Chapter 137 Shadow Demon
Shadow Demon, a demon that can move in the shadows and is good at stealth and assassination.

Their assassination ability is stronger than that of the Claw Demon, but the night is their home ground, because when they sneak into the shadows during the day, the more textured shadows will appear more abrupt.

It was two meters tall, thin, and its body was covered with shadows like black smoke. Its head and face could not be seen at a glance.

"Draw your swords!" As the shadow demon appeared, Tebetha ordered Gravichi and others to stop shooting.

Although they were positioned as machine gunners, Gravizi and others were wearing heavy armor.

The monsters on the battlefield had already been slaughtered by the black-armored skeleton general.

For a shadow demon that can jump and shuttle in the shadows of other creatures, it is more threatening than the scattered goblins in the fire suppression field.

Following Taibetha's instructions, Gravichi and his four companions removed their machine guns.

Taking out shields and hatchets, the four already strong men instantly turned into shield guards.

They are good at cooperating among five people, and several of them also have close combat capabilities.

Fortunately, they are all machine gunners. If they were replaced by real archers, there would be many rangers who are good at close combat. They may not be good at breaking into battle, but they are usually very good at using knives.

The Gravizi team has high combat skills. The reason they came to Bear Pig Town is to visit Spring College.

They plan to send their children to school and also live a stable life.

Originally, I was planning to apply to be a supporting team for the strategy team, but no decent strategy team has come to the 375 Courtyard, so I continued to accept some mercenary missions.

"Cousin! Clear a way!" Gravichi and the other three were on high alert. Tabesha's blood was boiling, her eyes fixed on the shadow demon a hundred meters away.

There were still many monsters fighting with the Black-Armored Skeleton General between the two. Taibesha wanted the Black-Armored Skeleton General to clear a space for fighting with the Shadow Demon to prevent the Shadow Demon from running around with the help of the shadows on the battlefield.

"Don't move!" Mu Hua stopped Taibetha's intention to kill.

The fighting on the battlefield was chaotic. Mu Hua locked onto the aura of the shadow demon and raised the staff in his hand.

"Bone Soul!"

A vicious mana ghost shot towards the shadow demon.

"Stop! Human, I'm just passing by, there's no need for us to have a conflict." The shadow demon screamed and his figure suddenly disappeared.

At this moment, everyone could clearly see an unconventional shadow on the ground moving among the shadows within a dozen meters.

The white-skeletal soul with a strange mouth opened like it was chasing the shadow, constantly changing its position while floating.

"Defense." Tabetha's pupils contracted, and the four Gravichis squatted back to back, ready to fight.

Shadow demons are mid-level demons. Although their growth is relatively weak among mid-level demons, their elusive racial talent makes them both difficult and dangerous.

These demons are very strange, but they are not invincible, especially when they turn into shadows. Attacking that kind of shadow can more easily cause fatal damage to them.

They can just move quickly in the shadows within a certain range. If you are not careful, they will crawl out from under your feet, tear your tendons, and cut your throat.

Shadow Demons are very dangerous, especially in the chaos of battle, where they are very capable of causing disruption.

Under its deliberate defense, Mu Hua's identification technique could not see its attributes, but the level of his identification technique was too low, and it could not detect any interference or defense.

In order to avoid accidents, Mu Hua stopped Taibesha from fighting the opponent head-on.

Demons are not monsters. They like to talk nonsense, and the frequency of their nonsense is inversely proportional to their body size. The thinner and shorter the demon looks, the more it likes to talk nonsense.

The devil's words could not be trusted, and Mu Hua basically ignored the nonsense about passing by. If given the chance, it would definitely cut the throats of several people without hesitation.

Mu Hua used his mental power to guide the Bone Soul to hunt down the Shadow Demon. The opponent found that it could not get rid of the Bone Soul for a while, so the shadow twisted rapidly, changed direction, and shot towards Mu Hua.

The Bone Soul has a tracking function. If the caster focuses on guiding it, the tracking effect will be stronger and can even avoid obstacles along the way.

This shadow demon has no way to counteract the Bone Soul, so it can only try to kill the caster to release the Bone Soul's lock.

The shadow demon kept dodging, but Mu Hua felt relieved. Compared with other monsters, the strength of demons of the same race varied greatly.

Other monsters can be considered elite. Assessing the combat power of demons has always been a headache for people, and those who specialize in identification are also important members of an adventure team.

I can't see the attributes of the Shadow Demon, but it can be scared by a Bone Soul and seek to fight to the death with the caster. It seems that this Shadow Demon is not that strong.

"Necromancer! Stop it. I am here to hunt goblins as well. We should cooperate. I can help you clean up the scum here."

The roaming shadow demon shouted again. Although it was begging for mercy from Mu Hua, the nearby goblins ignored it and its speed in rushing towards Mu Hua did not slow down at all.

"Die!" A black-armored skeleton general let out a dull cry of killing.

The heavy steps left an afterimage as he moved, and the black-armored skeleton general's giant sword slashed towards the shadow demon's moving path.

Feeling the threat of the giant sword, the shadow demon suddenly appeared behind a big goblin as if it had crawled out of the ground.

The giant sword cut the big goblin in half, but the shadow demon stopped and jumped out quickly, avoiding the slash. With a flash of shadow, it merged into the shadow of another goblin nearby and continued to rush towards Mu Hua. Between the shadows, the shadow demon moved very quickly. Unless you use a large-scale attack method, it is difficult to lock on to them. Hunting them down often requires prediction.

