Tinder of the city of Hemtika......

Is it extinguished?

Mia lit the phlogiston lamp in her hand, and the girl who had experienced the fire extinguishing once was no stranger to the darkness in front of her—of course, far from familiar.

Hemtika is special.

Normally, Tinder has an extraordinary attraction to the High Demons, but at the moment when the night falls, Hemtika, who has lost the protection of Tinder, has a very limited attraction to them, although it cannot be ruled out that the natural aversion to the living prompted them to launch an offensive against the lower areas, but this number is ...... It's not normal.

Too much.

In less than half a day, she encountered several high-level demons one after another, even if she was just an ignorant madman, if it was one-on-one, she was still at an overwhelming disadvantage - the reason why she was able to maintain her combat power relatively intact after several encounters and several life-and-death battles was actually very simple.

- She is not fighting alone.

To unite with those who harbor hostile intentions, in exchange for the day before, she will not even hesitate for half a point, and will directly strangle this possibility in infancy. But the current situation has become so bad that if we don't unite all the forces that can be united, the entire lower district will be reduced to a hunting ground for the high-level demons to hunt, and everyone ...... At least all ordinary people are not immune to death.

This was unacceptable to the maiden, and in any case, she did not want to see the tragedy of Nathaniel repeated in Hemtika. For this reason, even if you join forces with those with ill intentions in the dice house, with the artificial demons who were once enemies, and even with real demons, you will not hesitate!

This was her decision.

The sword from the Order was held on the ground with his sword, and in between battles, he relaxed his muscles a little and adjusted the rhythm of his breathing and heartbeat.

It's a bit of a busy, right?

If Amy Ulysses was here, she would probably sigh like this, but Mia would not have the idea of "slacking off" at all, she just started to cope with the next long and high-intensity battle, and soothed her body as much as possible that was on the verge of the red line in all aspects, so that she could adjust her physical condition to the peak as much as possible in the limited time.

But mental distress is inevitable.

In the absence of stimulation, no matter how strong the girl's will is, it will inevitably fall into deep fatigue due to the tiredness of the body, but ...... She didn't dare to fall asleep, the old man who called himself Michelangelo gathered the last survivors here with his action and appeal, and succeeded in mobilizing the dice house and the house of the lost to build this last line of defense with her, but even if everyone tried their best, they still couldn't erase the huge difference in strength between us and the enemy- There were too many high-level demons pouring into the lower districts, and the side she was responsible for alone encountered five high-level demons in just half a day, although they could not be compared to the murderers she had encountered before because of their lack of intelligence, they were still extremely tricky enemies, which greatly consumed her physical strength and energy.

"Will it hold on, Mia?"

Beside her, Sashaman, dressed in white robes, asked with concern.

"Well," the greeting from his companion made the sword-wielder realize his gaffe, and he pulled himself together again, and looked at the apostle of the dice house with pale blue eyes, yes, the apostle of the dice house—there was no point in hiding it now, it would only tie her hands and feet, so the mature beauty who approached her in the name of a doctor confessed her identity at the first moment of meeting, and invited her to join Michelangelo's defense. ”

Concise and concise reply.

Sashaman's face did not show a surprised expression, and the apostle of the dice house only sighed softly at the girl's stubbornness: "Okay, I see—but please do what you can, the root of the problem is in the upper area, in the extinguishing of the fire, if the situation over there has not improved, with your current mental state, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive a new round of strong attacks by the high demons." ”

"I know. ”

Mia bit her lip and let it bleed red blood—all she could do now was maintain the clarity of consciousness with pain in order to continue in this hopeless battle.

But even so, for how long?

The girl didn't know the answer, or she knew, but refused to admit it.

Because the truth is sometimes too cruel.

- Here it is.

The sword-wielder didn't have time to delve deeper, but the oppression that came from not far away and approached with great speed made her restrain her thoughts, and she pulled her silver-white greatsword almost as high as her from the ground, and stared into the distance with emerald green eyes, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Then, the wind picked up.

The shades on the green belt on both sides of the road swayed, and the frenzied wind that was deliberately stirred up made many patrol members who were responsible for guarding and assisting in the defense subconsciously protect their eyes with their hands, thus missing the only opportunity to witness the death that took their lives.

It was a hideous monster with a blue-gray body, its body curled up and couched together like a child, and it could vaguely recognize its human form, but behind it was a huge bat wing full of barbs, and the restless and swaying snake tail under it, and the terrifying and ferocious face like a hellish ghost, so that people could know at a glance that it was some kind of monster that was very different from humans and could never live with humans.

- High Demons.

Without any hesitation or hesitation, before the blood of the patrol members spilled out, the girl had already met this terrible monster that was half a body taller than her.

