Chapter 97 A Mere Initial Demon
Loren did not lose consciousness.

With the girl's help, he steadied himself.

"What's your name?" Loren asked softly.

"My daughter has no name."

Doesn't it have a name...?

After a moment's thought, Loren said, "Then I'll call you Bai Xi from now on."

"Thank you, Master."

Bai Xi bowed respectfully once again.

Loris looked at Loren, "As expected of you, even the demons you summon are women. However..."

She looked Bai Xi up and down. "Young lady, why have you kept your eyes closed?"

Bai Xi sensed a familiar life force emanating from Lolis.

She guessed Loris's identity and replied politely, "Bai Xi will open her eyes when she needs to."

"You can see even with your eyes closed?" Hela asked, puzzled.

"The world is so murky, there's no need to see it too clearly."

Loren solemnly elevated the topic to a philosophical level.

Hela looked at Loren in surprise.

Loris rolled her eyes. "Crazy."

“You should also try it and see if you can summon a demon,” Loren said.

Loris arrived in front of the magic circle and dripped her blood in as Loren had instructed.

The red light flashed continuously for a long time.

After a long time, a white skeleton the size of an infant appeared in the center of the magic circle.

Holding a shield in its left hand and a sword in its right, it ran up to Loris and knelt down, looking rather dim-witted.

Loris was speechless.

"Why? Why do you summon a beautiful woman, while I only summon a little skeleton?"

Loren looked at Bai Xi, "Do you know why?"

Upon hearing Loren's voice, Bai Xi blushed slightly. "Respected master, demons respond to summons based on the summoner's soul aura. This girl's soul aura is too intense, and few demons like it."

Another possibility is that the magic circle's power has been exhausted, making it unable to summon higher-ranking demons.

Loren wondered if his soul aura wasn't fiery.

He sighed and patted Loris on the shoulder. "It's alright, this little skeleton might be very strong."

Loris looked at the little skeleton who couldn't even stand up straight, feeling helpless.

"Never mind, you should go back."

The little skeleton returned to the demon realm looking dejected.

Loris felt a soul contract appear in her mind, allowing her to summon the little skeleton at any time.

Next up is Hella.

Hela was initially quite interested in the summoning, but upon seeing Loris's little skeleton, she suddenly lost the desire to offer her blood.

"I think I'd better not. What if I summon an ugly demon? I'll have nightmares tonight."

She felt that most demons were ugly.

A girl as beautiful as Bai Xi must be extremely rare.

Loren urged, "This demon summoning is very powerful; it might even save your life in a critical moment. Are you really not going to summon it?"

Hela's expression was very determined.

Seeing her expression, Loren stopped trying to persuade her.

"Little deer, why don't you give it a try?"

Loren dragged Lilia to the magic circle and cut her finger.

Unfortunately, Lilia was unable to donate blood.

She is a dreamlike spirit born of nature, without blood.

Lilia looked at Loren with a wronged expression, "What are you doing?"

Loren coughed lightly, "This is to pray for your well-being and health."

Lilia looked at Loren with a skeptical expression. "Really?"

"Of course it's true. Have I ever lied to you?"

"That's fine."

Lilia cannot summon demons, and elves probably can't either.

It's a pity I didn't bring Xuefu this time.

Even summoning a little skeleton would be fine; at least it's a resurrection item.

But since the magic circle has always been here, there should be opportunities in the future, right?

Just then, a pebble suddenly fell from the stone wall above.

Then, the entire ruins began to collapse bit by bit.

Stones continued to fall, and the runes on the magic circle quietly cracked.

Before long, the entire Demon Ruins were completely reduced to ruins.

In fact, the ruins had already begun to self-destruct after Bai Xi was summoned.

The room deepest in the ruins was the last to be affected.

Loris suddenly realized, "I understand! It must be because you exhausted the magic circle's power beforehand that I only summoned a small skeleton!"

"Huh? How can you blame me for this?"

What Loris said is most likely true.

Summoning Bai Xi likely exhausted all the power of the magic circle.

He even suspected that Bai Xi's inability to open her eyes was due to insufficient power of the magic array.

"Aren't the little skeletons kind of cute?"

It's a bit weak, but it doesn't consume magic power!

With Loris's magic power, she definitely wouldn't be able to handle summoning a demon that's too powerful!

Loris didn't dwell on it too much.

She also knew that she couldn't summon a very powerful demon.

How much magic does she possess?

How much magic did Loren consume?

It's clear at a glance.

only……

Having consumed so much magic power, just how strong is Bai Xi?
Suddenly, Loris sensed a powerful aura approaching.

"Loren, someone's coming!"

Loren also sensed something.

He looked up at the horizon and saw a fiery red figure.

It had a terrifying face, was covered in flames, had a pair of red wings on its back, and held a flaming longsword, hovering in the air.

demon!

