"Tick-tick-" The rain fell on Haruka's face, he slowly opened his eyes, the dim sky was raining, the clouds were divided by the previous attack, a few rays of sunlight penetrated the gaps in the clouds, mixed with the rain reflected a rainbow in the air.

Haruka propped himself up with his hands, leaving several huge cracks in the ground of varying shades that stretched to the end of his vision, and a wisp of white smoke could be seen rising from the trees in the distance.

"That direction is ... Airship!!" Haruka gritted his teeth and stood up, dragging his load-bearing steps towards it.

I don't know how long it took, but he fell to his knees exhausted and soaking wet, and in front of him was the huge wreckage of the airship, the previous flames had been completely extinguished by the rain, and the hot hull continued to evaporate the rain, releasing a white mist.

"Damn! it's all my fault... Haruka slammed her head on the ground and curled up, feeling guilty for not protecting Fox and Millie.

At this moment, the wreckage of the huge airship suddenly shook, and white light shot out from the hull, and soon the shattered hull was broken from the inside, and a white ball of light was revealed, through the inside of the ball of light, Hetila could be seen tightly throwing Foss and Millie down and protecting them with her body.

"It looks safe. Hetila looked up, only to see the balls of light around her slowly dissipate. The necklace pendant around her neck was emitting a white light, and it was not until the ball of light completely disappeared that the pendant dimmed again. "I didn't expect the necklace Haruka to be so powerful that it could form such a protective cover. She gently stroked the pendant with her hand, which was the egg Haruka had obtained from the White Dragon Emperor's Tomb before, and before leaving the airship, Haruka had given it to Hetila.

"Where have the demons gone?" Millie looked around uneasily, while Foss carefully held her in his arms.

"Look, there's someone over there!" Millie spotted Haruka not far from the wreckage of the airship at a glance.

"That's ... Haruka!!" Hetila ran up quickly, only to see that Haruka had fallen to his knees and fainted again due to the consumption of too much strength......

Three days later, in a small cave that is not easy to be discovered, Haruka finally wakes up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Hetila taking care of him.

"You're finally awake. ”

"Hetila?!" he sat up suddenly, "You're still alive?!" Haruka couldn't believe his eyes, and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"Hey, of course I'm still alive, do you need to be so excited?" Haruka's sudden rise made her a little overwhelmed, and she gently patted Haruka on the back with her hand.

"I'm sorry... It's rude. Haruka realized her situation and quickly let go of her, and just then, Millie walked in with some water in her hand. Seeing that Haruka woke up, she threw the water aside in excitement and quickly threw herself into Haruka's arms.

"Great, Haruka-sama, you're finally awake. ”

"Millie, are you and Foss alright?"

"Yes, thanks to the necklace you gave to the knight, you protected us. ”

"Necklace?"

Hetila took off the necklace from her neck and handed it to Haruka.

"It created a barrier that protected the three of us, otherwise we would have burned to death in the airship. Hetila said.

"Well, I just gave it to you with the mentality of giving it a try, but I didn't expect it to be useful. Haruka herself was a little incredulous.

"Where did you get the powerful Phantasm here?"

"Before in the temple ... Well, in short, it was entrusted to me by a friend. ”

"I see. Seeing that Haruka didn't elaborate, Hetila didn't ask any more questions.

It didn't take long for Foss to return to the cave, and in order to prevent the demons from reappearing at any time, he and Hetila took turns standing guard, monitoring the situation outside the cave at all times. Fortunately, in the past three days, there has been no sign of the demon reappearing, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

Since Haruka has woken up, the three of them are about to discuss the next plan, they have collected some limited food from the wreckage of the cabin before, and they can't hold on for too long, due to the invasion of the demons, the entire area has become barren, and there is no way to get the source of things, so it is imperative to leave the area where the demons are in office, otherwise even if the demons don't come to attack them, they will starve to death here sooner or later.

"Without transportation, it's very difficult to move in the demon-controlled area. Hetila looked at Millie, this little girl couldn't withstand the long journey, and she could be attacked by a monster at any time, even an adult like Foss might not be able to get out of here safely.

"Indeed, even if we can repel the demonic beasts on the way, it is not at all how far it will be to reach the human defenses. ”

"Today is the third day, considering the previous march of the demon army, it should have already come into contact with the border of the Surfara Kingdom, if the human defense line is defeated, I'm afraid... Hetila's brow furrowed, and the situation looked like it was dead.

"You two don't have to worry about us, Millie and I can stay here. Fox on the side suddenly spoke, looking like he had been thinking about it for a long time.

"No, I've promised to send you safely to the east, I'm absolutely ... Haruka stood up excitedly.

"That's enough, Lord Black Sword Ji, originally trying to cross the control zone of the demon clan is a thing that eats people and dreams, and it makes the two of us a burden to you. ”

"It's not a question of whether it's connected or not. ”

"It's okay, I know for myself, a kid like Millie can't survive such a journey, rather than letting her be outside... Foss choked up, "I hope that my daughter and I can spend our last days in the cave in peace." ”

"This... Haruka was speechless, he knew in his heart that it was almost impossible to take this child out of this place, and there was no other way?!

"!!" Hetila suddenly clenched the saber at her waist and stood up straight. "The sensing magic array I set up near the entrance of the cave seems to have been touched by something!"

"Could it be a demon again!" Haruka also stood up......
