Persona: Devil Summoner

"No?".

"You are obviously laughing at me!".

"I was just thinking of happy things.".

"What happy news? Could it be that your wife is pregnant?"

"No, my master has a long nose.".

Elizabeth put away her smile, and in a serious tone, she made two 6s with her hands, and pressed them on her nose, as if imitating a long nose. Then she sang in a very childish, or rather pretentious, tone, a bit like that of an elementary school girl: "Long-long nose" "My master has a long nose-long nose-long nose-".

"Enough, enough, stop singing. So, let's put this topic aside for now. What is that blue room that looks like an elevator?"

"Oh. That's the site of my last job. But it's not a place of ruins... Let me think about how to translate it into something that you, with your IQ, can understand..."

"Your words are becoming more and more hurtful!"

"Ah, to put it simply, it's 'landscape of the mind'! Much easier to understand, right?"

"It's even harder to understand!"

"I thought you liked cartoons very much, so it would be easier to understand if I used cartoon terms to illustrate things to you."

The two of them chatted back and forth as if they were reciting a manzai, but there was no doubt that Elizabeth did not explain the blue room. The only thing she knew was its name. It seemed to be called the Velvet Room, a place that only selected guests could visit.

"I only have one last question now... Why me?"

Jiang Tianwei asked the most direct question directly. Elizabeth smiled mysteriously and did not comment.

Now that he knew about the existence of the Velvet Room, Jiang Tianwei figured out some things. For example, he would occasionally see Amamiya Ren being kicked into an iron gate by two little girls wearing the same color clothes. He probably thought he was also a guest of the Velvet Room.

It seems that except for himself and Amamiya Ren, other companions cannot see the Velvet Room, so it can be preliminarily determined that this is a special space. Then it involves a very important question, why are only himself and Amamiya Ren eligible?

Moreover, as Elizabeth was the one who gave him the demon summoning program, Jiang Tianwei didn't think there was anything wrong with it at first, until recently, when he heard some fragments of his mother's memories, it seemed that this demon summoning program was also one of his father's research directions...

Why would she give herself to me her father's research results, or rather, the unfinished research results?

Moreover, Jiang Tianwei could no longer remember the content of the strange, world-destroying text message he received in Kamoshida Castle a few months ago. Looking back at his phone, it was as if these messages had never appeared, and there was no record at all.

All these questions point to the unclear Velvet Room and Elizabeth, the receptionist of the Velvet Room.

"Are you asking why you have this qualification? Haha, that's true, it can only be said to be a [coincidence]... Although I really want to explain it to you in more detail, it seems that I will be "busy" soon."

Elizabeth said this with a mysterious smile, her blue gloves covering her lips.

As she spoke, Jiang Tianwei felt a chill all over his body. The scenery around him, which was originally quite fresh and clean, was now filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

Jiang Tianwei was not unfamiliar with this kind of momentum...

I'm afraid this is...

"Demon...?"

As if to provide evidence, the moment Jiang Tianwei opened his mouth, he felt his entire consciousness sink into a dark sea...

Chapter 278 Demon War : The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Jiang Tianwei would experience a trance every time he entered the battlefield of the demon war. He was almost used to it.

To paraphrase the words of a once very popular skit & crosstalk actor: close your eyes, open them again, and it’s over, hoo~

But the place we went to this time... was a little different.

The location of the Demon War is basically closely related to the demon's ability or experience. The bullfighters will be held in the arena, the great monks will be held in the Japanese garden, and the Hell's Angels love racing, so they will be held in the city racetrack. So, what is the location this time?

The answer is, nothing.

It was an endless expanse of yellow earth.

You must pay attention to the difference. It is not the texture of the desert, nor the beautiful bright yellow, but a grayish earth color. It is called loess, but the color is more grayish white. There is no trace of vitality at all.

The sky was filled with thick black clouds, which rolled in. The entire sun was clearly blocked, but surprisingly, it was still visible to the eyes.

There is not a single bit of life here. Hearing such a description, one might think of "destruction" or "destruction", but there is no such smell here.

What exists here is [nothing]. It is a feeling of nothingness, not about survival or extinction, not about hope or despair, there is nothing here.

“Tsk tsk tsk, I knew that the demons would join forces, but I didn’t expect them to come to me one by one every day to deliver food, just like the small bosses in the game. But…”.

Jiang Tianwei couldn't help but complain. The fact that someone like him who had seen a lot of the world could complain like this showed how unexpected the current situation was.

Because, in front of him were four demons!

Four, four!

Moreover, the four demons were dressed similarly and looked very similar, the only difference was their weapons. All four wore black robes from head to toe, and all rode horses without exception.

A man rides a white horse, wearing a golden crown on his head, holding a bow and arrow, and the horse is covered with eyes.

A man rides a red horse, holding a sword high, with cold light flowing on the blade.

A man was riding a grey horse with a huge scythe hanging low, and faintly one could hear the roars of hundreds of ghosts and evil spirits.

A man rode a black horse and held a scale in his hand.

Jiang Tianwei vaguely realized that this day would come.

