The demons who had rushed into this narrow alley were completely swept away, and the first few who rushed to the front were blown into the sky by the power of this hybrid spell, torn apart, and fell to the ground. For a moment, the ground was covered with rolling skulls and severed arms, and the walls on both sides of the alley were covered with plasma.

“…… All right. ”

Vill let out a soft breath.

"Did you see that? Just like that, we're going to be able to stick to it. ”

With the encouragement of the girl, and the strength and character of the two of them who led by example, fear and threat were far away from the group for a while.

……

"Miss Edward, are you telling the truth?"

The others all breathed a sigh of relief, some took out their maps, and some hurried to rest behind them. But the young man who had worked with her to dispel the demons still had a serious expression, and he whispered confirmation to the blonde girl beside him.

“...... What do you mean? ”

"Of course it's a rescue thing."

Duncan Davy stared at the side of her face.

"Will someone really be sent from the top to save us?"

Villerite was silent for a moment, then released a flash of lightning that knocked an ape-like demon from the rooftop, and the blue-white electric sparks jumped over the "companions" around the monster, leaving a pitch-black coke in place. Then, she said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"I did signal when I realized something wasn't right. But whether they receive it or not, whether they will come to our rescue, is another matter. ”

“…… Sure enough. ”

The other party sighed.

"Not to mention that the ladder system is probably closed now, if I were the one who planned this attack, I would definitely not forget to release the magic of isolating communication, and 'secret communication' can't be transmitted that far. He won't give us a chance to ask for help. ”

"Yes."

Willy nodded.

"The only chance we have left is to break through the zombie tide, go to the location of the ladder, and manually turn on the system."

They were originally top-level residents, so they didn't need additional permission to pass the certification. And if you get there, you'll be protected by the most perfect defenses, with two alchemical golems made by Master Peter of the Rasputin School, enough to keep the flesh and blood of the lower demons out.

"I say this to people just to encourage them and prevent them from giving up hope, which is why I say that the rescue at the top will arrive before tomorrow. But in reality, I hope to break through the siege and return to the ladder before tomorrow. ”

Duncan David looked at her with a new gaze, and said with a little emotion after half a ring.

"Miss Edward, you're actually better than I thought...... In this situation, you can still stay calm, which is embarrassing. ”

The compliment from a friend of the opposite sex made the girl a little uncomfortable, and she smiled and shook her head.

"If you want to serve the school as a leader in the future, this level is not enough. Like my friend Miss Miller, it takes all aspects to be the right-hand man of the wizarding leader. I'm too far away from her. ”

She's not just saying polite things.

Silky is Willett's best friend and the target she has been chasing for a long time.

Calm, intelligent, shrewd, and discerning with keen observations...... If this kind of person is too sharp, it is easy to make people disgusted, but Shi Kodi's words and deeds are always just right, not only will not make people feel annoying, but it is easier to fight for favor.

The young man's expression became slightly strange.

"What's wrong?"

"No, you're right."

He sighed slightly.

"Miss Miller is indeed the best wizard of the younger generation above the Magic Tower, and everyone else will only be overshadowed by her."

The brief conversation ended, and they began to clear the piles of corpses once more.

……

The work of exorcising evil spirits was not as hard as she had imagined.

Originally, Villett's idea was that she thought that the dark wizard who was driving the demons behind the scenes was them, so she would mobilize a large army to surround and intercept them.

If that were the case, even if they retreated here, the fragile line would still be under unimaginable pressure. The Dark Wizard is likely to gather an army of walking corpses to besiege this place, and even if they can make continuous substitutions, everyone's magic and physical strength will probably be quickly depleted in the process...

But now, it seems, her fears have not materialized.

The man who manipulated the demons - it seems that his or her purpose was only to control the entire underbelly, so he or she would have the walking dead gather and kill or drive away all the enemies they could see on the streets, presumably for the same reason that they had been chasing before.

If you don't have a hot head and go head-to-head with the other party, the dark wizard's eyes may not be focused on them.

…… The crux of the matter, however, is that, given the current situation, it is almost impossible for them to break through.

