Chapter 542 - Crow People
Klein frowned slightly. Could it be that the subordinates of Demon King Saxe were all special humans that had evolved?
Not only did they look no different from crows, they even had wings.
To be able to share the high alt.i.tude in the air was indeed a very extravagant thing for them. They were currently unable to do so.
However, not only could everyone in the crow team spread their wings and fly high, they also had the unique acuity of a crow. They quickly discovered Klein and James.
.
At that moment, the crow people had already surrounded them. One of them held a wooden cane in his hand, and there was a scarlet gemstone inlaid on it.
Klein could tell at a glance that the gemstone was identical to the ones in the Iron-Armored Puppets" chests. They were all legendary energy gemstones.
Just how many gemstones had Demon King Saxe synthesized? Even an ordinary subordinate could have one?
The other party pointed at the two of them with the gemstone. "Who are you? Why did you find this place? Do you know whose territory this is?"
Klein sighed lightly. Since he had been discovered by the other party, there was no need to hide it. He could reveal his ident.i.ty.
Klein took two steps forward. "...Of course I know whose territory this is. Demon King Saxe? I"m here for him! You can tell him that a person named Klein came to him first and asked him to release the innocent girl!"
Upon hearing Klein"s name, the crow man seemed to be stunned. It was obvious that he had heard of this name before.
It was obvious that Klein"s heroic feat had already spread to this place.
Not only did he kill the most powerful general under Demon King Saxe"s command, but he also ended up without a corpse.
It seemed like these people were still a little afraid of Klein.
The crow man"s alertness increased once again. There was already a short crow soaring into the air, as though he was sending a message to Demon King Saxe.
James blinked. It seemed like they wouldn"t be able to leave if they wanted to this time.
"What"s the situation now? The two of us can"t just surrender, right?"
Of course not. Although they could indeed find Demon King Saxe"s headquarters by following these people, it would be a loss of face if they were to bring them back.
Seeing the few of them surrounding them as though they were outflanking them without any intention of taking action, Klein and James decided to strike first!
The fire-type magic tentacle Fire Dragon soared into the sky.
For some reason, ever since the battle with the Fire Dragon, Klein"s fire-type magic abilities had increased greatly.
It seemed to have absorbed most of the Fire Dragon"s abilities and turned them into his own.
The true fire soared into the sky and released a shocking amount of heat!
The few crows didn"t expect that the other party would attack first. Their first reaction was to quickly dodge.
There was no one in this world who wasn"t afraid of the power of true fire. These crow men were just small fries and didn"t have any powerful abilities.
They used all their skill points to fly in the air.
Klein could also tell that they didn"t actually grow wings. Instead, they relied on the capes they wore to fly.
These capes were probably specially made. There were golden threads wrapped around them to ensure that they had sufficient energy to fly in the air.
As long as the cloaks they wore were burned, they would never be able to fly.
These people had lost their wings, and they were no different from ordinary people.
At this moment, some of the crow men"s cloaks had been contaminated by the flames. They began to roar loudly and beat incessantly in an attempt to extinguish the flames.
Klein realized that even if they were rolling on the ground, the true flames wouldn"t be extinguished smoothly!
The crow men panicked when they saw this. They hurriedly instructed their subordinates to extinguish the fire in an orderly manner.
Although there was indeed a small river nearby, the crow men realized that the true fire couldn"t be extinguished with water!
In the end, they could only burn all their equipment..
The crow men"s leader looked at Klein with a shocked gaze. The arrogant aura from before instantly vanished.
"What kind of ghost fire is this? It"s actually so powerful! Quickly extinguish it, or I"ll be impolite to you!"
Klein shrugged his shoulders. At this point, the leader was still acting like an official.
Klein wanted to see how impolite he was.
Klein said, "I"m sorry. I might not be able to extinguish the flames I released myself. I can only continue burning!"
The crow leader seemed to be infuriated. He waved the scepter in his hand and attacked Klein.
The scepter was indeed very powerful. Klein had seen the power of the red energy gem before.
The leader"s ability was indeed above that of the crows. He cultivated lightning-type spells.
Even with the mask on, Klein could sense the hideous expression on the crow man"s face.
The veins on his hand bulged as he gripped the crimson gem tightly.
Suddenly, a layer of lightning appeared around the gem, producing a hissing sound.
James was taken aback and couldn"t help but take two steps back.
He knew a thing or two about lightning magic.
After a moment of silence, James said, "Klein, be careful. This thing is very powerful. How can you be electrocuted if you touch it!"
Furthermore, this crow was the leader"s lightning-type spell. It seemed to have been cultivated to a certain level, and at the instant it was activated, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. It could only strike a very large bolt of lightning in the air.
Even Klein was shocked.
Klein quietly sat up and took notice. This fellow was able to stand alone in the world with his lightning-type spell.
He had actually put on a mask and turned into a crow that couldn"t be seen. It was truly regrettable.
Klein was unmoved. He had his own method of dealing with lightning-type magic!
The so-called lightning was actually an attack that was conducted through an electrical system, and the crow man could transmit lightning through the air.
As long as there was a non-vacuum state, his lightning spots could extend to any place.
Being struck would result in serious injuries. Klein and James were very careful.
The crow man waved the scepter in his hand and drew two circles in the air.
A huge bolt of lightning struck at the two of them through the medium of air.
It had the aura of someone holding a kitchen knife and slashing at an electric wire. Sparks and lightning flashed along the way.
The lightning spell using air as a medium was indeed powerful. Klein and James were taken aback and quickly dodged it.
It happened to hit a few large trees behind them. With two rumbling sounds, not only the trees, but even the boulders beside them were shattered.
The tree trunk became charred and a leaf fell off.
James was somewhat shocked and widened his eyes in disbelief.
Holy c.r.a.p, this person"s lightning magic had already been cultivated to a certain level. It was at least at tier 8!
In this world, magic above tier 8 was already very rare. Other than Klein, not many people had it.
