"Maggie!" Ash shouted, blocking everyone in his back.

She was answered by a series of painful coughs.

As bad as it sounds, the latter is at least alive for now.

"Your reaction is quick, transcendent. The devil showed a look of regret peculiar to humans, "If it weren't for your sword, she would have died without pain." But you do this, except to perpetuate the torture she has suffered, there is no point. ”

It may not be a coincidence that Maggie was chosen as the first target - looking into the other person's eyes, Andrea suddenly realized that this was probably a deliberate move. When it comes to fighting alone, Maggie can play an extremely limited role, but as the only witch who can lead everyone out of the predicament, once she gets rid of it first, the others will be cut off.

She bit her lip and glanced back, only to see that the bone spear was right in Maggie's shoulder, and the blood that had soaked out had stained her clothes red. Probably hurt her lungs, Maggie's breath was very weak, and blood foamed from the corners of her mouth from time to time, and if the ash hadn't picked it up, it was afraid that it had pierced the witch's heart.

However, she was seriously injured to this extent, and even if she was not dead, it was impossible for her to control her abilities and maintain the magic ark stably.

But how did the other party know Maggie's ability?

"You're the eyes of humanity, aren't you? If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been driven to this point by the rain of fire. The Demon Slayer's next words tore the last of her luck to shreds — the other man pointed at Sylvie before turning to Andrea, "And you should be the marksman." Fearful abilities may not have been much four hundred years ago, but now they may be even more tricky than the transcendental, but fortunately, you have finally come together. ”

With that, it stretched out its right hand and pressed it to its chest, "Allow me to introduce myself - my name is Ersluk, the commander of this expedition, and your mourner. ”

There is no doubt that this is a premeditated trap.

Andrea's face became more and more difficult to look at.

Since when did demon slayers become equated with raging mana fluctuations?

That's right...... Since the other party went around to the north of the Hidden Forest and ran for more than ten miles to attack the leaves, its eye-catching features have been remembered by everyone.

In fact, it goes back a little bit further.

When Lightning first encounters the Demon Slayer, he describes feeling a powerful magic that feels like a substance. If it's so powerful, isn't it a matter of course that it can be caught by the Magic Eye from a distance away?

And in the ensuing long grappling, the other party continued to strengthen this impression, exposing his whereabouts to Sylvie's surveillance, which also convinced everyone of this.

But all of this is just an illusion created by the demon slayer.

It used itself as bait to draw everyone's eyes to the stage.

- Was it preparing for today from the very beginning?

Even if the enemy sensed the existence of Sylvie and himself through the battle of Wangbeipo and decided to get rid of it quickly, in order to lay a trap, this high-ranking devil who called himself Ersluk actually lost Taqira and buried thousands of devils on the fertile plains! If it was cruel and ruthless, and did not care about the lives of its men, what about the ruins of the Holy City? Without the Divine Stone Vein, they would not be able to build an obelisk, which means that in the next four hundred years, the devil will completely lose the opportunity to touch the fertile plains, and if this is counted as a price, it is inevitably a little too big!

Do they really deserve the enemy's actions?

Andrea's mind was in a state of confusion, and she couldn't figure it out, but it was Sylvie who asked the crucial question.

“...... Why? Tachira should be much more important than we are, right?"

The demon slayer unexpectedly didn't do it immediately, but shook his head slightly, "I can't tell you. ”

"Can't you even think about the answer before you die?"

"But you're not dead yet. There was a hint of sneer in Ersluk's tone, "Even in a cage, you haven't given up, have you?"

What is it waiting for?

Are you waiting for the throwing stone to fully recover......

But its arms showed no signs of wilting.

Either way, this was an opportunity - Andrea swallowed, judging from the results of the last encounter, Ash could only temporarily hold the demon slayer back, and her magic power was not much left, and together it could not increase the win rate to more than fifty percent. Not to mention Sylvie, Camilla, and Maggie, who will only make the odds lower.

The only breakthrough is in the lightning.

She hasn't shown her head so far, which means that she has noticed an anomaly, and if she can guide the Seagull to come to their aid, they may be able to turn defeat into victory!

Instead of forcing your hand now, ask more questions to stall for time!

Originally, she had a lot of doubts in her head that she wanted to ask.

Thinking of this, Andrea looked at the demon slayer and whispered, "I don't understand...... Even if we are attracted by the illusion, it is impossible to ignore an enemy who is hovering nearby. We've clearly checked our surroundings before we shoot - it's almost impossible to get there from Tachira, so where are you hiding?"

"During this six months, we dug many underground passages, but not at the front line, but behind Tachira. Ersluk replied unhurriedly, "The entrance to the passage is located in the Divine Stone Mining District, which is difficult to find in itself, and these forks are buried very deeply, so it is normal for you to ignore them. It looked up at the sky, "Humans have been monitoring this area, right? Not to mention that you haven't let your guard down along the way, and you can see all the wind and grass on the surface, and it is this appearance of safety that makes you step into the trap in a daze." ”

Is there a passage around here?Andrea felt a vague sense of unease, "Even if you hide underground, you're just hiding yourself." It's not easy to find us in such a large area, and we've changed positions many times these days, how do you see us?"

"It is not that I have seen you, but that you have seen me. The Demon Slayer suddenly showed a hideous smile, "By the way, I saw more than one person before...... What about the flying little one, and if you have a backhand, you should have arrived, right?"

Andrea fell into an ice cave in an instant.

"When you see it, it sees you" - this is the characteristic of the Vigilant Eye Demon, could it be that he shot a Thousand-Eyed Demon himself, but its body should be much larger than that of the Demon Slayer, or did Ersluk have given the flying devil some of the Eye Demon abilities by some means?

But none of that mattered anymore, and she now fully understood where the previous uneasiness came from.

Since there is a hidden underground passage, how can it be that only the demon slayer is hidden?

The enemy didn't make a move, but it was the reinforcements that came to the rescue—it wanted to kill them all.

Just then, several grenades whizzed out of the woods and headed straight for Ersluk's side!

The latter flew straight up and effortlessly dodged the raid, the grenade unabated, and burrowed headlong into the woods, causing a violent explosion.

Before the scorching heat subsided, a barrage of gunfire followed, enveloping the Demon Slayer's location.

Ersluk was forced to rise again, and a burst of blue light flashed over him.

"It's the Witch of Divine Punishment!" Sylvie said delightfully.

"You're alright!" Zoe was the first to burst out of the shadows of the trees, blocking between the enemy and the ambush team, followed by seven other witches of punishment to protect the group.

"Let's go, we need to get out of here—" But Andrea's heart was already hanging on the line, and she shouted at the others, ignoring explanations.

And at this moment, Ersluk also raised his fist.

There were two muffled sounds of "boom" and "boom" in the distance.

Sylvie's face changed suddenly, no one knew better than her what the voice meant, "Be careful, it's a spider demon!"

In the blink of an eye, the two dark stone pillars had flown above everyone's heads, and with the muffled sound of explosions, dense long needles fell towards the sniper point.

Andrea condensed the last of her magic, accelerated the air in front of her to the limit, and slammed it into the sky—

However, nothing happened, and a black light swept through, shattering the magic that was about to come out.

The Demon Slayer has unleashed the Forbidden Demon Realm!

Elena, who was closest to her, jumped and rushed to the nearby tree with her in her arms.

Everything happens in an instant.

Andrea felt as if she was flying, and the world was spinning, and when she hit the ground, she realized that she had lost sensation in her legs. 8)
