“Lord Jon!” Seeing the figure of the powerful creature emerging from the teleportation circle, the tension on Iris’s face disappeared. She finally felt relieved from the sudden sense of uneasiness.

She finally felt like she was stepping on the ground when she could summon a powerful commander-level companion to assist her in battle.

“Are we going to start the battle?”

Jon looked around and saw that it was a dense forest. There was no sign of the demon forest monsters.

“These…” A serious expression appeared on her face. “These demon forest monsters are far stronger than the intelligence in our family. Should we first gather the true situation and formulate a battle plan before taking action?”

“Didn’t you already fight them? Give me a rough description of their strength and numbers,” Jon instructed.

Iris recalled for a moment, “They mainly live in a huge cave. There are roughly 30 of them on the outside, and their levels are basically within level 10. I’m not too sure about the situation inside the cave, but based on the previous battle, I estimate that the total number of enemies should be around 100.”

After hearing that, Jon gave his own suggestion. “Understood, let’s attack!”

Iris was stunned for a moment. She did not expect Jon to give such a tactic, but after thinking about it carefully, there were only two of them now, so there was really no other way to think about.

The battle depended entirely on Jon, so she could only listen to Jon’s arrangements. Thus, Iris led the way for Jon.

The demon forest monster was a cruel and cunning mutated creature. It was best at being despicable and shameless. It fought with numbers and never had the chivalrous spirit. Therefore, it must be swift and decisive in battle, without the slightest bit of mercy, after all, only a dead demon forest monster was a good demon forest monster.

There was one more point. When dealing with the demon forest monster, one must eliminate the root of the problem. Otherwise, as long as a monster escaped, it would multiply like a rat and expand its population to its original size. Then, it would take bring people back to seize territory and take revenge, it was really annoying.

It was precisely because of these characteristics that almost all intelligent creatures in the mortal world hated demon forest monsters. On the human side, all the factions would issue regular missions to kill the demon forest monsters.

“Whoosh!”

The patrolling demon forest monsters discovered Jon and Iris’s invasion in advance and shot arrows at them.

Jon looked ahead. On the watchtower at the entrance of the cave, more than a dozen demon forest monsters were shooting arrows.

The virtual screen made a note:

Demon forest archers, level 6.

Description: Extremely talented in archery. Basically, every one of them was excellent long-range warrior.

“Elemental water shield!”

Jon used the elemental water shield to block in front of Iris to prevent her from being shot by the arrows. He did not protect himself. After all, these level-6 monsters were not strong enough to break through the defense of Jon’s black stone armor.

“Poof! Poof! Poof!”

The arrows sank into the elemental water ball and slowly fell from the water ball to the ground.

“Elemental throw!”

The enemy’s arrows could reach Jon’s distance, so Jon could use elemental throw to counterattack.

“Boom!”

The watchtower was destroyed by the elemental throw, and the demon forest archers fell to the ground or died from the explosion.

“Ding! Mission completed. Level 5 demon forest archers killed. Level fragment + 20 obtained.”

“Ding! Mission completed. Level 4 demon forest archers killed. Level fragment + 10 obtained.”

“Ding! Mission completed. Level 6 demon forest archers killed. Level fragment + 30 obtained.”

…

The system notifications kept ringing in Jon’s ears. Jon revealed a relaxed smile. Dealing with such an enemy was now a piece of cake for him.

More than a dozen demon forest monsters provided Jon with around 300 level fragments. If he continued killing like this, he would soon be able to gather enough level fragments.

“So… so powerful. Is this the destructive power of a commander-tier creature?”

Iris had been following beside Jon the whole time. In order to maintain the existence of the summoned creature, the caster had to stay within a certain distance from Jon. Seeing Jon raise his hand and wipe out the group of demon forest archers who had made them suffer a great deal, Iris could not help but exclaim in her heart.

“We can’t beat him, run!”

Seeing Jon’s destructive power, the other melee demon forest monsters could easily tell that they were no match for Jon. They all fled into the cave.

Jon was happy for them to do so. If they all stayed together, they could be wiped out in one fell swoop. As long as they didn’t run around randomly.

But he didn’t do nothing. He raised his hand and threw an elemental at them. The entrance of the cave almost collapsed.

Many of the monsters died in this attack.

“Ding! Mission completed. Level 4 demon forest archer killed. Level fragment + 10 obtained.”

“Ding! Mission completed. Level 6 demon forest archer killed. Level fragment + 30 obtained.”

“Ding! Mission completed. Level 5 demon forest archer killed. Level fragment + 20 obtained.”

…

In a series of system notifications, the demon forest monsters provided Jon with nearly 200 level fragments. In addition, there were already 500 level fragments.

“The demon forest monsters in the cave should have already received the news that we’re attacking. Why haven’t they revealed themselves yet? Let’s go in and see what tricks they’re playing.”

Jon took the lead and walked towards the cave.

A serious expression appeared on Iris’s face. There weren’t any powerful characters in the periphery of the cave. The enemies in the cave were the most important. The last time they came, they had also achieved a phase of victory in the periphery. However, after they entered the cave, they were completely annihilated except for her.

Jon and Iris walked to the front of the cave. It was obvious that this cave had been here for a long time. It seemed that this group of demon forest monsters had been here for many years.

There was a door at the entrance of the cave, but the demon forest monsters did not close it when they retreated. It was unknown if it meant otherwise or if it was not in time.

“Elemental toss!”

Jon would not go in so foolishly. Everyone knew that there was definitely an ambush inside, so he threw an elemental bomb in to clear the area and scout the way.

“Ahhhhh!”

True enough, a series of screams came from inside, and the sound of a mission completion notification rang in his ears.

After the system notification ended, Jon led Iris into the cave.

The entrance was a very wide hall-like setting that was filled with the stench of demon forest monsters. There was also the smell of decay and fresh blood. This was caused by Jon.

“Elemental water shield!”

Jon sensed the danger and immediately set up an elemental water shield on Iris’s left. Then, he used the water rock elemental sword to meet the enemy on the right.

In the darkness on both sides, a blurry shadow merged into a dark spot. It was faintly discernible as it moved rapidly. It held a sharp knife in its hand and charged at the two of them like a ghost!

The virtual screen marked the two shadows:

[ Elite-tier demon forest assassin, level 7. ]

[ Elite-tier demon forest assassin, level 8! ]
