Chapter 194 Demon Puppet Boundary Marker, Demon Puppet
There weren't many people from the other side, but their approach to the stone tablet must have been for some purpose.
After discovering that the rest of the boundary markers had been destroyed, the Yuan tribe became extremely cautious and sent people to keep a close watch on the boundary marker near them.
Report any unusual situation immediately.
Sure enough, that's exactly what happened.
The Yuan tribe sent out eight people on patrol, and two of them, Laiyi and Saiya, returned to the tribe. However, the village only had about thirty combat personnel that could be sent out.
We also need to leave some people to protect the elderly and children in the village, so in total, we can only send fifteen people to the other side of the boundary marker.
Thanks to the improvement in his magical power, Lai's strength is now quite decent. In this Abyss tribe, his strength is considered above average, and he can fight against them.
After careful consideration, he decided to go and take a look.
The Yuan tribe not only provided them with maps, but also treated them to good food and drink for two days, and gave them a lot of supplies before they left.
He should lend a hand when there is danger.
After bidding farewell to Seya and Tata, he mounted his horse and set off with the elves.
Tata initially disagreed with Lai, but after seeing Ryan sitting on Lai's shoulders, she immediately dispelled her concerns.
With Ryan protecting Ray's safety, he felt very safe.
The boundary marker is more than four miles away from the village, and it doesn't take long to get there on horseback.
The spirits of the Abyss tribe typically use a giant deer with long antlers as their mode of transportation.
They are gentle in nature and adept at navigating complex terrains. After thousands of years of domestication, they have become important companions to the elves.
Ray followed behind the elves on horseback. Valen, fearing he wouldn't be able to keep up, slowed down to maintain a similar distance from him.
"Did you see the beam of light that suddenly appeared in the forest a while ago?"
Valen asked Ray, and Ray nodded.
"Yes, the light was very bright that night. Even though the village was far away, we could still see it very clearly."
When Ray recalled what happened that day, it felt like it had just happened yesterday.
"well......"
Valen sighed.
"The elders said that the destruction of the boundary marker was an ominous sign, and that the demons would reappear on the continent. And that's exactly what happened."
However, they only destroyed part of the boundary markers, so we still have a chance to reseal them before the Demon King appears.
Fortunately, this sounds like good news amidst the misfortune.
Lei thought to himself.
"Are those people here to vandalize the boundary markers?"
"It's very likely that there are still some intact boundary markers left, and they will probably continue to destroy them. The boundary marker near the tribe has been there since I was a child, and we have always protected it."
As Seya had mentioned before, there was a huge boundary marker in the center of the Elf Kingdom's square.
That is very likely one of the six main boundary markers. So far, only one main boundary marker has been destroyed.
It's only a matter of time before the demons set their sights on the Elf Kingdom, and then there will be another bloodbath.
They were moving very fast and had already reached the boundary marker.
They intended to ambush them and catch them off guard, but unexpectedly, things turned out the other way around when they arrived at the scene.
The boundary marker has been destroyed.
The moment the boundary marker was destroyed by the "key," a beam of light shot up from the ground and straight into the sky.
The shockwave it generated sent those nearby staggering. Even though Ray and his group were standing some distance away, they could still feel the terrifying force of its power.
The situation was urgent; they had already been discovered and there was no longer any need for them to hide.
Ray watched as one of them turned to them, revealing a smug and provocative smile.
"what to do?"
An elf asked, and the leader elf raised his bow and arrow toward the boundary marker that had been reduced to rubble.
"Keeping them alive will only lead to further destruction of other boundary markers. They only number twenty-odd; we can fight them. Let's go!"
"yes!"
The elves raised their bows and arrows in unison, each arrowhead imbued with elemental power.
"emission!"
As the leader fired the first arrow, the rest followed closely behind. The opposing side tried to escape, but it was too late.
The hastily erected earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique used in the game) blocked some of the damage, but some people were still injured.
Ranged attacks are safer than melee, but it's still easy for the enemy to escape. The elves scattered and attacked them from different directions.
Ray blocked off the enemies who might try to escape from behind.
Since they dared to come into the forest with more than twenty people to destroy the boundary marker, they must have some strength.
Ray finally witnessed a real magical war.
They unleashed all sorts of magic on the other party without restraint, each powerful spell accompanied by a chant before it was cast.
In comparison, Ryan's ability to use magic without any pre-cast animation is nothing short of a miracle.
Snap!
A water balloon came straight at Ray, but he dodged it and it crashed into a tree, leaving a hole the size of a bowl.
The man who ambushed him followed closely behind and launched a fierce attack on Lei.
Ray's opponent did indeed have all the characteristics of a human, but the whites of his eyes were completely black.
He was somewhat unsure of this person's identity.
None of the books he had read about races described humans with these characteristics.
Although the clash between magics lacks the flashing of swords and the glint of blades, the damage it inflicts is far greater. The colorful magical skills in the air are like a hail of bullets.
The trees and other plants around them were all destroyed.
No one dared to let their guard down.
Without relying on Ryan's power, Ray fought against the enemy entirely using his own magic.
For him, this was like a test, an opportunity to better understand his own abilities.
Ray used defensive magic again to block the opponent's attack and prepared to counterattack.
He found ranged magic less effective than melee combat, so he eventually pulled out his bone knife.
Once he had the bone knife in his hand, Laiyi became a completely different person.
Elemental power covered the entire blade, and with a flick of the wrist, the light blade slashed at the opponent, catching him completely off guard.
The small-scale battle quickly escalated, ending after several hours of fighting when the last person fell to the ground.
The elves and Lei achieved final victory.
They deliberately left a survivor in order to gather information, but unfortunately, that person eventually died.
The ground was a mess, with blood splattered everywhere.
"There's no way to get any information."
Warren's tone was full of regret.
Lei was puzzled as to why their eyes were all like that, and directly stated his discovery. The elves quickly provided the answer.
It turns out they weren't demons at all, but rather humans who had fallen into depravity. After colluding with the demons, they became their puppets, carrying out their missions.
They went through so much trouble to win against the puppets.
What would happen if they encountered a real demon?
Everyone felt uneasy and turned to leave.
The forest has its own laws; these corpses don't need to be disposed of, as carnivorous wild animals will clean up the scene themselves.
