Chapter 12 Enjoy the Killing
rustling...
A squad of well-equipped military mages trod on a mixture of decaying plants and withered bones.
They were a unit responsible for eliminating potential threats. All members were intermediate-level mages, and the captain and two vice-captains were intermediate-level mages in two or even three different magic systems.
"I heard that the higher-ups have issued a clearing mission to help us speed up our progress," said a woman with exquisite features dressed in a black combat suit.
"Yes, I heard it was taken on by a very famous hunting agency. I wonder if it was worth it?"
"I don't know."
"Hopefully, this will help us speed up the clearing process."
The crowd responded.
"Don't worry, everyone. The higher-ups said that if you're not satisfied, you can negotiate with that person," the team leader said.
"Hey everyone, have you noticed? We've walked all the way from the outer perimeter all the way here without encountering any demons?"
The wind mage in charge of scouting ahead addressed the group.
"Let me see." With that, a mid-level mage who had awakened to the sound element closed his eyes and began to listen.
Soon, he was filled with terrifying and horrified screams, and just hearing the sound made him tremble all over.
"There's a great terror in this direction; those demons have either been killed or scared away!"
The group exchanged glances, wanting to hear each other's opinions.
"Let's go take a look; after all, this is the area we're going to clear."
In the end, it was the strongest captain who made the decision.
They hadn't walked far along the road when they began to smell a strong stench of blood in the air.
The intensity of the bloody smell suggests that the battle ahead may be far more brutal than they imagined.
The group exchanged glances, their expressions grave, and everyone went on high alert.
"hiss--!!"
"ah--!"
Everyone gasped in shock.
Everywhere you looked, there was a scene of bloodshed and devastation.
They had seen demon corpses before, but the scene before them was far too gruesome!
Along the way, the trees and grass were covered with demonic hair, bits of flesh, and broken organs...
The land was ravaged, stained and soaked with blood, turning it a dark red.
It was like being in hell on earth!
As the group walked along the way, they kept seeing the severed limbs and remains of demons.
Some people's entire bodies were somehow smashed to pieces by something.
Some of the remains of ferocious beasts had their entire heads missing...
"What terrifying skills!"
The team's strongest captain was shocked by the horrific scene before him.
From his perspective, it was clear that humans had killed these demons; traces of them could be found on the ground, in the trees, in the grass, and on the demons' corpses.
For example, the headless demon corpse.
Its head was clearly smashed by a single punch, like a watermelon!
"Is this really something a magician could do?"
The two vice-captains muttered to themselves.
They had completely overwhelmed the demons with their skills alone, a situation they wouldn't have dared to even imagine before today.
"Demons are charging in! Prepare for battle!"
The sound mage in charge of perception immediately shouted.
Step...step...step...step...step...!
The aura of demons is approaching! Like the footsteps of death echoing all around.
Everyone's magic began to surge.
A fierce gust of wind swirled around the captain, and a small tornado coalesced in front of her.
The others also unleashed their magic, as if facing a formidable enemy.
roar----!!!!
A powerful and violent roar came, like rolling thunder, shaking the soul.
To the onlookers, the voice sounded somewhat disheveled for some reason.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a ferocious beast, five or six meters long, leaped out from the other end of the trees and bushes at an extremely fast speed.
"A commander-level Heavenly Horned Blood Rhinoceros? Isn't it deep in the forest? How come it's here!" the captain said incredulously.
The two vice-captains and the team members were filled with deep fear at this moment.
Commander-level demon!
will die.
They will definitely die.
This sorrowful thought arose in everyone's mind without prior agreement.
However, the commander-level Heavenly Horned Blood Rhinoceros merely glanced at the group before sweeping past them like a whirlwind and heading elsewhere.
It was as if they were hiding from something.
Just as everyone's hearts were settling down, they were raised again.
An invisible pressure suddenly descended.
The commander-level Heavenly Horned Blood Rhinoceros was frozen in mid-air for a moment, as if its massive body was being controlled by some force.
A hooded figure appeared beside it.
next moment.
boom----!!!
The Heavenly Horned Blood Rhinoceros crashed to the ground from mid-air, letting out a painful howl.
The hooded figure, wielding a three-section staff, fell from the sky, his face obscured from view.
The hooded figure gripped the three-section staff and slammed it down towards the Heavenly Horned Blood Rhinoceros.
One, two, three...
As the hooded figure moved, the ground continuously shattered and cracked like a spider web.
The enormous body of the Heavenly Horned Blood Rhinoceros was suppressed and pinned to the ground by that small figure, unable to move.
Its limbs struggled to its feet, causing dirt to fly and dust to billow around it.
But it didn't work.
The hooded figure continued to swing his fists.
The howls of the Heavenly Horned Blood Rhinoceros subsided, and its breath gradually weakened.
Soon, blood stained the earth, flowing and soaking into the soil, turning it a dark red color.
This commander-level demon was beaten to death by the hooded figure, blow after blow.
The hooded figure, bathed in the blood of demons, looked like a god of death emerging from hell.
Blood flowed down his clothes.
tick tock...tick tock...
Everyone stood there dumbfounded, a sense of awe washing over them.
The powerful, domineering demon was beaten to death right before their eyes.
They were powerless to resist, just like slaughtering poultry.
Who exactly is this person?
"Ahhh, finally I've had my fill!"
The hooded figure muttered to himself, put away his nunchucks, stretched, and finally looked at the people standing there dumbfounded.
"Hey, my name is Gojo Satoru. I'm the hunter who took on this clearing mission. Nice to meet you."
After shaking off the bloodstains dripping onto his clothes, Gojo Satoru greeted the others with a smile.
"My name is Chen Yang. Thank you, senior." The team leader replied politely.
"You provide the money, I'll do the work." Gojo Satoru didn't accept their thanks, but simply said in a businesslike manner, "All the demons of warrior level or above in the forest have been cleared out. You can take a look."
"No need, we trust our seniors." Chen Yang said without the slightest hesitation, his words righteous and firm.
If a commander-level mage could be taken down so easily, this person's strength is definitely extraordinary, and there's no need for them, a few mid-level mages, to be deceived.
"Alright, I'm leaving then."
After saying that, Gojo Satoru transformed into a streak of silver light and disappeared from the spot.
That was awesome! This trip was so much fun!
