Chapter 472 - Hidden Weapons Specialist
"Congratulations brat, you have successfully made me come out of the demon army," The level 1 demon general appeared in front of Ajax and congratulated him and said, "However, you are just looking for your death."
After finishing his words, he didn't say another word before he threw many hidden needles at Ajax.
'Argh'
Ajax didn't expect that the demon general was a hidden weapons specialist and hurriedly dodged sideways; however, some of the hidden needles pierced into his right hand making him gasp in pain...
'What is happening to my right hand?'
As soon as the pain from his right hand subsided, he was unable to feel his right hand.
"Haha...don't worry. I just sealed your main vitals that help in the functioning of your right hand," The demon general laughed and replied the serious matter in a cool manner making Ajax frown.
"Do you think I am like them?" The demon general pointed his finger at the demon servants that were blindly marching towards the exit of the cursed wilderness and continued, "I know you are faking your exhaustion from the beginning and I waited until you are really exhausted...Hehe."
The demon general eerily smiled as he continued, 'If I wanted to kill you, I could have killed you long back; however, I like torturing the young human genius. So, shall we start the torturing session?'
'Haha...So what, if I am truly exhausted?'
Seeing the demon general, who was slowly walking towards him, Ajax muttered in a voice that was barely audible to the demon general.
'Huh?'
When he heard Ajax's words, the demon general stopped in his tracks and raised his brows before looking at Ajax, who was supporting his right hand with his left hand.
"Stop faking it. You can't use your claw type skill with your right time any time soon," the demon general shook his head and continued walking towards Ajax.
Ajax used his demon claw skill with his right hand from time to time while killing the demon servants and it was very effective in killing them. So, the first thing that the demon general did after showing himself was to seal his right and slowly thought of torturing him.
Edmond, Udo, and Darbaudr were busy fighting with the three elite demon generals and the nine young cultivators were surrounded by many mutated demon servants and demon generals making it impossible to leave their nine-men formation.
"All your friends and guardians are fully occupied and can't come to save you. So, you better prepare yourself for my torture...Hehe," The demon general liked to completely destroy all the hope in his opponent and wanted to mentally breakdown him. He takes pleasure from it.
Although it never failed in his entire life, Ajax was not a normal 15-year-old young man as he had many trumps cards in his sleeves that could save him.
'Dream on…Haha,' Ajax started laughing all of a sudden.
'Cloud steps'
'Swoosh'
Amidst his laughing Ajax disappeared from his place and using his level 2 cloud steps, he moved very fast that the demon general barely reacted to his sudden movements.
'Huh?' The demon general hurriedly turned back as he sensed Ajax was behind him.
'Bloodlust spear turned into Heaven's destroyer,' With the help of the cloud steps, he continuously changed his position making it impossible for the demon general to pinpoint his exact location. Amidst his zig-zag movement, he summoned his bloodlust spear, and without wasting any time, he turned it into heaven's destroyer.
"Found you," Initially, the demon general let down his guard as he thought Ajax didn't have any strength left to move. So, he was unable to find the exact location of Ajax; however, after observing his surroundings he finally found Ajax with a long shining spear in his hand.
"Thinking of killing me using a high-level heaven grade weapon? Haha," The demon general laughed on the surface but secretly became anxious inside his heart as he felt a bad premonition from that white shining spear in Ajax's hands.
'Swoosh'
Ajax finally stopped when the demon general found his location and threw the heaven's destroyer spear at him.
"Huh? Why did he throw it from that fat?" When the demon general saw Ajax throw the spear from a long distance, the anxiousness in his heart disappeared without a trace and casually moved sideways and dodged the spear.
"What a waste of such a high-level heaven grade weapon in the hands of a human," the demon general shook his head and continued, " But don't worry after killing you, I will take good care of your spear...Haha….."
'Puchhi..'
Amidst his loud laughing, something pierced from his back and came out of his chest.
"Maybe in your next life...Haha," Ajax smiled at the spear that was completely covered in black blood that floated towards him.
'How?'
This was the final word that the demon general muttered before the life in his eyes faded away.
'Ding,
Successfully killed a level 1 demon general
No essence of nature is gained.
'Ding,
The second target's progress is increased by a count of 5 demon servants.
As usual two system notifications appeared in front of him informing him about the kill and progress for the second target in the bonus mission.
"What? Only progressed by 5 demon servants?" Ajax felt disappointed as he had expected that the demon general would give him at least 10 count in the progress for the second target.
'I wasted some units of the essence of nature in using the cloud steps...sigh,' Another reason for his disappointment was that he had spent some essence of nature.
'I will stop using the essence of nature until I complete the second target,' He finally decided to not use any essence of nature and wanted to keep the remaining few units of the essence of nature for emergency purposes.
Ding,
The system found a book about hidden weapons on the demon general. Do you want to pick it?
All of a sudden, the system sent another notification that made Ajax's previous disappointment decrease a little bit.
"Huh? A book about hidden weapons. Sounds cool," Ajax nodded his head and excitedly went towards the dead body of the demon general.
Ajax didn't mind the black blood and pungent smell coming from the demon general's dead body and searched for that book.
There was no space ring on the demon general's fingers, so Ajax had to search for that book inside the demon general's clothes.
'Huh? A space ring? Why did he hide it inside his clothes?' After searching for a while, Ajax found a pitch-black coloured space ring inside the demon general's clothes that made him surprised as he wondered why would anyone store a space ring inside his clothes?
'Unless there is something important inside the space ring,' Ajax didn't think much before coming to this conclusion and excitedly moved away from the dead body and checked inside the space ring.
Since the owner of the space ring had died, the seal on it would disappear automatically. So, Ajax hurriedly checked the things inside the space ring.
"What the heck!"
After seeing the insides of the space ring, Ajax was shocked by what he had seen inside it.
