The Simple Life of Killing Demons

Book 12: Chapter 59

Volume 12 Chapter 59 : Fight With Courage!

"Yeah!!!" Roars, screams, a heroic battle was carried out by the river. Although there were quite a few spirit soldiers, the defensive power of the low rock demons that attacked in the first wave were too strong, causing many lowly demons to reach the other side of the river. At the same time, there were also lowly demons coming directly across the river from the North.

"Hey, although these lowly demons are slightly smarter than the demon soldiers and can talk, don't you think they are still too stupid? As long as those rocks are joined together to form a bridge, we can obviously pass through." Gale, who had been observing the battle situation, spoke.

"It doesn't matter anyway, because the numbers of demon deaths dont concern us. The dying demon soldiers dont matter to us too. Everything is acceptable as long as they make a contribution, so that we don't have to deal with those low-ranked spirits." Raquels eyes were closed, while leaning against a tree, "I might as well go to the sacrifice site first, while you guys can transport the spirits back."

"Don't you know about team operation? The city lord here seems to be very powerful. Theyre lightning-attributed, but they were lured away. It seems that they are used as sacrifices to summon us. Otherwise, you couldve played with them." Shadowar looked at the towering city wall that was faintly visible in the distance. That should be Delza, and he always felt that there was something attracting him towards it.

"Forget it, whose electricity can be compared to mine? I don't want to deal with their garbage electricity, or itll taint me." Raquel looked bored.

"Ah, I really want to kill something. Hey, summon those rocks back to build a bridge and let our troops head there first. Although those spirits are weak, they are more than enough to deal with rocks." Gale pointed at a demon soldier under a tree as he gave orders.

Demon soldiers were not like the low demons. They were stronger than the lowly demons, but most of them were not as intelligent as them, so they could not speak. Only a few of them have good IQ, which granted them the ability to speak.

The demon soldier nodded. It was similar to a Japanese samurai as it was wearing armor and yielding a long sword by its waist, but its body only had bones. It could be said that it was a skeleton man as it had the appearance similar to the skeleton demon.

It grabbed the sword at its waist, stepped back for a distance and charged towards the river.

"Whats that guy about to do?" Several skeleton demons stared at it. When the demon soldier reached the edge of the river bank, it leaped into the air. Like a cannonball, it went straight across the river and landed firmly.

Some skeleton demons opened their mouths so wide that their jaws fell to the ground. Then, they squatted down to pick them up and fix them back.

"So this is the demon clan?! No wonder these guys are so arrogant, they really have some skills. However, dont you think it's strange that their rank doesn't seem to be higher than ours? The demonic energy in their bodies is only of low rank? Im a superior demon, you see."

"That's right, it's strange."

The skeleton demons knew that they could not do the same as the skeleton warrior. Let alone jumping over such a great distance, they could only jump two meters away, which was considered not bad.

The arrival of the skeleton warrior immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers, and a soldier slashed at it with his sword.

With a clang, the sword at its waist instantly reached its hand, blocking the soldier's attack.

"This guynot bad." The soldier increased his strength, trying to push down the skeleton warrior, but the skeleton warrior was extremely powerful. No matter how hard the soldier tried, the skeleton warrior maintained the same posture, unconcerned by the soldiers actions. Its sunken eye sockets were pitch black, giving off a creepy feeling.

At that moment, the skeleton warrior exerted all its strength, making the whole spirit soldier flew out.

"Cack, cack, cack, cack, cack." The skeleton warrior made a crackling sound of bones colliding, as if mocking the spirit soldier.

"Jerk." Naturally, the spirit soldier could not stand the ridicule and stepped forward again to fight it.

"Hey, that fellow, have it completely forgotten what I told it?" Seeing that, Gale made an unhappy voice, "If that's the case, then Ill do it myself."

Gale drifted under the trees, came to the riverbank, and opened his hands, while facing the remaining three hundred rock demons that were being attacked by soldiers.

"Hah!" A soldier slashed heavily at the rock demon in front of him. Suddenly, the rock demon hovered backwards, allowing him to slash an empty spot.

"What's this? What happened?" Not only the one in front of him, but all the other rock demons drifted upwards and were gathered towards the river.

