Chapter 64: The Demon Vanguard Team Arrivals (Part 4)
Pork Rib Boss estimated the number of approaching demons and found that it matched with what Father Barry had told them.
Just as he was about to order an attack, he noticed that the demon race's advance team had stopped just outside the priests' attack range.
The demon race's every move caught the attention of the town residents, who began to shout, "Why did they stop? Weren't they supposed to be mindless?"
Father Barry was also a little bit nervous.
He turned around and saw Hanjun giving him a calm look, signaling him to let the players handle it.
The demons may be said to be mindless, but that doesn't mean they don't have any brains.
When they saw Ulon Town surrounded by stone walls, they were stunned for a moment, trying to figure out what was going on.
Unfortunately, their intelligence was too low to understand what was happening, and their minds went blank.
The two sides stared at each other for a few minutes.
Pork Rib Boss seemed to realize something and said to the players, "They don't know what we're doing yet, and that's a good thing."
After thinking for a long time, the confused demons finally realized that they shouldn't be stopping to think about these pointless things—they should be completing the task their master gave them.
The demons finally started moving, and their large size made them incredibly intimidating.
As they got close to the priests' attack range, Pork Rib Boss quickly shouted, "Priests, use your skills!"
The Radiant Arrow spell uses a lot of mana, so the eight players formed two small groups.
Each group had four players, and after casting a spell once, they would rest while the other group took their place.
By casting spells in turns like this, they could avoid wasting any mana and be ready for a long battle.
Light-type magic was indeed super effective against the demon race.
When they were hit by Radiant Arrows, the demons lost half of their health instantly, and other players below followed up with their melee attacks, slowly wearing down the demons' health.
They had also learned three basic spells.
Under Pork Rib Boss's guidance, two players focused on casting Glimmering Glow and Serene Restoration spells, while the others watched their movements.
If any player was attacked by a demon, they would retreat to a safe spot for a teammate to heal them.
This strategy worked well at first.
The demons were caught off guard, and Pork Rib Boss led the team to kill five demons.
Once the demons realized the biggest threat came from the players on the stone wall that was using Radiant Arrows, they noticed that this magic was the one they hated the most.
Sensing danger, they pushed aside the nearby players and leaped toward the stone wall.
The players on the wall were startled by the demons who were rushing toward them.
Seeing the demons' massive bodies, they froze in fear.
At the critical moment, Hanjun patted Snowball, who immediately understood.
