These beetles, without exception, were all daemons.
Although they were not as numerous as the skeleton soldiers, there were still hundreds of them. Some of them were even species that could fly. Their individual strength was already stronger than most of the adventurers.
Under the attack of these hundreds of beetles, the defense line around the town suddenly collapsed.
The private army under the liege's command had a large number of casualties in the blink of an eye. Even the adventurers who served the liege and had raised their level limit once were no match for those beetles.
After the defense line collapsed, the beetles and the skeletons immediately invaded the entire town.
Screams filled with fear and screams filled with pain rang out incessantly.
The skeletons and beetles went on a killing spree. Along the way, as long as they encountered a humanoid lifeform, each of them would rush forward without fear of death until they killed it. Only then would they continue to look for the next target.
They had no intelligence and did not know what fear was. Even if they were stronger than them, they would not hesitate to rush forward.
The residents in the town had long been frightened and fled in all directions. However, in the situation where there were waves of daemons everywhere, there was no way for them to escape at all. Most of them were caught by the daemons, and then they were either slashed to death by the swords of the skeletons or stabbed to death by the mouthparts of the beetles.
The entire town was instantly filled with rivers of blood.
Panic, fear, cursing, begging for mercy … The various expressions of life in the face of death were happening in this town. Even the people who threw their friends to the monsters so that they could escape, and the people who pushed their wives and children out to hide in a narrow hole alone, such things that harmed others for their own benefit became common under such circumstances.
Ordinary people were massacred in large numbers.
The remaining knights and adventurers were escorting the liege, trying to break out of the encirclement to a safe zone.
"They can't escape."
Ryuga had arrived at this town long ago. His eyes that had turned into the color of gemstones stared at the direction where the liege left. His powerful vision allowed him to see most of the battlefield at a glance.
Under the gaze of his Demonic Eye of the Future, the liege and the adventurers under his command would die in the sea of skeletons in three minutes.
Then, as expected.
After three minutes, without any external interference, the liege and the adventurers fell into the sea of skeletons and were hacked to death.
"The death of the Lord. Such an outcome should be enough to attract the attention of the Royal Capital."
Ryuga retracted her gaze and looked at the city that had fallen into a sea of blood. "If everyone is dead, it's useless no matter how hard I try to perform. It's necessary to leave some audience behind."
With this thought in mind, Ryuga casually walked into the town that was on the verge of destruction.
As a result, large expanses of flames quickly infected half of the sky.
Be it the skeletons or the beetles, none of them could break through to him. Under the seemingly endless radiation of the flames, the daemons that wreaked havoc on the streets and houses were quickly reduced to ashes.
Ryuga's [Mystic Killer] had a special ability to deal with magic. Even if it was just a little bit of flame, it would cause great damage to a magical creature.
He walked on the street that was filled with corpses and burned all the skeletons and beetles that attacked him and the other survivors into ashes without any fear.
The ordinary people that were saved by him looked at his tall figure and were in a daze.
The lone adventurers who were fighting in the town watched his figure go on a killing spree. Their eyes were filled with shock.
Almost most of the survivors saw the scene of Ryuga slaughtering the daemons.
Their eyes were filled with the joy of surviving a great disaster, and their longing and gratitude for Ryuga. In their eyes, Ryuga who was slaughtering the daemons was no different from a hero.
While bathed in the flames, Ryuga's eyes were constantly popping up with notifications of experience points and levels.
“EXP+10！”
“EXP+10！”
“EXP+50！”
“LevelUp！”
As Liu Xia casually killed the monsters that were charging at him, he focused his mind and mentally tapped on the status icon at the top right of his vision.
— — Ryuga Kuramime
Profession: Adventurer Lvl 23
Equipment: Otherworld clothing
Magic: None
… …
In just about an hour, Ryuga's level rose to 23.
Of course, this was because he had taken over all the magical creatures in the wave, and then massacred them in large batches.
"I feel that my strength has increased a little, but it doesn't seem to have increased?"
Ryuga felt the strength in his body again.
He was subtly aware of the increase in strength, but when he sensed it carefully, he felt that it didn't increase at all. It was as if the previous feeling was just an illusion.
Looking at the values of attack and defense, it had broken through the single digits. From the numerical point of view, his strength should have increased a little.
But that little bit might not even be 1%? So it felt like an illusion to him.
By the roadside.
An adventurer wearing silver armor was facing the siege of several beetle daemons alone.
Under the siege of these ferocious-looking beetles, the adventurer showed great strength. The long sword in her hand easily opened the hard mouthparts of the beetles, and then pierced through a beetle. Obviously, she had a certain level of swordsmanship.
As long as there was enough time, she could kill all the beetles that besieged her.
However, her solid performance and the gradual death of her companions attracted the attention of more daemons. A beetle with the ability to fly fell from the sky, stretched out its mouthparts, and directly pierced her head.
Daemons with the ability to fly were very difficult to deal with. If it was just some bird-type daemons, it would be fine, but these beetles were all tall and had a strong impact.
Besieged by several ordinary beetles and a flying beetle, the adventurer was suddenly in a perilous situation.
The long sword in her hand was sharp enough to kill a beetle, but it was helpless against the flying beetle. Because of the hasty departure, she didn't even bring an alchemy tool with her.
"Abominable daemons …!"
She secretly shouted in a low voice, her voice full of anxiety and unwillingness. "How can I be stopped by mere daemons here? I still have to go find Father —"
"Whoosh!"
As she was retreating, a tornado-like torrent of flames suddenly swept from the street not far away. In a flash, the few beetle daemons that besieged her, including the flying beetle, were all burned to ashes. They didn't even have time to scream.
"Hmm … The flying beetle gives a little more EXP, I can't let it go."
Liu Xia passed by this intersection. After burning all the beetles, she let out a low groan and continued to walk forward as if she was taking a stroll in the park.
"Ah … please wait a moment!"
After a moment of shock, the adventurer hurriedly called out and quickly ran in the direction of Ryuga.
The voice was pleasant and awe-inspiring.
