Brando raised his swords-
Longhorn Demons were one of the few high-level melee demons in the Sulfur River with extremely high intelligence. They looked a bit like naked Gnolls, but their bodies were far larger than the latter. No one knew the specific origins of the Longhorn Demons. The earliest Longhorn Demons appeared in the Bloodfire Grounds at the lower level of the Sulfur River. It was said that they had evolved from imps who had experienced hundreds of battles there to their current form.
Some of the characteristics of the Longhorn Demons did indeed have traces of imps, whether it was the same purplish-red skin or the sharp fangs and claws. In fact, it looked just like an imp that had been magnified several times, except for the fact that its fleshy wings had degenerated and its tail had become thick and long to maintain its balance.
More importantly, every Longhorn Demon was proven to have rich combat experience. There were almost no Longhorn Demons in the juvenile state. Every Longhorn Demon discovered by the Holy Cathedral of Fire before and after this was at least an adult individual, and an adult Longhorn Demon had strength almost equivalent to Elemental Activation.
In other words, Brando had to deal with three Elemental Activation monsters at the same time. Before he had time to think, the three Longhorn Demons had already rushed up in large strides.
Brando pulled out King Buni's Concealment Cloak from the Dimensional Space and handed it to Amandina. The Concealment Cloak only lasted for about four minutes a day. It was most suitable to give it to Amandina at this time so that she could find the portal's node as soon as possible without any worries.
Amandina took the cloak and bit her lip as she glanced at Brando. Since she already knew how to use the cloak, she did not need Brendel to explain anything. She paused for a moment and covered herself completely, and in the next moment, she disappeared into thin air in front of everyone's eyes.
Brando was the only one left by the portal.
"Amandina, hurry up!" Brando shouted into the air.
He didn't know if Amandina heard him, but he hoped she did. Amandina seemed to have completely disappeared under the cover of Omnipresent, which made Brando feel uncertain. But at this point, he could only choose to believe in the noble girl from the Braggs.
A claw came out of nowhere and interrupted Brando. Three Longhorn Demons were already in front of him. To be precise, the first to arrive was their merciless attack. At least one of the three Longhorn Demons was a flame-related elemental because Brando saw its snow-white claws dragging three long flame trails in the air.
This was the power of Elemental Energy.
Brando's eyes even reflected the golden Lines of Law that extended after this claw, and a heat wave assaulted his face. However, he didn't dare to take it head-on. He leaned back, and the scorching hot air brushed past his forehead. The brown hair on his forehead immediately dried up and curled up.
After one claw.
It was the tail.
As expected, Brando subconsciously captured the movements of the Longhorn Demons' tails. When he saw them turn sideways, a whip tail had already swept over. He was already prepared and rolled forward under the other party's tail. At the same time, when he got up, he smoothly stabbed the Longhorn Demon in the back.
But unfortunately, this sword only left a shallow wound on the Longhorn Demon's body.
Its defense was very high, and its attack was very high, but its movements were slightly slow, exactly the same as Brando remembered. Of course, slow movements were relatively speaking. For ordinary people, it was the same category that couldn't be seen clearly.
Two rounds of attacks missed at the same time. The three Longhorn Demons were also taken aback. Although they had never fought with humans, Brando's reaction was obviously beyond the concept of ordinary speed. With their intelligence, they faintly felt that something was wrong. It was as if they were facing an enemy for the first time, but it was as if they were facing a familiar old opponent.
The Longhorn Demons turned around.
Brando had already rolled to the other side and stood out of their melee attack range, and then immediately launched an attack. At the same time, he glanced in the direction of the portal. He didn't know where Amandina was, but he didn't dare to let these demons leave.
After all, the Concealment Cloak was just a cover. It didn't really mean that he was no longer in the Prime Material Plane. He had to find a way to attract the attention of these monsters. It wasn't an easy job, but Brando still immediately found a way.
