Chapter 672 A Beautiful Victory
The turtles watching outside the fog were all amazed at Lu Yuan's powerful fighting ability, but for the several demons in the fog, this contest was not over yet.
As the Mist Giant was defeated in one blow, the Mist [Demon] no longer used frontal attacks, but instead hid in the thick, ink-colored fog - no matter how powerful you are, if you can't break through the fog, you will be trapped and killed here.
Lu Yuan found that the other party no longer attacked, so he could only frown and search carefully in the fog for a while.
His walking speed was amazing. Even if he was just searching, his speed exceeded 100 meters per second.
"In theory, the range of the fog won't be too large. After all, the power of the [Demon] is limited and cannot expand infinitely."
But in reality, it seemed to be just going around in circles and never got out of the fog.
Lu Yuan immediately understood the other party's intention: "It seems that this fog can also trap the enemy, and this [demon] is still not convinced by me."
Of course, he could use "Space Teleport" to teleport out directly, but at this moment, he also had a competitive spirit: "I want to see what other tricks you have."
After going around in a circle, Lu Yuan suddenly discovered a dark red stone on the ground in front of him.
When you get closer, you can see that the stone is shaped like a baby, with two eyeballs carved from obsidian, and its skin is wrinkled and covered with mold. The whole shape exudes a cold aura.
"It seems that to unleash the combat power of this mist demon, we need to rely on quite a lot of props..."
"This thing was made by the turtles, right? It seems to be a cursed item?"
Lu Yuan was a man of great skill and courage, so he just touched her lightly.
Suddenly, I heard a soft baby cry.
“Woo, woo!”
With each cry, Lu Yuan's whole body changed. A mysterious force wrapped around his body along with the sound, seeping into his flesh and blood and deep into his soul. His whole body emanated a dark and rotten light.
Even with his current resistance, he had to ignite the Eternal Fire to resist the terrible curse.
The red light of the fire was like a candle flame, with a wisp of black air, flickering in the wind, and it might even go out at any time.
"Good boy, the Eternal Fire has been suppressed."
"If my strength hadn't improved by leaps and bounds, it might have been a bit troublesome."
This fact also gave Lu Yuan a wake-up call.
In terms of numbers, he is indeed at the same level as the [Ghost], or even higher than the [Ghost].
But there are too many divine skills in the world, and some extraordinary abilities are unique at the mechanism level.
If a certain divine skill restrains him, then even if his stats are high, there is a possibility that he will fail miserably.
"So it is very beneficial to have more abilities."
Lu Yuan looked at his festering skin, with drops of yellow pus oozing out, like a corpse that had been soaked in water for a long time.
This force was blocked by the [Steel] ability, but the current performance was indeed terrifying, because the skin of the Greedy Demon came from [Painted Skin], which actually also had [Demon]-level defensive capabilities, but now it was broken through with unstoppable force.
"The most valuable ability of the Mist Demon is the gray mist. When the time comes, I, the Greedy Demon, will take action, and we won't have to worry about people outside finding out."
"As for the curse ability, it requires a medium to trigger it, which can only be regarded as icing on the cake."
Lu Yuan was slightly tempted. If he could really recruit this guy, he would have a better chance of plundering the ancient bloodline.
"I must win beautifully in order to convince this demon."
But how can we find this guy who is hiding in the fog and casting the curse?
His mind raced, and he soon came up with an answer: [Divine Skill: Hurricane].
This ability can control airflow. As long as the [Hurricane] is launched to forcibly blow away the fog, the true form of the [Devil] can be found.
"But that's not elegant enough."
"It's best to use only one ability, 'Eternal Fire', to defeat the opponent. This way, the opponent will be convinced!"
Lu Yuan calmed down and felt the breeze in the air. Suddenly, countless pieces of information flooded into his mind.
…
…
In the eyes of the onlookers, Lu Yuan just stood there in a daze, seeming to be a little embarrassed.
