Chapter 10

A loud sound rang out from the sky like thunder.

“B-Boss, is this the real demon?”

One of the lackeys trembled in fear.

Bai Ge’s throat moved. He licked his dry lips and pretended to be calm.

“What’s there to be afraid of? Even if he’s a demon, he’s only Level 1. I’m a Three-winged Angel!”

“Yes… Yes! Don’t be afraid, brothers. This is just the boss for the rookies!”

“Follow me!”

“Kill the demon and get the equipment!”

“If we’re brothers, let’s kill a dragon together!”

“The light of angels shall shine upon the earth!”

BANG!

Boundless darkness assaulted them. Qin Xiao stomped down, and their voices instantly disappeared.

“That’s it?”

“It only takes one kick to kill you. Did you have to be so passionate?”

“What’s wrong with you?”

Then, Qin Xiao cursed and walked back. He planned to go back to sleep.

When he reached the valley, Qin Xiao came back to his senses. He had just killed four angels.

“I can’t play mahjong all night anymore. It’s too troublesome!”

“But why do I always lose?”

Qin Xiao opened the system interface.

As expected, the system had already given him a kill notification when he landed. However, he was in a daze and did not pay attention.

Game Notification: You have killed the Two-Winged Angel and obtained the Two-Winged Angel’s Soul x1

Game Notification: You have killed the Two-Winged Angel and obtained the Two-Winged Angel’s Soul x1

…

Game Notification: You have killed the Three-Winged Angel and obtained the Three-Winged Angel’s Soul x1. Skill Stone: Damage Absorption.

Angel’s Soul—a special item dropped after killing an angel. It can be exchanged for points from the Demon Crystal to unlock/level up the talent.

“Not bad. I was worried about where to get points. I didn’t expect it to come knocking on my door.”

“There’s actually a Three-winged Angel inside. Are all angels so weak?”

Qin Xiao saw the skill stone again.

Skill Stone: Damage Absorption—E-level skill. It can absorb a certain percentage of damage from the enemy and bounce it back. The absorption rate is determined by the skill level and constitution.

“This skill is not bad. It’s equivalent to the thornmail.”

Qin Xiao returned to the crystal and threw the four angel souls to it.

Like a clay ox sinking in the sea, the four angel souls were immediately devoured.

A notification appeared in front of Qin Xiao.

Game Notification: Consumed Two-Winged Angel’s Soul x1. Obtained 30 points

Game Notification: Consumed Two-Winged Angel’s Soul x1. Obtained 30 points

…

Game Notification: Consumed Three-Winged Angel’s Soul x1. Obtained 100 Points

At the same time, the entire Demon Crystal released a dense demonic aura that increased Qin Xiao’s strength with every breath he took.

When the demonic energy was completely absorbed, it would be time for Qin Xiao to level up!

The four angels gave Qin Xiao a total of 190 points.

Qin Xiao still had four talents that he had yet to unlock, and he now had enough points.

But before that, Qin Xiao planned to learn the damage absorption skill.

The effect of this skill was very compatible with Qin Xiao. His talents included Magic Immunity, which could resist magic attacks, and he would also learn damage absorption to deal with physical attacks.

Qin Xiao’s defense would reach an insane level.

Skill “Damage Absorption” learned!

“Unlock Talent!”

Talent “Dragon’s Breath” unlocked successfully!

Talent “Dragon’s Pressure” successfully unlocked!

Talent “Lightning Summoning” unlocked successfully!

Talent “Magic Immunity” unlocked successfully!

Aside from Magic Immunity, which was a passive skill, the remaining three active skills required 100 Magic Power Points to cast.

However, their power was extraordinary!

Of course, Magic Immunity was not invincible. At this stage, he could only be immune to damage from skills below E-rank.

These four angels had greatly improved Qin Xiao’s strength.

However, he did not have the time to care about this.

Because he suddenly remembered that there was another person who had attacked the snow valley just now!

If the roots were not removed, the weeds would grow again!

This was what Qin Xiao had learned from his many years of experience.

He could not let go of any potential enemy!

Because one day, they might become terrifying existences.

He had to nip all dangers in the bud!

Thinking of this, Qin Xiao immediately gathered his army.

20 Mutant Ghosts led 500 ghouls on the ground at full speed. 60 Phantom Hunters and Qin Xiao, who had transformed into a dragon, flew into the sky.

Hundreds of Phantom Laborers were conducting a carpet search!

True Vision activated!

Qin Xiao commanded his followers to avoid those dangerous areas.

A moment later, a Phantom laborer sent back a message.

In an ordinary forest a few kilometers away from the snow valley, they discovered an orc village!

Qin Xiao immediately gave the order.

The army pressed down on the border!

Qin Xiao ordered his men to surround the village when they were 500 meters away.

These actions attracted the attention of the orcs!

“Elder! Elder! Something bad has happened!”

“What’s the matter? Speak slowly. You’re always so rash.”

An orc guard came to the elder’s room. At this moment, the elder was chanting an obscure prayer in front of a strange totem.

“Elder, hundreds of phantom demons and ghouls have surrounded our village!”

“What!”

The elder stood up from his chair with a whoosh.

“Could it be a demon?!”

“Did Bai Ge and the others come back?”

“Elder, only Hua Lan returned not long ago!”

“Damn it, gather all the young men in the village and follow me!”

“Also, keep an eye on Hua Lan. Don’t let her escape!”

The elder had lived for countless years and was very experienced. He arranged everything almost instantly.

Although no one in Oak Village knew the true identities of Bai Ge and the others, the elder was very clear.

The reason why Oak Village had continued to reproduce for thousands of years was all thanks to the protection of the ancestral Holy Spirit.

When they were born, the elder received a revelation.

Therefore, the whereabouts of these five people had always been under the eyes of the elder.

However, when he arrived at the village entrance, he was immediately dumbfounded.

The guards in the village were like cattle waiting to be slaughtered under the hands of the phantom demons and Mutated Ghosts. They had no ability to resist at all.

Even though they had tried their best to fight back, they had only killed a dozen ghouls.

To an army of nearly a thousand, this was just a drop in the bucket.

“Damn it!”

Although the elder was old, he had extraordinary abilities and was not at a disadvantage when facing two or three Phantom Hunters.

“Snow Vine Curse!”

The elder waved the staff in his hand. Several thick snow vines crawled out from the snow-covered ground and wrapped around the two Phantom Hunters floating in the air tightly.

“Frost Blessing!”

The snowflakes made of magic power attached themselves to the bodies of the orcs, and their injuries were slowly recovering.

But what was the saying?

The bravery of an ordinary man could not change the general situation!

Moreover, there was a powerful demon behind the army that had yet to appear.

In front of the torrent, the orcs were defeated one after another!

“Stop! We surrender!”

The elder looked at his clansmen who were dying one after another. After repelling a Phantom Hunter, he shouted.

“Elder, you can’t surrender!”

“Fight to the end!”

“…”

“Shut up!”

The elder roared, and everyone obediently shut their mouths.

The elder sighed sadly and knelt down as he looked at the army that was rolling over.

“Respected Demon King, on behalf of the Oak Clan, I surrender to you! Please show mercy and let my clansmen go.”

“Elder!”

“Hehe, interesting. Everyone, stop.”

A voice came from behind the ghoul army.
