Late at night.

Leon woke up suddenly from his sleep, and he breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the quiet and peaceful scene around him.

He sat for a long time before he used the Cleansing Ring to dispel the cold sweat from his body, and he had a nightmare.

In the dream, the Witches' Forest was invaded by a group of demons with flames haunting them.

The Demon of the Behemoth, which was even greater than Vinci, devastated and shattered the Tyrion Tree.

The sky cracked deep ravines, and between the layers of gray clouds, lava rained down.

The Demon Lord, who was several times taller than the Mountain Giants, commanded his lords and besieged Lady Angelina with a group of white angels.

She could have left, but because of her concern, even the strongest witch in the world had a fatal weakness at this moment.

Lady Angelina's defensive sorcery was shattered layer by layer, and her scarred face was filled with grief.

With all her last strength, she shouted for them to flee and go to Monsieur Dante.

Finally, she fell like a comet.

The world is devastated, lava fills the ravines, volcanic ash fills the sky, and the peaceful paradise is reduced to a real abyss.

The demons who pursued them came one after another, towering giant demons, the black-clad Nasrezm......

As far as the eye could see, there were these ugly and hideous monsters everywhere, and they had no chance of escaping.

He whispered, "It's the end of the world." ”

"I hope that the Abyssal Lord, who controls this world, will continue to adhere to this strategy of 'peaceful evolution', at the very least, until I find a way to escape from here. ”

The laziness in his heart gradually subsided, and he began to reflect on when he actually had the illusion that this place was safe and that he still had plenty of time.

In fact, the lives of all the people in the entire world were held in the hands of that Abyss Lord, who could either let it go or pinch it to death.

He didn't feel sleepy any longer, and took out the long sword that Lady Angelina had given him, and looked at it in front of the bright moon.

The cold light shines on the moon, and it is as cold as frost.

It is a one-handed straight sword with the name "Sword of Victory", with a lake blue gem inlaid in the lattice and a golden pattern on the hilt.

It is said to be the standard sword of the Valkyries of the Norse Valkyries, but it is clearly not comparable to the so-called artifact, because it does not have any special effects such as Ganganir's must-hit, other than being sharp, strong, and timeless.

Probably because the Valkyries, although they are called goddesses, most of them are not even high sequences, right?

But Leon still loved it.

Even women still have women who don't love red clothes and love arms, and who in men doesn't love weapons?

He wiped over and over again the "Sword of Victory" that had gone through an unknown number of years and was still cold.

It is said that the Valkyries were able to use this sword to bestow victory on their favorite warriors, and he wished that his journey would be smooth and troublesome.

As soon as the first light of the next morning dawned, Leon got out of bed, and went to the shade under the giant tree of Tyrion, where he began to perform his Infernal skills for the first time with the Sword of Victory.

Inside the chest, magic surged, penetrating the limbs.

Over and over again, he left countless marks of varying shades on the wooden targets he had erected under the tree.

I don't know how long it took, Lagaia's voice suddenly sounded: "It's really fast, this is what you call Instant Hell?"

Li Ang put away the Sword of Victory and calmed his breath before saying, "Yes, this is the Instant Prison, but I am not yet proficient in it. ”

His mood was a little low, compared to using his bare hands to cast an instantaneous prison, holding a weapon to cast, there were many differences, and there were too many commissions.

During this time, he should have found more time to practice.

Lagaia comforted: "It's already very good, even if I prepare in advance, I'm not sure that I will be able to dodge, if it is an unsuspecting mid-sequence wizard, it is possible that you will be killed by one blow." ”

Li Ang sighed: "Don't comfort me, it's just that the speed is barely up to the mark, if you are prepared in advance, your body is shrouded in defensive witchcraft at any time, and there are witchcraft traps carved around you, how can I touch your side? ”

Lagaia gently touched Leon's hair, revealing a gentle smile like the morning sun at this moment: "Since you realize that you haven't worked hard enough, then you should work harder in the future, you don't need to blame yourself for being lazy yesterday, you just need to work hard for the future." ”

She whispered, "Hurry up, it's time to eat." ”

......

When Lady Angelina led them outside Dante's hut, Dante was already standing under the dead tree waiting.

After they had exchanged salutes, Dante said, "It's getting late, we'll set off at once, and we should be in Syracuse before dusk." ”

Lagaia said, "Mom, why don't you use the rainbow bridge to send us there?"

Dante's hut is located to the west of the Witches' Forest, and it is significantly further from here to Syracuse.

can save the time wasted on the road, Li Ang agrees in his heart.

Lady Angelina looked at Dante and saw him shake his head imperceptibly, so she sneered and said, "Why don't you let me get rid of the demon directly?"

Lagaia naturally heard the mockery implied in this sentence, and snorted lightly.

"I am becoming more and more disappointed in you, Mr. Dante, please make sure that she suffers more on this trip. ”

Dante smiled but said nothing.

Leon said goodbye to Lady Angelina: "Please don't worry about us, we will be back as soon as possible." ”

Lady Angelina rubbed Leon's hair and whispered into his ear, "Take care of your sister, although you are nominally an older sister, you are the only boy in our family, and you know, Lagaia sometimes has a bad head. ”

Li Ang nodded hurriedly: "I will." ”

Ragaya complained, "What, why are you whispering in front of me?"

Lady Angelina raised her eyebrows and snorted, "Let's go, after all these years, I can finally have a day of leisure." ”

Then, Ms. Angelina rode off on the Rainbow Bridge without looking back.

Looking at the angry Lagaia, Leon couldn't help but sigh, Ms. Angelina is really arrogant, she loves her daughter so much, but she always can't help but scold her.

......

They trekked all the way, starting in the morning, and it was almost dusk that they came from the wilderness to a semi-deserted farmland.

The sparse rye, wheat and weeds grow together in the field, and it is almost ripe, but you don't see half of the busy figure in the field.

Li Ang said: "The front is Syracuse. ”

Leon remembered that he had been to the city, after all, Baron Tebery, a vassal of Count Campbell of Syracuse, who was often called up by his lord to fight.

Leon looked at this desolate scene and sighed: "Compared with before, this place is also much more desolate, the Black Death went as far north as Greenland and as far south as Egypt, and the whole world could not escape this disaster. ”

Dante's cold voice sounded: "From now on, I will be invisible to you all the time, and this demon hunt is up to you." ”

With that, Dante's body rippled haze, and gradually disappeared.

Lagaia looked at Leon, raised her smooth chin, and smiled, "It's okay, I'm still here." ”

Li Ang said: "I am already an official demon hunter, I am an expert in dealing with demons, you are responsible for giving me a hand." ”

"Huh-"

As they went, they saw the first building they had seen in a long time, a water-powered mill built on the side of a small bridge, where the commoners milled their wheat flour.

Li Ang frowned slightly: "There is a very strong smell of blood in front. ”

He twitched his nose again and confirmed, "That's right, human blood." ”

This is a sub-skill that comes with the Body of Managarm - Beast Smell.

Lagaia asked, "There's a demon hiding inside?"

Li Ang shook his head: "I didn't perceive the aura of demons, in this world, not only demons can kill." ”

Lagaia said, "Shall we go and see?"

Leon nodded in agreement, then drew the Sword of Victory and led the way.

They didn't notice, or could not perceive, that behind them, the scarecrow that was skewed in the field suddenly turned its head.

Under the brim of their hats, scarlet eyes stared at their backs.
