Episode 4, Investigation, Kentas Prairie and Archmage Sasabi - Part 1
In the morning, after resting for the night, Angelo and the two came to a house that looked like a yurt...
"Is this here?"
Looking at the yurt in front of him, Angelo asked subconsciously.
"What? You look like you've seen this type of house before. Okay, let's go in!"
Ignoring Angelo's strange reaction, Riley walked in first.
Seeing this, Angelo took a deep breath and followed him in.
To Angelo's expectation, the layout inside was very simple. The bed was placed on the left side, with a low square table in the middle. Directly opposite the door sat an old man in red robes, and beside him
A woman with green hair, she looks young...
"The savior Vatano has been fighting against the Demon King Dauguda for us innocent people, but now Vatano has been captured. Alas..."
As he spoke, the old man sighed, and a woman with green hair sitting nearby asked in surprise:
"The savior Vatano has been captured? So I once saw four big guys leading a man to the north. Is this what these two brave brothers are looking for?"
In response to the two men's answers, Angelo and Reilly looked at each other, and the latter asked:
"Old man, do you know where Master Sasabi is?"
After Reilly finished speaking, he added a handful of firewood to the fire. Angelo, because he was not used to the atmosphere here, said hello to Reilly and left.
As soon as he walked out of the room, Angelo saw a person standing at the entrance of the village. Taking a chance, Angelo walked up, said hello, and then asked:
"Uncle, I don't quite understand. The owner of the hotel told us yesterday that you are the only one left in the village on this prairie. Where are the others?"
"Ah! Oh! You must be the brave men who came here yesterday!"
Angelo nodded without answering, looking at everything in the village boredly...
"She said the same thing. There were indeed several villages on the Kentas prairie, but you also know that because of the devil, those villages were all destroyed, and our nomadic village relied entirely on Sasabi's
Only with strength can we live peacefully on this prairie."
While talking to Angelo, the uncle kept looking towards the entrance of the village, with a worried look on his face from time to time...
When Angelo saw the unusual reaction of the uncle in front of him, he subconsciously asked:
"Are you waiting for your family?"
"Yes!"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Angelo did not continue to ask further. After all, what Angelo experienced when he came to this prairie, if it were an ordinary person, death would be nothing more than a common occurrence...
Thinking of this, Angelo couldn't help but lament the weakness of human beings again, and sighed deeply.
"Are you sighing? Are your family members missing too?"
"No, the purpose of my coming here is to defeat the devil and rescue the boy named Savior Vatano!"
"Oh! Well, young man, can I ask you a favor?"
"Is it because of your family?"
Angelo asked in surprise.
"Yes, I am waiting for my son and daughter-in-law. Before the Demon God appeared, the two of them once said that they would cross the narrow road to the south and then go to the other side of the mountain forest to find the power of the God of Thunder, but now...
…”
As he spoke, a sad look flashed across the middle-aged man's face, and then he looked at Angelo with hopeful eyes and said:
"I want to ask you to help find them. I believe they must still be alive, please!"
"Okay! Don't worry, uncle, we will find it!"
Before Angelo could reply, or when he was thinking of a way to refuse, the voice from behind directly blocked Angelo's refusal in his throat.
The latter immediately turned around and saw Rayleigh behind him looking at the middle-aged man behind Angelo with a smile on his face.
Then, before Angelo could speak, Riley spoke first:
"Angelo, let's go. Let's go to the store over there to replenish supplies. Let's go!"
Seeing that Angelo didn't respond, Reilly stepped forward and took hold of Angelo's arm, and then pulled twice.
As a last resort, Angelo could only suppress the problems in his heart and followed Reilly to the store.
Although neither of them asked the other about their next purpose, it was obvious that both of them regarded the other as their partner in the upcoming journey, and even Angelo himself was not aware of this...
Walking to the door of the store, the same yurt-style house made Angelo feel an inexplicable sense of dissonance. Ignoring Reilly who asked if he needed anything, Angelo looked at the pasture aside...
"Huh? Is that the little girl from yesterday?"
An inexplicable thought flashed through his mind. Angelo didn't think much, walked up and asked:
"Little sister? Is this your family's ranch?"
