Chapter 207 - 100 Meteor Eagle Fortress_3
“Hey, doesn’t this make us more relaxed? There’s nothing weird about it. Plus, I heard that the commander went on patrol near the Wailing Abyss and had a fierce battle with a demon. It’s only normal for him to be injured and need recovery…”
“Ah, it’s bizarre that Deputy commander, Mage Rolan, violated some military discipline and was thrown into the dungeon by the commander. He seemed like a decent person…”
Upon hearing these murmurs, Leonard Churchill immediately realized that this might be a crucial point in the plot.
The Demon Compass has a usage radius. Only at a close distance of two to three hundred meters can it precisely point towards the direction of a demon.
He didn’t dare to approach the obviously high-tiered commander’s office earlier for fear of being exposed.
But now it looks like there will be major problems.
Leonard carefully tried to approach the commander’s camp tent.
As expected, the Demon Compass spun chaotically.
Looking at the showing exaggerated value of the demon’s power fluctuation on the pointer, he was shocked for a moment, “A second-tier Catastrophe-level demon? Or even a very strong one among the second tiers?”
This is the strongest one he had seen.
It’s more than ten times stronger than the first-tier C-level Catastrophe he encountered before.
“Interesting. The commander of the fortress is a demon; this Meteor Eagle Fortress has actually fallen…”
Having thought thus far, another idea suddenly occurred to Leonard.
Since this commander is a demon, then from another perspective, the deputy commander, Mage Rolan, who was thrown into the dungeon, might be a human, right?
Leonard immediately realized this was the key provided by the horoscope for the adventurers to solve the problem.
A second-tier demon is not something he could handle right now.
Without delay, Leonard directly found his way to the dungeon.
The fortress’s dungeon usually detains some soldiers who violated military discipline, similar to a confinement room.
Just going down a hundred meters through a rocky crevice, there were a few damp cells.
The light around was very dim, which was perfect for stealth.
As Leonard took a few steps, the pointer on the Demon Compass began to rotate.
“A first-tier C-level Catastrophe…”
Looking at the fluctuation value on the pointer, he knew that there was a very skilled demon in stealth hidden in this darkness.
He had to admit that this relic compass was really useful.
Without it, he would have been walking into a trap blindfolded.
Since there is a demon hiding, it is also likely that some early warning traps were set up.
Leonard did not expect himself to go unnoticed.
He had to strike fast.
As soon as the curse power flowed into his body, Leonard’s body swelled up instantly and he transformed into a werewolf.
The supernatural perception of the Ancestral Werewolf was fully demonstrated at this moment.
Not only did he see everything in the dark clearly.
He also carefully sniffed the air.
He clearly identified in addition to the moist rock smell in the dungeon, there was also the scent of a human and a demon.
With the direction pointed out by the Demon Compass, Leonard accurately located the source of the smell.
To human sense of smell, demons smelt like rotting meat.
But in the werewolf’s sense, it was a variety of different smells.
“Is it the mixed-blood dark elf again?”
Having killed two dark elves before, Leonard thought their smell was much better than the rotting meat odor of other demons.
And as for stealth, only they have this skill.
Having identified the type of demon, Leonard could foresee many moves.
Although dark elves are favored by the darkness, they are not good at perception.
The enemy evidently had not realized that they had been detected.
Leonard guessed that there must be traps on the stone steps, so he didn’t plan to go down the normal way.
He suddenly leapt.
The muscles in his legs inflated, and as a werewolf, he jumped onto the rock wall, his claws making it easy for him to climb.
Within a few moments, he had advanced a hundred meters.
As a shadow flashed across the rock wall, the demon hiding in the dark suddenly noticed the anomaly.
But it was too late.
By the time she realized, the shadow had already appeared before her eyes.
She reacted and tried to flee, her figure suddenly scattered.
“Teleportation again…”
Leonard had seen it once before and was not surprised.
The smell had clearly exposed the dark elf’s position.
With a strong push off the rock wall, he quickly changed direction. Like a hungry wolf pouncing on a scared, fleeing rabbit, he pinned the dark elf to the rock wall.
He didn’t give the demon time to react, and with a swipe, his claws severed her neck.
“Killed a C-level Catastrophe ‘mixed-race dark elf hunter’, contribution points +300”
His fighting techniques having become an advanced specialty, killing these frail Catastrophe was much easier than before.
Even though the instantaneous killing was silent.
But he couldn’t guarantee that the lurking demons in the fortress above were startled or not.
Having killed the dark elf, Leonard swiftly cleaned up the body.
And the magician strictly tied in the cell had a clear view of the whole scene..
