As a non-high-ranking demon, Kertia couldn't recall any relevant information about him for the time being.
"According to the 'Hero's Speedrun Manual,' the Brain Demon is a mid-level demon race that resembles a human in appearance and enjoys eating human brains. It last appeared thirty years ago," Ron recalled for her.
"The power of the brain demon interferes with the brain's thinking ability, causing people to do things that make them lose their minds. Many clergy members of the Holy See have been brainwashed by the brain demon and have done things that disgrace the reputation of the clergy."
Seeing that Ron was staring at her the whole time while explaining the Brain Demon's abilities, Keltia frowned: "What are you trying to say?"
Ron coughed lightly: "I want to say that the commander of the demons outside the city is the Brain Demon."
“How is this possible? How could a mid-level demon possibly command so many mid-level demons?” Kertia said.
The demon race has a stronger concept of hierarchy than humans; only the strongest of the superior races are worthy of commanding them, and races of the same rank will not submit to each other.
“It is indeed impossible for a mid-level demon to command another mid-level demon, but the Brain Demon race has been advanced to a high-level race through the experiments and improvements of the Great Demon Lilith,” Ron said.
You've advanced?
Kertia looked at Lawrence with a puzzled expression.
Lawrence shook his head; he hadn't heard of this either.
There hadn't been any battle reports about the Brain Demons from the front lines in Dawn City for a long time, and he didn't understand where Ron had gotten this information from.
Ron continued, "Brain demons of advanced higher races abandon their bodies and parasitize the brains of other demons. In addition to their original abilities, they gain the ability to parasitize brains and can freely transfer between the brains they have parasitized."
Upon hearing this, everyone frowned.
Freely moving within the brain? How can you kill someone like that?
"No need to worry, the advanced brain demon has a fatal flaw."
Ron said, "Because they have abandoned their original bodies, their energy consumption is very high. They can only act during the time when external spiritual energy is active, which is during the day. At night, they will enter a hibernation state to accumulate energy."
It turned out to be the case.
Everyone was stunned.
No wonder Ron chose to act at night.
“But finding a dormant brain demon among so many demons is still very difficult,” Lawrence said.
“That’s where strategy comes in,” Ron began to explain the operation: “We just need to attack the demons from different directions while the brain demons are dormant, luring them closer to the city. Then we can observe which direction the demons react the fastest. The brain demons will definitely be nearby, because mental communication works from near to far.”
"After that, we just need to return to the city and wait for two or three hours until it lowers its guard and falls into slumber again, then we can concentrate our firepower to launch a strong attack on that location."
"What if it moves?" Lawrence voiced his concern.
“No,” Ron said firmly. “First of all, it doesn’t know that its existence has been exposed. Secondly, the Brain Demon’s ability to move at night is greatly restricted and its energy consumption is enormous. Unless absolutely necessary, it will not move.”
"And our first surprise attack will only be seen by them as a clever trick to lure them into attacking the city, so that we can take the opportunity to dismantle them."
He is fighting a battle of information asymmetry.
Making its first public appearance in thirty years, the Brain Demon had no idea that someone already knew of its existence, so it couldn't possibly be cautious enough to relocate.
The only possibility that the Brain Demon could change its location is if there is a traitor among them.
Ron had already used his appraisal skill to check everyone present and found no demon spies.
After listening to Ron's analysis, everyone agreed that it made sense.
"And then?" Lawrence asked.
What should we do after a strong attack?
If the brain demon cannot be located quickly, it may still be able to move and escape.
“Then just leave it to me.” Ron didn’t say anything more.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's get started!"
The twenty teams dispersed on the city wall, each heading in the direction assigned by Ron.
Twenty teams, twenty directions, a meticulous division that allows for more precise pinpointing of the brain demon's exact location.
As the massive bells of Kassel rang out at dawn.
Twenty teams simultaneously leaped off the city wall and headed towards their respective assigned areas.
Before long, a loud commotion was heard in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, angry roars from the demons echoed from all directions.
Ron immediately had Kertia cast a sixth-tier spell, and then ran towards the city.
They would run a certain distance and then stop to harass the demons again, thus maintaining a safe distance and leading the demons closer to the city wall.
The demons roared incessantly, their attacks growing increasingly ferocious, but with the protection of three bodyguards, Ron was not in any life-threatening danger.
About 300 meters from the city wall, the enraged demons behind them stopped and did not continue to follow.
It looks like the brain demon has unleashed its power.
When Ron returned to the city, several squads had already returned.
"Who crushed the Star Crystal?" Ron asked.
Star Crystals are magical items that have been soaked in potions; if you crush one, the others will also shatter.
When assigning teams, Ron equipped each team with a Star Crystal and instructed that whoever's team reacted fastest to the ambush would crush the Star Crystal.
“It’s me.” A burly man wearing the Adventurers’ Guild’s steel badge on his shoulder stepped forward.
"Which direction is your team responsible for?" Ron asked, pulling out a map with the area marked.
"Here." The burly man pointed to a corner of the map southwest of Kassel: "After we attacked the demons, they stopped after chasing us for less than a hundred meters."
“Good job, you did a great job.” Ron nodded in satisfaction.
Half an hour later, all the teams involved in the ambush returned safely to the city. Many of them were injured, but none of them were seriously hurt.
After their injuries were treated, a long wait ensued.
To ensure everything went perfectly, Ron deliberately waited until the very last moment before nightfall before making his move.
"rush!"
At Ron's command, more than a hundred men rushed out of the city gate and divided up the area circled on Ron's map with clear division of labor.
This battle must be fought quickly, otherwise, once the entire demon race surrounds them, it won't be so easy for them to escape.
"Your Majesty Ron, please hurry!"
Don't rush me, I've found it.
Carrying everyone's hopes, Ron used Dewstep to quickly traverse the partitioned area.
A series of blue light screens flashed rapidly in his eyes.
No.
This is not it either.
this……
Name: Azatos
Race: Undead (Brain Demon)
Age: 134
[Level: LV.45]
……
"found it!"
Chapter 49 This Human Is Very Strange
The brain demon is very agitated right now.
Because a group of fearless humans came to attack them in the middle of the night, which was unheard of.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, it was surrounded while it was just taking a nap, and now this group of people seems to be looking for something.
"Damn humans, once I move out of this area, you're all doomed!"
The brain demon thought viciously. It had been mingling among the demons, intending to secretly move out of this area isolated by humans, but suddenly felt a sharp killing intent coming towards it.
Looking up, one could see streaks of black light blooming all around it, and in the blink of an eye, several knife wounds appeared on its body.
Damn it!
The brain demon frowned and cursed under its breath.
At first, it thought this was just another human ambush, and that the humans would leave once they had fought enough. But the moment Ron shouted "Found them!", the surrounding humans immediately swarmed in and attacked.
It then realized that this group of humans was clearly coming for it!
It couldn't understand when it had been targeted. It had hidden itself so well, and this was its first time appearing on the battlefield after advancing to a higher-ranking demon, yet it was still being watched.
When did humans become so terrifying?
Outnumbered.
Without any hesitation, the brain demon immediately transferred to the brain of another demon.
"Damn humans, remember this!"
It held a grudge in its heart.
They then planned to take advantage of the lull in the human attack on the undead to quickly leave this dangerous area.
Where do you want to go?
A cold voice suddenly came from behind.
Immediately afterwards, a long black blade pierced through its chest cavity.
The brain demon froze, lowered its head, and stared in astonishment at the long knife in its chest.
"How could this be..."
Ron swung the demon's corpse away with force.
He didn't stop, and continued searching among the demons.
