But at this distance, it was impossible to warn the enemy.
The speed of the red dot increased by a few notches and became even more distinct.
"What should I do?
Yes, yes — the phone! I can use the phone to inform Leaf! "
Sylvie slid all the way from the top of the watchtower to the underground conference room and shouted to The Light Of Dawn, "Call Leaf and tell her to leave immediately!"
Ferlin realized that something big must have happened. Without asking why, he picked up a phone and shook the handle with all his might. "Leave... where are you going?"
"Anywhere is fine! Neverwinter, south of the forest... the farther away from the terminal, the better! "
At this time, all eyes in the conference room were focused on Sylvie.
"Did you find anything?" Edith asked.
"We guessed wrong — the enemy is aiming at Leaf, and there's only one of them!" Sylvie looked to the southwest anxiously. "Leaf needs to concentrate when she controls the forest, which is equivalent to an entity. As long as the enemy can see the flow of magic power, they'll be able to locate her! They set the forest on fire just for this moment! "
"What?" Edith suddenly frowned. "Can you also observe the demons' actions from here?"
"Because the enemy's magic power... is too strong," she murmured.
"But Lady Leaf is also very strong," Filin interrupted. "If she doesn't rely on fire, even an army of Mad Demons can't do anything to her in a short time, right?"
"But since the enemy has done this, they can't be unprepared —" Sylvie could not help but clench her fists. The red dot in her field of vision had begun to rise rapidly, and its trajectory was like a raised snake head. "Is the phone still not connected?"
"Yes... no one is answering."
"As expected, all of Leaf's attention is attracted by the fire?" "At this rate, the two will meet in one or two minutes at most!"
"Call the terminal," Edith said. "Ask the First Army stationed there to inform Leaf and ask them to prepare for reinforcements."
"Yes." Filin turned around and picked up another phone.
While waiting anxiously, Sylvie clearly saw that after the red light passed the apex, it fell straight down like an ominous meteor.
Launching a frontal assault from the sky without any scruples …
She had already vaguely guessed the worst answer in her heart.
The enemy was probably the Magic Slayer!
…
This should be enough. Leaf clapped her hands and let out a long sigh.
The trees at the edge of the camp had been separated from the north side, so no matter how the fire burned, it would not threaten the safety of the terminus.
However, when she saw the twisted and withered branches in the flames, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
How many memories would she lose if she burned the forest under her control? How many of them were important and precious?
Just thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable.
Pull yourself together, Leaf!
They still had to prepare to extinguish the fire!
She silently encouraged herself and was about to walk around the camp to see if there was anything she could do to help. Suddenly, a whistling sound came from above and attracted her attention.
Leaf looked up. It was almost night and the sky was dark purple, so it was difficult to see what was making the sound.
"Be careful, quickly dodge!" someone suddenly shouted.
Before Leaf could see who it was, she subconsciously hid in the trees. At the same time, a black shadow fell from the sky and almost brushed past her face. The surrounding branches and leaves were instantly turned into powder.
The moment the black shadow landed on the ground, there was no earth-shattering sound. It could even be said that it was silent. This strange scene made Leaf feel a strong sense of uneasiness. However, before she could do anything, a distorted ripple had already spread out with the black shadow as the center.
The magic power that had been flowing smoothly suddenly froze —
Then it broke into pieces like a mirror!
"Ah —!"
Leaf only felt dizzy for a while, and then was forced out of the trunk by an irresistible force.
After falling heavily on the ground, she could not help but taste something sweet in her throat. She opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
It was not until then that Leaf saw the true face of the shadow.
It was a tall and straight demon with extremely sharp facial features. Except for its dark blue skin and weird clothes, it was almost no different from a human. Just by standing there, it gave people an indescribable pressure.
It was as if the air had become sticky.
Leaf panted and propped herself up. No matter how hard she called out to the forest, it did not respond to her.
It was not the first time that she had been forcibly cut off from the heart of the forest.
"The Magic Slayer..." Her heart sank.
However, the other party did not sneer nor howl. He only stretched out his five claws that were as sharp as blades and pounced towards her.
Leaf clenched her teeth and closed her eyes.
However, she did not feel the pain she had expected.
"Ding!"
A strangely shaped big sword was placed horizontally in front of her, blocking the opponent's sharp claws. The blade was as thick as a door, and the golden sun symbol on the blade was something that would never be forgotten once one saw it.
"Emissary Ashes."
"Your opponent is here, monster!" Ashes blocked the Magic Slayer's claws and stood in front of Leaf.
"Ashes?" Leaf's eyes widened in surprise. "Didn't you return to Neverwinter with Princess Tilly? I saw the Seagull with my own eyes... "
"Yes, it should have been like that," Ashes said without turning her head. "But I felt that the fire was a little strange, so I volunteered to stay. After all, if something goes wrong, I can also help, can't I? "
"So that's why. She was the one who gave the warning!"
"So, this is the Magic Slayer you met before?"
"Yes, but you have to be careful. It's much stronger than the Senior Demon you met before!"
"I can see that." Ashes held the big sword in front of her chest. "Don't worry. I may not win, but I'll be fine as long as I can hold on until the reinforcements arrive."
The demon looked in the direction of the campsite and then at the two coldly. "Extraordinary...?"
Although the demon's pronunciation was not fluent, it was undoubtedly a language that humans could understand. This was even more incredible than the Magic Slayer himself!
In the long history of the Battle of Divine Will, no demon had ever communicated with a witch!
"You... can speak our language?" Leaf could not help but ask.
"Learning is the foundation of evolution. Only you will be surprised by this." The Senior Demon spread its arms. "Countless things can change in hundreds of years, but you still act as if it was yesterday. Demons, Extraordinary, and the titles haven't changed at all. It's... pathetic."
"What did you say?" Ashes shouted in a low voice.
A gust of wind answered her!
