[Cursed Sword]
[Difficulty: The person who fulfilled my wish]
【Popularity: 67,000】
[Treasure information: The 16th commander-in-chief of the Saralan Empire, a young general, this is the treasure he uses. Because of this treasure, he is also known as the Cursed Blade General.
This treasure died in the Patriotic War against the Demons by its descendant, the last commander.
The treasure was sealed in a hidden location along with his body and the souls of a large number of demons.
During this battle, Kaland the Slayer descended upon the location of the Cursed Sword Family and slaughtered all the remaining members of the family.
Take Kalande's head and the cursed sword will be your reward.
Capture Kalande alive and kill him with the curse sword, and you will obtain the fully activated curse sword.
This treasure can pierce the soul, anchor the body, cut through everything, and separate the soul from the body. 】(Perfect)
Alka sat in the lobby of the round tower, leaning back in his chair and looking at the map in front of him.
In addition to the holy grail treasures at the golden spots on the map that were completely unknown, the two very important orange light columns had reached perfection, which meant that the two scepter-level treasures were now only missing the necessary conditions.
Alka looked at the beam of light representing the [Cursed Sword].
Kaland the Slayer...
Alka had never heard of any information about this demon, but he had seen in previous records that the Cursed Blade family was slaughtered by a demon.
So that demon is Kalande. With such a title, it means that this demon may still be alive and may have become even stronger.
Now, there is only one last condition left to obtain this treasure, and that is to find the demon named Kalande and see if he can capture him alive or kill him.
This depends on his current strength.
"Have you gotten some information from Greyfar?" Xiadaiti pushed the door open and asked Alka who was already sitting in the hall.
Alka turned around, looked at Xiadaiti, who still had some blood on his body, and nodded.
"Are the demons still attacking?"
Xia Daiti shook his head: "No, I just went to other places to provide support."
After cleaning up, Xiadaiti sat next to Alka and looked at the map in front of him.
"Do you have any ideas?"
Arka, who was thinking after hearing this, nodded: "According to Grayfar's words, it is best for us not to go to the Anti-Magic Fortress now. It is not suitable for us yet.
The main reason is that it is easy for the Devouring Mouth to find a flaw there, even though that is where the war is most intense right now."
Hearing this, Xia Daiti didn't say much. He thought for a moment and asked, "So what have you decided to do now? Are you going to stay here until the time is right? Or are you going to leave?"
After all, there are not too many problems in the Demon Hunting Fortress now, and many demons have been transferred to the main battlefield.
The endless demons are not really endless, they are just too many in number compared to humans.
"Let's stay here for a while, and then we'll leave when the night comes."
The night Alka was talking about was the one needed to perform the ritual that would allow Shadaiti to become the Moon Power.
The best way would be to wait until such a dark night, and after obtaining the necessary conditions, they would leave to obtain the treasure.
If we leave them now, we will have no choice but to wait.
Here Alka can also look for some information about Kalande in the Demon Hunting Fortress.
After all, it was this demon who slaughtered the Curse Sword Family, so it was impossible for Grayfar to not have information about him. Moreover, the Demon Hunting Fortress was the place in the world where the scars stored the most demon information.
Here many powerful demons are named and marked, along with their methods and the best ways to deal with them.
Demon hunting itself is not a reckless act. Instead, it is about using the demons' recklessness to target them.
Hearing this, Xia Daiti nodded.
After chatting for a while, Alka opened the door to the inner space and entered the Heart of Vastva.
Xia Daiti also followed in.
The area they entered was not within the town of Vastwa, but appeared 1 kilometer outside the town.
When I came in, I could clearly feel that the concentration of magic power inside the space was not much different from that outside, except that it was not as violent and active as the outside world.
The Vastwa people have basically become accustomed to such a concentration of magic power, but it is a bit too difficult for them to withstand the violent magic power outside.
Only consider it when they all become touchers.
But becoming a Toucher is not the same as what Alka and the others had thought before.
Because they never really had a large number of people become touchers, just one or two. There were no problems at the time.
But when they started touching the Vastwa people in large numbers, they found that they could not touch them continuously in large numbers.
Although there are so many places, we cannot recruit all of them at once. We have to take it slowly.
