As soon as the demon raised its head, it was smashed into the ground by Maggie. The strong impact made Nightingale feel the ground tremble.
If an ordinary person was hit like this, all his bones would have been crushed.
"Well done, Maggie!" Leaf clenched her fists and said, "Stomp it to death!"
"Bite it with your mouth and whip it with your tail!" Even Iffy shouted excitedly.
"Ow!"
Maggie howled proudly. She put Agatha down and was about to stand up and continue. Suddenly, the transformation was canceled — the ferocious Devilbeast had disappeared. The little girl fell to the ground in a daze, not knowing what had happened.
"Magic Slayer!"
Agatha was the first to react. An ice cone rose from the ground and the demon, who had just climbed up, was knocked away again and smashed through several trees.
She did not give the demon any chance to escape. She chased after it and froze its feet.
"Now!"
Maggie, who had recovered from the shock, pulled out her pistol and fired continuously at the immobile demon. Nightingale bit her lip and reloaded her gun. She asked Iffy to help her and joined in the suppression. The demon's armor flashed continuously, but it soon weakened. The red light in its eyes was faintly discernible.
The demon roared hoarsely and waved its hand at Agatha, sending her flying. The ice crystals under its feet disappeared instantly. Then it soared into the air, swaying as it tried to escape.
"Don't let it go!" Agatha shouted. "Maggie!"
"Let me do it!" Leaf grabbed the Sigil of God's Will in Anna's hand and injected all her magic power into it. Although she had been forcibly removed from the state of Heart of Forest, her magic power had not been consumed much. She could still light up the fourth gem of the Sigil during normal tests. Soon, the forest was filled with golden light again. The demon turned its head and let out a strange cry, as if it could not believe what it had seen.
The golden Thunder engulfed it in an instant.
This time, it didn't manage to survive.
...
"Is the demon … dead?" Nightingale asked weakly.
"Only half the armor is left, coo!" Maggie dragged the "enemy" back. If it were not for the exquisite carvings on the edge, it would be hard to believe that the greenish-black burnt object was the demon's body. Apparently, it was not as sturdy as they thought.
Lightning was also found.
When the enemy released the black ripples, the little girl was affected and fell down like a brick. Her head hit a tree branch and she fainted. Fortunately, he wasn't too high off the ground at that time, and with the dense foliage acting as a buffer, other than a big bump on his head, he didn't suffer any other injuries.
Probably because she was not able to participate in the battle, she seemed very upset. After confirming that everyone was fine, she said dejectedly, "I'll go inform Brian and ask him to send someone to pick you up."
"You all survived," Agatha exclaimed. "This is a miracle."
"I don't know how to report to His Majesty that we were tricked by a mere demon." Nightingale sighed painfully.
"No … this is definitely not an ordinary victory. The enemy is a Magic Slayer!" Agatha shook her head. "Perhaps several Senior Witches can fight a Senior Demon, but absolutely no one can defeat a Magic Slayer. Only the Three Chiefs of the Union can compete with it."
"Does it have to be a Transcendent?" Leaf frowned.
"That's right," Agatha said affirmatively. "This is a lesson the Union learned with blood."
"What kind of ability does the Magic Slayer have?"
"It's not an ability, but a title," Maggie explained. She explained, "Senior Demons have several abilities, but unlike witches, their abilities are not awakened. Someone once observed that a Senior Demon, who had led troops to attack Taquila many times, had two additional Magic Cyclones in its body within a few years, which means that it has at least two new abilities. No one knows how the enemy did it. It seems that they are naturally better at using magic power than us. "
"And the Magic Slayer doesn't refer to a certain type of cyclone, but to the ability that is strong enough to produce the effect of a God's Stone."
Her words made Nightingale's heart skip a beat. "You mean … Magic Power Abstinence?"
"To be precise, it's interference," Agatha corrected her. "Their ability attacks have a chance to break through the defense of a God's Stone of Retaliation, and their magic attacks will be restrained and weakened. Moreover, the Magic Slayer can also dispel the effect of magic power and stop the effect of magic power. It's a formidable enemy for any witch."
"I … don't quite understand." Iffy was puzzled. "Isn't this a special ability?"
"It's not that simple," Aggie sighed. "Take Anna as an example. If she can become a Magic Slayer, it means that her Blackfire can exist even within the range of the God's Stone of Retaliation. At the same time, her Blackfire will form an interference zone around it, and all other abilities will be rendered ineffective — unless the opponent is another Magic Slayer."
Nightingale could not help but think of the dull black hole. From the beginning of the battle, the Magic Slayer's various attacks had not flashed with any magic power. Whether it was the barrier or the phantom claws, they all had extremely dim shadows, just like the scene when she was attacked by the Sigil of God's Will.
She briefly described what she had seen. "Is that why the Sigil of God's Will didn't completely kill it?"
"Probably," Agatha said with a shrug. "After all, it's my first time experiencing such a battle. There's no record of the Union using the Sigil of God's Will to fight against the Magic Slayer."
"Then they won with their own strength?"
"Exactly." Agatha nodded. "This is the real strength of Transcendents. Wearing the God's Stone of Retaliation, they are like the sun on the battlefield. Wherever they go, the demons will melt away like spring snow. And above the Transcendents is the center of the sun. If you can meet Lady Alice, you'll definitely be impressed by her power."
"Unfortunately, there's only one Alice," Nightingale thought. Even if all the Three Chiefs were included, there were only three Transcendents. "Has there never been a witch in the Union who became a Magic Slayer?"
"As far as I know... no," she replied. "And there probably never will be. Witches and demons are fundamentally different. Demons can give birth to countless Mad Demons, but we can't awaken countless Alice — no amount of training can change this. "
"Hey." Maggie, who had been fiddling with the armor, suddenly dug out a palm-sized cyan box from the black remains. "Look, what's this!"
Agatha took the box and tried to break it open. "It's locked."
"Let me try." Nightingale entered the Mist and looked at the square metal box. Just as the outline of the box changed, she put her finger into the box and pulled it open.
