Chapter 712 Air Pursuit
When investigating in Monger Manor for the first time, Reina was sure that the devil must be hiding somewhere in the manor.
But she didn't find any clues about where exactly he was hiding.
Devils are not so easy to catch.
Although their true appearance has scary horns, wrinkled and tight skin, black sheep's hooves, and fangs pointing downwards at their mouths, that is their "true body".
Usually, especially when they appear in front of mortals, devils are very good at disguising themselves.
They will pretend to be majestic, shrewd, charming, or gentle to quickly gain the favor of mortals.
Don't underestimate this "little trick".
A beautiful and charming beauty and a muscular man appear in front of people, and the first impression they give people is definitely different.
Devils are good at using similar methods to create different personalities and images for themselves.
Moreover, the principle of this power is neither magic nor divine art, but the desires in the hearts of mortals.
They will know what mortals want to see most in their hearts, and then disguise themselves.
Reina made no progress in her investigation in Monger Manor, and thought that this matter would end as a regret.
Unexpectedly!
A sudden turn of events!
Norwen's oracle came directly in front of her:
[Mission: Air Pursuit]
[Mission Description: The devil hiding in the dark is well versed in judging the situation. At the critical moment, he abandoned his contractor Rune Monger and fled the manor in exchange for the opportunity to continue lurking in the mortal world, so that he can continue to find his advocate, grab souls for him, and indulge in pleasure. ]
[The great god Norwen has found the location of the devil. Catch him, stop him, and destroy him for the stability of the mortal world! ]
[Mission Target: Destroy the Devil 0/1]
[Mission Reward: Title "Devil's Death Knell"]
...
Norwen's method of finding the devil hiding in Monger Manor is simple and crude.
He doesn't even need to activate his authority.
If you don't know where, just chop it.
In the Creation Altar, set Monger Manor and a small area nearby as the "Punishment" range.
Inject divine power.
Then start to strike!
The precision-guided punishment thunder that only targets the devil breaks through the dimensional boundary and falls into the mortal world, and then... strikes precisely on the VIP luxury goblin airship that was once specially ordered by Rune Monger!
The time consumed by this process is extremely short.
What mortals see is a flash of lightning in the night, briefly lighting up the sky, and then thunder in the night.
The direction of the thunder is near Monger Manor. Combined with the statement that the Crusaders searched out the cultists from it, people will not think there is any problem.
There are cultists, so it is normal to be punished by God!
Wherever a punishment thunder falls, the devil is hiding.
The final result points to the airship!
And the VIP luxury goblin airship has just started the propeller, intending to slowly leave the capital in the north!
Although Norwen could have dropped a few more thunders and simply struck the devil to death.
But he did not do that.
[Punishment Core] Chop the devil. If you want to chop the devil to death, you will really chop them to the point where their souls dissipate and turn into ashes, leaving nothing behind.
This thing only provides two modes for Norwen.
Either "warning".
This method was used to chop Raphael before and in this test.
It's not a big deal, and the strength is just right.
Or "annihilation".
In that case, the required divine power consumption will increase dramatically, so much that Norwen can't handle it now.
Just to chop to death a devil who hides in the mortal world and dares not show up?
It's not worth it.
So Norwen simply made up a task and sent it to the believers, asking them to find a way to solve this problem.
The reward is to simply arrange a title and that's it.
This kind of thing doesn't cost Norwen's divine power, it's just a symbol of honor. If he really wants to get it, Norwen can buy as many as he wants.
...
The task Norwen "handed" out.
It was a big deal for the believers, a big deal.
This was a guide from the gods!
"That devil, he's on that luxury airship!"
"We have to find a way to get up there!"
Reina explained eagerly.
The Golden Tide Windbreaker had been traveling between Stone Castle and Ceylon City recently, and was not near the capital at the moment;
It was even more unrealistic to expect to find an airship to intercept it, and the time they spent negotiating with the goblins was enough for the airship to run away.
"Ah?!" Vladin was confused: "Devil? What devil?!"
Everyone reacted.
They had never explained to Vladin about the devil hidden in the world.
After a brief introduction in a few words,
Prince Fradin slapped the table excitedly and stood up:
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and act!"
"We need to board that airship, right!"
"I have a way!"
"Contact the palace guards and ask the Griffin Knights to take us up on the griffins!"
...
With the help of the prince, many things immediately became extremely easy.
Driving the carriage all the way to the station of the Griffin Knights, relying on Prince Fradin's face was enough to get the green light for all the procedures.
When they heard that there was a devil who was planning to escape from the capital on the private airship that once belonged to Monger, the Griffin Knights assembled urgently.
The Griffin Knights team was pulled in at the first time. The griffins flapped their wings full of plump feathers, kicked the ground with their claws, and took off into the air!
A strong gust of wind blew in their faces, which was an indispensable experience when taking off at high speed.
Although the Griffin was not as good as the Goblin airship that relied on mechanical power and airbags to float in terms of endurance, the Griffin Knights undoubtedly beat the Goblin airship in terms of short-distance acceleration, high-speed flight, and flexibility in changing directions in the air!
Even though the VIP luxury airship that once belonged to Monger had obviously pulled the power to the maximum, and the machinery in the power compartment where the propeller was located began to emit black smoke, it was still quickly pulled close by the Griffins.
"Bang!"
When the Griffins approached the airship within 50 meters, without any warning, they seemed to hit an invisible wall head-on, and all the feathers on their bodies stood up, as if they were facing something extremely terrifying in front of them!
The negative state of [Deep Fear] is extremely eye-catching on the griffin.
"That devil!" Pete reacted and shouted loudly: "He is trying to stop us from getting close!"
Griffins are magical animals, and their perception is sometimes more acute than that of humans.
This is a good thing and a bad thing.
For example, at this moment.
No matter how much the griffin knights appease, they can only let them hover and track at a distance of about 50 meters from the airship, but refuse to get closer.
"The last distance, the griffin can't help us, we have to do it ourselves!"
...
The last battle of the fifth volume!
There is more tonight, and the fifth volume is over!
