A Righteous Demon Girl and the Angel She’ll Never Meet-Chapter 22 : Chapter 22

Chapter 22

Chapter 22 : 【Magic Immunity】
“Go, little fellow! Have fun however you like!”
With a wave of Iphilia's large hand, the demonic beast Acheron she had summoned instantly pounced towards the vicious beast.
In almost a single encounter, the vicious beast, which was as large as an adult wild wolf, had its neck bitten off and was dangled in Acheron's mouth like a kite with a broken string.
“Damn it!”
The black-robed man secretly cursed, turned his head and wanted to slip away.
However, when he turned his head, a dark gun muzzle was already pressed against his head.
“You, when did…”
Large beads of sweat trickled down the black-robed man's forehead.
Just a moment ago, Iphilia was still in front of him, directing Acheron to kill his synthetic beast, so how did she appear behind him in the blink of an eye?
“Stupid! How can two legs be faster than wings?”
Iphilia rolled her eyes contemptuously.
She wasn't far from this fellow; with just a light flap of her wings, she could easily leap behind him.
“But I'm quite curious, you just mentioned wanting my body and soul, right? In that case, you should be the true culprit behind these recent serial incidents, right? A weak fellow like you, how did you defeat an entire Elves rangers? Especially when there was a high-ranking elf among them.”
Iphilia's eyes narrowed slightly.
She didn't believe that this fellow in front of her could do such a thing.
The greatest possibility was that this person in front of her was just a pawn, and the real culprit behind the scenes was someone else.
She needed to use this fellow to bait out the big fish hidden in the shadows.
“Hehe, you will know.”
Unexpectedly, the black-robed man chuckled strangely twice.
He suddenly reached out and grabbed the gun barrel Iphilia was pressing against his forehead! But he didn't choose to move the gun barrel away from his head.
Instead, he gripped the gun barrel and pressed it firmly against his own forehead.
His eyes, hidden under the cloak, radiated an unprecedented fanaticism and madness.
“What… Ugh!”
Before Iphilia could figure out what this fellow was thinking, the wall of the alley to Iphilia's rear and side was suddenly shattered.
A huge impact struck Iphilia's side waist from behind, from bottom to top, sending the unprepared Iphilia flying.
Even the shotgun she was tightly gripping in her hand slipped from her grasp.
“Roar roar roar roar roar!!!”
A low, hoarse roar came from the broken part of the alley.
The roar seemed to be mixed with some other strange sounds, like whimpering, and also like low laughter.
All sorts of small sounds were mixed in, making it exceptionally eerie and terrifying.
“What… is this thing…?”
Iphilia struggled to prop herself up, her eyes looking at the gap in the wall filled with shock.
A thick arm reached out from behind the wall, and then, the “thing” hidden behind the gap suddenly stuck out a large part of its body and on its head—if that organ could be called a head—a pair of crimson, turbid eyeballs stared intently at Iphilia, who was lying on the ground, unable to move.
It was a monster composed of countless corpses, nearly five meters tall, its entire body made up of countless incomplete corpses of different races and sizes and what was most terrifying was that the incomplete corpses that made up its body were still in a special state of activity: arms with long-rotted skin were constantly waving, eyeballs dangling in mid-air by a few fibers were still rolling, and mouths belonging to unknown races were still wailing in pain! Countless corpse organs were randomly connected together, forming the most terrifying monster in this world!
“Ugh… It hurts so much!”
Iphilia gritted her teeth, wanting to stand up, but the intense pain from her leg forced her to fall back to the ground again.
Iphilia looked at her injured right leg.
A deep, bone-exposing, and horrifying wound had clearly been cut on her right calf.
At the same time, her ankle was also slightly swollen, probably sprained.
In addition, Iphilia's forearms, elbows, and wings were also covered with large and small wounds, looking truly somewhat wretched.
“Tsk, not good, if this continues…”
Iphilia clenched her jaw.
Although she was a demon, her self-healing ability far surpassed that of humans, and her injuries could recover even without treatment but the injury on her calf was indeed a bit too severe, and it was probably unlikely that she would regain mobility for a while.
And before her eyes, the Colossus that had ambushed her had completely emerged from the gap in the alley, fully revealing its form, and was slowly walking towards Iphilia step by step.
If she didn't leave in time, it would be…
“Acheron!”
Iphilia shouted, and the Hell Beast Acheron instantly pounced forward.
Its thick, broad body blocked Iphilia, and a red light faintly glowed under its pitch-black scales.
In the next moment, Acheron roared fiercely, and a scorching fireball rushed towards the enormous corpse monster.
Acheron was a demonic beast from Hell.
Therefore, even though it was the most common and lowest-ranking creature in Hell, the flames it spewed were also Hellfire that could burn souls.
And Hellfire, was the natural enemy of all life in the world, capable of burning to ashes any creature it touched.
It should have been like that.
When the flame, symbolizing death, hit the corpse monster head-on, it didn't burn fiercely as Iphilia had expected.
Instead, it was as if it had encountered something non-flammable; it merely flickered for a moment before extinguishing, only leaving a not-so-small scorched mark on the corpse monster's struck arm.
Iphilia immediately understood why, and at the same time, she finally understood why that Elves rangers had been tragically wiped out even with a high-ranking elf present.
This corpse monster had the characteristic of 【Magic Immunity】.
The so-called 【Magic Immunity】, its full name was 【Magic Effect Immunity】, was an extremely rare talent characteristic, almost the natural enemy attribute of most magical creatures.
【Magic Immunity】 certainly couldn't completely immunize against magic.
Just like Acheron's attack still left a mark on the monster just now, it could only reduce the power of magic.
But it's terrifying aspect was that a powerful 【Magic Immunity】 characteristic could even reduce the power of magic by ninety percent.
Unless it was a forbidden spell that surpassed the scope of magic or some extremely special 【Extra Magic】, otherwise, magic hitting this monster would be weakened to the point of being like a tickle, just like the fireball Acheron spat out just now.
It really was an unexpectedly troublesome fellow.
But just as Iphilia had said before, the number of trump cards she held absolutely far exceeded what that black-robed man imagined.
It was not difficult to defeat the corpse monster with the 【Magic Immunity】 characteristic in front of her.
But the problem was…
