522 Demonic spirit’s answer Part 1 (1/2)

Without the skeletal warhorses, Lex's warriors had changed their weapons as the bulky and long heavy weapons need not be used anymore. Even Wild Bear wielded the spear Saleen had crafted for him. With the warhammers and poleaxes put away, the warriors had only three weapons left; the Qin Eight-sided Sword, a short sword, and a miniature alchemical crossbow.

Bain had also appeared beside Lex and he stopped concealing himself. Wild Bear remained the pioneer paving the way while the two Black Metal Grand Swordmasters followed closely behind. The team was split into two groups as they walked forward along the city walls on the left side.

The city walls appeared to have a height of more than thirty meters. If these walls were installed in any other location, the city would be majestic. It was incongruent with the huge reputation of Lorga though. It must be noted that many of the creatures captured by humans were almost one-hundred meters tall. To such creatures, these city walls would only be a sill.

It was not known how long ago these walls were built, they were unlike those in the mainland cities now. There were neither horse roads nor reinforced slopes. After walking for about a mile, the team spotted a covered bridge. This bridge extended from a tall building on the right to the tip of the city. This wooden bridge seemed to have decayed, and there were only a dozen pillars underneath it.

”Stick to the left side,” Eleanor reminded. Holding onto a spear, Wild Bear followed Eleanor's instructions, walking through the left most pillar.

The scenery at the front immediately changed. This was a small square surrounded by short houses. Signboards hung from the houses facing the square. Their windows were also opened, supporting a row of stalls.

This was a vintage trading market, only Sikeqinya still had such places.

”Ha ha, how many years has it been, food has actually appeared!” A voice filled the air, it was echoing and annoying. This voice obviously originated from a mouth, but it was so booming that it made people cringe and have difficulty thinking. It was as if there were thousands of people chattering beside one's ears, even a mage would be unsettled listening to this sound.

”Who are you, show yourself!” Wild Bear waved his spear, his eyes darting to the left and right. He couldn't understand the ancient language it spoke.

”Right here.” The strange voice changed to the Myers language. From a magic array at the center of the square, a colossal shadow emerged.

Wild Bear raised his head, feeling depressed as he saw an enormous figure. Of late, the monsters he ran into were always much bigger than him causing his build to appear extremely frail.

This was a classic demon-type creature. The horns atop its head were well-proportioned while the skin of the face was blue with natural magic patterns. This creature was about three meters tall with a thick tail behind it. A gigantic image of a grimace was naturally generated on its naked torso.

”A Mendel Supreme Demon?”

Lex's mind went into a flurry, the first guard was actually a supreme demon. This spelled big trouble. Demons were cunning, while supreme demons possessed tremendous powers. This obstacle was too onerous already.

Letting out a squeal, Nailisi laughed. She leaned in close and whispered into Saleen's ear, ”This is an illusory demonic spirit, he is even weaker than an imp. He is not using the Ultimate Shapeshifting Skill. If you were trained to a sorcerer's standard, you would be able to see through the façade using your own eyes.”

”Why do I feel that this illusory demonic spirit is more like a death creature?” After coming into contact with many spirits, Saleen was very sensitive to the scent of a spirit, and this illusory demonic spirit made him detect the intense scent of death.

”Master, there are many types of demonic spirits, but they do not live for long. The longest only lives about eight-hundred years. This city was built thousands of years ago though...”

”Mm, it seems like the goddess used a method to prevent their souls from dispersing so that they can still preserve their original appearance and skills.”

Noticing Saleen and Nailisi whispering to each other, Lex let out a cough.

That illusory demonic spirit was still trying to scare Wild Bear. ”Human, are you planning to sacrifice your body, or your soul?”

Sika was already very impatient. An illusory demonic spirit might deceive a mage, but it could not trick a Caucasus priest like her. The abilities of this demonic spirit was too inferior to hers, and she could not be bothered to take any action. Thus, she yelled at Wild Bear, ”Big guy, this fellow is cheating you, hurry up and take him out so that you can ask for directions.”

Hmm? At this point in time, Wild Bear then felt that something was amiss. This big fellow might be imposing and had exerted effective psychological pressure on Wild Bear, but after blabbering for a long time, he still had not taken any action.

Wild Bear was fixated on the thought of himself being a chef, but his combat instincts were really sharp. He could not possibly have advanced to a high grade swordmaster after a short training by Lex otherwise. Such progress was not only dependent on a good teacher, the student had to be very gifted too.

The moment Wild Bear heard Sika's reminder, he immediately swiped his spear, perfectly displaying that technique of controlling the Sword Aura which he had learned from Jola. The Sword Aura had gathered at the tip of the spear, but it was not released. Instead, it could produce even sharper cries in the wind.

The attack speed was not high because the swiping technique was employed. The strongest attack of a spear was of course a straight stab.

To a pugilist, swordsmanship was the highest level skill. Swordsmanship was in fact derived from spear techniques though. The chops and swipes of a longsword were all inferior to the power of a spear.

Even if a wooden spear was used, the force from the accumulated power was also really great. That illusory demonic spirit moved about swiftly. Wild Bear intentionally slowed down his attack, and the demonic spirit avoided it effortlessly.
