Chapter 418: Chapter 418

Soon, everything visible ahead was blurred by Du You’s magic. Unleashing a level 10 spell, even split into ten paths, was still something Du You’s current magical power could easily sustain.

After a fire swept through, all that was left were flickers of firelight. "How are you two doing?" Du You looked at Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi lying on the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs, using this method to resist the heat.

"We’re okay." The voices of the two sisters sounded from beneath their fur.

Du You nodded, glanced at the panel, and found that neither of them showed signs of poisoning and there was no detoxification prompt. With this, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they were immune to the toxins he released.

While a direct attack couldn’t be mitigated, the residual effects could still be resisted.

He gained a better understanding of the slave contract’s effect.

When the fire spread, the Demon Nest began to change rapidly. More and more demons burrowed into the fleshy wall of the nest, forming flesh puppets before falling.

Then, the demonic corpses began to merge with each other, melting and forming slightly weaker flesh puppets. But even then, they had reached the second tier. Orıginal content can be found at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚~𝙣𝙚𝙩

The demonic energy surrounding them was enough to resist the moderate flames.

When the fire disappeared, Du You found that the demons on the ground had nearly been burned away. There were also very few active demons left in the nest.

Du You could feel the nest writhing intensely as if it were seething in rage.

Since the motionless demon nest couldn’t speak, Du You didn’t much care.

However, the hundreds of second-tier flesh puppets that had formed were quite different.

"Hmph, although you’ve reached the second tier, you’re all just empty shells with no skills. You mean nothing," Du You dismissively regarded the approaching flesh puppets.

If these creatures weren’t so disgusting, Du You would have easily ignored them. Perhaps their demonic power would affect others significantly, but to Du You, these flesh puppets posed less threat than the Lesser Demons.

Du You personally took action, unleashing arrays of Holy Light Arrows. The resistance of the flesh puppets to the Holy Light had obviously increased, yet under continuous attacks, their power was depleted rather quickly.

Occasionally, one or two managed to slip past, only to be annihilated by Xiaozi’s Thunder Light Orb.

Despite their numbers, they were simply too fragile. Even those that managed to bypass Xiaozi couldn’t get past the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs. With one swipe of their claws, a flesh puppet would be turned into minced meat, then incinerated under the flames.

Although the level of the Black Flame Iron Collar wasn’t particularly high, the flames it produced were thorough, especially here.

The battle lasted only ten minutes before all the flesh puppets were wiped out. Du You collected over twenty red orbs, all of which were spoils for him.

"Haha, now what will you do?" Du You laughed as he watched the writhing demon nest in front of him.

Regrettably, the demon nest couldn’t speak. In essence, it was an immobile demon that could summon others, virtually invincible on its own turf. Today, however, it had met its match.

Without wasting any more words, Du You aimed at the demon nest and cast a Disintegration Spell. With the impact of the spell, a myriad of cracks appeared on the nest’s surface. "Oh my, this large mother nest sure has some serious resistance."

Du You continued to cast Disintegration Spell after Disintegration Spell. After about twenty repetitions, the demon nest could no longer endure. Its flesh turned into chunks, and its core was shattered by Du You’s attack.

Du You had no use for the demon core, so he directly annihilated it.

When the demon nest vanished, the surrounding demons, which had still been writhing a moment ago, mostly died out. Nonetheless, a small number remained alive, attempting to escape from Du You.

These demons were escaping by burrowing into the ground. Normally, this would have been the perfect escape method, but with the Death Scorpion lurking underground, those digging were immediately turned into fragments by a twist of the sand.

"Weird. This place is pretty dangerous. I’d think it wouldn’t be easy for a typical second-tier person to get through safely. How did they manage to find a job-change clue in this area?" Du You shook his head, somewhat puzzled. However, at this moment, a temporary mission appeared.

Temporary mission: Clean up the Demon Corpse Town, Completed.

"It’s been a while since I last had a temporary mission. I wonder what the reward will be this time." Du You’s eyes lit up. So far during his ventures into the Derived World, he had been given the final mission once and an upgrade mission another time. In these missions, aside from the regular loot, he was never given a treasure chest.

This was a new chest. Du You opened his panel to unlock the new box.

Cleaning up a small town; the Demon Nest was at level 15, the reward should be fairly good.

Demon Wheel (Bow): Maximum draw force 17, Penetration increase 15, Flesh dissolution. (Deep Red)

"Not exactly useful for me. Wouldn’t any mage items be nice? But I guess it’s all right, I do have two archers here. They can’t use it at the moment, but it will come in handy when they change jobs." Du You put away the Demon Wheel.

Regrettably, the chest seemed to have exhausted its magic and collapsed. He thought he might find something extra, but other than a bow and five hundred red crystal coins, there was nothing else.

Thinking about it, this bow was deep red, the strongest equipment he had gotten so far.

"Master, look over here! This place has a mark." Lin Yushi unexpectedly found a mark on a broken wall. It had "Demon Hunter Shooter" written on it, then an arrow.

Job-Change Mission: Demon Hunter Shooter, Accept?

Seeing this, Du You finally understood: "Let’s go ahead. This is your job-change mission."

The two sisters nodded and promptly accepted. The next moment, the mission changed.

Job-Change Mission: Demon Hunter Shooter - first round: Personally kill a demon, clear the path to the miners’ training camp, and prove your determination to hunt demons, Complete.

Du You was stunned, the first round had already been completed. Then, the mission refreshed.

Job-Change Mission: Demon Hunter Shooter - second round: Activate the Job-Change Altar, communicate with the ancient Heroic Spirits.

"The altar should be just ahead, let’s go take a look." Seeing the battlefield was nearly cleaned up, Du You led the two of them further in.
