Traveling through the second dimension, the joy system encourages me to laugh heartily!

The two guards loudly reported the results of the investigation.

It was approaching dusk and the sky was gradually getting darker. If you didn't pay attention, those thin wires would not be easy to find.

As the trap was discovered, a huge fireball flew towards the carriage - this was the fire magic [Pyroblast].

The wooden carriage that Maya and Mary are riding in will be burned to ashes in an instant once it is hit by [Fire Blast].

Chen Ming, who was watching the battle through the surveillance footage, slightly revised his evaluation of the assassins - those people were probably direct descendants of the great nobles, not collateral branches. Unless they were talented and received elite education since childhood, they would not be able to use such magic.

Of course, he did not stand idly by. He directly [teleported] to the scene and materialized an alloy wall to block the carriage.

Then he returned to the master bedroom through [teleportation].

Because Maho was still running, Chen Ming didn't immediately deal with the assassin. It would take about five seconds to run from Talduo and Maho's bedroom to the master bedroom. Only three seconds had passed, and Chen Ming could already hear footsteps outside the door...

Although [Pyroblast] was extremely powerful and the temperature was extremely high, it ultimately failed to penetrate the alloy wall and dissipated and disappeared.

Seeing this, the three attackers no longer hid and rushed out from the darkness.

Two of them held long swords, while the third held a magic wand and chanted from behind.

This configuration is very reasonable, with both front and rear rows.

But they didn't have time, because Maho had already opened the door and walked into the master bedroom.

"Teacher, Sister Crimson said you have something to talk to me about?"

"Yes, your parents were attacked!"

As he spoke, Chen Ming pointed to the large screen on the wall.

Maho nervously looked in the direction of his finger and saw the two guards bravely rushing towards the enemy, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was suicide - after all, the guards were just strong ordinary people, while the enemy was a powerful being with magical powers, and their speed and strength were not at the same level at all.

The attacker raised his sword and swung it down with a ferocious smile on his face.

"Shuashuashua——"

However, the next moment, orange beams like lasers fell from the sky!

[Crimson] There are three types of drones deployed around the town: reconnaissance (A-101), precision attack (A-102), and wide-area bombing (A-103).

Those orange beams came from the small electromagnetic cannons installed on the twelve A-102s. The tungsten alloy warheads with a diameter of more than 30mm were accelerated to a terrifying speed of more than Mach 10, which could even penetrate flesh strengthened by magic.

The two attackers holding long swords had blood splattering on their shoulders and knees, and large holes appeared in their abdomens.

With Maho's eyes on, Chen Ming instructed Crimson, "Leave that mage alive..."

"as you wish!"

The holographic projection of [Crimson] smiled slightly, and the muzzle of the A-102 was immediately fine-tuned.

Upon seeing this, the attacker holding the magic wand stopped chanting and casting spells, turned around and ran away.

This was a wise choice - since the combined strength of the three of them could not hurt Maya and Mary in the carriage at all, it was even more impossible to succeed if they fought alone.

Unfortunately, [Crimson] would not give him a chance to escape.

An orange beam of light lit up again.

The tungsten alloy bullet pierced the magician's leg, causing him to fall to the ground while he was running away.

Chapter 124: Snake Demons

With the support of massive computing power, the shooting accuracy of [Crimson] is as accurate as if it has an auto-aim plug-in turned on.

Just as Chen Ming expected, the three people were masters with magical powers.

But for [Crimson], it is still not good enough.

At the same time, a vague figure appeared on the distant mountain peak, and the biting mountain wind blew up fine snow particles.

The observer code-named "Python" suppressed his breathing rate to four times per minute. The cold-proof clothing that was close to the ground was engraved with heating magic runes, almost blending into the gray-white basalt.

She gazed intently at the town, a faint golden halo floating in the depths of her right pupil—she used most of her magic power to strengthen her eyes, allowing her to clearly see the battle on the streets of the town ten kilometers away.

In this world, when an assassination is carried out by a team, observers are deployed behind the executors.

