"What, are you still holding on?"

Wendy pursed her mouth with her slender fingers:

"Hear me, she's coming for me, you're here to disturb our warm meeting."

Delia's tail turned twice and said in a muffled voice:

"You have to take care of it!"

"Wendy?"

Natsu seemed to have discovered this huge space, and flew over at full speed from the air, just in time to see the two people below.

"Delia is there too? Could it be that she rescued Wendy! ”

Seeing the werewolf princess, Xia's tense strength suddenly relaxed, and her body became a little soft, and she fell to Wendy's side, hugging her body tightly.

"Hug, hug too tightly......"

Wendy was hugged hard in her arms, the room on her face was gone, and she looked very embarrassed, and complained in a low voice.

But Xia didn't pay attention to her complaints, and still hugged her, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.

Feeling her enthusiasm, Wendy's body was also a little weak, but seeing the unhappy look on Di Liya next to her, her eyes rolled, she stretched out her arm and hugged Xia back, patted her back gently, and looked at Di Liya with provocative eyes.

"Scared-"

Deria's fur exploded and threatened her.

"Are you alright...... It's just wonderful. ”

Natsu's eyes were a little moist, and she buried her face in her neck and said.

Wendy's perception is very keen, and she can detect that the other party's feelings are sincere, which makes her mood a little complicated.

"You should be concerned about the original owner of this body, not me, the guy hiding inside her."

She thought silently in her heart.

At this time, I saw Xia let go of her, turned around and walked towards Delia, and hugged the wolf girl:

"Thank you, Deria...... Thank you for saving Wendy. ”

"Huh? That one...... I didn't have ......"

Delia doesn't seem to be good at lying, and when she was suddenly hugged by her, her eyes were very surprised, and her voice was a little unfavorable.

But seeing Wendy's expression, a smug smile gradually appeared on her face, and she changed her words:

"Yes, I did save the blonde hair, she's too weak, and she smells like her......"

"Huh?"

Hearing her words, Xia looked at Wendy in surprise:

Wendy did look too weak in front of Delia, she understood the first half of the sentence, but ...... Wendy's body doesn't seem to stink, does it?

"You stupid wolf, are you looking for death!"

The red light that Wendy had deliberately hidden came back on, and said viciously.

"Wendy, why does the relationship between the two of you seem weird, did you just happen?"

Xia stretched out his hand, pulled both of them to his side, and asked suspiciously.

“……”

“……”

The two men were all silent, and neither of them spoke.

"Wendy, what's wrong with your hand?"

Natsu only then noticed that Wendy's arm was oozing blood, which looked like a scrape.

"You should ask the wolf girl."

Wendy snorted through her nose.

"Deria?"

A thought popped up in Xia's heart: It couldn't be that Deliya was too rude when she saved people and hurt her, right?

"It's okay, I've got the medicine with me."

Xia rummaged through her pocket, pulled out a small medical agent, and wanted to rub it on her arm, Wendy put her hand behind her back, and smiled reluctantly:

"Don't forget that I'm a magician, this little injury will heal soon......"

"Hahaha-"

Delia suddenly stood there and laughed:

"If you can use magic spells, why don't you use one for me now? Hahaha...... I'm laughing at me. ”

Wendy grimaced and didn't speak.

"Deria, don't say that, she should be very tired, so she doesn't want to use magic skills."

Xia saw that she insisted on refusing to take the medicine, and the injury was indeed very light, so she let her go, said Di Liya softly, and then said to the two:

"Everybody's good...... Good...... Good sisters, at such a moment, we must unite and face difficulties together; Don't be unhappy because of a little thing, no matter what happened just now, it's all over now, you two don't have to make any more trouble, okay? ”

As he spoke, he put their hands together.

"Huh!"

The hands of the two had just touched one place, and they retracted like an electric shock.

“…… It stinks to death. ”

Delia turned her back, touched her hand, and said through gritted teeth.

“…… Wash your hands well today. ”

Wendy's face darkened as well, and she took out a handkerchief to wipe the back of her hand.

"I said you two......"

Xia wanted to continue to persuade, but suddenly Stephanie said in her mind:

"Master, look at the jewel around Wendy's neck, if I'm not mistaken, it's an artifact."

Artifact?

Natsu looked at Wendy's white neck and saw that it was a green gem, but the surface of the gem had no luster at all, and it looked inconspicuous.

