Fight while retreating

"Lightning beam!"

Black lightning twisted and penetrated seven or eight demons. When the deafening thunder disappeared, an unpleasant burnt smell was left behind.

The highest energy resistance of most demons is fire resistance, so compared to fireball, lightning beam can do more damage.

But that's really just one thing.

Although Pei Renli can use magic to penetrate the demon's spell resistance, energy resistance is really powerless.

Several Babu demons swayed, and their postures of running toward the crowd quickly faded.

Upon seeing this, Pei Renli immediately took out the scroll and tore it into pieces:

"Dimensional Anchor!"

As the crisp sound of locking was heard in the air, the Babu Demon, whose body had faded, returned to its original position, and accelerated towards the direction of the few people in anger.

The biggest threat to the Babu Demons is their short-distance teleportation ability, which can be considered an old opponent.

If there was only Pei Renli himself, of course there was no need to use a dimensional anchor. After all, whatever operations the Babu Demon would use were already expected. Even if he teleported over, there would be corresponding methods, so there was no need to panic at all.

But this time, Miaojie had to be protected, so she couldn't move around casually. So she had to use a dimensional anchor to prevent the Babu Demon from suddenly approaching.

Since the dimensional anchor was used to stop the Babu Demon, other demons took the opportunity to rush closer. Pei Renli's original idea of ​​throwing a spider web or greasy spell to contain it could only be given up temporarily. He squatted on the ground and slapped his palms.

Touched the ground.

"Earth Shield!"

Under the influence of the magical power of the Conjuration School, the stone slabs paved in the central square of the town stood up one after another, as if a low wall was pulled up from the ground out of thin air, blocking the demon's charging route, causing them to crash into it.

Of course, this level of magic could not stop the demon. Almost two or three seconds later, demons were seen smashing open the wall with weapons, and more demons tried to bypass it from the left and right sides.

Pei Renli didn't think the earth shield could block it. All he wanted was the two or three seconds he could gain and the effect of the earth shield blocking the demon's vision.

When the demon smashed through the wall and was about to continue rushing forward, Pei Renli spread his fingers towards them:

"Colorful jet!"

The swirling colorful spiritual light is released from the palm of the hand, and suddenly the demons who are standing upright are stunned or frightened. This should buy about 6 to 10 seconds.

As mentioned just now, there are many demons bypassing the earth shield from the left and right sides, and the colorful jet has a cone-shaped attack surface, so the demons bypassing it will not be affected by the spell.

At this time, they were already close to a distance of about five or six meters, and they could rush forward in a flash while charging.

Pei Renli finally gave himself the strength of a bull, raised his staff and gave the spear that was stabbed from the side a stick.

The tip of the spear was crooked, and Hill Demon, who was charging with the spear in his hand, simply ignored the problem with the spear and directly lowered his head and pointed it at Pei Renli with the horns on his head that were similar to those of a goat.

——Bang!

A barrier that was quickly disappearing disappeared into the air, and Hill Demon was knocked upside down by the force of the blowback.

There is indeed something wrong with this guy's IQ. Pei Renli's body is full of defense and buff spells, but it actually dares to charge...

However, the anti-shock barrier could only be effective once, and more demons ignored the Hill Demon that was on its back and surrounded it from the left and right sides.

Pei Renli swung his staff and performed a crazy magic stick technique...

In fact, it's just a fool's errand.

This action seemed too childish to the devil. At first, he doubted whether it was a trick. After a quick look and confirming that Pei Renli was just flailing randomly, the devil rushed over with the intention of engaging in close combat.

Pei Renli, on the other hand, threw away the staff and looked as if he was giving up.

"Stick dance!"

The staff thrown in the air suddenly turned around, and with one move it struck Huashan with a bang, knocking the Babu Demon trying to charge to the ground.

Pei Renli also stepped forward with the same lunge, drew out the dagger named Blood Drinker from his waist and struck at the other demons who were avoiding the stick dance technique.

The small wound caused by the dagger should have been insignificant to the devil, but the blood flowed out as if it had been squeezed out, just like drawing blood with a water pump.

The effect of this dagger called Blood Drinker is quite vicious. Every hit is equivalent to being subjected to necromancy bloodletting. Even demons have no resistance to necromancy.

The demon surrounding him from the other side planned to approach from behind while Pei Renli was wielding his dagger. It almost succeeded, but Pei Renli suddenly took off the imaginary crossbow on his waist as if he had eyes on the back of his head.

Without looking back, he pulled the trigger with his backhand.

The crossbow arrow is covered with a layer of magical aura. People with magic experience can tell that it is similar to the aura of a strong strike ray. The difference is that this time it is attached to the crossbow arrow.

The virtual bullet crossbow can pour spells up to E level into it. The speed and penetration of the crossbow arrows blessed with strong attack rays are greatly enhanced, and the aiming of the virtual bullet crossbow does not rely on experience and skills, but depends on the use.

The caster's spellcasting ability is high or low, so even Pei Renli, who is not good at using crossbows, can easily hit the target with it.

