Crystal Puppet

**Crystal Men** or **Crystal Puppets** are Crystal Dragon Jacob's puppet soldiers in Crystal Valley

## Debut

Manu led the three of them (Chen, Sabrina, Fatilu) walking down. There were many guards along the way. When they saw Manu, they looked respectful, but there were also some who turned a blind eye like a mindless puppet.

Chen Rui was paying attention to an odd creature. This creature had the form of an ordinary demon or human and its body was covered in clear crystal. Its movements were relatively rigid which were somewhat similar to robots.

After deliberately getting close into the effective distance, data appeared in his Analytical Eyes. Race: Crystal Man (Puppet). Comprehensive Strength Assessment: C. Physique: C+; Strength: C+; Spirit: F-; Agility: D.

*Purely strength and physique. Spirit is almost negligible, and its agility is a weakness. However, physique and strength at the peak of Demon King cannot be ignored, especially there are more than one of them.*

*These puppets... could it be that they are made by Kia's father, Azgalor?* *Although their strength isn't as good as Glorfin's strongest Demon King-level spirit-devouring demonic fly, Glorfin's spirit-devouring demonic fly is limited in number and the crystal men in front of me is almost equivalent to a small troop.*

Manu noticed his gaze and laughed, "This is the crystal guard of the Crystal Valley. Their bodies are sturdy and extremely powerful. Magic damages on them are halved so they are the nemesis of mages. The scarier part is that they feel no pain. The only flaw is that they're relatively slow."

Judging from the data, Manu should be telling the truth. Chen Rui asked deliberately, "I've never seen this kind of guard before. Is it a new race in the Demon Realm? Why do I feel like they're under control. Could it be a masterpiece of an alchemist? Is there any other master in the Crystal Valley?"

"The Crystal Valley does have other mechanic masters and potion masters, but they have nothing to do with the crystal guards. The crystal guards are created by another person. This person, I'm planning to take you to meet him. He's very strong and he can be regarded as the true owner of Crystal Valley. I can't even rival him."

*Is Kia's father that powerful? Even Manu admits that he can't rival?*When Chen Rui thought Manu was going to say Azgalor's name, Manu instead said, "The name of this person is Jacob."

*Not Azgalor!*Chen Rui was shocked: *Another Demon Overlord! That being said, this force has at least three Demon Overlord-level powerhouses!*

*Three Demon Overlords are shocking enough in any empire!* Even Chen Rui's father-in-law, the general of the Fallen Angel Empire was only at the peak of Demon Emperor! (*Speaking of that, with those potions and Paglio's instructions, my father-in-law should be able to break through the bottleneck soon and reach Demon Overlord...*)

However, even if they were all Demon Overlord and at the same level, due to the difference in territory and strength, the gap in combat power wasn't small. Paglio's strength at that time was at the peak of Demon Overlord and he bragged that he could defeat dozens of powerhouses at the same level but, Chen Rui didn't know whether it was true.

## Combat

The strength and speed of the crystal men were relatively weak, but their defense was extremely high, especially magic defense. Besides, they had no fear of death, But they had relatively weak combat power. They couldn't be compared with the [War Puppet] of the Lust Royal Family. Guli and Phil didn't really want to fight Sabrina. They just wanted to delay until someone in-charge came to resolve the dilemma.

The body of those durable crystal men on the opposite had many cracks. The crystal men were quite similar to the crystal dragon where their recovery was very slow after being damaged. This level of damage most likely needed to take a very long time to recover.

## Crystal vein

The movement of this figure was a bit stiff, and the whole body was full of clear crystals, reflecting a strange light under the shine of the magic lamp.

Race: Crystal Man (Puppet). Comprehensive Strength Assessment: C-. Physique: C, Strength: C, Spirit: F-, Agility: D-. Attribute: Anti-Magic.

Demon King level… crystal man? This familiar crystal puppet made Chen Rui finally realize that the strange incidents that happened here were all caused by his “old friend”!

Although Chen Rui still had some doubts about the ancient runes, he didn’t think about it any more. He followed the crystal puppet all the way forward. The crystal puppet had no autonomous consciousness and only obeyed the master’s command. Despite having a certain sense of perception, it was still unable to sense the follower who had reached the Demon Emperor level.

As the light began to brighten, the crystal man came to a place and stopped. There were several identical crystal puppets inside. Many demons carried out the mined minerals from the surrounding mines from time to time.

These demons were sluggish and looked very tired. However, if they even paused slightly, they would be beaten or even killed by the crystal men. Judging from their attire, they should be miners who had disappeared from the previous mine. The role of the crystal puppets seemed to be to patrol and supervise them.

The mined minerals were transported to a hall by the miners. The hall was surrounded by a circle of crystal puppets. It was tightly guarded. There was a portal or something like that at the front, and the minerals were poured into the portal.
There was a middle-aged man in his forties with extraordinary demeanour near the portal. He directed the miners to draw magic marks on the ground.

Chen Rui’s eyes lit up. This middle-aged man was one of his targets this time, Master Rummenigge.

## Trivia

* The speed of the crystal men was inferior, but their defense and magic defense were quite outstanding. But they were turned into powder by Destructive Aura Blow. They are not too intelligent.
