Of course, Roy was not stupid enough to choose to devour souls openly on the battlefield. If Xeron saw it, he would fly into a rage.
Therefore, Roy decided that it was best to use the storage function of the system to hide souls. It was both stealthy and fast, and Xeron, who was supervising the battle, would not discover the act of devouring souls.
After destroying the village of the AvLee elves, the army continued to move forward. Xeron rode on a tall Nightmare warhorse, which was his mount, Mordica. This huge Nightmare warhorse was also covered in thick armor. When it moved, it would leave behind a trail of flames that would only extinguish after a long time. Xeron sat on this warhorse with a black scythe in his hand. That was his weapon. Thousands of demons surrounded him as he moved forward, making him look majestic.
In the next few days, this army encountered some migrating elven tribes from time to time. Every time they encountered these elves, Xeron would explain the nature of demons to them.
Destruction, all destruction! Not to mention encountering living creatures, even if they encountered an empty village, Xeron would set fire to it and burn it down. If one could observe from the sky, they would find that along the route of Xeron's demon army, there was only blood, corpses, and charred ashes. Apart from that, there was nothing else …
Such vile behavior naturally aroused the anger of the elves. On the seventh day of the march, an elven reconnaissance team from the side discovered traces of Roy's demon army. Logically speaking, they should have gone back to report, but unfortunately, they were immediately enraged after seeing the corpses of their clansmen!
In addition to wanting to avenge their compatriots, they also discovered that this demon army had a large number of siege weapons, so after using carrier pigeons to send an alarm, they caught up with Xeron's demon army from the rear and launched a surprise attack!
There were not many of them, only about a hundred. However, because they were reconnaissance troops, they emphasized mobility, so there were no slow-moving troops in this elven army but pegasus knights!
These pegasus were a specialty of the AvLee elves. Although they were identical to ordinary horses, they had two large wings on their backs. In addition to being able to run on land, they could also fly quickly at low altitudes. On the back of the pegasus, there would often be an elven warrior riding on them. Although these elven warriors were light and not strong, when they held blades in their hands and used the high speed of the pegasus to charge at the enemy, they could often cause great damage.
More than a hundred pegasus knights attacked the demon army, and their target was clear. It was the baggage pulled by the demon army at the back!
The moment these pegasus knights appeared at low altitudes, they swooped down and charged at the tallest catapults. As they flew past, the knights on the pegasus took the opportunity to slash at the fragile support structure of the catapults. In just one round of attacks, four catapults were destroyed. When the catapults disintegrated, the heavy logs collapsed and injured many nearby hellhound demons.
Xeron was furious when he saw the pegasus knights whizzing past the demon army. He would rather lose his troops than lose these siege weapons because it was difficult for demons to repair and rebuild them with their craftsmanship. Without the siege weapons, Xeron's troops would be at a loss once they encountered an elven city. After all, he was leading low-level demons and did not have many means of attack against the tall city walls …
Taking advantage of the pegasus knights circling around at low altitudes and returning, Xeron raised his demon scythe with one hand and used it like a magic staff. With this action, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared above the pegasus knights! The lightning first struck the head of the first pegasus knight, and with a crackling sound, the lightning shot towards the other pegasus knight behind him!
This bolt of lightning bounced around the pegasus knights seven or eight times. The pegasus knights didn't even have time to react. Every pegasus knight that was struck by the lightning was charred black. Together with their pegasus mounts, they fell from the sky and turned into meat paste when they hit the ground.
This was the magic Chain Lightning, and it was extremely powerful!
Seeing this scene, Roy could not help but mourn for these pegasus knights. According to his observations during this time, he found that this high-rank demon knew the four elements of magic in this world. At present, at least two of them were high-level. One was the earth element, and the other was the air element. The earth element was the earthquake that Roy had seen when he detonated the volcano, and the air element was naturally this Chain Lightning!
As for water magic, Xeron rarely used it, but when Roy was summoned, he had suffered a Weakness spell from him. At that time, even Roy's Bloodlust had been canceled out, so water magic was definitely not low.
As for the last element, fire magic, Roy had not seen Xeron use it, but Roy guessed that he definitely knew it. For demons of the Abyss, magma and flames were their companions from birth, so it was almost impossible for them not to know fire magic. Roy even guessed that fire magic might be Xeron's forte, but this guy had never shown it …
This was the power of a high-rank demon like Xeron. Not to mention that he knew all four types of magic, his level was quite high. However, Roy had never seen Xeron use dark magic. He did not know if it was because the four types of magic were more suitable for war or because of the restrictions of the magic rules in this world.
Roy guessed that it might be the former because at least he could use Bloodlust on himself and did not feel any suppression from the rules of this world.
