Nightmare City. (Poem by Ji)
"I'm back here again, but why didn't I see any reminder from the High God?" Yi
Lycorina had already stepped through the city gates when she realized there had been no notification indicating she had entered the city.
"Anyi, did you see that?" (The wine)
“No,” Annie said. “It seems the lord here is dead.”
He is the lord.
And he thus confirmed that when other heroes entered his city, they couldn't see the relevant system prompts. (Eight)
But he can see it himself; it's like a reminder that he's returned to his own territory, right?
"I see!" Lycorina exclaimed in sudden realization. "The lord died, and a new lord didn't appear, which is why we couldn't see the High God's reminder!"
“It should be,” Annie replied.
"Haha! I never expected this!" Layton suddenly laughed for some reason.
It was An Yi who decided to come here.
The three members of the Saintess Squad had heard from An Yi on the way that the other party attacked the heroes for some unknown reason, and An Yi was investigating along the way.
During the investigation, he also considered whether it was because of [Formless], so he returned to the city.
After all, in the incident of [Formless], the heroes couldn't be said to have done everything perfectly. As long as the demons investigated, it wouldn't be difficult for them to find out anything.
It shouldn't be difficult to at least find out that the heroes have been to this city.
Moreover, the heroes in this city did not deliberately hide their appearance, nor did they kill everyone who saw them.
It's not impossible that the other side suspects the hero and his group took the [Formless] and then sends a group of high-level demons to stake out different low-level demon cities.
After staking out and discovering the heroes, they put them to sleep in an attempt to steal the [Formless], but were eventually driven away by An Yi.
As for why the other side only put everyone to sleep instead of killing them immediately, that's even easier to explain.
The other side doesn't know the heroes' strength either, so isn't it normal for them to test the waters first?
It's definitely better to kill the heroes while they're asleep than to fight them while they're awake.
Even if this claim isn't entirely true, and is even somewhat far-fetched, it's not entirely impossible.
The three members of the Saintess Squad didn't think much of it, only that An Yi was meticulous and didn't overlook any possibility.
Even if something has an extremely low probability of happening, as long as the probability isn't zero, it's still possible for it to happen.
An Yi had already explained to them on the way here why they came.
Upon entering the city, he spoke again;
"During the investigation, I discovered that the city had undergone a major reshuffle because of the [Formless] incident."
This city is in its most chaotic moment. (Wu)
This is also the most convenient time for us to intervene.
"Perfect, let's start here."
As Annie spoke, she and the three of them strolled slowly through the city.
Around the four, the succubi, who had already received their orders, began to move.
On the street, several tall demons sitting on the steps suddenly stood up and walked towards the four members of the Saintess Squad.
"Hey! You guys are from out of town, right? You don't seem like locals."
Outsiders entering the city must abide by our rules!
Take out your valuables...
"Oh!"
An Yi suddenly stepped forward and kicked the demon who was speaking with a loud thud.
With a deafening explosion, the demon seemed to be struck by a giant hammer, its body instantly bursting apart, blood and flesh flying everywhere. Shattered white bones and deep purple flesh rained down on the surrounding demons and the street, and sticky blood was instantly splattered within several meters in front of it.
Limbs and head flew out in different directions, landing on various parts of the street like trash, startling the surrounding demons.
"rule?
"I am the rule." Annie glanced indifferently at the street.
The succubi in the corner: "Lord Dream is so handsome!!"
Miluko: "...!"
Rules? I am the rules...!
That line was so cool!!
Chapter 44 Demon Clan Organization: [Chaotic Demons] (4k)
In An Yi's eyes, all demons who could not control their hostility upon smelling the scent of a foreign race were enemies.
It doesn't matter whether the other person is on the street or at home, or whether they are an ordinary demon or a demon noble.
These demons were born to exterminate other races. Regardless of what race their ancestors were before they were "demonized," they are demons now.
They would not hesitate to kill humans.
Therefore, An Yi wouldn't have any thoughts about killing them.
