[Private] Flute Hero: Don't worry, the boss can't really unleash his full power in a place that's too small. Look how big he is already.
Anyway, when the demons come, just watch us!
The rest area on the second floor is not located in the rooms, but in a large hall on the other side of the second floor.
A room that can accommodate a demon who is three or four meters tall is already very spacious, let alone the hall.
In Miluko's view, this was already the size of a large conference hall.
She...likes dark corners.
So this place is a bit too spacious!
The location was chosen by Blazer, and she didn't dare to voice her opinions to the seemingly fierce-looking Blazer. She only dared to secretly tell Franti.
[Private] Hero of the Thorns: Okay... alright...
Milu said weakly, "I'll go...find a place where it's easy to observe. Call me if anything happens."
Before Blazer could even turn around after speaking, Miluko had already vanished from the spot.
Blazer raised an eyebrow, then crouched down next to Franti and whispered, "Miss Thorn Hero, you wouldn't happen to want to see how we perform, would you?"
"I think so?" Franti smiled.
Although Miluko appears timid and hesitant, she is considered a pioneer among the heroes in the Saintess Squad.
Even though they were heroes of the same generation, Milu was like a senior to them.
He's already called the "Hero of the Thorns," and he doesn't talk much, always silently hiding beside An Yi, practically inseparable from her, like An Yi's shadow.
Therefore, all four members of the Fighting Heroes team felt that Milu was definitely a ruthless and taciturn character!
The exceptional anti-tracking capabilities demonstrated this morning, coupled with the fact that they eliminated all trackers in less than ten seconds, further solidified the Fighting Warriors team's belief in this fact.
I always forgot the name of the fourth member of the Saintess Squad, but now it seems that the [Thorn Hero] is quite a formidable expert!
Blazer thought to himself that this was their first battle against the Saintess Squad, and they definitely had to perform well!
Milu was terrified by Blazer's appearance and size; she was terrible at dealing with people who looked so intimidating.
So they hid.
Meanwhile, on the third floor.
9. Instead of looking for a corner room, Lycorina and Annie chose a room relatively close to the stairs while maintaining a certain distance from the three people on the second floor.
Neither of them stayed in the room, because Lycorina said she wanted to walk around the building.
"By the way, Annie, why did you choose that room? Couldn't we have stayed a little further apart? That way we'd have more room to maneuver, right?" Lycorina asked.
Having been a hero for so long, she was no longer the pampered saintess who knew nothing about combat; she had begun to develop some insights into battle.
She unconditionally trusted An Yi's choice, but also wanted to understand An Yi's specific thoughts.
"No, we don't need to play games."
"All the umbrella needs to do is guard the stairwell."
Listen to An Yi's words;
"The building has three floors. The enemy's tactic is most likely to start by besieging the first floor, eliminating one mage first, and thus reducing our combat strength more quickly."
Therefore, the attack on the first floor should be the most intense.
Meanwhile, to prevent us from meeting up, they will attack the second and third floors simultaneously, delaying our time.
The ones coming up the stairs won't be their main force, and their numbers won't be too large, so it's best to defend from the stairs.
"Demons can sense magical power. They can immediately realize the casualties on the third floor. In order to prevent us from going down to provide support, more demons will come up."
Just kill them for a while, and the situation downstairs should be over.
Ultimately, they weren't really trying to protect anything; they just wanted to take the opportunity to capture a few people and interrogate them about the black market.
"Wouldn't that make things much easier for us?" Lycorina suddenly realized.
An Yi: "Yes."
“How about we switch with Mr. Layton and the others and go to the first floor? It seems like the first floor would be more fun,” Lycorina said with a smile.
Annie: "No, that's too much trouble."
It was just killing a bunch of low-level demons.
……
Let's go back to the present, which is a few hours ago.
It was late at night, around three or four in the morning, still far from dawn. This was the best time for a sneak attack, as most of the demons were in a deep sleep.
At first, only one or two dark figures appeared near the building, but then more and more of them began to appear, gathering in a large and imposing manner from different directions of the street.
