Please be my partner.

Lance and Gad stared at the scene in amazement. They didn't expect Mellen and Spike to be so reckless.

Lance said with some concern: "Boss Mellen, Boss Spike, is there any danger if he does this?"

Gad also hurriedly said, "Boss Mellen, you're not planning to take down the demon camp by continuously eliminating its manpower, are you? This plan won't work. Although the demons are chaotic, they are also intelligent. Even if you eliminate some of the demons in the demon camp, they will quickly send more demons to fill the gap."

"The seven days given to us in the mission should also be a form of protection. If we can't capture the demon camp in a short period of time, we should find a way to escape quickly. Otherwise, we may be blocked by the demon army transferred from other places."

Melen looked at Gad and asked with interest, "Did you come up with this?"

Gad said sheepishly, "After the team disbanded yesterday, I asked the seniors and great knights in the school for relevant information. I thought it might be useful."

Mellen smiled approvingly and praised: "You did a good job."

Then, he said, "Gade, there are thousands of tactics in this world, but do you know what the most powerful tactic is?"

"The strongest...tactic?" Ged shook his head blankly, not quite understanding what Mellen said.

Tactics refer to the methods of directing and conducting battles.

The tactics formulated will change all the time according to the strength of both sides, geographical advantages, weather and other factors. This is what is called the ever-changing state of war and the ever-changing shape of water.

So theoretically speaking, there is no such thing as a one-trick-all tactic, let alone the most powerful tactic.

Melen laughed and said, "The so-called strongest tactic is to always defeat the enemy with strength far superior to theirs! Under this tactic, any strategy is useless."

ten minutes……

twenty minutes……

thirty minutes……

Before they knew it, the number of demons killed by Spike had exceeded three hundred. The demons were all a little scared. Seeing this, Spike became breathless and looked like he wanted to escape.

"Roar!~"

A roar came from the demon camp, and then a purple demon walked out of the demon camp. It had strong limbs and huge, blade-like horns growing out of its body.

The surging aura revealed its identity as a third-level demon, one of the managers of the demon camp.

It charged towards Spike like a small mountain, and even some demons that could not dodge in time were smashed into pieces by it.

When it reached about fifty meters around Spike, it continued charging and used its signature ability... Soul Binding.

This is a soul-binding demon that is in the middle level of demons.

Soul Binding has the effect of enslaving the soul of a living being. The target needs to pass a high Willpower test. If the test fails, the living being will become a slave of the Soul Binding Demon. Even if the test succeeds, the living being will suffer a soul shock and become mentally confused for a short period of time.

But how strong is Spike's fighting spirit? It's as strong as iron!

Although it could not avoid the soul-binding rays, the soul-binding rays were directly shattered into pieces after hitting the golden fighting spirit, and the soul-binding demon also suffered a severe backlash.

Seeing the third-level Soul Binder turned into a rolling gourd due to the inertia of the charge, Spike subconsciously began to shine with golden light in his eyes and claws, but he quickly remembered Mellen's instructions, so the golden light dissipated again, and he just used ordinary attacks to cut some wounds on the Soul Binder.

“Oooooh!~”

The Soul Binder, having regained consciousness, became even angrier, not even considering why his signature ability had no effect.

Facing Spike's approach, the Soulbinder waved its arms like a muscular beast. Its horns exuded a sharp aura, sharper and tougher than many specially crafted extraordinary weapons. Even with Spike's defense, he would be wounded if hit and could not be completely immune.

Spike also roared continuously, occasionally inflicting wounds on the Soulbinder, and even showed a tendency to gradually gain the upper hand.

The Soulbinder is very insidious. He roars and commands the surrounding demons to besiege Spike. Since the soul binding cannot work on Spike, he targets the surrounding demons. Then some demons will be fearless and will defend the Soulbinder from the attack even at the cost of their own lives.

Gradually, Spike and the Soulbinder suffered more and more wounds, and there were fewer and fewer demons around to participate in the siege. Many demons had come to their senses and began to stay away from the battlefield between the two, and did not dare to get close even though the Soulbinder roared continuously.

At this moment, Spike's keen sense of smell allowed him to smell a foul odor, and he suddenly dodged to the side.

At the same time, the place where it was originally standing suddenly softened and turned into a large amount of mud, and these muds seemed to have consciousness, turning into two hands and grabbing towards Spike.

Spike in mid-air wrapped his claws with thick earth elements, directly tore the muddy hands into pieces, and then quickly disintegrated the earth elements.

As the earth element dissipated, the silt on it continued to wriggle, trying to spread towards Spike.

After Spike landed, he looked warily at the newly appeared enemy... the mud demon.

The mud demon is composed of a mass of smelly mud. Its shape is always changing, but the overall appearance is a half-melted humanoid. Similar to the soul-binding demon, it is also a medium-series demon.

