From a certain point of view, it is not entirely a bad thing that the three people fell. At least compared to the other people on the surface who were chased by demons, the underground was relatively safe.

However, it is not 100% safe.

They immediately turned around and looked in the direction of the sound source.

In the dim light, they could vaguely see something approaching them quickly, but since the lighting was only concentrated around them, they couldn't see it more clearly.

Pei Renli shook his staff, and one of the four light balls following him quickly flew forward.

In the smoke-like darkness, a dim red light suddenly lit up, like a quietly smoldering flame.

The next moment, a blazing wind blew in my face, accompanied by undisguised strong malice.

The light ball of Dancing Lights flew to the limit of distance, and a creature less than one meter tall emerged from the darkness.

It looks like a gray-black goat that walks upright, and its torso looks like a strong human being. The skin not covered by fur is an ash-like color with curved scars, and what we just saw is

The dim red color comes from its eyes.

Being illuminated by strong light, it let out a rough roar, gray-black smoke spurted out from its mouth and nose, the long sword in its hand also burst into flames, and the ground where the sheep's hooves stepped left burning footprints.

"It's the fire demon!"

This is a demon born from the soul of an arsonist falling into the abyss. It has a special liking for flames and is very good at using them.

As soon as Pei Renli recognized this kind of demon, the next moment he saw a flame emerging from its palm, and it threw it towards them while running.

The fire demon has the spell-like ability to use fireball once a day, and if you want to hide at this time, it is already too late to escape the fireball's killing range!

At the critical moment, Feng Daal leaped past Pei Renli and jumped up, with the shield engraved with the Holy Emblem of the Soul Forger in front of him.

"Protection from energy damage: Fire!"

--boom!

The fireball technique exploded in the air, and shock waves and flames followed one after another the next moment, spreading like liquid.

Perrenli seemed to hear the sound of something flying over his head, but he had no time to care about it. The only thing he could do was to lie on the ground with Alisee. The scorching temperature made him feel like his hair was on fire.

.

After a while, the aftermath of the fireball technique dissipated, and the flames disappeared as if they had never appeared.

Most of the power of the fireball was absorbed by Vondar's protective energy damage, and the aftermath only left Perrenli and Elise disgraced.

Grabbing the staff, a whirlwind blew away the remaining smoke.

And he didn't even have time to take a look at Fondar's situation. The fire demon with a strong sulfurous stench appeared along with the whirlwind that blew away the smoke, and the flaming sword in his hand was already aimed at his neck.

Hearing a bang, Pei Renli blocked the fatal sword blow with the Swift Light Staff. The force was so strong that he felt as if his wrist was about to dislocate.

However, this successful block bought him time.

His left hand left a rune in the air, and the magic device worn on his finger completed the rune.

"Magic Missile!"

Two stance spheres flew out from his fingertips and hit the fire demon's muscular abdomen. The small demon was knocked back several steps by the attack of the magic missiles.

Pei Renli quickly replenished himself with mage armor. Being able to block the fire demon's long sword with his staff was partly a result of long-term confrontation training, but also a matter of luck. He was unlikely to be able to block it a second time.

The demon rubbed his aching abdomen, roared, and sprayed a large amount of smoke from his mouth and nose. Pei Renli knew that the smoke was poisonous, and he had to retreat and continue to distance himself.

But Elysee, who was lame on one leg, was by her side and she couldn't avoid it.

So Pei Renli took out a scroll, crushed the fire seal, and unfolded it with a flick of his wrist.

"Sharp Fang Spin!"

The rotating stance was like an electric fan that broke up the smoke emitted by the fire demon, but the sharp fangs themselves were not very fast, and the fire demon was also very flexible. Its short goat body dodged past in a flash, letting its stance hit the floor.

, stirring up a large piece of gravel.

The distance between them was face to face. The blade of the flaming sword turned and came from the side, hitting the mage's armor. The explosion of fire powder and the impact made Pei Renli's body tilt.

It was definitely too late to rely on rune magic, so Pei Renli had no choice but to take out another scroll and shake it open:

"Colorful jet!"

Unable to stand up, Elise quickly rolled her body to get out of the spell's range, and a large group of rotating colorful auras spurted out from the head of the Swift Light Staff.

Just like the Burning Hand, the striking surface of the colorful jet is also a fan-shaped range, which is difficult to avoid at close range. The fire demon is instantly engulfed by the colorful light.

The reason why Burning Hands are not used is because the fire demon is immune to fire, and is also immune to lightning and poison, and even has damage resistance.

The colorful jet is a spell from the illusion school and does not have direct lethality, but it is enough to hold back the fire demon.

The rotating halo made it unable to see clearly, and also caused it to feel dizzy. The flames on the long sword retreated back to the hilt.

If he wanted to make up for it, whether it was casting a spell or drawing a scroll, he didn't have time. Pei Renli took a step forward, and the staff in his hand stabbed the fire demon's gray chest like a spear:

"Rapid Light Arrow!"

The spiritual light that lights up one after another along the runes on the staff quickly converges on the head of the staff, and finally spurts out!

