Chapter 8: Angels

The flames of the building crackled and crackled, and the streets were filled with magicians fighting in pairs and threes, using crude magic to attack each other.

Who would have thought that what was still a thriving town in the morning would suddenly turn into nothing and become a battlefield full of fire.

This is the cruelty of the war between the Magus Guilds.

Fortunately, after being reminded by Zela, Giself has more or less listened to it, and has raised the defense level to a certain level in the recent period, and now he can urgently organize his manpower, so as not to be beaten and retreated all at once.

However, from the fact that the defensive circle continues to shrink in the direction of the guild, it seems that the battle situation may not be promising.

……

Creeping through the rubble between buildings, Zela made her way to the guild headquarters in a sneaky attempt to sneak up on a few lone Cyan Skull members.

Although the result can be said to be quite gratifying, but after only releasing a few spells, the magic in her body is almost drained.

This young body limited most of her abilities, and even if she could grow to the age of twelve or thirteen, she would not be so passive now. Whether it's the magic that grew up or the swordsmanship of the 'past life', it's still very simple to clean up these miscellaneous soldiers.

Now if you want to 'turn the tables', the only way out is 'special ability'.

(sighs...... )

With a light sigh and a plan for the worst, the little girl quietly bypassed the frontal battlefield and hurried to the hill carved with the red lizard pattern.

************************************************************************************************************************

"Kill, kill, kill! Kill them all! ”

A frenzied shout came from the mouth of one of the members of the Cyan Skeleton, who had already killed and seemed to see the dawn of victory, and the attack became even more frenzied.

After all, the heads of the red lizards don't even want the guild, and it's only a matter of time before they completely occupy this place.

……

"Damn——! Feed! Haven't found Zela yet?! ”

In the ruins not far from the base camp, a scarred Giself roared angrily at his men.

At the moment when the guild was destroyed, he actually had the idea of retreating.

Staying in Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, he can become the president of the guild, he still understands this reason.

It's just that he has not found his baby daughter after fighting and retreating, which has led to the delay of the action, and if it goes on like this, it will soon be surrounded, and it will be really difficult to fly when the time comes.

And what he regrets even more is that he paid a lot of money to hire a so-called 'powerful' magister who has disappeared since the beginning of the battle, and that he didn't take Zela's words seriously when he first discovered the anomaly.

It's too late to say anything.

He just wanted to find Zela quickly and get out of this damn place, as for the lives of the others, he couldn't care so much about it.

"Haha! Hey, hey, hey! Look what I found, there's a little girl doll hidden in this kind of place! ”

“——!”

A smug laugh rang out behind Giself, causing him to turn around in a bit of panic.

The moment he heard the 'little girl', his first reaction was Zela, but when he looked at the little blonde body that was forced into a corner and shivered, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The little guy was no stranger to him, the daughter of a deceased couple in the guild, and Zela had left her behind because she seemed to like being with her, presumably because the attack had come so suddenly.

It's a pity that now is not the time to miss the old love.

After an indifferent glance, Giself stopped paying attention to it, after all, he couldn't protect himself now, and what did it matter to him whether this little guy named Mebis was dead or alive.

“…… Hah, I thought it would be Giself's daughter who could hide in their guild, but it wasn't. ”

Inserting his waist boringly, the hooded man had just apparently deliberately said it to someone.

And after seeing Giself's performance, the results speak for themselves.

"Well, it's useless to keep it anyway, it's better to kill it."

“……!”

With no intention of keeping his hand because the other party was a little girl, the man slowly raised his right hand glowing with magical power.

"Die, little ghost."

With a sinister grin, Death's butcher's knife fell on top of Mebis's head.

(Zela...... )

Closing her eyes and squatting in the corner, knowing that this time the little girl who was in danger of escape subconsciously called the name of her only friend.

It's a prayer, but it's also a farewell.

But it may be too early to give up on everything.

Because after a few seconds, she was still there.

The only difference was the executioner in front of her, who was slowly falling against his charred chest, and the voice of the president, Girseff, yelling.

"Zela?! Why come out?! Run!! ”

His voice shifted from surprise to horror, and Giself, who realized what would happen to Zela's rash appearance, anxiously urged someone to run away.

Not only Mebis and Giself, the moment the hooded man fell, the attention of everyone present was drawn to it.

Slowly emerging from the shadows of the ruins was a little girl who was no more than seven or eight years old, but surrounded by several fireballs.

……

(The idiot...... )

Sighing helplessly, when she saw Mebis, who was well hidden, running out by herself, she guessed what the little guy wanted to do.

It's nothing more than seeing Giselv surrounded and trying to use himself as bait to give them a chance to escape.

But in doing so, it also disrupted all of Zela's plans.

She didn't expect that the route she was returning to coincided with the direction of Giself's retreat, so she had already found out that the situation here was not optimistic.

While recovering her magic, she was also brewing her strongest attack so far.

As long as there is a gap, the crisis here will be solved.

(…… Forget it, this can be regarded as saving the effort of looking for her. )

She didn't intend to leave out this little fool, but now that the people she wanted to save were still alive, it was enough.

Although the situation is not good......

The hooded man just now seemed to be a guy of no lower rank, and as soon as he died, the surrounding members gathered here.

"As a result, do you still have to go that way......

Not realizing that she had been surrounded by a crowd of ill-intentioned people, a smile appeared on Zela's face that no one could understand.

The fireball around her body dispersed, and the little girl who did not hesitate suddenly intertwined with gold and silver points of light.

That's a 'mystery' that they can't understand.

This strange change made the people who rushed up subconsciously stop.

As the intertwined points of light became more and more dense, the air flow gradually formed a pillar of light that ascended to the sky.

The scattered stardust shook everyone's hearts.

Something that is not of this world has arrived.