"You jerk! Don't leave!" The soldier, who was fighting against the skeleton warrior, noticed that it was also drifting away, thinking that it wanted to escape.

However, the skeleton warrior made a creaking sound, which was completely different from the previous taunt. It seemed to be shouting No, while its dark eyes also showed fear.

"Stop yelling, I don't like disobedient subordinates." Gale looked at the skeleton demon floating above the river, and let out a sinister laugh, "You can think of yourself as a material for the bridge."

After finishing his speech, the skeleton demon and more than three hundred rock demons began to spin. Airflow, that was visible to the naked eye, appeared around them. The rotation speed of air was increasing and the airflow got denser.

Crack, clack. Gudong, dong. As if something was being smashed, the intense whirlwind dispersed from the center of the river to two sides, causing some spirit soldiers unable to stand and sending the low skeleton demons flying all over.

Whether it was the spirit soldiers or the army of lowly demons from the North, they all stopped at the same moment and looked at the scene in front of them.

Hawke was as stable as a mountain in the strong wind. He looked at the cracking wind as a drop of cold sweat slid down his temple.

This is the demon clan With the strength of only one person, a total of three hundred and seventy-six rock demons, weighing at least half a ton, were suspended by the wind. If spirits were to do that, they needed at least a hundred wind spirits to achieve that. Moreover, the spirits could not use the wind to crush the rock demons with their strong defense.

After the howling wind, a stone bridge with a width of more than five meters appeared on both sides of the river. The middle of the stone bridge was embedded with a skull.

The spirits all gasped for cold air, while the lowly demons that were originally dissatisfied with the arrogance of the demon clan also held their breath at that moment.

"Actually, if they were smarter and took the initiative, they might not need to die, but now Hehe." After another sinister laugh, Gale suddenly howled, "Whatre you all still standing there for?! Ive built a bridge for you, and youre still not passing?!"

"Oh yah!!!" The lowly demon soldiers were terrified of Gale. Some skeleton demons rushed up before they could connect their hands and feet that messed up by the wind, but they did not dare to care so much.

The skull on the bridge, the skeleton warrior, was not dead, probably due to Gale's intention. It moved its mouth and only made a creaking sound before being trampled to pieces by the running evil demon army.

"That's frightening! Our enemies are those?" The spirit soldiers felt fear as chivalry dropped sharply because of Gales trick.

What if the other party used their own flesh and blood to make a spirit bridge?

"No way! General Hawke! Let's retreat! There are too many enemies, and they are too powerful."

Indeed, if the lowly demon army from the North still arrived, based on the number of people alone, they could fight one-on-one, because the number of spirit soldiers and the lowly demon army was balanced. However, now that more than a thousand low demons kept coming from the North and the opponent was so strong that they could not imagine what kind of general they had behind, the spirit soldiers were physically and mentally exhausted since they fought the demonic insects.

"Yes, General Hawke, let's retreat, we can't make it."

Many soldiers began to waver.

The army of lowly demons also quickly gained the upper hand.

"Your stupidity is overbearing!" Hawke yelled, with a voice loud and clear, "If we retreat, the enemy will come to the city! By then, are we just going to sit back as we watch them invade the city? Think about your family! If you saw them hurt with your own eyes, how would you feel in your heart? Dont you want to see their happy smiles? Or do you want to retreat and see their dismay, so that you will feel more at ease!? Dont retreat! We will surely fight them back to their places! Then, with a triumphant smile, well go back to meet our family! Fight with courage! You are the bravest soldiers! Youre completely different from those traitors!"

""

The spirits were silent at first, and then burst into battle cries.

"That's right! I absolutely don't want to see my family members like that, and I don't want to see them get hurt!"

"We are different from those traitors! We have been training till this day to defend the community!"

Chivalry picked up a bit, and the retreating soldiers began to face the enemy bravely. Even though they knew they might not be able to defeat them, they still tried their best.

"Oh? These spirits are quite interesting. If theyre in the world beyond the skies, the spirits and humans will always consider themselves first." Shadowar has a new perspective on the spirit soldiers.

"Hmph, theyre just doing useless work." Death Demons spouted a wave of fire from the nose. Although the spirits were in battle, they were constantly falling back. It was only a matter of time before they retreat.

