BXBX NOVEL Chapter 280 - Double Tap
A sharp icicle that was shaped similar to an arrow materialized in the crossbow\'s bow socket which was already thrown out as I pulled the trigger using my \'Telekinesis\', and was directly embedded in the closest demon\'s head, as his head and horns were frozen solid, turning his whole head into an ice cube.
What followed not too long after was a speeding arrow which completely turned his head into iced debris…

The reason that I actually used this much firepower to kill the demon guards was actually quite simple, and that was because they were actually all individuals with physical stats that are higher than 20 points!
So, considering that it wasn\'t that hard for me to use this double arrow tactic when compared to using one arrow that is more empowered elementally that would be needed to kill them in one hit, I decided to use it as it was more fast acting and kill ensuring, since I didn\'t want to be surrounded by this group of demons who seemed to be on steroids when compared to the one I met before…

\'Seriously, just how do they keep getting stronger when I meet more of them…\'

It didn\'t make sense to me how the demons in the base were actually this much stronger than those of the last base, especially when remembering the fact that this base seemed to have quite a retarded Overseer… well, not completely retarded but just isn\'t smart enough…

Having continued my killing sequence for a few rounds in the matter of seconds, I turned my head to take a look at the strange situation that seemed to be occurring between the two strongest in the base…
"What is going… going on…" the slim demon who had his hand in his pocket stuttered as he took his hand out of his pocket, which looked kind of strange in my opinion, just why was he acting this way, is he maybe the \'Corruption Administrator\' who is afraid because he would be an obvious target if I wanted to leave the base?
"Gah… you intolerable idiot, this is what you reap! I tried to warn you so we can be ready, we might have won then… but that was just me being a semi-idiot as well… it seems that we were unlucky enough to hit the jackpot and get the 1% chance situation where an actual powerhouse ,who can exterminate us all, was involved with the mark!" the buff demon who I thought to be the Overseer at the very beginning seemed to be scolding the slim demon who was probably the Overseer and not the \'Corruption Administrator\', at least according to the way the buff demon called him…
\'This is getting awkward…\'

The slim demon, also known as the overseer from what I understood so far, who had the aura of a third stage dark practitioner seemed to be frightened to death by the display I have put on, while the second strongest seemed to have been impacted by something that even restricted his aura and his whole body as a whole, seemingly no longer trying to take any action as if he understood that the situation wasn\'t slavagable for him.
\'Well, whatever, since they both won\'t act, let\'s obliterate the mob first before getting to this pair of idiots…\'

Ding, Ding! Ding ding!
Hearing the voice of the bell which seemed to be coming from the main settlement, probably because what I was doing got spotted by one of their enchanted watch towers or something, as a herd of demon in some sort of a formation seemed to be coming my way, I decided to let the weird pair for the end as I continued shooting the rest of the demon mob around me who seemed to be too slow to react to me attacks…
[ You have absorbed the blood essence of a \'Demon Shield Bearer\'… ]

Throwing an occasional double elemental tap homing arrows which would attack from the sky before the shield bearers could respond, I still continued to clean the crowd around me which didn\'t have that much demon left…
"Stop this... protect me! You are supposed to be my slave, right? I\'m sure you can use the powers of the \'Enlightenment Core\' to stop him as long as you sacrifice yourself or something… right? just get to it already!" The slim demon continued to talk in a frenzy as he put his hand in his pocket once more, as he was pressing something inside out it as…
\'In this case, I might have to get rid of them first…\' thinking about the ability that sand used to save the Overseer and extinguish the destructive elemental combustion \'Fireworks\' back then, I already directed my crossbow at the head of the buff demon and prepared to go for the kill.
I had originally planned to keep them both alive since they were both in this partially immoble state so that I could maybe obtain some information from them, but if that was going to be this risky then, I wasn\'t going to bother
"Gaaaaah… you idiot! You are beyond redemption, aren\'t you? You are already revealing your trump cards before your opponent like a retard… you know what? Let me be a retard for once as well…"
However, hearing what the buff demon, who seemed to be kneeling because of whatever that slim demon was doing, said next, I turned my crossbow into another demon...