"Master, there are also here! And it's also a high-grade artifact. ”

Stephanie flew above the giant monster's head, her eyes shining, "Of course it's still inferior compared to me......"

"Is it this sword?"

Xia saw the sword on the monster's head for the first time, and his eyes were immediately attracted to it.

The sword looked very beautiful, the slightly wider blade faintly shining in the dark, and it should be sharp; And there is a huge gem on the hilt of the sword, I don't know what grade.

――You can make a lot of money just digging up that gem and selling it, right?

"No, master, the sword is good, but it is not up to the standard of an artifact, I am talking about the monster's forehead."

Stephanie pointed to the diamond-shaped, mirror-like crystal.

"This thing is weird."

Natsu just glanced at it and felt a little uncomfortable.

It was only after using the psychic sensation that this uncomfortable feeling disappeared.

"Let's go and have a look."

Glancing at the two of them, who showed no signs of reconciliation, Natsu decided to give up the work of persuasion for the time being, and flew above the monster's head with a wave of his wings.

"Is this a statue? It looks so realistic. ”

She looked at the diamond-shaped crystal on the monster's forehead, ignored it, and reached out to the sword.

"Hehe, don't you want to stop her? You're going to fail in your mission. ”

Wendy threw the handkerchief on the ground and said maliciously.

"To ...... You have to take care of it! ”

Deria's heart lifted, but her mouth was stubborn.

She watched Xia pull out the sword happily, and picked the gem on it twice with her hand, but it didn't seem to move; Then he put the sword in his waist.

“…… Forget it, since she likes it, take it. ”

Seeing her happy expression, Delia decided that she would not be on her mission.

"Anyway, this time it was the client who played me first, and even if I fail, I shouldn't be ashamed."

She was muttering to herself.

"Master, leave that sword alone, quick, get this thing out!"

Stephanie flew around Natsu's side and said anxiously.

"Got it, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

Xia said dissatisfiedly.

"Master, my feeling can't be wrong, this mirror should be related to the whereabouts of the God Fragment, at least it will be an important clue!"

Stephanie said excitedly.

It's true?

Xia sent a psychic sensation and set his eyes on the top of the diamond-shaped mirror, and sure enough, he found something abnormal about this thing.

“…… I seem to ...... Something was seen inside. ”

She frowned and leaned her face over.

"Master, I can't look at it yet!"

Stephanie suddenly grabbed her:

"This thing should be a prophetic artifact, and it often requires very strict conditions to activate it, in case it is the kind of condition that consumes life or sacrifices souls, it will be bad, and when we find Agnes and the others to study together, maybe we can find some clues."

Although she herself has a wealth of knowledge, after all, she has been sleeping for a long time, and she is not necessarily better than those magicians who specialize in studying this.

"Okay then."

Xia retracted his head:

"But how do you take this thing down, do you dig it like this?"

"Master, didn't you just get a sword? Just pry this mirror out with it. ”

Stephanie had an idea.

Xia took out the sword and inserted it in the gap between the diamond-shaped mirror and the monster's forehead, and just wanted to exert force, but was suddenly pulled by the black-clothed Lori again.

"What the hell are you up to?"

She looked at Stephanie disapprehantly.

"The host...... I seem to feel that something is wrong. ”

Stephanie looked at the monster's head in a daze, always feeling a little familiar.

"Something is wrong, isn't this just a statue? Are you still afraid that it will not survive? ”

Xia said angrily.

"Master, this is ...... Space-time demons! ”

Stephanie's voice suddenly trembled:

"It's not a statue at all, it's a demon! This demon's name was Astalous, and he was the twenty-ninth of Solomon's Seventy-Two Pillars of Demons, and was originally an angel who was sent to hell by God for teaching humans laziness......"

At this time, the two people over there noticed that Xia's situation was a little strange, and they kept dancing in the air, so they also followed below.

Probably because of the fear of Xia becoming suspicious, Wendy didn't fly, and Di Liya couldn't fly herself, the two stood on the ground and watched for a while, almost at the same time, their bodies shook, they looked at each other, and seemed to have found something.

"Hey, stupid wolf, you said you came here to complete the mission, could it be that someone tricked you?"

Wendy whispered to Deria.

"You, how do you know?"

The wolf girl suddenly felt a little gloomy.

"You're a blizzard princess, right? Should the name be Delia? ”

Wendy fixed her eyes on the mirror of truth in front of the demon's forehead and muttered:

"I'm afraid this time...... I really want to thank you. ”

"What? Suddenly saying such a thing, disgusting to death! ”

Seeing her posture suddenly become lower, Delia felt uncomfortable.

