The Simple Life of Killing Demons

Book 12: Chapter 57

Volume 12 Chapter 57 : The Greatest Enemy

Like a meteor shower, the arrows shining with magical light flew towards the lowly demons through the air. The magic arrows rich in the power of the spirits penetrated the lowly demons bodies, making them fall to the ground or in the water.

Aside from shooting down the demons in the air, the remaining rain of arrows flew to the demon army on the land, forcing them to retreat. The steel-armored dark insects were bathed in arrows, yet the sharpness of the rain did not leave any trace of scratches on its carapace. The magic attached to it caused no damage. It just stood by the riverbank and stared at Hawke.

It believed that among the countless spirits, Hawke was the strongest. Not to mention, he was the commander, as long as he was killed

However, the river water in front of it made it stop. Its body was too heavy, so long as it jumped into the water, it would neither be able to float, nor could it fly.

"I hate water." The skeletons could not swim because they were just skeletons. Unlike normal humans, they could not use body muscles.

"Useless bones." The lowly rock demon in the lead laughed, "Just leave this place to us."

"Yes! Leave this to us." The lowly rock demons all laughed.

"Tsk, a group of hard broken stones." The lowly skeleton demons were very upset.

However, the rock demons did have many advantages against the skeleton demons. When their arms and legs were broken, as long as there was earth, they could be restored. They could even hide underground without being discovered, as well as having great strength and strong defense. The cons were that they could not do fine work, such as forging weapons, they could not move every joint and clearly grasp their strengths.

Hundreds of rock demons approached the riverbank. Although the soldiers launched attacks on them, their skin was extremely sturdy, harder than ordinary rocks, so arrows had no effect on them.

"Stop attacking." The military division made a stop gesture, "Here, itll be up to our brothers underwater. What you all need to do is to aim at the enemy flying from the sky."

"Yes!" The archers ignored the rock demons and focused on the lowly demons that could fly. They would not let any flying demons reach their area.

"Plop, plop!" Jumping into the river collectively, the rock demons entered the river, causing a wave of water.

Although they were heavy, they were not afraid of being unable to go ashore. The walls were also made of stone, so they could stand on any surface of stone.

Underwater, the water spirits, who had been on standby for a long time, saw that they were a group of rock demons with superior defensive power, and let out a deep breath. The number of water spirits was about three hundred, while the number of rock demons was more than four hundred. Could they keep them under the water? It was a test for the water spirits.

The captain of the team looked at his fellow brothers on both sides and nodded to them, "Get ready, we plan to do this"

"So that's how it is!" After hearing the captain's plan, the water spirits suddenly realized.

Underwater was their world, how could they allow the lowly demons to pass through their world? They had to make sure to keep them under! Several water spirits had such a thought in their minds. However, some water spirits kept a smile on their faces, but their eyes were like a daggers, sending sharp blades into the bodies of their innocent companions without their knowledge.

Three kilometers away from Margado.

The soldiers who rushed from Selga could see from a distance that the agricultural city, which was always lit up at night, fell into darkness at the moment. On the way there, they also saw traces of the soldiers stationed outside fighting the monsters.

Broken halberds were buried in the sand, weapons were shattered, and the ground was covered with blood. However, no corpses of soldiers could be found. According to the soldier who escaped, those horrible insects liked to eat meat very much. With their very own eyes, they saw their captain was bitten off alive by two bugs.

Hearing that, the soldiers who had not felt any anxiety finally sensed a bad feeling in their hearts.

"Guys, do you think the residents in the city are alright?" A soldier gulped as he asked. In Margado, his friends were there.

"I hope they are fine! Do you know about locusts? When planting, there will be insects, like locusts, coming to destroy the plants. If they were in swarms, wherever they fly, the plants will definitely be wiped out, leaving no trace. However, what were facing this time will be the big locusts of the spirits I hope that the soldiers in the city can resist them. Theres really too many of them. Theyre not strong, but their presence alone means danger. You must pay attention to its saliva, as it has a very strong corrosive effect. Speaking of that, the few soldiers who escaped to get help all shuddered.

Have you ever seen a partner being corroded alive by highly corrosive liquid? They have. They had been through hell, the type of hell worse than their own death. For them, death was actually not terrible. The traumatic thing was that they, who were alive, saw those horrific scenes of their companions, who used to joke around, die in front of them, one by one.

