Chapter 5: Under the Great Wall

The black figure shuttled at a speed that was difficult for mortals to see, letting go of all restraints, and returning to his own speed of time, which was already very different from that of ordinary people, Ian only felt an incomparable sense of pleasure!

Although the flow of time in the outside world still seems to be so slow, it is undoubtedly much better than the slow speed of action that you have to cooperate with. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In fact, even at the speed at which humans react far beyond the normal human cognition, to Ian is nothing more than jogging.

Ian, who had searched the vast Northern Lower Regions for three days, now had only two targets left: the Northern Upper Regions and the Purgatory Wasteland outside the Circle.

And now, Ian is aiming for the purgatory wasteland outside the circle.

The Upper City of the Northern Regions, as an area inhabited by nobles and ables, was clearly separated from the Lower City by a wall, and the entire area was heavily guarded and forbidden to non-servant civilians and criminals.

Obviously, as an ordinary civilian, Ian could not have swaggered straight in.

As for sneaking in, wearing a black suit in broad daylight and infiltrating a gathering place full of legends and incredible powers, even if there is a qualitative leap in strength, Ian, who has always been cautious or timid, will obviously not do this kind of death without knowing half of the capable.

As an "assassin" who can only use his best strength in the dark, it is obvious that this kind of place should be visited quietly in the dead of night. It would have been easier to run away then, wouldn't it?

What's more, as a sinner with pure black hair and black eyes, the possibility of Fei'er being in an uptown city that completely rejects or even isolates scolds sinners is infinitely close to zero.

As for the Purgatory Wasteland, although he didn't know how Fei'er used her petite body to carry herself out or throw herself out of the giant wall after knocking herself unconscious, it was obvious that Ian, who had just broken through in strength and was in high spirits, no longer thought that crossing this nearly fifty-meter-high wall was an almost impossible task.

Of course, although he also hoped to get out of the city gate easily, no matter what he thought, the guards guarding the city gate would not be able to open the heavy steel gate once because of a mortal boy who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, and had a hot head and wanted to go out of the circle to die.

As for how to find Phil in the vast, demon-infested Purgatory Wasteland after getting out, in Ian's slightly frustrated words, it is:

"At this time, isn't it just a matter of doing your best to obey the fate of heaven?"

The pessimistic teenager quickly avoided the crowd settlement, found a secluded suburb, and challenged the huge wall nearly fifty meters high.

"Isn't the giant wall there yet?" Camilla, who was running, felt infinite remorse, and behind her, hundreds of demons with slender limbs, two horns, and red bodies were chasing after her with a strange "cluck" scream.

As the only high aristocratic academy in the Northern Regions City, the second-year strength of the Albert High Academy's capable department ranked first, and she was exceptionally required to participate in the out-of-circle trials that only students in the third year and above could participate, she of course knew that what was chasing her at the moment was the lowest level of inferior demons on the periphery of the Purgatory Wasteland.

There is no special classification of this kind of demon, it is just a demon nascent-like existence, and it is not even a lower demon. However, in any case, she could not have imagined that this monster, which was called the weakest demon in the textbooks, could be so difficult to deal with when its number exceeded a certain limit!

"Damn! a few are fine, but there are too many of them!"

Looking sideways behind her, seeing the dense figures behind her, Camilla became more and more desperate.

Originally, at the beginning of the trial, the young girls who were still complacent about the fact that everyone had worked together to kill the demons relied on their status as noble children and ignored the persuasion of the accompanying teacher to go all the way from the edge of the purgatory wasteland, but they were suddenly attacked by a large number of middle and lower demons when they decided to return the day before yesterday!

Several third- and fourth-year students were torn apart the moment they met the enemy, and then the entire trial team fell into extreme despair and panic.

If it weren't for the fact that the civilian-born teacher single-handedly killed several powerful demons at a critical moment, stabilized the team and made correct strategic guidance, the entire trial team that was originally triumphant but now frightened would have been wiped out long ago, and there were no bones left after being swallowed by the demons.

However, even so, the perilous situation has not improved much. Under the leadership of the instructor, the entire trial team kept retreating, and seeing that they could not escape the siege of the demon group from all sides, they had to hide in a temporarily discovered cave in the Longmian Valley.

Although they managed to avoid being besieged from all sides, it was obvious that the demons who kept pouring towards the entrance of the cave could not let them go so easily.

Some of the students who had grown up quickly from the short ordeal began to cooperate with the instructor to take turns to form a defensive line, while some cowardly fellows hugged each other and shivered, refusing to get up no matter how they screamed, as if they were already waiting for death with their eyes closed.