In any case, Xeron's Chain Lightning made the pegasus knights nervous and dispersed. This reconnaissance team was only a small-scale army, and there were no elven heroes among them. A pegasus knight who looked like the captain shouted. This pegasus knight was a little different from the other pegasus knights. He and his pegasus were wearing silver armor. Under his command, the pegasus knights immediately distanced themselves, not giving Xeron a chance to continue using Chain Lightning.
Xeron snorted coldly and raised the scythe in his hand again. But this time, he released a Divine Shield spell to bless his demon army.
Then Xeron roared at the gogs in the army, "Shoot! Shoot them down! "
Upon receiving the order, the Gog Demons immediately spat on their palms and flung the saliva at the pegasus riders in midair. The next moment, a large amount of flames exploded in the sky. These flames didn't need to be aimed precisely. As long as there were pegasus riders nearby, the flames would immediately ignite the pegasus' feathers. Once the pegasus was injured, they would immediately whinnied and fall to the ground. The Hellhounds that had been eyeing them covetously would immediately swarm up and tear the pegasus riders into pieces.
The pegasus knights were even more furious when they saw their compatriots being killed. The silver pegasus knight leader shouted, "Revenge!!" Then he led the team and swooped down. Under his lead, the pegasus knights also rushed down and fought the demon army on the ground. At this moment, they had already disregarded life and death and did not think about going back alive, so they naturally killed as many as they could.
After rushing down, some of them resisted the attacks of the demon army while others continued to destroy the siege weapons!
"We can't let them destroy the remaining catapults. Kill them!" Xeron roared. He clamped the abdomen of the nightmare warhorse, waved his demon scythe, and charged forward with the army.
Roy naturally rushed forward. He rushed into the hellhounds, first met up with Fat Tiger, and then faced the pegasus knights together.
Compared to other low-level demons, Roy was much taller, so he immediately attracted the attention of the pegasus knights as soon as he appeared on the battlefield. After killing the hellhounds in front of them, two pegasus knights immediately swung their swords at Roy.
However, before their swords could pierce Roy's body, they suddenly felt as though the swords in their hands had fallen into a quagmire. There was a flexible resistance coming from their hands, and it was quite strenuous!
This sudden resistance caused them to be distracted, and their movements were naturally a step slower. The consequences were fatal. The next second, Roy's sharp claws had already cut their throats!
The pegasus knights died tragically, and the pegasus they were riding were not spared. Roy held down one pegasus with one hand and tore its wings with the other. As for the remaining pegasus, Fat Tiger pounced on it from the side and bit it to death with his three heads.
With a very covert wave of his hand, Roy stored the souls of the two pegasus knights into the system. He glanced at Xeron from the corner of his eyes and found that he was not paying attention to the situation on his side at all, so he felt more at ease. One demon and one dog began to rush into the battlefield. Not only did they kill the enemies that rushed up, but they also continuously collected the scattered souls on the battlefield.
Every pegasus knight who fought Roy would, without exception, have the same symptoms as the first two pegasus knights when they attacked him. It was as though there was an invisible air cushion shield around Roy.
What they did not know was that Roy was using Psychokinesis!
Roy's Psychokinesis was an auxiliary ability brought about by the perfect strengthening of the T-Virus. He did not create it himself, so he could not define or modify its attributes. Previously, his Psychokinesis ability was relatively weak, and its range of use had always been relatively small. Therefore, other than using it to show off, Roy had never used it in battle.
Roy originally thought that this Psychokinesis ability should be related to the size of mental strength, but the problem was that there was no mental strength attribute in Roy's attributes, so he had never found a way to enhance his Psychokinesis. Even if he used it repeatedly, it did not seem to be able to improve his Psychokinesis. It was not until he discovered that souls could be used to make Magic Energy Growth Potions, and Roy had been taking this potion recently that he suddenly discovered that the power of Psychokinesis seemed to have grown!
In the beginning, Psychokinesis seemed to only be able to control objects that were not heavy. But now, Psychokinesis could even control invisible things like air. He could use the power of Psychokinesis to tightly squeeze the air together, greatly increasing the density of the air, and thus create an 'air shield' to guard in front of him.
The reason for this change was naturally the enhancement of his magic energy. Only now did Roy realize that he had made a mistake. The body structure of demons was different from that of humans. Humans might have something like mental strength, but for demons, the source of all energy came from the demon heart! The demon heart was the power assembly of a demon!
When the Magic Energy Growth Potion increased his magic energy, it naturally strengthened his heart, and the strengthening of his heart, in turn, fed back to Roy's Psychokinesis ability, causing his Psychokinesis power to increase.
