。 Chapter 162: Shadow Demon

“…………！！！“

Christy gasped.

She tightened her body and clutched the cloak she was wearing, but the oncoming evil, cold force still made her a little unsupportable. It wasn't like the cold and damp air in the cellar, but something deeper into the marrow. Even though she was blocked by a huge adamantite shield, Christy still seemed to see the shadow of death coming at her. The indistinct screams in her ears grew louder and louder, with obvious anger and malice coming at the girl.

The girl's body began to tremble, and she staggered back two steps, until Anne reached out and pressed her shoulder, which stabilized the girl's body, and Christy looked up curiously and uneasily, only to see Anne give her a playful smile and wink.

"Don't worry, with the head of the regiment, there's no problem. With these guys, there is no way to compare with the regimental commander. ”

Anne said, grinning and touching Christy's head, then looking ahead.

And at this moment, a shadow more than three meters high has also arrived in the square.

"It's Shadow Fiend! Spread out! Lijie, Marlene, go up! The rest are in charge of ghouls and the undead! Remember to drink your medicine! ”

Seeing the dark shadow in front of him, Rhodes's heart sank, and he reversed his previous silence and quickly opened his mouth to give an order. Hearing his order, the mercenaries immediately retreated, and they took the potion from their waists, and then a faint wind barrier appeared on their sides. And at this moment, Lijie raised her right hand. The divine shield that had shrouded the mercenaries immediately turned into the purest energy and returned to her hands, turning into bright balls of light that emitted a soft light.

Marlene quickly changed her position, and the staff in her hand waved in the air, bringing ripples one after another, and then these ripples gradually solidified in the air, turning into a magic shield that rotated repeatedly, and it was only at this time that Marlene let out a low cry, and with her movements, those runes on the ground began to burn again, turning into a raging fire.

But to Marlene's surprise, the Shadow Fiend did not flinch from the wall of fire it had created, but instead straightened up, then stretched out its right hand and threw it forward.

The dark and slender claws of the Shadow Demon suddenly stretched out at this moment, and like a whip, it flew through the wall of fire and struck at Marlene.

If it was Marlene when she had just entered the mercenary group, she would only have to wait obediently for death in the face of the sudden attack of the Shadow Demon, but fortunately, after such a long time of training, Marlene is no longer the rookie who was scared to death as soon as she was close to her, and in the face of the right claw of the Shadow Demon passing through the wall, she was a little surprised "Hey", and then immediately subconsciously flashed to the side. I saw the Shadow Demon's right hand just like that, grazing the girl's side, and hitting the ground hard, leaving a deep mark.

"Don't use fire elemental spells, this guy is immune to fire elementals!"

Rhodes stepped up to Marlene's side and held her back, whispering a warning. In fact, in Rod's heart, he was also secretly surprised.

You must know that the Shadow Demons are not small fish and shrimp like undead and ghouls, they are born in the second layer of Hell and belong to the subordinates of the devil, although these Shadow Demons are not very powerful in Hell, but they are definitely a headache on the surface. What's more, they were born in the Scorching Hell, which was originally a heaven of flames, and it was pointless for such a guy to use fire attribute spells.

"Use more water elemental spells, be careful to keep your distance from it, this guy's claws will be extended, it's troublesome, don't try to resist its attack." ..., "Good, Mr. Rod." ”

Hearing Rod's warning, Marlene nodded and subconsciously took two steps back. Originally, it was very important for mages to distance themselves from each other, but at the moment, it seems that the distance between them is still not far enough.

"Celia!"

After admonishing Marlene, Rhodes immediately raised his sword and pointed forward, and the angel girl then spread her wings, and turned her sword into a dazzling meteor, and pounced towards the target in front of her.

"Damn it! What the hell is going on?! ”

Looking at all this in front of him, the black robe was extremely angry.

After all, he had made enough mistakes this night.

At first, he thought that these mercenaries would not be the opponents of the undead, but soon Rhodes took the mercenaries and slapped him hard. Then he felt that he had enough strength to stay and even kill the war angel girl, but the sudden disappearance of the angel girl was another heavy slap in the face. And even if the eyes were fanned, the black robe did not give up, in his opinion, no matter what, the angel girl had consumed a lot of energy in the previous battle, although I don't know how she escaped. But the black robe could clearly see that Celia had indeed been hit hard by the Shadow Demon before, which meant that she must have been injured, so even if she fled back to the man's side, it would not pose any threat.

