Chapter 295: Scent (2/2)

In the end, Zyllee was still a veteran of the battlefield. While it was clever to use a body to cover an attack, it was also inevitable that said attack would be slowed after passing through such an obstacle. This gave Zyllee plenty of time to react.

The hawk-nosed demon dove out of the way of the corpse, rolling along the ground before propping himself up on a knee. Without even standing up, he was already prepared to fire an arrow.

Unfortunately…

BANG!

The corpse exploded. A ran of metallic shrapnel barraged the #19 Demon Lord.

Zyllee had focused his entire being on aiming his first shot. He had thought that Leonel's attack was finished the moment the corpse fell and didn't even bother to move away from it. Little did he know that the corpse that fell by his feet would be the true attack.

An entire side of Zyllee's face was bombarded by shrapnel, causing his already unpleasant features to become even more ghastly.

Zyllee's vision swam. He could already feel his consciousness slipping away as his body bled out.

He never even got the chance to hit the ground when an arrow shot through his forehead.

'… You couldn't have at least… checked if I was dead first…?'

Zyllee died with grievances. Though he had been hurt by the initial strike, it hadn't been to the point of dying so soon. He was severely injured, but as a demon, he could have fought another round or two before his life truly slipped away.

Who could have expected that Leonel wouldn't even speak a word before sealing his fate completely? Any thoughts he had of luring Leonel into a false sense of security before counter attacking was completely disregarded as his eyes grew dull.

…

At that moment, another Demon was slowly exploring the castle, trying to find exactly where Leonel was hiding.

His steps paused, his large body becoming frighteningly still.

His nose tilted up into the air, a large pair of fiery red nostrils taking a deep breath.

'Blood…'

The demon's eyes narrowed.

It could be said that Leonel's means were quite clever.

Taking advantage of the fact his enemies didn't enter at the same time, he used a few illusions of the eyes and senses to separate them and deal with them one by one.

He managed to isolate sight, hearing and Internal Sight. However… he didn't manage to do so with scent.

It wasn't necessarily Leonel's fault. A human wouldn't be able to pick up the scent of blood from so far away. In fact, not all demons had a strong sense of smell either.

But… it just so happened that Umred did.
