Chapter 8: The Onslaught of Demons
Transformational-level demons
Hmm, Night Battle Heaven
The Brahmins are also categorized into different ranks. Such a large caravan has evidently hired quite competent Brahmins. Having a Brahmin's foresight can at least prepare the caravan adequately. If it were merely a typical solitary demon, it would not stand a chance against the escort team. However, what the Brahmins can sense must at least be of the traveling level, though the exact number remains unknown.
Aso continued to gaze at the spinning wheel, as if he had come to understand something once again
Well, you can do it
In order to prevent you from being ridiculed, I have decided to offer you free tutoring. Ye Zhan Tian is the foremost expert among the younger generation of the Boros, a super genius, do you understand? He is the genius among geniuses. Every young Boros aims to defeat him, and it is said that anyone who defeats him can learn one of the three great divine skills, the Heavenly Demon Technique.
Night Battle in the Sky, it seems you have heard of it before
Suddenly, Die Qiansuo also smiled; he finally understood. So this is how it is—a circle, a closed circle, yet also the most open. How interesting.
As soon as it landed on the ground, a tremendous tremor ensued, completely disregarding the soldiers who charged towards the center of the caravan; slaughter and destruction were its most primal pleasures
After the ascension of Lei Di Chi Shi Tian, the power of the Eight Spirit Masters has significantly diminished compared to the past. At their peak, the Eight Spirit Masters could even intervene in the appointments and dismissals of the Eight Heavenly Kings. However, their status has evidently declined a great deal now, although their influence remains deeply rooted. Even Chi Shi Tian cannot overlook their role.
Hearing his father's call, Audric patted Die Qiansuo's shoulder and said, "Don't run around, I've heard that this area is not very safe"
Once again, a giant shapeshifting demon descended from the sky, directly crashing down towards the center of the merchant convoy. One shapeshifting demon was already the limit for the convoy to handle; two were simply beyond their capability to deal with. Such a situation was extremely rare. Could it be that their luck had reached its absolute nadir?
The term "Brahmin" refers to the collective of servants of the Creator God Brahma. Their primary duties include prayer and bestowing blessings, while also utilizing their spiritual powers to sense demons and spirits. The highest leader among the Brahmins is the Qiling Master, one of the Eight Spirit Masters, who is responsible for various celebrations related to the Creator God Brahma in the Brahma Realm, serving as the supreme religious leader with a revered status
Arrived
Woodridge has returned. Although he has always yearned for battle, he is aware that his skills are only sufficient for delivering messages, and that engaging with demons is only something books can assist with. Every time he encounters a fight, he becomes extremely excited
Asso, one day I will become a formidable warrior, a warrior recognized by the great Garuda King
But do you know? This invincible genius has been defeated. I heard that the opponent is also a young person, very mysterious, very thrilling, and very exciting. Alas, if only I had been there, this unprecedented battle would surely have been spectacular
Little Qi, Master Fan senses a demonic presence nearby. Please inform the people behind to catch up, and if a battle occurs, instruct them not to panic
Little Qi, come here
Rest assured, leave it to me
The monk issued a warning signal, and the merchant convoy came to a halt. The experience of frequently traveling with merchant convoys in this regard was already quite ample. The warriors quickly gathered in the area with the strongest demonic energy, waiting for the appearance of the monsters. In fact, for the merchant convoy, the monsters were relatively manageable; the most terrifying were the bandits. Many times, humans were more frightening than the monsters.
Aldrich exaggeratedly pounded his chest and exclaimed, "Asso, I am certain you have come from the deep mountains, Night Battle Heaven, Night, Battle, Heaven!"
Woodridge clenched his fists and nervously stared at the soldiers ahead; if it weren't for his father forbidding him, he would have truly wanted to rush to the front.
