Free Web NovelChapter 142: Chapter 62: The First Demon Eradication_2
So, he recounted everything he had done and seen in great detail.
At first, the captain suspected that the cause of the Demonic Fire was the portrait.
Because it seemed like the young man had been enchanted by the demon painting.
But after hearing the rest, he changed his mind.
"You’re saying you started the fire by rubbing wood against the wall... I mean, the painting, and that’s how the wooden house caught fire?"
The captain inconspicuously stepped back a few steps and signaled the other team members to do the same.
How did it feel like the wet guy in front of them was more like a demon object?
"Where’s the demon object?"
At that moment, everyone heard a clanging sound.
Exterminator Thirteen had arrived.
"All team members, move away to avoid disturbing the master!"
The captain took the opportunity to send the others away and quickly approached Exterminator Thirteen.
And he recounted everything that had happened once again.
"Hmm?" freewebnøvel.coɱ
After listening, Exterminator Thirteen also felt that something was off.
"No, he’s not a demon."
With a change of heart, he shook his head and said, "There is indeed demon qi in the fire scene."
"You all back off, let me go in and deal with that thing."
With that, he took out a dagger.
He blew a breath towards the dagger.
"Whoosh!"
The dagger flashed, and it really turned into a longsword.
"But master, with such a large fire, you..."
The captain couldn’t help but worry.
"No worries, my sword can cut down any demon object."
As he said that, he waved it through the air and the fire really seemed to part like it had been blown away.
Perhaps sensing the threat, the fire suddenly started to flicker violently.
Soon, a figure formed by flames emerged from the fire above.
[Yiya!]
The flame figure resembled a seductive woman with a beautiful yet fierce and violent appearance.
At this time, the flames in the entire fire scene were being absorbed by it, turning into power, slowly solidifying and shrinking.
"Ah, Amanda?!"
The young man saw the face of the flame figure and couldn’t help but lose color.
"See clearly, this is the true face of your wife."
Exterminator Thirteen said coldly.
"No, this is not my wife!"
"My wife is not three-dimensional!"
The young man seemed to refuse to accept reality, covering his head and running away.
At this moment, Ree Shil, who was slightly behind, finally caught up.
"This is a demon?"
He looked at the 2-meter-tall humanoid figure composed of flames.
"Desire Fire Flora Demon."
"Its initial state is a seed that hatches into a mature body after absorbing enough Yang energy or essence blood." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"The mature body has the ability to move and hunt on its own, which the seed does not possess."
Exterminator Thirteen looked serious.
"Is it hard to deal with?"
Seeing his apprentice’s expression, Ree Shil reached for the iron stick at his waist.
"No, the main thing is that the seed state of this demon object has no autonomous ability to move, it generally only appears in the wild, not in places where people live together..."
"Forget it, let’s deal with this guy first."
"Didn’t I tell you not to come? You go back to a safe place first, so you don’t get caught up."
With that, Exterminator Thirteen charged forward with his sword.
[Yiya!]
"Evil demon, die!"
For a moment, a fierce fight ensued between the human and the demon.
Ree Shil found that Exterminator Thirteen might not be a skilled card player, but he was completely different when it came to eradicating demons.
Wielding his Treasure Sword, he pressed the Demonic Fire in combat.
In less than 2 minutes, the demon fire was heavily wounded, with multiple parts of its fiery body unable to heal.
Another 2 minutes passed, and the demon fire was cut into several large pieces.
The fire body fell to the ground, struggling and flickering as if trying to reignite itself.
"Extinguish the fire, hurry up!"
Exterminator Thirteen turned and shouted.
"Oh oh!" xN
The firefighters, who had been watching from a distance, seemed to wake up from a dream and rushed over with their extinguishers.
This time, they found that the fire could be put out and would not repeatedly reignite.
So, when the last ember was extinguished, a voice rang in Ree Shil’s ear.
[Dingdong!]
[Stage 3 completed]
[Mission stage 4, follow Exterminator Thirteen to investigate the source of the demon object]
[Hint: Exterminator Thirteen suspects that the appearance of this demon object is unusual]
"How many stages does this mission have..."
Upon reflection, he realized that he had reached stage 4 in less than a day.
The previous Stygian City mission had a total of only 3 stages, not counting the hidden mission.
Moreover, he found that there seemed to be no set pattern for this mission stage.
It was as if the tasks were being formulated and released on an ad hoc basis according to the progress of events.
Because if they hadn’t encountered this fire demon, maybe the stage 4 mission would be something else entirely, not an investigation.
...
The next day, in the morning, the marketplace was bustling with people.
This was the largest market in the city, where everything was sold, from agricultural products to daily necessities, enough to meet most of the common people’s needs.
People from the surrounding villages and counties would also come to sell their goods from time to time, so it was a place with a large and mixed flow of people.
What was different today was that several government officials in official attire were mingling among the crowd.
They would stop and interrogate each vendor as they passed by.
For a time, this attracted the attention of many stall owners.
Two Aunties selling vegetables began to gossip.
"Oh dear, Aunt Lee, what do you think is going on? Usually, these officials think our place is too messy and dirty, and they’re too lazy to come!"