They made almost no sound, like fish swimming in the dark, moving forward silently.
Instead of making strange noises like goblins, they swarmed around the building, making their way to the entrance, and finally...
They filed in! (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the initial sentence.)
[Creature: Round-mouthed Devil Fish]
Strength: 40 Agility: 45 Stamina: 10
Resilience: 5 Magic: 5 Intelligence: 2
Tip: 15
Their heads and bodies are connected, and they have streamlined bodies like octopuses. They have six pairs of pale small eyes on their heads, and below them, round mouthparts surround sharp teeth, which extend deep into the oral cavity layer by layer.
The streamlined body is flanked by slender limbs, with the two front paws being more robust and developed than the hind legs.
They usually travel in groups, and all of them are level five or higher demons.
Even a four-person team of level 50 or above would likely be wiped out if they encountered this group of high-strength and high-agility units.
Their agility is a full 25 points higher than that of a Goblin Centurion of the same level!
Apart from the highly agile warrior in the team, the other members of the level 50 squad simply couldn't keep up with the opponent's speed.
This is the danger of the demon race.
These demons are much harder to deal with than goblins.
A large number of round-mouthed demon fish surged toward the direction of the magic they sensed, their extremely high agility allowing them to approach their target within half a minute.
However... they didn't pay any attention, and after entering the building, it suddenly became a little colder.
The instant they entered, a message appeared in the chat group;
【Ice Warrior: Here comes, Jiu; ≥咝'粑.—Ai,ˇ牭}⊙叁弎＾」嶺/〓舞仲ＱN: There are many.】
In the chill that filled the first floor of the building, he sensed the approaching enemy.
Before long, the entire first floor of the building was almost entirely filled with these bizarre-looking creatures.
They didn't attack immediately, but waited until their numbers reached a certain level...
"Click."
A round-mouthed demon fish raised its hands high and struck a match.
"Om-"
The next moment, a large number of round-mouthed demon fish surged toward the room where the three heroes were and the stairs leading upstairs!
In this pitch-black building, even the slightest spark of light would appear exceptionally bright.
The round-mouthed demon fish in front began to charge, and those behind followed closely behind. None of the round-mouthed demon fish that stepped into the building realized that the ground beneath their feet was somewhat damp.
"Freeze it!"
Suddenly, a voice in an unintelligible language came from inside the room—
"Gara gara—"
The sound of ice forming rang out, and the damp ground instantly became slippery. The charging round-mouthed demon fish slipped and fell directly to the ground. They scrambled forward and pulled themselves up, sliding on the ground with their limbs, unable to get up at all!
Hundreds and thousands of round-mouthed demon fish had their charging rhythm completely disrupted!
Chapter 165 So exciting! So awesome!! (4k)
In fact, the place where the round-mouthed magic fish lives needs to be a moist mud pit.
Sliding through vast expanses of mud is their most primitive way of moving.
In other words, the slippery road surface is not a major problem for them; in fact, it can be considered an advantage.
but……
The sudden slippery surface disrupted their rhythm. Putting aside any advantages, most of the round-mouthed demon fish couldn't even stand up for a short time, let alone move using the ice.
At this very moment, the three people in the room on the first floor have already started killing!
The round-mouthed demon fish silently swarmed into the room, filling half the space almost instantly.
Golden fur grew out of the previously hairless face of the Lion Warrior Xingu, and his face began to change to resemble that of a lion.
His arms began to swell, his muscles bulged, and his hands, which originally had five fingers, began to grow larger, growing golden hair and turning into claws like those of a lion.
"Roar--!!"
[Skill: Lion's Roar]
The first group of round-mouthed demon fish that rushed into the room trembled at the roar.
"puff!!"
Numerous ice spikes flew from the depths of the room, piercing directly through the bodies of more than a dozen round-mouthed demon fish.
"Okay! I'll do it too!!"
Layton laughed and charged at the group of monsters, carrying a large stone slab as tall as a person.
This is a shield obtained from the battle against the Rock Giants!
Fragments of the Rock Giant's Skin
"Wow?!!"
