Chapter 157 Aiwass's Clever Little Butterfly
Four demonologists, three demons - except for the whipping demon that did not participate in the battle and was naturally dispelled, Aiwass got all the remaining experience.
While his experience points were still inferior to those of the Deformed Demon and the assassin, they were more than adequate in quantity. All told, they totaled a full 140 points... Aiwass's experience reserves had officially surpassed 500.
His natural leveling speed now perfectly matched the cooldown period for advancement, so Aiwass no longer needed experience to level up. After all, the level gained through experience was false; while the path level was increased, the corresponding knowledge was lacking.
Once his energy level is higher and the upgrade speed slows down, Aiwass can make up time through experience.
After all, he needed to evenly improve both paths, otherwise the pastoral method wouldn't work. Both Isabel and Lily were on a single path. Sherlock, while on a dual path, had no authority to improve, effectively becoming a single path.
They are all very talented and are promoted very quickly.
The free experience that Aiwass reserves is used to make up for this time.
The Flame Butterfly once again transformed into a follower form, becoming an ordinary flame butterfly and landing on Aiwas's shoulder.
Aiwass gently touched her butterfly wings. The flaming wings didn't burn under his touch, but felt like warm silk. It was like the warmth you feel when you touch someone's skin through silk pajamas.
"You're quite clever..."
This way I don't have to command you.
Aiwas sighed softly, took out a blood-red apple from his pocket, took a bite, and then gave it to the Flame-Defying Butterfly to take a sip.
After the leader died, the curse on him ended, but the damage left behind remained.
As soon as he took a bite of the apple, the bleeding wound on Aiwass's body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The fact that the Blade Demon, that iron-headed creature with the iron helmet, can withstand all these mechanics is truly remarkable—after all, if it were any more fragile, it would have died long ago. It's incredibly tough.
If it's an Iron Hook Demon, I can probably kill it before it finishes spitting out [Guided Flame Stream] in the first round.
Of course, if it was a hook demon, it would probably dodge...
The Blade Demon's specialty is a head-on confrontation - it's obvious that it's used to using its toughness to bully others, but it didn't expect the Flame Butterfly's damage would be so high.
What surprised Aiwas was that the combat IQ of the Flame-Defying Butterfly was not low at all.
Even though she had never been in combat, there was absolutely nothing wrong with her actions.
When she first used the impact of "Guided Flame Stream" to forcefully repel the Blade Demon, Aiwass thought it was a coincidence. So when she later used "Butterfly Sacrificial Fire" to heal herself on the spot, Aiwass was a little worried that she might be killed instantly by the Blade Demon because she was concentrating on healing.
As a ball of flame, the Flame-Butterfly was immune to paralysis. The "Butterfly Sacrifice Fire" was the second stage that would only begin when the Flame-Butterfly's health was at its critical juncture—that is, when its health was reduced to one-third.
"Butterfly Sacrificial Fire" is a self-healing skill only available to the level 50 Flame-Butterfly. While in that resting state, the Flame-Butterfly will continuously regenerate health. If you attack slowly, it will be fully restored immediately. However, if you attack too quickly, it may trigger a counterattack.
If the mechanism is handled correctly, she will enter the third stage after the weak stage - the skill "Fire Meteor" that turns her into a meteor and rushes across the field.
In this state, the Flame Butterfly will target the enemy with the lowest health percentage and charge three times in a row, leaving behind a burning mark. If it misses three times, it will enter a weakened state. If it hits at least one enemy, it will charge three more times, until it misses three times in a row.
In other words, the Blade Demon cut the Flame-Defying Butterfly's health down to half with one strike.
At that moment, Aiwass was suddenly startled—he was worried that after the Flame-Defying Butterfly activated its "Butterfly Sacrifice Fire," it would be killed instantly by a single blow from the Blade Demon. At that time, Aiwass was already considering whether to directly detonate the Flame-Defying Butterfly.
However, the combat IQ of the Flame-Defying Butterfly is quite good.
She did not launch a furious counterattack after enduring the attack. Instead, she took the initiative to end the "Butterfly Sacrifice Fire" without Aiwass's command, blocking the Blade Demon's attack with the strong knockback effect caused by the burst of flames and knocking the Blade Demon directly away.
While the Blade Demon had not yet landed, the Flame Butterfly did not say much and directly activated the "Doomsday Ray".
That's a full-area AOE with three rays for every remaining wing.
