104: Carlos, with no way to escape

rhino tanks pursued from behind, shells raining down amidst the demon soldiers, exploding one after another. For a moment, severed limbs flew everywhere. Along the path they had taken, Bozi Youning' ppsh-41 submachine gun spewed fire wildly, countless bullets flying towards them like a torrential rain. Those in front were instantly riddled with holes, falling to the ground, green blood gushing out.

Wei He spotted a small group of demon soldiers separated from the main force. He immediately jumped out, clenched his fists, lightly pounded his chest, and with a grin, charged towards this small contingent of demon soldiers.

Seeing only Wei He approaching, this small group of demon soldiers surrounded him, planning to subdue him before resuming their escape.

"Hahahaha, you all rest, I'll handle this little thief!" Demon Soldier Jia shook his head, his green pupils brazenly staring at the thin young man before him.

"Ah, Big Brother, why trouble yourself with such a trivial matter? I'll take care of him. Look, he doesn't even have two taels of meat on him, not enough for a snack, hahahaha!" Demon Soldier B, whose scaled face bore a scar, brandished his great saber, eager to fight. The blade was sharpened to an extreme, capable of cutting a hair blown upon it.

"Let me handle this kid. Judging by his appearance, he should have plenty of lean meat. I'll take him back and roast him, hahahaha!" Demon Soldier Bing held a spiked mace, its sharp spikes exceedingly lethal. As he spoke, he prepared to smash it down on Wei He's head.

The others quickly stopped him, starting to argue amongst themselves, each wanting to make the first move. Wei He yawned repeatedly while waiting, urging them, "Why don't you all come at once? You're so inconsiderate of time even when escaping, you're destined to fall into my hands!"

"Kid, you've got a big mouth. Since you're so eager to die, we'll grant your wish!" The others looked at Wei He disdainfully, wondering how they would eat this tender, weak little chicken later.

Demon Soldier Jia roared and pounced, his steel saber whistling as it swung towards Wei He's face. Wei He channeled his Supernatural Ability energy, his entire body instantly turning golden yellow. Demon Soldier Jia's saber struck Wei He's face with a clang, reverberating and making Demon Soldier Jia's hand ache. Wei He, however, was completely unharmed, looking at the group with a calm demeanor.

Demon Soldier Jia, enraged, continued to charge with his saber. Wei He caught the incoming steel saber with his left hand and punched Demon Soldier Jia in the stomach with his right. Demon Soldier Jia's armor cracked from the blow, and he doubled over with a yelp. Wei He then kicked him in the backside, sending him face-first into the mud.

The others began to snicker at Demon Soldier Jia's incompetence. Demon Soldier Bing raised his spiked mace and swung it down. Wei He dodged with a quick jump to the side. The mace struck the ground with a bang, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Wei He seized the opportunity to pounce, grabbing Demon Soldier Bing's waist and flipping him with all his might. Losing his balance, Demon Soldier Bing crashed down, spread-eagled. Wei He stepped on him. Demon Soldier Bing spat green blood, and the armor on his chest was deformed. This time, he wouldn't recover without at least a year and a half of rest.

Seeing this situation, the others tried to escape but were quickly dealt with by Wei He. Not only had Wei He's Supernatural Ability level increased, but he had also learned a few martial arts techniques from the Magic Empire in Laiseluo City, more than enough to handle a few demon soldiers.

"Commander, you're already an Entry Level Ability User, congratulations!" Huang Yichen had been observing from the side, protecting Wei He.

"Hahahaha, these little nobodies are no match for me anymore. Take them back; we'll barbecue them when we have nothing to do!" Wei He said to Huang Yichen as he walked towards the anti-air tracked vehicle.

"Understood, Commander!" Huang Yichen replied respectfully.

The battle in Kodo Beast Hills was nearing its end. Without the leadership of ability users, the remaining minor demon soldiers were no match for Bozi Youning and the rhino tanks. They were utterly helpless against the ppsh-41 submachine gun and tank shells, with many dead, injured, and even more fleeing in disarray. Soon, the battlefield was left with only those who hadn't managed to escape and a small handful of individuals with extremely strong fighting will.

Wei He ignored the situation there, riding the anti-air tracked vehicle straight towards Kongdi City.

In the Dark Forest, Carlos leaped from one dark tree to another, hoping to quickly shake off Neme, who was following behind. Neme chuckled; she was a Wind Mage after all.

"Oh, divine power, grant me sacred wings, let them soar through the heavens—Flight Spell!" No sooner had Neme finished her incantation than two wings made of wind appeared behind her. Neme's speed instantly increased.

Carlos had just leaped onto a new tree trunk when Neme appeared before him. He flinched in fright, his eyebrows knitted together, his pupils sharply contracting, and then he turned and leaped to another tree.

Neme was already waiting for him on the other tree trunk, softly saying, "Come back with me to face judgment, otherwise, I'll have no choice but to execute you on the spot. This is your only chance. After all, His Majesty's decree is 'kill without mercy.' If you're willing to return, I can intercede with His Majesty on your behalf!"

"Hahahaha, I never colluded with the enemy or betrayed my country, how else can I make you believe me? Do you think if I surrender and go back with you, you'll believe me? No, you're not going to trick me anymore!" Carlos said fiercely, the veins on his forehead throbbing, his eyes wide, and a savage smile twisting his lips. Neme had never seen him like this before.

"If you refuse to come back, I'll have no choice but to execute you now!" Neme said with a hint of reluctance on her fair face, her eyes dimming.

"If anyone is to kill me, it shouldn't be you, after all, you and Charlie, I watched you both grow up!" Carlos finished speaking and quickly leaped into the air again, attempting to escape.

Neme casually flung out dozens of palm-sized tornadoes. The small tornadoes struck Carlos at an extremely fast speed. Seeing this, Carlos quickly activated his Magic Shield.

After all, Neme was a Magister-level Mage. The first small tornado directly shattered Carlos's Magic Shield, and the remaining small tornadoes all drilled into Carlos's body.

"Ah!" Carlos screamed, falling directly to the ground, and even spitting green blood from his mouth.

"Ah, what's going on? Why is this happening?" Carlos stared at the green blood in his hand, his entire body rigid, his mouth twitching, his eyes glazed over. It took him a long time to squeeze out that single sentence.

"Hmph, this indicates that you are already transforming into a demon, just like your son Charlie. Soon your entire body will be covered in demon scales. It's not too late to repent now. As long as you return to Laiseluo City, I believe the Light Mage will have a way to save you!" Neme said unhurriedly, looking at Carlos on the ground.

"Abyssal Demon, this must be the Abyssal Demon's doing, ah~" Carlos roared, casually flinging out a bolt of lightning that struck a nearby black tree. The black tree was directly split in two, but black flames ignited on it. The lightning bolt just now also had black aura attached to it.

"It seems the demon race has even boosted your strength, but unfortunately, this little power won't help you advance in rank!" Neme said, slowly drifting down to the ground.