To confirm whether the assassination by the executioner was successful.

If the assassination fails, the observer needs to find an opportunity to collect the bodies and destroy the evidence after the battle.

Even if these cannot be done, at least the information must be brought back.

Just when the observers on the mountain confirmed that the assassination mission had failed,

Twelve A-103s (wide-area bomber type) with a wingspan of over fifty meters flew across the sky in an orderly formation, and the rotating bomb bays under their bellies spit out thousands of silver spheres like a honeycomb.

These metal balls, each 30 centimeters in diameter, unfolded their hexagonal scales as they fell. The built-in gravity deflectors made them appear to be controlled by an invisible hand, precisely covering the entire mountain.

When the first sphere was ten meters away from the ground, the built-in phase sensor was triggered, and the surface of the sphere instantly split into 320 superconducting alloy wires, each of which was jumping with a blue-purple electric arc of one million volts.

The hairs on the back of the observer's neck suddenly stood up, and his sixth sense, cultivated from years of walking on the edge of life and death, frantically sounded the alarm.

But it's too late!

The moment she turned over and jumped up, the violent electric current caused the snow on the entire mountain to begin to melt.

"What kind of magical tool is this?!"

The observer's screams were drowned out by the roar of electricity.

She used the remaining magic power to strengthen her body, bursting out with the speed of a cheetah.

But thousands of silver spheres have been deployed into an interception net with a diameter of hundreds of meters, preemptively blocking all escape angles.

When the third electric net was attached to her back, the observer finally realized that these magic tools were not randomly scattered at all, but could accurately predict her movements!

The electric fence that followed eventually crushed her heavily into the snow.

"Zizzizi..."

The leaping arcs of electricity weave a cruel cocoon of light around the observer!

"Uh……"

The observer suppressed a scream and made a muffled sound.

If an elephant came here, the electricity from these high-voltage power grids would be turned into charcoal.

However, Chen Ming estimated that the other party must be a being with magical powers and should be immortal, so he could be kept alive and tortured for information.

What if I get electrocuted?

Then it can only be considered that the other party is unlucky...

In the bedroom of the villa in the Mid-Levels Manor, Chen Ming stared at the twitching human figure on the big screen.

[Crimson] Analyzing the target's physiological data: "The target's surface temperature has dropped sharply to 12°C, and the heart rate remains at 300 bpm, exceeding the danger threshold. It is recommended that voltage output be stopped."

"Permitted, begin the interrogation."

The result was just as Chen Ming had imagined. The observer was shaking all over and unable to move due to the layers of high voltage electricity.

But he is indeed still alive.

The next moment, an A-101 (reconnaissance type) descended from the sky and hovered above the observer's head, and the cold voice of [Crimson] came out of the loudspeaker.

"If you want to live, answer a few questions honestly..."

[Crimson]'s interrogation had just begun when the observer's skin suddenly cracked, and a python emerged from it, biting towards A-101.

It turns out that this guy is not a human woman, but a python monster transformed into a human form?

[Crimson] controlled A-101 to dodge accurately.

Not only that, she also synchronously operated the A-102 (precision attack type) hovering in the air, shooting an orange beam that pierced the snake's body.

However, the pierced snake body splashed out black blood, which dripped onto the A-101, making a "hissing" corrosion sound.

The A-101's propeller was severely corroded and fell to the ground, while the injured python monster began to flee rapidly.

"I have to report to Lady Mina that the Church of Light is in danger, extremely dangerous..."

When the python monster and A-101 passed each other, A-101's microphone recorded the python monster's anxious words.

"Tsk!"

[Crimson] made a strange sound and then asked Chen Ming, "Target containment failed. Should we execute the annihilation procedure?"

"Kill him."

Chen Ming nodded. He originally wanted to capture the other party alive to obtain information.

But since the other party has exposed the identity of the python monster, Chen Ming, who is familiar with the original plot, naturally knows who is the mastermind behind the scenes - the snake demon [Mina]!

