Half-elf Ranger

Chapter 286: encounter the devil

In the dimly lit hall, only the soft light of the Lighting Technique flickered slightly under the shadow of the Tiamat sculpture, reflecting the figures of everyone.

The paladin Peotti stepped forward and looked at the gorgeous granite reliefs on the stone gate in front of him, as well as the various dragon-shaped creatures that were depicted lifelike.

In the end, he locked his eyes on a circle of about half a meter in diameter drawn on a dark red tile, because the dragon's claws were engraved with mysterious runes that circulated aura.

In the eyes of everyone's anticipation, the paladin Peo raised his sword above his head, and was about to lift his breath and slash down, suddenly paused, then turned to look at the ranger behind him:

"Mr. Thorne, I have deliberately slowed down, why don't you remind me if there are any traps here."

"...There is no trap this time, you can open it with confidence." Thorne was startled, glanced at the suddenly smart dragonborn and said.

"Really?" Although the paladin Peo was very puzzled as to why the other party was so sure that there were no traps, he still followed the goblin wizard's method.

"boom!"

With the light sound of a sharp blade hitting the granite relief, the mysterious rune in the circle was shattered by the paladin, and the flowing aura instantly dissipated in the icy air.

"Okay, you can just push the stone door open." Malvasa, who was standing behind, noticed the gaze from the paladin and said.

"Mr. Thorne, are there any traps this time?" The paladin who received the news turned his attention to Thorne and asked.

"Probably... no." Thorne looked at the paladin who became cautious and replied uncertainly.

"No problem, you can just push it away." Malvasa smiled and gave him a reassurance when she saw the ink-stained paladin.

"Okay!" Paladin Peo responded happily, then his eyes narrowed slightly, and he used all his strength to slowly push the stone door open.

"It's a study room." Thorne, who walked into the room first, looked at the stone bookshelves that were lying down, and the books that looked like rubbish.

"Come on, these books have become useless in the passing time."

Malvasha glanced at everyone, and used the hand of magic to float a relatively intact book, but just when she reached out her little hand to touch it, it turned into a pile of debris.

Then everyone walked towards another house along a passage cleared out in the stack of books.

In another spacious room that seems to be carved by nature, under the faint fluorescent light, it can be found that the walls and roofs are full of glowing fungi, toadstools, mushrooms, lichens and other plants, as well as some coral-like insects. Lower animals, as well as other indistinguishable hideous creatures.

In the deepest part of the room, there is a dimly lit lavender disc with a diameter of about five meters, which can be recognized at a glance as a device similar to a portal.

Thorne looked at the indistinguishable creatures that had begun to raise their heads, flap their wings, and clench their weapons on the ground. He was startled, and immediately thought of a good solution.

So he first pushed Anderina back gently, motioning her to step back.

Then, he moved his hand to the position of the sword hilt without a trace, suppressed the floating breath of the trembling sword, and walked towards those hideous creatures.

Although there were more than a dozen indistinguishable creatures not far away, Thorne looked at them a little and found that they must be devils from the Hell of Baator.

The first thing that catches the eye is a dark, wasp-like devil with small tentacles on its head, a face like a human woman, a lower jaw like a straw, and a carapace-like skin with a pair of black wings. The end of the body is long With a gleaming stinger.

The number of this devil creature is the largest, there are ten in total.

Immediately afterwards, there is a short, stout, black bat-winged devil with an oversized and elongated head, small pig-like eyes, a pug-like nose and a large mouth full of fangs. The number of such devils is two in the whole room.

The last two are also the two that seem to have the strongest physique.

This kind of devil is about four meters tall. In addition to a pair of sharp horns on its head and two arms that are thicker than thighs, there are also a pair of wide black bat wings behind it, dragging a slender tail.

"It turned out to be the Hornet Demon, Anzu Demon, and Xiongba Demon." Malvasa at the door noticed the approaching Thorne and the slowly floating demon, and immediately recognized the names of these three kinds of demons.

Looking at Thorne's figure in front of him, Malvasa's mind immediately came up with the basic information of the devil.

"Small mortal, hurry up and stop your ignorant steps." Just as Thorne slowly approached the devil, an Anzumo roared and roared.

"A bunch of idiots! I followed the instructions of the Dragon Queen, and I came here to open the portal to Baator's hell, so let's get out of the way!" Thorne scolded sharply as he looked at the demons floating in the air.

After speaking, he directly pressed his hand to the position of the hilt, as if the sharp blade would be unsheathed at any time as long as these devils dared to stop him.

"So it turns out, this little guy's brain is quite clever." Seeing Thorne scolding the devil in a pretentious manner, Malvasa whispered to herself, after all, she really knows too much about the devil.

These demons from the evil and lawful kingdom of Baator hell, although they advocate violence and are both evil and cruel, their social hierarchy is very strict, and the class division is very strict, which makes them have to think about it when they hear the dragon queen .

"Is it the messenger sent by the Dragon Queen?" Anzumo glanced at the half-elf not far away, and then looked at the figures of several companions at the door, and a trance flashed in his vicious eyes.

