Demon?
Lynn dodged the sudden attack, and upon seeing the attacker’s appearance, couldn’t help but be stunned.
Are there still demons in Vier Town that haven’t been cleared out?
That shouldn’t be!
It’s been so long since the Abyssal Demon’s invasion, with Viper Academy’s thods, it’s unlikely there’d be demons left to roam in the town.
Moreover...
Low Tier Demons lack intelligence and only instinctively attack living creatures. How has it been hiding for so long?
The demon before him stood over two and a half ters tall, its dark red skin resembling wrinkles, with not a trace of hair.
The two curved horns were particularly striking, and the pair of wings on its back lightly flapped.
Horned Demon!
Commonly known as the Two-Horned Demon.
"Roar!"
A deep roar emitted from the Two-Horned Demon’s mouth, carrying a terrifying aura that made living creatures tremble.
Talent Ability — Fear Aura!
As the Horned Demon roared, so sparks burst from its mouth, and the ambient temperature rose accordingly.
"Whiz!"
Its double wings behind suddenly flapped, and its figure swiftly skimd the ground, pouncing towards Lynn.
It ca rapidly and with terrifying force.
"Fire!"
Lynn instinctively retreated, pointing his Magic Wand forward, sending a searing fla forward.
Jeff, who was hiding in a corner, couldn’t help but twitch watching this scene.
Such strong Fire Control Ability!
Even though he just promoted to Interdiate Wizard Apprentice, the spell’s power was almost comparable to an Advanced Wizard Apprentice.
The Magic Wand seed like the massive mouth of a Fire Dragon, spewing rolling flas outward, instantly engulfing the Horned Demon.
Unfortunately...
Jeff sneered:
’The Two-Horned Demon is specifically ant to counter Fire Magic, this is specially prepared for you by Senior Sinier.’
In the field.
The raging flas montarily halted the Horned Demon’s forward charge.
"Boom!"
The Fiery Fla dispersed.
The Horned Demon, with glowing reddish skin, roared and tore through the flas, its scarlet eyes fixated on Lynn.
The Fire Magic fell upon it, as if being devoured.
"Whiz!"
The Horned Demon charged again, even more fiercely, its claws pulling out a streak of fla besides the innate fear aura.
It was also a Fire Attribute Demon, highly resistant to fla, almost immune to Zero Ring Fire Magic.
"Hiss..."
Lynn dodged, the wall behind him easily shredded by the Horned Demon, and huge stones shattered on the spot.
With such an attack, if it fell on him, let alone the physically weak Wizard Apprentice, even a Legendary Knight might not withstand it.
"Whiz!"
"Ding..."
A Longsword appeared in Lynn’s hand, the blade slashed upwards, precisely stabbing the wrist of the advancing Horned Demon.
As the Knight Sword collided with its skin, it emitted a sound of gold and iron clashing.
Imdiately following.
"Ding ding dang dang..."
Sounds as rapid as a violent storm echoed, and suddenly the area was filled with sword shadows, human and demon fighting equally.
How is this possible?
Jeff’s eyes widened.
The combat strength Lynn displayed at this mont was almost comparable to a Legendary Knight, greatly exceeding his expectations.
’The Green Dog Brothers must have been killed by him!’
Now he’s secretly relieved, fortunately, Lynn didn’t find out it was him who instructed the Green Dog Brothers to act.
Otherwise...
He might have long died sowhere!
’Good, very good!’
’Since you didn’t find , it’s fated for you to suffer at my hands, just quietly go to your death!’
He pressured the Horned Demon to act according to the thod taught by Sinier, eyes fixated on the battlefield.
At this mont, Lynn and the Horned Demon had been entangled for a while, strength gradually waning, frowning.
Sothing’s wrong!
Demons lack wisdom but possess battle instinct.
The Horned Demon should know that it can’t take him down in a short ti, maybe even fall, theoretically it shouldn’t keep tangling, especially with all humans around, it’s not worth it.
Unless...
A thought flashed, his eyes subtly glowed red, powerful perception extending all around.
Upon becoming an Interdiate Wizard Apprentice, he also mastered a Zero Ring Magic.
Fiery Fire Crown!
This magic could enhance affinity with fire to a certain extent and promote the sensing of spiritual power.
With the blessing of Fla Heart, at this point, Lynn’s perception even exceeded that of a regular Advanced Wizard Apprentice.
Soon...
Found it!
"Zing!"
The sword sang lightly, like a treasured sword being unsheathed, a crisscrossing sword light burst through the gap in the conflict.
Holy Cross Swordsmanship!
Top-tier martial arts passed down from the Holy Hall, blood from Lynn’s hand, instantly blasting the Two-Horned Demon away.
Though not enough to kill, it was enough to capture a mont’s reprieve.
"Whiz!"
His figure flickered, and the Knight Sword swung repeatedly in front, smashing through walls, revealing a hidden figure behind them.
"It’s you?"
Lynn recognized Jeff, a slight change in expression, then darted forward.
"No..."
"Ah!"

In a hidden, desolate room.
Lynn looked at Jeff, bound like a mummy, playing idly with a sharp dagger in his hand.
"Are you sure you won’t talk?"
"Heh..." Jeff’s face was deathly pale, body slightly trembling, shaking his head to say:
"Kill if you must, if I talk not only would I die, but all related to would also die."
"Lynn."
He gritted his teeth, glaring angrily:
"Don’t expect to extract anything from , I’m a Wizard Apprentice too, I know the mory Sealing Technique."
"mory Sealing Technique?" Lynn chuckled, shaking his head:
"You think I have no thods against you?"
"Hmph!"
Jeff snorted, closing his eyes, ignoring him.
He didn’t only train in the mory Sealing Technique, but also the Soul Locking Spell, allowing consciousness to detach from the body.
So, no matter how Lynn tortured him, he could ignore it as he couldn’t feel pain.
"Alright then!"
Lynn nodded, lightly opening his hand, the dagger in his grip imdiately engulfed by rolling flas.
As the fla dissipated, the dagger was lted down into tiny steel needles.
"Have you ever heard of a Puppetry Technique, which allows people to be used as marionette puppets?"
"Whiz!"
The steel needle lightly quivered in Lynn’s hand, then plunged into Jeff’s head, disappearing within.
"Whiz!"
"Whiz whiz!"
Needle after needle followed into Jeff’s head, heart, and limbs, bonded by a chilling sensation.
Puppetry Technique!
This is an eerie spell from the Witch Demon’s legacy.
Lynn, possessing vast mories of his own, found thods like the Breaking Realm mory Sealing Technique with ease.
However, clearly, he intended more than identifying who ordered Jeff.
Weighing the gourd in his hand, Lynn faintly smiled, placing the newly refined gourd in Jeff’s hand.
The gourd contained a Horned Demon.
The very one that ambushed him.
"I’ve reforged this item; the next ti you awaken the Horned Demon, it will go berserk and attack everything nearby, even an Official Wizard would struggle to stop it."
Patting the top of Jeff’s head, Lynn slowly stood up:
"Take it, find that person, and let him personally witness the gift I’ve prepared for him."
"..." Jeff looked up, facial muscles twitching wildly before his expression gradually cald, nodding:
"Yes."
