"Hey, why is that guy still alive? Didn't you kill him~"

"..."

Dullahan froze for a moment, and Livi beside him smiled teasingly, obviously having seen the truth that Dullahan had hidden and not said out loud.

It wasn't that Dullahan didn't want to finish off the opponent, but Dullahan himself was almost dead at the time, so he naturally didn't have the energy to finish off the opponent. He could only severely injure the opponent and watch him escape.

This naturally could not escape Livi's speculation. After all, according to Dullahan's temper, if she still had the strength to spare at that time, she would never have allowed the other party to live until now.

Moreover, that should be Dullahan’s last battle in the East Territory. After that, Dullahan never came to the East Territory again.

So in a sense, the giant rock crab in front of us is actually the ruler of the East Territory, but it is not a demon but a monster...

"So, who's coming?"

Although they were facing a terrifying monster that could dominate the East Territory, Livy did not seem nervous at all. She even asked Dullahan beside her with a smile.

Who is coming?

In short, who will take care of this big guy...

Mawa and her companions were definitely unable to succeed. Even with the help of the battle formation, it was obviously beyond their capabilities to confront such a monster head-on.

Naturally, the only ones who could deal with this monster were Livi and Dullahan.

Livi was naturally able to capture the victim easily, but she deliberately brought up this matter with Dullahan. Although she used a question, the eagerness in her tone clearly showed that she was planning to let Dullahan clean up the situation himself.

"You actually just want me to go, right?"

Livi didn't give a direct answer, but just raised her hand and made a "please" gesture.

How should I put it? It's mainly because it's so fun to tease this serious knight sister. People like Mava and Aenekos won't resist at all.

Just as an S will never be interested in an M, because the S's pleasure is to gain pleasure from bullying the other person and seeing the other person embarrassed.

No matter how you bully an M, she will just feel good. What's the point?

On the contrary, the more serious and rebellious a person is, the more likely he is to be teased.

"Humph……"

A cold snort came from under the helmet. Dullahan, who saw through Livi's "trick", didn't say much. He just calmly raised the magic gun and rushed towards the monster in front of him.

Although Dullahan was quite tall, and even taller when riding a skeleton warhorse, no matter how tall he was, he was completely dwarfed by the monster in front of him that could carry a mountain.

However, it was clearly not proportional in size, but when Dullahan approached the monster step by step, the monster was obviously moved.

The monster was so huge that just the slightest movement from it could trigger a series of chain reactions.

For example, just a casual step can cause a violent earthquake, and a slight movement of the body can cause a disaster like a landslide.

It is a monster that can trigger a series of disasters even if it just "exists here". It is a so-called "living natural disaster"!

The fact that such an existence can actually move an independent individual speaks volumes.

The monster carrying the hill slowly raised one of its claws. Immediately, a layer of hazy water vapor gathered on the huge crab claw.

The next second, the turbulent water flow was accompanied by a deafening roar, and the crab claws, wrapped with thousands of fierce water knives, flew down in the direction of Dullahan.

Dullahan stood still on his skeleton horse, holding the magic spear in front of him, and quickly transformed it into a long bow...

...Dullahan pulled the bow without an arrow to its full string. On the tight bowstring, a little light condensed into a shining arrow, which was aimed at the monster over there.

"Thank you for your care last time. This time... please leave your life for me!"

Chapter 89: Unreachable Skills

Dullahan raised his hand and shot an arrow. The arrow exploded midway and turned into countless arrows flying in the sky. They caught the falling water knives one by one, turned around and cleared them all.

However, this only cleared up the first trouble. The crab claws wrapped with water knives were the real threat.

Dulahan did not hesitate at all, and the bow in his hand turned into a spear with a raise of his hand.

Different from the knight's spear she usually used, the one she used this time was a thinner javelin. The javelin flew out of her hand and turned into a stream of light, hitting one of the giant rock crab's long leg.

Considering the opponent's size, it was just a leg, which looked like a towering rock pillar in the eyes of ordinary people. In terms of size, the visual effect of this shot was similar to being bitten by a mosquito.

However, when the blow hit, the long leg was bent, causing the monster's body to instantly lose balance.

Although the monster was able to maintain its balance with its eight long legs, it was still obviously top-heavy.