Once they leave the houses and alleys, the number of enemies they encounter and the intensity of the battles increases dramatically. Every time you push a street forward, you quickly get to the point where you get to the point where you can't get along.

From the afternoon to the evening, they tried several times, but none of them succeeded, and they were just wasting their time and energy. The frustration that comes with failure is inevitable. Everyone's face was gloomy and irritated.

It wasn't until sunset that the demons' offensive momentum gradually slowed down.

Wellett guessed that it was because the dark wizard who was manipulating them behind the scenes was preparing to rest. The Walking Dead can kill people endlessly, but the manipulators are just as human as they are.

It was supposed to be the best chance, but unfortunately, her companions were also exhausted from the rotation and did not have the strength to go any further.

The witch had wanted to urge them to keep fighting, so that they could survive; But Duncan Davy stopped her. He said that the current situation is indeed no longer suitable for continuing to try to break through.

Alone with her flying skills, Willett quietly went to the outskirts of the street to reconnoitre, and found that the closer she got to her destination, the greater the number of demons; And in the wide plaza located under the ladder, there are countless walking corpses staggering together, undulating like waves on the sea, which looks magnificent.

The demons were layered and rubbed shoulders like they were holding a grand banquet.

The witch realized that in the current state of her companions, it was indeed impossible to rush into the encirclement of the corpse tide and then retreat, so in the end she could only choose to give up helplessly.

"Tomorrow, we can only wait until tomorrow to see if there is a turnaround......"

Returning to the blacksmith's shop, Villerite sighed softly as she looked at a few of her companions who were already asleep on the floor.

What if the situation still doesn't improve tomorrow? She knew that except for herself and Duncan David, everyone else was looking forward to the ethereal "rescue", so she could maintain a relatively optimistic attitude; But I can't do it if I know the truth.

Sometimes being too rational is not always a good thing, especially in times of adversity, when leaders who know everything often have to bear a burden that is far heavier than others. Since four hours ago, Violet's slender eyebrows have been tightly furrowed and never let go.

"Go and rest for a while."

Duncan said to him.

"But ......"

Willett, of course, couldn't sleep as peacefully as everyone else did. In addition to hurrying to recover her magic through meditation, she also had to find a way to arrange a series of guards near the blacksmith's shop. This is a must for every official wizard before mastering the AoE Barrier spell.

"It doesn't matter. Just now, taking the opportunity of the retreat of these monsters, I have cleared the surrounding area again, and I have erected a 'barrier'. ”

Villette looked up the window and saw a faint halo of blue electric light covering one end of the alley and enclosing everything as far as the eye could see.

The girl blinked, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Of course she could recognize the way the magic came from.

- "Electromagnetic barrier".

Not only can it make invading enemies enter a state of paralysis that cannot move, or even be charred by electricity, but it can also provide a warning effect for wizards who cast spells, which is a very useful spell.

But what really surprised her was that the level of range barrier magic was invariably above level five. If the other party can use an electromagnetic barrier, it means that he ......

"You're already a High Wizard?"

Duncan Davy smiled and nodded, his tone light and light, as if to say a trivial thing that was not worth mentioning.

"I just broke through two days ago."

After a moment of silence, a smile appeared on Violet's face.

"Congratulations."

"Thank you. In addition......"

Duncan seemed to hesitate for a moment before whispering.

"Don't worry, Miss Edward, I think you'll catch up soon."

"Well, it's okay, I don't care."

The long fringed blonde hair swayed slightly in the wind with the movement of the girl's head.

"That's good. Next, you go to the back bedroom and rest for a while. If there is any accident, I will let you know in time. ”

Villette nodded at him and turned away from the window.

……

As the only female member of the team, it is naturally convenient at such a time. Instead of sleeping together like everyone else, she stayed alone in the back bedroom.

Violet lay on her dirty bed, staring silently into the silence of the darkness.

The words of Duncan Davy a few minutes ago, and what was vaguely revealed in his demeanor, came back to mind clearly. He tried very hard to hide it, but the girl could still feel it, a high-minded, almost pitiful gaze...... It was something she couldn't forget for a long time.

"Sure enough, I ......"

She bit her lip tightly, and there was a faint blankness and bitterness between her lips and teeth.
