Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 286 Encountering the Devil
In the dim hall, only the soft light of the Illuminati technique flickered slightly under the shadow of Tiamat's sculpture, reflecting the figures of everyone.

The paladin Peotti stepped forward, looking at the gorgeous granite reliefs on the stone gate in front of him, and all kinds of dragon-shaped creatures that were depicted vividly.

In the end, he fixed his eyes on a circle about half a meter in diameter drawn by a dark red tile, because the circle was engraved with mysterious runes that circulated spiritual light by dragon claws.

In the expectant eyes of everyone, the paladin Peo raised his sword above his head, and when he was about to slash down, he suddenly paused, and then turned to look at the ranger behind him:
"Mr. Thorn, I slowed down on purpose, why don't you remind me, is there any trap here?"

"...There is no trap this time, you can open it with confidence." Thorn was startled, glanced at the dragonborn who suddenly learned to be smart and said.

"Really?" Although the paladin Peo was puzzled as to why the opponent was so sure that there was no trap, he still followed the method of the goblin wizard.

"boom!"

Accompanied by the soft sound of a sharp blade colliding with the granite relief, the mysterious runes in the circle were shattered by the paladin, and the flowing aura instantly dissipated in the cold air.

"Okay, you can just push the stone door open." Malvisa who was standing behind noticed the paladin's gaze and said.

"Mr. Thorne, are there any traps this time?" The paladin who received the news turned his attention to Thorne again and asked.

"Probably...not." Thorne looked at the cautious paladin and replied uncertainly.

"No problem, you can just push it away." Malvisa saw the ink-stained paladin and gave him a reassurance with a smile.

"Okay!" The paladin Peo responded happily, then with his eyes narrowed, he slowly pushed the stone door open with all his strength.

"It's a study room." Thorn, who walked into the room first, looked at the stone bookshelves that were lying upside down inside, and the books that looked like garbage.

"Come on, these books have become useless in the fleeting time."

Malvisa glanced at the crowd, and used her magical hand to float a relatively intact book, but just as she stretched out her little hand to touch it, it immediately turned into a pile of debris.

Then everyone walked towards another house along a passage cleared from the pile of books.

In another spacious room that seems to be carved by nature, under the faint fluorescent light, it can be found that the walls and roof are full of glowing fungi, toadstools, mushrooms, lichens and other plants, as well as some coral-like plants. Lower animals, as well as some other indistinguishable hideous figures.

In the deepest part of the room, there is a lavender disc with a dim light and a diameter of about five meters, which can be recognized at a glance as a device similar to a portal.

Thorne stared at the indistinguishable creatures that had started to raise their heads, flap their wings, and clenched their weapons. He was taken aback, and immediately thought of a good solution.

So he first gently pushed Anderina who was beside him back, signaling her to back off.

Then he moved his hand to the hilt of the sword without a trace, suppressing the floating aura of the trembling sword, and walked towards those hideous creatures.

Although a dozen or so indistinguishable creatures appeared not far away, Thorne took a closer look and found that they must be devils from Bator Hell.

The first thing that catches the eye is a dark, wasp-like devil with small antennae on its head, its face looks like a human woman, its jaw is like a straw, and it also has a carapace-like skin and a pair of black insect wings. The end of its body is long. With a venomous stinger.

The number of such devil creatures is the largest, with a total of ten.

Immediately afterwards, there was a short, thick, black bat-winged devil with an oversized and elongated head, small pig-like eyes, a pug-like nose, and a big mouth full of fangs. The number of such devils is two in the whole room.

The last two are also the two with the strongest physique.

This kind of devil is about four meters tall. Apart from a pair of sharp horns on its head and two arms thicker than its thighs, it also has a pair of wide black bat wings behind it, dragging a slender tail.

"It turned out to be the Hornet Demon, Anzu Demon, and Xiongba Demon." Malvisa at the door noticed Thorn who was coming up and the demon slowly floating up, and immediately recognized the names of these three demons.

Looking at Thorne's figure in front of her, Malvisa's mind immediately showed the basic information of the devil.

"Small mortal, stop your ignorant footsteps." Just as Thorn slowly approached the devil, an Anzu roared and roared.

"A group of idiots! I followed the guidance of the Dragon Queen and came here specially to open the portal to Bartor's Hell. Get out of here!" Thorn yelled, looking at the demons floating in midair.

After finishing speaking, he directly pressed his hand to the hilt of the sword, as if as long as these devils dared to block it, the sharp blade would come out of its sheath at any time.

"So that's it, this little guy's mind is quite clever." Seeing Thorne pretending to scold the devil, Malvisa whispered to herself, after all, she really knew the devil very well.

These demons from Baator Hell, an evil and lawful country, although they advocate violence and have evil and cruel temperaments, but their social hierarchy is strict and the class division is very strict, which makes them have to think carefully when they hear about Dragon Queen .

"A messenger sent by the Dragon Queen?" An Zumo looked at the half-elf not far away, and then at the figures of his companions at the door, a trance flashed in his vicious eyes.

When Thorne revealed that he was on the orders of the evil dragon god Tiamat, the evil demon hesitated.

