Amber Sword

The Long-Horned Demon quickly tilted its head to dodge Brand’s sword, reaching out to parry at the same time. But Brand let out a furious roar, and the Earth Sword in his hand was like a black flash; the blade suddenly disappeared from in front of the demon’s arm, and the next moment pierced the Long-Horned Demon’s shoulder.

With a loud bang, the demon was directly knocked back, crashing into its companion.

Brand immediately saw it climb back up, with a cut on its shoulder so deep the bone was visible, but other than that, it seemed unscathed. Demons have three hearts and four lungs, their bodily functions surpassing humans by far. Such a wound would be severe for a human, but for it, it didn’t even count as light.

Brand frowned and quickly retreated. By this time, the remaining demon had swiped at him, and at the last moment, he tilted his head to dodge, but his cheek was still inevitably cut by the wind pressure from the sharp blade, resulting in a stinging wound.

He lightly wiped it, and his face was covered in blood.

The bloody scent seemed to spread, making the three Long-Horned Demons restless. Brand licked his lips, knowing that the smell of blood would make demons uncontrollably excited, even high-level demons like the Long-Horned Demon couldn’t resist.

Demons in a frenzy state are more difficult to deal with than usual. At least it guaranteed that their thinking wouldn’t be dominated again by sanity, preventing them from turning back to trouble Antitina.

Brand retreated while cautiously calculating the situation. Everything was still under control, but there were still unstable factors. He gritted his teeth and decided to ignite the fire further, to eliminate future troubles completely.

"A shed-skinned lizard, is that all you got?" He taunted contemptuously.

This line, in fact, was a saying often used by Dark Elves of the Underground World to mock Long-Horned Demons. Since losing the Ashen Blade, Dark Elves and demons have long been irreconcilable foes, and their conversations are naturally not friendly.

If one were to rank the top ten taunts Long-Horned Demons hate the most, calling them shed-skinned lizards would definitely top the list. Although they do look like some kind of Dark Elf food.

As soon as Brand issued this taunt, the three Long-Horned Demons immediately let out venomous curses. They already wanted to deal with Brand first, and now they were even more relentless.

As the three demons charged forward, Brand naturally wouldn’t foolishly take them head-on. Instead, he used the terrain near the Teleportation Gate to retreat. In fact, the Long-Horned Demon’s speed was slightly faster than his, but sometimes being faster doesn’t guarantee catching up.

Especially when facing Brand, who was familiar with their habits, knowing from which direction they liked to intercept while turning. If this were in "Amber Sword," his superb ’Kite Skill’ showcased at this moment would definitely attract the attention of most players. Of course, that was before the game’s fourth update.

After all, players had thoroughly analyzed demons since then, and high-level infantry like Long-Horned Demons posed little challenge. Brand had even watched videos of level ten players kiting Long-Horned Demons; it was unknown whose master account was behind them. In fact, everything he was doing now was the crystallization of countless players’ wisdom.

However, reality and games are slightly different. Each of these differences manifested in Brand as a bloody wound. If not for his timely reactions, he’d have been torn to pieces multiple times by now.

Honestly, not to mention Destiny Cards, if he had any one of Frenzy, Wind Queen Nine Luminaries, or Flash Sword, he would confidently solo one Long-Horned Demon effortlessly. Even facing three, he would not be at a disadvantage.

But unfortunately, he had nothing now, and even his stamina was quickly entering a fatigued state. Fortunately, he still had the Unyielding Talent; otherwise, the negative effects of fatigue alone would be enough to bring him agony.

Brand circled the Teleportation Gate three times, getting clawed on the left arm and hit on the back, his entire body covered in blood. He tried retaliating a few times, but the Long-Horned Demon’s skin was simply too thick. Based on his calculations from the game, he might have only reduced a third of its health at most.

Moreover, demons have strong self-healing powers, and by now, it might have recovered substantially.
