Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 93 The Convinced Shadow Demon

Aiwass was already prepared.

He's not really disabled.At this distance, the grotesque who acts instinctively will definitely attack itself first.

It was basically impossible for him to hit the Muglimb—with its reflexes, he could easily dodge it even if he shot at it.How could Aiwass, who had never learned swordsmanship, hit it?
The grotesque is immune to curses, so the violent cough enchanted on the "Noble Red" ring is also ineffective against it; it is basically immune to laws, and its speed is too fast, and it is difficult for lawmen to catch it; it is also immune to petrification, so Lady Maya's Amber Fire doesn't work on it either.

But even if the Shadow Demon is not exposed, Aiwass has already thought of how to deal with it.

When he made up his mind, a golden-red glow ignited at the bottom of his pupils, and he lightly pressed his left hand on the holy sword.

Isabel, who was hiding in the corner, saw this scene, her pupils shrank suddenly.

——It’s really Mr. Fox!

She stretched out her right hand subconsciously, and the voice was about to blurt out——

But the next moment, Isabel's mind went blank.

Aiwass, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was pierced through his chest by a deformed limb with his right hand becoming extremely long and narrow!

His wheelchair rolled backwards, hit Lily and bounced back.Caught off guard, Lily was directly knocked out by the wheelchair, but what really paralyzed her was what she saw...the sharp claws piercing out from Aiwass' back.

But Aiwass did not die.

Because long before he was attacked, he used the flame on his holy sword as a medium to start using the method of "sacrificing fire"!
Therefore, the moment he was attacked by the grotesque, he recovered part of his wounds.

Bishop Meiya recognized it immediately—this is a technique only mastered by priests who are proficient in combat, pre-healing!

Before your teammates or yourself are injured, prepare for the treatment in advance - complete the treatment at the moment of the injury, thereby minimizing the impact of the attack.No fainting from the shock, no suspension of thinking from the sharp pain.From the appearance, it looks like it has stood up to the attack.

This technique requires no special training, only the ability to predict the behavior of the enemy.

And Aiwass really knows the grotesques too well - he even used the body of grotesques in the advanced ceremony.The demon scholar who contracted the grotesque, his proficiency in grotesques is not as high as that of Aiwass.

After he realized that he would definitely eat an attack from the Muscle's body after he cut off the Muscle's substitute with a sword, he decided to simply use his body as a trap to trick the opponent into attacking.

This subconscious act conforms to the principles of the path of transcendence and devotion at the same time.Aiwass felt that the power of the way was continuously pouring into his body, constantly strengthening his perception, willpower and vitality.

After using the pre-healing to resist the inevitable blow and stay awake as he expected, Aiwass knew that he had won——

He immediately pressed his left hand, which had been cut by the holy sword, on the grotesque's arm.Just touching the blade, his palm was cut open and blood flowed out.He who is using the fire sacrificial method happens not to be burnt by the flames and cause the wound to be scorched.

Just like every person who was pierced through the chest by the Mutual Limb and struggled helplessly... in vain holding down his wound and the Muscle Mutant's arm, hoping that it would not come out.But in the end it's just wishful thinking.

But only Aiwass is different.

The moment his wounded and bleeding left hand pressed the Muscle's arm, the Muscle's aggression dropped sharply.

That is the aura of "shepherding" that is burned by the holy fire and stimulated for a short time!

Although Aiwass is now uneven in the depth of the dual paths, so he cannot correctly guide the art of shepherding.But the sanctified smell of flesh and blood is like honey to phantoms—a grotesque whose intelligence is especially meager and who acts on instinct can't tell the difference at all.

When he realized that the human beings in front of him were not enemies, but shepherds who bestowed strength and flesh and blood, the hatred for healthy people and the demon's instinctive desire for promotion had a brief conflict.

The freak's mind froze for a moment, and he stopped in place.

But after all, the shepherding has not been completed - and even if it is completed, it is impossible to directly control the powerful deformity.This can only make it stunned for a moment.

