Forest of Poisonous Mist.

“Look!” Joseph stared at the area where he could see the black figure. This was a piece of marshland, and the footprints could be seen clearly etched on the soft ground.

Link walked forward at observed for a moment before saying, “The size of the footprint is around one-foot-long and half a foot deep. It looks like a demon that stands on two feet upright. Its steps are extremely wide. It can cover a distance of nine feet in a step. I predict that this demon is at least nine feet tall and weighs 1540 pounds. It is extremely strong!”

He then circled the area and quickly found more information, “There is a hint of potassium nitrate and sulfur in the air. Looking at this footprint, I would suppose that this demon could not control its power after the sudden change in geography in this area. The area around the footprint shows signs of being charred. If I’m not wrong, this is a Fodor Flaming Demon. It is around Level-7 in strength.”

Fodor Flaming Demon

High-level Demon

Description: This demon controls the power of the demonic flame. It uses two flaming machetes as its weapons. Usually, this demon will be above Level-6 in strength. Adult Fodor Flaming Demons can reach Level-7 in strength. Once they become of age, their flames and sword techniques will strike fear into even the bravest of Warriors!

(Note: The perfect fire Warrior)

The moment everyone heard Link’s voice, their face was consumed by an expression of horror. Milda then sighed, “It seems like those high-level demons are really here to help Wavier.”

Link stood up and cleaned the dirt on his hand from his inspection of the footprints. He then said, “It is something within expectations. Joseph, from now onwards, we will be facing consecutive waves of Undead Warriors and demons. Prepare the Sacred Silver.”

Due to its effectiveness against ghouls, the recipe to create Sacred Silver was now widely circulated. The church naturally got hold of this recipe and even made many adjustments to improve its effectiveness. The Sacred Silver in their hands now were at least 50% stronger than Link’s original version.

“I understand.”

Joseph took out a bottle and started pouring the liquid Sacred Silver into a special groove made in their swords. This way, as long as a sword of the Holy Knights come into contact with the opponent, Sacred Silver would be injected into their bodies.

The other Holy Knights also did the same.

Link then told Nana, “From now onwards, as long as you detect the presence of any demons, eliminate them!”

“I understand, Master!”

Clang! With a light metallic sound, Nana took out her two epic quality daggers. The two daggers were extremely aesthetic, especially the Last Nightmare. The moment it appeared, air ripples appeared around Nana, which was a testament to the dagger’s power. This made Nana looked extremely intimidating.

Romilson and Milda were completely amazed at the two daggers. It was the first time they were seeing the true form of this two Epic daggers. They could not help but exclaim softly.

Romilson said in disbelief, “Where did these two weapons come from? Why have I not seen records of them?”

How could two such high-quality weapons that even impressed the High Elves not be written down in the annals of history?

Milda was a few steps ahead of Romilson and asked, “Link, you made them recently?”

Link then nodded his head in agreement and said, “It took me a lot of energy to craft them. There is even some luck involved. If I were to do it again, I might not be able to craft something of this caliber anymore.

Although Link was trying to be humble, it somehow made the High Elves feel bitter.

Joseph, on the other hand, did not feel impressed by the daggers. He merely felt that they were extremely beautiful and elegant. Nana also looked strong wielding them, which would be helpful in their future battles.

“Let’s go; time is tight.” He then probed the rest to move forward.

Everyone followed tightly behind him. After ten minutes, they realized that something is amiss.

“I think we have come back to our previous position. Look, this was where we walked,” Joseph pointed at a cork that was wrapped in aluminum foil on the ground. It was the exact thing that they threw while drinking their potions. The surrounding environment looked extremely familiar as well. As they looked to their side, the footprint left by the Fodor Flaming Demon laid right there.

Romilson then snickered as he said, “It is definitely the work of a Light Illusion spell. Simple, I will breakthrough it using a Guiding Light spell!”

He then raised his wand and charged it with Mana. An emerald concentrated light beam then shot out from his wand, extending into the distance.

The moment this light beam appeared, Romilson’s face sunk.

The reason was simple. If it was an illusion caused by the Light illusion spell, the light beam should appear bent and wavy. Based on the property of light, they merely had to follow this curved line of light to navigate out of this area.

However, the emerald light was shining in a straight line. This suggests that their area was not affected by Light Illusion spell. However, they had also returned back to their starting point even after walking in a straight line…Romilson could not explain this.

Things were getting complicated.

Milda thought for a moment before saying, “I’m afraid that light is not the thing that was distorted in this area. It is the space. This is probably a demon god spell that Wavier cast to protect himself…Link, what do you think?”

She could not depend on the Holy Knights for such intellectually intensive work, and Romilson had already been defeated by this trick. Furthermore, Link was the only one who had done intensive research into Spatial Magic. He was the only one Milda could turn to.

In fact, the moment Link realized that they had returned to the same point. He immediately started walking around to observe his surroundings. He also cast a few spells to test the waters.

When Milda posted him the question, he was still doing his tests.

After five minutes, he walked back and said, “The space of this area is indeed distorted. However, the curvature is extremely small, making it difficult for us to detect. There are still tests that we can do to determine this. Look.”

A silver ball then appeared in Link’s hand, as he used the vector field spell to fling the ball upwards. As the ball started rising, it traveled in a straight line. However, upon reaching a height above 15 feet, it’s trajectory started experiencing abnormal bending.

“The distortion of space is definitely accompanied by a forcefield. This forcefield has little to no effect on light beams. That was why when Romilson shot that beam of light, it still maintained a straight line. However, this forcefield will have an effect on tangible matter that is sufficiently weighted, especially when they are traveling at high speed. The forcefield will cause its trajectory to change.”

As Link spoke, he used the Magician’s Hand to retrieve his silver ball. He then used his wand to draw a few ridiculous lines and runes in the air, as though he were calculating something.
