Chapter 12: Prologue (3) There is no escape
"Eldest sister, we really have to take these guys to act together, not to mention the problem of them dragging us down, but we have to fight, and they are just going to die." Although Helen had a stinky face, she said to the woman in front of her in a respectful tone, even if she showed her disapproval, the deference in her tone did not diminish in any way.
"Hailun, can you leave these people behind and leave them to fend for themselves?" Before the blonde woman who Helen called her eldest sister could reply, the big sword beside her had already spoken.
"Divi, they're just humans, of course I ...... Of course......" Helen stinked and tried to hold the muscles on her face to look vicious, but in the end she couldn't say anything vicious.
"They're humans, we're greatswords, so we're going to protect them and that's it." The eldest sister, whom Helen respectfully called the eldest sister, said in a flat tone, ending the brief complaint before, but the real problem remained.
"Sister Miria, although Helen is talking some nonsense, but we have encountered too many demons along the way, in this case, even if those humans who follow us can reach the fortress, it is a dead end, and I am afraid that there will be more demons in the fortress, we ......"
"Now we have no other choice, after all, we were temporarily called to participate in the battle, and we didn't bring a reserve team, if we let them leave by themselves, judging from the current number of demons in the Northland, none of them can leave, so let's wait until the fortress and send a reserve team to take them away."
Although this is explained, there is no relaxed look in Miria's eyes, after arriving at the fortress, send a reserve team to take them away, but can you really send a reserve, let alone a reserve team can take away these civilians, the demons that continue to appear now have indicated that all this is just an extravagant hope.
"Too many demons." Unlike Divi and Helen, Miria had investigated the organization and demons to a certain extent for some reason, so she knew that the demons they were calling were definitely not the demons that existed on this continent, but were created.
As for the existence of some demons on this continent, but their number is extremely rare, it is only a legendary existence, it is said that they feed on people, it is said that they can obtain human wisdom through cannibalism, and it is said that they have extremely powerful power, and humans cannot be enemies with them at all.
Such a legendary demon is definitely not the demon that the organization says, if it is to be said to be close, it should be the abnormal appetite that the organization says, at least the abnormal appetite whose combat power can be compared with some awakened people is more in line with the statement that they have extremely powerful power.
And if your own investigation is correct, the demon is only afraid that it was created and created by the organization.
"But where did these demons come from?" Ever since discovering the anomaly in the Northlands, Miria has always had the question that these demons in front of her far exceed the number of common sense, if it is indeed possible to create them, but who created them.
"Organization? Or something else? "But whether it's the former or the latter, it's the worst option for the great swords who have arrived in the Northland because of the order now, but the civilians of the Northland can still expect the former, so maybe they still have a chance to live.
And just as Miria is trying to find a glimmer of hope in this desperate reality, a new situation happens.
"Sister, be careful!"
The huge figure pierced through the wind and snow and struck from the sky, and the strong demonic aura brought a terrifying impact, and in just an instant, the ground exploded, and the snowflakes splashed and drowned Miria's figure.
No, it wasn't Miria, it was just a phantom left in the same place, and the real Miria had already made a detour behind the attacker, with a great sword with a silver light, and wanted to cut off the head.
But at that moment, the attacking existence turned around suddenly, and the sharp claws swung down quickly with the power of the turn, although it had not yet made contact, but according to the current speed and state, at the same time as Miria's great sword slashed the other party, her own body would also be torn apart by the sharp claws.
The phantoms, shredded under the claws were the same as before, they were all phantoms, and the real Miria had already flashed a few steps away from that guy, because at that moment, it was not just the guy who struck.
Something that looks like a mole emerges from the ground, and if Miria is attacking at her own speed, I'm afraid that the place where it appears is at Miria's feet.
"Haha, the current juniors are not bad, but their brains are still as stupid as before!" Saying that, the mole-type awakened person waved his claws behind him, not turning around and waving, but like a character in the anime, his arms ignoring the joint restrictions, like a fan spinning backwards, blocking everything.
Clang!
Helen's attack was rightfully blocked, even if her arm was twisted and extended, attacking from an angle that was difficult to defend against, but when the opponent was able to make a defying move, such an attack was naturally ineffective.
And just when the mole-type awakened person blocked Helen's sneak attack, the previous awakened person also launched an attack, and the fingers stretched out, of course, as an awakened person, its attack will naturally not be just a copy of the general demon, and when its fingers shoot out, the fingers are forked.
It's like a tree grows branches, and new knuckles or tentacles spread out from each finger, and the speed of the tentacles and the speed of growth are like suddenly growing a wall and slapping them.
"Damn it!" Helen retracted her outstretched arm and swung it desperately in front of her, cutting out a tiny gap, and Divi on the side took advantage of this gap to flash over and knock Helen out of the air, as for herself, she was rubbed against the wall, and her arm and the big sword were attacked and flew away from her body.
Burst!
Miria pressed down the greatsword with all her might, but even though she had liberated her demonic power, the greatsword still only slid on the awakened person's body, like slashing on a piece of hard and abnormal wood in the wrong way, although it could be cut in, it was difficult to cut it.
At this moment, the body of this awakened person is completely indistinguishable from the human form, whether it is the outstretched fingers or the body, it seems that if it is a human, it is more correct to say that it is a big tree, especially after the skin on its body has become a brown and rough thing, making it look more like a tree.
"Haha, such an attack is useless to me, your attack is like tickling."
"You!" Miria was startled, and although her attention was still focused on the two awakened beings in front of her, she already felt something else coming.
"Have you completely abandoned the dignity of a warrior?" Sensing other beings coming from the same direction as the Awakened, Miria lashed out at the two Awakened in front of her.
"The dignity of a warrior? Hah, that's something. In the face of Miria's rebuke, a disdainful smile barely appeared on the Tree-Awakened Person's face.
"We're just going to eat, junior, if you don't join us, I can ask the boss to leave you a ranch."
"Damn it!" Needless to ask, for a cannibalistic monster like the Awakened, it is naturally impossible for cattle and horses to be kept in captivity in the pasture.
"Is it any wonder that the Awakened will join forces with demons and intend to completely enslave this continent?" Although my thoughts turned, there was no time to verify.
"Helen, Divi, attack with all your might, and soon a wave of demons will arrive, and we must deal with these guys before then."
"Got it, big sister." "Got it, big sister."
"Why bother, you're not human, why bother fighting for those guys who treat you as monsters, take it easy, just like us, you can easily ......"
Scold!
The pure white sword light slashed down, interrupting the chatter of the awakened.
"Because I'm the Great Sword." The silver vertical pupils widened, and the swollen veins destroyed the delicate face, like the existence of a demon, wielding a great sword and slashing at the demon.