The shadow demon suddenly attacked, and two black-armored skeleton generals who had killed all the monsters around them chased after it with swords, and behind them was the elusive white bone soul.

The Bone Soul is good in every way except that its speed is a little too fast.

This magic is really scary when it is used for several rounds of siege, but Mu Hua can't afford that kind of fighting style for the time being.

"Boom!" The thunder struck and crushed dozens of goblins who were trying to besiege Taibesa. Taibesa raised her warhammer, her eyes fixed on the shadow rushing towards Mu Hua.

At this time, the big goblins, ogres and goblin mages on the battlefield had basically been slaughtered by the Black-Armored Skeleton General.

Gravichi waved his hand and prepared to engage in close combat with the remaining dwarf-like low-level goblins, but Taibetha raised her hand to stop him.

"Defend and wait for my cousin to deal with the shadow demon." Taibetha said coldly.

"Don't you want help? The Shadow Demon is very troublesome, and he even asked the summoned beasts to retreat." Gravichi frowned.

At this moment, Gravizi might be more nervous than Tabitha. If the shadow demon rushed towards him, he would probably have no choice but to fight to the death with the other party.

"I think I know what he wants to do. What about the energy source? Even this shadow demon shouldn't be able to hurt him..." Tabitha tightened the hammer in her hand, brewing kinetic energy under her feet, her tone a little confused.

At this time, the Shadow Demon was glad that he did not cause trouble for Taibetha, because he was most afraid of area attacks like Thunder Shock, especially in the Shadow Attack state. If he was caught in it, he would probably lose half his life.

"Haha~ Human, you will pay the price for your arrogance!" The shadow demon laughed strangely.

In the eyes of the shadow demon, the two black-armored skeleton generals beside Mu Hua had retreated far away, as if they didn't want it to use its shadows to move.

Mu Hua stood alone on the spot, holding a staff. A lance floating in the air beside him kept adjusting the tip, as if he was trying to predict its trajectory and aim at it and shoot it.

But besides it, there are dozens of crazy goblins who seized the opportunity to pounce on Mu Hua. Although the goblins' movements were rough, their speed was as fast as that of a nimble monkey.

The shadow demon sneered in his heart. The lance's tip kept changing position, as if showing Mu Hua's indecision under siege from multiple sides.

"Fire~! Ga g g g g~~" The shadow demon did not continue to shuttle through the shadows. Like a shadow shark leaping out from the earth, a burst of flames shot out from its hand and instantly enveloped Mu Hua's body.

It was very low-level imprinting magic. Demons generally would not give up their own advantages to learn random magic, and shadow demons did not have any talent for spellcasting. With the racial advantage of demons, they could only cast some low-intensity flames.

This kind of flame may be a little dangerous to ordinary people, but it does not have the ignition effect of fireball. If it burns the adventurer, it can be extinguished by hitting it.

Whether it is elemental resistance or blood burst, this flame can be easily blown away.

But this shadow demon did not intend to burn Mu Hua with flames. Its real purpose was to burn off any undead bone shield that might exist on the necromancer.

The bone shield is not omnipotent. This magic is particularly afraid of continuous damage. When the flames reached his body, the bone shield on Mu Hua's body quickly shattered layer by layer. Facing this kind of elemental attack, the bone shield could hardly provide any defense.

Mu Hua’s summoned beast is very powerful. He can also cast Bone Soul, and the power of the Mage’s Hand is not weak either, but he is too young.

At least in the Shadow Demon's opinion, with Mu Hua's spellcasting ability, he should not have a very strong physique.

And even if he used the staff to cast the Bone Soul, the Shadow Demon was certain that Mu Hua had no magic power left.

Looking at Mu Hua who seemed at a loss, the Shadow Demon laughed wildly in his heart.

"Be afraid, I like to kill young humans. Haha~" the shadow demon screamed.

But, the next moment, the shadow demon who was staring at Mu Hua seemed to have discovered something wrong, and fine magic patterns seemed to appear on the face of the human necromancer.

"Bastard, I hope you can give me a shadow skill. I like your shadow." Mu Hua raised his staff slightly, with a grim smile on his face, and smashed the staff to the ground.

"Death Ripple!"

The death energy spread, quiet, and gentle. The death energy that corroded the soul instantly made all creatures within ten meters around Mu Hua stop as if the pause button was pressed.

Gray waves, like microwaves, swept across the bodies of the goblins and the shadow demons. The shadow demons' strange laughter stopped, and the dark green eyeballs of the goblins turned pale.

Plop~plop~…

The goblins that besieged Mu Hua fell to the ground one by one, and some turned into dust, while others no longer had any life.

Where the shadow of the shadow demon was originally, a thin demon was lying on the ground.

"Puff~!" Leaving behind a dagger and a magic stone, a few demon gold coins fell in the scattered dust of the shadow demon.

At this moment, Mu Hua's clothes disappeared, and purple light patterns appeared on his naked upper body, as if outlining a mysterious pattern.

"Kill!" Tabitha's order came out.

The surprise in Gravizi's heart disappeared immediately. Their good combat skills made them grasp their weapons tightly at the first moment and kill the goblins scattered everywhere.
