Without the skeletal warhorses, Rex's warriors had all changed their weapons. They didn't use the heavy weapons anymore. Even Grizzly Bear had switched to the spear that Salin had made for him. War hammers and axes were put away, and the warriors were only left with three weapons: Qin Yin's eight-sided sword, a short sword, and a set of small alchemy crossbows.
Beside Rex, Byrne also revealed himself, no longer hiding himself. Grizzly Bear still led the way, and the two Black Iron Sword Saints followed closely behind. The team split into two groups and walked along the left side of the city wall.
The city wall seemed to be more than 30 meters tall, which would be considered a majestic city anywhere on the continent. However, it didn't match Lorgar's reputation. Most of the creatures captured by humans were nearly 100 meters tall, and this city wall was probably like a threshold for them.
No one knew how long this city wall had been built, but it was different from the cities on the continent. There were no horse paths or reinforced slopes. After walking for more than 500 meters, they finally saw a covered bridge. This covered bridge was connected to a tall building on the right side of the city wall. The wooden covered bridge seemed to have decayed, and there were only a dozen or so pillars under the bridge.
"Stick to the left side," Eleanor reminded them from behind. Grizzly Bear held his spear and followed Eleanor's instructions, passing between the pillars on the far left.
The scenery in front of them changed immediately. It was a small square surrounded by low houses. The houses faced the square and had signboards. The windows were open, and stalls were set up.
This was an old-fashioned trading market. Only Scotia had something like this.
"Hehe, how many years has it been? Food has appeared!" A noisy voice sounded. Yes, it was noisy. The voice was clearly coming from a mouth, but it was so chaotic that it was annoying. It was as if hundreds or thousands of people were chattering in one's ear. Even a Magician would feel uneasy after hearing this voice.
"What is it? Come out!" Grizzly Bear swung his spear and looked around. He didn't understand this ancient language.
"Here." The noisy voice changed to Ancient Myers Language, and a tall figure appeared in a magic array in the center of the square.
Grizzly Bear looked up and gloomily saw a majestic body. The monsters that he had encountered recently were always much taller than him, making his body seem incredibly fragile.
This was a typical demonic creature. The horns on its head were well-proportioned, and the skin on its face was blue with natural magic patterns. It was more than three meters tall and had a thick tail behind it. On his bare chest, there was a naturally formed image of a huge grimace.
Great Demon Mende?
Rex's heart pounded. The first guard was actually a Great Demon. This was going to be troublesome. Demons were cunning, and Greater Demons were very strong. This level was too difficult.
Nelis giggled and laughed out loud. She whispered in Salin's ear, "This is a phantom familiar. Its strength is not even comparable to an ordinary imp. He isn't using the Ultimate Transformation Spell. If you practice to the High Mage realm, you can see through it with your eyes. "
"Why do I feel that this phantom familiar is like an undead creature?" Salin had been in contact with undead creatures for a long time, so he was very sensitive to their presence. This phantom familiar gave him a strong feeling of death.
"Master, there are many types of familiars, but their lifespans are not very long. The longest one is only about 800 years old. I'm afraid no one has come to this city for thousands of years … "
"Yes, I don't know what method the goddess used to keep their souls from dissipating, and they can even maintain their bodies and skills."
Rex coughed when he saw Salin and Nelis whispering to each other.
The phantom familiar was still threatening Grizzly Bear. "Human, are you going to offer your body or your soul?"
Shika was already impatient. Phantom familiars could fool mages, but they couldn't fool a Caucasian priestess like her. This familiar's strength was far inferior to hers, so she was too lazy to do anything. She only shouted at Grizzly Bear from behind, "Big guy, this guy is lying to you. Hurry up and knock him over. Ask him the way back."
Huh? Grizzly Bear finally felt that something was wrong. This big guy looked very imposing, and the psychological pressure it gave him was real. But after talking for so long, why didn't he do anything?
Grizzly Bear had always thought of himself as a chef, but his battle instincts were very sharp. Otherwise, Rex wouldn't have been able to raise him to the level of an advanced swordsman after such a short period of training. This kind of progress couldn't be achieved by just having a good teacher. He had to have great talent.
As Shika reminded him, Grizzly Bear directly swept his spear. The skill of controlling sword aura he learned from Zola was perfectly demonstrated. The sword aura on the tip of the spear was condensed, but it carried an even sharper sound of the wind.
This spear wasn't fast, because it was a sweeping skill. The most powerful attack of the spear was, of course, a direct stab.
For warriors, swordsmanship was the highest level of skill, but swordsmanship was actually derived from spear skills. The sweeping and slashing movements of a long sword were not as powerful as a spear.
Even if it was an ordinary wooden spear, the power that it could unleash after accumulating power was still very great. The phantom demon was very fast. Grizzly Bear deliberately slowed down his sweeping speed, and it easily dodged the attack.
The people behind Grizzly Bear were very nervous. The swordsmen aimed their alchemy crossbows at the phantom demon, ready to attack at any time.
