"It’s a demonized creature!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

After seeing the appearance of the demonic goat through the truck’s external camera, Julia’s face immediately darkened.

’Demonized creature’?

The driver of the lead truck confirmed that the translation plugin wasn’t wrong and then realized that this was a specialized term.

’Demon’ in Elvish means ’creature derived from magic power’; ’demonized creature’ is not a demon, they are ’beings demonized’!

This term left the driver a bit stunned, and he turned to Julia to ask, "Excuse me, what is a ’demon’?"

Julia was also a bit taken aback, "You don’t know what a ’demon’ is? Oh, maybe it’s because you’re rarely involved in such matters! Demons are extremely evil beings. They’re cruel and ruthless, and their favorite thing to do is destroy and ruin. After losing contact with Midgard, we thought about developing space channels ourselves to connect with other worlds, and so we conducted many experiments, and then about five thousand years ago, successfully summoned a ’demon.’

"No, this can’t be considered a success at all, that experiment failed beyond belief! It caused the elves to suffer irreparable losses; many elves died because of it. We barely managed to seal the gate to the demon world, but before the gate was sealed, the demons left quite an impact on our world, among which demonized creatures are one of them.

"Creatures infected by demonic aura become demonized creatures, including but not limited to animals and plants, even elemental demons can be infected and turn into demonized creatures! After becoming demonized creatures, they become rather powerful and simultaneously have a variety of magic abilities... We must help him!"

Julia anxiously looked at Yan Luo, who was battling the demonic goat, racking her brain to figure out how to assist Yan Luo.

They were now quite some distance away from Gass City, and it was too late to go back and ask for help, so they had to find a way to help Yan Luo from another angle.

"Actually, you don’t have to worry so much."

The driver tried to comfort Julia, pretending to be relaxed as he laughed, "Yan Luo is a born Hunter. He was able to kill a deadly-level demon even when he was just an ordinary person, though it was more like a mutual destruction. Now he can hunt city-breaking level demons, so for him, that demonized creature isn’t much."

Even as he said this, the driver wasn’t confident in his heart.

He knew Yan Luo was quite formidable now, being able to hunt city-breaking level demons without wearing an exoskeleton, but whether Yan Luo could defeat a city-breaking level demonized creature... there was still a need to see.

Standing on a branch, Yan Luo looked at the demonic goat below and thought about his strategy.

The scales on its body looked very sturdy and difficult to attack directly, so... should he launch an attack from another angle?

Yan Luo thought for a moment, then suddenly pulled out all the smoke grenades from his tactical vest and threw them towards the demonic goat.

Bang bang bang!

Plumes of smoke burst around the demonic goat. It sensed something was wrong and tried to retreat from the smoke, but suddenly heard the sound of something heavy hitting the ground and immediately spewed flames in that direction.

The flame scattered the smoke, revealing the true form of the heavy object that had fallen.

—The weapon case of the thermite axe!

A black box lay quietly on the ground, enduring the fiery blaze.

Immediately after, Yan Luo descended from the sky, landing on the demonic goat’s back, pressing its limbs down.

The heavy thermite axe struck down on the spine of the demonic goat, only breaking a few scales.

Yan Luo’s first response to the demonic goat’s scales and muscles was ’so hard’ and ’troublesome.’

The demonic goat wasn’t like a giant armadillo that could roll around; its body structure didn’t support such movements, so as long as Yan Luo could firmly stand on its back, he could... Wait, what is this?!

Yan Luo thought he’d found a blind spot but saw the demonic goat’s third eye being pushed out by the flesh tentacle, squeezing out of its socket to look at him.

At that moment, goosebumps sprang up all over Yan Luo’s body and cold sweat gushed out.

Yan Luo knew 87% of the demons on Blue Star’s prominent Abysses and had a vague impression of the remaining known demons, considering himself quite knowledgeable.

Even so, when he saw the demonic goat’s third eye squeeze out, he was greatly shocked.

