When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 393: Chapter 300: Catch All the Foxes That Come_2 Chapter 393: Chapter 300: Catch All the Foxes That Come_2 And at that time, Hayna had already moved the Priest down.

As expected, he had fallen into a coma.

With age, the body becomes fragile.

But fortunately, his life was not at risk…

Aiwass checked and concluded that even without treatment, the Priest would wake up on his own after a while.

“Anyway, let’s just put him in the light, otherwise the aura of The Wild Hunt might freeze him to illness,”

Aiwass said, and had the Priest lie down by the table.

Hayna felt uncomfortable seeing the Priest lying on the ground, after all, he was someone she had watched grow up since she was a child…

So, she went upstairs to carry down several chairs.

Hayna, being in good health, was largely unaffected by the cold of The Wild Hunt.

Even when she was directly attacked earlier, she had not felt anything unusual…

not to mention now, when they were safely hidden inside the house.

Thankfully, Sherlock came in time to fix the house.

Otherwise, if Aiwass had been frozen by The Wild Hunt again, it would have been over if the Penalty Demon attacked at that moment.

If he moved, he would be beaten by The Wild Hunt, and if he stood still, he would be beaten by the Penalty Demon.

The self-destruction of the Defiant Flame Butterfly did not kill the Penalty Demon; instead, it completely blew up those Demon Scholars—The experience gained had already informed Aiwass of this.

—A total of thirty-two at the third power level filled up Aiwass’s experience bar.

Now, Aiwass’s experience had officially broken five thousand points.

He was now very confident about studying abroad in the Holy Nation.

No matter how difficult the mystical skills, as long as one had enough experience points, they could be mastered instantly…

“Are those enemies all taken care of?”

Sherlock asked cautiously, “I saw a big crater…

that was you, wasn’t it?

Shall I go out and check again?”

“Don’t you,”

Aiwass interrupted and scolded Hayna, who was also eager to try: “And you, don’t either.

“The survivor outside is a fifth power level Demon Incarnation—he has been coerced into revealing his true demon form.

It’s a Penalty Demon…

never mind, you wouldn’t understand.

In short, it’s very dangerous right now, so let’s leave it to the Wild Hunt King.”

“…Fifth power level?”

Sherlock’s heart tightened instantly: “The one that attacked the Supervisory Bureau before?”

“Right.

The one who stood beside the Giant Prince, the slightly shorter giant,”

Aiwass nodded seriously: “He should be the Noble Red’s strongest Demon Scholar…

It was only with all my methods that I barely survived.”

“Did you use the Red-Handled Sword?”

Sherlock’s mind immediately went to that.

“I did not.”

Aiwass patted the key hanging on his waist and said solemnly, “I plan to wait for a critical moment to use it.”

It was his strongest trump card, and it could only be used once.

The Little Butterfly’s self-destruction could be used once a day—and now it seemed best not to be reckless.

Or at least, not to rashly stack Dawnfire.

The power was quite strong; even at the fourth energy level, it left the Penalty Demon without a response.

If it reached the fifth level, it might have been blown to death directly.

The only problem was that Aiwass might also have been blown up.

Because the blast radius of this thing was a bit too vast…

even broader than Aiwass’s regular casting radius.

Fortunately, Aiwass had taken this possibility into account and had evaded in advance; otherwise, he might have been killed by friendly fire.

“But you all still need to be careful…”

As he spoke, Aiwass briefed the other three on the Penalty Demon’s characteristics and abilities.

Of course, he said this mainly to give them a scare—especially to frighten Hayna a bit to prevent her from impulsively rushing out.

After all, this was her old home.

It was only normal to be nervous about such a monster entering the village.

As a proper Upper-Level Demon and also a Superior Phantom, the Penalty Demon indeed ranked a bit higher than the Shadow Demon.

It was one of the creatures closest to the Fallen Celestial Marshal, created specifically to punish other demons—an army police of demons, if you will.

A fully grown Penalty Demon, typically of level sixty-nine, belonged to the pinnacle of the seventh power level as a Gold-Name Elite Monster—In Aiwass’s recollection, there were no BOSS-templated Penalty Demons.

But this one was merely a newly born Penalty Demon.

His level was not high enough, nor was he familiar with his own innate abilities.

The current world level cap is fifty.

And that Penalty Demon is definitely not level fifty—its demonization doesn’t increase its level, so if it was at the fifth power level originally, it remains at the fifth power level even as a Demon.

Because a level fifty Penalty Demon, factoring in the suppression of a Superior Phantom, could easily wipe out the fragile Little Butterfly in two moves.

There’s absolutely no need to restrain her and then unleash its ultimate move on the spot.