With over three hundred people in the large trading group, there were also more than sixty soldiers responsible for security. Everyone was prepared, and those at the back quickly caught up. Important goods, along with the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, were concentrated in the middle. The pace of progress slowed considerably, but safety was the top priority
Aldrich's palms were sweaty with nervousness, while Asso beside him appeared somewhat impatient. He wanted to set off, but the caravan was not moving. At that moment, Asso looked up and noticed another one overhead
The warriors immediately divided into two teams; one part confronted the walking-level monsters, while the experts charged towards the giant demon. If it were to break into the merchant convoy, the cargo would be lost, rendering this journey a complete waste. As they were on the verge of reaching their destination, it was truly a situation that left them feeling utterly helpless.
Well, very good
Asso continued to gaze at the wheel; recently, he had developed a keen interest in the rotation of the wheel, as if those charming wheels wanted to convey a truth to him. However, he was rather dull and could never quite grasp it.
Seeing Asso nod, Aldrich sprang out of the car in a swift motion, his speed remarkable. This is a characteristic of the Garuda people; their totemic power is that of the phoenix, akin to the innate divine strength of the Mahoraga. The physical trait of the Garuda people is their agility.
The warriors ahead were on high alert, for they too sensed the presence of demonic power, a formidable force. A dark, cavernous void appeared in the sky, and the demons emerged!
The combat strength of the demons is considerable, but unfortunately, they are rather foolish and fight individually. In contrast, the Brahmins excel in collective attacks. However, just as the warriors charged forward, a massive demon emerged.
Zhi Shi Chi Shi Tian not only excels in leading troops in battle, but is also an expert in matters of control and balance
Looking up at the sky, Die Qiansuo furrowed her brow
The first to emerge were dozens of walking-level monsters, which are primarily energy-based and sustain themselves by devouring human flesh and bones. The warriors formed an offensive formation, and with a loud shout from the leading warrior, they charged forward together, as this level of threat was still not a match for them
A giant demon towering over ten meters, this type of demon has materialized and possesses terrifying offensive and defensive capabilities. Although this giant demon has low intelligence, its destructive power is exceedingly formidable
Asuo's hand kept drawing circles, and Aldridge could only helplessly shrug; this kid was beyond saving
The origin of the demons has been a subject of research for both the Brahmins and the denizens of the underworld. The prevailing view now is that they emerge from spatial rifts, which cannot be completely eradicated. The only course of action is to eliminate them as they appear. Although it is known that some illusions serve as gathering places for demons, attempts have been made to send armies for a decisive solution. However, it was discovered that the monsters within these illusions are far stronger than those that emerge. Moreover, these illusions belong to another world, and even the most valiant of the Yaksha clan can only adopt a defensive strategy when facing them. Despite the awareness of certain illusions being demon strongholds, previous military expeditions aimed at a permanent resolution have revealed that the creatures within these illusions are significantly more formidable than those that surface, and they exist in a separate realm, compelling even the fiercest Yaksha to resort to defense.
The giant monster was crashing down towards the heads of Aldrich and Asso, and Aldrich, pale-faced, stared at the creature above him, even forgetting the agility and speed that the Garuda clan relied on for survival
The monk is particularly sensitive to the aura of demons, and indeed it is growing increasingly intense. Generally speaking, as one approaches the territory of the Kinnaras, there should be few demons, after all, this is the royal city, and the warriors of the Kinnaras would not allow demons to tarnish the reputation of the City of Joy.
Once the attack fails, a frenzied shapeshifting demon is capable of destroying all the goods
Over the years, people have gradually become accustomed to the existence of demons and have also mastered some methods to deal with them
The warriors are quite experienced; when facing a giant demon, they cannot rely solely on brute strength but must flexibly target its vital points, typically the head. Several warriors at the Spirit Light level charged forward, continuously harassing the giant demon to impede its advance, while simultaneously providing opportunities for their companions to attack. The archers have already infused their arrows with spiritual energy, aiming for a lethal strike. They are also observing that the demon's spiritual power is most concentrated in its heart, the source of its power. Calmness is an essential quality for any archer. Meanwhile, they continue to provide opportunities for their companions to attack, with the archers focusing their spiritual energy into their arrows, striving for a decisive blow, while remaining vigilant to the fact that the demon's spiritual power is most concentrated in its heart, the source of its power. Calmness is an essential quality for any archer.
