Demon King Priest

Chapter 12: Bounty (2)

"What's going on? Aya! Didn't you say that the masked man was dismembered by you seven days ago!" Seeing this news, Ulysses's heart shrank sharply and immediately sent out a spiritual wave inquiry to Aya.

"I am sure that the masked man was cut into more than ten pieces by me. If he was a human, there is no way that he would still be still alive." Aya's answer came from the bracelet, with a very positive tone.

"Human?" Ulysses sighed. Judging from the fact that the Light Evil-Sealing Circle did not respond to the masked man, the masked man should be a human. But what method did he use to make his body possess that abnormal recovery ability? If what Aya said was true, then it meant that he would not even die after being dismembered. This kind of ability was almost comparable with those advanced magic beasts that were known to be unkillable on the continent.

"Master, what's the matter! Why do you suddenly ask about the trash masked man?" Aya's question came from the bracelet.

"Aya, I'm afraid you didn't examine the body of the masked man carefully. That guy may have an immortal body, and it is impossible to kill him without completely destroying his body. He is still alive, and he has started killing people at night again." Ulysses answered Aya's question with a wry smile.

"What, that trash is still alive!? Grrr! Aya should have burnt him to ashes before leaving! He dared to hurt my dear master, so even killing him ten thousand times will still not be enough. Aya has indeed let him off too easily by only cutting him into pieces at that time." Aya yelled in the bracelet.

"Aya, what is the power level of that masked man? Can you still kill him again?" Ignoring Aya's angry yelling, Ulysses directly asked her the two most important questions for him.

"The power level of the trash is level 6, although it has reached the peak of level 6, if I am in my perfect state, I can kill thousands of them with one hand," Aya replied disdainfully.

"Perfect state? Are you not in a perfect state now?" Ulysses asked.

"No...no! My power as the guardian and the familiar spirit of the Book of the Demon King is determined by the power of the holder of the book, and now, Master, you have not allowed me to show my perfect state. In fact, I was able to disassemble that masked man because of the power released by The Book of the Demon King when the contract is established." Aya replied, a little embarrassed.

"So, now you don't have the power to kill the masked man." Feeling Aya's hesitant answer, Ulysses already had the answer in his heart.

"Yes Yes." As Ulysses expected, Aya did not have the power to defeat the masked man.

"Level six? There might still be a chance." Ulysses thought about it carefully. Although the masked man seemed to have an immortal body, as long as he hadn't reached level seven, the human wave tactics would still be effective against him. Surrounded by thousands of mercenaries in Taji City, even if he was immortal, it would still be killed.

"Ulysses, come here for a moment. Our leader needs to speak to you." Kanka's loud voice interrupted Ulysses' thinking. Why did the leader of the Wild Beast want to speak to him? Looking at the reward announcement just written, Ulysses vaguely guessed something.

Entering the room of the mercenary guild used to entertain high-level mercenaries, Ulysses saw the leaders of the three major mercenary groups in Taji City sit around a table. Among them, sat a mysterious man wearing a black cloak and covering his face with a veil.

"Ulysses, have you read the announcement just now? Our three major mercenary groups in Taji City decided to join hands to take up this task this time, and I would like to invite you to join us." The leader of the Wild Beast was very straightforward. He told Ulysses the reason why he wanted to speak to him.

"Okay, but I need to know the specific plan." Ulysses agreed without hesitation. Regardless of race, this kind of murderer who killed innocent people should be eliminated quickly. Moreover, Ulysses had been killed by him once. If he hadn't just obtained the Book of the Demon King, he would've definitely died. So whether it was for him or for other people, he had no reason not to agree.

"It's great that you are willing to participate. With you, we are much more confident that we will complete the task. If the task is successfully completed this time, you will be paid no less than ten thousand gold coins." The three leaders were all slightly surprised when they heard that Ulysses agreed to it so quickly. It took a while for mage Yabu, the oldest man of the three leaders, to come forward and thank Ulysses for joining them.

Indeed, in general, this mission was very dangerous for Ulysses. Knowing that the killer was a person who could kill a level six Magic Swordsman Leon, Ulysses, a level four mage, may be killed in this mission if he was not careful. But facing such a person, it was very important to have a mage who knew the healing spell and other assistant spells. Therefore, the leaders of the three major mercenary groups valued Ulysses a lot.

But Ulysses dared to agree so quickly that naturally had his consideration. Although he was only a level four mage, he had a strong body equivalent to a level five warrior. With this secret weapon, as a mage who provided support behind the group, he would have the ability to retreat anytime and anywhere.

"Our plan is very simple. We will place hidden guards on the main streets, and use a signal flare to notify others when we find him. All warriors and mages above level four will rest in this mercenary guild first, As soon as the signal flare is fired, we will rush to the scene to kill the guy." Raging Gale's leader Perth told Ulysses their plan.

This was indeed an extremely simple plan, but in this case, it was quite practical. Instead of letting everyone search for the killer everywhere in Taji City like a headless fly, it was better to have secret guards on the streets, and the main force wait in the guild. However, this approach was based on the premise that the killer would not move. But the speed of the killer was as fast as lightning. If this plan was to succeed, probably a large number of hidden guards would be sacrificed to hold the killer. But these sacrifices were probably already in their plan.

"Okay! Let's do it! I'll stay here today!" Ulysses sighed. Although he knew that this plan would cause many deaths, he couldn't think of a better plan. All he could do now was to pray to the Supreme God for the low-level mercenaries that would be assigned to be hidden guards, hoping that they could reach heaven after they die. After praying, he immediately began to meditate with his eyes closed, preparing for the bloody battle at night. After other people discussed the tactics, they also learned Ulysses and started preparing for the battle.

Time passed quickly. The blood-colored sunset disappeared on the western horizon, and night soon arrived. As the night darkened, no one moved on the streets of Taji City. Suddenly, in the direction of the west of the city, a magic signal fired into the sky, and it exploded with a "bang", splashing a green spark.

"Found it!" Ulysses who was meditating in the mercenary guild opened his eyes, and the others in the room reacted almost simultaneously.

The battle was about to begin.
