Annabelle chose to conceal it, again using the guise of "semi-awakening" to cover up the truth.

Regarding Li Fang's ability, she always thought that the more people who knew, the more risks she would be exposed, and with the strength of the organization, she couldn't resist now.

Cynthia did not doubt the "semi-awakening" of Annabelle's explanation, but they were very surprised that the warrior could come back after crossing the boundary, after all, in their impression, crossing the threshold was equivalent to an irreversible awakening.

"Although there are real examples in front of us, let's not take chances," Deborah said calmly, "Anna is an example after all, and the vast majority of warriors who cross the line eventually awaken. ”

"Well, my agent also said that this kind of experience is very rare for me, and it can only be said that I have hit a big luck." Annabelle went on as she spoke......

Cynthia's fragile emotions quickly calmed down, and her injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. She still remembers that when she was caught by Penny, it was Quintina who pulled out her sword and rescued her, despite the danger.

Bowing deeply to Quintina, Cynthia said sincerely, "Thank you very much for saving your life just now." ”

"No, no," Quintina was almost frightened by Cynthia's sudden solemnity, and hurriedly waved her hand, "I did it in a hurry, and this is also because there was once a companion who came to save me regardless of his own safety...... So I'm just imitating her. ”

When Annabelle heard this, the figure of Heroda appeared in her heart, and she didn't know where she was now and what task she was performing.

"In that case, I have to thank Anna, she saved me more than once, and she also helped me a lot in the last crusade." Quintina looked at Annabelle with a pleading gaze.

"Then wouldn't I also have to thank Deborah, she was the one who rescued me from my serious injuries when I was attacked by the Awakened." Anna's words were half-mixed with jokes and thanks, and she smiled at Deborah.

"Hey, so I have to say, I wouldn't have survived if Anna hadn't returned in time and Cynthia had attacked Penny regardless of the danger."

Deborah finished speaking with a little helplessness, and the four of them looked at each other and laughed out loud.

……

Naturally, Annabelle and the others don't need to worry about the finishing work after the battle, and after the battle, everyone will seize this rare opportunity to chat a few words, or share all kinds of information they know.

Many swords only open their hearts and speak more when facing their own kind, and in normal times, they don't even have anyone to communicate with except for their agents, so they cherish their friendship with each other very much.

In family, friendship, and love, friendship is almost the only human emotion that they can experience after becoming a big sword.

Before parting, the four of them folded the tips of their swords with their swords in their hands, promising a sign of friendship and a promise to see each other alive, and then Deborah, Cynthia, and Quintina returned to their respective areas.

Since Li Fang is still staying in the hotel in your town, Annabelle has to pick him up first to get Penny's gold coins, and tell him that she has succeeded in her mission and is safe and sound.

Although there are many holes in the clothes on his body, he is safe and sound if he is not dead, right?

On the forest path back, the afterglow of the sunset stained the quiet mountain forest, and the densely grown trees grew straight and lush because of the competition with each other, and the red and yellow light penetrated through the gaps between the branches, barely illuminating the way for pedestrians.

It seems too quiet here.

Annabelle stopped suddenly, her pupils shrunk, and a layer of cold sweat oozed from her palms.

In her perception, a demonic aura that was so powerful that it seemed to appear out of thin air, and the huge pressure suddenly pressed down, and that "person" was behind her!

Just kidding, can you escape? No matter what, fight it!

Annabelle recklessly unleashed her demonic power like an explosion, and at the same time her body sank down fiercely, like an arrow off the string.

But behind her, a palm-wide black band chased after her at no less speed, wrapping around Annabelle's ankle before she could lift her speed!

Can't give up yet.

Annabelle pulled out her sword from her back and slashed vertically, slicing the restraints on her ankles. But in the blink of an eye, countless black belts had surrounded her.

This...... How to escape?

Anna's heart was cold, she still didn't know what the other party was, that unfathomable demonic power and a black belt many times tougher than Penny weren't a joke, right?

"Don't struggle, I love you very much." The girl's crisp voice suddenly came from behind her, "You are the most favored of me among the four warriors, and you can even cut off my body, although it is only a small point, but I am looking forward to what you will look like after awakening." ”

Turning around suddenly, Annabelle saw a cute girl who was only up to her chest looking at her with a smile on her face.

The girl stood barefoot, with only a simple white off-the-shoulder dress on her body, and her slender and straight calves were exposed.

But at this moment, in Annabelle's eyes, she is an out-and-out terrifying monster!

The black belt that is still surrounded by it is the hair of this seemingly harmless girl who looks harmless to humans and animals.

Although the girl didn't do anything until now, she didn't mean to let her go at all.

The hope of escaping is too slim.

Annabelle gritted her teeth to face this difficult opponent, and her hands clenched with her sword turned white.

"Who are you? Why are you trapping me? ”

"Don't be anxious, I'll talk to you again when Duff returns," replied the girl with a smile, "I used a big bait to hang you out, and if I don't get any more, I'll lose all my money this time." ”

"What?" Annabelle asked incredulously, "Is the Awoken we just defeated your subordinate?" ”

To be able to treat an awakened person of Penny's level as a subordinate who can be sacrificed at any time, what kind of terrifying existence is she?

"Hey, it's a pity that it's a subordinate who likes to take what I say as a deaf ear, although the strength is still eye-catching, but it's very unreliable."

"So you've been watching from the sidelines? And just let us kill her? ”

"I can't help it, because I don't like disobedient subordinates the most. Obviously, she came to my territory because she couldn't survive in the north, and I kindly took her in, but not only did she not take her kindness, but she violated my orders and ate the village to the fullest, which is not good. ”

The amount of food eaten by the Awakened is much larger than that of the Demons, and if the Awakened with a good appetite is allowed to eat, the result is generally a slaughter of villages and towns. Although the Awakened can eat a meal for a long time, and it is not necessary to eat it every day, the population on this continent is limited, and it is in an era when the natural population growth is very slow, so it can't help but consume it like this.

"It's all to blame on the guy in the north, he picked up a weapon that I am also afraid of, otherwise I wouldn't have worked so hard to find a helper in person."

The girl showed a distressed expression, but the smile in the corner of her eyes never changed.

"But it's great to have you in here, and if you're willing to join me, I'll make you suffer less." She said with a sincere face: "I really suggest that you wake up now, otherwise you will really die later." ”