Of course, there are more troublesome guys, and Camilla will never forget the scene where the blonde lady who was so arrogant and conceited that she cried "I want to go home".

Seeing that if she continued like this, she would definitely die, and after a brief discussion between her mentor and several students, Camilla, who was able to control the wind and fly at low altitude for a short time, was assigned the task of returning to the Northern Regions to seek rescue from an overseas exploration team or the defenders of the giant wall.

Then, after a short rest, Camilla, who had recovered some mental strength, took advantage of the night under the cover of her mentor and the seniors, slowly rose into the air, and flew south with all her might.

Tearfully biting the last piece of dry food stuffed to her by Senior Sister Sailan, who had been taking care of her before leaving, the girl who knew that she had several lives on her shoulders did not dare to slack off in the slightest, even after exhausting all her mental strength and falling to the ground, she still relied on her slender legs to squeeze out her last physical strength, and kept running south.

It's a pity that the goddess of doom seems to want to torture this poor person, and at the moment when she falls to the ground with all her strength, the mental image closure device that is pinned to her chest to shield her thoughts accidentally breaks.

Losing this important instrument and staying outside the circle full of wandering demons is undoubtedly tantamount to suicide, and the slightest excessive mood swing will attract the demons wandering around. Camilla, who had been running for a while to find out about this situation, felt like crying, but by the time she quickly let go of her frustration, it was too late.

Nearly a hundred inferior demons have already swarmed like cats that smell fish.

This situation made the girl almost want to cry in despair!

As the leader of the same grade in the academy, if the girl is in good condition at the moment, her strength is enough to free herself from the entanglement of these nearly a hundred inferior demons.

But for Camilla, who has almost exhausted all her strength now, not to mention the wind blade that is enough to cut through the body of an inferior demon, I am afraid that the air flow brought by the wave of her hands when she runs at this moment is stronger than the breeze created by the power of the only remaining mental image.

She didn't know how long she had been running, all she knew was that she had set out in the dark and that it was dawn. Her limbs had long been numb, her vision was getting more and more foggy, and her head had become dazed due to lack of oxygen.

"Why, why haven't you seen the giant wall, it's too late, it's too late, Teacher Adolf, Senior Sister Selan!"

The demons behind her are getting closer and closer, and the desperate girl screams in her heart, she reluctantly moves forward, but her body, which has long been unable to support herself, has finally reached the limit, and a small stone blocks all the girl's thoughts.

Camilla's mind went blank when she felt her feet stumble and found that she had fallen to the ground.

It's over, it's all over!

She raised her head blankly, and suddenly found that she could already see the spire of the sentry tower on the nearly fifty-meter-high giant wall in the Northern Regions, but she didn't even have the strength to stand up when her destination was close in sight.

"God, why do you want to go so far, obviously, obviously you have already arrived here!"

The huge unwillingness and grief poured into the girl's heart like a tide, and the tears in her eyes could no longer be suppressed, she turned her head blankly, and saw that the demon led by the demon group behind her had jumped high and gradually enlarged in front of her eyes.

With a high-pitched, piercing roar, the demon's slender claws almost touched the tip of the girl's nose!

Is this my last?

Inevitably, such a thought flashed through the girl's heart.

However, knowing that she was about to be torn apart by the demon in front of her, the most intense feelings that emerged in the girl's heart were not fear and despair, but strong unwillingness and self-blame.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Adolf. I'm sorry, Sister Selan. ”

The girl slowly closed her eyes, covering up all her unwillingness and regret, everything seemed to have left her, and the world became silent in an instant.

And in this silence, the girl who closed her eyes and waited for the end to come, did not wait for the severe pain she imagined.

There was a faint moan in her ear.

It was the soft groan of the sword.

Although she didn't open her eyes again, Camilla's heart was extremely sure.

It must be the light groan of the sword!

Her eyes opened slightly, and through the blurred tears, she saw a vague figure quickly approaching her and half-kneeling in front of her after swinging her sword to slash the last demon's head.

"Please... Save-save-"

"It's okay, don't worry, you're saved!" a deep and incomparably gentle male voice sounded in her ears, and Camilla seemed to faintly see a knight of an overseas exploration team in her confusion.

The girl, who had hallucinated because of her mission, hurriedly grabbed the man's clothes with trembling hands with her trembling hands with the last remaining will, forcing herself to open her dry lips and make that hoarse voice.

"No, it's not... I, please. Please, help, them, north, north ... ”

After saying this, the girl fainted as if she had lost all her strength at once.

Hearing the girl's last words, Ian, who was holding her, looked across the demon corpses all over the ground and looked to the north.

He frowned tightly.
