014. Soul Crystal
As the saying goes, a lean dragon is still stronger than a lizard. The eight-level war demon still has a certain combat power even if it is covered in wounds. With the outbreak of desperate struggles, he almost overturned Sassenas several times.
Sustheras's dragon claw was inserted into the flesh and blood of the Brutal Demon's neck, and with the strength of his body, he could barely suppress it under his body.
Distina was a little slower, and immediately used her charm ability to attack the Berserker after rushing up.
Although her level was too low, she could not succeed at all, but she interfered with the will of the Berserker Demon through continuous efforts, which made him unable to concentrate on resisting for a while.
In this way, with the assistance of Distina, Sutheras kept tearing and biting the body of the Berserker, and finally the wound on his neck made him dying.
"You despicable worm..."
The stubborn brutal war demon still couldn't withstand the torture, and his head drooped in a low curse.
【Get 150 Soul Experience】
The level 8 war demon is indeed extraordinary, and it suddenly set a new record for the number of soul experience gained in Sassenas in a single time.
And the spoils are not just this - the dragon claws penetrated the Brutal Demon's chest and took out the heart inside.
"Gaba, Gaba,"
【Plunder failed】
【Successful plundering, gaining ability - soul traction】
[Soul Traction - Extract soul crystals from the corpse that has just died and consume a certain amount of soul experience]
"Soul Crystal?"
After seeing this name, relevant content appeared in Sutheras's inheritance knowledge. The Soul Crystal is like its name, which is the crystal of the soul of a creature after death.
Soul Crystal has many uses. The simplest and most crude one is to be used as a food for demons to recover and improve their strength, just like humans eating sugar beans.
It is also an important material, such as abyss rituals, abyss portals, and other magic arrays, which require soul crystals.
Therefore it is also a hard currency in the abyss.
Sassenas looked at the corpse of the war demon, and the Dragon Claw made a virtual grip on it, using the ability [Soul Traction].
【Consuming 12 points of soul experience】
As the system prompts appeared, strands of black fog lines gathered into his dragon claws, and in a blink of an eye, a black crystal the size of a pigeon egg formed.
This is the so-called soul crystal, much smaller than Sassenas imagined.
Put the soul crystal into the leather armor that Distina covered her chest and put it in, and Sassenas went to deal with the corpses of the ape demons.
During the process, Sustheras found that it was easy to fail to use the plunder ability for demons who were higher than him, but the more they improved their abilities. These dozen demon corpses succeeded seven times, but they directly upgraded [Claw Strong] to level 2.
At the same time, Sustheras also gained a capability called [Powl] from the ape demon, similar to the Knight's charge, but can shuttle back and forth twice, and temporarily increase strength and speed to a certain extent.
Sustheras also used soul traction on these demons. Except for another demon captain who contributed two soul crystals, everything else was without exception.
After everything was settled, Sutheras took Distinna back to the forest and continued on his way.
But now he was thinking about whether to find a place to live first, or to go to the nearby gathering place based on the information he got from the Berserker Demon.
Of course, it is the identity of the free demon.
However, before he could draw some thoughts, a new choice appeared in front of Sutheras.
...
...
The curtain of the dark night gradually began to cover the blue sky, and the busy people outside gradually put down their work and embarked on the way home.
In Nordren, outside the city at night is not safe, whether it is forest or farmland, there is danger for unarmed civilians.
So before nightfall completely, many people had already rushed back to the city, gathered at their neighbors' homes to chat, or went to the tavern on the street to have a glass of inferior ale and listen to stories.
Just like the scene in the barrel tavern at this time.
"The Snow King took two personal guards and forced himself to pass through the demon's siege. The frost and sadness of the inlaid magic crystal in his hand was wrapped in the sharp blizzard and slashed on the demon's portal. The scorching flames instantly extinguished!
Then there was a rumbling sound, and the huge rocks dozens of feet tall collapsed into pieces, and countless demons roared and screamed from behind the portal..."
A handsome blonde boy was sitting on a table, stepping on a chair, telling the story of the demon with a passionate expression. From time to time, he would pluck the strings in his hand to stir up the emotions of the listeners in the tavern.
His name is Olicia, and he is a wandering bard, but the story he tells is the history of the continent of Nordron - although there are many modifications added to it.
Nearly a thousand years ago, countless demons appeared out of thin air in the north, sweeping over half of the Nordron continent with the destruction of war.
The demons were extremely powerful and the human army could not stop them, causing the earth to cry for a moment, the creatures wailed, and the darkness almost swallowed the entire sky.
Fortunately, just as Nordron was about to completely fall into the killing of demons, the Snow King, who was in the mouth of the bard, appeared, united the other two kingdoms to form an elite force, sneaked into the demon army from behind, and closed the portal of the abyss.
But even so, the number of demons left in the Nordron continent was amazing. War almost swallowed up all humans, and very few survived.
In this war, the powerful heroes fell on the way to charge, while the weak men hiding in the corners saved their lives.
Although the demons have not been eliminated, they have left behind the disaster that lasted the previous year. Countless monsters were born because of them. The Nordron continent is still very dangerous for these weak survivors.
The rupture of civilization inheritance has left mysterious knowledge nowhere to be found, and the inferior and ignorant racial talent has made professionals unrequited. The grand occasion of Nordron a thousand years ago has ceased to exist, and has completely entered the Dharma-Ending Age.
If there weren't monsters appearing in the forest outside, the civilians might have really forgotten all the magic.
Even so, most adventurers are just simple warriors and archers. Like demons, mages will only appear in the mouths of bards like Olicia.
“Give me a glass of the best wine in the store!”
After telling the story, Olicia shouted, and the maid twisted her slender waist brought the wine glass to him.
He turned his head and wanted to pick up the wine glass, but froze as he reached out his hand, looking at the maid in front of him in a daze.
"Sir, your wine." The maid reminded softly.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm rude."
The numb tone penetrated the noisy noise, Olicia immediately came to her senses and smiled apologetically.
"But I can't blame me. No one would have thought that there would be flowers like you in such a tavern. It seems that I will stay here for a few more days."
The maid lowered her head shyly and did not answer the conversation.
But Olicia would not give up so easily. As a bard, he was very talkative, which made the maid around him always smile.
The maid doesn't say much, and occasionally asks a few questions, most of them are about demons.
Olicia also noticed this, and then he focused on the topic on the demon, telling various stories boasting, observing the maid's emotions, and looking for opportunities.
He even whispered in the maid's ear that he knew how to summon the demon.
Finally, when he felt that the relationship between the two was similar, he asked tentatively: "The moon is very beautiful tonight. I wonder if Miss Weilin would like to go to the attic with me to watch the moonlight?"
"If you can tell me how to summon demons, we can not only appreciate the moonlight, but also do what you want."
The maid stared at Olicia with a smirk, and her bright eyes suddenly filled with seductive desire.
The sunny smile on Olicia's face suddenly disappeared, but after a moment of stunnedness, the corners of her mouth changed into a unique curve.
He knew that with his handsome face and elegant temperament, he once again easily captured a maid.