He targeted a Longhorn Demon on the left and rushed up from the side. This way, there was at least a time difference between the other two demons to surround him. He clenched the Halran Gaia in his hand and slashed at the demon's horns. This was the source of the Longhorn Demon's power.
The Longhorn Demon hurriedly tilted its head to avoid Brando's sword, and at the same time stretched out its hand to block. But Brando let out a roar, and the Halran Gaia in his hand was like a black light. The blade disappeared in front of the Longhorn Demon's arm, and the next moment, it hit the Longhorn Demon's shoulder.
With a loud bang, the demon was directly sent flying and collided with its companion.
But Brando immediately saw it get up. There was a deep wound on its shoulder that showed the bone, but other than that, it didn't seem to be a big problem. Demons had three hearts and four lungs. Their bodily functions were not on the same level as humans. Such a wound would be at least a serious injury on a human, but it wasn't even a minor injury to it.
Brando frowned and hurriedly retreated. Because at this time, the remaining demon had already swept its claws over. He raised his head at the last moment to avoid it, but his cheek was inevitably cut by the wind pressure brought by the sharp blade, and it was burning with pain.
He wiped it gently, and his face was full of blood.
The smell of blood seemed to spread, making the three Longhorn Demons a little restless. Brando pursed his lips. In fact, he knew that the smell of blood would make demons excited beyond control. Even a high-grade demon like the Longhorn Demon couldn't avoid it.
Demons in a frenzied state were more difficult to deal with than usual, but at least it ensured that their way of thinking would not be dominated by reason again and go back to find trouble with Amandina.
Brando carefully calculated the situation as he retreated. Now, everything was still under control, but there were still unstable factors. He gritted his teeth and decided to light a fire for the other party to completely eliminate all future troubles.
"A big lizard that shed its skin, is that all you've got?" He mocked in a contemptuous tone.
This sentence was actually a line that the dark elves of the underground world often used to ridicule the Longhorn Demons. Ever since they lost the Tip of Ashes, the dark elves and demons had been irreconcilable enemies for a long time, and the conversation between them was naturally not friendly.
If one had to rank the ten most hateful taunts of the Longhorn Demons, then they would definitely hate whoever called them a big lizard that shed its skin the most. Although they did look a little like some kind of food for the dark elves.
As soon as Brando said this, the three Longhorn Demons immediately let out vicious curses. In fact, they originally wanted to kill Brando first, and now they were even more relentless.
As soon as the three demons rushed up, Brando naturally wouldn't foolishly go up and meet them head-on. Instead, he retreated with the help of the terrain near the portal. In fact, the Longhorn Demons were a little faster than him, but unfortunately, sometimes speed was not enough to catch up.
Especially to Brando, who was used to intercepting from which direction when they turned around. If it was in The Amber Sword, the superb 'kiting technique' he displayed at this moment would definitely be enough to attract most people's attention. Of course, that gain and loss was long before the fourth update of the game.
Because after that, the players had already thoroughly grasped the demons, and high-level footmen like the Longhorn Demons were really not difficult at all. Brando even later saw a video of someone kiting a Longhorn Demon over level ten, and he didn't know which god's smurf it was. In fact, everything he was doing now was the crystallization of the wisdom of countless players.
However, reality and the game were still slightly different after all, and each of these differences was a bloody wound on Brando's body. If he hadn't reacted in time, he would have been torn to shreds by the other party several times.
To be honest, not to mention the Cards of Fate, if he had any one of Fanaticism, Nine Luminaries Sword Art, or Flash Strike Sword Art, he was confident that he could take on one of the Longhorn Demons without breaking a sweat. He wouldn't be at a disadvantage even in the face of three demons.
But unfortunately, he had nothing now, and even his physical strength quickly entered a state of fatigue. Fortunately, he still had the Unyielding Talent, otherwise, the negative effects of the fatigue state alone would be enough to make him regret it immediately.
