Chapter 193 Fighting Demons (8)



The magic barrier that the demon commander had released was one that used all of the remaining mana that he had.

He didn't hesitate in doing this since he remembered what had happened last time when he took a hit from this strange looking sword.

But the problem was…even magic barriers weren't a problem for The Penetrator.

Whether it was magic or not, The Penetrator didn't have a problem penetrating through it with its 99% penetration stat.

So the magic barrier wasn't able to resist for a single second as The Penetrator smashed right through it.

The demon commander clearly didn't expect this to happen since he hadn't moved at all after putting up the barrier.

From the very beginning, he was filled with confidence that he would be able to take care of Cecilia and the rest of the elves once he had activated his trump card. That was a trump card that would threaten his life if he used it too much, which showed just how powerful it was.

So once he was forced to use it, he didn't believe that he would ever be pushed back like this.

That was why he hadn't dodged out of the way when Cecilia avoided his attack the first time.

That was also why he wasn't able to dodge in time when Cecilia suddenly smashed his magic barrier with The Penetrator.

The demon commander just stalled there, watching the strange looking sword get closer and closer.

Cecilia didn't hold back at all as she used a full swing to hit the demon commander right in the chest.

It was as if something caved in the moment that The Penetrator smashed into the demon commander's chest as he suddenly fell to the ground.

He found it hard to breathe as his chest had caved in from the impact.

The demon commander just laid there twitching on the ground after the hit from Cecilia.

When this happened, there was only silence that filled the air as everyone looked in the direction of the demon commander lying there on the ground with a collapsed chest.

Not a single person could understand what had just happened.

But the facts were there in front of them.

Once the demon commander was defeated, the morale of the demons were completely shattered to pieces and there were a few of them that suddenly ran away. They broke off from the rest of the demons and started running towards the forest.

It was just too bad that they had forgotten that they were completely surrounded.

Before any of these demons could get far, they were filled with arrows that came from all around them.

Even if they were able to dodge one or two arrows, there were many others that followed.

There were just too many elves around them that they couldn't get anywhere.

The demons that were still in the group formation saw this and knew that they wouldn't be able to break free of this place.

Their only choice now was to either fight to the death or…surrender.

So in the end, the demons suddenly dropped their weapons and raised their hands to show that they were surrendering.

The elves all deeply knitted their brows when they saw this, but they didn't put down their bows. All of their bows were still aimed at the demons who had dropped their weapons.

When I saw this, I immediately came forward to stop them.

I went up to Moon and said, "There's no reason to slaughter them all."

Moon had also knitted her brows when she saw the demons surrender, but it wasn't as deeply knitted as the others. Still, it wasn't as if she could just let the demons go after they had invaded the forest of the elves.

So this time, she shook her head and said, "We have to punish them or else the demons will come again."I think you should take a look at

I went forward and stood in front of her to stop her from going any further.

Seeing this, Moon said in a firm voice, "Move out of the way. We will finish them off and then we can discuss other matters."

But I didn't move out of the way.

Instead, I shook my head and said, "It's foolish to kill them all now. It's better to capture them and get any information you can out of them first."

Moon was about to say something, but then she knitted her brows again.

That was because she had realized that I was right.

Seeing this look on her face, the two blonde elves suddenly said, "Young miss, don't be fooled by his words. Those are just human tricks!"

I looked at them and shook my head while giving a sigh, like I was looking at idiots.

When the two blonde elves saw this, they couldn't help revealing slightly ugly expressions.

They looked like they were about to shout something at me to complain, but I cut them off by saying, "If you kill them, you can feel better about yourself, but…have you thought about how to find the array that they used to drain the magic power from the forest?"

The mouth of the two blonde elves froze when they heard this.

They just stood there with shocked looks on their faces for a few seconds before their mouths opened and closed a few times. But in the end, they weren't able to say a thing since they knew that I was right.

It was better to keep these demons alive and take care of everything first.

Once they got all of the information out of them, they could take care of the demons however they wanted.

But it just didn't feel right to them to capture the demons instead of killing them.

These demons were the ones that had invaded their homes and had almost destroyed the forest, they were mortal enemies that deserved to be killed!

In the end though, Moon raised her hand and said, "Go and tie them up. Don't let a single one of them escape."

The two blonde elves nodded before giving sighs.

But then, one of them asked in a meaningful voice, "What if they try to run away?"

Moon looked at me this time.

I just calmly said, "If they resist, then there's nothing that you can do."

I knew what the hidden meaning behind these words were, but I knew that this was a compromise that I had to make with the elves.

After all, their rage would be hard for them to swallow, so to force them to keep it in was just going too far.

If there were a few demons that were sacrificed…no, if there were a few demons that chose to run away, then we really didn't have a choice.

It wasn't as if we could let these dangerous demons just run around freely in the forest. There was no telling what kind of things they would get up to if that were to happen.

We only needed a few demons for information, so it didn't matter if a few of them were taken care of.

Hearing this, the look that the two blonde elves gave me became a bit more positive.

They weren't happy about this, but they were willing to settle.

So they went off to help capture the demons with the other elves.