There are only eight demons in total, and the purpose of their actions is to resurrect the Demon King.

That’s right, the Demon King of this world was not born naturally, he had to be resurrected with the help of the demons!

The demons kill humans and collect their souls to breed the Fruit of Life.

Souls have different strengths. If it were the hero Epona, sacrificing her alone would be enough to revive the Demon King. However, if it were the souls of ordinary people, it would require about 50,000 souls.

Therefore, the larger the city, the more likely it is to be attacked because of its larger population.

Of course, one of the demons has been eliminated by Chen Ming using a hydrogen bomb, and there are only seven left.

The Snake Demon is one of the remaining seven demons.

A snake demon disguised as a human woman lived in the capital of the Alban Kingdom as the Countess of Granfelt.

The previous heir to the title of Earl Granfelt was a capable man, but his incompetent descendants squandered all his family property, and he is now a typical declining nobleman.

After the Snake Demon married into the family of Count Granfelt, Count Granfelt passed away just one month later. After that, she became the head of the family.

Her beauty and skills made her popular both inside and outside the territory, and she was recognized by everyone.

It can be said that the snake demons are the only demons that can adapt to human society.

As long as she wanted, she could kill all the people living in the capital of the Alban Kingdom at any time and gather the souls of 50,000 people to give birth to the fruit of life.

But she didn't do so, because she had no intention of resurrecting the Demon King for the time being - the reason was simple, the Snake Demon didn't want to die yet!

The condition for the Demon King to be resurrected is to offer at least three Life Fruits, and once he is resurrected, he will absorb all the demons. The demon who offers the most Life Fruits will become the main body of the Demon King.

If he doesn't want to disappear, he can only create more Life Fruits than other demons.

In other words, the demons are just nutrients for the Demon King. If the Demon King is resurrected, the demons will die.

They transport food and feed the people, and in the end they even have to sacrifice their own lives.

This is simply paid work. It is more cruel and ruthless than capitalists, and the degree of exploitation is more severe. Even capitalists would cry when seeing it!

The other demons were relatively simple-minded. They tried to create the fruit of life before their competitors succeeded, and they were determined to become the main body of the demon king themselves. The so-called demons would naturally pursue power, and those guys were just animals that followed their instincts.

But the snake demon was different. She had some doubts: Suppose, if she became the main body of the demon king, would she really still be herself?

To have other demons, as well as the fruits of life... tens of thousands of human souls injected into their bodies, the thought of this made the snake demons feel creepy.

She wanted to maintain her own identity and would never allow any other will to enter her body.

So in the original book, the snake demon clan would hold back other demon clans.

Furthermore, the Snake Demon found living among humans quite enjoyable. After all, her territory was already well on track, and she could afford any luxurious lifestyle she desired. Furthermore, she admired, respected, and was fascinated by human culture. She hoped to continue living her current life, enjoying all the culture and entertainment created by humans...

It is also because of this that Chen Ming, who is familiar with the original plot, did not eliminate the snake demon clan in advance.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that there are too many humans in the royal capital - after all, the only weapon Chen Ming currently has that can destroy the demons is the hydrogen bomb, and the snake demons have been living in the royal capital and enjoying themselves.

If this hydrogen bomb were to be dropped, it would probably give birth to the fruit of life on the spot, becoming the biggest contributor to the devil's resurrection.

Chen Ming won the MVP, and the demons all won without any effort!

In short, now that we know the identity of the mastermind, there is no need to keep him alive.

After receiving Chen Ming's order, [Crimson] immediately adjusted the trajectory of the A-102 in pursuit.

Twelve orange beams shot out simultaneously, piercing through the python monster's head.

The demons possess the core of the power of existence, so they cannot be killed no matter what.

But the monsters are just stronger ones, and it is easy to kill them by hitting their vital points.

Chapter 125: Tia Veconi

After dealing with the python monster, Chen Ming took Maho and [teleported] to the streets of the town.

Let Maho go and comfort her parents who had just been attacked.
