At the same time, on the broad street, a boy and a girl were running in the direction of the high-class residential area.
"Hurry up! Yuma! "
Gu Cheng shouted to Yuma behind him while panting.
"Got it! Don't be so anxious! "
Yuma was also panting. At first glance, it was obvious that she had consumed a lot of physical strength, but she could only follow Gu Cheng with a wry smile on her face.
It couldn't be helped. After receiving Xiao Sha's call, Gu Cheng was so worried that he ran around the house. He couldn't stay there any longer. In the end, Yuma suggested to meet up with Xiao Sha. Only then did Gu Cheng take action.
However, Gu Cheng, who was too anxious, rushed all the way here without stopping. Apart from taking the tram, he had been running all the way. You Ma had to spend a lot of effort to catch up with Gu Cheng.
If it weren't for the fact that she played with Gu Cheng since she was a child and knew Gu Cheng's physical strength was much better than ordinary girls, Yuma might not be able to keep up with Gu Cheng. Gu Cheng's action, which completely disregarded a girl's physical strength, was bound to receive a lot of complaints and criticism.
However, Yuma also knew why Gu Cheng was so anxious.
"Although Gu Cheng has always been a sis-con, the situation this time is not that simple."
Yuma, as the daughter of Mu Aye, was once a pureblood witch. Due to the necessity of liberating the Prison Barrier, she also learned about what Rozen and others had experienced so far.
Among them, it included the whole process of the Flaming Banquet.
Therefore, Yuma was very clear that if the Flaming Banquet might be involved in the incident that happened on String God Island, then as the former party involved, Rozen and others certainly couldn't stay out of it.
In that case, after Yusha called and explained the situation, it was understandable that Gu Cheng would be worried and anxious.
"It seems that Gu Cheng and Yusha suffered a lot in the Feast of Flame."
Yuma looked at Gu Cheng, who was hurrying on without stopping, and sighed in his heart.
"It would be great if I could help Gu Cheng."
If Yuma was still a Demoness, she wouldn't need to rush like this. She could just use the Space Control Magic and the two of them would have arrived at the Nangong Family a long time ago.
It was a pity that Yuma was no longer a Witch. The contract had been nullified by Rozen. Even though she had started to practice magic again, with Nakamura's guidance and experience, Yuma had only achieved a little. She was still far from being a Witch.
In fact, even if Yuma were to start training again, she might not even be able to return to the intensity she had when she was a Witch.
After losing the contract with the devil, Yuma also lost many things.
For example, the Witches relied on the Guardian to rival the Vampires' Familiars.
Another example was the magical power that was comparable to the High-Grade Demons.
After losing the contract, Yuma lost the Guardian and the magical power that was comparable to the High-Grade Demons. Even if the feeling and experience of using magic were still there, without the powerful magical power, Yuma could no longer use the Space Control Magic as she pleased.
In view of that, Yuma might not be able to catch up to her when she was a Witch. That might be the case.
But …
"That's good."
That's right.
That's good.
There was no need to follow that sad fate and contract anymore. Even if she lost her power and became an ordinary Magus, that was the future that Yuma was pursuing.
"Anyway, Gu Cheng is also an ordinary person. This is the best."
That was what Yuma had always thought.
Of course, Yuma was also working hard to recover her power.
After all …
"If you want to protect the people you care about, you can't do without strength."
That was what Nakamura taught Yuma.
That was how she protected her most important brother from all kinds of evil intentions.
Therefore, Yuma had made up her mind to become stronger and protect the people important to her.
It was because of this thought that Yuma would be able to feel fortunate countless times in the future.
She was glad that she had been improving herself and successfully protected the people she loved today.
“.....！”
Just as she was about to enter the high-class residential area, Yuma suddenly felt a chill on the back of her neck.
It was a warning brought by the intuition of a Magus. It was the constant training and improvement recently, causing her five senses to become extremely sensitive as her magical power increased.
"Gu Cheng!"
Feeling the chilly sensation that made one's scalp go numb, Yuma did not even think twice before pouncing on the ancient city.
"Ow!"
Gu Cheng did not expect Yuma to suddenly pounce on him and let out a panicked cry.
Then …
"Bang!"
An explosive sound rang out.
The sound came from the wall beside them.
A bullet suddenly cut through the air, grazed the place where Gu Cheng was a second ago, and landed on the wall, blasting a small hole.
This scene was seen by the orc girl on the rooftop of a building about a kilometer away through the scope.
.....
"Bang …!"
Carly let go of the sniper rifle in annoyance.
"The sniper rifle failed!"
Words of extreme unwillingness came from Carly's mouth.
Hearing this, Dissapo and Chihe Ishito reacted.
"Did the first shot fail?"
Dissapo murmured.
"Loki."
Chihe Ishito frowned and sighed. Without saying anything, he pressed the radio on his ear and made a notification.
"Got it."
Loki's voice sounded in the radio.
At the same time, Dion's voice came.
"Dissapo, Sensei, we've probably been discovered."
Dion's emotionless voice made Dissapo and Chihe Ishito smile bitterly.
"Then, it's our turn, Dissapo."
Chihe Ishito said helplessly.
"Fine."
Dissapo was silent for a while, then she smiled freely.
.....
On the other side, Gu Cheng and Yuma, who were lying on the ground together, looked at the wall that was hit by the bullet and gasped at the same time.
"This …"
Gu Cheng, who was lying on the ground, was dumbfounded.
Yuma, who had pushed Gu Cheng down, felt lucky and scared at the same time.
Because Yuma knew what it was.
"Sniper …!?"
Without thinking, Yuma shielded Gu Cheng, who had yet to react, behind him.
In front of him …
"Really, do we still have to attack in the end?"
Along with this voice, a petite boy with a neutral body appeared out of thin air.
There was a swaying mirage around the boy, emitting a high temperature difference.
Yuma's expression changed as she looked at this young man, who had a perfectly proportioned face and unnatural short blue hair that was like a work of art.
"An artificial life form?"
Yes.
The boy was not a human, but an artificial life form.
However, there was a flame burning on this artificial life form.
"Sorry, we're in a hurry. Can you please die?"
The boy named Loki stared at Yuma, or rather, at Gu Cheng, who was behind Yuma, who had not reacted yet. His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Seeing this, Yuma's expression turned solemn and he felt helpless.
"This is troublesome."