Because their mission is to guard the gate of another world that was desperately sealed by the dragon-born wizards, and wait for the Dragon Queen to send someone to reopen it again.

However, they have stayed here for an unknown number of years, and they have not waited for the envoy who came to liberate them.Now that a person came suddenly, they were a little at a loss.

Seeing the hesitant devils, Thorne secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because he knew he had guessed right, and these devils were here to guard the gate to another world.

The reason why this portal has never been reopened is probably because the believers of Tiamat have never found the city ruins hidden here.

"Get out of here quickly! Can you idiots afford to ruin the Dragon Queen's plan?" Noticing the demons who hadn't moved, Thorn yelled again.

The dazed devils looked at each other, and immediately flapped their black bat wings to obediently make way for Thorne.

"No! The one with the lizard head is a paladin, they are not messengers sent by the Dragon Queen! They are here to destroy the portal!"

Suddenly, an Anzu demon seemed to sense something, suddenly found that the paladin Peo was exuding an uncomfortable aura, and immediately roared.

——"Scary momentum!"

Thorn, whose identity was exposed, had already reached a group of more than a dozen demons, so he instantly drew out his long sword to slay the demons, and activated the special ability attached to his background expertise.

Under the guidance of the long sword to kill the demon, an invisible killing breath, mixed with the "immortal evil" characteristic of the demon, burst out a powerful aura, like screams of demons, fiercely towards the Thorne was surrounded by all the demons, impacting their hearts.

Immediately, the figures of these demons floating in the air suddenly froze, and they fell towards the ground like dumplings.

"Kill the two smallest ones first!" Thorne, who was about to attack, suddenly heard Malvisa's reminder.

So he immediately swung his long sword and mercilessly slashed at the Anzu Demon who had just recovered and was about to fly again.

Two scorching sword lights flashed across like lightning. One Anzu was decapitated and died immediately. The other Anzu, who dodged in time, had a bat wing chopped off by Thorne and fell to the ground again.

Just as Thorne was about to continue the pursuit, the Anzu Demon immediately condensed a dark red fireball and roared towards him.

Thorn leaned over and rushed, avoiding the high temperature of the fireball whizzing by, and at the same time approached the Anzu Demon.

Then he rolled on the spot, dodged another fireball, took the opportunity to reach out and grab Anzumo's calf, and dragged it to his side, directly interrupting the third fireball he hadn't condensed yet.

And swinging the long sword along the way, pierced his chest, and then twisted violently, leaving a shocking blood hole in his chest. An Zumo roared, and soon died.

Thorn got up and looked at the two devil souls that sank into his palm with a scream, and immediately met the several hornet demons that attacked him.

At the same time, Master Qingchen also took advantage of the situation to transform into a furious ferocious bear. Accompanied by bursts of magical aura surges, the ferocious bear's body was raised again, and then roared, moving with a trembling sound. With all four limbs, they rushed towards the strongest male Bamo.

The paladin Peo, who had already drawn out his long sword and shield and was ready to fight, shouted under the shroud of the holy light, and greeted another bully demon.

When the orc sword master noticed the Fulong beast flapping its two small leather wings and rushing towards a hornet demon, he immediately stopped himself, raised his sword and stood still.

Malvisa and Andrina, who were hiding at the door, began to prepare for attacking spells with peace of mind, taking the lead in eliminating the Hornet with the largest number and the lowest level.

Accompanied by the magic missiles and scorching rays cast from the hands of the two spellcasters, these Hornets, who were only level three, fell to the ground one after another, and were successfully repaired by the crouching dragon wandering nearby.

At this time, Master Qingchen's transformed ferocious bear had already fought with the bully demon. When the bully demon flew high into the sky waving the sharp trident in his hand and jumped down, launching the deadliest charge, the huge body of the dire bear didn't move at all. , just slightly deflecting the vital parts.

"Pfft!"

In the dark natural cave, the sharp trident, supported by the powerful power of Xiongbamo, pierced directly into the back of the Dire Bear, and the dire bear also took advantage of this to roar, opened its bloody mouth, and bit the thigh of Xiongbamo.

——"Desert Wind Faction (Strike Skill): Flame Wing Charge!"

——"Lifting Qi and Slashing!"

Immediately afterwards, a turbulent flame appeared behind the Xiongbamo whose thigh was bitten and could not move, and then a sharp blade wrapped in an unrivaled momentum cut off the Xiongbamo's head with ferocious sharp horns.

When Thorne noticed that the just-dead Heroic Demon had submerged into his palm as a screaming soul, his expression changed suddenly.

Because his demonic power acquired the ability of "summoning demons", he would summon demons every day during his practice in Bugle Town and Pushang Town, increasing the progress of demonic power, with Anzu who beheaded the entity today Demon and Xiongba Demon just raised it to level 3.

So Thorn glanced at the Hornet that was about to be cleaned up by the Volcano and the two spellcasters, and the orc swordsman turned on the berserk and joined the paladin to pinch the other Tyrannosaurus, and quickly found an open space to fight against the invasion of chaotic will .
