The Demon King Mode System

CHAPTER 53: THE DEVIL ALSO NEEDS EQUIPMENT

In order to speed up the march, Xeron left a small portion of the troops behind and had them escort the siege equipment and slowly pursue. This task, at Roy's suggestion, was left to Fat Tiger, who led a group of hellhounds and little demons, to escort this equipment.

Fat Tiger reluctantly parted with Roy and continued to rub Roy's feet. But Roy wants him to escort the equipment to prevent him from facing danger. In the coming days, this demon army could meet with an army of united elves at any time. Roy was worried that Fat Tiger would get injured on the chaotic battlefield, so he left him to catch up slowly.

　

　

The effect of the increase in march speed was immediately felt. The AvLee elves have evacuated the civilians due to the invasion of the demon army. There were scattered villages everywhere, and the elves were fleeing east towards the elven capital. Originally, they could have entered the city before the arrival of the demon army, but Xeron's demon army suddenly accelerated. Many migrating elves were caught off guard and caught in the middle of the road.

If these migrating elves were only a snack, then the meeting with the major elf power division on the fourth day was a feast.

　

　

The division was led by a druid named Uland. The target of the demon army was the Golden Dragon Queen, and even arrogantly sent out a letter of challenge to the elves. This news had spread among the elves, and druids everywhere were furious. In order to stop the demons from succeeding, they successively left the cities where they were stationed and rushed to support the golden dragon nest.

The Golden Dragon Queen's nest was about fifty kilometers away from the elven capital, Middleham. They are both on the east side of the country. Now that Xeron and his army were also heading in this direction, it was no wonder that they would meet the retreating elf army.

　

　

The power led by the Druid Uland was immense and comparable to Xeron's army. A fierce battle began when the two sides met.

In this battle, the high ranked demon Xeron displayed incredible magical power. When he met a small-scale army, he did not use much magic, but it was impossible not to do it now. If he allowed the troops to fight on their own, even if it won, it would sacrifice a drastically reduced number of troops. So from the beginning of the battle, Xeron, who was surrounded by troops, raised his scythe. Magic light continuously emanated from his scythe and covered the demon army with spells like Shield, Stone Skin, Fire Shield, Bloodthirsty Killer, and Precision.

Roy was naturally fascinated as well. At this moment, he was amazed by Xeron's magical power. If Roy were to use Bloodlust on himself, he would barely be able to fight Xeron in terms of physical strength alone. But once Xeron's powerful magic appears, he can easily take Roy down.

Even for demons, there was a limit to their body strength. But magic is different. Not only can you enchant yourself, but you can also weaken the enemy. This change would result in a huge difference in combat power. After being enchanted with all kinds of spells, Roy, a low-level demon, can easily fight against an army of middle-level elves.

　

　

The Uland Druid army not only had dwarves, wood fairies, and silver pegasi, but also many dendroid and unicorn guards!

Unicorns are snow-white horses that are fit and very muscular. On their foreheads were long, spiral-shaped, and pointed horns. As this unicorn gathered to attack, it was quite formidable and terrifying. The demon army could be destroyed at any time, so this unicorn became the priority of the demon army to be annihilated.

Before the unicorns can assemble and attack, Xeron has done Mass Slow on them. Thick and thick mud appeared on their feet, greatly inhibiting their movement. Using this opportunity, Roy and a group of demons and long-horned evil spirits immediately surrounded and started killing them.

Roy is fighting a unicorn that emits a pure aura, making Roy, the devil, very uncomfortable. After all, in legends, unicorns were both holy beings and controlled demons. Therefore, Roy was very careful from the start. Although the unicorn cannot attack, it can still move its head and use its horns to attack. Roy was much taller and naturally had a much wider area where he could be injured, making him easier to get stabbed by his horns.

However, when the real fight begins, Roy realizes that this unicorn is…

When Roy tried to attack this unicorn from the side, he was knocked down by its horn. However, Roy had the Leather Stone and Shield spell that Xeron had cast, as well as the air wall solidified by his Psychokinesis to dampen the impact, so only his chest felt a little stiff!

　

　

The unicorn squealed as it fell. Several hundred kilograms hit the ground violently, creating a loud bang. As he waved his four nails and tried to get back up, Roy's right claw pierced his neck.

Bright red blood stained the pure white fur. Roy gives the unicorn no chance to fight back, stabbing its claws in and out to kill it.

In the battle of life and death, there was no room for mercy…

After the unicorn died, the soul quickly floated out. However, the size of this soul was extremely small!

It was a legendary creature, but his soul was nothing unique about him. The size and quality of the soul is not related to the strength of the being, but to its spiritual wisdom. Although the unicorn was sacred, this type of creature was very simple-minded. They were more like wild beasts than intelligent beings, so it was no wonder that their souls were small.

But for Roy, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are also meat. In this chaotic battlefield, it was a very good opportunity for him to obtain a soul, so he did not let this soul go. After quickly storing it in the system, Roy headed straight for his next target.

On the battlefield, it could be said that Xeron's magic actually suppressed the Druid Uland. As a fairy, Uland loved nature and peace and thus was intrinsically different from demons like Xeron. High-level demons like Xeron loved to fight and kill, and their practical use of magic far surpassed Uland. Although Uland tried his best to use magic to help his own troops, the quality and quantity of his magic was not comparable to Xeron.

　

　

Xeron's charm covered a much wider area than Uland could have, his spell lasted longer, and even his casting speed was faster. Like this, how could Uland be a match for Xeron?

Although both sides had the same amount at the beginning, the weaknesses of the elves started to look slowly as time went on. The demon army had many magical charms, resulting in a stronger military force. Often, demons could kill two, three, or even more elves. Even the dendroid guards with thick skin died one after another under the siege of the demons.

Uland is not stupid. After realizing he could not win, he worked to keep his troops as close as possible. He stopped casting support magic and started calling Fire Walls non-stop to try to separate the two sides.

As flames raged on the battlefield, Uland began to gather his troops, preparing to flee.

Xeron was definitely unwilling to let Uland escape, so he frequently shot Chain Lightning at the remaining Uland troops. However, Chain Lightning could not tell the difference between its enemies and its troops. If they got too close, he would probably attack them as well.

Roy walks around the battlefield and seizes souls while Xeron does not notice. As a result, Chain Lightning suddenly jumped over and crashed into him.

The lightning is too fast. By the time Roy saw it, it was too late to dodge. He became paralyzed from the attack!

Fortunately, this Chain Lightning was not very powerful at the end of his jump, so he was only paralyzed, not charred like an elf who had just been hit. Even so, Roy could not move for a while. If it wasn't for Uland rallying his army to retreat, his paralysis meant he would have been attacked.

　

　

After a while, Roy was finally able to start moving around a bit. He gritted his teeth and quickly began to gather souls again.

Roy had thought about it before. In this magical world, he was sure it was necessary to obtain an anti-magic equipment. After being struck by that Chain Lightning, he felt it was even more urgent now.

Immediately, as long as he gathered enough souls, he could implement his plan …
