After Transmigrating as a Demon, I've Been Adopted by Angels!-Chapter 213 - Strategy

The monster just stuck its hand into the portal.

Then, there was a shrill scream.

The monster’s left hand was also stuck in the portal and the portal, which was the Demonic Dimensional Gate, kept moving toward the monster’s body under Davis’ control.

In order to prevent the monster from biting off its own arm and escaping like last time, Davis increased the speed of the portal.

Moreover, the demonic power that gushed out of the portal also wrapped around the monster’s body, preventing the monster from escaping.

However, this time, the monster did not escape.

Instead, its eyes were filled with despair and anger.

It did not have the ability to run away either, because its power had been used up in the previous violent search operation.

The monkey-shaped monster was really at the end of its life, and it did not even have the power to scream.

After the initial scream, the monster had used up its last bit of power.

Now, the monster even had the idea of attracting other monsters.

However, it now had no strength at all.

It could only be constantly devoured by the portal.

The monster, even humanized, and shed tears.

It seemed to be lamenting its suffering, and also seemed to regret its impulsive behavior.

In short, it was now certain of its death.

Davis did not let the monster suffer for too long.

When he realized that the monster was no longer struggling, he immediately summoned another portal, and the two portals quickly merged.

The monkey-shaped monster that had put Davis’ life on the line many times died at Davis’ hands. 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

Lilia cheered for him.

“Davis, you’re too amazing. That monster actually fell for it.

“How did you come up with this idea?”

Davis controlled the two portals to merge as he explained, “This was because when I was fighting with that monster earlier, I discovered that the monster’s intelligence was very high. It was just like a well-trained warrior.

“So, I guess that after the monster is heavily injured, with its intelligence, there’s a high probability that it will lurk where it is and wait for us to get close. When we think that it’s dead, it will launch a lightning strike.”

After hearing Davis’ words, Lilia’s eyes were filled with admiration for Davis.

Even her mother, the Dragon Queen, had not told her about the techniques that Davis talked about.

She was very surprised.

“Davis, where did you get this knowledge?”

There was a pleading look in Lilia’s eyes.

She indeed had a huge need for that kind of knowledge.

That was because Lilia believed that the type of knowledge had nothing to do with strength. Instead, it was something that she had concluded after countless life and death battles.

After Davis retrieved the demon’s portal, he smiled and said to Lilia, “This isn’t considered knowledge either. It should be considered experience. As long as you capture the enemy’s habits in battle, you can make the most appropriate response according to the enemy’s habits in the subsequent battles.”

“…”

After Lilia heard Davis’ words, she was still very confused.

Among the dragons that respected strength, very few people talked to her about strategies and such.

Thus, Lilia raised her head and asked, “But, Davis, in the face of absolute strength, what’s the use of these techniques?”

Davis saw Lilia’s eager attitude, and he could not help but want to explain the use of strategies to her.

That was the experience that Davis had summed up when he was playing strategy games like StarCraft and World of Warcraft in his previous life.

There was a beautiful woman lying in his arms asking him for advice humbly, so Davis naturally would not refuse.

However, at this time, Davis suddenly remembered that monkey-shaped monster’s expression of relief before it died.

That expression seemed to say that Davis and Lilia were about to die just like it.

It was filled with ridicule and a sense of revenge.

When he thought of that gaze, Davis felt a little uncomfortable.

However, Davis quickly shook off the influence of that gaze on him.

Instead, he carried Lilia and landed on the ground as he spoke to Lilia.

“Lilia, strategy is a very complicated concept.

“I want to correct your concept. Even if a powerhouse has a strategy, it will result in two completely different outcomes in battle.

“If a powerhouse does not have a strategy, it is equivalent to giving up the advantage of his brain. Then he would be no different from a boor. He can only rely on his absolute strength to suppress and fight, then only he can win against those who are not as strong as him. Once he meets someone on the same level as him, or if he meets someone stronger than him, it is very likely that he will lose due to the lack of a strategy.”

Speaking up to this point, Davis changed the topic and said, “Just like today, if we did not use a strategy, with the strength of the two of us, do you think that we have a chance of winning against that monkey-shaped monster?”

Lilia shook her head and said in a low voice, “There shouldn’t even be a 10% chance. Davis, several times, I almost thought that we were going to die at the hands of that monster. It’s great that we survived.”

Saying this, Lilia hugged Davis’ arm tightly.

She gradually agreed with Davis’ words.

“Then, what will happen if we have a strategy?”

This time, Davis did not speak for long. Instead, he continued what he said last time, “If we have a strategy, we will be able to defeat that monster without any bloodshed, just like this time. We can even preserve most of our strength when we kill that monster. Even if we encounter a monkey monster like that monster again, we still have the strength to fight.

“If we were to fight to the death with that monster from the very beginning, not only would our chances of defeating that monster be very slim, but even if we were to defeat that monster, we would also be heavily injured.

“That way, even if we weren’t killed by this monster, we would still be killed by other monsters.”

Hearing this, Lilia turned pale with fright, but she was also extremely afraid.

As Davis had said, their situation was actually quite dangerous. If it was not for Davis’ ingenious strategy, it was very likely that both of them would have already been killed or heavily injured.

Lilia also admired Davis even more.

She continued to ask, “Davis, can you tell me more about strategy?”

Davis was very interested. He spoke with elation and explained, “This is only the effect of strategy when surviving in the wild. In large-scale battles, strategy is more important than strength for the strong.

“Distribution of combat strength, formation, and time difference…”

At this point, Davis noticed that Lilia was confused again.

Thus, Davis decided to stop this small educational session.

“Lilia, the effect and application of these strategies can be slowly experienced in the actual battles in the future.

“Now, our first task is to find a place to rest.”
