Chapter 1025: Chapter 1025
Seeing the city, Du You was unable to judge the strength of the people inside based on the city itself. However, a city built on a major thoroughfare definitely wouldn’t have many ordinary people. At a glance, almost all were soldiers.
Especially in this situation, ordinary people were likely already evacuated in large numbers.
"Shadow Demons aren’t skilled at creating defensive fortifications, so we don’t have to worry about strong city defenses resisting our attack. We strike fast and move on, not staying in one place too long,"
Du You also worried that his powerful attacks would draw the attention of a fifth-tier master, which would spell trouble for him.
The two sisters exchanged looks without speaking. At this point, they were in a highly synchronized state. Normally, telepathy and combat were not the same, but now the two of them operated as one.
Platform Floating Cloud appeared, and a group of people stood on the Platform Floating Cloud. Without a second thought, Du You took action, Destruction Flames being the best against such targets. He didn’t release the spell at full power but merely unleashed over fifty fireballs.
Mid-air fireballs kept forming. Could the people below not know they were under attack? In an instant, there was chaos below, many attacking upwards, while Du You watched coldly from the side.
"Good, no fifth-tier people. At most they’re fourth-tier. Perfect for my battle,"
While thinking this, Du You continued to gather fireballs. A minute later, he guided the fireballs to plummet from the sky, not at full power, yet the energy expenditure was substantial.
Over fifty fireballs finally struck, and no one present could withstand their force. The continuous explosions of the fireballs turned the entire city into rubble.
Without magic barriers, the city walls and arrow towers, and other constructions, simply could not withstand such attacks.
Following the fireball explosions, a large number of Destruction Evil Dogs appeared, wreaking havoc all around. The whole defensive stronghold fell into chaos; no one could organize any kind of effective counterattack.
"Let’s join in too," Lin Yushi said and spread her wings, flying into the sky. Wherever the most people were gathered, she directed a Demon-breaking Scattering there, and a torrent of Arrow Rains exploded on impact. Following that, a large number of golden Demon Extermination Spirits stood up and continued wreaking havoc and slaughter in the city.
"What are these things? How come the aura of their power feels somewhat similar to ours?"
"Nonsense, how can it be similar to us? These beings don’t carry a hint of demonic power,"
"Could there be a traitor among us? But I’ve never heard of such combat skills. Damn it, that woman’s hand isn’t red; she must have stolen our power!"
These scourges of demons didn’t possess many magic skills; among the three great Shadow Demons, they were the only ones whose magic skills were weak, mainly relying on combat skills for battle. But ordinary warrior skills were far from useful in such situations. Only a few masters could manage to eliminate some enemies, but they were too few in number. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩
And whenever such a master appeared, they faced the onslaught of Du You and Lin Yucha.
Facing a lone opponent, Du You’s Soul Pierce and Lin Yucha’s Spiral Snipe would take to the field immediately, without hesitation. If facing a larger group, then Dark Flame Arrow Array and the newly upgraded Whirlpool Arrow would show their strength as well.
When a lot were gathered, especially with the Whirlpool Arrow, almost everything within its range, both visible objects and energy, was annihilated.
In the smashed city, smoke soon filled the air and golden beasts rampaged unchecked. The entire fortress was cleared out in a short time. Only after the situation had completely stabilized did Du You then proceed to the City Lord’s Mansion at the city center.
By then, most of the people outside were practically wiped out, and those inside had nowhere to run. In the City Lord’s Mansion which Du You had intentionally avoided earlier, he made his way in, eliminating any resistance and finally found what he wanted.
"Haha, got something good here, Yucha, check this out; it’s a cultivation secret method. With a little research and some extrapolation using Crystal Coins, your intermediate Demon Extermination Power could potentially advance to an advanced level,"
Indeed, this was one of Du You’s goals for this mission: to find the high-level cultivation secret methods of the Shadow Demons. The two sisters had previously advanced using ordinary intermediate magic cultivation secrets, which were not high-level and had a limit of only level 40.
And the effect at the same level was far inferior to high-level skills. To continue advancing to the upper limit of level 60, they needed to find high-level cultivation skills. As Du You thought, these Shadow Demon big shots indeed had them.
Thinking about it, the Shadow Demons were originally specialized in combating demons, among which the sixth-tier enemies were not few.
To fight against demons, the various cultivation secrets of the Shadow Demons were public knowledge in the past and could be learned by anyone. Though many years had passed and most people no longer possessed the high-level secrets, they were certainly not rare among the upper class.
An ordinary person might not find them useful, but for Demon Hunting God Archers like the two sisters, getting their hands on them was a different matter entirely. Lin Yucha nodded slightly, then quickly secured the items.
"All set, we’ve got what we came for, let’s go. We’ll slowly open the sphere back home; who knows, we might find some lineage,"
Lineage Bottles were indeed very rare, even more so than Celestial Star Bottles. Du You had prepared a Celestial Star Bottle for Elsa but hadn’t managed to buy a second Lineage Bottle, so they had to rely on luck. Fortunately, having hunted so many Shadow Demons, even without them teaming up, even if lineages were scarce, they should still get some.
This was also why Du You targeted major cities that were difficult to deal with from the start. It was a risky move, as attacking major cities too often could easily draw in powerful fifth-tier enemies.
"Wait, this thing, this is my advancement material," suddenly, Lin Yucha said, pointing to a bow on the wall.
"Your advancement material? You’re only left with the Magic Arrow Aura skill, aren’t you? After this, won’t all your skills have advanced, congratulations then,"
It turned out Lin Yucha was the first among them to have all her skills advanced.
"It’s all thanks to you, Master. Without you, we wouldn’t be where we are now," Lin Yucha gave Du You a tender look, then stepped forward and secured the longbow. This was an Aura Skill, a significant boost for the two sisters.
Exiting the hall, Du You saw that the battle outside had reached its final stages. The remaining people were hiding somewhere. It would be too much trouble to find each one, better to let it go.