Even if Aiwass took a step back and assumed that the Penalty Demon indeed was at max level fifty and was in perfect condition…

it could at most, fight evenly with Helquinn at a six-to-four ratio.

Honestly, Helquinn would be at least a six.

After all, Helquinn is considered a Heroic Spirit, and he was a bona fide Giant-fighting hero before becoming the Wild Hunt King.

He doesn’t bear any Mark of Sin, so he’s immune to the Penalty Demon’s special attacks—without its bonus against “sin”, the Penalty Demon is just an ordinary Upper-Level Demon.

As the Wild Hunt King, Helquinn has the unique aura of The Wild Hunt King.

—Not to mention, Helquinn would never engage in a one-on-one duel.

As a leader-level monster, if he were to fight, it would certainly be a group battle against the Penalty Demon.

“So rest assured,” Aiwass boasted confidently, “even if the Penalty Demon isn’t dead, it’ll be severely weakened after a direct encounter with The Wild Hunt.

Helquinn and his minions will easily drive it far away, and it won’t be easy for it to find its way back.”@@novelbin@@

On the contrary, it’s a good thing it turned into a Demon.

If it were still a Giant, it would probably be chased to the ends of the earth by Helquinn and his minions with bloodshot eyes.

Originally, Aiwass wanted to resolve the enemy quickly.

But seeing the newly born Penalty Demon as somewhat weak, he began to entertain some crooked thoughts.

—That’s a Penalty Demon!

Extremely rare!

Although as a Great Sin Beast it’s a bit weak…

being dependent on special attacks, taking up a slot only to target demons is just too wasteful.

However, since it is a rare Demon, Aiwass didn’t want to miss out.

Even if he doesn’t capture it as a Great Sin Beast, its strength has reached the minimum requirement.

It can be used for card making.

Just like how Aiwass extracted the power from the Shadow Demon to create [Spell Card: Shadow Cloak]—while it would not willingly surrender its power for Aiwass to extract, Aiwass could also forcibly extract its power during the kill, using a ritual to turn it into a Spell Card or Equipment Card.

Five points of wind attribute mana plus five points of Dark Attribute Mana could refine it into [Equipment Card: Thunder Javelin].

Ten points of wind attribute mana plus five points of Dark Attribute Mana could refine it into [Spell Card: Cruel Restraint].

And with fifteen points of wind attribute mana, it could be refined into [Field Card: Thunderstorm].

If looking at the long-term, the best choice would actually be that [Thunder Javelin].

Because the Red-Handled Sword probably contains a Knight-type Light Attribute Superior Phantom, and Helquinn is also an Upper-Level Phantom in a Knight form.

Whichever one Aiwass captures between them, he can summon the [Thunder Javelin] to strengthen them.

A Sacred Weapon with bonus damage against Demons that can also invoke Thunder—that’s just so cool.

And if immediate battle power is needed, Aiwass could refine it into [Cruel Restraint].

That’s the spell it used to control the Little Butterfly, where spiked chains entangle the target from a distance and electrify them.

Though it’s a control ability, it can be used as a single-target, high-damage skill.

The Field Card isn’t that useful, but it’s pretty cool.

Mainly, it can be used to cosplay as Zhang Jiao, shouting “Thunder, aid me!”

Now Aiwass hoped that the Penalty Demon wouldn’t be directly slaughtered by Helquinn—being seriously wounded would suffice.

He needed to quickly find a way to gather wind attribute mana.

He has brought the materials for card making, so as long as he gets to the Mana Pool, he can start the process immediately.

If Aiwass doesn’t get a wind attribute Mana Pool in his next advancement, he’ll have to forcibly take on the Mage class.

Even with the experience penalty, he wouldn’t want to miss out on the Penalty Demon.

—Ordinary people won’t get equipment drops from killing a Demon, but it’s different for a Great Sin Scholar.

Once Aiwass prepares the sealing card, he could at least strip a few layers off its skin.

It’s not impossible to suck it dry into a Phantom Demon Egg directly.

By then, Little Butterfly would be revived, along with Aiwass and Lily who have completed their advancement—

Oh right, Aiwass remembered.

Hayna was also participating in this advancement.

Once she completes it, she’ll reach the fourth power level.

—Combined with Aiwass’s Red-Handled Sword, they should have no problem handling the half-crippled Penalty Demon at that time.

But just in case…

After some thought, Aiwass decided to capture the Earthbound Spirit from the inn first to boost his strength.

She should be in a nearby inn somewhere.

Although she can’t be turned into a Phantom Card, transforming her into a Spell Card shouldn’t be a problem.
