Six-Armed Serpent Demon

Page 38

"We are not enemies, respected demon," Aprilton said. "We can cooperate. So why not lay down your swords and we can have a proper talk?"

Every word he spoke was so sincere and believable. In her daze, she felt as if the halfling in the black robe was a friend she had known for a long time.

She hesitated, then slowly lowered the tip of her sword.

That's right.

The halfling's gentle voice subtly soothed and weakened her will to resist.

Aprilton Bronk, a rare Demon Master professional.

This class not only possesses a wide variety of spells for summoning demons, but also has powerful skills that allow them to bypass magic resistance and directly charm and control the minds of demons.

He conveyed his allure directly to her heart: "Feel it carefully, how you feel about me. Sincere, intimate. Can you feel it? There's a deep bond between us."

The light in the emerald green vertical pupils gradually dispersed.

Her jade-like body trembled slightly.

Aprilton watched with satisfaction as the demon changed.

That demonic drow was easily tamed by Aprilton Bronk and turned into his dog. That's what gave him the confidence to stay here and face the six-armed serpent demon.

Now, he will turn this beautiful witch into his sharpest sword and most exquisite plaything.

But her answer surprised him: [...]

Aprilton frowned.

He emphasized: "We were best friends and confidants. Remembering that feeling, you devil, how close we used to be."

The six-armed serpent demon trembled even more violently.

Best friends and confidants...

Countless fragments of memories flashed before her eyes.

Under the skillful manipulation of the Demon Master, the faces of the people in the deepest, most intimate and sweetest memories deep within her mind were automatically replaced with those of halflings.

Aprilton sensed that the female demon's emotions had suddenly fluctuated violently.

This intense fluctuation was unprecedented, and it almost shattered the mental connection between him and her.

—This female demon's will is so strong!

The halfling was determined to give it his all.

Obey my commands, you demon!

He changed his tone, shifting from hypnotic seduction to forceful mind control; the telepathic voice instantly transformed into a booming bell, resounding loudly in the demoness's mind:

I am your master, and the intimate bond between us is the foundation of our relationship! Now! Obey me! Slave!

The six-armed serpent demon let out a mournful cry.

Her head snapped back with such force that it seemed to break her beautiful neck.

Just like when the ashtray smashed into my forehead back then.

She shakily raised her head again.

As the demons chanted incantations, a dark purple-black evil power surged forth from her body as if it were free, almost overwhelming her.

Aprilton's face immediately darkened.

That was a protective spell for good creatures used by mortal hunters. This spell not only effectively increased their defense against good creatures, but most importantly, it could block all mind control effects.

His spiritual connection with her was severed.

The supernatural effect of "dominating evil spirits," which was about to take effect, has been completely suppressed.

The magic was complete, and the purplish-black aura gradually dimmed.

The half-bodied people were horrified to see that the pair of emerald green vertical pupils opposite them had turned almost blood red under the influence of murderous intent.

Suddenly, the gray bag beast beside them let out an extremely miserable howl.

The six-armed serpent demon's spell-like ability, "Blade Barrier," not only occupied the spot where the gray bag beast was standing, but also generated rings of rotating blade walls around it.

To everyone's astonishment, the Grey Bag Beast howled, its massive body tumbling and rolling amidst countless buzzing, transparent, spinning blades. The Grey Bag Beast struggled desperately, sometimes transforming into a jumble of tentacles, sometimes reverting to its original form, but all in vain. The force of hundreds of rotating force field blades slashed at it from all directions, constantly shoving it, making it impossible for it to even stand firm.

Accompanied by a spinning buzzing sound, bits of meat and fluorescent green pus flew everywhere.

In less than ten seconds, the giant monster vanished, leaving behind only a pile of minced meat and bone fragments, as well as large patches of fluorescent green residue on the walls and floor.

The stone chamber was filled with a nauseating, fishy stench.

A sacred greatsword shimmering with blue and white light appeared in the free hand of the six-armed serpent demon.

"I originally just wanted to cause a scene and leave... but now I've changed my mind."

When the incantation was chanted, the demonic chorus of many women's voices eliminated all other noises, leaving only a voice filled with rage.

That was the voice of the reborn person from their previous life on Earth; despite the change in time and space, the accent remained unchanged.

