Chapter 338: Volume 6: Fortified at Every Step, - 3: Slaughter the Demon (1)_2
"No, according to what I know, Ogres, unlike other Magical Beasts, seldom relocate once they choose a habitat, unless they encounter natural enemies. In general, they do not migrate," Komer shook his head gravely. The sudden surge in his Dark Arts abilities had dramatically enhanced his Spiritual Sense. With the aid of Perception Magic, he had already sensed the presence of Magical Beasts nearby. While Komer couldn’t be sure they were Ogres, he was certain they weren’t common small Warcraft, "I’ve already sensed their presence, though it seems they’re not near us at the moment. We must thoroughly search the area."
Komer’s words sent a shiver through Ylot, alerting him immediately. The last time, he had escaped by relying on a Magic Scroll, and before setting out this time, Ylot had specifically asked Komer to make him several powerful and convenient traditional Magic Scrolls. He hoped that if he were attacked again and could not withstand it, such reasonably priced Magic Scrolls would once again help him escape unscathed. He was becoming more and more confident in his Boss. When Komer carefully handed over three Scroll Magic Scrolls to him, Ylot meticulously placed the scrolls at his waist and on the outer side of his thigh, so he could unleash the scrolls’ magic as quickly as possible, as he certainly did not want to gamble with his life when facing Highly Dangerous High-Degree Warcraft like the Ogre.
Slipping through the gaps in the bushes, Komer and Ylot moved swiftly along the easily concealed region of the mountain waist. For Komer, this was the most dangerous area, where Magical Beasts could easily use their traits to conceal themselves and lie in wait to launch attacks on these foreign intruders. In such cases, the possibility of being killed in one blow was significant. Komer’s continuous casting of Perception Magic had already made him aware that a Magical Beast was lurking nearby.
Choosing a relatively flat area to prepare for battle, Komer unconsciously took a deep breath. Ogres were different from Gray Wolves; they belonged to High-Degree Warcraft and possessed considerable intelligence. They were able to judge their own situation and choose their method of attack. Such intelligent Magical Beasts were even more dangerous than some large Magical Beasts that relied purely on brute strength, especially since they were social creatures. Once they launched an attack, it was likely to be a fight to the death.
Sensing four entities exuding dense Magic Power stealthily approaching from the left flank and closing in to less than fifty meters from their position, Komer tightened the Close-fitting Armor he wore, despite it being stripped from a Corpse and uncomfortable to think about. However, for the sake of survival, Komer didn’t care too much about that. His small-scale Perception Magic, combined with his already quite sharp Spiritual Sense, allowed him to discern the precise locations of Demons within a hundred-meter radius. If the people of the Magic World on the Continent knew of this, who knew how many Mages who had long toiled in the study of Psychic Magic would lose sleep.
The Demons had now closed in to just outside thirty meters, a very dangerous distance. Komer cast the Light Shield Protection Spell on Ylot, who stood in front of him. It was a defensive spell that, although consuming a considerable amount of Magic Power with each casting and having a short duration, could significantly enhance the body’s Protective Ability for a brief period—affecting protection similar to a knight’s Fighting Qi, but not as lasting.
