Chapter 184: Chapter 112 Ring of Agreement_3

He lay next to the door while A Fei and Ye Yuzhen together turned the capstan, slowly raising the stone door, and Li Xiu peered outside through the crack.

Outside, it was a bright morning; the sunlight was somewhat dazzling as it hit, but luckily, the Dark Mirror allowed Li Xiu’s eyes not to fear the sun, though visibility wasn’t that clear.

But once he saw the situation outside clearly, Li Xiu was stunned.

The imagined group of demon spirits did not appear; let alone a thousand, not even a single demon spirit was there.

Outside lay a canyon, its ground fairly flat, with nearly ninety-degree vertical mountain walls on both sides, at least several hundred meters high.

"Strange, why aren’t there any demon spirits?" Chu Jun, who was also looking out while lying prone, became instantly less confident.

Since arriving at Black Death City, his confidence had been repeatedly battered.

Li Xiu said nothing, merely summoning the Black Death Demon and sending it charging forward.

The Black Death Demon had barely rushed out a short distance when a skull emitting green fumes suddenly emerged from underground.

To call it a skull isn’t quite accurate; the thing more resembled a metallic mechanical skeleton, much like the half-human, half-skeleton demon spirit Li Xiu had slain before.

This skeleton lacked the human half; its entire body was metallic and mechanical, emitting green fumes, with a green heart encased within its chest.

Its hands remarkably clutched a giant metal syringe.

Yes, the sort used by doctors for injections, except this syringe was enormous, as thick as an arm, with its piston rod drawn back. Combined with the needle at the front, its length was at least 1.2 meters.

Green smoke was still wafting from the needle tip’s aperture.

Once the Black Death Demon had emerged, it was like stirring a hornet’s nest, with bizarre mechanical skeletons climbing up from the canyon floor.

Their appearance was almost uniform, all clutching metal syringes.

Fortunately, they lacked any radiance; not even a Flowing Color Demon Spirit, just ordinary demon spirits.

The foremost mechanical skeleton demon spirit charged directly, raising its metal syringe to stab the Black Death Demon.

The Black Death Demon burst his shackles apart; the severed Black Crystal Chain morphed into a Light Whip, striking the mechanical skeleton demon spirit and splitting it at the waist.

The Black Death Demon demonstrated his mighty prowess, whipping the mechanical skeletons into fragments; no mechanical skeleton could withstand a single lash from him.

Suddenly, four metal arms extended from beneath the Black Death Demon, two gripping his left foot and two his right.

The Black Death Demon struggled forcefully, yet couldn’t break free.

During this moment of distraction, a C-level mechanical skeleton charged from the side, driving a syringe needle into the Black Death Demon.

Li Xiu didn’t call for other demon spirits to rescue, merely watching calmly.

"I told you to carefully look at the map, but you didn’t listen," Chu Jun sighed.

Li Xiu remained silent, knowing every mechanical skeleton’s position; he knew there were mechanical skeletons underneath, and the Black Death Demon’s step wouldn’t fall there if deliberately controlled.

Despite knowing there were demon spirits, Li Xiu deliberately let the Black Death Demon step forward, wanting to discover what was in those metal syringes.

He wouldn’t send other demon spirits into combat before figuring out what the syringe’s contents were.

Theoretically, since the Black Death Demon didn’t possess a flesh body, merely a shell of armor encasing clouds of black mist, it shouldn’t fear poison.

If the metal syringe contained poison, it shouldn’t affect the Black Death Demon.

However, when the metal syringe pierced into the Black Death Demon’s body, and the mechanical skeleton pushed the piston rod to inject its contents into the Black Death Demon, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Green fumes erupted from the punctured area; while a lash of his whip severed the C-level mechanical skeleton’s arm, the green fumes on his body continued to spread.

One could see green patterns starting at the puncture site spreading across the Black Death Demon’s armor.

Wherever the green patterns spread, the Black Death Demon’s formerly black armor began gradually metallicizing into green metal.

"The contents of the metal syringe can metalize other lifeforms?" Li Xiu was somewhat astonished.

He had seen demon spirits capable of using Demonic Light to metalize substances before, but it was his first time encountering demon spirits capable of metalizing life using syringes.

Though these demon spirits weren’t high-level, lacking any grade, the syringe’s contents were surprisingly potent enough to affect even a Radiant Demon Spirit.

Green metal spread across the Black Death Demon’s body, though slowly, showing no signs of stopping.

The Black Death Demon was still fighting as Li Xiu summoned him back with a thought.

Transforming into a Demon Spirit Ring, the Black Death Demon returned to Li Xiu’s finger; on the black crystalline ring surface, there was a speck of green, metallic in texture, and it continued to spread.

"This is some amazing stuff!" Li Xiu summoned the Demigod Shana and the Love God Shooter, without calling the Jedi Knight.

Being melee in nature, the Jedi Knight wasn’t suited for this scenario.

Both the Demigod Shana and Love God Shooter could attack purely at range, denying the mechanical skeletons any chance.

The two demon spirits stood guard at the city gate, crazily firing at the swarming demon spirits charging forth.

At first, Chu Jun and the others worried the mechanical skeletons were too numerous, fearing the two demon spirits might not manage.

But seeing the Demigod Shana taking out one with each shot, consistently blowing the mechanical skeletons’ hearts apart, and the Love God Shooter instigating the mechanical skeletons into mutual conflict, Chu Jun’s eyes widened in astonishment.

"These demon spirits are... incredible..." Chu Jun nearly drooled with envy.

The impact on Ye Yuzhen was even greater; videos of Magic Armor Masters slaughtering demon spirits could be easily found online.

But this scenario involved demon spirits slaughtering demon spirits under the command of a human, a scene he had never encountered.

The Demigod Shana’s dominance and the Love God Shooter’s bizarre Light Arrows deeply impressed Ye Yuzhen, solidifying his resolve to continue walking the path of the Trial Taker.

Magic Armor Masters still needed to fight directly, but Trial Takers need only summon their demon spirits to resolve all issues.

"Trial Takers... can also be powerful... powerful enough to leave same-level Magic Armor Masters trailing behind..." watching the silhouette at the city gate, Ye Yuzhen’s gaze grew increasingly determined.
