There was no moon tonight, so even if we came to an open place, it was pitch black.

Ophelia threw out the illuminated crystal balls, but she couldn't see the shadows for what they really were, they had the same appearance as humans, but they were pitch black, so they could be perfectly hidden in the night, and only the sense of magic could detect their presence.

The Emir was all too familiar with these traces of magic, and although they were incomprehensible, there was no doubt that they were indeed monsters.

"Wasn't Cornes destroyed along with the power of the Demon King? Why are there still monsters? Ophelia was also incredulous.

"Then there is only one possibility," said the emir in a heavy tone, "for Cornes is not dead, after all, he has so many stand-ins that he may have sent somewhere else by the time of the decisive battle with us." ”

"Tsk, isn't our efforts in vain?"

"Probably not, at least the Demon King is gone," Emir disagreed, and he comforted Ophelia, "Anyway, Cornes can't afford to make any waves, now we just need to concentrate on destroying these monsters." ”

"Well, that's all it can be."

Ophelia nodded, then drew her sword, and the shadows pounced on her.

The emir was not trained in swordsmanship, but now that he had the holy sword by his side, he would not lose to these minions.

He aimed at one of the black shadows, and then swung his holy sword, only to find that the blade could not touch the monster's body at all, and he guessed that these black shadows should be transparent.

However, a black shadow suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist, unable to break free, and he realized that these monsters were similar to the ones he had encountered in Jinshi Village, except that those monsters with transparent bodies appeared in his dreams at that time.

At this time, since the monster was able to touch Emir, it meant that the other party had become an entity, so Emir immediately swung his sword.

But the final result was still the same, he couldn't understand it for a while, after all, the effect of force should be mutual, how could it be that the monster attacked him unilaterally?

On the other side, Ophelia kept unleashing her sword skills, but she couldn't cut any of the monsters, and gradually, her whole body was entangled by the monster's slender arms, and she hurriedly riveted her strength to get rid of the monster, but she couldn't do it at all.

"Damn, what the hell is this?" Emir couldn't help but complain, and he then released Lilith, intending to use the dragon's breath against the guys.

Lilith finally got the opportunity to perform, and she was so excited that she took a deep breath and spat out a series of flames that lit up the surroundings in an instant, but the monsters were still unscathed.

With the help of the firelight, Emir finally saw the number of enemies, and he couldn't help but gasp, although these monsters would only hold on to people and didn't do much damage, but such a huge number of them almost overwhelmed people.

At this point, the girl was shocked that Emir was able to summon dragons, but she once again showed a look of despair when she realized that Emir had also taken these monsters.

At this time, Emir and Ophelia have been separated by monsters far away, and if they don't retreat, the consequences will be unimaginable, they will definitely fall into the tide of monsters, and finally suffocate to death.

"Lilith, bring Ophelia back." The emir hastened to order.

"Understood."

Lilith flapped her wings, but she couldn't blow the monsters away, so she had to plunge into the tide of monsters, and then took the opportunity to pick up Ophelia, but fortunately her size was so large that the monsters couldn't catch her at all, so they had to let her fly away.

After that, Lilith turned back and let the Emile climb on top of her, and then quickly rose into the sky, completely freeing herself from the annoying monsters.

However, Emir suddenly remembered that the girl was still below, regardless of whether the other party had helped them just now, even if it was an ordinary passerby, he couldn't throw the other party in the pile of monsters, so he asked Lilith to go down and save the girl.

"By the way, is there anyone else here who is trapped by monsters besides you?" After a while, the emir asked.

The girl didn't answer, just shook her head with a dull expression.

"Alright, let's leave like this."

"It's useless, we can't leave." The girl said with a look of despair.

"How come, Lilith can fly thousands of meters in the air, I don't believe those monsters can do anything to us." The emir was completely unfaithful.

However, when Lilith flew into the air at a height of more than 100 meters, she suddenly hit something, lost her balance for a while, and began to fall towards the ground.

"What's wrong?" The emir hastened to ask.

“…… It's like there's a wall of air. Lilith was soon back in the air, but could not fly higher.