"Ah! Is it Brother Brave? Well, no, I'm just looking after everyone. What's the matter?"
"I want to ask you about a person named Sasabi, who is a mage. Do you know where he has appeared before?"
"Huh?~, I don't know this, but I think my father should know. You can wait here for a while, and I'll leave the horse to you to take care of..."
After saying that, before Angelo could refuse, the little girl handed the reins of the horse to Angelo and left quickly.
"Xixixixixi!"
The horse snorted, then came up to Angelo and sniffed...
While Angelo was teasing the horse, Reilly and a strange man walked in one after another and asked:
"I think you two should be brave! As for your question~"
As he spoke, the man pondered for a while, and then told everything he knew:
"I recently heard that Master Sasabi appeared in the south. I don't know if it's true, but I think you can go look for it at the spring in the south!"
"The spring in the south?"
Hearing an unfamiliar word, Angelo was stunned for a moment and glanced at Reilly, who shook his head and then looked at the man again...
"There are two springs in the south, one is called the Resurrection Spring and the other is called the Curse Spring. I think if Master Sasabi appears somewhere, it must be at the spring!"
After saying that, without Angelo and the other two thanking him, the little girl they saw yesterday suddenly exclaimed:
"Oh my God! Are you talking about that terrible spring water that can change the body of a living person?"
"Yes! But I think that's a rumor. I drank the water there once, and am I still alive today?"
Regarding his daughter's question, the father smiled and then explained it to her...
But this has nothing to do with Angelo and the others. At this time, the two of them have already embarked on the road ahead...
"Rayleigh! I don't understand why you agreed to that uncle's request just now. Do you know that if we really search, we will waste a lot of time!"
As soon as he left the village, Angelo couldn't help but ask the question he hadn't had time to ask just now.
Reilly, after listening to Angelo's question, smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then replied:
"I know what you mean, and I also understand that under the darkness, the couple may die, but ~ Angelo, did you pay attention to the uncle's eyes just now?"
"Eye?"
Thinking of this, Angelo's heart suddenly thumped for some reason. After taking a deep breath, he continued to ask:
"Then what? You can agree to look for them with just one look..."
Waving his hand, Reilly interrupted what Angelo was about to say, and then continued:
"To be honest, I actually know it in my heart, but when I see that look, that hopeful look, Angelo, have you ever thought about it, if they are still alive and we don't do anything,
Without our help, they will really die..."
As he spoke, Rayleigh had a complicated expression on his face and continued:
"As braves, we can give up everything, but we can't give up hope. Aren't you also a brave?"
"Me!...Oh~ okay, it's up to you!"
Reilly's words made Angelo unable to refute, and then he waved his hands with an indifferent expression, changed the subject, and asked:
"Where should we go next? One is to the south and the other is to the north. If we can't find the right direction... you should understand what I mean!"
"I know! Just...how to choose..."
As he spoke, Rayleigh took out two things, one was the direction discriminator he had seen before, used to avoid the ubiquitous devil, and the other...
Looking at the two clock-like things on the metal compass that were constantly rotating with Rayleigh's swing, Angelo asked curiously:
"Is this a compass?"
"Compass? What?"
"It's just something you use to identify directions!"
"Oh! Then this is indeed a compass,"
As he spoke, Rayleigh shook the position analyzer in his other hand and asked rather awkwardly:
"Look here, the direction shown on the compass points to the south, which is the direction we are going. I plan to find Master Sasabi first, but look at this, these red dots on the position analyzer..."
With that said, he handed the position analyzer to Angelo, who took a closer look and found that there were indeed many moving red dots in the direction they were facing. He counted them carefully and then gave up...
"If we take the right path, we will need to face countless battles, and if we follow the position identifier, we will need to go in a big circle, which is a waste of time..."
"Then choose the right path!"
Without giving Rayleigh any time to struggle, Angelo put away the discriminator directly.
Seeing Angelo's reaction, Reilly touched his forehead helplessly, then showed an expression of "It's up to you", then confirmed the direction, and the two hurriedly left.
