Chapter VII: Urgent Tasks (I)

While Yu Tatsumi dispelled the fog, another pair of siblings who were enthusiastic about the safety of the people were fighting hard in the city of Crossbell.

The elder sister, who has a brown double ponytail hairstyle, holds a long stick in both hands, and with force under her feet, she turns around and smashes the enemy with a stick.

It was a two-story monster that resembled a wolf walking on two legs.

In the vast white mist, its body and the surrounding fog were mixed together, ambiguous, and some slightly darker outlines could barely be seen.

Fog Demon.

The younger brother with short black hair immediately recognized the identity of the monster.

The long stick of her sister, Estelle Bright, slammed down with a strong fighting spirit that seemed to shake the earth. It was so strong that it seemed as if even a large piece of the mist had been cut off.

The Mist Demon lost his right forearm with this blow.

Seeing that the attack was effective, Estelle hurriedly made another stick, and the orange-red combat uniform immediately turned into an orange whirlwind, and the long stick in her hand turned into a knife wheel of a spinning top, and the wind was like a chainsaw, splitting the fog demon in two.

Behind him, Joshua didn't make a move.

He was cautiously guarded, his white waistcoat and gray trousers forming a complete defensive stance. Behind him, a little girl hid timidly behind him.

It seems that the two are protecting the child.

The Mist Demon was knocked down, and Joshua didn't have a trace of joy on his face.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the surrounding mist flowed into the wound of the fog demon, reforming into a new tissue, and in the blink of an eye, the broken fog demon was reborn again.

The girl couldn't help but whisper.

From the beginning, the two guerrillas had killed the monster several times, but each time they killed it, the fog demon was reborn again.

It seems that this fog demon just can't be killed.

Joshua sighed, and his heart couldn't help but be a little irritated.

"Astelle!"

Stephel immediately understood, and jumped back to get in front of the little girl, and Joshua rushed out. The two exchanged duties.

Joshua's figure was several times faster than Estelle's, the sharp blade instantly cut through the thick mist, Joshua carefully used the technique called the doppelganger, at the same time, Joshua's human form became three, and because of the speed, each Joshua dragged a long figure behind him.

The three of them attacked from three directions, and the blades sliced at the fog demon in succession, cutting it off almost instantly. Then, without waiting for the fog to begin to recover, Joshua immediately made up a dozen knives over and over again, and forcibly cut the two-story monster into small pieces that could be picked up with one hand. Thankfully, this is the Fog Demon, and no blood is spurting out. Otherwise, it will definitely affect the little girl's mind.

After this, Joshua did not let it go, took out Anigema, and immediately drove an arrow of fire to hit the remains of the fog demon, trying to prevent its regeneration with the burning flames.

This fog demon is very fragile, but no matter how fragile it is, it will take a certain amount of strength to destroy. In the face of an enemy that can be resurrected endlessly, it would be too unwise to fight a war of attrition.

In fact, the most reasonable thing to do was to run away with the little girl, but in this vast white fog, Joshua's keen sense of direction lost its effect. After all, this fog was deliberately laid by the phantom ghost, trapping everyone, a small disorienting illusion, but it was necessary.

However, the flame did not burn.

The crimson flame arrow passed through the Mist Demon's body and slammed into the ground, leaving a charred black trail. But, did not burn up.

As mentioned earlier, fog is water vapor, which is humidity. The Mist Demon is made of mist, and the flames naturally cannot be ignited.

Damn, if only it weren't for this damn fog.

Speaking of fog...... Is it Luciola......

Joshua squinted, taking advantage of the mist demon's rebirth, thinking carefully about what to do.

Just when he racked his brains and couldn't do anything, he could only watch the fog demon reborn, the wind rose.

Moreover, it is a gale.

Oddly enough, Crossbell doesn't belong to windy terrain. Moreover, because of the complex buildings in the city, the wind is generally not too strong.

This time is different.

As if to blow away the mist, it blew so violently that Joshua did not stand still, and staggered a few steps. Trying to stand and hold on.

Visibility quickly picks up,

The surroundings are translucent and ethereal like a mirage.

As the fog dissipated, the illusion was cracked.

Joshua also thought he was in the central square, but in fact, they were in the Old Town.

"It's the old town again......"

Joshua muttered.

I've heard Arios's predecessors mention it before, and there is an incident of a delinquent teenager in the old city. Then there was a huge griffin attacking the old town. Now, the fog has also brought itself to the Old Town.

Is this really a coincidence?

Or is there something going on in this old town?

"Again?"

Estelle tilted her head, she hadn't thought that deeply.

Joshua smiled and replied, "It's okay, I'll just leave the analysis to me." ”

Estelle is not good at analyzing these things, and she knows it herself, so she does not force it to mix.

She turned around and asked the little girl she was protecting, in fact, she just came out of the rented house on East Street, ready to report to the Guerrilla Association, but got lost because of the thick fog, and finally encountered the little girl being attacked by the fog demon, so she hurried to protect her.

Joshua, on the other hand, looked around. Suddenly, he noticed something unusual, and in the distance, he could faintly smell blood. Because of the nervous battle against the fog demon before, he didn't notice the faint fishy smell. Now relaxed, his nose keenly sensed the problem.

"Estelle, it looks like someone is injured over there, I'll go check on the situation."

"yes, I see. Once I had settled her, I chased after her. ”

The two of them tacitly did a division of labor, and the soldiers were divided into two ways.

The little girl was out playing with her friends, and she accidentally got lost, and the fog became denser and denser, making it impossible to see her position clearly and unable to distinguish the direction.

Joshua, on the other hand, ran wildly for about three hundred miles, and finally found the source of the smell of blood.

It was a policewoman lying in a pool of blood, her blue hair dyed red with a half-congealed red. It was sticky and thick, and her chest was tied with a large number of medical bandages, and according to the blood marks on the bandages, it could be seen that she had received extremely serious external injuries at one point.

However, now that she was breathing steadily, it looked like someone had done emergency treatment for her.

Beside her, two little boys slept in their arms. A little boy also suffered a leg injury.

Joshua pondered it carefully, and probably came to a conclusion: there was not only one fog demon, but the little girl was not the only one who was attacked, at least three more people appeared here. And there are people doing something similar. He must have fought off the fog demon - or there was no reason why there was a child unharmed. And the seriously injured policewoman was dealt with as an emergency.

Is it other guerrillas?

Or is it Brother You?

Joshua pondered in his heart.

Didn't bother the two children who were sleeping peacefully.

He just stayed by their side quietly and opened up the communication of the Medical University of St. Ullsla.

"Hey, hello, someone is injured and bleeding profusely in the chest, and emergency treatment has been done. The location is the city of Crossbell, the Old Town, and is a police officer. ………… Ay? Has anyone already reached out? Sorry for the inconvenience. ”