The steel-armored dark insect also passed the shore smoothly, and there were more than a hundred demonic insects behind it.

Once Hawke saw it, he quickly slashed the low demon in front of him with a long knife, and headed towards it. At that moment, the silver long knife was inevitably stained with some low demon's unique black blood. He was a little tired, and the speed of swinging the knife was not as swift as before.

The small red eyes of the steel-armored dark insect also saw Hawke and made a creaking sound.

The demonic insects following behind the steel-armored dark insect all ran in front of it.

"You want to use these things to stop me? Not a chance!"

With a turn of Hawkes body, the silver light of the blade fell as several demonic insects were broken in half. Corrosive mucus sprayed into the sky.

An astonishing act happened. The steel-armored dark insect was not using those little insects running in front of it to be its shield, but arousing them, and began to nibble at a very fast speed.

"What is it! Are you hungry? Eat it while you still can. Soon, I'll make it impossible for you to eat anymore!"

Thinking about how his comrades were being pierced and swallowed by it, Hawke became even more furious. He wanted to chop off the head of the huge insect to avenge his dead comrades.

When Hawke killed all the demonic insects in front of him, the steel-armored dark insect was still eating its little brothers.

"Ya!" Hawke jumped up high, and the knife went downwards with violence.

"Clang!" However, it did not have much effect.

With a flick of the steel-armored dark insects claw, Hawke was hit by the back of its claw. The barbs on its claws cut his chest before he got pushed away.

"General!" Seeing that Hawke was injured, the military adviser and others hearts were raised to their throats.

The steel-armored demonic insect threw away the remaining half of its little brother in its claws, and its body suddenly trembled.

"Psst." Its two front claws suddenly exploded, making the green blood to spew everywhere around it. The scene was disgusting, and after that, the severed claws instantly grew new pair of claws. If its claws were like sickles just now, its current claws were like piles of needles, densely packed with spikes. If one was hit, that person would definitely turn into a honeycomb.

That was just one of its changes. After it devoured the younger brother, sharp spikes protruded from its smooth carapace. The whole insect looked like a hedgehog.

With its change, it was even difficult to get close, not to mention attacking.

The steel-armored demonic insect curled itself up, like a hedgehog ball, grunting as it was rolling towards Hawke.

The demons that stood in its way had no time to dodge, so they were all pierced away.

"General, get out of the way!"

Hawke wanted too, but the barbs of the demonic insect seemed to be poisonous. At that moment, he only felt sharp pain in his chest. It was energy-consuming enough to support himself in a sitting position, so he could not stand up at all.

"General!" The soldiers shouted. They wanted to rescue him, but could not make it in time! The steel-armored demonic insect had already crushed those in front of Hawke and it would take another second for Hawke before he became a pile of rotten meat. Hawke was not very contented. Would his life end right there?

"Hhong!" A huge hand made of dark energy appeared out of nowhere, hit the steel-armored demonic insect and knocked it into the air, causing it to crush the low demon in the distance, causing a blood-curdling screech.

"If I came a few tenths of a second late, things won't end well." A pretty figure landed in front of Hawke. With black hair flowing like the leaves of a willow tree, the person had exposed skin of hands and feet that was as white as snow. In that poorly-lit environment, it was as glamorous as a legendary luminous pearl.

The beautiful face, that people find difficult to look away from, turned to look at Hawke, "Hey you, have a little self-aware, alright? You are a general. If you die here, won't the soldiers be in chaos?"

"You are"

If youre not a pretty girl, don't attempt to ask for my name, useless." Yalides lips formed a smile. With a raise of her foot, she kicked Hawke's chest, making him roll backwards, like a ball.

"You!" The soldiers who rushed over raised their weapons at Yalide.

"Don't be rude, she reduced the pain in my chest. Not to mention, I can move now." Hawke stood up slowly, and bowed to Yalide, "Thank you very much for your help."

"It's not too late to thank me after finishing off these things, do you have a daughter?"

"Uh I apologize, I don't quite understand."

"Forget it. With your looks, even if you have a daughter, she won't be any prettier." Yalide's scarlet eyes glowed in the dark night as she turned her head to the steel-armored dark insect, "Im never very fond of insects.