However, not long after walking on the road, Angelo suddenly became alert, and then he looked around. After seeing that there was no movement, a puzzled expression appeared on his stern face, and he let out a light sigh:
"Hey! How...how is this possible?"
"What's wrong? Did you meet those guys so soon?"
Seeing Angelo's reaction, Rayleigh asked, then pulled out the Thunder Sword stuck behind his back, and looked around cautiously.
However, except for the "rustling" sound made by the wind blowing through the grass, there was nothing else.
However, all this made the two of them more alert. Then Rayleigh touched Angelo, and the two of them instantly became back-to-back, alert to everything happening around them.
If Dante were here at this time, he would definitely laugh at Angelo for being so timid.
They would definitely laugh at me, but luckily they didn't come.
Thinking of this, Angelo smiled bitterly.
In fact, it doesn't mean that Angelo will have such emotions as fear. It's because everything that happened here is too weird and subverts Angelo's cognition.
It obviously looks like a living creature, but inside it is composed of rows of lines. Is there anything else that has not yet appeared on this prairie...
At least now, Angelo has sensed unfamiliar hostility, and can even vaguely hear the sound of swords rubbing against each other, and the sound of some huge guys stepping on the ground...
But I just can’t see it, even if I just use the dimensional slash that disrupts the space...
Dimensional slashing is not necessarily useless. Angelo had just put away the knife when he heard Rayleigh behind him shouting:
"Be careful! This is a space trap, hurry up..."
Before he finished speaking, the scene in front of him changed instantly, and everything around him instantly became extremely illusory. Only a huge blue mecha was visible... No, it was the Demon God. I don't know when he appeared in this space, and
Angelo…
Standing on the shoulders of the blue demon god Shining Maru, looking at the several huge spherical creatures in front of him, the creature that could make a sound of "buji buji", Angelo put down his vigilance and looked at it.
I took a look at the space here...
"Hey! Rayleigh, is this the second dimension you are talking about?"
After knocking on Shining Wan's brain, Angelo asked loudly.
"No, with our life forms, the second level of space is not a place we can go at all. If my guess is good, this should be the gap between the second level and the main space, but these guys shouldn't have this kind of power
That’s right…”
While listening, Angelo nodded, and then instantly jumped off Shining Maru's shoulder. He used his mental power to communicate with the dragon-shaped hairband on his head in mid-air. The next moment...
Accompanied by a faint roar of a dragon, Angelo's figure instantly disappeared in mid-air, and was replaced by Ryujin Maru!
"Angelo! Can you hear me?"
Angelo, who had just tightened his grip on the dragon's horn, suddenly heard Rayleigh's voice coming into his mind from outside, and subconsciously replied and said hello.
"Angelo, listen, communicate with Ryujinmaru's soul first, don't treat it as a dead object, oh! It's the mecha you mentioned, and then control your own power to merge with Ryujinmaru..."
After knowing that Angelo had no experience in manipulating the Demon God, Reilly used spiritual communication to tell Angelo about the Demon God's manipulation method.
"Just like this!"
After saying that, through Ryujinmaru's eyes, Angelo saw Rayleigh controlling Shiningmaru to pull out the long sword from behind, and then made a strange posture, and then saw waves of ripples suddenly appearing in the surrounding space...
…
The next moment, a huge roar echoed around, and under Rayleigh's control, Shining Pill did not feel clumsy due to its huge size, but instead was extremely powerful and powerful.
"Hmm! I think I know what to do!"
Looking at Rayleigh who was fighting the demon, Angelo nodded subconsciously, then summoned Beowulf, and finally communicated with Ryujinmaru. After receiving a positive reply, Angelo closed his eyes, and his whole body
I devoted myself wholeheartedly to Ryujinmaru...
The next moment, with a sudden burst of magic power, I saw inside Ryuken Pill, with Angelo as the center, endless sacred light blending into everything around it.
At the same time, Rayleigh, who was fighting the devil outside, suddenly saw bursts of faint light coming from Ryujinmaru's body.
As time went by, the light became more and more dazzling. At the moment when Ryujinmaru's light evaporated to its extreme, Rayleigh forced the demon god opposite him back, then covered his eyes and looked at Angelo:
"That's..."