Because if you don't interrupt "Butterfly Sacrifice Fire", she will automatically regenerate health. Therefore, players usually don't destroy all four wings, but instead destroy two to induce active rage - two wings have six rays, sweeping the entire field.
This damage can be avoided. If you're a little better at positioning, you'll probably only take two hits at most.
The frenzy of the two wings usually won't kill anyone unless you have good positioning.
As a result, the Doomsday Rays of the Flame-Defying Butterfly were accurately focused on the Blade Demon, causing the Blade Demon to suffer twelve consecutive sweeps!
It's really amazing that he can still be left with only a little health after eating all the mechanisms.
As expected, he is a demon branded with mortal sin.
Although it doesn't have any special abilities, it's really tough. And its damage is quite high. It almost killed the Flame-Butterfly in one blow.
——But their deaths were worthwhile!
After all, the Flame-Butterfly wasn't a massive beast like the ones in the game, and Aiwass had no idea how much power the boss-like Flame-Butterfly would possess once it became his own summoned beast. However, with these people as targets, Aiwass understood just how powerful the Flame-Butterfly truly was.
After being fed once by him using the pastoral method, the level of the Flame Butterfly is now level 30, on the verge of entering the fourth energy level.
The Blade Demon is usually level 29. The Flame Butterfly is a bit fragile, but the damage is definitely no problem.
If the timing is right, he could simply unleash a burst of "Doomsday Rays"—if he could hit even half of them, instantly killing a Level 4 Transcendent would be no problem. By that calculation, the daily maintenance cost was only five mana points, a huge profit.
Moreover, the "Fire Meteor" of the Flame Butterfly does not have to be at low health to be used.
If she is at full health, Aiwass can also let her charge directly after landing and then let her self-destruct. This is also a way to use her.
Although Aiwass only used two types of ordinary flame butterflies, he probably had an idea of them.
It’s not particularly high, but at least it’s not a loss.
The power of the High-Temperature Flame Butterfly is roughly equivalent to a spell cast by a mage with two levels of flame affinity, consuming five points of fire mana; and the effect of dispelling the flame butterflies is similar to the spell cast by a priest, consuming five points of fire mana, to dispel the undead.
The numbers are normal, but the mechanics are very strong - you can choose any of the four effects when summoning, and because it is instant, you don't even need to draw the card.
The downside is that the butterfly flies very slowly, about the same speed as walking, and can be blocked by people and detonated.
Its advantages were that it could fly for a full minute and could even turn. Compared to spells of the same level, it was extremely quiet and would not trigger a premonition of danger in transcendents before exploding.
Moreover, the Flame Butterflies are released instantly and automatically seek out enemies, so Aiwass doesn't have to worry too much. They can also be recalled temporarily. If Aiwass has the energy to operate them manually, they can also prevent being lured into explosions - Aiwass can recall them at any time before being lured into explosions by the wrong enemy.
It is worthy of the ability that spans two versions.
Aiwass was very satisfied.
"See that, Shadow Demon?"
Aiwass half showed off, half criticized: "Little Butterfly is very strong, right?"
"Very strong. Even though it's still in its larval stage, it's already very strong..."
The shadow demon beneath him finally emerged and replied in Chloe's honey-like voice, "If you grow a little more, you won't need me anymore, right?"
"That won't do. We're partners. How could I abandon you?"
Aiwass said with a smile, and put the Flame Butterfly that followed him into his sleeve: "Look, isn't it our turn to fight together next?"
Then Aiwass turned around and ordered: "Lily, go and clean up the rituals; Shadow Demon, leave your presence in the house. The previous battle was quite noisy, we have to prepare to run away-"
"How long?"
The Shadow Demon was not as angry as it said, but asked seriously.
Aiwass didn't respond directly, but instead told a story: "Aleister had been lurking in the shadows, following the four of them to 14 Ronin Street. Seeing me use my trump card to defeat them all, he sneaked into the house from the shadows. When I relaxed and used the Fire Sacrifice to heal myself, he suddenly attacked, knocked me down, and took me away—leaving no trace of that."
"Understood," the Shadow Demon replied, "Give me two minutes."
Although Aiwass's requirements were cumbersome, they were at least precise.
"Wait three minutes."
Aiwass leaned against the doorway, tilted his head slightly, chuckled, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Shadow Demon."
There's still a little left, I'll post the second chapter a little later~
