Psychokinesis was the ability to interfere with the movement of material systems through the mind. In theory, Psychokinesis could interfere with both macroscopic and microscopic matter.
Although air was invisible, it was a substance that did exist. Although Roy had yet to reach the point where he could use Psychokinesis to control the various molecules in the air, he could use Psychokinesis to envelop the air in an area and compress it. This was the principle of the Air Shield.
With such a buffer layer, Roy had many benefits in a chaotic battle. After all, he mainly engaged in melee combat, so he naturally faced the enemy head-on more often. Even if the enemy's attack was buffered for 0.1 seconds, Roy would have more time to react.
Killing enemies and sweeping away the scattered souls nearby, Roy paid attention to the situation on Xeron's side while fighting.
Sure enough, Roy guessed correctly. This time, Xeron was very excited to personally participate in the battle. The warlike nature of demons was vividly displayed in him. The blood splattered all around him, making Xeron's demon eyes turn red and terrifying. While killing enemies, he kept roaring maniacally.
A soul floated out from the corpse of a pegasus knight he had killed. Xeron opened his mouth and sucked the soul into his mouth. The fear of the pegasus knight's death turned into an incomparably wonderful taste that lingered in Xeron's mouth, allowing him to heave a sigh of satisfaction. Then, he swung his scythe with both hands and harvested the enemy's life again.
Yes, just as Roy had guessed, Xeron devoured the souls on the battlefield while killing enemies. In fact, it was not just the loophole in the demon contract that prompted Xeron to do this. There was another reason, and that was the high-level demons that Ignatius, who had stayed in the demon castle, were about to summon.
If Xeron wanted to kill the Gold Dragon Queen, then he would need the help of a high-level demon army. However, summoning high-level demons also had a price. Xeron and the other two had to give some of the souls they obtained to these high-level demons. So the current situation was that Xeron felt that his expected gains had decreased, so he was trying to get them back on the battlefield.
In fact, Xeron was regretting it now. He regretted promising Roy a ten percent bonus when he signed the contract. At that time, he thought that he should be able to complete the mission with a large number of low-level demons, so he felt that it was not bad to give a little bonus to get Roy, an elite demon, to work for him. Who knew that when Ignatius and the others came, they actually brought news of the existence of the Gold Dragon Queen?
This way, compared to the other two high-rank demons, Rashka and Ignatius, Xeron would have to give away an extra portion of the soul income. Of course, he would feel unhappy.
There was no doubt that he wanted to make up for his losses now, so he naturally had to make up for it with Roy's demon contract. Therefore, while fighting, he devoured souls desperately, taking advantage of the fact that the battle was not over yet.
However, what he did not know was that when Roy saw him devouring souls while fighting, not only was he not annoyed, but he was also a little happy.
Eat, eat. I don't believe that you can still remember how many souls you devoured when you're desperately trying to get benefits like this!
After all, the number of pegasus knights was fixed. If they were all wiped out, then there should be as many souls as there were corpses. If only Roy was fishing for souls, then Xeron would be able to find out. But now, Xeron was also devouring souls. After the battle ended, the number of corpses and souls would not match, and he might not be able to detect it.
Now, Roy could seize souls without worry. He specifically chose places with more souls and ran to. Occasionally, he would find a pegasus knight as an opponent while roaring and roaring. He seemed to be fighting hard, but in fact, he was just collecting the souls nearby.
After collecting more than forty souls in a row, the battle on the battlefield was nearing its end. Only then did Roy stop.
This army of pegasus knights was almost completely slaughtered. Since they did not choose to escape, the demons naturally would not show mercy. More than two hundred pegasus knights were buried here.
However, although they all died in battle, they also caused a lot of damage to Xeron's demon army. The pegasus knights were considered mid-level troops in the elven army, and their lethality was quite high. In this attack, Xeron's demon army lost hundreds of little demons and more than a dozen hellhounds.
But the greatest loss was the siege equipment. Half of the ten catapults that Xeron brought were destroyed by the pegasus knights, and three ballistae were lost. After the battle ended, Xeron looked at the scattered parts of the destroyed siege equipment and could not stop his anger from surging.
He knew that his army's march would probably be delayed …
When the little demons collected all the souls floating on the battlefield and offered them to Xeron, Xeron felt that it was a little less, but he did not care much. He did not count how many souls he had devoured before.
In addition, he felt that no one would have the guts to steal and devour the souls that belonged to him …
As a high-rank demon, Xeron was too confident. How could he know that not only did someone dare to steal his souls, but it was not just one or two, but more than forty!
Of the more than two hundred pegasus knights, only about a hundred and sixty souls fell into Xeron's hands in the end, and Xeron had to give about sixteen souls to Roy as a reward. This was equivalent to Roy obtaining more than fifty souls in the end!
And this was only a small-scale battle. If the scale of the war was larger, Roy estimated that he would be able to obtain more souls.
After receiving the sixteen souls that Xeron reluctantly handed over, Roy pretended to greedily stuff them into his mouth and devour them, but in fact, he used the storage function of the system to store them.
After 'eating', Roy said to Xeron with a satisfied expression, "Thank you for your generosity, Your Excellency Xeron! Your violence and bravery are a model for the demons! "
"Okay, I'll give you a mission now. As you can see, these damn AvLee elves' reconnaissance troops destroyed our catapults. Now, we have to repair them. I'll stop here with the troops for the time being. Take some people and search around to see if there are any elven sawmills. Get some wood back and repair these catapults!" Xeron was finally in a good mood after being flattered by Roy. Xeron would never say such words from the low-level demons, so he laughed. "Okay, I'll give you a mission now. As you can see, these damn AvLee elves' reconnaissance troops destroyed our catapults. Now, we must repair them.
"Yes, Your Excellency Xeron!" Roy lowered his head slightly to indicate that he accepted the order. After retreating a little, he turned around and left to gather his men.
Xeron was actually very impatient with trivial matters like repairing the siege equipment. In the past, he could only do this kind of trivial matter himself. But now that he had a smart demon like Roy, Xeron naturally slacked off as much as he could.
Roy brought Fat Tiger, a dozen hellhounds, and more than twenty little demons out of the camp to search for the sawmill.
Xeron had let him out to act because he was lazy. This was a good opportunity to escape, but Roy did not intend to do so. Now that the demons had invaded the border of Erathia, the humans and their allies, the elves, were already at war. What if he accidentally encountered an army if he escaped? A lone demon would only have one outcome in front of a large number of enemies.
Moreover, if he wanted to reverse activate the summoning formation and return, he needed a large amount of magic power. His most important task now was to mix in the demon army and accumulate enough souls to strengthen his magic power.
Although he did not intend to escape, it was a very good opportunity for Roy to lead a team to search for the sawmill alone.
