That's 60% of the magic!
Lycorina was chugging magic potions nearby, while Anyi appeared on the frozen giant snake's head, carrying an ivory-white greatsword.
Item: Whale-Slaying Sword Lv99
Item Description: Gain the passive skill [Beast Slayer].
Skill: [Beast Slayer]
Skill Description: Deals additional damage to creatures larger than five meters in size.
"Oh!"
The sound of a greatsword shattering ice rang out, and the steel serpent's hard skull was easily pierced by the greatsword.
While it can't be described as being as thin as tofu, with An'i's [Strength] combined with [Beast Slayer], Steelix's toughness is nothing to brace for.
The Whale-Slaying Sword was obtained from the leader of a giant killer whale.
If An Yi had this sword when dealing with the Stone Rhinoceros, he probably wouldn't even need to use "Space Slash" to kill it.
"Ba is dead?!"
A shocked voice came from the withered tree spirit.
The Death Vine rapidly contracted around the four members of the Saintess Squad, and the withered tree spirit, now back in human form, quickly arrived beside the giant steel snake.
San is dead?! Dead?!
"How could you destroy its magic core?!" the withered tree spirit roared.
A magic core is one of the most precious materials found on various demons, and a demon whose magic core is destroyed will die immediately.
Furthermore, after a demon dies, the magic power within the demon core will rapidly dissipate.
While it can't be said to be completely useless, magic cores containing magic power are definitely the most valuable!
Generally, when hunting demons, the goal is to render them incapable of resistance, extract their demon cores while they are still alive, seal them with special magic, and then bring them back to Amethyst Town for further special processing.
Can……
An Yi's sword strike destroyed the magic core instantly.
This is the most valuable thing!
The withered tree spirit felt the magic dissipate in an instant and was immediately paralyzed.
"You didn't say you wanted it, did you?" Lycorina shrugged beside her and continued drinking her magic potion.
"I didn't say I didn't want it!" the withered tree spirit roared.
What kind of demons are these?!
How can you not understand any rules at all!
While the other demons were carefully worrying about damaging parts, these four "demons" just went and destroyed the most valuable parts right away!
The other demons had also gathered around, looking at the giant snake frozen into an ice sculpture, feeling somewhat surreal.
In fact, in terms of magic power, Lycorina is only a level 10 demon.
Although she possesses the [Formless] ability, the demons cannot sense her magical power.
But the level 10 players could sense from the magic she used that they could also achieve that level of "freezing".
It's just... difficult.
Because the opponent is a moving target, it's difficult enough to just get hit by magic, let alone the fact that the opponent can break the freeze by twisting quickly.
To freeze the entire Steelix like that... that's truly impressive.
"Fine! Take what you want and go." The withered tree spirit waved its hand angrily, but did nothing to the four of them.
But the four of them were secretly delighted.
This giant steel serpent is indeed the leader of the demon race!
I immediately got new equipment after killing them!
The other demons began taking the materials they wanted, and the remaining small group of demons did not choose to fight on the spot.
An Yi symbolically cut off a piece of the serrated edge, then gestured for the three to leave.
Suddenly, a magical telepathic message reached the ears of the four.
"You all stay here for now," came the voice of the withered tree spirit.
"Why?" Layton was the first to stand in front of the withered tree spirit.
He didn't use magic to transmit his voice; he simply asked directly.
The withered tree spirit continued its magical telepathic communication: "I'd like to discuss something with you."
Interested in joining our 'Hunters'?
Chapter 243 Since we're already here, let's kill them while we're at it (4k)
After the demons dispersed, only the four members of the Saintess's team and the withered tree spirit who had been waiting remained at the scene.
"What's the reason?" An Yi asked expressionlessly.
This reason, of course, is why the four were invited to join the "Hunter".
He could roughly guess what the other party was thinking; most likely, they wanted to win over the four of them after seeing their abilities and methods.
"The reason is simple: it's because everyone here is quite capable."
No matter what level or type of demon you want to kill, joining the 'Hunter' will give you the most materials.
"We 'hunters' won't force you to do anything. You can even take prey of this size for yourselves." The withered tree spirit pointed to the corpse of the giant steel snake beside it.
"You don't want anything? That's great?" Layton was completely bewildered.
So you demons don't want anything, you just invite us in and give us free stuff?
Milu could ponder this silently to herself.
Actually... they do want more than nothing.
It's not hard to imagine that a demon of that size couldn't possibly utilize every inch of its body material.
Sometimes, hunting down these demons might only require a piece of skin, a piece of flesh, or a piece of bone.
What about the rest?
Naturally, they were given to familiar demons or sold in the market.
From the perspective of the withered tree spirit, the four of them must need some materials to participate in the hunt, or they simply want money.
Regardless of their purpose, it was impossible for the four members of the Saintess Squad to "digest" all the materials.
Then what about the rest? Wouldn't they all be left to the "hunters" to deal with?
The other party's motives are impure, yet also very pure.
It was purely for profit, so they invited the four members of the Saintess Squad.
The withered tree spirit laughed and said, "That's right, that's right. You don't need anything. Joining the 'Hunter' will also get you a forest map centered on Amethyst Town."
It contains information about the habitats of different demons and the specific locations of the demon overlords in different regions.
"So, want to join the 'Hunters'?"
The other party was like the "Centipede Elder," also very enthusiastically offering them all sorts of benefits.
This highlights the difference between high-intelligence and low-intelligence demons; high-intelligence demons are better able to see into the future.
But is what it gave to the four members of the Saintess Squad really that precious?
No, to the "hunter," this intelligence is nothing.
They are able to master it because they are powerful, not because they expend a lot of effort.
What if it gets driven out?
Without following the "hunter," even low-level, high-magic-power demons wouldn't dare to mess with the demons in this rainforest.
Both being level 10 demons, killing just one [Giant Steel Serpent] would wipe out a large number of them; without the "Hunter," they would have been completely wiped out long ago.
Using this insignificant information to exchange for demonic materials of unknown quantity and quality is a highly profitable venture!
“Okay, we agree.” Lycorina nodded in reply.
"Haha—that's great!" the withered tree spirit replied excitedly in a broken voice. "Then let's not delay any longer and go see the other 'hunters' first."
From today onwards, you are members of the 'Hunters'!
The withered tree spirit raised its hand, and four very faint streams of magic clung to the four people.
"This magic is harmless to you; it only serves to prove your identity as 'hunters' to other demons."
All the demons in the city have to give us face; we can enjoy a certain discount when buying materials, so there's no need to erase it.
If we erase it... it's equivalent to everyone having to leave [The Hunter] voluntarily.
Such weak magic power can't really do anything; at most, it can be used as a means of positioning within the opponent's home turf. Any demon with high magic power can understand this common sense.
If they leave the area covered by the opponent's magic, these few strands of magic are useless, and it is impossible for them to endanger their lives.
At this moment, all four of them noticed that a red prefix had appeared before their names.
The format is:
[The Hunter] Any Karl
Lycorina activated "Ask if you don't understand" and directly asked the system what this thing was.
"My Lord God, what are these two extra red characters before your name?"
Searching...
Search complete.
Greetings, Brave One. Once you join an organization or faction, you will be displayed as a member of that organization.
Red indicates that one has joined an organization that is hostile to them.
"Huh? Why isn't the Hero Alliance showing up?"
