Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 276 Divine Pattern Demon Clan
Superhuman strength magic.

By wrapping magic around the fist in a specific way, compressing it to a high degree, and then detonating it like dynamite, terrifying power is unleashed.

Frilian thought to herself that living long enough meant she'd seen all sorts of magic. No wonder Ian had twisted his magic into a pipe-like shape; it turned out he was doing this so he could launch a targeted attack immediately in the event of a sudden battle.

Melee mage? That's so cool! Although this is the first time Frilian has encountered magic that she has almost no desire to learn, since she can't imagine herself fighting with her fists, let alone learn this kind of magic.

“Ian, you’ve trained as a warrior, haven’t you?” she asked as they walked away from the forest. “That sprint and instantaneous combat reaction just now couldn’t be done by a pure mage.”

“That’s right.” Guan Yi nodded.

Are there really such strange magicians?

Frillian thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "I've actually been considering finding a warrior to lead the vanguard, so that Philon and I won't be caught off guard when we encounter enemies charging at us. Ian, how about officially joining our team and traveling with us? Of course, we'll definitely be fighting against demons quite often on our journey."

The sudden invitation surprised Philon, but after glancing at Guan Yi, she thought it was a good idea. After all, besides his amazing and reliable performance in the battle just now, Lord Ian was also a very shrewd magic merchant. If he joined, our economy would improve, right?
Me? Vanguard? Replace Shutark? That won't do. Guan Yi thought to herself, as the strongest warrior of the future, Shutark is also someone the demons want to get rid of as soon as possible. Back when Fu said he would come to protect Philon, the second generation invincible Yan Lu said that Shutark's side would be left to him.

Of course, there are also many young mages and warriors who will shine in the future, and they also need protection and attention. This first battle with the demons is like opening a blind box. No one knows whether they will get an opponent or how many opponents they will get.

But the three main characters, Frilian, Philon, and Shutark, are of course the most important. Only by putting them together can the human race concentrate its strength.

"Vanguard? No, I'm not a true warrior after all, and I still have many shortcomings. I suggest you find a real warrior to be your vanguard, Frilian," Guan Yi replied.

"But I would be happy to travel with you for a while, as long as you can help me find more demons to fight."

“Hmm, that’s true.” Frilian nodded and murmured, “We still need to go to Aize.”

“I may not be good at avant-garde magic, but I can be considered half a monk.” Guan Yi then added, “Besides superhuman strength magic, I am also skilled in healing magic. Except for removing curses, my magic can heal most injuries and poisons.”

"Huh? Healing magic?" Frilian exclaimed in surprise, "You're a mage who worships the goddess of faith?"

"No, it's self-taught medical skills."

“Lord Ian, you are amazing…” Philon exclaimed. “Lord Haita said that only monks who are devout to the goddess can be granted the power to heal others by the goddess.”

“Devotion? Forget about that wine-drinking monk Haita.” Frilian curled her lip. “But healing magic is indeed very rare. Ian, who is your teacher? He taught you some uncommon things. Oh well, even if you told me, I probably wouldn’t know.”

"Don't talk about Lady Haita like that, Lady Frilian," Philen reminded her.

"My teacher..."

The three chatted as they headed towards the location of the second demon. As they left the Misty Sea Forest, Guan Yi suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, Frilian, don't you feel... like there's a pair of eyes watching us from the shadows?"

"Hmm? Really..." Frillie looked around. "I don't feel anything. What about Philon?"

"Neither do I, Lady Frillien." "That's probably just my imagination."

Haven't the demons arrived yet? I've vaguely sensed Fu's aura twice in the past few days, but I still haven't detected the demons at all.

Logically speaking, when I changed Frilian and Philon's travel route, the demons should have reacted if they had paid even a little attention.

Either they really didn't come, or they're demons beyond my and Frilian's perception? Then it must be... a Divine Pattern Demon?
……

"You noticed me? Impossible."

Not long after the three of them left the Misty Sea Forest, the shadows of the leaves that were cast on the ground by the sunlight suddenly came to life, flowing like water, and finally coalescing into a human shape on the ground.

This was a man around 40 years old, with an ordinary appearance, the kind of face that would be hard to distinguish in a crowd, except for the dark red in his black eyes, which made him seem somewhat unusual.

His name is Calvin, and he is one of the demons who entered the Florian Secret Realm this time.

Just as Guan Yi had predicted, he was one of the Divine Pattern Demons who entered the secret realm this time!

His divine rune talent is 'concealment', a rule-based concealment. Like a chameleon, he can perfectly transform and become part of any environment he is in.

Shadows in the forest, moon in the water.

The clock on the tower, the carriage.

Flying mosquitoes, earthworms in the soil.

There's nothing he can't transform into, and when he's in transformed state, his aura completely changes to that of the transformed being. This is why he ranks among the top three assassins in the entire demon race.

"I have absolutely no recollection of that human explorer using the alias 'Ian,' so he's definitely not a human Divine Pattern Warrior. Although he can skillfully utilize the power of other worlds in this one, he's probably someone of some caliber—a Five-Pattern Warrior?"

However, unless one is a martial artist with divine runes, at this point in time, less than a year after the secret realm opened, they certainly wouldn't be able to acquire the power to see through my disguise.

What's even more troublesome is that guy Fu. If we hadn't kept an eye on Fu, he would have attacked Philon long before Guan Yi arrived.

“New blood always likes to cause trouble, attracting some difficult opponents, while they themselves hide away to cultivate.” He snorted: “Let’s give it a try. If it doesn’t work, there’s no need to fight to the death with human warriors here.”

Just then, the leaves above his head suddenly rustled, as if conveying some information through specific and peculiar rhythmic fluctuations.

"Ha, Ryan has finally found a target. I've been following him for over three months, and I'm getting a little tired of it."

He nodded slightly: "The enemies in the secret realm should be dealt with by those demons."

The Ruien he mentioned is another Divine Pattern Demon who entered the Confrontation Secret Realm this time!