Although it is not known whether this demon war was initiated by Elizabeth, based on Jiang Tianwei's experience of reading comics for so many years, the real purpose of this demon war is probably to train himself. In other words, to provide himself with trials in different scenarios.

The matador is a nimble fighter who is flawless as a fighter. He symbolizes his qualities as an enemy.

The great monk was a cunning strategist who had deceived Jiang Tianwei by pretending to surrender. He symbolized the cunningness of the enemy.

Needless to say, the Hell's Angels symbolize unmatched speed.

The main reason why Jiang Tianwei was able to defeat these demons one after another was because he had one biggest reliance, which was his demon summoning ability. If he couldn't win alone, he would use the human wave tactic...

I'm afraid this is why four demons appeared and attacked together now.

This time, his greatest reliance - the advantage in numbers - was also equaled by the opponent. Can he still win?

Jiang Tianwei just felt a headache. Fang Zexia was not by his side, but she still took up a summoning quota, and the result was that this battle was 3V4...

(It’s a bit difficult…)

Jiang Tianwei thought so, his eyes wandering around, looking for terrain that could be used... The result...

"Hey? You're still here?!"

Jiang Tianwei looked at Elizabeth beside him in shock. The latter smiled casually: "Of course, I am very interested in you. Don't let me down. If you are interesting enough, maybe something good will happen."

Jiang Tianwei wanted to say something, but Elizabeth giggled and pointed her finger behind Jiang Tianwei. Although she didn't say anything, Jiang Tianwei's warrior instinct, which had been honed by many years of battle, had already told him the answer...

Jiang Tianwei opened and closed his hands, and a pitch-black spear flew out of his hands. I don't know if it was because of the fusion with Dhritarashtra, but many dark golden lines appeared on the pitch-black spear in Jiang Tianwei's hand, which looked a bit like a Buddhist treasure.

It was too late to turn around, Jiang Tianwei turned the spear and put it behind his back...

Boom!

A huge force was fed back to his palm. Jiang Tianwei frowned and couldn't help but growl. He tensed his arm muscles with all his strength and supported the spear with his shoulders to resist the force behind him.

Zila la la la!

A teeth-grinding sound was heard, it was the peculiar sound caused by the violent friction between metals.

A red horse galloped past him, and the long sword in the demon's hand brushed past Jiang Tianwei's spear.

"persona!"

Jiang Tianwei was not one to take a loss. After being attacked by someone, Jiang Tianwei immediately summoned his persona. The metal giant Xiang Yu flew out from behind him. As he passed by him, the metal giant punched the demon red knight hard on the back...

With the arm strength of the Western Overlord Xiang Yu, it was not difficult to punch through his heart... However, the power of this punch was not transmitted to the Demon Red Knight at all. Jiang Tianwei took a glance and saw a golden feather arrow stuck in Xiang Yu's wrist. The golden light spreading from it made Xiang Yu's punch lose its due power.

"Tsk, come out! Bifrons, Setant!"

Following Jiang Tianwei's order, two mysterious magic circles emerged from Jiang Tianwei's side. The skeleton demon holding a candlestick and the Irish Son of Light holding a spear jumped out from the left and right like guardians.

In fact, Jiang Tianwei also thought about directly summoning Nuwa.

However, on the one hand, Nuwa's energy consumption was too great, and he was afraid that he would faint in the middle of the battle.

Secondly, since he understood that this was a test similar to a subject, Jiang Tianwei did not want to cheat by using powerful demons like Nuwa or Niangniang...

Thirdly... I'm mainly afraid that after I summon her, she will force me to call her mom. What should I do then...

After comprehensive consideration, Jiang Tianwei finally gave up summoning her. Anyway, if he couldn't beat her, he could just summon her at any time. With the trump card in hand, there was nothing to be afraid of.

"What a ferocious ghost energy... It's really scary. I don't know if my old bones can hold on."

As Bifrons spoke, he waved the candlestick in his hand, and several candles were seen swaying in the air. The orange light melted into the dull air, and the color dimmed at first, as if it was about to go out. Then, the whole space seemed to be ignited by the candlelight, and the red light rose into the sky with a strong burnt smell!

The fire seemed to have consciousness and flew towards the white knight holding a bow in the air. The white knight pulled the reins and the white horse seemed to have no need for a foothold. It raised its body and climbed up to avoid the aggressive fire. At the same time, the white knight pulled the bow and a beautiful white light condensed into an arrow in his palm and shot it towards Bifrons!

The arrow was fast and accurate, but Bifrons was a demon summoned by Solomon after all. How could he lead an army in the demon world without some skills? The flickering flames quickly climbed up Bifrons' black dress, as if to burn him to ashes. Before the arrow arrived, Bifrons was burned to ashes without a trace. The next second, a flame condensed and formed in the place where the flames were burning not far away. It was Bifrons.

"You're quite good at this, Skull."

Setant praised him, and a sense of confrontation rose in his heart. He was originally the kind of arrogant demon who loved to be in the limelight. He saw that he was not the most popular person today. How could he accept it? He immediately grasped the spear in his hand and fought harder against the gray knight holding a huge sickle, like the god of death...

