In this city, there are mostly giant beasts with high strength and resilience. Small-sized demons with high magic power are not welcome here at all, and are even despised.
Moreover, two of them were almost devoid of magic power and were so small in size that they were as low-level as could be.
Moreover, at the same level, high-magic-power demons simply cannot break through the defenses of these behemoths.
Even at a higher level, a high-magic-power demon would find it difficult to quickly kill a high-tenacity demon.
A powerful and resilient behemoth can make countless mistakes, while a small demon with high magic power can be crushed to death with a single stomp or a slap after making just one mistake.
It looks like an insect.
Small size equals weakness, and the same rule applies even in cities teeming with giant beasts.
Unless their magic far surpasses that of these giant beasts, they won't even glance at these "rats."
Layton smiled and said, "These are all friends I made on the road. They said they would travel with me, so it's like we're traveling together."
The bull-like behemoth didn't think much of it after hearing this, since the other party came from the countryside and it was normal for their views to be different.
It continued, "I don't know if it's unique or not, and I haven't left the city much."
If you were to call it a game, that wouldn't be wrong.
It's a street game called 'Brute Force Gladiator' where you can challenge an opponent to a duel on the street.
It's not mandatory, but most people won't refuse.
If one wins the gladiatorial combat, other demons can also challenge the victor.
"So it's possible to play all day long in one game?" Layton asked in surprise.
"That's true, but the people watching around feel that they are no match for them, so they leave."
Just like before, everyone felt they couldn't beat that bear, so they all dispersed. The bull-like behemoth chuckled.
It is also one of the overconfident challengers.
After a brief chat, we managed to extract some information about the surrounding organizations.
The reason given was that he wanted to know if there were any rules to follow in the area, saying he was afraid that he would be taken out by those small organizations before he even found his cousin.
The giant bull-beast shook its head with a laugh, saying, "In this vast [Black Elephant City], who dares to bully the giant elephant race?"
Even setting aside the fact that the giant elephant race is inherently stronger than other races, no other giant beast can defeat the giant elephant race at the same level.
Moreover, if you are really bullied by small gangs, just go and complain to the [Elephant Guards]. If those small organizations don't get beaten to a pulp, they'll be lucky if they clean themselves up.
Elephants will take care of the weaker individuals in the herd, and giant elephants are no exception.
Since this is a city ruled by the giant elephants, no giant elephant will suffer any injustice here!
Upon learning this information, the four realized that becoming a giant elephant was not a good choice.
Since the giant elephant race holds such a high position in the city, they receive even more attention, while other demon races become less noticeable.
An Yi was also learning about the status of the giant elephant tribe for the first time.
An Yi knew exactly how to defeat them, what moves they would use and what derivative moves they would employ, and he could fight most of the demons.
But he really hadn't learned much about the culture of the giant elephant tribe.
Whether playing games or actually waging war, he is the type with a strong desire to kill.
I'll pay attention to how to defeat the monsters, but I don't know much about their backstories. 7
He had certainly fought against the giant elephant tribe before, but his method was to first crush them by level and then go back to collect weapons.
Even in his past life, the situation wasn't as urgent as it is now, so there's no way to "speed through" it that way now. Lu
It's interesting that the more they understand the culture and social structure of the demon race, the easier it is for them to target and defeat their leaders.
However, defeating demons by overwhelming them with higher levels would actually reduce efficiency by half, since you would still need to investigate the demon leader to obtain weapons.
Through the investigation, An Yi also gained a clearer understanding of the next steps.
"Let's go back to our lodgings first," An Yi said.
"Anyi already knows how to defeat the leader?" Lycorina asked.
We've already extracted information about some of the leaders around here. Perhaps An Yi used this as a clue to think of something?
“Mm.” An Yi nodded.
Soon, Layton led the three back the way they came, back into the huge room.
Immediately afterwards, Annie told Milu to go out and investigate the tavern or other places where there might be bounties.
He wanted to find out if there were similar bounties in the city so they could find the leader.
After another two hours or so of boring waiting, Milu told the three of them what she had seen and heard.
There are taverns, but...
