Chapter 155 Aiwass: Let me see (shock)
The moment the team leader saw Aiwass, he was stunned for a moment.
He thought he might have been ambushed... However, the team leader never imagined that the person who ambushed them was Aiwass, who should have been sitting in a wheelchair or sleeping soundly under the curse!
But at this distance, his feelings were crystal clear. There was no way he could be wrong.
——Demonologist, second level.
...What's going on?
Or is it that this person is not Aiwass at all?
Astonishment, fear, confusion—in just a moment, the leader's thoughts raced through a thousand possibilities. He instantly sorted through four or five possibilities, rapidly considering whether to launch a surprise attack, curse, or retreat.
According to his combat habits, he should have activated [Nightmare Illusion] to control this "Evans" first to buy time, but he did not bring this thing with him.
It's like a skilled shooter who subconsciously wants to draw his gun when faced with a crisis, but finds that he doesn't have one with him.
Because of this, the strongest leader fell into a brief hesitation.
But the demon dog that Braden had just summoned did not stop at all. It attacked Aiwass with great ferocity and without any fear.
Another demon dog, which was dissipating due to the death of its master, also launched an attack on Aiwass along with its companions.
It wasn't a true dog, but a demon with a dog-like build and behavior. Even crouching on the ground, it stood about a meter tall, clad in crude armor made of scrap metal. Due to its crude treatment, its red, rusty shell bore numerous sharp notches. The demon dog's head was hideous, its mouth ablaze with flames, and its entire body emanated the stench of a rotting corpse.
What is protected inside the armor is not bones and internal organs, but human corpses and rotten flesh.
The Whiplash, whose master had been ambushed and killed by Aiwass and was about to be expelled, remained motionless. It simply folded its arms across its chest, sneered at the leader and the others, and said nothing.
This highly intelligent demon had already predicted the outcome of the battle.
Facing the fierce attack of the demon dog, Aiwass neither dodged nor fled.
If it was more than a month ago that Aiwas encountered the second BOSS "Evil Dog" Shell in the Pelican Bar, he would definitely be very afraid of the other party.
After all, the demon dog had no vital points. Unlike Da Zi, it couldn't be killed instantly by Aiwass with a single headshot.
The demon dog is essentially a weak demon in the form of a spirit that can curse and control rotting flesh. Its entire body, including its head, is merely a mecha it controls.
For this reason, for low-level extraordinary people who lack the ability to deal with souls, in order to kill the demon dog, they must smash the iron shell and beat out the rotten flesh inside; or break a few of the dog's legs or the dog's head. In short, the Gundam driven by the dog must be made unable to move, in order to defeat the demon dog.
It is precisely because of this tenacious vitality and its ability to restrain most low-level extraordinary beings that the demon dog has become a familiar that almost every low-level demon scholar in the Noble Red Society has.
But for Aiwass today, the situation is completely different.
The butterfly that rested on his right middle finger flew up and made space.
As Aiwas looked at the demon dog rushing towards him, he simply turned his right hand outward with his palm facing outward.
The flame condensed in his palm and then turned into a flame butterfly.
This flame butterfly is golden, with only the red outline of the flame visible at the edge.
Its attribute is "Dispel". Its effects include dispelling some negative states of friendly troops, dispelling some shields of enemies, and dispelling undead creatures.
Although the demon dog is a demon, it is essentially an undead.
It didn't fly away, but instead spread its wings and exploded right where it stood.
A brilliant golden halo radiated from it, piercing Aiwass's body without causing any harm. However, the demon dog seemed to have hit an invisible wall, intercepted by the golden light in mid-air and slammed back.
They let out sharp screams like attacked dogs, fell to the grass at the door, and their armor made a dull sound.
When the two demon dogs rolled to the ground, wisps of golden flames rose from the cracks in their rotten iron armor.
That was a sign that the curse wrapped around the corpse was being dispelled.
The demon dog's movements were visibly becoming slow and stiff, and then it fell to the ground, motionless.
——With just one strike, the two demon dogs that pounced on him at the first moment were defeated at the same time!
With the help of the fleeting light, the team leader finally saw the sapphire jewelry worn by Aiwass.
Without a doubt, that was the item used to fight the curse. He must have woken up from the curse when he was previously cursed to sleep.
But it was just an ordinary sapphire jewelry and did not have any extraordinary properties.
Realizing this, the team leader was no longer afraid.
He pointed his finger at Aiwass and cursed loudly:
“[——Die!]”
As the invisible power of the curse spread, several blood flowers suddenly burst out from Aiwas' body.
It was as if three invisible sharp blades pierced his body, and Ai Hua immediately bled profusely.
But a temporary curse could only do so much at best. He was, after all, only a demonologist, not a ritualist.
Aiwass's body just swayed slightly, and his left hand behind his back was raised again.
It was a pistol. The same pistol that had just shot Braden in the calf.
Aiwass didn't aim at the team leader, but quietly aimed at Braden, who was lying on the ground wailing, with no time to dodge and too painful to fight back.
"—Braidon!"
The team leader was startled and anxiously reminded: "Relax and don't resist!"
A purple light of the path lit up in his pupils, his right hand shone with a hazy violet light, and his left hand aimed at Pero Jiaoxiang's body and grabbed it hard!
As the purple light on Braden's body leaped three times in a row, the team leader transferred the triple resistance brought by the ritual on Pero's body, which had not yet ended, to Braden!
——【Protective Bullets】, 【Natural Resistance to Weak Penetration】, 【Weak Point Reinforcement】!
The power of the Dao comes from the dream world and acts on the soul. Therefore, the extraordinary's lethality is significantly stronger than its resistance, and it is more than one level stronger.
Before reaching the fourth energy level and experiencing their first boost in vitality from the power of the Path, at least two-thirds of classes are vulnerable to ordinary firearms. For this reason, each Path possesses a means of temporarily increasing its resistance to various weapons.
The means to transcend the Tao is ritual magic.
Ordinary [Bullet Protection] is enough to deflect small-caliber bullets directly into an invisible shield, like wearing steel armor. Adding [Weak Penetration Resistance] strengthens the skin, making it impervious to even rifle bullets. It can even withstand spear attacks wielded by a Level 1 melee transcendent.
If you add [Weakness Reinforcement], even if weak points such as the eyes, throat, heart, and head are attacked, they will only be blocked by the emerging light shield.
These three rituals cost little and require simple materials.
It costs about three to four Red Candle Coins to release all three. The ritual takes a few minutes each, about ten minutes for all three, and the effect lasts for an hour.
In Lloyd's, this ritual is commonly used whenever one is in public, to avoid being ambushed or shot.
Before summoning the demon and waiting for their apprentices to cast the curse, the team leader and Fatty Pero took the time to cast resistance on themselves.
However, they had never expected that Aiwass, who was only at the first energy level and on the path of dedication, could attack like a mage, which completely wasted Pero's resistance!
However, the leader has mastered the ability of "ritual transfer". He can transfer the effects of his ritual from one person to another, which is a good way to recycle waste.
Seeing that Braden had gained complete bullet resistance, the team leader breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do you know why I wasn't aiming at you?"
Aiwass asked softly, "Do you know why I'm not in a hurry?"
The next moment, he suddenly pulled the trigger.
A dark line pierced through Braden's head.
His head instantly shattered into pieces, blood splattered, and Braden's wailing stopped abruptly.
The demonologist team of four people and four demons were killed by Aiwass three-quarters as soon as they met!
"Because I want to see your Blade Demon."
Aiwass raised the corner of his mouth slightly and pointed the gun at the leader: "Now the people who are in the way are gone.
"—show it to me, or I'll kill you."
