Chapter 48 Brain Demon
Night falls.

After yesterday's demon siege and border exploration, Kassel can now only gather more than a hundred elite soldiers above level 40, a small half of whom are from the Adventurer's Guild and people living in Kassel.

At this time they were ready to go and gathered at the city gate.

Ron divided them into 20 teams according to their abilities.

"Why choose to act at night?" After being assigned to the same group with Ron, Celia asked with a frown.

There are almost no demons that can gain strength bonuses during the day, but there are too many demons that can gain strength bonuses at night.

The Third and Sixth Legions of the Demon King's Army are mostly composed of undead and vampires, both of which were born for the night.

At night, they can exert much greater strength than during the day.

"Have you heard of the Brain Demon?" Ron asked.

Brain demon?

It wasn't a high-ranking demon, and Celtia couldn't recall any relevant information about it.

"According to the Brave Speedrunner's Handbook, the Brain Demon is a mid-level demon that looks similar to humans and likes to eat human brains. It last appeared thirty years ago," Ron recalled for her.

"The brain demon's ability is to interfere with the brain's thinking ability, causing people to act irrationally. In the past, many clergy of the Holy See of Light were brainwashed by the brain demon and did things that were disgraceful to the clergy."

Seeing Ron staring at her while he was explaining the brain demon's abilities, Celia frowned and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Ron coughed lightly and said, "I think the commander of the demons outside the city is the Brain Demon."

"How is this possible? How can a middle-level demon command so many middle-level demons?" asked Celtia.

The demons have a stronger sense of hierarchy than humans. Only the strong ones from higher races are worthy of commanding them, and races of the same level will not submit to each other.

"It is indeed impossible for the middle-level demons to command the middle-level demons, but the brain demon race has advanced to a superior race under the experimental improvements of the great demon Lilith." Ron said.

Advanced?
Celia looked at Lawrence in confusion.

Lawrence shook his head. He hadn't heard of it either.

It had been a long time since there had been any battle reports about the Brain Demon from the frontline of the City of Dawn. He didn't understand how Ron knew about this.

Ron continued, "Cerebral demons that have advanced to a higher level of race abandon their bodies and parasitize the brains of other demons. In addition to their original abilities, they gain the ability to parasitize other brains, and can freely transfer between parasitic brains."

After hearing this, everyone frowned.

Freely transferred in the brain? How can this be killed?

"Don't worry, there are fatal flaws in advancing to the Brain Demon stage."

Ron said, "Since they've abandoned their original bodies, their energy consumption is very high. They can only move during periods of active spiritual energy, which is during the day. At night, they enter a dormant state to store energy."

It turned out to be the case.

Everyone was stunned.

No wonder Ron chose to act at night.

"But it is still very difficult to find the dormant brain demon among so many demons." Lawrence said.

"This requires strategy," Ron began to explain the details of the operation. "We just need to take advantage of the brain demon's dormancy and attack the demons from different directions, leading them towards the city. Then, we will see which demons react the fastest. The brain demon must be nearby, because mental communication starts from near and spreads to far."

"After that, we just need to return to the city and wait for two or three hours. Once it has lowered its guard and fallen asleep again, we can concentrate our firepower and storm that area."

"What if it moves?" Lawrence expressed his worries.

"No," Ron said firmly. "First, it doesn't know its presence has been exposed. Secondly, the Brain Demon's ability to move at night is greatly restricted, and the energy consumption is also enormous. It won't move unless it has to."

"As for our first round of sneak attacks, they will simply think we are trying to be clever and lure them into attacking the city, so that we can take the opportunity to disintegrate them."

He is fighting a battle of information asymmetry.

When the Brain Demon made his first appearance after thirty years, he would not have thought that someone had already known of his existence, so it was impossible for him to move carefully.

The only possibility that the Brain Demon would move to another location is if there was a spy among them.

Ron had used his identification skills to check everyone present and found no spies from the demon clan.

After listening to Ron's analysis, everyone felt that it made sense.

“And then?” Lawrence asked.

What to do after the attack?

If the Brain Demon cannot be located quickly, it may still be able to move and escape. "Then leave it to me." Ron did not continue speaking.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's get moving!"

Twenty teams spread out on the city wall, each heading in the direction assigned by Ron.

Twenty teams, twenty directions, and detailed division can more accurately lock the specific location of the brain demon.

As the huge bells rang in Kassel in the early morning.

Twenty teams jumped off the city wall at the same time and headed towards the areas they were responsible for.

Soon, a loud noise was heard in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, the angry roars of the demons were heard from all directions.

Ron asked Celia to cast a sixth-level spell and then ran into the city.

After running a certain distance, they would stop and harass again, thus maintaining a certain safe distance and leading the demons closer to the city wall.

The roars of the demons were incessant and their attacks became more and more fierce, but with the protection of three bodyguards, Ron was not in danger of his life.

About 300 meters away from the city wall, the furious demons behind them stopped and did not follow.

It looks like the brain demon is taking action.

When Ron returned to the city, several teams had already returned.

"Who crushed the Star Crystal?" Ron asked.

Star-ringing Crystal is a magical item that has been soaked in magic potion. If you crush one of them, the others will also shatter.

When assigning the teams, Ron equipped each team with a Starring Crystal and told them that whoever's team's demons reacted the fastest to the decoy attack would crush the Starring Crystal.

"It's me." A burly man with the Adventurer's Guild's fine steel medal on his shoulder stood up.

"Which direction is your team responsible for?" Ron asked, taking out a map with marked areas.

"Here." The burly man pointed to a corner of the map southwest of Kassel. "After we attacked the demons, they stopped after chasing us for less than a hundred meters."

"Well, you did a great job." Ron nodded with satisfaction.

Half an hour later, all the teams involved in the decoy attack returned safely to the city. Many of them were injured, but none of them were seriously injured.

After they recovered from their injuries, there was a long wait.

To ensure that everything went smoothly, Ron waited until the last moment before dark to take action.

"rush!"

Following Ron's order, more than a hundred people rushed out of the city gate and divided the work clearly to isolate the area circled on Ron's map.

This battle must be resolved quickly, otherwise once all the demons surround them, it will not be easy for them to escape.

"Your Majesty Ron, please hurry up!"

Don't rush, I'm finding it.

Carrying everyone's hopes, Ron used the Dew-stepping Technique to quickly move through the separated areas.

Rows of blue light screens flashed quickly in his eyes.

No.

Neither is this one.
