Master Of None

Chapter 723: 723. Charge Ahead

Su moved to cover Remey. The demons may have been wielding swords but that did not stop them from throwing both of them at the same time towards the ice border wall Walker had created. The swords were not exceptionally sharp and when Su blocked them some even shattered. One of the intact swords was carved and looked very ornate. Even decorative.

”Thank you Su, now itʼs my turn.” Remey had one of the bottles of yellow slime body. She knew that this could be very dangerous to use as a weapon since it could harm all of them and not just the demons.

Using the alchemic fire and the assistance of the alchemy fire spirit she made sure the bottle was well sealed. She started to heat it up and waited as the pressure built. The slime body inside was getting forced to expand but couldnʼt due to the resistance of the glass that didnʼt even melt away with the acidic nature of the slime body.

When Remey had felt it was enough she looked toward the three demons that had gotten close enough and tossed the jar over the wall. She had the height to aim properly and watched as it fell. Just before it hit, she was covered by Su and the two heard the shattering of glass along with a chorus of hissing sounds.

When the two looked next they saw that the pressurized slime body had splattered all over the three demons causing them to struggle in pain. However, the real attack was not to cause them to be defeated but to ruin their perfectly symmetrical appearances. The one that had been hit directly had lost most of its clean and pristine appearance. The clothing it had worn burning and melting away.

The reaction to losing the perfection was instant. The demon stopped and pulled two daggers from its waist. The demon ended itself the same way as the other had and an explosion of darkness elemental mana rang out. The other two near it were the same. They felt that the damage they received ruined them. The followed the first and two more explosions rang out.

”These demons canʼt be doing this seriously. Itʼs just too…” Su gave Remey a pat on the shoulder. They both agreed. Remey just couldnʼt help but see the terror of this too much. There was always the chance that there would be an explosion when making new potions or very dangerous potions. She would never want to be hurt or perish in such a way.

However, these demons were doing it on purpose.

”Walker! They are coming towards us less. Thereʼs someone that just came through the gate. Or, maybe they jumped from the top of the gate.” Gil had picked out the person and watched them walk toward the mass of demons.

When the burst of light took form above that person they all knew who they were. It was Barry and Ibis. The white summon of Ibis was flying through the air with wings like blades. They sliced through seven demons as if they were air. The explosions that rang out showed the party that even without the demons activating it themselves, they would explode when seriously injured.

”What does Barry have in his hands?” Walker could make out a glint in the distance. But he saw that the mana that left the demons was being pulled towards him. ”Itʼs absorbing the darkness mana from the explosions!”

Gil had the better eyesight and looked carefully. He could see the crystal appearance of a large ax. The darkness elemental mana was dancing around inside of it as if it was forced to be inside the ax or else. ”Itʼs an ax made of crystals! It looks like itʼs from the elves.” Gil had no sooner spoken than Barry had released an attack.

Barry was not in a berserk state but the swing of the ax was still powerful enough to take down fifteen demons. The shocking part was that the ax also let out a blade of darkness elemental mana that took out ten more demons behind the ones that Barry defeated.

The following explosion fueled the ax again and the darkness elemental mana inside was even more powerful. The party understood why the demons were no longer charging at them. Walker willed the ice border wall to melt away and the party was on the ground in minutes. ”We are moving forward to help them. Midnight, see if the golem can join in.

It should have the strength to resist the explosions by itself.”

Midnight huffed in response and the fire spirit came out to speak with her. Walker could feel the fire elemental mana surge and the spirit took control of the golem. When Midnight and the golem roared together the echo was enough to affect the far of demons slightly. Midnight and the golem started off on a straight shot toward the demons.

”Walker, I will remain back firing arrows. These demons are almost robotic. They donʼt even speak or roar. I donʼt think they are really different demons anymore.” Gil had been taking note of the actions of each demon and found that they were definitely lacking consciousness and their own will. They were more or less monsters now.

”I thought that would be the case. We need to take down the pride demon general. It has to be the cause of this.” Walker moved as fast as he could to keep up with Midnight and the golem. He was planning on creating another ice border wall for Remey and Su when they were closer. It would allow protection to Remey who had plenty of the acidic yellow slime body to use as a weapon.

Walker could even pull more out from his storage for her.

They charged ahead with this in mind for strategy.