As the shot hit the target, its body lost balance, and the crab claws that were supposed to fly down were deflected.

Dullahan stretched out his hand and caught the javelin that flew back to him, and with a flick of his hand, it turned into a giant sword as big as a door panel.

With the giant sword in hand, Dulahan did not hesitate at all and jumped up from the back of the skeleton warhorse. The giant sword in his hand instantly radiated a thousand layers of sharpness...

...The magic sword that can strike thousands of times in this instant was a move that he learned and honed during the battles with a group of monsters in this Eastern Territory!

Last time, she used the magic sword with a thousand strikes in an instant to seize the opportunity to win from the giant rock crab, but ultimately failed to stop the opponent.

This time, it's different...

In an instant, the magic sword with a thousand strikes was launched, and the giant rock crab on the opposite side had obviously recognized this move...

...Although monsters basically have no intelligence, they still have instincts. At least, they can still clearly remember this unique skill that almost took their life.

A layer of hazy water vapor filled its surroundings again. The moist water vapor distorted the light like countless lenses of different sizes, making the huge monster blurry in an instant.

Shrouded in this mist that looks like a mirage, attacks can easily deviate.

Although it is difficult to miss the opponent's body even if it is off by a few points due to its large size, the giant rock crab can regenerate all its parts except for the "core" protected by the shell.

On top of its shell that protects its vulnerable parts, it also carries a whole mountain to share the damage. Although the target is large enough, most of the damage is not fatal.

In other words, this thing has a thick health bar and high armor, and its body is large enough so its own damage is also high enough. As long as it withstands a round of attacks from the opponent, even if it cannot defeat the opponent in its counterattack, it can still inflict heavy damage.

The point is to trade injuries for injuries, which is a more disadvantageous strategy for the opponent anyway...

Dullahan fell into this tactic last time, so this time, when she saw it again, she immediately laughed.

"Do you think you can make me trip over a stone twice with the same move?"

While asking this question, the sword in Dullahan's hand suddenly turned, and the originally sharp edge began to swerve. As a round of winding sword lights connected from beginning to end, the infinite cycle of Ouroboros revealed its edge!

As mentioned before, Dullahan's moves had long been practiced to the point where he no longer needed to stick to a specific "form". They could be performed with a gun, and naturally, with a sword as well.

Moreover, this move was originally derived from sword skills, but when she integrated the warhorse to perform the sword-horse-in-one posture, she was better at coordinating with the lance to launch attacks.

The infinitely looping magic sword... one "circle" after another was nested layer by layer, directly overlapping and expanding, quickly expanding from the area around Dullahan to a point large enough to affect the giant rock crab.

"Come on, this time... I won't let you escape again!"

Countless circles were connected together, like a giant snake biting its own tail, moving along the sword edge, all the way towards the body of the giant rock crab carrying the hill on its back.

"……cut!"

As soon as the word came out, the magic sword in Dulahan's hand burst out with thousands of sword lights. The next second, everything stopped. Dulahan's body fell and was steadily caught by the skeleton warhorse waiting on the side. He turned around and left a handsome back view to the giant rock crab.

As the skeleton warhorse took a step forward, the giant rock crab's body shook, and its eight legs quickly separated from its body one after another.

Immediately afterwards, the shell on the body carrying the hill shattered layer by layer, and with a loud bang, the mountain collapsed and the shell exploded, splitting it in half from the middle.

The moment Dullahan rode back to Livi's side, the monster's body also fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust and air waves.

"Oh, this is amazing~"

Livy gave the compliment without hesitation, and this time Dullahan did not hear any sarcasm in her words. It seemed that Livy was really praising her for the quickness of her sword.

pity……

"...I still can't reach that brilliance. This level is far from enough."

Dullahan was very satisfied with his special move, but...

She could not forget Livi's attack, which seemed to be understated but was actually completely beyond her cognition. That was truly extraordinary. After seeing that ultimate attack, she once again questioned her own moves. Was that really the perfect skill she had imagined?

Livi opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, no words came out.

After all, there is more than one path to the extraordinary realm. Livi and Dullahan take different paths. Among the mind, body and skills, Livi pays more attention to the "body", that is, pure strength, while Dullahan obviously focuses more on the "skills"...

