The Farsight carried Vendy and Sylvie to the Swirling Sea. Lightning and Maggie accompanied them on both sides of the basket, waiting to pick them up at any time.
This time, their mission was not to investigate Devil's Town, so they did not need to fly so high. As long as they avoided the snow mountain, Sylvie could see through the rocky cliffs and directly see the Eye Demon on the top of the Blackstone Spire.
According to Agatha, the Eye Demon did not really need to "see" its enemies. As long as someone noticed it, it could sense its existence and locate its location. This kind of demon had caused great casualties to the Blessed Army's raiding team. It was difficult to avoid its detection, whether it was invisible or descending from the sky. It could not be detected unless they fought blindfolded.
Of course, they could not see it. However, the Eye Demon usually stayed at the highest point of the camp, so it was difficult not to notice it.
"How is it? Did you see anything?" Lightning flew over and asked.
"I have to get closer, or else I won't be able to hold on for long." Sylvie rubbed her eyes. Using the Eye of Magic to see through obstacles consumed a lot of energy, and the range of observation would also be shortened. She had carefully focused her vision into a straight line, but when the details of the cliff's cross-section were revealed one by one, she still felt dizzy.
"I got it." Vendy summoned a gust of wind. "Hold on tight."
The rocky beach gradually became clearer, and the thin Red Mist appeared in front of them. Even though it was a clear sky, the mist still pressed down on the cliffs, but its color was much fainter than the last time they saw it.
Sylvie looked again. The soil in her field of vision was finally replaced by the viscous mist. Tower-Like buildings were faintly discernible in the Red Mist, as if it was an abandoned world.
She soon found the thickest spire made of Blackstone.
Compared to the last time, she did it on purpose this time. She wanted to alarm the demons and lure them to chase her. Unlike Lightning, who was always energetic, Sylvie did not want to be an explorer. She just wanted to live an ordinary life. However, the Battle of Divine Will was an inescapable fate. Even if she did not like twists and turns, she could not stay out of it. Just as she promised Tilly to go to Border Town to see if Roland was controlled by witches, she only hesitated for a moment when Roland announced the plan.
Previously, she did it for all the sisters on Sleeping Island. This time, she did it for the Witch Union and the whole kingdom of His Majesty.
Sylvie took a deep breath and looked up.
In an instant, hundreds of eyeballs appeared in her field of vision. The black, soft-bodied monster was still lying in the same place, as if it had never moved. Even its limbs were fused with the top of the tower, as if it had grown out of the stone. The numerous eyeballs shifted their direction at the same time, and Sylvie could even see her own reflection in the dark eyeballs!
This feeling made her hair stand on end. She felt a chill down her spine.
"They're coming!" She interrupted her ability and shouted.
"Let's go!"
"Ow!" In the blink of an eye, Maggie transformed into a gigantic Devilbeast, and with a roll, she steadily stopped below the basket. Sylvie jumped down and landed on her spacious back, while Lightning carried Wendy on her back and followed closely behind. Together, they flew towards the Concealing Forest. Compared to the last time, they were completely prepared this time. The empty hydrogen balloon would be an eye-catching sign to guide the two sides to meet. According to the plan, Lightning would return to this place alone and lure the demons to go deeper.
Taking advantage of this, Sylvie turned her head and looked back.
There were five black spots on the cliff. This number was more than Agatha had predicted, but it did not exceed the warning red line.
However, under the observation of the Eye of Magic, she found something wrong.
Among the five demons, only four were driving Devilbeasts, and two of them were obviously very different from Mad Demons. They did not have burly bodies and thick arms, and they were not wearing a patchwork of animal skin and iron armor. Instead, they were wearing colorful robes, which reflected a rainbow-like luster under the sun. Sylvie could not tell what the robes were made of. The robes kept surging under them, as if there were countless vipers hiding under them.
Their heads were also bigger than the Mad Demons, but they had no obvious facial features. Their faces looked like huge scars with red wrinkles spreading from the middle. It was as weird as it could be.
When she looked at the last demon, she was stunned for a moment.
The demon was wearing heavy and exquisite armor and carrying a two-handed giant sword on its back. It looked extremely heavy, but it was flying like Lightning behind the four Devilbeasts without slowing down.
Its face was also completely covered by a helmet. It was not a skull helmet like the one worn by the Mad Demons, but more like a metal one. Both sides of the helmet were engraved with exquisite patterns and patterns, and several sharp horns protruded from the top. At first glance, it looked like a miniature Blackstone Tower. The parts that should have been the eyes were flashing with red light, looking evil and ferocious.
What kind of demon is this?
Sylvie was shocked. Agatha did not mention how to deal with this situation. Should she still carry out the arrest according to the original plan?
A strong sense of uneasiness enveloped her.
The two of them landed in the depths of the forest one after another. As soon as she climbed down from Maggie's back, she saw a golden figure soaring into the sky and flying toward the balloon at a speed several times faster than when it came.
It was too late to stop it.
After hesitating for a while, Sylvie felt that she had to tell Agatha about this. She patted Maggie's wings and said, "Take me to the ambush area!"
"What's wrong?" Vendy trotted over. "Aren't we going to meet up with the First Army?"
According to the training, the two of them were not very helpful in restraining the demons. In order to reduce unnecessary risks, they should leave the main battlefield as soon as possible and approach the First Army's defense line.
"I saw a strange demon." Sylvie shook her head. "The enemy is not just the Mad Demons. I have to inform everyone!"
"But the ambush area is very big!" Maggie crouched down. "Even if you go there, you may not be able to find them immediately."
"It doesn't matter. Just take me there." She climbed back onto the back of the Giant Beast and turned to look at Vendy. "You go to the river alone. I'll be back soon."
...
Lightning increased her speed to the maximum. The wind whistled past her ears, and the land under her rapidly shrank. The forest, river, and beach became a mass of blurred color blocks and twisted lines in the blink of an eye.
She had to rush back to the area where the hydrogen balloon was before the demons and pretend to flee in panic to lure the demons to pursue her.