"He's in big trouble!" The turtles didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or hold their breath.
In their perception, the importance of "mechanism" is greater than that of "value".
For example, the life attribute is difficult to use in combat. If it encounters sinister abilities such as curses, the life attribute will be directly slaughtered one-sidedly.
The importance of mechanism is like pouring a drop of ink into a basin of clear water, which will be contaminated anyway.
Unless the value is a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times greater than the opponent's, it is possible to forcibly break the mechanism - but this is not cost-effective and unreasonable! Even if [Magic] is not a phenomenon designed specifically for combat, it is one of the four natural disasters. It is simply a fantasy to want to crush the mechanism with numerical value!
An old turtle man couldn't help but stroke his beard and sighed, "Lu Yuan should have a lot of divine skills, but he only wanted to use the eternal fire to end the battle. He is still a little arrogant."
"It's normal for young people to be a little arrogant."
"By the way...what other abilities does he have?"
"Of course it needs to be kept secret." Guiwu stared at the center of the fog. "There is more than one [Demon] participating in the battle, but I still think that he can win... it's just a matter of whether he wins beautifully or not. Everyone, watch carefully, he will definitely use other abilities!"
…
The wind was surging, and Lu Yuan quietly used [Hurricane]. Countless tiny air currents were mixed in with the natural wind, and he quickly detected the limit of the opponent's ability.
The diameter of this fog is as high as 110 kilometers!
There are more than fifty large puppets hidden inside.
What's more, there are two other [Demons] watching covetously - Lu Yuan doesn't know whether these two guys are spectators or participants in the battle, so he can only ignore them for the time being.
This reconnaissance capability may seem ordinary, but in order to achieve large-scale perception in a subtle and silent manner, it is the super-high divine attribute that plays a role.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared behind Lu Yuan! This time, the move was incredibly fast, as if it used spatial abilities. There was no way to avoid it. A hand made of shadows grabbed towards Lu Yuan's neck.
The moment his skin was touched, Lu Yuan immediately felt his flesh being torn apart.
Countless amounts of blood were surging and boiling in the body.
The blood flowed uncontrollably towards the shadow's palm.
This feels quite familiar, except that the strength of the divine skill is slightly lower than the familiar [Ghost].
"A power that originates from the [blood vampire]... Could it be that this is a [demon] created by imitating the [blood vampire]?"
"A second demon has appeared... He has spatial abilities and abilities similar to those of a [Blood Vampire]. Is he an assassin type?"
Lu Yuan endured the curse and the invasion of the power of the [Blood Demon]. In a flash, the Eternal Fire burst out, and the violent red light instantly pushed back the power of the two [Demons]! [Eternal Fire] is not a top-notch divine skill, but it has a moderate attribute and can fight against any ability.
But then came the attack from the third [Demon]!
An invisible sound wave suddenly seized the opportunity when the fire exploded and penetrated Lu Yuan's mind.
The sharp high note was like a sharp awl that drilled into my mind and echoed for a long time.
The light of his fire suddenly dimmed a lot.
"You think highly of me. You sent three [Demons] at once, using all the physical, mental, and curse attack methods."
…
Seeing the three [devils] attacking together and besieging Lu Yuan, the turtle people couldn't help but sweat.
"These three [Demons] didn't hold back much."
They were secretly worried that if they killed the newly appointed [Yu], it would be a big trouble.
"Why doesn't he use his other abilities? Is it really just the Eternal Fire?"
"Don't worry, his ability to withstand blows is top-notch."
…
Under siege, Lu Yuan remained expressionless and multitasked.
On the one hand, he activated the [Steel] ability in his body to calm the boiling blood, while at the same time resisting the strange sound waves.
On the other hand, secretly use [Hurricane].
The surrounding fog suddenly surged up, and countless tiny air currents rushed around in the fog. The vortices formed by these air currents could bring him more feedback.