The dream is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. This sudden cruel reality made the black robe stunned, and he didn't know what to say at all——— Celia's brave figure at this moment turned into a third slap, and the black robe who was slapped with a slap couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south.

At this moment, the black robe really wants to have the urge to look up at the sky, cry three times and laugh three times, the holy soul is above, Lord Dragon God, you are playing with me!

In a sense, he guessed right.

Indeed, during the previous battle with the Shadow Fiend, Celia was seriously injured due to excessive attrition. However, at this moment, Rod, who had been in contact with Celia, made a very rogue act......... He took back the "Holy Sword Star Trace" counter-summon, and then re-summoned it.........

Although summoning elves are also lifeforms, they are different from contract elves, which are lives in other planes, and the mage's contract spells are at most to open this channel, and then pull them to this plane through the power of magic to help them fight. However, the nature of summoning elves is completely opposite, as living beings, they themselves are lodged on inanimate cards, which makes them a little more inorganic. In the case of Celia, her defense level is "7", which means that if a monster with an attack power of "8" or higher injures her and breaks through her defense, then according to this numerical standard, Celia's defense will be reduced to "-1", so that even if she returns to the card, she will still be damaged. But on the other hand, if the opponent's attack power is within "7" or less, even if Celia's defense is reduced to "0", as long as it is not negative, then when Rhodes takes back the card and summons again, the summoned spirit will be resurrected in full health on the spot.

The same is true for Shadow Fiend's attack on Celia, if Celia was not seriously injured and fell to the ground but was killed in an instant, then she would have to go through a period of repair before she could recover her state. But if she wasn't killed in seconds, then Rhodes only had to take back the card and summon it again, and soon the angel girl would be alive again.

Of course, the poor black robe didn't know the reason for this, he could only cry without tears, looking up at the sky speechlessly, and watching the dazzling figure in the night sky rush towards the shadow demon, but he didn't know what to do at all. He knew that he had lost badly this time, in fact, from the beginning, he had already stepped into an unsolvable circle like a gambler——— he lost money at the beginning, but he did not give up, but wanted to earn it back. With this in mind, he bet again, and then lost again. It's a pity that by this time, he didn't even have the qualifications to regret it, so he could only grit his teeth and press everything down, trying to finally turn the tables. ..., but alas, now it seems that he lost the bet.

"Damn it, damn it!!"

The black robe held his hands tightly and roared in a low voice, he knew that he was finished. Even if he withdrew all the undead now——— Shadow Fiend was rewarded for serving the devil for twenty years, and it was only possible to use it once, and if it weren't for the fact that the rewards of this adventure were so rich, he wouldn't have planned to take the risk in the first place. But now it looks like he's completely failed.

"No...... It's not over yet........."

As soon as he thought of what kind of punishment the Devil Grand Guild would give himself after getting the news of defeat, it made the black robe chill, and he had no way out, since this was the case.........

Thinking of this, the black robe raised his head and looked at the girl in the distance in the middle of the square, protected by Anne.

"Christie......... This is what you should do for me, come on, come to me! ”

The black robe said viciously, and then, he stretched out his hands, and soon, two black flames burst out from his palms, engulfing him in the blink of an eye, and disappeared.

The situation on the field has not been deflected by the addition of Shadow Fiend.

Flying in the night sky, the resurrected Celia entangled it, forcing the tall shadow devil to stop his steps, facing the bright figure flying around him, the shadow demon shouted angrily, waving his hands and striking around. But this time, Celia, who had been prepared for a long time, naturally did not let it succeed like before, she flapped her wings calmly and calmly, dodging the other party's attack. And just when the Shadow Demon missed another swing, with the sound of whistling wind, dozens of ice-condensed long swords quickly attacked it, feeling the cold chill, the Shadow Demon roared, and then it moved forward with both hands, and soon, shadows like mist sprayed out from its hands, and those ice swords melted into it like this, and disappeared.

Although Marlene's attack didn't do enough damage to the Shadow Fiend, it managed to contain its movements, and that's when Lijie attacked.
