Home of the Brave

The big demon Alu was very dissatisfied with the performance of his brothers.

That's right, the demons who attacked the hot spring village are its brothers. And it's not just them, all the ghosts of the Redstone Ghost Clan are brothers, and they all share the same "mother". "Mother" is the source of their birth and their supreme creator. All demons admire the "mother" who gave them life, and Aru's love for "mother" is better than other people.

Most of Aru’s brothers were nurtured by robbed women, but Aru grew up next to his “mother”. Sheltered by the "mother" demon spirit, Alu was born with a stronger body and a smarter mind than the other brothers, and could even use a weak demon spirit. Such Aru was extremely pained by the "mother" and was appointed as the big demon to manage the brothers.

There are still a few big demons like it, but Aru believes that he is the best child of "mother".

Aru and his mother and brothers lived a comfortable life in the lair. When they were hungry, they would catch some beasts to eat, and when they were thirsty, they would drink some water from the dark river. If they were bored, they could go to the ground and attack those travelers, if they could catch them back. When one or two young women come, they can live a happier life. Alu loves the soft bodies of those young women, and often enjoys them, but the sweet milk of the "mother" is his favorite.

Originally, Aru thought that such a happy life could last forever, but about a week ago, the originally quiet "mother" suddenly became anxious, and a little thing could make her furious. Once, several adventurers accidentally broke into the lair, and Aru witnessed the "mother" tearing them to pieces. Later, it asked the "mother" and found out that a strange demon came to the Frost Mountains and threatened the "mother". After learning that the other party was lurking in the street on the ground, Aru volunteered to eradicate the demon for the "mother".

It can smash the head of an ogre with a slap, and it can also use a weak demonic energy. Alu believes that with the unity of himself and his brothers, it is enough to defeat any enemy that threatens the "mother". So regardless of the "mother"'s dissuasion, he carefully chose a moonless night, and rushed to the street with his brothers, ready to find the monster who is the enemy of "mother".

As Aru expected, under the cover of night, its brothers easily swept the entire street. The reverberating wailing sounds made Aru very happy. It wanted to rush down to join the brothers' carnival, but the love for "mother" made it remember its original purpose. Standing on the highest roof, Aru looked around the street with wide-eyed eyes, trying to find the demon that threatened "Mother", but he hadn't gained anything for a long time.

Suddenly, a dazzling thunder light flashed, making it notice a certain place.

There, its brothers collapsed on the street, and a green-haired woman was chasing and killing the last few demons who escaped. The fearless fighting posture made Aru confirm that she was the target she was looking for. Seeing that the brothers were about to be killed by her, Alu roared anxiously and was about to rush over, but was stopped by the sudden appearance of the figure.

"No, that's Albers's witch, even if we have to take a bit of effort, you just rushed over here to find death."

The purple-haired jealous demon appeared in front of him with a smile that confuses all living beings, and stretched out his hand to press on Aru's chest.

Alu was in a daze for a while because of the jealous smile, but when he recovered, he found that he was unable to move, as if there was an invisible iron chain tightly entangled with his body. Can't move a finger. With a gaze full of fear, Alu watched Ji Yao's hand slowly stretched into his chest, pinching his heart. Just when it opened its mouth and screamed, suddenly a scorching demon power was injected into its body along the palm of Ji Demon's hand.

Under the urging of the demon power, the heart of the big demon spirit beats at a frantic frequency, transporting the blood containing the demon energy to every cell of the body. Along with the pain of burning his body, Aru's body began to undergo astonishing changes. First, the two arms stretched and hardened, and two ferocious bone blades with jagged wingers grew out. Then, countless bone spurs protruded from under its body skin, and the bone hard armor broke through the epidermis, making the original black paint. The big lacquered monster took on the appearance of white forest.

Two huge bone blades, ubiquitous bone spurs, and hard armor all over the body. When the jealous demon retracted his hand, the big demon Alu had completely turned into a fierce war ghost. Aru stared at the witch below with blood-red eyes, and the desire to fight filled her mind, and even the appearance of "mother" was concealed...

"Okay, good boy..." Ji Yao patted its head and said with a chuckle. "Go ahead and perform well."

At the moment when he felt the fierce and evil spirit, Miranda subconsciously activated the magic "Storm Barrier". The fierce storm turned into a tornado barrier guarding the witch, but facing the fierce blade that fell from the sky, she resisted for less than a second before she was cut like tissue paper. With the time gained by the storm barrier, Miranda avoided the fate of being cut in two by a few millimeters. The stone house behind her took over the slash of the big demon, but the whole collapsed, arousing countless dust and smoke.

"...Monster? No, monster?"