At this time, after the light dissipated, Ryujinmaru's appearance underwent some subtle changes.
Compared with the bloated body before, Ryujinmaru's body now looks a bit slender, and his powerful arms are shining with a blazing white light.
The originally metallic feet were also covered with scales of some unknown creatures. The biggest change was that two pairs of wings sprouted from the back.
It obviously looks like the feathers of birds, but the flash of metallic luster on them adds a very mysterious color to these two pairs of wings.
"Wow! That's so cool!"
He jumped on the spot twice, without the sluggish feeling before. Now Angelo felt as if he had magnified himself many times, which was amazing.
The next moment, Ryujinmaru's majestic voice interrupted Angelo's experience.
"Hmm! War Wolf Dragon Shen Wan Ginseng is here! Angelo, let's go!"
"Zure! Well, I really can't bear my temper!"
After jumping on the spot twice, Ryujinmaru's right arm was brought behind his waist, and endless light converged on his right hand, and then:
"Ha! Wolf Warrior Light Dragon Cannon!"
Ryujinmaru shouted loudly and punched instantly, and a burst of dazzling light burst out from the fist.
In an instant, the space was shattered, and the demons shrouded in front were instantly reduced to ashes under this blow. Angelo and Rayleigh, who were pulled into the gap in space, and the rebellious demons also appeared after this blow.
On the Kentas prairie...
Seeing the demon in front of him disappear without a trace in an instant, and the familiar scenes around him, Rayleigh, who was sitting in the cab, patted his chest with some fear, and then complained loudly in the direction of Ryujinmaru:
"Angelo! Are you going to kill me? Please be more careful next time!"
"Ahem! Oh! Okay, I understand! Just back off!"
Angelo replied with some embarrassment, and controlled Ryujin Maru to wave to Shining Maru, then incited the two pairs of wings behind him (4 pieces, please refer to Beowulf) and jumped up.
"Then, let's try these two tricks!"
Looking at the remaining demon gods, some are already planning to escape, and some are even slowly retreating without leaving a trace.
Ryujinmaru looked down indifferently from high in the sky, then looked at the demon gods on the periphery, pointed his left hand to the dragon claw-shaped shoulder armor on the right, and then pointed forward again,
I saw the dragon claw-shaped shoulder armor instantly detached from Ryujin Maru, turned into a cross-shaped disc in mid-air, then spun a few times in mid-air, and instantly flew to the outermost demon god.
The sharp blade instantly cut across the bodies of the demon gods, causing an explosion.
"Then finally, use this move to clear the field! Rayleigh! Come up!"
After saying hello, Rayleigh, who was confused, controlled the Shining Pill to fly into the air. After shooting down several demons who were trying to escape,
I saw the two pairs of wings behind Ryujinmaru suddenly wrapping around Ryujinmaru's body, and as the wings lit up for a while,
Energy bombs fell from the wings one by one, hitting the remaining enemies very accurately. Finally, in the explosion, all the demon gods who came to surround them disappeared.
Ryujin Wan and Shining Wan also disappeared. Looking at the messy ground around them, the two of them had mixed feelings for a moment.
This is just the beginning. It was just a small fight, but even a small fight destroyed this place into a mess.
They have the ability to resist, but those who have no ability to resist, such as you in the nomadic village...
Thinking of this, Angelo sighed, and then patted Reilly's shoulder. The latter's body suddenly tensed up, and then he hurriedly covered his chest and took a few deep breaths.
"What's wrong? Are you injured?"
Seeing Reilly's reaction, Angelo asked guiltily.
"No! It's just that I was swept away by the aftermath of the explosion just now. My chest feels a little tight. Okay, let's cover up the battlefield a little, otherwise everything that happens here will expose us."
After finishing speaking, Rayleigh pushed Angelo away, then ran to the remains of the demon, dug a few times into the ground with his weapon, and buried the remains.
Seeing Rayleigh's clumsy look, Angelo couldn't help but sigh, then walked forward and said
"If you do it like this, we won't be able to clean it even if it's dark! Look at me!"