The wicked devil hesitated when Thorne revealed that he had come on an order from Tiamat, the evil dragon god.

Because their mission is to guard the gate of another world that was desperately sealed by the dragonborn wizard, waiting for the dragon queen to send someone to open it again.

However, they have stayed here for an unknown number of years, and they have not waited for the messenger who came to liberate them. Now that someone suddenly came, they were a little overwhelmed.

Thorne breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the hesitant demons, because he knew he had guessed right, and these demons were there to guard the gate of another world.

The reason why this portal has not been reopened is most likely because the believers of Tiamat have never found the ruins of the city hidden here.

"Don't hurry away! Can you fools afford to ruin the Dragon Queen's plan?" Noticing the devils who hadn't moved, Thorne roared again.

The bewildered devils looked at each other, and immediately flapped their black bat wings to make way for Thorne.

"No! The one with the lizard head is a paladin, they are not messengers sent by the Dragon Queen! They are here to destroy the portal!"

Suddenly, an Anzumo seemed to sense something, and suddenly found that the paladin Peo was exuding a very uncomfortable aura, and immediately roared.

- "Awesome momentum!"

At this time, Thorne, whose identity was exposed, had already arrived in the group of more than a dozen demons, so he instantly took out his long sword to kill demons and activated the special ability attached to his background feat.

An invisible slaughtering aura, guided by the long sword of Demon Slaying, mixed with the "immortal evil" characteristic of Demon Slaying, erupted with a powerful aura, like the screams of demons, mercilessly moving towards him. All the demons around Thorne shrouded their hearts.

Immediately, the figures of these demons floating in the air suddenly froze and fell towards the ground like dumplings.

"Kill the two smallest first!" Thorne, who was about to attack, suddenly heard Malvasia's reminder.

So he immediately waved his long sword mercilessly towards the Anzu Demon who had just recovered and was about to fly again.

Two scorching sword lights flashed across like lightning. One Anzumo was beheaded and died immediately. The other Anzumo, who dodged in time, was cut off by Thorne with a bat wing and fell to the ground again.

Just as Thorne was about to continue chasing, Anzumo immediately condensed a dark red fireball and whizzed towards him.

Thorne leaned forward and dashed, rubbing the high temperature of the fireball whistling past and dodging in a thrilling manner, and at the same time approaching Anzumo.

Then he rolled on the spot, dodged a fireball again, took the opportunity to reach out and grab Anzumo's calf and drag it to his side, directly interrupting the third fireball he had not yet condensed.

He waved his long sword and stabbed his chest in the opposite direction, and then twisted it violently, leaving a shocking blood hole in his chest. Anzumo roared, and soon died.

Thorne, who got up, looked at the two demon souls that shrieked into his palm, and immediately met the several wasp demons that attacked him.

At the same time, Master Qingchen also took advantage of the situation to transform into a furious and violent bear. With the surging of divine magic, the body of the violent bear was raised again, and then roared and moved with a trembling sound. Limbs, pounced towards the strongest male tyrant.

The paladin Peo, who had taken out his long sword and shield long ago, was shrouded in holy light and shouted to meet another tyrant.

The Orc Juggernaut noticed that when he flapped two small leather wings and rushed towards a dragon beast, he immediately stopped his body and stood still with his sword in place.

Malvasa and Andrina, who were hiding at the door, began to prepare to attack spells with peace of mind, taking the lead in eliminating the most numerous and lowest-level Hornets.

Along with the magical missiles and scorching rays cast from the hands of the two spellcasters, the Hornet Demons, who were only at the third level, fell to the ground one after another, and were successfully compensated by the Fulong beasts hovering nearby.

At this time, the vicious bear transformed by Master Qingchen had already fought against the tyrannical demon. When the tyrannical demon flew high into the sky, waving the sharp trident in his hand and jumped down, launching the most deadly charge, the vicious bear's huge body did not move at all. , just slightly biased the vital parts.

"Pfft!"

In the dark natural cave, the sharp trident pierced directly into the back of the tyrannical bear under the powerful strength of the tyrant, and the tyrannical bear also roared, opened its **** mouth, and bit the thigh of the tyrant.

——“Desert Wind Sect (Strike Skill): Flame Wing Charge!”

——“Qi Qi Slash!”

Immediately afterwards, a raging fire appeared behind the Xiongba Demon, who was bitten by his thigh and unable to move, and then a sharp blade wrapped in an unmatched momentum slashed down the head of the Xiongba Demon with sharp horns.

When Thorne noticed that the just-dead tyrant turned into a screaming soul and disappeared into the palm of his hand, his expression changed suddenly.

Because his demon power has acquired the ability to "Summon Demons", he will summon demons every day during the cultivation time in Clarion Town and Waterfall Township to improve the progress of demon power. Demon and Xiongba Demon, just raised it to level 3.

So Thorne glanced at the wasp demon that was about to be cleaned up by the dragon beast and the two spellcasters, and the orc juggernaut opened a frenzy and attacked another bully demon together with the paladin, and quickly found an open space to start fighting the invasion of chaos will .