Unlike the tough battle on Jiang Tianwei's side, in a corner of this tense demon war, Elizabeth was yawning out of boredom, her beautiful pair of bright yellow eyes staring at the people fighting fiercely here, as if she was watching some boring B-level movie.

As if it had nothing to do with her, Elizabeth watched a group of people fighting in an absolutely safe place.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 279 Hit and run is a standard tactic!

The demon's gray-white knight holds a heavy and sharp scythe in his hand.

The cavalry charge was the absolute king of warfare in the cold weapon era. The speed driven by the galloping horses, the quality of the unity of man and horse, plus the sharpness of the weapons in their hands, the combined impact of the three can only be described as terrifying.

The only condition that limited this tactic was that humans, as weapon users, could hardly withstand the reaction force of the impact. Therefore, in the era of cavalry charge, cavalry lances that would break at the slightest touch were developed in order to protect the safety of the cavalry themselves.

But now, because the cavalry are demons, they have bodies that are far stronger than humans and can ignore the reaction force and charge without restraint. This is a different situation!

Although everyone liked infantry when watching videos online, now Setant only hated why he was not a cavalryman.

"Tsk, running around, I can't catch him at all..."

Setant muttered this and spat, spitting out the dirt and ashes in his mouth along with his indignation.

The Gray Knight's tactics were a standard "hit and run" method, using his speed advantage to constantly circle around Setant, and when the opportunity presented itself, he would charge. The weapon he used was a war sickle, which was developed from farm tools. It was rare to see this type of weapon except in fantasy works. From a practical point of view, it looked like a saber with a long handle.

He didn't need any skills or tactics, he just needed to use his speed, find the moment when Setant's attention was distracted, and rush forward. Speed ​​was the absolute advantage of the Gray Knight, he would never fight with the opponent, no matter whether he succeeded or not, he would always get away with one blow.

It's hard to say whether this tactic will work against a martial arts expert like Setant, but it will definitely make him very annoyed. Because every time he is not careful, he will be attacked from the blind spot, and once he tries to fight back, that guy will definitely withdraw first... It's really troublesome.

Suddenly, Setant keenly sensed some kind of ominous magic fluctuation coming from the side. Almost instinctively, he leaped towards the side with all his strength, creating some distance. Then, a black torrent of magic spread along the ground, like a river at night, the black water flowed aimlessly and at the same time, because it reflected the stars and the bright moonlight, it was shimmering with sparkling waves.

However, contrary to this romantic scenery, there is an ominous curse power in the magical fluctuations that are similar to a quagmire. Setant knows very well that if he touches this thing, it will definitely not be a joke!

This dark liquid was obviously not something naturally generated. In the center of the liquid was a black knight riding a black horse. He held high the scale in his hand, which was now exaggeratedly distorted. Black liquid was constantly flowing out of the tray. It looked like just a trickle, but it created such an exaggerated black quagmire...

"Come here! Setant!".

Just when Setant was wondering what to do, he heard a loud shout beside him, and saw a flaming motorcycle speeding above the mud!

When the devil Hell's Angel gave his motorcycle to Jiang Tianwei, he called it "a motorcycle that can go anywhere".

Not only the ground and tall buildings in the physical sense, but even things like fire that cannot be reached by conventional means can be used as pathways.

When Setant saw that there was such a steel steed on this cursed land, he quickly adjusted his body in mid-air and landed behind Jiang Tianwei's seat.

"Cool! That's why I said your iron horse is so cool."

Setant sat happily in the back seat and couldn't help but pat Jiang Tianwei on the shoulder: "Come on, buddy, let's go and beat these skeletons on horseback!"

However, why should he talk too much? The demons summoned Jiang Tianwei here, definitely not for a tea party. At some point, the Red Knight and the Pale Knight sandwiched Jiang Tianwei's motorcycle from the left and right. Jiang Tianwei held the handlebars with one hand, picked up the black spear with his free right hand, and stabbed at the Red Knight beside him.

As the saying goes, an inch longer is an inch stronger. In actual combat, the length of the weapon is a considerable advantage.

The Red Knight's weapon is a sword, so Jiang Tianwei's spear naturally has the advantage of length.

What Jiang Tianwei didn't know was that the sword in the hand of the Demon Red Knight was not an ordinary weapon. Although it looked ordinary, it contained powerful magic. Facing ordinary weapons, it was really invincible.

If Jiang Tianwei had not merged with Dhritarashtra, Elige's spear would have been cut off in the first attack. Thanks to that fusion, the spear evolved into a Buddha treasure-like existence with the same level of mystery, so it naturally had considerable resistance to the sword.

The Demon Red Knight's skeleton wrists swung continuously, the sword edge flashed, and the sharp sword light weaved into a dense sword net.

There is a famous saying in the storytelling and drama circles: Real skills are not seen on horseback.

It is known that it is nothing more than controlling the distance while riding a horse and attacking at the same time. What affects the outcome of the battle is not only the weapon and the person's skills, but also the horsemanship and the quality of the horse itself. Now the Red Knight has personally experienced the meaning of this sentence.