Brando began to circle the portal three times, his left arm was clawed, his back was hit, and his whole body was covered in blood. However, he also tried to fight back a few times, but unfortunately, the Longhorn Demon's skin was too thick. He estimated according to the method in the game, at most, he took off less than one-third of the opponent's HP.
Besides, the demons' self-recovery was extremely strong, and they might have recovered quite a bit by now.
In less than a minute, Brendel began to feel the pressure on him increasing exponentially. There was still no news from Amandina's side, and on the other side, Nicholas didn't seem to be able to get close for a while. He estimated that he would have to hold on for at least another minute.
But this minute was enough to kill him.
He couldn't go on like this.
Brando suddenly turned his head and stood by the portal. The Longhorn Demons pouncing from behind hurriedly stopped. High intelligence also had this disadvantage, they at least knew what they couldn't hit. Although the portal wasn't so easy to break, who could guarantee it?
If it was a hellhound with low intelligence, it might have pounced and directly knocked Brando into the portal. But unfortunately, the Longhorn Demons didn't have the courage.
If it weren't for the portal, Brando would have been dismembered dozens of times.
He took a step back and subconsciously searched his chest to see if there was anything he could find to save him. But this search only made him feel a dagger.
He was slightly startled before remembering that this thing was something he practiced alchemy with. To be honest, it really wasn't of much use on such a battlefield.
But Brando still took it out and threw it at the demon.
The Longhorn Demon couldn't help but be startled when it suddenly saw Brando make a move. It hurriedly dodged to the side, but then it saw that it was just an ordinary dagger. It couldn't help but scream in anger. On the other side, Brando laughed. He didn't expect this stroke of genius to unexpectedly help him.
Once again, the demons pounced on him.
Brando retreated again and rolled backward. Another dagger was thrown at the Longhorn Demon. This time, the demon didn't fall for it no matter what. It blocked with its hand and directly sent the dagger flying without even breaking its skin.
Brando immediately threw out a third dagger.
He had made a lot of daggers like this when he practiced. Of course, the materials used in the later works were more ordinary, and even far less powerful than the first one. This way, the dagger he threw was no threat to the demons, and it was purely a naked mockery.
In just a moment, the Longhorn Demons were so angry that they almost went crazy. They were only a few feet away from Brando. Two Longhorn Demons had even circled around to one side, ready to block Brando's retreat, and the remaining one had already pounced with a roar.
Brando threw the dagger again.
The dagger hit the demon's chest.
It didn't even look at it before it was ready to knock the thing away. To be honest, this thing was similar to a child throwing a handful of sand at it. As long as it didn't hit its eyes, it was worthless no matter where it was thrown.
But this time, it just touched the dagger and felt that something was wrong.
First of all, the touch was slightly different.
It subconsciously lowered its head and was surprised to see that Brando didn't throw a dagger at all, but some kind of deformed cone-shaped object. Although the Longhorn Demon had extremely high intelligence, it couldn't figure out what it was for a while.
But it didn't need to figure it out.
Because in the next moment, a terrible pain came from its chest. The Longhorn Demon saw the magic power disintegrate on its body, and its huge body shattered as if it had collapsed. The dark magic power surged out and directly formed a black hole. In an instant, it screamed and completely pulled it back.
It was pulled back to the underground of the Sulfur River.
For a time, only the last scream of the demon was left in the heavy rain.
Even Brando was shocked. What he threw was naturally the terrifying God-slaying Magic Breaking Awl. But he didn't expect that for the existence of the demon's projection on the main material plane, this thing would not only directly disintegrate its power, but it even negated its existence.
Brando, who witnessed all this with his own eyes, looked up, dumbfounded. For the first time, he understood why this thing was called a nuclear weapon by the players at that time.
The guy holding this thing did have the potential to be a terrorist.
But there were two more. Brando subconsciously wanted to get up from the ground. But the bones in his body hurt as if they had fallen apart. Even he didn't know if the other party would give him a chance. Probably not, the Longhorn Demons weren't fools.
