Mysterious Tribulation

There are traces of demonic activity ahead, and we need to take a detour.

The tall, scantily clad half-elf rogue returned from the cruise with bad news for Aaron and the monk.

Well, after a few days of getting along, Aaron already knew that the female half-elf's name was Louisa.

As for the monks, there is only one word - shadow!

His character is taciturn, and it seems to be a habit left by the previous practice of oral precepts, and it has always been Louisa's speech.

According to the other party, she and the shadow master didn't know each other for a long time, and they only got together because of the mission.

'This scattered team is simply...'

After Aaron learned the truth, his heart was full of speechlessness.

'There are rogues, monks can be half warriors... And then archers, nurses, and even mages want me to be alone? ’

He intuitively believed that Master Ying had compassion, or a certain sense of responsibility, before taking on the task of destroying demons.

As for the female half-elf? is probably hidden.

In that case, let's take a detour.

Aaron suggested.

While speaking, he was still tuning his violin, playing a few notes from time to time.

Erha lay lazily at his feet, his azure eyes glanced at the female half-elf, and drooped down again.

stupid woman!

An ordinary elf wanderer probably couldn't even beat himself.

After all, Erha can also cast the 'secret mantra'!

It's hard work, come and drink some water.

Aaron threw a jug over: Are you from the southern countries? Are things bad over there?

Yes……

Luisa was silent for a while, and then said: The outer god came, burned down all the temples, and forced everyone to convert...

One of the more interesting things is that the city of freedom has always advocated equality before, but it always has no effect, but after the arrival of the evil god, it has been realized... No matter if it was a nobleman, a commoner, a beggar... now it is a serf !

It can be seen that she has some opinions on the human nobles.

It was only when he mentioned his family that a smile appeared on his face.

...

Louisa's occupation level is not high, but she is like a duck to water in the wilderness.

Aaron even suspected that she was not an ordinary rogue, but a 1st-level 'ranger', also called a 'ranger' profession!

Coupled with the blood of the half-elf, it has a bonus on the agility attribute.

Along the way, they avoided several suspected demon-infested areas and spent the night in several abandoned villages.

finally……

A castle in the river bend appeared in Aaron's eyes.

This old castle is not big, but it has a beautiful lawn, but it has long been ruined by this time.

There were also several broken human corpses scattered on the lawn.

After Luisa came back, her expression was not good-looking: I confirm that there are traces of cowardice activities in the castle... I also found a huge footprint. From the traces, it should belong to the mad war demon!

Fortunately, it's not a six-armed snake demon, a Balor demon or the like...

Aaron made a joke.

The current six-armed snake demon is not as good as before... It is said that they are very favored by the [Great Sun Tathagata], and they have been transformed into 'six-armed Maharaga', which is comparable to the Baluo Fire Demon... There is even a special The esoteric god - 'Eight-armed Maharaga King'!

Louisa Road.

The devil in the abyss has always been the Baluo Flame Demon, but he did not expect that after the introduction of the secret sect, the six-armed snake demon rose to prominence.

Probably because it has multiple arms and is very popular with some indescribable gods of the esoteric religion.

Since it is confirmed that the enemy has only one mad war demon, I think we can still attack frontally.

Aaron touched the spiritual bone rosary in his arms.

Although he is only a 9th-level bard, he can't stand his special skills and skills, and with the addition of legendary items, his combat power is by no means comparable to that of ordinary high-level professionals.

Fools attack a group of demons head-on.

Louisa gave Aaron a white look: I think we need the cover of the night...

She felt that the bard could also make a good rogue.

It's not a problem for two people to act together to clear some of the cowardice on the periphery.

Ying has always been a transparent person and did not express any objection.

The three and one dog found a place and slowly waited for it to get dark.

...

Night falls.

Aaron suddenly felt something and looked to the other side of the castle: There is movement!

Um?

Luisa and Ying immediately cast their gazes, and saw a riot from the demon, as if they were attacked!

Is it a militia from a nearby village?

Luisa went out for a trip and came back soon: They chose to attack the demons at night, but they were discovered...