Otherwise, it will cause the magic power of the treasure itself to become disordered.
But it's almost time for them.
In a few months, almost all Vastwa people will be able to become Touchers.
And now, 1 kilometer away from where they appeared, there was a new complex of buildings.
You can see that this building is built with very solid steel.
The buildings in this area are dark black and are surrounded by black steel fences.
When you get close, you can feel a faint sense of lightning on the fence.
In addition, there are many guard towers throughout the area.
Various extremely heavy magical kinetic weapons can be seen on the watchtower.
This weapon was made by Simon and current Vastwa researchers by restoring the manuscripts and conducting research.
This research was the result of other research by the creators of the space cannon they had installed on their ship.
Although not as outrageous as the space cannon, it can still condense specific elements into a highly penetrating attack.
These things are what they need for their subsequent plans.
As soon as the two appeared in this area, they immediately alarmed the surrounding guards.
These guards were also driving mechas that were painted completely black.
They could see that these mechas were very different from when they first came in.
The mechas at that time were made very crudely because of the materials used in the space. Most areas were leaky and saved as much as possible, but now these mechas have achieved full protection.
The driver is also well protected inside and equipped with powerful weapons.
But the cost is a bit expensive.
Given the huge wealth left behind by the Vastwa people, it was a bit painful.
When the guards saw that it was Alka and his group, they immediately swung their robotic arms in respect.
Alka and the other man nodded and walked into the largest building in the center.
This is also a research site.
But looking at the situation here, you can tell that what is being researched is obviously not a good thing.
After passing through layers of protection, we arrived at the innermost area.
This is a pure white room.
And in the center of the room there is a demon trapped here.
This demon has reached the sixth stage of strength, which is the middle level of power among demons.
A powerful magic with both quality and quantity.
This demon was a powerful demon with a name and a surname. It took Alka and his team a lot of effort to capture it alive.
And the main reason for this building is to isolate this demon from all contact with the outside world and the abyss.
In order to avoid some strange problems.
The surrounding Vastwa people are using various mechanical equipment, or spells, to study this demon.
Because in the history of the Vastwa people, demons were not considered to be very threatening.
Even they have basically never seen it.
Because when the Wattwa city-state was destroyed, demons had not yet wreaked havoc in the world, or it was impossible for demons to wreak havoc at that time.
Although the world was eventually blown to pieces by demons, that was also due to the tacit consent of various powerful beings.
Before that, the abyss and demons were really an insignificant existence to this world.
Although the Vastva city-state was not a major force in that golden age, their research and legacy were also very powerful weapons for these demons.
And now these Vastwa people are researching some weapons against demons.
The reason for doing this is simple.
They have to start preparing to integrate into the world.
And the world scar is the best area.
It's dangerous enough here, the territory is large enough, and there are enough desolate areas.
In the wild, as long as you are on the side of humans, as long as you are strong enough and not afraid of attacks from demons and harassment from various cultists, then it is totally fine for you to occupy an area in the wild as your territory.
Even if you don't occupy it, it's just a wasteland.
Doesn’t this give the Vastwa people the best chance to integrate into this world?
With their technological level, they can even participate in the entire war against demons.
Provide necessary technical support.
This will also enable them to gain a foothold in this world more quickly.
This was a proposal made by Alka and his group, and was also accepted by the Council of Elders of the Watawa people.
As soon as the two came in, they saw a tiny dagger inserted into the demon's body.
Then the demon suddenly woke up, opened his eyes wide and wanted to wail in pain, but his mouth had already been sealed by a machine and no sound came out.
I can only struggle in pain.
The huge force caused the surrounding mechanical devices to sway and make noises.
This is because the demon has been weakened, and most of his strength is at a weak level, which shows the pain that the knife has caused him.
"Material No. 3 plus the poison soul spell can have an excellent effect on demons. The damage caused is normal damage, but it can multiply the pain.
Recorded, it is only effective against demons. Based on the current samples, we can only judge that it has excellent effects on power demons."
Said a Vastwa scholar who was conducting research nearby.
Simon was also watching with his arms folded.
He sensed Alka and the others coming and walked over.
"Leaving?"
Hearing this, Alka shook his head.
"Be prepared to stay a little longer until the time comes."
Simon nodded when he heard this.
