Surging flas engulfed everything around.
Therefore, inevitably, not just myself, Agent Kong too was swept up by the wave-like flas and involuntarily let out a cry of terror, "Ah!"
Only then did I rember I had forgotten to remind him and hurriedly reassured him, "Don't worry, my flas won't harm allies."
In fact, it wasn't just allies who were unhard; even the ground and the nearby green belt ca out unscathed. Whether it was the destructive heat or the blinding bright light, they were effective only against the enemy. As long as I willed it, the flas would exhibit this kind of discriminating effect.
And yet, the situation was far from over. The mont the three demons were extinguished, two more demons crawled out from the shadows untouched by flas and bright light in the distance.
Also, through the skirmish that had just occurred, I had confird sothing else, their combat strength was not as great as the Fallen Demon Hunter's from last night.
Their sizes were similar, but their speeds had decreased significantly, and their agility wasn't even in the sa league. At least when they charged, although I couldn't move my feet in ti, I could still move my arms and make a symbolic striking gesture. Whether their attack power was the sa, I didn't know, since they had been destroyed before their attacks could land.
As for their defensive capabilities... in fact, the fire I had cast earlier would have had roughly the sa effect on the Fallen Demon Hunter from last night, so there was no discernible difference.
All in all, the Fallen Demon Hunter from last night must have been an elite among them, while these before my eyes were re riff-raff.
The two demons let out deafening roars and charged heedlessly as if disregarding their own lives.
Such actions would only lead to the sa outco as the three demons from monts earlier.
Considering the demons from before that used their comrades as shields, although they seed like insensitive beasts, they must possess intelligence; I didn't believe they were so foolish as to make such futile sacrifices. Was this overtly aggressive charge ant to draw my attention?
I didn't turn around but instead sensed the area behind through the surrounding flas.
As expected, a shadow had silently slithered along the ground to a position far behind . That place was actually still within the reach of the light from the fire, but the shadow, unaffected by the illumination, spawned another demon from within.
At this mont, that demon was avoiding the flas on the ground, approaching . With the roaring and the charge of the two demons in front, even with its massive and cumberso body, it could execute this stealthy assassination tactic.
Originally, I had wanted to burn it to death imdiately, but then I thought this was a great opportunity.
Zhu Shi and Agent Kong believed only my offensive capabilities were impressive, so here was my chance to demonstrate my margin for error when it ca to sneak attacks. Initially, I had planned to use the evil spirit to demonstrate, but unfortunately, the evil spirit did not appear; now, fate had handed a pillow just as I was getting sleepy, and there was no reason to miss out.
Fortuitously, this demon was not as agile as the Fallen Demon Hunter, and even with this extra opponent, I could still protect Agent Kong.
I raised my right hand towards the two demons in front, and the flas on the ground around rushed towards them under my control, reducing them to ashes.
Seeing the obstructive flas on the ground being diverted, the demon behind imdiately threw caution to the wind, hastening its pace and advancing close to .
Its two arms transford into mantis-like bone blades, swinging crisscross like scissors towards my torso.
Pretending not to notice, I didn't even turn my head.
But Agent Kong noticed the approaching demon, his face went pale, and he shouted, "Look out!"
At the sa ti, he aid at the demon and pulled the trigger.
If it had been the Fallen Demon Hunter from last night, human reflexes would never have caught up. Even if Agent Kong's brain reacted in ti, his movents would definitely be too late.
But now, this demon couldn't do that anymore. At the sound of the gunshot, it wasn't clear what kind of special bullet was loaded in the revolver, but the demon's huge body was imdiately knocked off course and rushed past , brushing my shoulder.
And as Agent Kong had said himself, this was ultimately an ergency weapon. Although it barely affected the demon's charge, it couldn't cause significant lethal damage.
Realizing its sneak attack had failed, the demon let out a frustrated roar. If only it had rembered to continue attacking at that mont, but unfortunately, it no longer felt like fighting and took off towards the distance.
I could only sigh and glanced at the demon's retreating figure.
As my gaze rested on it, a flash of light, brief as lightning, flared, and its body turned to ashes in an instant.
The battle was over, and all the flas and strange noises around dissipated. Apart from the ashes scattered on the ground, it was as if nothing had happened.
According to Agent Kong, this was undoubtedly "an overly simple act of killing."
Because of precedents like the Fallen Demon Hunter, it couldn't be determined with certainty that these demons were not humans. I only felt no psychological burden in killing them because they didn't seem human to .
However, if the enemies that had appeared in front of just now had been thoroughly human, and I had been asked to kill them... Setting aside the psychological hurdle, at least in terms of practical difficulty, there was no difference. They would have been killed by quite effortlessly.
In the face of this power, life was so fragile... I simulated that situation in my mind, feeling an indescribable emotion.
"That scared to death, I thought I was going to be done in by that monster," said Agent Kong, breathing a sigh of relief, "Zhuang Cheng, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
The contemplation that had just begun to erge was imdiately replaced by speechlessness when I thought about how Agent Kong had intervened. Indeed, life is full of disappointnts. It seems I'd better find other opportunities for actual combat performance, or perhaps not force such opportunities and simply demonstrate my skills in front of them as a kind of compromise.
Of course, if possible, I'd still hope for a more dramatic opportunity to showcase my abilities.
I temporarily set aside those ssy thoughts and walked forward, wanting to feel the ashes on the ground.
I wondered, after the burning of supernatural beings, how different would their ashes be from regular ashes?
But after just two steps, I involuntarily stopped myself.
Agent Kong should be standing behind , with his shadow cast by the sunlight falling in front of . However, the arm of the human shadow on the ground had sohow distorted into a shape that looked like a pair of long blades.
I instinctively turned around.
But before I could get a clear view of the attacker, the sky and earth suddenly spun, and my vision fell to the ground. Imdiately after, a headless body—both familiar and strange—also tumbled beside .
Struggling, I tried to lift my gaze to see who was attacking .
Then, a mighty and heavy slashing strike rcilessly entered my eye socket, even shattering my brain...