Based on past experience, when the Saintess Squad arrives in a new city, the first thing they need to do is find a place to stay.
but……
"Since we're already here, let's go and take over an organization first."
An Yi said calmly, then looked around.
"I killed that demon leader called Black Ghost. I don't know who's in charge of his territory now."
However, whoever is in power has only been in power for a short time, and now is a good time to seize it.
“Anyi definitely did a special investigation,” Lycorina said with a slight smile, leaning closer to Miluko.
“Mm.” Milu nodded.
Based on their understanding of An Yi, it was obvious that An Yi had already conducted prior investigations, which was why her target was so clear.
Skipping the intelligence gathering step and going straight to the target, even if An Yi pretends it's a well-thought-out decision, his actions don't lie.
"I did a little investigation, but our strength has long surpassed that of all the demons here. We can do whatever we want."
This is the rule here.
Just do what you need to do; there's no need to waste time.
With An Yi's hearing, she could naturally hear their whispers, and besides, they weren't lowering their voices.
Layton: "Indeed!"
An Yi had previously instructed all the heroes to act with extreme caution because they were still in the early stages and their strength was far too weak.
Even if Qi were in Baron City at that time, it would be difficult for her to escape if she offended a large number of demons, so she had to hide as much as possible to reduce the hatred from the demons.
Now, the four members of the Saintess Squad are capable of easily conquering Viscount City. No matter how much hatred they attract in this low-level demon city, they can kill them at will.
Even if the entire city were against them, they could still carve out a bloody path through the enemy lines.
Just like dealing with high-level demons, no matter how many ordinary human armies you send and use human wave tactics, it won't work.
It's pointless for low-level demons to face high-level heroes.
He led the three of them to the former headquarters of a certain "black man," which was actually the place where the succubi first occupied.
There's only a group of puppet demons inside, not even worth mentioning in terms of combat power. They just randomly grabbed some larger demons to keep things under control.
It had originally been cleared out by Aria and Elsa, and only the succubus [Nightmare] remained inside.
Even those who interact with various legitimate organizations in the city are puppets directly controlled by the succubus.
However, in order to put on a show for the Saintess Squad, they captured some Lucky Demons and "locked" them up inside.
From afar, a tall building came into view, guarded by two giant dog demons, each four meters tall.
The other side also noticed the four members of the Saintess's team approaching menacingly, and spoke in demonic language from their dog mouths:
"Stop! This is the headquarters of [Black Dog]! Who are you looking for? Have you made an appointment?"
"Haha~ Why did you choose a name that sounds like 'black devil'?" Lycorina chuckled beside her.
Annie: "You have no taste."
He just made it up on the spot. 4
"Zi! Zhi!"
Two beams of light pierced the skulls of the two giant dogs, black smoke billowing from the pierced flesh.
Lycorina casually made a move, and two level-five demons died right at her doorstep.
The four of them easily broke into the building.
Perhaps sensing an intruder, howls erupted from within the building, and a multitude of giant dogs of various colors attacked from all directions.
An Yi, wielding Ireif's sword, casually flicked out a few wind blades, slicing the charging giant hound in two. 8
Lycorina extended her staff, and arrows of light rained down, piercing through every giant hound.
They didn't even have time to attack before they all died on the ground, leaving corpses strewn everywhere, a truly horrifying sight.
They slaughtered their way from the first floor to the top floor in less than five minutes. The giant dogs along the way didn't waste a single second of their time; they basically killed wherever they went.
Upon reaching the top-floor office, one finds that the leader of this pack of giant dogs is a dog-headed man who kills them instantly, giving them no time to react.
"From today onwards, this place belongs to us."
As Annie spoke, she picked up the dog-headed man's corpse and threw it out of the building.
"Then...should we clean up first?" Layton grinned, thinking to himself that they had wiped out a demon organization so quickly.
He hasn't even figured out how to proceed with the next step!
After eliminating the demon organization, what's next?
