Chương 125: The Demon Race's Brains Are Definitely Problematic

The black fog dissipated on its own without wind.

It instantly spread towards where everyone was.

The fog was extremely eerie; all the shrubs and flowers it touched withered.

Xia En was startled.

This fog is poisonous!

"run."

Xia En gave a soft shout.

He decisively picked up Frilian, hoisted her onto his shoulder, and activated [Speed] to move away from the fog.

The others reacted just as quickly.

At the same moment Shain made his judgment, Philon grabbed Zain, flew into the air, and fled at high speed. Shutark also carried the unconscious armored boy and began to run wildly.

This is a tacit understanding that everyone has developed over the past few adventures.

Frillie perched on Shane's shoulder, bobbing and swaying with his movements, narrowly escaping the pursuit of the black mist.

At the same time, she was also observing the demon mage.

The deputy commander of [Bloodstained War God Livale]?

[Plague Mage Vega]?

I don't think I've ever heard of it.

However, judging from the fact that the other party recognized him but remained confident, their strength must be considerable.

Frillian did not underestimate her. She carefully observed her opponent's actions, trying to find out his attack patterns and magical weaknesses.

Seeing that the mist attack was dodged, [Vega] was not too surprised. He immediately manipulated the mist to shrink back to his side, wrapping himself up into a huge black mist ball.

The giant black mist sphere rolled forward, chasing after Shane and Shutark who were running.

In the air, Philon and Zain watched the accelerating black ball with anxiety in their hearts.

"Mr. Zain, is there any way to stop it?"

Zain, suspended in mid-air, barely managed to pull out the Holy Scripture and unfold it to the Chapter of the Great Fire of Judgment. Immediately, the pages emitted light, and three golden light swords shot out from the book.

It is a commonly used attack spell by monks called "Goddess's Three Spears".

The lightsaber drew three graceful arcs in the air before shooting towards the black sphere on the ground.

laugh- The attack landed on the black ball, but it disappeared without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

"This... seems impossible to aim at..."

Upon hearing this, Philon frowned.

The fact that the opponent is hidden in the black mist and cannot be aimed at means that it is impossible to attack accurately.

Because of the attack from the air, several arrows formed from black mist were shot out from the black sphere and retaliated against the two.

The two barely managed to dodge, and after regaining their footing, Zain's voice was filled with worry: "This won't do, your magic will run out soon."

On the ground, noticing that Philen was under attack, Shane decisively changed his strategy, "Shutark, split up and run."

The boy was very obedient and quickly turned to the left while carrying the wounded soldier.

Xia En turned to the right in tacit agreement.

The black mist paused for a moment, then decisively chased after the right side where Frilian was.

Seeing this, Philon quickly flew towards Shutark with Zain. The injured boy had already lost too much blood, and she didn't know if he could survive this ordeal. She had to take the monk there.

At the same time, her gaze swept towards the direction where the black mist had left, and a faint sense of worry crept into her heart.

Please don't get hurt!

Seeing the black mist chasing after him and Frilian, Shane breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shane, the distance is enough."

Upon hearing Frillie's reminder, Shane promptly slammed on the brakes.

After landing, Frilian extended her staff and unleashed a fully charged attack spell, a thick beam of light shooting out that instantly covered the entire black sphere.

The black ball was hit and immediately engulfed in blinding light.

A moment later, the smoke and dust stirred up by the magic dissipated, the black sphere disappeared, leaving only a semi-circular black shield standing in place.

【Plague Mage Vega】hid behind his shield and was not attacked.

The black shield dissipated into mist again, then transformed into several enormous black flying swords that shot towards Frilian and Shane.

With a swish, Frilian unleashed her [Defense Magic], successfully blocking the flying sword.

However, the moment the flying sword made contact with the [Magic Shield], it dissipated into mist, cunningly enveloping Frilian behind it.

Shane grabbed Frillie and launched [Shadow Kill] to ambush her from the side.

Bang bang bang— The flying sword chased after Xia En, crashing into the ground and turning into mist, instantly killing the flowers and plants in its path.

Frillie's tone became somewhat cautious.

"There's something strange about this fog."

Xia En nodded.

He could tell that the other party was probably a mage who specialized in cultivating this kind of mist.

"Haha, have we been found out?"

The short demon mage stepped forward, waving his bone staff with a smug air. Black mist swirled around him, forming a spiral that enveloped him.

"I love magic."

"Just like that corrupt sage Guval, who spent most of his life developing murder magic, I have also researched my own magic in my long life."

"Isn't it amazing? I've named it 'Plague Mist'."

"No matter how powerful a warrior or how clever a mage, anyone who touches this [Plague Mist] will instantly be cursed and suffer unspeakable pain. This pain will flow through their blood throughout their body, driving them to madness."

"You saw the pitiful state of that boy, didn't you? He was also a man of strong character, who dared to cut off his own arm to resist the spread of the plague and try to save himself."

As he spoke, the demon mage controlled the mist spiraling around him, transforming it into a smooth steel wire, the tip of which pointed directly at Shane and Frilian.

"Learn from his mistake. When I attack you later, I'll go straight for your heads. This time, you won't have a chance to escape."

Xia En smiled.

To be honest, sometimes it's actually kind of cute that villains talk a lot.

If the other party hadn't been so persistent, he and Frilian might not have been able to gather enough information to launch a counterattack in such a short time.

Now look what's happened, the other side has just self-destructed.

That really saves a lot of trouble.

Even the methods of attack that followed were directly revealed, a frankness that was heartbreaking.

The demon race never hesitates to flaunt their power.

This is the lesson that Vlamé taught Frilian, and it is also what Frilian taught him.

"As expected, all demons have something wrong with their brains."

Vega: "————"

"Do you keep your word?"

Faced with Xia En's sudden taunt, the short demon mage's smug expression froze.

"Almost dead, you still want to spout off?"

As he spoke, the black mist, solidified into steel wire-like strands, suddenly stabbed towards Xia En's head.

Seeing this, Xia En breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as you keep your word, that's fine.

He shielded Frilian behind him, gripped his longsword tightly, and accepted the attack without flinching or dodging.

boom- With a loud bang, the steel wire pierced the center of Xia En's forehead, sending sparks flying. Then, the wire grazed Xia En's forehead and inexplicably pierced a nearby tree.

There wasn't a single scar on Xia En's forehead.

The combination of the "Iron Head" attribute and the "Deflection Field" attribute on the longsword allowed him to perfectly evade the attack without taking any damage.

However, at the very moment he was attacked, blood suddenly appeared on the forehead of the Plague Mage Vega.

Immediately afterwards, the short figure suddenly fell to the ground and began to writhe in pain.

The entry "[Return to Owner]" is now in effect.

The attack of the Plague Fog will be returned 100%.
