Chapter 1104 Chapter 1104: The Demons' Blade (III)
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
"Ah — " Leaf's scream suddenly came from behind .
Ashes turned around and found the wind did not disappear but only weakened . It sent Leaf flying into the air .
At the same time, the Magic Slayer materialized behind her .
"How . . . is that possible?"
The cyclone should be a form of magic power, and it did not make sense that the God's Stone of Retaliation had failed to block it .
Ashes could not afford to give it much thought . She aimed the sword at her opponent's neck .
However, the demon blocked her strike with one single hand . At this point, Ashes clearly saw its arm emanate blue light .
The Magic Slayer did not spare her another glance before he conjured another wisp of wind that made Leaf drift even farther .
"It's . . . picking on Leaf only!"
Ashes followed at its heels, but the Magic Slayer managed to keep her at a distance . Leaf attempted to fight back, but the Magic Slayer pinned her down with a wave . Not able to concentrate her mind and summon her power, Leaf became utterly defenseless under the firm clutch of her enemy .
"Is this how a Senior Demon controls its power?" thought Ashes, her palms starting to sweat . It not only subdued Leaf but also deflected her attack effortlessly . If she could not keep pace with the demon, the demon would probably kill Leaf in the end .
Ashes had never been so strained before .
"Faster, just a little faster!"
For the past two years, Ashes had been following Taquila witches' training routine and noticed a drastic change in her physique . Her magic power increased and her body was well nourished by the magic . Sometimes, she even had a feeling that her magic power was gradually taking place of her flesh and blood .
Yet this was not enough .
She must move faster to save Leaf .
And protect the people she wanted to protect .
Ashes concentrated her mind to summon her power . During the holy duel with Lorgar, she had discovered a unique combat technique, which was to direct all her power to a specific body part to strengthen and enhance it . This was also the reason why the wolf girl could transform her each limb separately .
Since the Magic Slayer was not paying particular attention to Ashes, Ashes could focus her mind . As the surrounding magic power was in disarray, she could sense the flow of the magic power in her body more acutely .
After the demon distanced itself from Ashes for the fourth time, Ashes was around 20 meters behind . The demon brushed away the vines conjured by Leaf and attempted to snatch her by the chest .
It seemed that Leaf was doomed .
However, at this very moment, Ashes mustered all her strength and kicked at a big tree!
For a split second, her hand touched something .
She streaked at the Magic Slayer like a bolt of lightning . Time appeared to have stopped . She could almost "see" the crushed tree crumple underneath her kick, its twigs and branches flying in midair and slumping heavily on the grass .
The Magic Slayer, for the first time, stopped and used its arms to block her strike .
"WHAM! BANG!"
The Magic Slayer was thrown into the air . It flew through the air several meters and performed a double somersault before it landed on the ground .
In the meantime, Ashes caught falling Leaf and blocked further attacks from the demon .
"Hmm . . . " The Magic Slayer raised its brows and, for the first time, showed some interest .
"Fire!"
Just then, the reinforcement Ashes had been waiting for finally arrived . The God's Punishment Witches stationed at the terminus station jumped out of the bushes and aimed their grapeshot guns at the demon . Thunderous roars pierced the air above the forest . As bullets hailed down, the demon flitted from tree to tree like a fleeting ghost to dogde shells . In the midst of flying tree bark and crumbs, its blue light flickered .
A short way farther on, there came a ruffling of footsteps . Apparently, the First Army had surrounded the forest .
The demon cast Ashes one last glance and leaped off . With a surge of magic power, it soared into the sky and vanished into the darkness .
"Damn it," the leading God's Punishment Witch spat . She crouched down in front of Ashes and asked, "I'm Elena . Are you OK?"
"I'm fine . " Ashes answered while looking at half-unconscious Leaf . She wiped the blood off Leaf's face and said, "But she needs treatment . "
"Rest assured," Elena said . "Miss Nana and Miss Nightfall are on their way . "
. . .
As soon as the Upgraded descended to the ground, a junior guard greeted him .
"Sir Ursrook, your air tank . "
Before the guard finished, Ursrook snatched the tank from him and inhaled deeply .
"Awh——"
After a long silence, Ursrook handed the tank to the guard and said, "Get a new one for me . "
"Yes, sir . "
The guard took out the old tank and implanted a new one in his spine . This was a more convenient and faster way to breathe as it did not require armor for transporation .
"How about your trip . . . "
"Had a little problem, but I anticipated that earlier," Ursrook replied expressionlessly . "That's men's territory . If I couldn't even deal with that, I would doubt about Kabradhabi's loyalty . "
"No, that wasn't your real power," the guard defended his master hotly . "The air tank limited your power . If you were around the Birth Tower, those low lives would have been no match for you, sir!"
Summoning magic power would significantly reduce a Senior Demon's health points . To maintain a certain number of health points for a safe return, he had to reserve some of his power when combatting with the witches .
"I was just planning to bait the hook this time . Next time, I'll pick a place more favorable to us for a fair duel," Ursrook looked in the direction of the southern forest and mumbled, "A place for their perpetual rest . . . "
"If only the Sky Lord could give you more support," the guard complained indignantly . "In that case, you don't have to risk yourself, and the Birth Tower in Taquila . . . "
"Risk myself?" Ursrook interjected, "I actually feel it quite interesting . I prefer to go check myself rather than simply relying on others' reports . " He dug a deformed steel bead out of his armor and studied it attentively . "The awakened females haven't improved a bit, but the males, who used to have no magic power, are now somewhat different . It turns out that human beings aren't completely useless . . . If only I could get to know more about them . "
The guard did not reply but looked apparently disapproving .
Ursrook put the steel bead in his inner pocket airily and continued, "As for the lord . . . I believe he must have done his best . It's just that the king has his own problems and considerations . We don't need to be too frustrated about it . After all, our ultimate goal is to reach a higher realm, and that's the reason we fight, isn't it?"
"Yes . . . you're right," the guard muttered while bowing his head .
"Let's retreat, and take the 'tombstone' . It's a long journey to Taquila," Ursrook instructed as he slowly rose into the air and turned in the direction of the ruins . "Now, we've set the hook . We're just going to wait for the fish . "
"Until it's time to haul in our net . "
"We'll surely meet again one day . "