"Didn't you notice? The location of that mirror. ”

Wendy swiped her hand in the air, the red light of her fingers flickering, and a glowing pattern appeared in the darkness.

"What is this, brain?"

The wolf girl squinted at the pattern and said.

“…… Never mind. ”

Wendy realized that talking to this brainless guy was an idiot to the extreme, and ignored her.

At this time, Xia in the air heard Stephanie's words, but he was a little unimpressed:

"What kind of angel demon, didn't you say that your previous master was the strongest and was the top level in the continent? Where did you get so many rumors about gods and demons......"

As she spoke, she put one foot on the monster's face and thrust her sword hard into the side of the diamond-shaped mirror, priing it up.

"Don't, master!"

"-Don't!!"

Stephanie and Wendy shouted at the same time.

"Huh? Isn't it just a mirror, and we'll study its use together in a while......"

Natsu thought that Wendy was worried that she was going to keep things to herself, and explained to her.

At that moment, her foot on the monster's face suddenly shook and nearly knocked her off it.

"What's going on?"

She spread her wings and floated in the air, her face a little cloudy, looking at the hideous face.

Just now...... She seemed to see the face move.

"Smack."

A crack cracked in the demon's pitch-black body.

At this time, even Di Liya felt that something was wrong, because the statue-like monster in front of her was originally like a dead thing, without any breath on its body, but now it suddenly emitted an extremely strong sense of oppression!

"Click......"

Its body began to vibrate, and the crack that had been cracked quickly expanded, and finally turned into a huge crack, and the shards kept falling down, and an unbearable stench gradually spread nearby.

"Tick ...... Tick ......"

A large pitch-black shard fell from the demon's face, and the foul-smelling liquid dripped onto the ground, making it look like a dark red bloodstain.

"The whole body is black, the corners of the mouth are bloody, and a foul-smelling poisonous gas is emitted......"

Stephanie's body trembled:

"Master, this demon is coming back to life!"

"Imp! Put the mirror of truth back! ”

Wendy yelled from below.

"What's going on? Is this really a demon! ”

Xia looked at the huge monster in front of him in horror, exuding an ominous aura.

Her reaction was quick, and although she didn't fully understand, she immediately threw it at Wendy's words and threw the lens back in her hand in front of the monster's forehead!

"Ahh

Astaro let out a startled roar and covered his forehead, as if trying to remove the diamond-shaped mirror.

"Master, put your sword back! That sword is supposed to be a type of seal as well. ”

After seeing that the lenses worked, Stephanie steadied herself and shouted to Natsu in her mind.

"Got it!"

Natsu's wings shook violently and flew to the top of the demon's head, and just as she was about to thrust her sword down, the demon suddenly stretched out an arm and grabbed at her body.

This grab was extremely ferocious, bringing out a strong wind, Xia slapped his wings hard, and his body flew into the air, narrowly avoiding its claws.

"Oops, I didn't learn flying skills for a long time, and it's okay to use it for travel, and I'm not used to air combat at all!"

She found herself nimble in the air, a far cry from the fluidity with which Egnes wielded her dark wings.

"Stupid wolf, beat it up quickly, if it breaks the seal, although the two of us can't die, your human imp will definitely be finished!"

Wendy's body emitted a strong dark fluctuation, and now she can't care about hiding her strength, her eyes flashed with terrifying blood, and she released a crimson pillar of light at Astalous!

The red light hit the demon's rough skin, making a snorting sound, and Wendy manipulated the pillar of light to slash to the side, leaving a long mark on it, making the demon's body tremble.

"Stinky vampire, I don't need you to command me!"

There was a clatter of rock shattering from her feet, and she lunged at the demon's head, punching it in the jaw!

"Peng!!"

With a muffled thud, the demon's massive head fell backwards and slammed into the ground, its head embedded in the rocks on the ground.

"You idiot! You knocked it into the ground, how do you get that human imp to stick the sword back! ”

Wendy couldn't help but curse loudly.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Knocked to the ground, Astalo thumped his arms to his side and sat up from the ground, Delia's attack did not break, her body suddenly disappeared, and then appeared on the demon's back with a loud sonic boom, and a uppercut punch hit the back of its hard head, knocking its huge body slightly off the ground, and the top of its head was aimed at the sword in Xia's hand.