There was a group of giant beasts huddled together, wrestling and playing wildly, fueled by alcohol.
I didn't see any bounty notices at all; the tavern's bulletin board was mostly filled with requests to find certain items.
For example, you can find certain clothes, magical items, or medicines, and if you find them, you will receive a certain amount of reward money.
Milu looked for a long time but found nothing about killing any demon leaders.
The only ones involved in the killings were certain escaped prisoners.
This city has a completely different bounty system!
"Then... shall we infiltrate and assassinate them?" Lycorina said thoughtfully.
Milu listened attentively, nodding repeatedly, seemingly very interested in the assassination.
Our main business is here!
"Infiltration and assassination is good, but our small size makes us more conspicuous in the city."
If we want to carry out an assassination through infiltration, we must ensure that we never reveal our whereabouts.
"Otherwise, our identities will be immediately confirmed after we kill the first leader," An Yi said calmly.
There are very few small-sized demons in this city; even demons that are four meters tall are almost nowhere to be seen here.
You might only see one out of ten giant demons?
Based on the principle that larger size equates to greater strength, there may even be even larger demons deep within this city.
Among countless behemoths, these few tiny "demons," no bigger than rats, swaggered around in someone else's territory, killing their leader and leaving. They'd probably be wanted by the very next day, with even the innkeeper helping to expose them.
"Can you guarantee that you won't reveal your whereabouts at all...?" Lycorina was suddenly at a loss.
Not every hero can have a concealment skill like Miluko. There is only one [Formless], so how easy is it to completely hide one's whereabouts?
Just as Annie said, their small size makes them particularly noticeable.
Once discovered, it will be immediately identified.
“We’re going to assassinate them, but… before that, we need to make open contact with these leaders,” An’i said.
"How do we do it?" Lycorina asked.
Annie: "Issue a challenge to them."
……
In the territory of the Stone Rhinoceros, a giant beast that was clearly from elsewhere slowly stepped in.
It was a giant beast with a deer's head and a human body, topped with huge antlers, and its massive body and well-developed muscles could not be concealed by the black robe it wore.
He walked into the block, glanced left and right, and then went straight toward a giant beast with the head of a rhinoceros and the body of a human.
The rhinoceros-like beast was covered in iron-gray, and its massive horn in front of its nose was made of solid stone.
【Creature: Stone Rhinoceros (★9)】
Strength: 70 Agility: 50 Stamina: 20
Resilience: 70 Magic: 10 Intelligence: 3
Tip: 30
"Your leader is [Stone Rhinoceros], right?" the deer-headed behemoth said in a deep voice.
"What?" The two little ears on the stone rhinoceros's head twitched.
"I'm looking for a strong opponent to fight me, and I just happened to learn that there is a powerful demon rhinoceros here," the deer-headed behemoth said calmly.
Not only was the stone rhinoceros in front of him hostile, but other stone rhinoceroses also began to gather around.
"I don't know where you're from, but not just anyone can contend with our leader."
"Since you're so arrogant, how about we have a fight first?" Stone Horn Rhinoceros chuckled.
"This is the necessary path to challenging the strong; I'll begin by defeating you lowly pawns!" (crying)
The deer-headed behemoth stomped its feet, causing the earth to tremble. Two thick arms emerged from its black robe, revealing its rock-solid chest and abdominal muscles.
The stone-horned rhinoceros, equally eager for battle, assumed the same stance! Eek!
Demons and other stone-horned rhinoceroses passing by quickly rushed over, forming a makeshift arena.
The brute force duel has begun! Uncle
The rhinoceros and the deer simultaneously raised their hands, took a steady step forward, and their four palms suddenly came together—Ling
"boom!!"
A thunderous roar erupted!
The stone-horned rhinoceros suddenly felt an immense force pressing down on its hand, like a mountain flying down!
Unable to move! Unstoppable! Search
"I lost!" it roared.
The deer-headed behemoth immediately released its grip, sparing it from harm.
The stone rhinoceros shook its arms, its nostrils flaring violently as it breathed heavily, still shaken.
We can't win...! N
There's no way we can win!
