Watching the noble red gradually gather, Ivus, who was hiding in the priest's house, narrowed his eyes slightly.

…… There are a little more people.

He counted a little, and there were at least thirty of those in red robes. They haven't even come out of the forest quite yet.

And after these red-robed men left the forest, they restored order without any command at all-

They were just a little noisy and noisy because of their excitement the moment they came out, but they quickly quieted down and spontaneously formed a phalanx of spellcasters more than a meter apart. And immediately start the ritual in a row, to ensure that anyone has a companion who can keep an eye on the surroundings at all times while performing the ritual.

Just looking at this sense of order, Ivas felt a sigh in his heart.

- This is not the elite army of the noble red, right?

The batch they sent in when they attacked the Inspectorate before looked very professional. But they are obviously not as elite as this group of people.

Ivas knew that there was indeed a regular army inside the noble red. But he didn't know much, after all, the noble red didn't make it.

Wolfram, the prince of giants, doesn't know how to train people...... After all, the reason why the giants can be defeated by the knights is because the giants have long been accustomed to their own strength, and there is no battle formation and cooperation at all, and they are completely fighting on their own.

But inside the noble red there are air cavalry who have defected to the past. He brought a systematic training and command plan to the noble red—Ivas had done this side quest and was a little impressed. But it's all skipped in the middle, so it's not clear what the specifics are.

I only vaguely remember that this person was a student of the Great Guardian, and then it seemed that it was because of jealousy or something, and I felt unfairness and defected.

As a player at the time, Ivus didn't think there was anything. But now he really feels the pressure -

Demon scholars trained on the scale of an army are very difficult to deal with, even if they only have a third energy level. After all, the Demon Scholar is essentially two units, one is the Demon and the other is the Scholar...... This means that these Demon Scholars can be turned into a cluster of spellcasters with a large number of front-row meat shields that are not afraid of death at any time.

The only good news is that the giant who led the team is only a little over three meters.

This shows that his bloodline is either impure, or the level of his power path is not high. And the latter shows that his status in the giant kingdom is not high...... Then he should not have mastered the special mystical skills passed down by the royal family, and he should not have divine blood.

Evas remembered that Wolfram, the Giant Prince, was an advanced class of Archwizards of the Spell Mage. He is truly god-blooded, and he is very difficult.

And as the noble red is an association led by demon scholars, they must have at least one other high-ranking demon scholar.

- If nothing else, it should be him.

A pure demon scholar is better than a former high-level warrior and a part-time high-level demon scholar - although the giants themselves are quite meaty, but if there is a high-level melee class level, Ivus really doesn't know how to deal with them.

Seeing that Ivus's brow was furrowed, Lily tugged at the corner of his coat slightly.

"Young Master," Lily whispered, "or I'll assassinate him directly......"

Ivus looked back abruptly and glanced at Lily in amazement.

- How dare you?

When did Lily become so aggressive?

“…… There's a good chance he's fifth," he had a toothache, "you better take it easy." The Shadow Fiend may be able to help you kill him, but he may not be able to bring him out again......"

Lily hadn't completed the second advancement ritual to adapt to the path and reached the third energy level. Even with the priority bonus of the equipment on her body, it is impossible to assassinate a thinner fifth-level transcendent in a group of regular troops and return safely.

Even if he counted the Flame Butterfly, he didn't have the confidence to save Lily again.

"But," Lily frowned, "if we don't take the initiative......"

Through the window, they could see the demonic scholars arranging some kind of ritual.

They first summoned their natal demons to their side, and then began to carefully bless themselves.

- Ivus recognized it, it was the Demon Frenzy Ritual.

They first rampaging demons and rendering them insane, and then using the power of contract to enslave them. This is a mysterious technique used to control demons that are stronger than yourself.

This made Ivus look a little anxious-

What the hell are these people here for? Did you also come to find the Book of Law?

Hopefully, Haina and Sherlock will hide and not come looking for them at this time.

Otherwise, with their strength, it would be troublesome to run into these demon scholars......

But at this moment, a person in the phalanx of demon scholars suddenly saw Aihuas.

His eyes, still shimmering with scarlet light under the red robe, met with Ehuas's eyes.

Washton was frightened, and subconsciously pulled Lily and began to retreat quickly.

Lily realized something and began to arrange layers of white silk threads in the room.

After about two seconds, a black thunderbolt that continued to elongate and shorten like a worm suddenly shattered the glass and exploded in the room!

As soon as it hit the ground, it shattered into countless fragments of black lightning, and the corrosive aura from the dark mana blasted the ground and walls into cobweb-like purple cracks. Luckily, the threads were holding back some of it, otherwise it would have splattered on Ehuas.