So the demon who had just raised his weapon behind Pei Renli and planned to attack from both sides was instantly pierced by a crossbow arrow in the neck. It held its throat and took a few steps back before being knocked over by more demons coming up.

At this time, Pei Renli jumped back to his original position, and the staff controlled by the stick dance rotated like a windmill, preventing the devil from approaching at will.

To deal with different numbers and types of enemies, different formations are required.

This point is very important for adventurers. Of course, the teachers at the school took the trouble to explain it over and over many times, just to strengthen their memory.

What determines the formation is always demand rather than rigid theory, so when necessary, even a master like Pei Renli has to be on the front line. For example, when Pei Renli went on a mission for the first time and was surrounded by goblins in the forest,

Still have to use a dagger to cut at the front line.

The painting style of Perrenli holding a dagger in one hand and a crossbow in front of him and waving a staff in front of him feels a bit too Gandalf-like.

Since there were only four who could fight, and Miaojie needed to be protected in the middle, everyone adopted a stable triangle formation.

Perrenli resisted the most pressure head-on, with Anna and Camille on the left and right, Cosette at the end, and Miaojie in the middle.

The reason why the mage Peri Renli is allowed to resist the front is because neither Anna nor Camille have enough means to adapt to changes.

Anna's Elven Curved Blade can kill a demon in one blow, but since the demons are basically long-handled weapons, if she resists the line, she has to rush in and fight, and the formation will break up.

Camille is also similar, I should say not as good as Anna.

The long sword he bought broke again, and now it is only as long as a dagger. Although it was blessed by Pei Renli as a 'demonized weapon', it cannot ignore the damage resistance of demons. The most powerful weapon, the Evil Slayer, is used again.

The number of times is limited, so now I can only rely on precise movement and small-scale left and right jumps to entangle the devil.

Normally, Pei Renli's position should be filled by an experienced heavily armored warrior, or a priest like Michelle Camilla who holds a long-handled weapon and wears heavy armor, who can be near or far and is particularly resistant to beatings.

However, Cosette is not a strong shaman, so Pei Renli can only feel relieved if he takes the lead.

"Back off, we're almost there!"

It is true that there is a formation, but there is no need to fight with the demons here. It would be too stupid to deliberately be surrounded by demons in the square.

While fighting, everyone is actually moving towards the edge. If their backs are against the wall, the area that needs to be defended will be greatly reduced, and the pressure will be greatly reduced.

The location Pei Renli chose was a large bungalow near the square. It was at least a masonry structure and looked much sturdier than most wooden houses.

Everyone maintained their formation and fought side by side. It should be said that they were very lucky that the people who surrounded them were all bad guys like Hill Demon, Babu Demon and Coward Demon. If things like Fire Demon appeared, it would not be good.

Both Perrenli and Anna had experience in dealing with demons, so they were able to handle it with ease. Camille had not fully mastered the ability of the paladin. When he was surrounded by demons, he was somewhat powerless. However, Perrenli would use the Burning Hand from time to time.

Cosette has also added all the buffs, so she can withstand it.

In Pei Renli's opinion, this level of danger is almost meaningless. At most, he has to protect Miaojie and is a little constrained. He can't fight as much as he wants. It feels easier than dealing with those group of professional killers or the dead soldiers sent by the nobles.

few.

And Miaojie should be the one who is most afraid.

This girl is a typical golden girl, there is no need for her to face the devil.

Not all princesses are like Sally and rush out excitedly to show off their martial virtues when they hear there is a demon. Miaojie is obviously the normal situation.

She followed Cosette's footsteps, looking around like a frightened rabbit, because there were demons in front, back, left and right, which made her very panicked.

Especially when it was unknown whether it was Camille or Anna who was not paying attention when wielding the weapon, and the blood on the sharp blade spread all over Miaojie, she didn't even dare to wipe it.

It seemed that he was quite frightened.

They were surrounded as soon as they entered the square. They were not far from the edge. They fought and retreated along the way and soon had their backs against the wall.

"Cosette goes up first, then Miaojie."

It's good to have your back against the wall, but it's better to be on the roof and look down.

Pei Renli fired a deafening shattering sound wave, temporarily forcing the demon back.

Cosette, who had been protecting Miaojie, immediately activated her ability to transform into a beast. She looked like a miniature version of a werewolf. She stepped on the corner of the wall and jumped onto the roof with two swishes. She turned back and hung a rope to pull Miaojie.

Go up.

The remaining three people continued to retreat and narrowed the defensive circle.

"Sharp Fang Spin!"

The noble stance's damage increased again. The demons dared to confront the fireball technique head-on, but they did not dare to engage in a head-on collision with the spinning stance, and they all turned sideways to avoid it.

This bought Camille time, and she immediately turned around, jumped hard, grabbed Cosette's hanging hand, and followed her up to the roof.

As for the roof of a large bungalow, it was of course impossible to prevent Anna, a half-elf with tree elf blood, from climbing up. She stepped on the wall and jumped back, her whole body holding on to the eaves as if it was weightless. She was caught by Cosette and Kate.
