North of the border city wall of Neverwinter.
Iffy arrived at the previous ability test site and found that many witches had gathered on the grassland, including Maggie and the blonde girl who was always by her side.
Iffy remembered that her name was Lightning.
Seeing her, that guy even fiercely waved his fist, made a face, and pulled Maggie far away from him.
If it were three days ago, Iffy would have taught the two of them a lesson and let them know that they should respect combat witches.
But now, she just smiled silently.
Looking at the alert look of the blonde girl, she unconsciously thought of Annie. At that time, Annie was just like her, always cautious and alert, always protecting Iffy behind her.
Obviously, the two of them were just refugees who happened to travel together.
Perhaps, this was the so-called... sisters in the Alliance.
"Since everyone is here, I'll explain the next task. This operation is codenamed" Melting Point "and will be commanded by Ms. Agatha." His Majesty walked to the center of the crowd. "Of course, many of you already know the content of the task. But for the sake of the newcomers, I'll explain it from the beginning."
"Newcomers... Does he mean me?"
Iffy immediately gathered her spirit.
No matter what, this was the first task given by her new master. Since he assigned her to participate, it must be related to the battle. This was a good opportunity for her to show her ability and value.
"In order to understand the enemy's ability and promote the research of the Sigil of Magic Stone, you'll go to Devil's Town behind the snow mountain, lure the demons to attack, and then capture them alive with an ambush..."
...
After Roland Wimbledon finished, Iffy was still in a daze for a long time.
Was there something wrong with her ears? God, was he serious?
An enemy called the demons destroyed the witch empire that once ruled the continent? And this blue-haired woman who was the commander of the operation was a Senior Witch from more than 400 years ago? The outcome of the Battle of Divine Will would determine the fate of mankind? And these ferocious enemies were hiding in a place not far from the Western Region?
How could this be possible!
But when she glanced at the other witches with a stiff face, she found that they did not show any surprise on their faces.
Obviously, they had already known the news.
"Next, Agatha will explain the things that we need to pay attention to during the Melting Point operation, as well as the tactical arrangements."
Agatha nodded and stepped forward. "According to the current intelligence, there is a vigilant Eye Demon in the camp. This is also the key to the luring plan. As long as someone sees it, it will see them at the same time. If it's a long distance away, the flying devilbeasts are usually the first to move. There aren't many of them, and it's impossible for them to appear in such a large scale in such a remote place. If there were two last time, it should be the same number this time. "
"Fighting in the air is disadvantageous to us, so the best way is to pull them to the ground. That way, I can handle two Devilbeasts by myself. The Mad Demons are Miss Iffy's targets." She looked at Iffy and said, "Use your ability to imprison the enemy, and the mission will be a success."
No matter how he looked at it, she was only a little older than him, but her lifespan was more than four hundred years? Iffy was stunned for a while, and then she answered confusedly, "I... I understand."
"You've never seen a demon, so it's normal for you to doubt it." Agatha seemed to see through her thoughts. "Vendy still has a record of the encounters between the Witch Cooperation Association and the demons. You can take a look after it after the drill, so that you won't be too scared to move when you see the real enemy."
Iffy could not help but frown at these words. "Too scared to move? Even if the demon came from hell, it could only howl in its own cage! "
"What should we do to pull them down?" Lightning asked.
"Abandon the floating balloon and enter the Misty Forest." Agatha squatted down and laid out a map with a stone. "When Sylvie sees the pursuers, you and Maggie immediately take the people on the balloon away. I've confirmed this with His Majesty. If it's a hydrogen balloon, only Vendy can operate it. Together with Sylvie, they can escape at the same time. "
"When the Devilbeasts get close to the balloon, you'll be responsible for luring them into the forest. If their line of sight is blocked, they'll definitely come down to search for them. Pay attention to the enemy's spear attacks. I believe you can easily avoid them. "
"Well, it sounds exciting." Lightning grinned. "Leave it to me!"
"The forest is Leaf's territory. As soon as the demons enter the ambush area, they'll definitely be unable to move an inch. I don't need to tell you what to do next."
"What if there are more than two Devilbeasts?" a witch with emerald green hair asked.
"If there are many of them, the demons are likely to act separately. For example, some of them will stay in the air to patrol, while others will enter the forest." Agatha paused. "If that's the case, Anna will deal with the enemies in the air. But remember, the killing range of the Sigil of God's Will is limited. It's best to activate the sigil when the Devilbeasts gather. In addition, you can't use your own ability while activating the sigil. So, Leaf, you have to protect Anna. "
"What about me?" Nightingale asked.
"You take Iffy with you. Her ability only works within ten steps. It's very risky for her to be exposed to the demons' spear attacks. We'll use the Mist to shorten this distance."
"Alright..." Nightingale turned her head and glanced at Iffy. Iffy immediately felt Nightingale's magic power, which was sharp and cold. "Don't drag me down," Nightingale said, glancing at Iffy.
Iffy realized that Iffy was also a combat witch. She had experienced bloody battles and her hands were stained with blood.
"Now, let's practice." Agatha clapped her hands and said, "Let's start with luring the demons."
...
An hour later, Iffy had a general understanding of the abilities of the witches participating in this operation.
What surprised her was that many of them could be called combat witches.
For example, Leaf, who had wrapped herself in the trunk of a tree, could control the entire forest for her own use. This kind of ability was simply incredible. The range of coverage was completely beyond the limits of ordinary witches.
Although Wendy was only responsible for controlling the balloon, the small-scale hurricanes she summoned could easily turn stones and mud into arrows that could hurt people.
Agatha's ice was both a strong shield and a sharp blade. It could be said to be both offensive and defensive in close combat.
Nightingale was even more terrifying. As long as she escaped into the Mist, she could travel through the whole world as if there were no obstacles in the real world. Iffy, who had personally experienced this, could totally imagine the scene of this kind of ability being invincible in a real battle. A traceless and unpredictable Grim Reaper was enough to make all the enemies feel hopeless.
However, Anna was the one who piqued Iffy's curiosity the most. According to the combat mission, this girl who seemed to have just reached adulthood was the team's trump card. How powerful must she be to be able to destroy so many demons in one breath?
