Then, large, continuous stretches of land are created to resemble an endless wasteland, generating a sense of desolation.
While you can enter most parts of the game, that doesn't mean that details have to be present in every scene.
Just place any book anywhere, like a little girl's diary, a hunter's survival manual, or an old man's letter begging for medicine for his wife, and the player will cry and say, "Wow, this is so incredibly detailed!"
Those details are preserved in this world, though hidden even deeper.
After all, this isn't a game. Many things have rotted or been buried due to changes in the weather, so finding them will take some effort.
However, for An Yi, there was no need to specifically look for those things; most of them were just collectibles.
While finding a hidden piece of equipment in the ruins is exciting, such a hidden item is unlikely to have any power that would disrupt the balance.
He's going to fight the demons, not to complete the collection achievement.
To be honest, he had considered whether the system would give him something if he collected everything.
But we don't have that kind of free time right now. The most urgent thing is to enter the demon city first.
It is now evening, and the sun has set.
The crescent moon on Apollo's forehead, the Moon Warrior, had the same brightness as the moon in the sky, though it wasn't particularly dazzling.
Only when night fell could he finally unleash his full potential.
As the group moved forward, Apollo frowned and looked at the four members of the Saintess squad who were leading the way, and asked them a question;
"There are many demons gathering around us. What's going on?"
Before deciding whether to take action, Lin Xian, being new to this situation, would definitely ask the four members of the Saintess Squad who had previously entered the Demon Realm.
Knowing that the other three didn't know, Qi An Yi took the initiative to answer: "Those here are all heroes who have broken through level 100."
Demons possess organs that can sense magical power, making us a rare, high-level demon race in the border regions.
It's like meeting a nobleman in a small town; everyone observes from a certain distance.
Apollo paused, then focused his attention back on his senses, and finally nodded: "It really is!"
Lycorina crossed her arms and put on a serious, senior-like expression: "Watch carefully and learn well. Anything can happen in the demon realm!"
"If you don't understand anything, just ask. An Yi will answer you."
Hearing Lycorina's words, the tense group relaxed a little.
They were among the best of the heroes, but this was their first time in the Demon Realm, so they were naturally very nervous.
However, thanks to Annie and Lycorina's words, they finally experienced the sense of security that comes from being an "experienced person".
If An Yi hadn't explained earlier, and they had noticed the demons gathering, they would have probably thought they had been exposed or something, right?
The Demon Warrior Rox said from the side, "I've heard that to operate among the demons, you need at least one warrior with high magic power."
This will prevent attacks from the demons.
Lycorina perked up immediately: "Yes!"
Demons are all bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. If you don't have magic power, you might get kicked by a demon while walking down the street.
"But it's different for me. No demon would dare look at me when I walk down the street!"
Standing before them now was Lycorina, who suddenly became excited about the knowledge she possessed.
An Yi continued, "This city is mainly inhabited by level three or four demons. I estimate that, like Sword Demon City, the strongest demons there won't exceed level seven. Just keep moving forward to the next city."
The constantly popping-up demon illustrations also revealed that the surrounding area was indeed filled with weak demons of level 03 or 04.
What minotaur, horse-faced man, creatures that aren't even human but have the appearance of wild beasts, or even a piece of entrails floating in mid-air emitting black smoke, and a short skeleton with fire coming out of its head.
These are not the targets of level 100 warriors, and there is certainly no useful information to be gleaned from them, so it is best to ignore them.
After clearing out these low-level demons, there will be large-scale warfare-specialized heroes to handle the task, while the five hero squads are more suitable for hunting down "elite monsters".
From afar, the heroes could already see the massive city gate of the demon city.
On either side of the entrance stood giant demons, each four meters tall. They were not humanoid, but rather resembled upright gorillas with thick fur and bear heads.
This type of demon is called the "Giant Bear Guardian".
It's not hard to understand; in games, they are the common gatekeeper demons.
Its enormous size was very intimidating, but in reality, it was just a level four demon that was slightly stronger than a normal demon citizen.
A group of heroes walked in from outside, and the heroes other than the Saintess's team were somewhat nervous.
