"Maggie!" Ashes yelled, and at the same time, she stood in front of everyone.
She was met with a series of painful coughs.
Although Maggie seemed to be in a terrible state, at least she was still alive.
"You have quick reflexes, Extraordinary." The Demon revealed a human expression of regret. "Had it not been for your sword, she would have died a painless death. But what you're doing is just prolonging the torture she's going through. It's meaningless.
It was not a coincidence that he had chosen Maggie as his first target. Looking into the Demon's eyes, Andrea suddenly realized that this was a well-thought-out attack. Maggie could not be of much help in a one-on-one fight, but as the only witch who could help them escape, once she was eliminated, the others would be cut off.
She bit her lip and secretly glanced back. She saw that the bone spear was stuck in Maggie's shoulder, and the blood that seeped out dyed a large area of her clothes red. Maggie's breath was weak, probably because of the injury to her lungs. She coughed up blood from time to time. If Ashes had not raised her hand, the bone spear would have pierced through the witch's heart.
However, even if she was not dead, she would not be able to control her ability to maintain the Magic Ark.
How did the Demon Slayer know about Maggie's ability?
"You're the human's' Eye ', aren't you? If not for you, we wouldn't have been forced into this state by the Fiery Rain. " The Magic Slayer's next words tore apart her last hope. He pointed at Sylvie and then turned to Andrea. "And you must be the Divine Archer. You might not have been a big deal 400 years ago, but now you're even more difficult to deal with than a Transcendent. Fortunately, you've all gathered together. "
After saying that, he stretched out his right hand and pressed it on his chest. "Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Ösrook, the commander of this expeditionary force, and also your undertaker."
Without a doubt, this was a trap that had been planned for a long time.
Andrea's expression became increasingly unsightly.
Since when did the Magic Slayer become synonymous with surging Magic Waves?
That's right... Ever since the Magic Slayer came to the north of the Misty Forest and attacked Leaf, his striking features had been engraved in everyone's mind.
In fact, it could be traced back even further.
When Lightning encountered the Magic Slayer for the first time, she felt a strong, almost tangible magic power. Since it was so powerful, wasn't it only natural that it could be captured by the Demon Eye from a distance?
In the long battle that followed, the other party kept reinforcing this impression, exposing his whereabouts to Sylvie's surveillance, which made everyone believe it without a doubt.
However, all of this was just an illusion created by the Magic Slayer.
It used itself as bait and drew everyone's attention to the front of the stage.
Could it be that it had been preparing for today from the very beginning?
But such a statement was simply untenable! The Senior Demon Ursrook had lost Taquila and thousands of demons on the Fertile Plains in order to set up a trap for Sylvie and Sylvie. Even if the Senior Demon Ursrook had sensed Sylvie and Sylvie's existence during the battle of the Northbound Slope and decided to kill them as soon as possible, Ursrook had actually abandoned Taquila and killed thousands of demons on the Fertile Plains! If the Magic Slayer was ruthless and did not care about the lives of his subordinates, then what about the Holy City? Without the God's Stone mine, they would not be able to build the Obelisk, which meant that in the next 400 years, the demons would completely lose the opportunity to lay their hands on the Fertile Plains. If this was the price they had to pay, it was simply too much!
Was it really worth the Magic Slayer's sacrifice?
Andrea's mind was a mess, and she could not make sense of it at all. However, Sylvie asked the most important question.
"... Why? Taquila should be more important than us! "
The Magic Slayer did not attack immediately. He shook his head slightly and said, "I can't tell you."
"Can't I even know the answer before I die?"
"But you're not dead yet." Ösrook's voice was tinged with sarcasm. "Even though you're trapped, you still haven't given up, have you?"
What was he waiting for?
Was he waiting for the Magic Stone to fully recover...
But his arm did not show any signs of withering.
No matter what, this was an opportunity. Andrea swallowed hard. Judging from the previous battle, Ashes could at most stall the Magic Slayer for a while, and she did not have much Magic Power left. Even if she added all her Magic Power together, they would not be able to increase their chances of winning to more than 50%. As for Sylvie, Camilla, and Maggie, they would only make their chances of winning even lower.
The only way to break through was with Lightning.
She had not shown herself yet, which meant that she had sensed something unusual. If she could guide the "Seagull" to help, they might be able to turn the tables!
Instead of attacking now, it was better to ask more questions to stall for time!
Andrea already had a lot of questions in her head.
She looked at the Magic Slayer and said in a low voice, "I don't understand... Even if we were distracted by the illusion, we couldn't have overlooked an enemy that was lurking nearby. Before we opened fire, we clearly checked our surroundings. We're eight to nine kilometers away from Taquila. We won't be able to get there in a short time. Where are you hiding? "
"In the past six months, we've dug many underground tunnels, but not at the front line, but behind Taquila." Ösrook replied unhurriedly. "The entrance to the tunnel is located in the God's Stone mining area, which is difficult to discover. These tunnels are buried deep, so it's normal that you've overlooked them." He looked up at the sky. "The humans have been monitoring this area, right? Besides, you've never let your guard down along the way. You've seen every movement on the surface. It's this illusion of safety that led you into the trap. "
There's a tunnel nearby? Andrea felt a vague sense of unease. "Even if you're hiding underground, you're just hiding yourself. It's not an easy task to find us in such a large area. Besides, we've been changing our positions many times over the past few days. How did you see us? "
"I didn't see you. You saw me." The Magic Slayer suddenly revealed a ferocious smile. "By the way, I'm not the only one who saw me... Where's that flying little guy? If you have a backup plan, he should've arrived by now, right? "
Andrea felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
"When you see it, it will also see you." This was the characteristic of an alert Eye Demon. Could it be that he had killed a Thousand Eye Demon? But its body should be much larger than the Magic Slayer's. Or did Ösrook somehow give that flying demon some of the Eye Demon's abilities?
However, none of this was important. She now completely understood where the uneasiness from before came from.
Since there was a secret underground tunnel, how could the Magic Slayer be the only one hiding there?
The reason why the enemy had not attacked was that it was waiting for reinforcements. It wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop.
Just at this moment, several grenades whizzed out of the woods and headed straight for Ösrook's side!
The Magic Slayer flew into the air and effortlessly dodged this round of surprise attack. The grenades did not slow down at all and plunged into the woods, setting off a series of violent explosions.
Before the scorching heat subsided, a dense barrage of gunshots followed and engulfed the Magic Slayer's position.
Ösrook was forced to fly higher again, and at the same time, his body glowed with a blue light.
"The God's Punishment Witches are here!" Sylvie exclaimed joyfully.
"Are you all right?" Zoey dashed out of the trees and stood between the Magic Slayer and the ambush team. The other seven God's Punishment Witches followed closely behind to protect them.
"Let's go, we have to get out of here —" Andrea's heart was in her throat. She did not have time to explain and shouted at the others.
At this moment, Ösrook also raised his fist.
Two muffled sounds came from afar, "Xiu", "Xiu"
Sylvie's expression changed instantly. No one knew better than her what that sound meant. "Watch out, it's the Spider Demon!"
Two black stone pillars flew above their heads in the blink of an eye. With a muffled explosion, a dense number of long needles rained down on the sniper point.
Andrea gathered the last of her magic power, accelerated the air in front of her to the limit, and pushed it toward the sky.
However, nothing happened. A black light swept across and shattered the magic power that was about to be released.
The Magic Slayer had activated the anti-magic field!
Elena, who was the closest to Andrea, leaped up and dashed toward a nearby tree with Andrea in her arms.
Everything happened in an instant.