"Die, you bastard."

Chapter 47 Sword Rain

The halfling leader stared dumbfounded at the large patches of fluorescent green on the stone chamber walls and the bits of gray bag beast flesh scattered on the floor, before letting out a chilling, ear-piercing scream.

“My child…”

Aprilton was overcome with grief and spoke incoherently.

His eyes grew even more sunken, as if two black holes had grown beneath his brow bones, and he gritted his teeth: "I'll kill you!"

The six-armed snake demon sneered, "What a coincidence! Weren't we thinking the same thing?"

Her five arms each gripped the Spellbreaker Mand and four other greatswords, while her other hand drew from her dimensional bag the Samarachi Warsword, originally belonging to the Arcane Knight Cons. This black-bladed warsword, though shorter than the others, was a magical weapon Cons had specifically prepared to counter her—though he hadn't even had time to retrieve it from his dimensional bag—its enchantment was called Shadow Strike, which allowed it to automatically adjust itself to penetrate enemy damage reduction upon impact, making it extremely powerful.

The six-armed giant serpent charged forward, rushing onto the stone platform in the blink of an eye, heading straight for the halflings' position.

The halfling leader roared and reached out to shake her hand from afar.

The six-armed serpent demon froze. An invisible force surrounded her, attempting to force her demonic body to remain on the stone platform. That was the Demon Master's ability, "Demon Immobilization Spell."

She stood there motionless.

The halfling leader grinned and pulled his wand from under his black robe.

This is a wand crafted by Aprilton Bronk himself for the "Level 4 Summon Monster Spell". As is well known, wands can only hold spells below Level 4. However, one of the professional abilities of a Demon Master is to use the "Level 4 Summon Monster Spell" to summon a powerful demon that can only be summoned by the "Level 8 Summon Monster Spell".

"Can't move anymore," he roared, "Show your legions!"

As the wand was activated, the air behind Aprilton began to swirl and churn, as if it had transformed into an invisible layer of grease, or a transparent membrane connecting to another world.

The six-armed serpent demon saw something surging and bulging on the other side of the diaphragm.

Aprilton laughed heartily, unleashing the magic stored in his wand time and again. And so, the thing that had been lingering on the other side of the membrane emerged from the transparent membrane, one after another.

As three humanoid demons, each nearly three meters tall, stepped onto the surface of the material world, their sharp claws instantly shattered the hard stone. Purple slime seeped from beneath their broad, feathered wings, coating their thick gray and black feathers with a thin purple film.

The three demons turned their vulture-like heads and looked at the six-armed serpent demon.

There was no emotion in those six eyes other than rage and bloodlust.

—Flomo.

The six-armed serpent demon, using the demonic knowledge stored in its brain, identified the three winged, strange-looking vulture giants.

They are the most vicious and cruel soldiers in the demon army.

"I will tear you to pieces to avenge my child!"

Aprilton roared menacingly, raising his left hand to grasp at the six-armed serpent demon, continuing to control her with "Demon Stun," while wildly waving his monster-summoning wand.

"Destroy her! Torture her! No one can withstand my demonic army! I can make as many wands as I want!"

The six-armed serpent demon's vertical pupils resembled two emerald fireballs.

She looked at him, yet she didn't look at him.

Despite having severed the mental link, the effects of the "Charming Demon" and "Dominating Demon" brought back a flood of memories: the halfling leader's face, the face of the person who also claimed to be her closest confidant, and the waving ashtray... all intertwined and flickered before her eyes, making her nauseous.

Anger and hatred continued to rise in her heart.

In the spiritual world, the numerous souls she absorbed involuntarily transformed into countless tiny specks of light, flying towards the blue-purple disc that rotated around the circular darkness, and merging into it.

The visions in the spiritual world have undergone a subtle change.

At the center of the strange phenomenon was a circular darkness. The outline of the darkness was a pale purple halo. Originally, there was a bright, dark red dot on the halo, which slowly moved along the halo, like a "satellite" in the circular darkness.

Now, the bright, dark red dot has become two closely connected dots, and they are rotating around the darkness at an even faster speed.

The three Floods let out a deafening scream, flapped their wings and leaped onto the stone platform, pouncing on the six-armed snake-bodied woman opposite them.