"Well, you should believe it now, we'll be trapped here forever anyway." The girl sighed heavily.

"But how do you know we're going to be trapped forever? What's really going on here? Ophelia asked her suddenly.

At this time, since Lilith was able to stay in mid-air, the monsters could not reach them, and the Emir had a chance to think of countermeasures.

"I'm sorry, I'm just introducing myself now, my name is Fiona, and I'm the lord of this town."

"Oh?" The emir was slightly surprised.

After all, the girl in front of him looked younger than him, estimated to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he didn't expect it to be the city lord here.

"Just three days ago, a necromancer named Cornes came here and asked me to hand over all the children of the town, or else the town would be razed to the ground, and I would be the lord of the city...... No, it's impossible for anyone to agree to such a request, but my magic level is limited, and I am no match for him at all, so in the end, I had no choice but to let all the residents take refuge, and then in order to force me to comply, Cornes released a large number of monsters, and also set up an enchantment around the town, only allowed to enter and not leave, I thought he was bluffing at first, but as you can see, the town has been shrouded in a wall of air, and we can no longer get out. ”

"Hmph, that guy really didn't die." Ophelia said indignantly.

"I see," said the emir, thoughtfully, "why do you stay here when the inhabitants have taken refuge?" ”

"Well, in fact, the shelter is under the town, and I'm lucky it's not covered by the barrier of Cones, but if you want to get out, you still have to go through the gate of the town, and I'm here to check the situation this time."

"Well, then we just need to find Cones and kill him, and we should be able to get out."

"But his strength is too strong, and he can keep resurrecting, I can't beat him at all, and you guess it's enough, so I said that we were trapped forever."

Emir smiled slightly, and then told her about the previous crusade against the demons, however, Fiona showed an expression of disbelief.

"You defeated the Demon King? How is this possible? Your magic level isn't much higher than mine. ”

"And what if we had the help of magic that could turn back time?"

"Reversing time? Does that magic really exist? ”

“…… Alas, forget it," the emir knew that there was no point in continuing, "in short, we naturally have a way to deal with Cornes, you just need to tell us where he is now." ”

"This ...... I don't know. Fiona said with a look of frustration.

"Really?" Emir didn't count on her anymore, and then looked at Ophelia, "By the way, Ophelia, your magic perception is stronger, you should be able to find Cones." ”

Ophelia then closed her eyes, sensed the town, and frowned.

"Sorry, I can't find it either."

The emir couldn't help but think that if Cornes was really here, with Ophelia's ability, he would definitely be able to sense it, then it was obvious that Cornes should have left, but only controlled the whole town before leaving.

He must have intended to trap the townspeople here, and when everyone had lost their ability to resist, he would be able to easily capture the children.

"Alas, it's useless, we can't get out anymore." Fiona sighed heavily.

When Emir saw her like this, she couldn't help but be a little angry, she didn't do anything hard, but she only knew to sigh here.

"Fiona," said Emir with a serious expression, "we are indeed trapped, but I believe that this is only temporary, and we still have a lot to do, don't we?" It's not too late to come to a conclusion when you've tried all the options. ”

Fiona listened to his words, and her originally dark eyes instantly brightened, because she thought so at first, but after spending two days in the shelter with the people, she was also infected by the atmosphere of despair, so she gave up on herself.

Now, she felt that her idea was approved by the emir, and she summoned up the courage to face the desperate situation.

"Well, I see." Fiona smiled and nodded.

"By the way, where are you talking about the shelter? Can we go and see? The emir asked suddenly.

In fact, he was just too hungry to think about countermeasures, but he was too embarrassed to say it, so he brought it up, after all, it was reasonable that Fiona would definitely entertain him and Ophelia.

Fiona didn't know what he really meant, so she didn't hesitate to point to a corner of town.

"There's a small square over there, and the shelter is just under the square, and we're in the same position now, and the people will welcome you."

"That's great, let's go."

Emile nodded, thinking that this would finally solve the problem of hunger.

He then sent Lilith flying, and while the monsters were still gathering at the town gate, they hurried into the shelter.