As soon as Ivas breathed a sigh of relief, another hot fireball came through the window.

It shone with a white-gold glow, steaming with billowing heat. It began to swell violently the moment it entered the house, and by this time it was too late for Ivus to find a way to summon the Flame Butterfly.

Ivus subconsciously turned around and hugged Lily, throwing her to the ground while shouting, "Shadow Fiend!" ”

The shadow beneath Lily swelled, and the Shadow Fiend emerged from it, forming a semi-arc shadow shield that held them back.

The fireball that burrowed into the living room exploded, shattering the walls and floor, as well as the tables and cabinets in the living room!

The whole ground shook and shook. A scorching flame began to spread through the room, and thick black smoke blackened the walls.

Eivas easily recognized the two spells.

- It's Bone Rotten Thunder and Fireball!

The former is an armor-piercing ritual spell that can burn through metal armor and break through short walls and barriers...... The ritual materials used are the three joints of the spine of an old man and the bile of a young girl.

The latter is a classic blasting spell.

The power of the fireball spell is all too familiar to Ehuas, because the flame butterfly of the "explosion" attribute of Eivus is equivalent to a fireball technique.

However, the Fireball Spell is a mage's spell, and Demon Scholars usually lack fire-attribute mana and cannot release it. Therefore, it is most likely that the demons of his contract have launched a series of bombardments against the targets of his attacks.

Instead, the fireball struck him head-on, and the Shadow Demon let out a muffled sound.

It wasn't meant to be a defensive illusion - if it weren't for the protection of Ivas and Lily, it would normally be dodging in the shadows.

“…… I'm going to kill them, Aihuath! ”

The Shadow Fiend let out a low growl, "It's useless for you to stop it!" ”

The flames didn't do any damage to it, but the light emitted when the fireball burst made Shadow Fiend visibly uncomfortable. It's like throwing a ball of feces in a human face—it's not hurtful, but it's insulting.

Perhaps due to the influence of the demonic madness ritual in operation, the Shadow Fiend's aggressiveness has become significantly stronger.

"Ah, so do I."

Aihuas narrowed his eyes slightly, and the faint purple light loomed: "I won't stop you......"

He had just glanced at it from a distance, and he was blown up twice with a spell...... There are even those with mending knives. If it weren't for his quick reaction, he might have been seriously injured.

Originally, Ivus was still thinking about whether to avoid it.

After all, the fifth energy level is really not easy to mess with.

He himself is not afraid...... But if you anger them, it's not good to get into trouble for Eagle Cape Village.

- But it was only when these noble red demon scholars took the initiative to attack him that Ivas suddenly realized the identity of these people.

There's a reason why they're like street rats in Avalon. These demon scholars already had the experience of slaughtering villages, and even the "Big Purple" gang had just slaughtered a village before they came to Glass Island.

For these non-taboo demon scholars, humans are nothing more than walking ritual material...... It has become customary for them to slaughter villages that are unable to resist to replenish ritual materials. And now the transcendent who is backed by the fifth energy level will not have any scruples.

Ivas had been living on the island of Glass before. Until the attack on the Inspectorate, there was basically no major disaster, and the noble red has always been a man with his tail between his legs on the glass island. So he didn't have any obvious feelings about it, and he didn't think they were terrible. I just think they're just a bunch of clowns.

And now that the fireball came down, Ivus suddenly understood. They didn't plan to stay alive in the first place, and it had nothing to do with whether they provoked them or not.

Ivas finally realized what the "slaughter village" he had only read about in the game text and newspaper text meant.

- These people are not clowns, but real demons.

“…… Scold. ”

Ivus's pupils gradually ignited with purple-red flames, and the purple in them became brighter and brighter.

"A giant of the fifth energy level. More than 40 regular soldiers above the third level...... It's quite challenging. ”

"It's all scum—"

The Shadow Fiend's furious, malevolent voice rumbled in his head, "Kill them, Aihuath!" Rush over and kill them! ”

"-Quiet, Shadow Fiend."

Ivus's cold voice rang out, "Don't order me. I am your master. ”

Between the thumb and index finger of the right hand, a solid red card appears out of thin air, as if by magic.

A butterfly pattern is outlined with black threads, and at this moment the butterfly on it can't wait to start flapping its wings.

"—Flame Butterfly."

Ivus whispered her name, "It's time to kill." ”

"As you wish, brother."

An echoing, ethereal, cold voice rang out from Ivus's heart: "I'll scorch them." ”

Then, a stream of fire flowed out of the center of the card—

Update complete!

It's still a double watch.,The third watch hurts the body a little bit......