The countless thoughts in his mind barely occupied any time in the real world, as Yan Luo immediately threw an impact grenade.

The grenade flew towards the demonic goat’s third eye but gradually slowed midair, drawing a regretful, swiftly descending parabola, landing on the demonic goat’s back without even exploding.

Upon seeing this, Yan Luo’s pupils contracted.

He realized that the demonic goat’s ’petrification’ wasn’t based on reality, but rather a conceptual ability, which meant if he were petrified, it would be very difficult to break free.

"Damn it!"

With an angry curse, Yan Luo kicked and jumped off the demonic goat’s back, hiding in the smoke.

The demonic goat’s ears perked up, striving to capture all surrounding sounds.

Boom!

Yan Luo threw a shock grenade, the deafening explosion impairing the demonic goat’s hearing.

"Roar!" The demonic goat roared in fury, frantically spewing fire around.

Taking the opportunity, Yan Luo quickly circled to the demonic goat’s rear, fastened all the high-explosive grenades he had together, and leaped up, shoving the grenades into the demonic goat’s hindquarters, then pivoted and stamped on them before flipping away.

Feeling an alien object inside it, the demonic goat didn’t have time to contract its muscles to expel it before Yan Luo detonated the grenades.

"Roooooar!!!!!"

The heart-wrenching howl was difficult not to evoke compassion.

Hearing this cry of agony, Julia’s eyes shone with a strange light, whispering, "Could he really..."

Demonized creatures are stronger than demons of the same level because their abilities are bizarre, defying common sense.

The demonic aura transforms their bodies after infecting them, causing extraordinary changes.

This abnormal transformation is the reason for the demonized creatures’ strength.

Apart from that, they aren’t much different from ordinary demons; kill them and they die.

Unfortunately, the demonic goat was shrouded in thick smoke, so it was impossible to see its current state.

Under the shroud of smoke, the demonic goat lay on the ground, losing all strength, wailing continually.

Its hindquarters had exploded from within due to the high-explosive grenades.

As a city-breaking level demon, the demonic goat had a high physical constitution, even being able to withstand rocket bombardments, but even muscles tough enough could be destroyed by explosives detonating internally.

Agonizing pain radiated from its hindquarters, causing the demonic goat unbearable suffering.

However, it was different from other demons; the demonic goat’s regenerative ability was exceptionally formidable. Earlier, Yan Luo had shattered its third eye, and it quickly grew back.

Now, the same was happening, with the demonic goat rapidly regenerating its hindquarters.

Learning from experience, Yan Luo naturally wouldn’t stand by and watch the demonic goat complete its regeneration.

Walking through the gradually thinning smoke, Yan Luo circled to the front of the demonic goat, held his breath, and slightly bent his knees.

"—Hoo!"

The demonic goat heard an exhalation, and its third eye immediately turned toward the sound’s origin, but it was too late.

The mist in front of him suddenly parted, and Yan Luo’s body crashed through the air, ax in both hands as he leaped fiercely.

His body arched like a crescent moon in midair, slashing down the thermite axe violently.

The demonic goat didn’t even have time to react before Yan Luo descended from the sky, cleaving its third eye with an ax.

Having learned from the previous experience, Yan Luo dodged faster this time, swiftly sliding to the demonic goat’s left eye, raising his hand and striking with another ax blow.

The thin eyelid couldn’t provide sufficient defense for the eyeball; the thermite ax easily sliced through the lid, penetrating the eyeball.

The fleshy tentacle that had raised the third eye immediately tore apart, turning into several tendrils that whipped across the demonic goat’s head.

Therefore, Yan Luo had to abandon the idea of damaging the demonic goat’s brain through the eye socket and jumped off its head.

What awaited him was the demonic goat’s full wrath.

It spewed its fury from its mouth, scorching the earth.

Just as his feet touched the ground, Yan Luo immediately jumped away from the landing spot.

He basically figured out the demonic goat’s combat style and mindset, as well as—

the method to hunt the demonic goat!