These idiots!

Aaron covered his forehead. Demons generally have very high 'listening' skills, and maybe they also have 'dark vision' expertise.

Not a professional rogue, but also play night raid?

Isn't this a delivery?

It's a pity, no matter what, because among these people... there are many Kimo people.

He is also a false god of the Kimo!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, we can do it and try to save people at the same time, what do you think? Master Ying?

Aaron looked at Master Shadow.

Can!

Master Shadow is wrapping bandages on his hands, obviously ready to start.

...

Vengeance! Revenge!

Wendy's eyes were red, and she swung the long sword in her hand.

After getting the news of the demons in Karn City, he settled the employment fee and followed his friends back to his hometown without hesitation.

But there was a scene that made them tear their eyes.

A few days ago, the demon who occupied the nearby Roland Castle attacked them, not only killing many people to make soul spar, but even kidnapping many children!

Wendy and the others blew up immediately, and under the leadership of a high-level 'barbarian' warrior who came, they were ready for revenge!

puff!

He slashed a cowardly demon with a sword, felt the blood with a slight smell of sulphur, and let out a roar!

Deng Deng!

At this moment, a black shadow like a heavy hill came to the battlefield.

It's a mad war demon!

[Fighting Demon (large alien creature)]

[Challenge level: 15]

[Attributes: Strength 21, Agility 10, Constitution 29, Intelligence 14, Perception 14, Charisma 18]

[Specialties: Blasphemy, Proficient in Grapples, Summoning Demons, ? ? ? 】

...

demon!

In the team, a barbarian warrior over three meters tall roared loudly, his muscles instantly swelled, and his eyes became blood red.

- High Fury!

He swung his battle axe and charged towards the stench full of mad war demons.

The gigantic Berserker swung his arms and used a giant hammer full of foul aura to fight with the barbarian.

...

In the shadows in the distance, Aaron and Luisa were sneaking closer.

The attributes of this mad war demon are a bit powerful. It may take a team of high-level professionals who cooperate with each other to take it down... The strength is close to the legendary level.

Aaron gestured for Louisa to start attacking.

After they have solved the enemy, Master Shadow will also be waiting immediately.

At this moment, a guy in a cloth robe who seemed to be an archer suddenly took out a scroll from his arms.

After the tear, there is a strong wave of elemental turbulence.

——Monster Immobilization Technique!

He turned out to be a hidden mage!

The mad war demon shrouded in magic was motionless, like a sculpture.

For the village!

The barbarian roared, and an axe slashed at the Berserker Demon, almost cutting off most of its head.

next moment!

The effect of the spell disappeared, and the mad war demon screamed and returned to the castle.

Even if it has a very high physique and may even have the expertise of 'advanced regeneration', it is still an extremely terrifying injury after being chopped off almost half of its neck!

Chase!

Wendy roared and followed the barbarian warrior into the castle.

Aaron and Luisa followed in secret.

As soon as he entered the castle, Aaron felt wrong: Is this... evil aura?

The entire castle exudes an evil and chaotic atmosphere.

In the most central hall of the castle, there is an altar, built with unknown skeletons, and a lot of skulls can be seen on the base!

The altar of evil?

No... this is a esoteric sacrificial ceremony!

Aaron thought to himself.

At this time, the severely injured Berserk Demon came to the edge of the altar, and a large number of soul spar instantly disappeared.

next moment!

A ray of light fell on it, making its wounds heal quickly.

- Advanced Restoration Technique!

This is the grace of the evil god!

The altar must be destroyed, or the land will fall into perpetual corruption...

Louisa whispered.

At this moment, Wendy and the others looked at the restored mad war demon, but their mood was like falling into an ice cave.

They have no more advanced scrolls.

The mad war demon let out a grin.

Its figure disappeared in an instant, and then it came to the side of the mage disguised as an archer. The huge palm just hit the opponent's head into the chest.

- Teleportation!

Go!

Aaron's figure emerged from the shadows and cut a cowardly devil's throat with a knife!