The positive energy spell has no obvious killing effect on living creatures. It is specially designed to deal with undead creatures, but it is enough to knock the short fire demon away.

The dizziness caused by the colorful spray dissipated in the next moment. The fire demon dexterously stabilized its body and did not hit the floor heavily. However, it must have been completely angered. The head that looked exactly like a goat emitted a lot of smoke.

.

At this time, the heavy footsteps of the dwarf and a loud voice came from behind:

"Arrow of Order!"

A ball of shining energy arrows shot from behind Pei Renli, hitting the roaring fire demon in the middle.

This was much harder than the lightning arrows and magic missiles. The surging flash fiercely dug out a large piece of skin on the fire demon's chest. The blood dripped on the ground, and large amounts of smoke and a stronger smell of sulfur emitted.

Immediately afterwards, Feng Daal passed through Pei Renli like a gust of wind, and the dwarf battle ax made of cold iron in his hand struck hard.

The pained fire demon reacted quickly. He covered his chest and blew out a large amount of smoke again, trying to use the smoke to obscure his vision, causing the dwarf's ax to hit the air.

"Watch out for its blood!"

Pei Renli reminded loudly from behind, and quickly weaved the next spell with his fingers.

The fire demon's blood is called boiling blood. Creatures that come into contact with the blood will suffer severe burning damage, and the fire demon is very happy to use this ability. Anyone who attacks the fire demon with slashing or stabbing must be careful.

The fire demon's smoke is equivalent to a toxin, which will make people who inhale the smoke feel nauseated. However, this toxin is based on physical fitness. People with better physical fitness are less likely to be infected.

Pei Renli probably couldn't bear it, but Fondar said, 'That's it?'.

As if he completely ignored the smoke, he picked up his ax and rushed into the smoke. The strong wind whipped up by his brute force blew the smoke away.

The fire demon is very afraid of Vondar.

The reason is very simple. The fire demon's damage reduction ability will be broken by the cold iron. In other words, the damage caused by others hitting it will be weakened, and you have to be careful about the splash of boiling blood. But if it is cut by the cold iron, the damage will be full.

The fire demon tried not to confront Fondal head-on and just dodged, but when it moved to the side of Fondal, the position happened to be where Fondal and Perrenli lined up.

A ball of flame lit up in the fire demon's goat's mouth, and the firelight instantly exceeded the surrounding lighting of the dancing light spell.

The ability to breathe fire is also one of the fire demon's spell-like abilities. Although the range is not as good as the fireball spell, its power is not inferior to the fireball spell at all.

However, since Pei Renli can recognize the Fire Demon, it means that he has read the information related to the Fire Demon in the Monster Manual. So, how could he not know that the Fire Demon has the ability to breathe fire?

This was the moment he had been waiting for.

"Suppress the spit!"

The spell that had been prepared for a long time was quickly activated, and an invisible shock wave passed over Fondar and hit the fire demon right in the face.

The flame that was about to burst out quickly extinguished as if it had lost the oxygen to support combustion, leaving only a wisp of smoke.

The effect of this spell is very simple, it is to shut up monsters with the ability to breathe!

Feng Daal took the opportunity to raise the cold iron battle ax and swung it hard from bottom to top.

The battle ax tore open the demon's skin easily, and the scorching blood was alertly blocked by Fondal with his shield.

The fire demon took a few steps back, as if he wanted to give up. At this moment, the sheep's hoof that left burning footprints suddenly tilted, as if it had stepped into a mud pit.

The stone ground that was supposed to be solid softened and deformed, like a pair of hands tightly holding on to one of the fire demon's hind legs.

Pei Renli threw away the fragments of the Sinking Scroll and shouted:

"Now! It can't move!"

"God's grace!"

The sacred light gathered on the dwarf's battle ax and quickly magnified in front of the fire demon's eyes, making almost no sound. The excellent and sharp battle ax left a flickering aura on the fire demon's body.

In an instant, the aura expanded little by little, and the fire demon's ugly body split open from the middle, and slowly fell down, turning into two corpses.

It was the first time for the three of them to face the demon face to face. They were a little worried about whether the description in the monster manual was correct, for fear that the fire demon would stand up again. When they saw that it was indeed motionless, they all relaxed their tense nerves.

I dare not breathe a sigh of relief, after all, the surrounding area is too smelly.

The Fire Demon itself is not a very powerful demon, and its weaknesses are also very obvious. It is immune to fire, but it can deal critical hits with cold damage.

Unfortunately, Pei Renli does not have a convenient and quick cold damage spell, so we have to say how important it is for a mage to expand the strike area.

Feng Daal turned around and raised his hand to pat Pei Renli to express his good cooperation, but his originally smiling face froze in the next moment, and his little carrot-like finger pointed diagonally upward.

"What is that!"

At the end of the crack about twenty or thirty meters away from them, a bird-headed monster could be seen squeezing into the crack. It was almost successful.

A vulture-like bird head with sharp teeth, a lizard-like scaly body and sharp claws all point to a kind of demon.
Chapter completed!