...Of course, to truly reach the extraordinary, the other two must also be completed, but there will always be an emphasis among the three, and a higher level is required to perfectly balance the three.

Moreover, now that he is only "one step away" from becoming extraordinary, he can only rely on himself to break through the last shackles.

If you cannot understand it on your own and instead rely on teaching from others, you will most likely stop here and never have the chance to go any further.

So Livi wisely chose to keep her mouth shut, and her own understanding of the extraordinary realm could not be said to be very profound.

Now, the biggest trouble in the East has been dealt with, and just when Livi was about to call for people to collect the bodies, Aenekos' voice came again.

"Wait a minute, Lady Livi, it looks like a tunnel has been dug here!"

"what?"

Chapter 90: There is an unexpected gain~

"Authentic? Is it natural?"

"No, it looks artificial, and..."

There was surprise in Aenekos' tone, and Livy immediately became interested.

The cause was that the moment the giant rock crab fell to the ground, its huge body smashed the ground and caused a large collapse. At this moment, it was not the entrance to the tunnel. It was probably that the giant rock crab just happened to hit the load-bearing structure above the tunnel, causing it to collapse and revealing part of the tunnel.

Livi came to the collapsed hole, which was the broken shell of the giant rock crab, like a sharp blade inserted straight into the ground. As the position of the shell collapsed, a hole appeared. Through the broken hole, she could clearly see that there was indeed a tunnel underneath.

Livi rolled a small fireball and threw it in. With the light of the burning fire, Livi could clearly see what was inside the tunnel.

It turned out to be a tunnel with obvious signs of human construction. Even on both sides of the tunnel, you could see lighting lamps that had completely lost their function.

If this happened on the main continent, it wouldn't be a big problem. After all, it's an area where humans live, and it's hard to imagine anyone building fortifications underground for any purpose.

When the demons invaded, many villages and towns built large underground fortifications to defend themselves. Livi also introduced the useful concept of "tunnel" and built many underground fortifications on the border.

Even now at the border of the empire, there are still many remnants of fortifications left over from that time, and there are even some parts that were not put to use after they were completed. It is estimated that they have now been transformed by the locals for other uses.

Anyway, this is not uncommon in the main continent, but this is in the Demon Realm.

The only two things Livi saw in the Demon Realm that were vaguely related to civilized buildings were the Demon King's Castle in the north and the Death Tower in the south. The former might not even have been built by the demons themselves.

After all, the safety mirrors of the Demon King's Castle and the Imperial Palace were flipped. You said that this thing was made by the demons themselves. Even Livi couldn't believe it could be such a coincidence.

In short, the level of civilization of the demons... digging a hole in the ground as a nest is considered very constructive, not to mention this kind of large-scale underground fortification.

What's more, this is the Eastern Territory...

"...Has the Eastern Territory ever been dominated by any powerful demons?"

Livi was naturally not familiar with the history of the Demon Realm, so she immediately asked the locals nearby, but Dullahan rejected her question with certainty.

"I haven't heard of it. At least as far as I know... the Eastern Territory has always been the territory of monsters..."

In other words, the Eastern Territory has never even been ruled by any decent demon clan, let alone any demon clan that has ever built underground fortifications here.

As for saying it was built by monsters...

...It is true that some mutated monsters similar to bees and ants can build large nests of considerable size, but this cannot explain those few lights.

Considering the technological level of the demons, this thing is obviously beyond their capabilities.

And it’s not necessarily a technical limitation, the biggest problem is still resource limitations…

"Go down and have a look..."

Livi didn't expect that she would have such an unexpected gain during her hunting trip to the East Territory.

She immediately called for someone to go down and take a look, but before going down, she still looked around.

"…Mava, you and Anekos take the people to clean up the bodies of the giant rock crabs, and also pick up the direclaw wolves that were knocked down earlier. Dullahan, you come with me."

Although it is not known whether this tunnel is safe or not, it is enough to have Livi and Dullahan as companions.

If these two people can't handle it, others going down will just cause trouble.

"Oh, I see..."

Mava actually wanted to go down with Livi. She was not curious about what was down there, she just simply wanted to follow Livi.

However, she was also very clear that with Star and Dullahan joining the team, the significance of her existence had greatly decreased. To put it bluntly, as Livi's first subordinate, Livi probably just used her for training at first.
