update icon Updated at 2026/1/18 17:00:02

The other party seemed to be full of goodwill towards me, as the strange thing in front of my eyes quickly assembled itself when I had just wondered in my mind what it was. As they came together, the eyes of those skulls suddenly lit up, and the red twin pupils looked like a large cluster of red dots wriggling.

When they came together, the name of the monster automatically appeared above its head.

+ Lesser Second Tier Demon +

Death Alliance Body LV60

"Lesser demon? Is this place hell?"

I wiped the sweat off my forehead. This was the first time I had seen someone's subordinate displayed in their name. Could it be that only those in special factions had this?

"Aliyah?"

"Yes, I see. It seems that this is something from a different class than us."

Aliyah crouched down and took out her two chainsaws.

Red light emitted from the chainsaws, and as the magic saw rapidly rotated, two flames danced on top of the chainsaws.

"Oh, although I have summoned undead before, this is the first time I've seen a demon~"

Fran was quite casual. The skulls in her hands slowly lit up, and two grey mists emerged, condensing into two skeleton soldiers in front of her.

【Death Servant】, depending on the user's ability, can summon various types of undead. This is a lower level summoning magic, as the other summoning magic would directly summon demons.

Since Fran was already able to summon two undead, it meant that her abilities were quite strong.

"Is it effective to use undead against demons?"

"Undead are actually the predecessors of demons, they just lack consciousness. Although they may be oppressed by higher demons, it should be fine against lower tier demons like this."

"You said you haven't seen a demon before, so how do you know?"

"Well of course...that's why I said 'should be fine'."

"Well...okay then."

I smiled wryly and took out the 【Lord of Hell Scepter】.

"It seems we need to have a good discussion with this demon."

Although I had briefly interacted with the magic Imperial City, as well as the magic gods.

Speaking of which, I don't remember seeing their faction markings at that time... Could it be a new content that appeared after the system update? But why don't regular demons have it?

Could it be... the division of these markings is based on different regions? Human realm, hell, and heaven?

But why didn't I see the '+ human realm +' marking above our heads?

Or is it only applicable to different races in different regions?

However, just as I was pondering this question, Aliyah and the two revenants had already rushed forward.

This demon looked like a worm made of bones, except that this worm... was a bit too big.

The body of the demon occupied more than half of the passage, but it did not hinder its movement at all. It was as if this passage perfectly suited its needs, as evidenced by the fact that even though its body appeared very large, it was still crossing the passage at a faster speed than Aliyah and the others.

The bodies of the two death servants turned and the two long swords directly stabbed into the abdomen of the giant worm. The blades pierced through, seemingly cutting open several skulls in the creature's belly.

But in the next second, the demon actually flicked the shattered parts away and replaced them with intact segments.

The method of regeneration is truly enviable, even more so than the gecko.

"Ultimate Double-Cut."

Two red slashes directly penetrated the demon's body, but just like before, it regenerates after regurgitating the damaged parts.

What a troublesome guy. I carefully observed its HP and couldn't believe how slowly it was decreasing... No, it's not just slow; the previous attack only caused a slight decrease in its HP.

...

However... I seemed to have discovered something during that attack. The demon's HP only decreases when the wound hasn't fully healed.

In other words... if its body is in a state where it can't recover, does it mean it will continue losing HP?

Regardless, it's necessary to try.

The demon's body spins and lunges directly towards Aliyah, who is still in mid-air!

"Slash!"

Aliyah immediately turns around and slashes at the demon.

But, in that instant, several arms stretch out towards Aliyah!

"What... what is this?!"

Aliyah swiftly swings her weapon and cuts off all the arms at the front, but the next wave of arms immediately grabs hold of her!

"Let me go, damn it!"

"Really..."

It's supposed to be a DPS, but ended up playing as a tank. She really doesn't learn...

Ahh..

I waved the staff on my hand, a blue ray instantly gathered on the tip of the sataff.

"Ultimate Freezing Ray!"

The blue ray shot on the other party , and the side of his body turned into a ice block.

And I just drew my Bloodmoon out , with a dash, I moved myself in front of the demon, than I aimed those malformed arms of his.

A black slash appeared, then all those arms were cut off.

"Ice totem!"

Then I use the Ice totem to lift my up to reach the falling Aliyah.

Meanwhile, a ice pillar stretched out from the side of the totem then pierced through the demon's belly.

"C'mon, you should do it quicker if you can do such thing."

"Stop Complaining, It didn't lose much HP!"

Indeed, the demon just left its broken parts, the climbed out of the crack of the totem after reforming its body.

"Damn it!"

I shot another Freezing Ray again, but it hit where it escaped from.

Then I heard a sulk sound"Dong", but when I lifted the freezing wall, all I can see is the wall being repaired.

"There is so many amazing things in this maze..."

I knocked on the mechanical door

"Undestroyable, I guess there will be many troubles waiting before us."
