Compared to the Empire, the Demon Kingdom is somewhat lacking in resources, and the people's livelihood is even more severely affected during the war. However, its advantage still exists, namely its outstanding combat power.
Monsters possess combat power from birth. Many monsters do not need to grow up or be trained. They can be put to use immediately once they emerge from the monster pool or are transformed into monsters at the cost of their flesh and blood.
Therefore, some things can be safely taught to monsters.
...
Satan Ye recalled Ira's demonstration that morning, vaguely remembering... the pitch-black mana condensed on Ira's pitch-black spear, generating enormous wind pressure. The pitch-black wind transformed into a spiral shape, constantly rotating on the spear and tearing apart the surrounding air.
Visually, it appeared as if black, illusory silk was constantly spinning and dancing on the knight's lance, enveloping the lance held by Ira along with his right arm.
According to Ira, this is a technique called "Spiral Shot Kill," a signature attack often used by Satan Ye's father... So, did her father really know how to use a scythe properly?
They used the scythe entirely as a mana launcher.
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz!!"
A tremendous roar came from beside Satan Ye. With a considerable gust of wind blowing, Satan Ye squinted to avoid the flying sand and stones, while glancing at Lotia, who was also practicing beside him.
Just like Ira had demonstrated before, Lotia raised her knight's lance high, and the violent and struggling magic spun rapidly, tearing at the surrounding air.
The gale seemed to be an extension of the spear, the constantly spiraling black mana expanding the spear's length, and then, without a doubt, the trigger was pulled with words, along with the release of magic.
Lotia was unaware that Satan was watching her. She slowly pointed her lance at the distance, then withdrew her arm like a snake preparing to attack, using this as a pretext to pull the trigger: "Spiral Lance Kill!"
"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"
As the spear was fired, a pure storm was launched in an instant. Almost instantly, a spiraling spear with extremely strong penetrating power shot out, although its specific power could not be seen because it did not hit anything.
However, the ensuing massive storm spreading from the direction of Lotia made Satan Leaf almost unable to stand steadily.
At that moment, Lotia noticed that Satan Ye had been staring at her since earlier. She quickly went up to him, who was clutching the hem of his skirt, and asked, "Demon King?"
"No, I'm fine."
As Satan Ye spoke, she gently shook her head, looking at the useless little ornaments that were blown away on the terrace... Could this combat technique really be this powerful?
If an entire squad of headless knights could unleash [Spiral Shot], wouldn't they be able to crush the armies of most countries? Well, as long as they don't encounter a governor.
"Huff...huff...huff..."
Lotia, panting slightly, noticed Satan Ye's gaze. Knowing what he was thinking, she spoke up, "This method consumes too much of Mana's power and cannot be used as a regular method. Once we've used it all up, we won't even be able to open the path to the Netherworld."
The so-called "Path of the Underworld" has already been demonstrated in previous marches. Where the headless knight passes, patterns resembling wailing souls will appear on the ground, allowing other troops to march quickly.
"Although the Spiral Shot seems powerful, not every Headless Horseman has the strength I use, just like Mr. Ira's Spiral Shot was several times stronger than the one I'm using now."
Lotia explained it this way, she had no doubt that if Ira's Spiral Shot, which had attracted all the other leaders, had been released on flat ground, it would have created a very deep trench along the entire stretch of land in front of them.
After thinking it over, Lotia decided to tell Satan Ye some knowledge about war. Although this should be Ira's job, he probably wouldn't care. She said, "Moreover, in war, the Netherworld Path is usually more useful than the Spiral Shot."
After all, marching speed is an extremely crucial factor.
"Hmm... what should I do?"
Satanye pondered this, the crimson mana coiling around the scythe in her hand, but instead of gradually transforming into that enormous spiral, it erupted directly after two or three spirals.
It made a "poof!" sound.
It's like knocking an ordinary adult human to the ground, and then the other person can easily get up and rub their butt. Trying to deal with a combat class is nonsense. It's so powerful that even the chanting of a weak academic mage can't be interrupted.
"Mr. Ira said he'll come back this afternoon, so let him teach you in detail then..."
Lothia said this, explaining that she would later go back and teach this technique to the other Headless Horsemen. After the Headless Horsemen were "newly minted," she could directly teach them the "Spiral Shot" technique.
We can specifically assign a few of the best Headless Horsemen to serve as professional instructors at the Headless Horsemen's altar.
"..."
"but……"
As Satanye spoke, she attempted to re-condense the scarlet mana. This time, the mana extending from her body was more solid and stable, transforming into something even sharper.
After it started spinning, it seemed to turn into something like a "measuring tape storm".
"..."
However, Lotia understood what Satan Ye meant. She smiled... even though she had no head, she still smiled and said, "I understand. Then let me share some experience with you before Mr. Ira returns."
——————————
"Sorry for the delay, but the production line for [Bee Flower Snow Moon] has been initially established. Next, we need to gradually improve production safety and reduce the scrap rate, etc. I have already assigned these tasks to Vera and the fairies."
As Ira said this, he looked at the crimson and black spirals reflecting each other in the sky, standing nonchalantly in what seemed like a dangerous spot, and said with some surprise, "Hey, you guys learn really fast... How about I see the power of this attack?"
"[Spiral Shot Kill]!"
"[Spiral Shot Kill]!"
As the chanting began, a storm, rotating rhythmically like a work of art, immediately flew out, drawing a beautiful straight line in the air and shattering all the air in its path.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"
"Boom boom boom!"
It passed.
As Ira thought this, he reached out and patted Satan Ye's head and Lotia's...shoulder, praising, "Good, good, good, you are really talented."
Lotia: "Thank you for the compliment."
Hehehe.
As Ira praised him, Satan Yeh just smiled foolishly, then subtly handed the scythe to his left hand, hiding his trembling right hand behind his back.
