Chapter 95: Corpse Nova
"Is this city our responsibility, though?" said Spybird "We can always run Set up base elsewhere The lives here, are they worth so much we lay down ours for them?"
"That calculus is always in my head If this city is too hard to defend, then I have no qualh inforeht," said Aldrich simply "I still haven't tested the full extent of my powers"
He put a clawed metal hand to the pointed chin of his metal helm "But how should I approach this battle, hh forces to cover all of it
That round, but if it gets constant air support fro it while worrying about an endless rain of lightning
Which means I should break this storo around individually Death Bolting every single jellyfish
I don't have the mana nor the time for that"
"My analysis is complete," said Volantis suddenly
"What?" said Aldrich
"When you utilized the [Eye of Farsight], I analyzed what you observed I have thoroughly seen the flow of energy fro pattern leading to an anchoring force at the center of this storm
Eliminate the center, then the entire forure that out with a single look?" said Aldrich
"Aed to be the ultihest of Battle Demons, often Battle Demon Princes, and their fondness for direct battle," said Volantis "Thus, each and every one of us forged with the highest level of Truesight
Granted, I have never found anyone worthy of donningin practice, but it is y flow"
"So that's how it is," said Aldrich
He knew fro Armor were, as Volantis said, supposed to be the demonic equipment of a specific type of demon called a Battle Demon
Battle Demons were fanatical devotees to the Demon God of War Carnasus, and they had a special racial ability where if they fought head on with pure martial honor with no sneak attacks or ambushes or even much of a plan other than a desire to do battle, then they received daenerative capability, and dahtforward, shly susceptible to sneak attacks, ambushes, and traps
Battle De the subject of such tricks, believing them incredible insults to their very way of existence
Thus, they forged de called Truesight which let the Armor and Battle Demons therefore had a syressivearher observational ability
In the lore, Truesight was said to be sight capable of reading the flow of all energies so well that nothing was ever hidden to it, though functionally it just revealed invisible units in the ga Arht out there, but there was no other class or ht active per Armor did
Aldrich was conditioned to think of Truesight as just so that revealed invisible units and traps, so he was temporarily surprised to see that it hadVolantis to read the flow of energy in living creatures exceptionally well, even those he should not have had any familiarity with
"Well then, looks like I have a plan," said Aldrich He looked back to Spybird "You're no longer needed here Staying here will just make you a hindrance to a complex while I settle this store in the air?" said Spybird
"[Stitching: Blood Dragon Wings]" said Volantis
The back of Aldrich's black arrown draconic wings The wings were bony white with glea red flaps, clawed at their tips in the case they needed to be used for offense
"Ah, I see, you can do that too Why am I even surprised at this point? You know, I see your powers and I in and end How many do you have? How do you have so many?" said Spybird
"A discussion for another ti in the air as Volantis operated his wings "Now go"
"Woaaaah!" Crow's six yellow eyes blinked before he shot away in a rush of wind, disappearing into a black blur as Spybird held on for dear life
"Was it a wise decision to leave your mount?" said Volantis "It seemed to me a forainst lightning," said Aldrich "And my barrier mostly covers myself I cannot extend its protection reliably over hie if he tried a frontal assault with et Spybird out After all, I promised Casimir that no more of his men would fall"