An ooze can use its grab ability on creatures of any size. When it grabs a foe, it attempts to suffocate by smothering and entering the target's mouth and nose.

And there is another point, that is, the stench on the mud demon is already an extraordinary attack. Once they get close to you, even breathing will become difficult.

This is the second third-level demon in the demon camp.

Seeing the two main characters appear, a smile appeared on Melen's lips.

Except for some chaotic lunatics, most demons know how to seek benefits and avoid harm. Once Spike shows overwhelming strength, the entire demon camp will probably explode and all the demons will flee frantically.

Their team only had one dog and two people, and they could not hunt down many of the scattered demons.

At that time, although the task of defeating the demon camp will be completed, the score obtained will be reduced because too few demons were killed.

Therefore, Melen formulated this plan to show weakness to the enemy and lure them out of their hole.

It seems to be quite successful now.

Then, it’s time to use the strongest tactics.

Chapter 205: Mining

Melen smiled and said to Lance and Gad, "You can attack freely now. Kill as many demons as possible while protecting yourselves."

Lance said directly: "Okay, Boss Mellen!"

Ged hesitated for a moment and asked, "Boss Mellen, aren't you going to help Boss Spike?"

Ged naturally knew that Mellen was a beastmaster, and that he could train a powerful pet like Spike, which also indirectly demonstrated how powerful Mellen was.

Spike's situation doesn't seem to be good now, but Mellen shows no sign of taking action, which makes Gad very strange.

Melen said: "This is your test mission, I can't interfere casually."

Then he smiled again and said to Gad, who was still a little worried, "Don't worry, you will soon see how powerful Spike is."

Gad then nodded and went to hunt demons with Lance.

On the main battlefield, Spike looked at the mud demon that jumped out, and a cruel smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth. In order to lure this third-level demon out, he resisted the urge to tear the Soul-Binding Demon into pieces. He fought with it for such a long time, and in order to make it look realistic, he even suffered some injuries.

Specks of golden light gathered in his eyes, gradually forming irregular lightning patterns. His claws also turned golden due to the attachment of golden light. A fierce, terrifying, and brutal aura rose up, and the two third-level demons that were attacked showed different degrees of facial changes.

The Soul-Binding Demon was horrified and incredulous, while the Mud Demon's facial features were distorted and turned into a ball.

Sensing that something was wrong, the cunning mud demon immediately used his innate ability to teleport away through the mud on the ground.

Spike had fought in the space-time rifts so many times that he had memorized the abilities of all kinds of conventional demons. As soon as the mud demon was about to make a move, he understood the latter's idea.

Of course, Spike couldn't let the duck in his mouth escape. He raised his claws slightly, then pressed them down suddenly. The surging power of the earth swept through like a wave, directly solidifying the mud on the ground, and used the power of the earth to completely dispel the power of the mud demon.

As long as the mud demon comes into contact with liquid, it can use the ability to transfer liquid, which is equivalent to opening a portal. Of course, the limitation is that the starting point and end point of the portal must be the same connected liquid.

Therefore, mud demons usually dig mud tunnels underground on the battlefield for the purpose of attack or escape.

Spike's earth cover was equivalent to cutting off the medium through which the mud demon could use its abilities, and under the influence of the power of the earth, the mud demon could not create mud in a short period of time and connect to the mud channel it had created in advance underground.

A golden arc of electricity streaked across the void, and under the explosion of powerful force, Spike's body instantly disappeared from the spot.

The mud demon retreated quickly, throwing out balls of acidic mud in an attempt to restrain Spike's movements.

This mud has a binding effect. Life forms with too low physical fitness will be entangled and unable to move. Even if their physical fitness exceeds the binding limit and they can break free, they will still be attached to the mud and their movements will be slowed down to a certain extent.

But how could this slow attack method possibly hit Spike, whose speed was several times faster than before?

In just a moment, golden lightning flashed in front of the mud demon, leaving only a few golden claw marks in the void. The mud demon froze for a moment, and then exploded.

As a mud creature, the mud demon is immune to most physical attacks, but the surging fighting spirit contained in the golden claw marks directly annihilates most of the mud demon's spirit.

Ignoring the Mud Demon that was severely injured by the blow, Spike rushed straight towards the Soul Binder.

The Soul Binder was panicked and completely suppressed by Spike's fierce aura. He subconsciously used his strongest ability to bind the soul.

The result is naturally self-evident.

Compared to the last time when Spike only used fighting spirit for defense, this time the bound soul was not only shattered instantly, the golden fighting spirit even followed the connection and directly penetrated the spirit of the soul-binding demon.

When Spike arrived in front of the Soulbinder, the latter was still in a faint. The golden claws avoided the huge horns on the Soulbinder and directly scratched its neck, and a ferocious head soared into the sky.

At the last moment of death, the Soulbinder regained a bit of clarity. It glanced at Spike who left without looking back, and then its consciousness fell into darkness.

