The ice covered the demon's body, sealing it completely, and the demon let out a final terrible scream, then turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared into the air.

The aftermath of the battle faded away, and Hoshino stood still, panting and sweat dripping from his forehead.

She felt the joy of victory, but also the cruelty of battle.

She looked around and saw the battlefield strewn with corpses, shattered buildings and burning flames.

Her eyes flashed with mixed emotions, and she knew that this battle was just the beginning, and that greater tests awaited her ahead.

Hoshino took a deep breath, put away his magic wand, and quickly ran to Genyue's side.

"Bang!"

Gengetsu suddenly launched an attack that sent Hoshino flying, and Hoshino crashed under the tree, blood spurting out of his mouth.

She looked at Xuan Yue in disbelief and shouted, "Sister Xuan Yue, why are you attacking me?!" ”

However, Xuan Yue didn't answer, her expression looked dull, and she quickly attacked Hoshino with her long sword in hand.

Hoshino realized something, and if nothing else, Xuanyue must have been controlled by some evil force, otherwise how could he attack her?

Before he had time to think about it so much, Hoshino waved the magic wand in his hand, trying to resist Xuanyue's attack.

Hoshino didn't dare to be careless, her mood was full of worry and anxiety.

She knew that Xuan Yue was usually a kind and upright person, and she would never do anything to her, let alone be controlled like this.

But the scene in front of her forced her to face this cruel truth.

Xuanyue's swordsmanship was as sharp as a blade, and every blow carried endless killing intent, and Hoshino could only dodge it with all his might.

Her body was extremely flexible, almost dancing on the edge of life and death, barely dodging Xuan Yue's attacks again and again.

However, Hoshino is not content to just dodge, and she decides to find out the source of the evil power that controls Genyue.

She stabilized her mind and activated her magic, and a powerful energy poured out of her body, forming a curtain of light around her.

This layer of light curtain was like an inviolable barrier, blocking Genyue's attack and giving Hoshino a chance to breathe.

She narrowed her eyes and looked intently at Xuanyue, trying to find clues to that evil force.

In Genyue's eyes, Hoshino found a trace of helplessness and pain.

She understands that Xuan Yue's heart must be fighting fiercely against the forces of evil, but her power no longer belongs to her.

Hoshino decided to take a more direct approach, and she approached Genyue and reached out and gently touched her forehead.

In an instant, she felt a powerful dark force devouring her like a black hole.

Hoshino is not afraid, she gathers her magic and starts a fierce battle with the dark forces.

Her magic was like a bright light, gradually dispelling the dark power.

Just when Hoshino thought victory was in sight, the dark power suddenly became more powerful, and Hoshino felt his body begin to tremble.

She resisted steadfastly, but gradually, she felt her magic begin to dry up.

Just as she was about to be powerless to resist, a bright light burst out from her body, instantly crushing the dark power.

It was a warm, pure light, like an angel who saved her.

Hoshino fell to the ground exhausted, gasping weakly as she felt the sharp pain in her body.

She raised her head and looked at Xuan Yue, who had returned to normal, and her heart was full of gratitude and relief.

"Sister Xuanyue, you're fine."

Hoshino's voice trembled slightly.

Gengetsu blinked and returned to her normal expression, she looked at Hoshino with apologies and gratitude in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Hoshino, I don't know what I'm doing, thank you for saving me."

There was a hint of tremor in Xuan Yue's voice.

Hoshino smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to help Xuanyue get up: "We are friends, and it is appropriate to help each other." ”

The two looked at each other silently, and this experience strengthened their trust and friendship with each other.

"Agni!"

Suddenly, a black-robed man appeared out of thin air not far away, and his attack was like a raging fire, instantly burning all the surrounding 100 meters.

The flames spread out, dancing with red tongues and sneering sounds.

Hoshino and Genyue dodged the black-robed man's attacks with agility, their eyes shining with determination.

"Frost!"

Hoshino raised the magic wand in his hand, his lips moved slightly, and a cold aura quickly condensed, and then turned into a blue ice pick, shooting towards the black-robed man.

The ice picks shimmered with cold light, and the speed was dazzling.

Seeing this, the black-robed man hurriedly dodged, but the ice pick followed him like a shadow, chasing after him.

The black-robed man's brows furrowed slightly, he could feel the powerful power contained in the ice pick, and he didn't dare to take it lightly.

At the same time, Xuan Yue held a long sword in his hand, and his body rushed to the black-robed man with agility.

Her swordsmanship was like thunder, and every swing of her sword was accompanied by a stormy sword aura.

Xuan Yue's sword moves were fast and sharp, and every blow was extremely accurate, which made the black-robed man feel the pressure.

The corners of the black-robed man's mouth rose slightly, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, he suddenly changed his moves, his figure flashed like a ghost, and instantly appeared behind Xuan Yue, and the dagger in his hand stabbed her back.

Xuan Yue's eyes lit up, and she immediately realized that something was wrong, and she hurriedly forcibly rotated her body and dodged the fatal blow.

However, the black-robed man did not stop attacking, his movements were like a series of explosions, and he continued to attack one move after another.

Seeing this, Hoshino was anxious.

She knew that Xuanyue was already at a disadvantage and had to use magic support as soon as possible, so she used magic to speed up her body, disappearing in place in an instant, and then appeared next to the black-robed man.

She raised the magic wand in her hand, and a powerful firestorm instantly formed, sweeping towards the black-robed man.

In the midst of the firestorm, the flames danced and crackled, like hungry demons.

Sensing the threat of the flames, a flash of horror flashed in the black-robed man's eyes, and he hurriedly cast a defensive spell in an attempt to fend off Hoshino's attack.

However, the power of the firestorm grew stronger and stronger, and the black-robed man's defenses were shattered.

Seeing this, Xuan Yue immediately seized the opportunity and stabbed at the black-robed man's vital point with a lightning speed.

The tip of the sword slashed across the black-robed man's body, sending out a blood-red arc, and blood splattered on the ground.

The black-robed man let out a scream, his body was shaky, he wanted to escape, but he was tightly surrounded by Hoshino and Xuanyue, and he could no longer break through.

"Don't kill me!" The black-robed man trembled and said, "It's all from the Dark Lord who asked me to come, my family is in his hands, and if I don't come, I'll die!" ”

Hoshino and Genyue glanced at each other, their eyes flashing with doubt, they knew that this black-robed man must have an ulterior secret, but this was not the time to investigate.
