The phantom left inexplicably, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The most annoying battle in the world, not an overly powerful enemy. Rather, it's enemies you simply can't knock down. Phantoms, which happen to belong to the latter. If you want to kill him, you need to kill the Shikigami around him, and if you want to kill Shikigami, you must first let the phantom die. This seemingly unsolvable plan made everyone feel big.

However, there are even bigger ones.

The phantom is gone.

However, the forty Mist Demons he had summoned earlier were still there.

Losing the control of their owners, they stiffened their bodies like dried corpses that had not moved for many years.

Lloyd frowned, and looked at Joshua, who nodded knowingly, and each of them rushed towards the fog demon in front with their weapons in hand.

Lloyd bent over to attack the Mist Demon's feet, and the double sticks swept heavily at the Mist Devil's feet, and the hard rods emitted the same solid touch. Lloyd originally thought that it would be soft, similar to the feeling of cotton, and even, maybe it was the feeling of hitting the air, but what he didn't expect was that the fog demon's body was very hard, if it weren't for the fact that its body kept changing in the form of fog, he would have thought it was some kind of stone monster or steel monster.

Joshua jumped up and formed a flank attack with Lloyd, one up and down, one sharp and one blunt (referring to the weapons of the two), which could effectively test the enemy's resistance to attack. Like Lloyd, Joshua felt as if his blade had slashed at something hard. The blade slashed silently through its throat, leaving nothing behind.

"Astelle!"

Seeing that neither the blunt nor the sharp weapons had any good effect, Joshua immediately dodged and loudly motioned for his companions to attack. At the same time, Yu-Tatsumi calmly ordered Hoo to launch another magic attack.

"Oooh! I know! Whirlwind - Vajra Wheel! ”

After working with Joshua for many years, even someone like Estelle, who is not very good at thinking, understands the purpose of the two. Now that blunt and sharp weapons have been tested, the next step is to test heavy weapons, right? However, Randy, who is the best at using heavy weapons here, was not there, so she jumped up with an arrow, her orange body spinning into a heavy wheel in mid-air, the long stick driving the air, and the surrounding fog formed a violent spiral around her, somewhat similar to a ventilation fan.

Then, Estelle hit the fog demon on the shoulder with a stick, and the blow finally worked, Estelle's long stick stuck to the fog demon's body like a marshmallow support stick, and she pulled it hard, and actually pulled the fog demon's shoulder off! Between the wounds were fine white threads, like melted candy.

After that, Lotus Xu's magic was at work, and the huge rock pillar that pierced out of the ground was once again ineffective.

"Woo......"

He Xu stared at those pesky fog demons angrily, and her attacks didn't work, making her uncomfortable. Children at this age don't like to be left behind, and looking at the majestic appearance of her predecessors, she can't help but want to make some achievements.

But why? Those damn monsters are immune to magic?

Perceiving Horxu's thoughts, Theo began to explain to her, his tone as flat as ever.

"Because their composition itself is the Seven Divine Veins. Unlike ordinary demonic beasts, these fog demons are pure Qiyao Vein aggregates, attracting the mist in the air to their surroundings and outside their bodies, and highly condensing to form armor. The fog is water droplets, which, combined with dust, are highly condensed to form a solid structure similar to ice. Although the guiding magic could break through the armor, it could not harm the Seven Jewels themselves, and in this foggy weather, their bodies could be said to be endless. ”

The cat-ear-shaped sensors on Theo's head glow red, a testament to the power of the Eternal Channeling System in her breastplate. With the blessing of this system, Theo's brain power is comparable to that of a supercomputer. Moreover, the perception of the Seven Jewels will also increase dramatically, even stronger than that of Yu Tatsumi, who fights with the Seven Jewels.

With the help of this system, she quickly analyzed the body structure of the enemy.

"So, why was Estelle able to cut off its body?"

Ellie was a little confused, she couldn't understand, why did Estelle's attack work, even though Joshua and Lloyd's attacks didn't work?

"It's a spiral, right?"

You said thoughtlessly. Instead, he got a nod from Theo.

Seeing that Ellie was still a little incomprehensible, he continued to explain patiently: "The difference between Estelle and Joshua Lloyd is that she did not fight normally, but first jumped up, then spinned, and circled in a spiral on her stick with vindictiveness, coupled with the rotation of her body, forming a huge attraction, you can also see, she just sucked the mist to her side. As a result, her attack, to the Mist Demon, was a kind of interference, and it lost a shoulder as a result. You...... Do you understand? ”

After a tirade, You asked in a somewhat arrogant voice. Ellie felt a strange feeling in her heart, and was about to answer, when she heard a voice suddenly come from behind her.

"Clear enough."

Startled, Ellie quickly flipped to the side, adjusting her body and aiming her gun at her previous position. Hoxu raised Anigema, and Theo opened the staff, an arc of lightning-like light on it that flickered and crackled.

In the hazy mist, a black figure appeared out of thin air.

The pitch-black robe reminiscent of a raven, the silver mask, and the unbelievably large Oriental sword.

The legendary assassin, Silver.

"Since Your Excellency has explained it so clearly, can I believe that you are deliberately borrowing my power?"

The half-ancient and half-vernacular statement made Ellie a little confused for a moment, and just now she actually mistakenly thought that Silver was going to join forces with the Support Division.

"United? Is it the meaning of the Black Moon? ”

You secretly complained in her heart, but in order to protect Lixia's identity, she could only say what she wanted at this time.

Hearing that You didn't use that strange honorific language, Lixia was still a little happy in her heart. I also understand that Yu Tatsumi is hinting that she is looking for a suitable reason for her actions.

"In the vast white fog, it's not just travel that is hindered."

Lixia didn't say it too clearly, but she was able to make the others understand what she meant.

With such a big fog, there is no special situation where "ordinary people will be affected, and it doesn't matter if the mafia does illegal transactions". Under this white fog, the maintenance of firearms becomes difficult, the gunpowder is susceptible to moisture, and the transporter needs to be careful, and even the vigilance needs to be more careful. This is definitely not good news for the Black Moon.

Of course, anyone who knows the inside story will see the problem at once: this fog is not bad news for the Black Moon, which has implemented austerity tactics. Because everyone's difficulties are the same, Black Moon's combat power is that of a boxer, and it can be said that there is almost no need for firearms. Coupled with the implementation of austerity tactics, Black Moon has even reduced smuggling, and compared to the dominant mafia like Rubache, the impact of Black Moon is simply minimal, and it should be expected to be under this fog for a longer time.

However, Ellie, they just don't know.

Sure enough, this quasi-politician with a sense of justice and aspiring to change Crossbell's pattern was misled by Lixia.

"Is it because the fog is hindering your smuggling activities?"

She gritted her teeth and squeezed out the sentence. Ellie also understands that in the world of politicians, there are no enemies, only interests. As long as the interests are large enough, it is not uncommon for yesterday's enemies to become today's friends.

"Hehe, that's it. Answer? ”

Lixia threw the topic to Yu again. The latter gave her a fearless smile in return.

"Since the purpose is the same, let's join forces for the time being."

Of course, the real line in Yuxin's heart is......

Spare me, Lord Lixia......