Louisa appeared at the same time and attacked and killed the other coward.

That is……

The revenge militiamen looked at the sudden appearance of reinforcements, their expressions could not help becoming dull.

Especially Wendy, looking at the familiar figure: Mr. Aaron?

Aaron killed a demon, took out the qin, and plucked the strings.

- Music Score: Inspiration!

Come on together, besiege this mad war demon!

He shouted, and a 'dimensional anchor' was thrown away.

Master Ying appeared directly from behind the two of them, with extremely fast movements and a strange sickle in his hand.

- Suomen Sickle!

The pitch-black scythe was like an invitation to death, and wherever it went, one demon fell one after another!

Seeing the reinforcements coming, the barbarian roared and rushed towards the Berserker Demon again.

Master Shadow's footsteps were like phantoms, leaving many afterimages, approaching the mad war demon, with dark negative energy entangled in his hands.

puff!

The black sickle sank into the back of the mad war demon, and it sounded like a whisper from the god of death.

——Eternal Sleep Touch!

This is the high-level professional ability of the Eternal Death Monk!

The hitter must go through a physique judgment, but it is obvious that the physique of this mad war demon is very high, and it has obtained the effect of saving half of the damage.

Even so, the scythe opened a big mouth behind the opponent, bleeding profusely.

The mad war demon howled and rushed to the altar of evil again.

Wang... woohoo!

Just then, a loud dog bark, no, it was a wolf howl.

Erha had already sneaked to the vicinity of the evil altar, and suddenly let out a roar.

Behind it, a majestic direwolf phantom appeared, as if chanting something.

Secret Mantra - Set!

The Berserker Demon's body was stagnant, and the barbarian cut him again at the wound on his neck.

Master Shadow came to the back of the mad war demon in an instant, and the sickle stabbed in again.

puff!

The huge mad war demon fell down.

We are victorious!

Wendy was about to cheer when she saw that the demon's body was abnormally swelling and getting bigger...and then...Boom!

A terrifying explosion formed.

A huge crater was left in place, and the powerful shock wave caused others to stagger.

Boss!

Wendy climbed up from the dust, looked at the pit, and gave a startled cry.

Corpse Explosion?

Aaron is just a support, and he is far away, but he has not been affected much.

With a puzzled look on his face, he scratched among the rubble for a long time, and dug out a gray dog.

Ow... woo woo!

Erha, who saved the dog's life, stuck out his tongue in flattery, and even sniffed along the ruins for a while, and began to bark again.

Aaron moved a slate away and saw the scarred Master Shadow.

Although the other party was seriously injured, he sighed strangely. Obviously, the ability to survive is extremely strong, and it is still above Erha!

After all, the opponent was extremely close to the Berserker Demon at that time, and another high-level barbarian warrior was already dead...

Death ninja?!

Aaron checked Master Shadow, nodded and shook his head, raised his hand and performed a 'Healing Minor Injury'.

Master Ying's face suddenly looked much better. Although he was still seriously injured, his life seemed to be saved.

That evil altar has been destroyed...

Louisa came from one side, with a look of unbearable expression on her face: It was forged with bones and a lot of soul spar... It may have become a beacon of the evil god, if it remains, I don't know if it should be How to deal with it... that's the matter of the high priest.

Um.

Aaron nodded, rubbed Erha's dog's head, and looked at the militiamen.

Wendy was staring blankly in front of the barbarian's mutilated corpse.

This revenge operation can be said to be a tragic victory. Without Aaron's help, their group may even be wiped out!

However, the price they paid was horrific.

Not to mention that no hostages were rescued, even the leader of the barbarian and the low-level mage that he finally cultivated died.

Mr. Aaron, thank you for your help.

After a long time, Wendy reacted and sincerely thanked Aaron.

It's nothing, we just took over the mission of the Adventurer's Guild...

Aaron waved his hand: Do you need our help?

He still remembered the joy when Wendy told him about his little village, but he didn't expect it to be like this when we met again.

But this is only the epitome of cruel times, and it's happening everywhere in the demon-ridden North.