But when it was hesitating, Aiwass swung the holy sword again without hesitation, and easily cut off its second arm!
The Grotesque let out a shrill and furious howl—the pain made it finally wake up, and it no longer hesitated about "attacking Aiwass".Every limb is a part of its strength and essence, and it can also be regarded as its life.Even cutting off its head can't stop it, only by destroying its six limbs can it temporarily dissipate.

But Aiwass bought enough time.

"--demon!!"

When the Muscle was rolling all over the ground in pain, Gordon, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, roared and charged, and with a shoulder bump, the Muscle slammed away from Aiwass!
At this moment, it was only a few seconds before Bishop Meiya issued a warning.

Edward chose to believe her words.Because Aiwass' situation is not optimistic.

Edward, who was standing on the first floor, immediately drew a pistol from his waist, and pointed it at the middle-aged man who was wrapped in chains on the second floor.

Seeing him raising his gun at such a distance, someone beside him panicked: "Inspector Edward..."

"—Shut up." Edward responded coldly.

He didn't want to listen to what the person next to him wanted to say, and he didn't even have the thought of looking back.

"The law gives me the right to shoot."

Edward muttered, then pulled the trigger.

I saw a beam of silver light emanating from the muzzle of the gun, instantly engulfing the middle-aged man's head!

There was no blood spattered, nor any broken bones or flesh.When the light dissipated, the man's head even looked intact, except for a thumb-sized black spot in the center of his forehead.

For it was his soul that was crushed.This ensures that the person has no means of emergency escape or reincarnation.

And at the moment when the man was killed, large swathes of flowing black runes suddenly appeared on the freak's abnormally white skin.

They flowed from the grotesque's chest to its limbs, and the black runes that gathered turned into nothingness.In this way, the grotesque gradually began to disintegrate and disappear from the end.The arm that was originally inserted into Aiwass's chest also suddenly disintegrated and disappeared.Aiwass, who kept using the method of sacrificial fire, immediately used a lot of mana to heal the wound.

The freak stared at Aiwass, and roared with unknown meaning.

It suddenly exploded with great force—even though the Groptor had been weakened by Aiwass for two rounds, its desperate and frantic attack still put the already old Gordon into a state of crisis in an instant.

——For some reason, it seemed to be trying everything to get close to Aiwass.

And Gordon's armor, which was originally shining with bright silver light, was now tattered, dim, and full of depressions.But he still stood firmly in front of Aiwass, resolutely holding back the attack of the Grops.

The furious Gropt realized it couldn't break through here, so it attacked Gordon with all its might.With the ends of its limbs turned into nothingness, it whipped Gordon frantically with its deformed long-whip-like arms, and Gordon's helmet had been blown out long before.

"Gordon, get out of the way!"

Seeing that Gordon was about to fall into a state of crisis, Aiwass' voice suddenly came from behind him.

With his back to Aiwass, Gordon could see nothing at all.His field of vision was completely covered in blood, and his brain was buzzing and spinning from repeated heavy blows.It was only because of the strengthening of the body by the power of Dao that his head was not blown.

But he still subconsciously chose to obey Aiwass' order.

Perhaps it was because he didn't call himself "Director" or "Sir", which made Gordon, whose consciousness was already a little fuzzy, recall the memory of being ordered by the chief when he was in the army...

He tried his best to parry the attack, held the blood-soaked and damaged sword blade in front of his eyes, maintained a posture of watching the freak, and slid backwards.

Just for a moment - from the back of his side, a scorching flame whizzed past.

Although Gordon was wearing armor, most of the sweat that oozed from the back of his neck due to the fierce battle was dried almost instantly.His right ear was blown by scorching flame waves, and the hot wind scorched his ear canal so painfully.

It was like a crescent moon, showing an arc-shaped golden sword aura.

It shone with a searing glow, and twisted air steamed around it.Only the tail has a faint red flame.

——It was a decisive blow that unleashed the magic power injected into the holy sword in one go.

Normally, it would not be able to hit the freak.But at this time, most of the limbs of the Mutant Limb had disappeared, so it could not re-transform its body, nor could it dodge... It was completely penetrated from the middle, and what burst out was not even blood, but a large number of sparks.