Then, with Rayleigh's surprised look on his face, Angelo summoned Beowulf, jumped up, jumped to the highest point, changed his posture in mid-air, and then kicked down suddenly.
I saw Angelo's figure like a meteorite falling from the sky, with blazing white flames surrounding his body and pulling out a long tail in mid-air...
"boom!"
With a huge roar, a huge deep pit appeared where Angelo fell. Even Rayleigh, who was standing far away, felt the ground vibrate.
As the smoke and dust dissipated, Angelo jumped up from the pit, and then with Reilly's surprised eyes, he took back Beowulf.
"Ah! How did you do this? You don't have space equipment, but you can put this weapon away. By the way, it seems that the previous change of Ryujinmaru was also due to it, right?"
"Well! Yes! That's because..."
Later, while cleaning up the debris scattered around, he told Reilly the origin of this magic tool and his true identity...
"Ah? So you must be a half-demon, right?"
"Yes! Of course, compared to this title, I prefer you to call me Demon Hunter, ahem! Although I don't really want to use this title! This is my uncle's profession! That's it..."
After responding a few words, Angelo's demon posture flickered on his body, which was different from Rayleigh's original reaction.
According to normal people, just like Ji Liye, when she saw Nero's right arm for the first time, she subconsciously stepped back. This was due to the psychological fear of the devil, but Rayleigh...
"Wow! So beautiful? I never imagined that there is such a creature. Although everyone talks about devils and devils, this is the first time I have seen a devil like you. It is so beautiful..."
As he spoke, looking at Angelo's increasingly gloomy expression, Reilly quickly corrected him:
"Ahem! It's not beautiful, it's too cool, too cool!"
"It doesn't matter! For a demon, charm is just the first impression that humans have after seeing it, but the demon itself does not produce this kind of emotion, or there are many types of demons."
"Uh! That's not what I meant. I mean, you look no different from a human being, and you even feel the same to me, although you usually look a bit indifferent..."
While the two were talking, Angelo suddenly waved his hand to stop Rayleigh. Then he walked to the remains of a demon and picked up something that looked like a cabbage...
"What is this? Does it look edible? And this..."
While holding the thing that looked like a cabbage, out of the corner of his eye he saw a half-pressed scroll and some miscellaneous things.
After that, the two of them did not say anything more, but searched carefully, finally buried the remains of the demon in the pit, and then counted the "trophies" they had harvested!
"This is cabbage. It is edible. Eating it can replenish the energy you have consumed. It also seems to increase your intelligence. I never thought you could find something like this here!"
As he said that, he put down the cabbage in his hand and picked up another one.
"This should be a red medicine. Drinking it after an injury can restore the injury. This should be a strength potion. As the name suggests, it can enhance strength. As for these things..."
Looking at the things listed on the other side, one is grass shining with colorful light, one is a glass tube containing a golden ball, the other is liquid in a bag, and the scroll...
"Although I don't know what it is, I feel it should be useful. I think Master Sasabi should know what it is. Well, you should take these with you, otherwise it will be confused!"
After saying that, Reilly opened the bottle containing the red medicine and drank it in one gulp.
"It doesn't look like there has been any change. Isn't the medicine you drank fake?"
Seeing that there was no change on Rayleigh's face, Angelo couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay. Although this thing seems to have an unknown origin, but anyway, I don't think they bring poison that can poison themselves. It's just cabbage these days..."
As he spoke, looking at the cabbage in his hand, Lei Li's face suddenly became a little gloomy.
"What's wrong? Judging from your reaction, are these things from your hometown?"
"no!"
Reilly replied in the negative, then stood up, gave Angelo one of the cabbage in his hand, and then started eating by himself, while replying:
"These days, cabbage can only be grown in places with warm climates, and it must be carefully taken care of by many people. And the cabbage we have now is from those guys, which means..."
At this point, Reilly didn't speak, and Angelo understood what he meant.
Then he took a deep look at the cabbage in his hand and said with a sneer:
"Just consider these as prepayments!"
After saying that, Angelo took a hard bite, and then quickly caught up with Reilly who was walking in front...