Those demons hiding in the dark were like being scanned by radar, and their specific locations appeared in Lu Yuan's mind.
"The first thing we should deal with is the blood demon that dares to approach me and has abilities similar to those of a vampire."
The [Blood] Demon was like plasticine, with hands and feet that could be stretched to dozens of meters, and his entire body was black with a hint of dark red. Every punch and kick was like plasticine.
The divine skill [Blood Control] is even more powerful. It constantly stirs the blood, and the whole body seems to be about to explode.
But when facing Lu Yuan, he hesitated because of his [Steel] ability, he could only control it to one tenth or one twelfth of its potential.
Even these one-tenth or twelveth were intentional by Lu Yuan. You have to know that the blood of a person with the [Steel] ability can seal [ghosts], so it is natural that it cannot be controlled.
Lu Yuan deliberately revealed some flaws, and while the opponent was controlling his blood, he increased his body speed dramatically and reached back to grab the blood demon's palm!
This strike was like lightning, and the clouds and mist in the entire area were blown up by the strong wind. The Blood Demon couldn't dodge in time and watched the hand grabbing his arm! But the moment Lu Yuan touched the shadow, it seemed that he only touched the air, and he actually missed!
It is obvious to feel that this palm is in a state of transition between reality and illusion.
Divine Skill [Etherealization]! If it were a normal person, they would probably be shocked for a moment and then be counterattacked.
But Lu Yuan himself has this ability similar to "virtualization", and he also knows its limitations. His mind raced: after virtualization, physical defense is greatly improved, and mental protection will inevitably be reduced.
His whole body suddenly burst into red light, and the Eternal Fire erupted once again. This time the intensity of the explosion was comparable to that of a fuel-air bomb.
"boom"!!
The entire fog was illuminated by red light, dyeing it like a red glow.
Sure enough, in order to avoid damage, the blood [devil's] palm had to regain its entity.
Lu Yuan anticipated the opponent's reaction in advance. A green vine extended from the Greedy Demon's arm and quickly tied up the shadow entity. With a light "whoosh" sound, he pulled the opponent over in an almost brutal way! "Catch one first!"
The blood [demon] struggled hard, a lot of blood splattered everywhere, and he fled in all directions.
But the red light became increasingly dense, like a layer of soap bubbles, covering up all the blood.
The gap in quality is there, and the eternal fire alone is enough to seal it.
Seeing his companions trapped, another Sonic [Demon] who emitted high-frequency sound waves increased the intensity of his attacks.
“Wow!”
The sound was strange and demonic, making my head buzz.
Even with the Greedy Demon's level of resistance, he was not completely invulnerable. The fine and high-pitched sounds were like steel needles.
Lu Yuan sneered in his heart. Sound waves are naturally a kind of airflow. With the detection of the [Hurricane] ability, he already knew the location of this sonic [demon] - this guy is very cunning and moves his territory every time he launches a sonic wave.
But this scene was exposed under Lu Yuan's perception. He stomped his feet lightly, and a vine drilled into the ground and suddenly drilled out a hundred meters away! The sound wave [magic] reacted very quickly, bounced high, and shouted "Wow" towards the ground! This sound wave was so powerful, like a nuclear explosion, the ground suddenly cracked, and the vines fell to the ground.
But suddenly, a flower bud on the vine exploded and emitted a fierce red light!
The Eternal Fire is only a mid-level combat ability among the divine skills.
But in Lu Yuan's hands, it was played with great skill, and the strength of the ability faintly broke through the upper limit of the divine skill and reached another level. The light was soft but strong, interweaving into a fishing net, covering the sound wave [demon].
In an instant, the sound wave [demon] was also bound by the red light and lost its sound.
The rustling vines were retracted again, and the red light was sharp, like steel wires, preventing the opponent from breaking free.
The sound wave [demon] looks like a large fly, which does not quite conform to Lu Yuan's aesthetic taste.