Swing the sword –

With a powerful sword falling, the sword-wielder activated the stigma, endured the pain of his body, and strengthened his power again.

"Boom!"

Of course, under a sword, the entire ground with the murderous demon as the center sinks!

But Mia didn't have the slightest smile on her face, she was still gloomy and terrifying - even if she didn't have a sense of battle, she didn't have the corresponding ability to think, but the fighting instinct that lurked in the body of a high-level demon was extraordinary, and in the moment of life and death, the demon with bat wings and snake tails faced each other with sharp claws.

The sonorous sound resounded in the sky.

Then, the blood-red pupils shrank slightly.

- Walk quickly.

Through the chakras, it activates its talents.

For a moment, the figure of the High Demon disappeared from the sword-wielder's field of vision, and when it reappeared, it had already appeared behind her like a ghost, looking down condescendingly, opening its bloody mouth at an angle of almost 180 degrees, and the foul-smelling mucus trickled down the jagged interlaced canine teeth, without making a single sound, like the most cunning predator, aimed at the girl's head, biting off!

"Click—"

With a tooth-aching crash, the bat-winged snake-tailed demon bit into the air.

However, Mia's situation was just as bad, although she sensed the malice from behind her in time, and almost avoided the enemy's attack with a fishy wind, but the hasty response was not perfect after all, not only did her already very sleepy body show signs of shutting down again, but also lost a valuable opportunity.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the demon is approaching step by step.

The girl, who was already at a loss in terms of physical fitness, retreated again and again, although it seemed that she was only slightly inferior in the confrontation, but only she knew what an unfavorable situation she was in now.

Instead of being like a flat boat in a storm with the attack of the high demons, even if the battle-hardened sword-wielder is physically and mentally exhausted, under the double persecution of death and responsibility, there is still no danger of defeat in a short period of time - what really makes her unreassured is actually the possible reinforcements of the enemy - after the fire is extinguished, for some unknown reason, the high demons entrenched in the misty area not only did not leave, but swarmed towards the lower area like sharks smelling blood.

So drag on time...... She can't afford to drag it out!

The girl, who clearly recognized this and was sure that she would not be able to inflict heavy damage on the enemy in a short period of time, had a decision in her heart at this moment.

And so—

"Sashaman!"

Without too many words, the two had already developed a certain tacit understanding in the previous cooperation, and almost at the same time as Mia's words fell, the female apostle of the dice house knew her intentions and did not hesitate to make a bold move!

So, from nothing, in the moment of showing hostility, she was exposed to the vision of the higher demons.

The bat-winged snake-tailed demon was wary of the human who suddenly appeared beside it, and in order to deal with this imminent threat, it even fought to eat a few slashes from the sword-wielder, and had to withdraw from its defenses, however...... It's still too late.

Sashaman is like a poisonous snake hidden in the shadows, and the moment she shows her manifestations, the victory or defeat is already revealed.

Blood splattered.

- The frost-white sword that extracted the poison went straight into the body of the high-ranking demon.

It's over.

Another victory.

However, looking at the cheering crowd, Mia's eyes did not have the joy of victory, but only deep weariness.

This time I won by luck, but what about the next time......

Sashaman's ability is to confuse the enemy's five senses, so as to completely conceal her own existence, so if she uses her strong attack as a guise, coupled with the special venom of the dice house, she can give the enemy the most fatal blow at a critical moment.

In the headquarters of the Order in the depths of the night, countless sword-wielders have used their lives to warn their juniors:

Anyone who dared to underestimate the High Demons died in the end of their arrogance.

Arrogance –

It is the first sin of mankind.

But even so, Mia didn't expect that after the breath of life had faded, the demon who should have died opened his big scarlet eyes like copper bells again!

The sudden change made her subconsciously raise her sword to protect her, but she still ...... Too late.

The claws swing down.

The Apostle of the Dice House, who had let his guard down, flew out upside down like rag dolls, and only after collapsing several houses in a row did he stop castration for a while, and disappeared into a rubble and ruins, not knowing whether he would live or die.

Immediately afterward, the resurrected High Demon locked her in a tyrannical gaze.

- will die.

In just a small moment, the girl confirmed that the future was not so far away.

Then swing the sword.

Because...... Defeat and death are never a reason to give up the fight.

Even if it's death—

She won't let go of her sword-gripping hand either!

This is her realization, the consciousness of Mia Windwhisperer!

And then

In the midst of the incredible dazzling, she saw the light—

The dark canopy was torn out of a huge gap, and the ancient city, which was as magnificent as the temple of the gods in ancient legends, broke through the sky from the other side of the sea of clouds!

The King's Presence -