It's true that some of the heroes' magic is enough to intimidate their opponents, but it's also because of their immense magic that they become quite conspicuous among the demons.
Moreover, they came from an abandoned city outside the main city, making them both conspicuous and quite suspicious.
however……
As the crowd passed through the gate, they saw...
The four tall and strong giant bear guards were trembling, with liquid dripping from their mouths, noses, and fingertips.
"They want to eat us?"
"No, they're sweating..."
The two heroes in the group exchanged a few simple words.
The heroes all felt a sense of relief, but were also somewhat speechless.
Are you... that scared?
At the same time, the heroes also realized that they should be able to move freely in this city.
Given the demon race's tendency to bully the weak and fear the strong, they naturally wouldn't dare to provoke this group of "unfathomable" "unknown demons."
Reporting to the lord?
What is the purpose of reporting to the lord?
Their lord arrived, also covered in sweat, and even knelt down on the spot.
If you can't afford to mess with them, then don't mess with them!
Don't risk losing your life by taking one more look.
They even lost the lord's life along with them.
"Actually, I was thinking, is there any way to hide magic power?" Rose suddenly asked.
"Hidden magic? Why? Wouldn't it be better to make the demons fear us?" asked the Fighting Hero, Blazer.
"That's true, but..."
Rox activated her [Mystic Eyes].
All demons imbued with magical power are exposed to her [Demon Eye].
Even through the house and the walls, she could see two demons, resembling large insects, mating upstairs, and she could clearly see the exchange of magic between them.
"Among demons, magic can be perceived to a certain extent without ignoring obstacles."
What we need to do is infiltrate and assassinate high-ranking demons.
In other words, we heroes with great magical power will be easily exposed during infiltration operations.
"If there are ways to conceal magical power, then there's nothing to worry about," Rox said.
While Zhe was still talking, Lycorina habitually asked the system a question.
"God, please tell me how to conceal my magic!"
Purchase [Searching...]
Search complete.
Greetings, hero. Only some skills and items can conceal magic power.
The test has confirmed that you do not possess the skill or item that allows you to conceal magical power.
"How do I obtain those skills and items?" Lycorina wondered to herself.
6. [Unlock skills by defeating specific demons and acquiring specific weapons.]
Or find related hidden items.
Information on hidden items cannot be provided; please find them yourselves, brave adventurer.
"The Heavenly God said that specific skills and items are needed to conceal magical power."
"To acquire skills, you need to defeat the corresponding demons and obtain weapons; you have to find hidden items yourself." Lycorina briefly explained what she knew.
"I get it! Anyway, if you want to get stronger, you have to keep killing demons!" Dragon Warrior Lana rubbed her hands together, eager to get started.
"Is there any possibility of finding the hidden item?" the pure white Sky Warrior asked with a half-smile.
“It’s not impossible,” An Yi said calmly. “Whether it’s information about the demons or information about hidden items, we will have to collect it from the demons next.”
Others may not know, but An Yi has already envisioned two hidden items that can shield her from her own magic.
Item: [Formless]
It can alter one's appearance, physique, and even conceal the outside world's perception of one's magic.
Item: [Demon Lord's Veil]
Any creature whose magic power is less than that of the Succubus Queen will be bewitched by her, so the first Succubus Queen gave her a magical veil.
It can make her appearance invisible and unrememberable, concealing her magic and thus monopolizing her beauty.
The former is not considered high-level among the many hidden items, but it is currently available for acquisition.
The latter, of course, ended up in the hands of the Succubus King.
Not to be considered.
Chapter 148 Sword Master, please don't kill me!
As if completely ignoring the "obstacles" from the Empire of Hope, the group of heroes stayed in the border city of the demon race for several days.
This was proposed by the Saintess squad leading the team.
The Saintess Squad's requirement was that they didn't have to do anything for the next few days. They could just sit anywhere on the bustling commercial street, where there were many people and demons, and listen to the demons talking.
During this process, the system will continuously collect everything it hears and analyze it in conjunction with the scenes it sees, and finally transform and absorb it into the hero's mind.