As if it knew it had lost, it was too lazy to struggle. It glanced at Lu Yuan with its compound eyes, and a sharp voice came out of its abdomen: [Your Excellency won fair and square... [Blood Demon], don't resist in vain.]
Another group of imprisoned blood-like creatures also stopped moving.
Old Lu did not make things difficult for his future subordinates, he just sealed them with the eternal fire.
Finally, only the mist [demon] that was emitting mist and cursing in secret was left.
This guy hid very well, and when he saw his two companions being captured, he concealed his whereabouts even more.
After launching the curse, there was no further movement.
In theory, this kind of enemy is the most difficult to deal with.
Lu Yuan smiled lightly. The countless air currents caused by the previous battle had already told him the approximate location of the fog [demon].
But he still wanted to resolve this battle more beautifully.
He whispered: "Long!"
A piece of emerald green leaf instantly grew out from the finger.
He first used the eternal fire to iron the leaf, and suddenly, complex and beautiful patterns appeared on the leaf.
Then he scraped a bit of the clay-like substance off the Blood Demon: "I'd like to borrow your Blood Control ability for a while."
[Blood Demon] was suppressed so much that he was too lazy to resist, just like a salted fish.
Although the cursed ability to cause the whole body to fester is subtle and powerful, it also has its own inherent flaws, which is that the "causal relationship" between the two parties is difficult to eliminate.
"Cause and effect" also involves more basic idealistic mechanisms such as divination, foresight, and luck.
Simply put, if the person with low luck wants to curse those with high luck, he or she will have to pay an extra price.
If the person with good fortune curses the person with bad fortune, then his own fortune will be reduced by one level.
Therefore, although the ability to curse is well-known, it is rare to see a civilization being able to make a fortune with it.
"Your curse ability is indeed quite good. If you escape to the ends of the earth, it will be difficult for me to find you."
"But if they were just hiding in the fog, they would be too close and easy to find. The causal relationship brought about by the curse is like a thin line in the high-dimensional space, connecting each other."
"Snap!" Lu Yuan let the substance on the blood [demon] touch the green leaves.
Suddenly, the emerald green leaves made a slight "buzzing" sound and turned blood red.
The blood-boiling [Blood Control] spread in an unknown direction.
"Ah!" The sound of a human body falling to the ground came from somewhere. The fog quickly faded, and those shadowy curses disappeared without a trace.
"Swoosh!" A vine extended over and bound up the mist [demon] as well.
This guy looked like a faceless man, without any facial features. Under the light of the eternal fire, he struggled for a few times and then decisively admitted defeat.
All three [Demons] were captured alive!
This battle, although seemingly complicated, actually took less than a minute and could be described as lightning fast.
The turtle people standing outside the fog and watching were stunned. They felt that Lu Yuan eliminated the three [Demon] level fighters just like chopping melons and vegetables.
What's more, Lu Yuan only used the "Eternal Fire" to solve the problem, without using any other extraordinary abilities! They were happy, but also shocked.
One turtle man muttered to himself, "Is that vine some kind of natural treasure, an immortal-level material? How come it's so accurate in grabbing it?"
"No, it has nothing to do with the vines. It's just the function of the Eternal Fire. As long as it is tied up, it can directly suppress a [Demon]. This means that the combat power of the two sides may differ by more than two levels!"
The Grand Master Craftsman's creative methods are truly miraculous. He can use a simple item made from a vine leaf to find the cause and effect and identify the curser.
This requires extremely high knowledge and rich experience.
"Even if these three [Demons] cooperate with each other, they are still not strong enough due to the difference in magnitude."
Turtle Man No. 3, Turtle Warrior, couldn't help but feel excited: "What do you think of the new leader of the Demon Sect now?"
Immediately, a turtle said: "From the perspective of combat power, it is indeed the best existence in the Demon Sect, stronger than most of the innate myths!"
"The accomplishments of a craftsman can also give us a glimpse of the leopard..."