The spear was dodged by the phantom demon, and Grizzly Bear actually relaxed. If the opponent was very strong, it definitely wouldn't have dodged. This was because this was the famous Dragon Tail Spear Technique.
Grizzly Bear's metal spear swept through the air, curved in a huge arc, and fiercely bounced back, continuing to attack the phantom demon. This bounced attack was more than twice as fast as before. In addition to speed, it was also more powerful.
On the battlefield, when there were enemies on all sides, this kind of spear technique was very terrifying. If a swordsman used the Dragon Tail Spear Technique, he could rely on his spear to sweep through the battlefield. Every time it bounced back, the power of the spear increased, until the spear couldn't take it anymore. The phantom demon wasn't good at fighting, and it wasn't as strong as Grizzly Bear. It knew that the Dragon Tail Spear Technique was best interrupted at the first strike, but it didn't have the guts to touch Grizzly Bear's spear.
Sarin watched from behind. He saw Grizzly Bear's spear dance in arcs, but the sword aura on the tip of the spear remained condensed. The speed of the spear was getting faster and faster, and the phantom demon was in a difficult situation. He tried to use Mind Illusion to affect Grizzly Bear's movements, but once Grizzly Bear's sword aura was activated, no matter how he tried, it wouldn't affect him at all.
Sarin already had some understanding of the origin of sword aura. In order to understand the principle of sword aura, he repeatedly tested it on the silver swordsman. Now it seemed that he didn't know enough.
Grizzly Bear was only at the level of a senior swordsman, and it was difficult for him to release sword aura. However, the power of the spear was getting stronger and stronger, and it could even break a great mage's magic shield in one shot.
This was different from Shika's Water Pattern Shield. Shika relied on at least half of her powerful weapon, while Grizzly Bear relied entirely on his skills.
If a warrior's skills were constantly perfected, maybe one day, a warrior would become a truly powerful existence like a mage.
Sarin sighed in his heart, but he wasn't worried, because mages also had similar skills. His Water Pattern Shield could adjust to the enemy's attack to achieve the strongest defensive effect. His Level-4 defensive spell had actually reached the strength of a Level-6 spell. Before becoming a Magic Shooter, the Water Pattern Shield was the safest defensive spell that Sarin could use.
Defense alone wasn't much, because he had a strong calculation ability. Sarin could even calculate the movement pattern of a swordsman's sword aura and use low-level spells to destroy their attacks.
Although Sarin was only a Level-5 mage, he had already touched upon the secrets of the strong.
The strength of a Magic Shooter definitely didn't come from being able to cast forbidden spells, but from being able to use Level-1 spells to achieve the strongest killing effect.
At the level of a Magic Shooter, the magic string had grown to a special level. Casting Level-1 spells would hardly affect the number of magic strings. If it was only a battle with Level-1 spells, a Magic Shooter wouldn't even need to rest. As long as their mental strength allowed it, they could keep fighting.
Sarin understood these principles, but he didn't feel it as deeply as he did today. Grizzly Bear used his skills to teach Sarin a lesson.
The more Grizzly Bear fought, the more excited he became. The Phantom Familiar didn't dare to make any movements to resist, and could only rely on its extremely fast speed to dodge his attacks.
"Stop, stop, I surrender!" The Phantom Familiar finally couldn't hold on anymore. Grizzly Bear's spear was getting faster and faster. In a minute, he would definitely be hit.
Bang!
The spear fiercely hit the Phantom Familiar's shoulder, and a cloud of black smoke dispersed. The Phantom Familiar howled in pain and lay on the ground. When he looked again, he had already revealed his true body.
Rex couldn't help but laugh when he saw the Phantom Familiar's true body.
It was a very cute Phantom Familiar, small and exquisite, with short white hair all over its body. Its eyes were purple, and its face was very similar to a human's. It was covering its shoulder in pain, begging for mercy from Grizzly Bear.
"Dorothy, go and ask." Neris instructed a demon to ask. Dorothy was good at mental strength, so the Phantom Familiar couldn't even deceive her. In addition, demons had a strong deterrent effect on the Phantom Familiar. As long as Dorothy released a bit of demonic energy, the Phantom Familiar would completely give up resisting.
Dorothy's original body was a white, fat demon. Now that she had turned into a human woman, even if she wore armor, it couldn't hide her slim figure. He walked in front of the Phantom Familiar and released a bit of demonic energy.
The Phantom Familiar shivered. If its original body hadn't become a half-undead, it probably would have wet its pants immediately.
"I ask, and you answer. If I'm not satisfied with any of your answers, I'll give you to my master." Dorothy's words made the Phantom Familiar even more frightened.
Who else could be the master of a demon except a Great Demon?
"First question, how can I leave here?" Dorothy went straight to the point, not allowing the Phantom Familiar to play tricks. If the Phantom Familiar said it couldn't leave, then it was worthless and could die.