Miranda appeared a few meters away, holding a holy silver sword to look at the big demon who suddenly appeared. The dusty clothes made her look quite embarrassed, but compared to this kind of thing, the witch was more concerned about the powerful enemy in front of her. A strong demon aura exudes from Alu, but the feeling it gives her is different from the demon he has ever seen. Miranda, who was in confusion, suddenly noticed that Ed and the others were coming here not far away, as if they were planning to work with her to deal with the big demon.

"Don't come here! Stupid!"

The Miko stopped the reckless action of the fool trio on the spot. Leave the previous low-level demons aside, the big demons surrounded by demons in front of them are not a level that ordinary adventurers can handle.

"I'll deal with it, you guys stay by side obediently..."

Miranda, who was speaking like this, took a deep breath, calmed down, and then fixed his gaze on the demon. Since she had consumed a lot of energy in the previous chaotic battle with the monster army, the longer the fighting time, the more disadvantaged her. Miranda intends to make a quick battle.

Calling for the blessing of the magical "Wind Shadow Body", the witch took a step forward, and the figure turned into a gust of wind and rushed towards the big monster at the same time. In response to the Miko's actions, Aru let out a low roar and waved out. The arm of the big demon and the length of the bone blade made the attack range of this slash reach an astonishing three meters. However, just before the bone blade slashed Miranda's body, the figure of the witch disappeared from Aru's vision. .

The disappearing maiden turned around lightly in mid-air, over Aru's head, and the holy silver sword in her hand struck the shoulders of the big demon, wiping a series of sparks on the bone armor.

Alu's bone blade cut deep cut marks on the ground, and the witch's stabbing sword left insignificant white spots on the bone armor of the big demon, the power gap between the two was as obvious in the literal sense.

"……so hard!"

After landing, Miranda couldn't help taking a breath, and the big demon's counterattack had already followed.

Facing the roaring bone blade, the witch mobilized the magical powers of the "Cangzhi Eye" and wandered between the cut marks of the murder weapon with the highest attention. However, after the previous exhaustion with the demon army, her physical and mental strength have obviously not been able to support this highly exhausted tactic for long. While Miranda felt anxious, Alu seemed to be annoyed that he could never touch the corner of his opponent's clothes. With a low growl, he even abandoned the Miko and ran towards another goal.

Alu chose the target for the mother and son who were hiding in the corner not far away. They were chosen by the big demon as their prey before they could escape. At this time, Ed and the others were still a few meters away, and there was no time to help.

"Wait...wait, your opponent is me! Stop it!"

Miranda watched the big demon raise the bone blade of his right hand high, and did not dare to summon the divine thunder, so she had to do her best to urge the "Blade of Wind Breaking" to be sent. The wind breaking blade slashed on the bone armor behind the big demon ghost, only to make the opponent's huge body sway slightly.

At the moment the bone blade fell, Miranda closed her eyes subconsciously, but what followed was not the screams of innocent people, but a muffled sound of gold and iron. Miranda tentatively opened her eyes and saw that the big demon's bone blade was held by a large black sword. The female knight in silver armor appeared in front of the mother and son in time, stopping the blade full of harm. tip.

"Xia Luwei!" Miranda couldn't help but cried out in surprise.

As if responding to her call, the female knight uttered a soft drink, and Shen Yuanjian immediately turned its blade, opened the arms of the big demon, and slashed into the gap in the big demon's abdomen with a rapid horizontal slash. Alu's abdomen was also protected by a hard bone armor, but after all, it could not be compared with the Shen Yuan sword forged from meteorite iron. Only the ear armor made a cracking sound, and the fierce impact made the big demon step back several steps, crashing a wall, and then half of his body was buried in gravel.

"Xia Luwei, is your side well?" While the big demon was thrown into a daze, Miranda hurried to the female knight's side.

"Well, the people have gathered to take refuge in the hot springs, Yang Zhengshou is there... Miranda, you should also take them to meet with Yang Hui." Xia Luwei pointed to Ed and the others.

"But, that big guy..." Miranda looked at the big demon who was slowly getting up.

"I'll deal with it." The female knight clenched Shen Yuanjian in her hand. "You go to the hot spring house first, and I will come back to meet you after I resolve it here."

"...Also, don't force yourself!"

Xia Luwei’s five unnamed poses were originally designed to challenge monsters. Coupled with the power that Shen Yuanjian has just shown, I believe that it should not be difficult to solve the big monster in front of you. Miranda made such a judgment. The situation did not allow him to hesitate, so she immediately greeted Ed and the others to retreat to the hot spring on the other side of the street, and of course also brought the rescued mother and son.

"Alright..." After watching Miranda and the others leave, the female knight turned her head and looked at the big demon coming out of the ruins. She took a deep breath and held Shen Yuanjian in her hands, holding it high above her head. Show the five "irritation" in the style.

"...Next, I will be your opponent."
