Chapter 271 The Butcher's Belt
As soon as the bomb was thrown, Noshier controlled the Hunter to hide his body and then retreated frantically in the direction away from the explosion. This is why he was not blown into pieces by the mushroom cloud rising from behind the explosion. However, the shock wave caused by the explosion still made him fall to the ground uncontrollably and revealed himself from the invisible state.
The Hunter got up from the ground and looked at the mushroom cloud rising from behind. At this time, the continuous explosions had not ended. The dozen grenades he threw did not detonate all the explosives at once.
If throwing bombs is regarded as the first wave of attack, then the secondary explosion caused by the bomb explosion can be regarded as the second attack, but the second attack is far less neat than the first attack. He even saw a relatively complete barrel of smoke powder being blown into the sky, but it did not explode.
The occurrence of this situation will definitely weaken the power of this explosion, but even so, he does not think that any demon can survive this level of attack, even if the demon has extremely high fire resistance, because of those special smoke powder barrels.
After the explosion of this iron smoke powder barrel, it can cause much more powerful killing than the wooden barrel. This design is not just adapted to local conditions, but is specially modified. The exploded iron pieces will be like a shotgun, smashing the demons in the affected range into pieces.
This feature is specially designed by the demons to deal with some of the deadly enemies they may encounter in hell. After all, almost 80% of the creatures in the lower plane have evolved high flame resistance. It is impossible to kill these monsters only by the high temperature and impact generated by the explosion of smoke powder. But because of this, the demons tasted the bitterness of their own weapons for the first time.
When the flames of the explosion gradually subsided, there was only a huge pit of scorched earth and some demon corpses that were blown into rotten meat in front of the hunter. Although he felt that no demon could survive this level of explosion, Noshier still let the hunter walk towards the pit and turned on the crown's ability to detect evil demons.
But the fact is just as Noshier expected. The demon hunters didn't see any living creatures at a glance, and even the crown didn't sense any signs of life. He was sure that all the demons had died in the previous explosion.
After Noshier confirmed this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. When executing this plan, he had used up every advantage he could get in order to make the plan go smoothly like it is now. Fortunately, his efforts paid off.
When this last group of demons was also eliminated, Noshier had won the most critical resource for the city, "time".
Now the other legions of the entire hell are busy fighting in the abyss, and Noshier has killed all of these demons before they convey any information to the outside world. In addition, the demon hunters he captured have the means to regularly transmit information to the outside world, so that the current situation can be artificially stabilized.
The danger is still not completely gone, but it is much better than the previous desperate situation. At least for a considerable period of time, Noshiel does not have to worry about the safety of the city, but he can't guarantee how long this time will last. He can only pray that this time will last until he finds the contract. Noshiel, who has appeared at the edge of the explosion site, thought so.
"Lucier, go and count the spoils. I need you to fill the space bag with explosives, consumables or some high-value magic equipment or weapons that can be used in various occasions. After the inventory is completed, send those things to the room just now."
The hunter nodded and turned to collect the items that met Noshiel's conditions.
"Tavis, take the disguise cap, change into a human, and then go back to the camp and tell the others that I'm fine. At the same time, tell them everything that happened here, including that the demon hunters have been controlled by me, and most of the demon army has been eliminated."
"If they ask why I didn't come back, tell them that I'm dealing with some remaining little demons. This is not difficult for me, but it takes some time. I will come back after I deal with them. Don't worry, take the opportunity to rest well and restore your combat effectiveness."
"At present, the demons in the entire city have been almost cleared, but there are still various dangers in the city. Those wandering demons and new undeads are a great threat to the survivors in the city. Although I think these jobs should be handed over to the Knights of Hell and the City Garrison, if you really can't stay idle, go and help deal with these things. Don't worry about me, I'll be back soon."
Tavis took the disguise cap, transformed into an ordinary man, and returned to the barracks on foot.
"Roswell, go and deal with those three little devils, hurry up, or you'll have more trouble."
The succubus spread its wings and flew away. Looking at the three devils busy with their respective tasks, Noshil, who was experiencing the happiness of a big capitalist, put his hands on his waist, and then returned to the house to wait for the spoils to be counted.
The hunter did not let Noshil wait too long. He soon came to Noshil with a bag full of spoils, and then directly dumped out all kinds of magic items except bombs.
Noshil saw a hideous belt, a giant heavy crossbow, a giant half-handed sword, five bundles of magic arrows shining with various colors, three iron flasks, a crystal ball and an amulet.
So many magic items made Noshil smile with satisfaction. Because of the centralized system of hell, these equipments were almost all personal items of the legion leader Lu Xier, which means that these items were the finest items collected by the entire legion. This made Noshil look forward to the effects of these items even more. He immediately began to check the specific abilities of these items one by one.
——
Noshil quickly understood the specific functions and qualities of these equipments. It was a little regrettable that the crossbow named [Dark Arrow Piercing the Heart] and the giant half-handed sword named [Sword of the Styx] were too big. These two weapons were specially made for demons of the size of the hunter demon. Noshil was not very comfortable to use them, and finally he could only let the hunter demon continue to use these two weapons.
The same was true for the bundles of arrows. They were all green-quality magic arrows, but their models matched the crossbows, so Noshil could not use them.
But other than that, they were all good things that Noshil could use, and the most valuable one was the belt, because it was a purple-quality plus 3 magic equipment, and the enchantment effect was very strange.
Noshier picked up the belt. It was a dark belt made of the leather of an unknown creature, with brass hooks all over it. Small iron bars were inlaid on it in a certain pattern, as if they formed some special words. In front of the belt and on the left and right sides, there were several different ornaments, including the upper half of an unknown demon's skull, an eye that seemed to have a glass-like texture, and a black claw.
[Butcher's Belt]

[Enchantment Effect: Butcher's Trophy*3]
[This belt has a total of three empty slots when it is made. The slots themselves can be used to store [Butcher's Trophy].

[Currently, all the empty slots on this belt have been filled. Loot can be removed, but it will be destroyed and lose its original power.]
[Currently, the loot on the belt: Head of the Soul Judge, Eye of the Wax Melt, Claw of the Shadow Demon]