The remaining arms of the Grotesque were finally completely burned by the holy fire when they were about to be expelled.

And there was still a small half of the fire light that had lost the shape of the arc moon, and it hit the magic wall full of tentacles.

But even so, the [evil warding] characteristic of the holy weapon level has already caused it to cause huge damage to the magic wall.The moment the holy fire touched the magic wall, it instantly spread in all directions like a flame burning a spider's web.With a whistling sound, those ferocious tentacles of flesh and blood that covered the entire club were burnt to ashes in an instant from that point as the center, which was extremely visually impactful.

In the eyes of everyone, under the light of the evening light outside the window, the extinguished red sword in Aiwass' hand gradually blurred and dissipated, turning into a huge crimson key.

Aiwass, whose chest was completely pierced by the demon and whose priest's uniform was soaked in blood, had already recovered most of his injuries through the fire ritual.

The brand-new holy sword badge on Aiwass' chest has been stained red by his own blood.There was also a big red patch on the chest of his priest uniform, and there was a circular hole visible to the naked eye, revealing the brand-new, fair skin that had just been restored through the fire ritual.

But no one laughed at Aiwass.Everyone looked at this boy in a wheelchair with respect.

Even Aiwass' voice at the moment is so majestic:

"The demon has been expelled! No need to panic, everyone please stay where you are and don't push!
"Let the priests treat the wounded first—they can still be saved!"

The crowd, who were still in chaos just now, subconsciously chose to obey Aiwass' orders.

Lily, who was still a little staggering, walked over and said in a low voice, "Sorry, Aiwass...I can't help you with anything..."

In the sudden shock, she felt her own weakness for the first time.

Before that, she didn't care about extraordinary power.To her it was just "power for fighting," and she didn't like fighting.But at this moment, it was the first time that Lily had such a strong desire for power—at least the next time Aiwass was attacked, she would not be as powerless as this.

"It's okay, Lily."

Aiwass looked at the glasses on Lily's face, and said softly: "There will always be a chance...Do you need treatment?"

"Give it to those who need more treatment first. I was just bumped, but many people were directly penetrated by demons..."

Lily shook her head, clutching her stomach and hissing softly.

At this time, Aiwass finally received a long-overdue reminder:

[Expel the deformed limbs, gain 210 free experience]

——Ten times more experience than Veronica!

He roughly estimated that this free experience is enough to directly upgrade a profession from level 10 to level 19!
After successfully grabbing the head, the corners of Aiwass' mouth raised slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

It's not in vain that I was stabbed hard by it.Aiwass thought.

By the way, speaking of phantoms...

At this moment, Aiwass suddenly remembered that there was an audience under him.

Why is there no movement?Silly?
"How, Shadow Fiend?"

So Aiwass took the initiative to speak and asked in his heart: "Are you satisfied?"

【...Honestly convinced, my respected master】

The Shadow Demon was silent for a long time before speaking in a quiet female voice.

Its answer was short, but the change in attitude was noticeable.

The hoarse voice with a matte texture has become a little lighter, which means that its flattering attitude towards Aiwass has become more obvious.It's like when a cat pleases its owner, it will add more vocal lines than usual.

Aiwass smiled contentedly, looked up at the sunset outside the window, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Coincidentally at this moment, Aiwass, Lily, and Gordon stopped at the positions they had just received the honor, exactly.

The knight's armor on Gordon's body is already tattered, his helmet flew to nowhere, and the sword of honor has been punched with obvious defects; and Aiwass's chest also has traces of being penetrated, and the blood-stained saint on his chest The emblem of the sword, shining in the light of the setting sun.Lily's condition was not very good, but she still stood faithfully behind Aiwass and got on his deformed wheelchair.

The reporter who was the first to discover the demon before and was obsessed with filming the demon saw this scene, and was pleasantly surprised to find that he hadn't used up all the negatives.

——So the reporter pressed the shutter again on Aiwass, and recorded and fixed this scene.