After getting rid of the Soul Binder, Spike turned to the Mud Demon that was trying to gather its body. Instead of rushing in for a close combat, it let out a "roar", and the endless power of the earth around it suddenly began to riot.

Spike waved his claws, and the power of the earth condensed into huge rocks and shot towards the mud demon.

"Boom!~Boom!~Boom!~"

The huge rocks fell and exploded, making the mud demon's breath weaker and weaker. At a certain moment, the mud demon could no longer maintain itself, and exploded like foam with a "puff" sound.

Suddenly, filth began to erode the earth and the stench spread in the air.

Spike quickly used the power of the earth to slow down the erosion of filth and stop the spread of the stench, while also retreating quickly.

Knowing that the Mud Demon would do this after his death, Spike was unwilling to engage in close combat with the other party, because it was too disgusting.

Not to mention Spike, even the [Dog of Corruption], which had already completed a new round of evolution, shook his head when he saw it.

It is said that a third-level Branded Knight was contaminated by the substances left behind by the dead Mud Demon. The filth and stench attached to his arms could not be removed, and even continued to spread, trying to corrode him into a new Mud Demon.

In the end, the third-level Branded Knight had no choice but to cut off his filthy arm and then use precious treasures to grow a new one.

Legend has it that the birth of mud demons is closely related to the filth discharged by a great being.

To put it in plain words, the mud demon may have been born from the "shit" of some great being!

If you think about it carefully, this is really a demon that retains its original flavor!!!

After some effort, we finally managed to minimize the residue left by the mud demon. Next, we need the natural power of the earth to slowly purify it.

After doing all this, Spike continued to hunt down the demons. [Body of the Earth] brought a substantial heavy pressure field, and the weaker demons were almost shattered at the touch. Even the second-level demons' mobility was greatly suppressed, which greatly improved Spike's killing efficiency.

At this time, the demons in the demon camp were in chaos. Most of them were fleeing like headless flies. A small number of them, because of the chaos, began to attack all living things they could see.

In this chaotic situation, Lance and Gad became more and more bold in their hunting.

Behind a hidden hillside farther away, four disguised knights looked at each other.

"What should we do now? This dog knight is too powerful. He can easily defeat two level three demons. We don't stand a chance at all."

"Indeed, the original plan was to take advantage of their attack on the demon camp to attract more powerful demons to interfere. No matter what plans the other party was preparing to launch, we would try our best to disrupt them. Now it seems that this is not going to work."

"Hey! At first I thought that the Dog Knight was just average, but I didn't expect him to actually lure out two Level 3 demons. He's probably afraid that showing off his power directly would scare them away, thus lowering his score."

The fourth knight said nothing, but turned and left quickly.

The other three knights showed some strange expressions at first, and then their expressions changed slightly. They also said no more and quickly left in different directions.

The four of them came from four different teams and had agreed in advance that they were here to cause trouble for Mellen and the others. It would be best if they could directly make the latter fail in their mission. Even if that was not possible, they would delay the time as much as possible to lower their scores.

But according to the current situation, the goal cannot be achieved. With the overwhelming strength shown by Spike, he must get the first place.

This means that there are only two spots left for the Heritage Knights, and the four teams represented by the four knights have resumed their relationship as competitors.

The fourth knight wanted to understand this, so he left without saying a word. He wanted to tell his captain the news as soon as possible, and his return would also be a help.

The other knights were not stupid either. After seeing the performance of the fourth knight, they immediately reacted and quickly dispersed.

When Spike gave his all, his killing efficiency was incomparable to his initial provocative attitude. In just over ten minutes, he killed thousands of demons.

This was achieved even though the demons were fleeing in all directions and Spike had to focus part of his energy on chasing them.

Lance and Gad are also second-level elite knights. In this situation, they have each hunted more than thirty demons, many of which are second-level.

Spike came to Mellen and, at the latter's signal, entered the mine of the demon camp. There were still many cowardly demons in the mine who were still concentrating on mining because they didn't know what was going on above.

Relying on the wide range of the power of the earth, Spike quickly cleared the interconnected mines. The weak cowards had no power to resist at all and would explode the moment they came into contact with the fluctuations of the earth's power.

After Spike returned, Mellen was satisfied and collected the black iron piled up in several huge warehouses around.

He looked around the dilapidated demon camp and said, "That's all Spike has accomplished. Can I take action next?"

Lance and Gad, who had just arrived, were a little confused when they heard Mellen's words, but they soon understood who the latter was talking to.

The Black Knight emerged from the shadows and said respectfully, "Yes, sir. Knight Spike's achievements have been recorded. You may attack as you please."

After a moment's hesitation, he added, "Please abide by the original agreement."

Mellen nodded casually, indicating that he understood.

He snapped his fingers lightly, and colorful light filled the air. Not far ahead, an invisible curtain was drawn open, revealing a dreamlike fairy tale world.