"You all are very brave." An old spirit, namely Bart, was on a horse beside Tasser as he said slowly, while staring at the dark sky, "We must drive those invaders out of this land!"

"Oh!!!" The soldiers shouted, but they did not hear the melancholy in the voice of the old spirit when he spoke.

At that moment, footsteps sounded from all directions, and the soldiers hurriedly stay alert. In the dark field with insufficient light, it was difficult to see what it was.

A soldier took out something similar to a flare from the package on his back, and pulled the lead wire underneath.

A ball emitting dazzling white light rose immediately, illuminating the surroundings like the sun.

That was one of Catudor's magic products, the lighting ball.

After they saw who was coming, the soldiers heaved a sigh of relief. They turned out to be Margado's soldiers.

"Are you all good? What's going on in the city?" The commander of the soldiers asked the other party.

The other party did not answer, but surrounded them all.

"Hey, we are soldiers of Selga, we heard that you all have been"

The commander on the other side said a word heavily, "Attack."

"Hey! We are not enemies!"

Without giving any chance to explain, Margado's soldiers all fought over.

"Damn it! What are you doing?!" The commander and the other soldiers were puzzled, but the other partys murderous aura soared, as if Selga's soldiers were enemies.

"What's wrong with everyone? Commander Roderick! I'm Harry, a soldier under Captain Loess, who was ordered to be stationed outside to guard!" The soldiers who went to ask for help stood up, trying to calm Margado soldiers down, but the answer to him was a sword rushing forward.

"Splickk" Without hindrance, the long sword pierced through the abdomen. Until he fell to the ground, the soldier named Harry was still looking at the spirit in front of him with his eyes wide open. That was the teammate who was on the same team as him before, but after their team was attacked by the demonic insects, the teammate disappeared. He did not expect now that

"You" After uttering a word, Harry passed out.

"Damn it! They might be controlled by something! Suppress them while trying not to hurt them!" The commander shouted.

Soldiers from both sides started a battle.

Tasser and Bart looked at each other and silently sighed.

In fact, monsters had never been the greatest enemy, but their own kind. Both of them had been invited to join them, but they vaguely declined. They also thought that such a day would come, but they never knew that it would be so soon.

From monsters, the enemies of the spirits turned to be spirits.

Mantillu, the capital of Spirits

"The disappearance incident has stopped, so it seems peaceful recently." Above the doors of the gates of the palace, several guards on duty at night were chatting.

"Thats right, if we find the missing spirits again, along with enjoying the human food that Lin Xiang taught us to make, life will probably get better."

"This Lin Xiang, I don't have a good impression of him to be honest. He sneaked into our place, yet we didn't notice. However, when we found out about him later, we couldn't catch him. It really made us lose face. After that, Senior Officer Robin (The third fire spirit of the nation) punished our commander severely. Then, the commander punished us."

"I just joined the guards that time, so I didn't know. All I know is that Lin Xiang should be a good human being. After all, the Spirit King opened up the entire Spirit Country for him, didn't he? Not to mention, I heard those from Delza said that he was very kind, so the spirits there called him Sir Lin Xiang."

"Tsk, the people there are just a bunch of bumpkins. I'm not interested in him, but I can barely accept the food he cooks."

"Yes, porridge, this is indeed delicious food Huh? Is there something flying over there?" The guard narrowed his eyes, and a dark shadow was approaching from the sky.

"It seems so." The black shadow was getting closer and closer. With a swoosh, a gust of wind was stirred up as the blue silhouette flew over their heads.

"A flying bird, whos that up there?" The guards stared at the flying bird in the distance for a long time, but since there was no moon that night, they could not catch a clear glimpse of it. They could only see two figures sitting on it.

"Oh no! Why are we standing here stupidly! They are illegal intruders! They have not been registered! Who knows if they will be the second Lin Xiang! In this case, Senior Officer Robin will lose his temper again. Knowing that we didn't take any measures to stop them, hehe Life in the future will be difficult."

"But they already flew over us."

"Thats why this is the worst thing to happen! We want to catch up, yet we can't."

"Up till now, we have no choice but to pretend to be clueless."

"Yup." The guards all nodded in unison.

However, the flying bird that flew into Mantillu flapped its wings and headed towards the palace inside at a very swift speed.

Taroma was on the bird's back as cold sweat covered his entire forehead, "Hold on, Mom, were almost there. Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you. Those damn traitors! How dare they hurt their own kind!"