"Let the experiment continue. I'll come in and take a look."
…
Time passes.
In the following month, Alka and his companions in the Demon Hunting Fortress could occasionally hear some information coming from the Anti-Demon Fortress.
And because Alka and the others were waiting in the fortress, Greyfar often stayed in the anti-wear fortress to defend, reducing the number of times he came back.
From the news we received, we learned that the battle in the anti-magic fortress was much more intense than before.
The fortress was almost filled with wounded soldiers, and they had to be sent to various places for treatment. Then enough people were drawn from various places to go to the anti-magic fortress to resist.
Arka and the others stayed in the fortress, watching the soldiers they had fought with go to support them. When they came back, less than half of them were left, and many of the remaining half had injuries of varying degrees.
Severe cases have resulted in lifelong disabilities that make daily life difficult.
But at least their future lives will be secure. Don't underestimate the power of the church.
After a brief rest, they will move with the troops to provide rotational support.
The mortality rate is alarming.
At the same time, Alka and his companions in the Demon Hunting Fortress also learned some information about the Slayer Kalande.
When this demon descended, its strength was less than the sixth stage. But the timing of its arrival was very coincidental, as most of the Curse Sword Family's military personnel had already gone to the front line to resist the demon.
When they descended, they slaughtered the Curse Sword Family, which had almost no strong fighting power at the time, and only a few people escaped.
After that, the demon disappeared. Alka discovered that except for some officers of the Demon Hunting Fortress and Grayfar, almost no one else knew that it was this demon that slaughtered the Cursed Sword Family.
Now the demon's strength has reached the seventh stage, and it has been fighting in the anti-magic fortress.
He is an important general under the Demon Lord.
In other words, if Alka and his friends wanted to kill this demon, it would not be difficult because he was often active in the anti-magic fortress.
However, when Alka knew that the demon was in the seventh stage, they had to temporarily give up this goal and consider it again after they became stronger.
However, it is said that Grayfar severely injured this demon when he was supporting the anti-magic fortress. Although he escaped in the end, it was unlikely that this demon would appear in the public's sight for a long time.
This time.
The human side still paid a huge and painful price and resisted the fierce attack of the demons.
Now the intensity of the demon attacks has gradually slowed down and is slowly reaching the level of daily attacks.
Alka and his companions also saw that the soldiers who had been rotated in to provide support inside the fortress began to return.
Many new recruits came to the demon hunting fortress for training, and more demon hunters joined in.
"Although we paid a greater price for this battle than before, we also gained results that were difficult to obtain in the past." Salander, who was sitting next to Alka and the others, with bandages all over his body and one eye blind, said as he chatted with them.
Sarand was one of the first generals to go to the anti-magic fortress for support, and he fought until the last moment before returning.
The price he paid was that he lost his left eye forever, and the wounds on his body would take at least a year or two to heal, even with the best possible treatment.
He was badly injured and was invaded by the aura of the abyss.
In addition, he had to pray to the Virgin Mary frequently to prevent himself from being corrupted by the breath of the abyss.
Alka and the others sat nearby and listened to his support experience this time.
"What results?"
Jason asked from the side. He had done a comparison and this time the entire anti-magic wall lost 30% of its troops.
This was an extremely huge concept, which led to the Church of the Four Gods actually starting to issue a call for support for the holy war in the Vast Ocean.
Such a call to action can only be heard every few decades or even hundreds of years.
Of course, the effect is also significant.
More people willing to join the jihad are flocking to the world's scars.
Filled the gap in defense after the war.
What kind of results would justify such a price ?
“An elite team took this opportunity to go deep into the demon’s rear and repaired the broken wound to a certain extent.
This repair will make it more difficult for demons to enter the World Scar, and the strength of all demons will be weakened to a certain extent.
Because it has become more difficult to connect to the abyss."
"How long can this effect last? After all, the devil can also cut the repaired area again, right?"
It is difficult to inflict new scars on the world, but it is much easier to cut away patches that have not yet been repaired, or even just been repaired."
Hearing this, Salander nodded helplessly.
"It won't last long, but it will at least delay the next full-scale attack by at least twice as long."
As he was speaking, the sky suddenly darkened and it became dark.
Alka looks at the sky.
“The time has come.”
