Chapter 144 The Fall of a Level Four Demon

Orianna's arrogant words clearly provoked strong dissatisfaction from the two level-four demons.

"What arrogant young humans! They're barely able to protect themselves, yet they want to capture us and torture us severely?"

"Your suggestion has given me quite an idea. Once I capture you, I'll definitely sell you as a slave to a high-ranking noble in the demon realm. Their methods of manipulating humans are astounding, even to me. Hehehehe."

A chilling, evil laugh rang out, and the true forms of two level-four demons finally emerged from the darkness, revealing their true appearances.

With his improved eyesight after his second job advancement, Louis was able to make out the outlines of the two demons.

One of them was tall and thin, with sickle-like bone spurs on his elbows; the sneer came from him.

The other one was more human-like in appearance, wearing heavy, purplish-black armor and sporting a pair of enormous, twisted, and winding demon horns on its head.

Both of these demons possessed extremely terrifying auras.

The darkness around them seemed to be deeper than the night itself, permeating the surrounding darkness and even obscuring the starlight in the sky.

Even though the two sides were dozens of miles apart, Louis was overwhelmed by that evil aura and could hardly breathe.

Without a doubt, if these two level-four demons wanted to, they could easily kill him, or even all the creatures in Blackrock City.

This made Louis hope that Orianna would win.

If she loses, Louis doesn't think the two level-four demons will obediently leave.

If they had any spare strength, they would definitely slaughter the entire city of Blackrock to accumulate more offerings to summon their companions.

So the question is, can two against one win?

Just when many people in Blackrock City shared Louis's concerns, Orianna made her move.

She uttered a soft whisper: "Wind."

The next second, a cyan tornado that stretched from the sky to the ground, seemingly about to engulf everything, appeared out of thin air and swept the two level-four demons into it.

Amidst the howling winds and swirling clouds in the sky, the grass and trees on the plains, and even smaller monsters, were uncontrollably swept up by the tornadoes and entangled in the terrifying tornadoes.

In an instant, the creatures caught in the tornado were shredded to pieces, adding a touch of blood to the dark blue-green tornado.

How many demons did this tornado take away?

One thousand? Five thousand? Ten thousand? Or one hundred thousand?

Louis couldn't calculate it all, but he knew for sure that even he, far away at the foot of the city wall, could feel the pulling force of the tornado. The petite catgirl captain beside him had to hold onto her young clan leader's arm to avoid being swept up.

Several small to medium-sized monsters that were only a few dozen meters away from him were forcibly swept away.

"fire!"

Orianna's icy voice echoed once again from the heavens and earth.

Golden-red flames suddenly appeared and coiled around the tornado, spreading throughout the entire tornado in the blink of an eye.

The combination of wind and fire not only fuels the fire, but also overlaps on a magical level, causing the tornado's power to increase exponentially.

Amidst the fiery red gale, faint screams could be heard—they seemed to be the voices of a level four demon.

"Thunder! Lightning! Snow!"

Orianna uttered each word carefully, and with each word, an additional attribute appeared on the fire tornado.

In the end, the tornado, which had incorporated all five elements, had expanded to more than five times its original size.

The massive monster horde suffered a loss of over 70% under the onslaught of the tornado, and the air on the battlefield was filled with a strong smell of blood and burnt flesh.

Louis watched this scene in amazement.

Orianna's magic was more terrifying than any natural disaster.

If the five-fold tornado explodes inside Blackrock City and no one stops it, the city of one million people will be completely destroyed in a short time, and no one inside will have a chance to escape.

In comparison, even Molly the Hero's extraordinary assassin seems cute in terms of power and range.

As for the difference between Louis himself and Oriana?

Even though Louis's combat strength is already very close to that of a level three professional, the gap between him and Oriana is far more than a hundred or a thousand times.

Even Sir Callenno, who is said to be at the peak of the third tier, is dozens of times weaker than Orianna.

That's how big the gap is between level three and level four.

Louis's slightly inflated ego, fueled by the significant increase in his combat strength, was immediately suppressed.

He couldn't help but wonder if this powerful magic could actually kill those two level-four demons.

After an unknown amount of time, without any new magic power being injected, the five-fold tornado gradually shrank in size and finally dissipated completely.

The original location was where the ground had sunk tens of meters, and the affected area spanned several kilometers.

Various pieces of wood, shredded into pieces, and fragments of monster flesh and bone were scattered in all directions, like rain.

The air was still scorching hot, radiating distorted heat waves, making it a veritable hell on earth.

In the center of these ruins, the two figures of the fourth-level demon race still hung in mid-air.

Their condition was clearly not good; the thin figure had a broken bone spur on his arm, and the other demon's armor was tattered and almost unusable.

"No—as expected of the legendary genius mage Orianna, your magic has successfully injured me."

The slender demon's voice grew increasingly ferocious: "It only caused me a minor injury, nothing more. Don't blame me for being ruthless from now on!"

The armored demon said in a deep voice, "I have always been lenient towards the strong. I will make sure you die without pain."

Upon hearing the words of the two level-four demons, Louis's heart sank.

Did the five-fold tornado technique have little effect?

Is it true that the one who strikes first always loses?

Is the blonde, mature woman Orianna about to be captured by an evil demon?

But the next second, the mature woman's languid voice rang out: "What are you talking about? I was just warming up and clearing out the mobs."

"Now that the warm-up is over, you can all die."

The slender demon was clearly caught off guard and exclaimed in surprise, "What did you say?" Before he could finish speaking, Orianna raised her long, thin wand and made a light horizontal sweep in the air.

The moment the wand traced a straight line, the Slender Man's voice abruptly stopped.

His head slid off his neck and fell straight to the ground.

Not only him, but another armored demon also turned around at the same time—their bodies, no longer under the control of their brains, fell to the ground like ripe apples, following a physical law that would satisfy Sir Isaac Newton.

This scene completely stunned Louis.

Orianna's attack just now was silent and stealthy, yet it felt even more terrifying to him than the powerful five-fold tornado from before.

Ten times more terrifying.

Even a level four demon was beheaded without any reaction.

All creatures below level four would obviously meet the same fate if faced with that move.

Clearly, Louis was not the only one who was shocked.

Dina stammered, "Wasn't Orianna supposed to be the kingdom's only mind mage? Is this really mind magic?"

"Of course."

Nora said in a reverent voice, "There are two schools of mind magic. The first school focuses on mind control, which is easy to understand, so I won't go into details."

"The second school of thought is all about wish fulfillment. Simply put, it's about getting whatever you want. Commanding the wind and rain is just the most basic operation."

"What's truly terrifying is that this school of mind magicians only needs to paint the scene of an enemy's gruesome death on a canvas, and the content of the painting will be projected into reality, causing the enemy to die in the way depicted in the painting."

"Orianna is clearly a mind mage of the wish-granting school."
