Chapter 167 The Invisible Blade
Even demons seldom dared to insult the immense strength and simple-mindedness of a Giant Bull Demon. When they became enraged, even an Abyssal Lord found it difficult to calm such thick-skinned creatures, and most demons were an easy target for the Giant Bull Demon's aim. Fortunately for Eckmond, the largest part of him was his voice.
Thus, although it seemed extremely perilous, the task of the skull-head was not particularly difficult. The only problem was that Eckmond's creativity was nearly exhausted; several adjectives had been repeated numerous times by the group.
Nonetheless, the skull-head had successfully driven the powerful yet stupid demon into a complete frenzy, and no matter how desperately Ashap called to it with psychic signals, the Giant Bull Demon showed no response.
Although her opponent had only a longsword, the myriad Sword Shadows overwhelmed her four arms. The Human Knight's attacks were relentless like waves, and any slight gap in the Serpent Demon's defense was met by lightning-fast strikes of his longsword, creating gruesome wounds on the Serpent Demon's body.

Ashap finally realized something unusual about the weapon; the blade was excessively sharp, and it even seemed to contain some kind of chill that suppressed the healing of her wounds.
The Human Knight in front of her was more troublesome than she had anticipated. Under normal conditions, when she was in good shape and all her limbs were intact, he might not have been a problem, but now she couldn't handle him on her own.
The Serpent Demon began to defend with all her might while silently calling for help to arrive.@@@@
Many demons of Tanari have the ability to summon their kind. When a call for help is sent out, some random demons in the Multiverse receive the summon and can directly perceive the situation of the caller, deciding whether to answer the call.
Although this ability can summon powerful allies, most demons are reluctant to use it unless absolutely necessary because of the rules of the Bottomless Abyss, which mean that the caller owes a 'favor' to the summoned demon—a debt that must be sufficiently repaid, even if the other party is an enemy.
However, the more powerful the demon, the higher the probability that their call for help will be answered. The Serpent Demon, a rare leader among demons and a figure capable of rallying other demons, was not often refused the opportunity to owe a 'favor'.
To her surprise, not a single demon responded to her summons—none at all. Some beings reached out with their spiritual power, but they seemed to see something terrifying and immediately fell silent.
Agonizing pain shot through her, and inside, the Serpent Demon cursed Lancelot with the most venomous words, but her plan was still successful. Seizing the moment her wrists were severed, the Demon triggered Teleportation Technique again, leaving behind only two palms still clutching the sword, dropping toward the ground at the speed of freefall.
But Lancelot was already very familiar with the fluctuations of Teleportation Magic, and before the severed palms of the Serpent Demon hit the ground, he had already rushed toward an unoccupied direction.
In the next instant, the figure of the Serpent Demon appeared in front of him. This kind of demon needed only a simple movement to activate the Teleportation Technique, whose disadvantage was the limited teleportation distance, at most about a hundred feet.
In most cases, the Serpent Demon would use this ability to suddenly appear behind her opponent, rarely relying on this short-distance teleportation to escape.
But if she used this ability continuously, she could quickly leave the battlefield.
The Six-Armed Serpent Demon swiftly looked back to find that although the Human Knight was charging furiously toward her, he was still about thirty feet away, definitely too late to prevent another teleportation.
Lancelot suddenly thrust out his Longsword. The Serpent Demon thought the Human Knight intended to make a throwing attack, sneering coldly in her heart, her movements uninterrupted, ready to teleport again.
But suddenly a stinging pain in her back stole all her strength. The Serpent Demon struggled to lower her head and saw a huge hole in her chest, as if pierced by a Ballista from the city walls.
The spotty blood traces sketched out the shape of the Sword Blade, slowly fading away along with her Life Force.
"What is this... Technique?"
The Six-Armed Serpent Demon no longer had the chance to understand the answer to that question, as Lancelot, utilizing his Innate True Qi, shattered her heart with his Sword Aura, the life source of the Demons and the greatest vulnerability of the Tanari clan.