Loren recalled the female kobold's words: "The leader of the kobold territory forbids anyone from entering the demon ruins."

He likely already knows the secrets of the ruins.

The demon before us is very likely the one he summoned!

According to previous intelligence, the lord of the kobold territory is a kobold general.

The general is stronger than the Earth Knight.

The demon he summoned must be quite powerful!
"Sure enough, some small insects have intruded into the ruins. It seems you've also summoned a Primal Demon?" The Flame Demon looked Bai Xi up and down with great interest.

The Primal Demon?

Loren felt a chill run down his spine.

Is Bai Xi's strength inferior to that of the fire demon?
possible!
Although he had consumed a great deal of magic power, he was, after all, just an ordinary, formal wizard.

Loren looked at Loris, "Are you confident you can beat him?"

Lorris shook her head. "Obviously not, he can fly."

Loris felt the terrifying aura emanating from the fire demon.

His strength is very high, even surpassing that evil vengeful spirit!

What's even more troublesome is that he can fly.

Loren's anti-air capabilities are limited.

Only Hela's water-based spells can barely attack targets in the air.

As for the others, including the two great elves, they had little chance of harming the fire demon.

It was obvious that the fire demon was coming for them.

In this situation, the only option is probably to use the Dragon Summoning Flute to escape.

"Honorable Master, is Bai Xi needed to take action?"

Loren was taken aback by his question. "Can you beat him?"

"it should be OK."

"Okay, then it's up to you."

Loren could take this opportunity to see Bai Xi's strength.

If she is no match for the Flame Demon, she will have to use the Dragon Summoning Flute.

The Flame Demon overheard Loren and Bai Xi's conversation.

He gave a disdainful laugh. "Ha, you've come to be my opponent?"

“An opponent?” Bai Xi walked gracefully to Loren and said softly, “I am only acting on my master’s orders to take your life.”

"Hahaha, a mere initial demon dares to speak so arrogantly!"

The Flame Demon swung his longsword, unleashing a powerful burst of fiery sword energy.

Bai Xi moved gracefully and waved gently.

It was just in time to disperse the fire blades as they were about to strike.

The attack was deflected effortlessly, leaving no trace of damage.

The Flame Demon's expression hardened, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

How could a mere initial demon possibly block his attack so easily?

"Looks like you're a defensive demon. I'll see how long you can last."

The Flame Demon raised his sword again, only to find that his right hand was no longer under his control.

and many more!

Where are his hands?

Before anyone knew it, his body had been split into two parts!
His right hand, holding the flaming longsword, along with his lower body, plummeted toward the ground.

When did this happen?
Why was he completely unaware?
Was the attack launched by this primordial demon?

impossible!
She clearly didn't move at all!
The Flame Demon was completely baffled.

He had no time to think about it.

Although I don't know why my body split into two.

But the most urgent task is to escape this place as soon as possible!

Before he could turn around, the fire demon found that the entire world had split in two.

No.

The world has not split in two.

His eyes and head were split in two.

The fire demon's life force was rapidly fading.

He felt that he had already lost before he had even given it his all.

What exactly is that female demon?
Why does it possess such formidable strength?

Come to think of it, isn't this the location of the Demon Ruins?

Why did the ruins turn into wasteland?

This is a relic left by an ancient demon; it can never be destroyed unless the power of the magic array is exhausted.

and many more!

Has the magic array's power been exhausted?

The Flame Demon looked at Bai Xi again.

Could she be...?

Before the words were spoken, the demon vanished in black smoke.

Bai Xi gracefully returned to Loren's side, her face flushed, and bowed respectfully, "Respected Master, Bai Xi has lived up to your expectations."

She kept her eyes closed, and Loren couldn't read her emotions through them.

But he sensed that Bai Xi, like Lilia, was seeking his praise.

Loren reached out and gently stroked Bai Xi's head, feeling her soft, snow-white hair. "Well done."

I never expected Bai Xi to be so strong.

Lilia sensed an inexplicable danger and hurriedly stepped forward, saying, "Let me pet the fawn too!"

Loren never showed favoritism.

Loris and Hela exchanged a glance, both showing their shock.

Normally, they might have made a few teasing remarks.

But now, they are more curious about Bai Xi's strength.

That fire demon was at least as strong as a high-ranking earth knight.

Bai Xi defeated him so easily, doesn't that mean she has the combat power of a Sky Knight?

That's a Sky Knight!
There are no more than five in the entire Elf Kingdom!

Even including the dragon elves, the Elf Kingdom has no more than twenty people!

Loris marveled once again at Loren's good fortune.

She could only summon a tiny skeleton, even though she was also summoning demons.

Even if she uses the magic circle first, the summoned demon won't be much stronger.

Loren will most likely still be able to summon Bai Xi, at most weakening her power a little more...