The next second, the sound of the blade cutting through the air was sharper than a whistle, making everyone in the stone chamber feel a slight pain in their eardrums.

In the dimly lit stone chamber, a flash of blue-white lightning seemed to illuminate the scene. A Flomoth rushed in the closest, and suddenly its vulture-like head split in two.

The halfling leader's triumphant laughter seemed to be cleaved in two by this sword strike.

Blue-white and purplish-red sword light flashed, and in the blink of an eye, the other two Flomos were hit by more than ten swords, with chunks of flesh and limbs scattered all over the ground.

The six-armed serpent demon felt that his swordsmanship had undergone some kind of incredible change.

Besides the main hand that holds the Spellbreaker Mand, the other five hands became more agile, and in that instant, each of the secondary hands holding the sword slashed one more time than before.

Five lieutenants, five swords.

In the blink of an eye, he managed to slash five more times.

Aprilton Bronk's hand trembled as he reached out to grasp the six-armed serpent demon.

He stared in disbelief at the corpse of Floro, which was gradually turning into black stains, and felt his hands and feet grow cold.

Experienced rangers and warriors possess a skill known as "Mastery of Dual-Weapon Attacks." When wielding weapons in both hands, they can launch two attacks with their off-hand weapon between attacks with their primary weapon. This six-armed demon, however, inexplicably mastered a similar skill: "Mastery of Multi-Weapon Attacks"!

Not only that--

He couldn't help but scream, "How come you can't be frozen by demons?"

Her answer was succinct and clear: "Because you're stupid!"

Before the words were even finished, the giant serpent's body darted across the stone platform like lightning, heading straight for Aprilton.

Since "Protective Goodness" can block "Charm" and "Domination," it can certainly block "Immobilization," which also affects the mind.

—Aprilton Bronk.

—As a gang leader, you haven't taken matters into your own hands for far too long!

—You idiot, you've forgotten how to fight!

In the blink of an eye, Aprilton rolled backward, dodging the blue-white sword light that flew close to him.

The halfling guards on either side instinctively shielded their leader behind them and simultaneously pulled the triggers of their repeating crossbows.

The six-armed serpent demon's sword light danced around her, intercepting and deflecting the dozen or so arrows that were fired at close range. Wherever the sword wind passed, the five half-human guards turned into five headless corpses, still standing upright, forming a semicircle in front of her.

She sneered, her gaze piercing through the blood splattered on the guards' necks as she stared at the retreating halfling leader.

Aprilton screamed in agony.

He did manage to dodge the sword with astonishing agility, but both the wand that summoned the monster and his right hand, which held the wand, fell to the ground. Instead of blood, what flowed from his severed hand was a shimmering, green pus.

He endured the pain to complete the new incantation.

Seven or eight chilling iron chains rattled and swayed in the air from the hem and sleeves of the black robe, as if they had been given life.

This is the Demon Master's third-circle arcane spell, "Dancing Chains".

Through his Eye of Truth, the six-armed serpent demon saw that the raised heads of the numerous chained serpents were all pointing at him, and that spikes and blades had grown from the chains, turning them into living chains of spikes.

Aprilton screamed, "I'm going to kill you!"

The next second, a choking magical black mist spread outwards from him, obscuring his vision even to those with the Eye of True Sight. It was the Demon Master's fourth-circle arcane spell, "Parrot Cloud." Those trapped in the black mist not only lost their sight but also suffered severe lung damage, ultimately falling under a spell similar to "Confusion."

The six-armed serpent demon, disregarding everything, relied on the protective effect of its benevolent mind and charged headlong through the thick fog. To its astonishment, it saw the halfling leader fleeing backwards.

This method of action looks extremely familiar.

She remembered seeing it in a superhero movie on Earth in her previous life; it could be described as "Doctor Octopus-style movement." Chains covered in sharp blades, like seven or eight iron tentacles, replaced Aprilton's hands and feet, carrying him as he ran wildly back to the stone chamber wall, and then carrying him up rapidly in an incredibly bizarre way.

The six-armed serpent demon saw a square passage above the stone chamber wall, which was an escape route that the halfling leader had prepared long ago.

"We will meet again."
