Since they were walking through the ruins, it didn't matter if it took a long time. But even so, there was no guarantee that they would be safe. Instead, the longer they waited, the more unpredictable the situation would become.
As for the Silent Coast, it was only a guess whether they would run into any danger. Besides, Dokibell didn't run into any danger last time.
"When did Dokibell pass by the Silent Coast?" Brofen suddenly asked.
"Two weeks ago," Sennefer said.
Everyone was speechless.
Indeed, the Overwatch Base was very far away from the Winter Palace. A mortal might not be able to get there even if they walked for a year.
However, for a phantasmal beast like Dokibell, a week was more than enough to travel from the Overwatch Bastion to the Winter Palace of Neil Ting via the Silent Coast route.
And yet, it only took Dokibell two weeks to travel from the Silent Coast to the Winter Palace!
How lazy could it be?!
"Two weeks? Even if a powerful figure did come, they would've left already," Brofen said. Brofen continued, "There's no way that a powerhouse would choose to stay in the remote and barren Silent Coast."
"The powerful figure in the third level of the Abyss is most likely a demon. If it's a demon, it wouldn't stay at the Silent Coast. It would probably go to the Demon Monastery on the other side of the Silent Coast, "Viffy added.
Sennefer had the same idea. However, it was better to be safe than sorry. It was better to bring up the potential danger ahead of time rather than trying to figure out how to deal with it in the nick of time.
After some discussion, the group decided to continue on the Silent Coast.
If they did run into a powerful figure, Brofen could just inject the "Boiling Blood" he extracted from Bechymos into Dokibell's body and make it go berserk for a short time. With all of its attributes increased, Dokibell would be faster than a truth-finder wizard. It should be able to escape.
After making the decision, the group sped up. However, Dokibell wanted to rest all the time. For it, hard work would lead to fat loss, and laziness would lead to fat gain.
Still, no matter how much it wanted to gain weight, it had no choice but to give in under Sennefer's violent urging.
On the snowy plains, their journey was very smooth. However, when they were about to leave the snowy plains, they encountered a Snow Wind Demoness.
After passing through the snowy plains, there was a continuous mountain range. The place where they met the Snow Wind Demoness was in the narrow crevice between two snowy mountains.
Accompanied by the howling wind, a Banshee with the lower half of her body wrapped in wind and snow blocked the only path. Her entire body was emitting the power of frost.
The sky was dark all year round, making it impossible to see her face clearly. Her hair fluttered in the wind. For a moment, everyone thought they were looking at another Sennefer.
"Should we continue?" A buzzing sound came from Dokibell's mouth. "She looks quite powerful. Why don't we find a place to rest first and wait for her to leave before we go?"
"Keep going," Sennefer ordered, her face expressionless. "Kill her."
"She hasn't made a move yet, so why waste your energy?" Doji Bill continued.
"She didn't do anything. But don't tell me you can't sense her malice?" Sennefer asked impatiently.
Dokibell stopped talking. Compared to humans, it was much more sensitive to emotions. Even from afar, it could sense the dense evil intent of the banshee. This kind of evil intent was not uncommon among abyssal demons.
For example, the Supreme Cult in the wizarding world used justice as their trump card to expel and kill all foreign creatures who tried to sneak into the Abyss. They were backed by the will of the Abyss.
Similarly, the will of the Abyss was also hostile to invaders like the wizards who tried to steal from the Abyss. And this display of hostility was why the vast majority of demonic creatures in the Abyss were filled with malice towards outsiders.
"How about this? You can do it after I get there." Dokibell was still bargaining. Killing a Snow Wind Demoness shouldn't be too difficult for it, but every bit of energy it wasted would reduce its weight. It wasn't worth it.
"Keep talking and I'll throw you into the sea when we reach the Silent Coast." Sennefer's voice came out from between her teeth. She was at the end of her patience.
Of course, Dokibell knew how dangerous the Silent Dead Sea was. It shuddered and stopped arguing with Sennefer. Instead, it dashed forward and decided to use Sprint to kill the Banshee in one strike.
As Dokibell moved, the bells on top of the church began to jingle. Dokibell's lazy aura instantly turned serious as it locked onto the Banshee's location.
Angor was also outside the church. He carefully observed Dokibell as it approached the Banshee.
The Banshee's lower body was made of wind and snow, while her upper body was humanoid. Her hair was covered with a pair of curved horns, and her eyes were filled with malice.
In a flash of white light, a large amount of ice shards appeared around Dokibell and shot at the Banshee.
"Ah …" The demoness uttered an indescribable cry. The ice fragments fell on her body, but they disappeared without a trace. They didn't cause any harm to her.
Dokibell leaped up and aimed at the Banshee with its giant paw. It was so fast that the Banshee couldn't dodge in time and was crushed into pieces.
However, the fragments turned into mist and soon reformed into the shape of a banshee beside Dokibell.
The Banshee let out a strange laugh. A blizzard came and blocked everyone's sight.
Angor frowned and tried to figure out what just happened. Suddenly, he sensed that something was wrong. A cold, murderous aura hidden in the snow suddenly appeared behind him.
In everyone's eyes, the banshee arrived with the wind. She suddenly showed up and pointed at Angor with a ferocious expression on her face!
The Banshee changed her target to Angor because Angor was too obvious. Among all the wizards on Dokibell's back, Angor was the weakest one.
Since she could not defeat Dokibell in a short time, and the other wizards were not easy to deal with, the banshee decided to kill the weakest one first before deciding whether to run or fight. She picked Angor as her target.
The Banshee's stealth ability even fooled Sennefer and allowed her to appear behind Angor.
"Watch out!" Madelyne dashed to Angor's side.
However, Madelyne was too slow. The banshee's sharp nails were about to pierce into Angor's body with the wind swirling around them.
Before anyone could react, Angor suddenly disappeared and reappeared on the other side of the church. At the same time, a raging fire appeared where he was standing.
The fire was weak, much weaker than the Banshee's frost, so it quickly disappeared.
However, the Banshee's action caught everyone's attention.
Not only did Angor dodge the attack, but he also launched a counterattack.
Could they do the same if they were in Angor's shoes? Brofen asked himself. If he were in Angor's shoes, he would probably use his bloodline to protect himself. However, he couldn't dodge the attack perfectly.
Angor moved so fast that only Sennefer could see what happened.
Even Sennefer couldn't understand what Angor did in that split second.
"Soul ejection, sequence of gravity, Fire Ignition, and Soul Return." Sennefer quickly made up her mind. It wasn't a secret that Angor had the sequence of gravity. When his music box was sold at a whopping price of 200,000 magic crystals, the magazine already found out about him.
People even guessed that Angor could only use the sequence of gravity after ejecting his soul.
However, it wasn't easy to use cantrips while ejecting one's soul. It wouldn't be strange if Angor was a wizard since he or she could learn Soul Link, which was a common Soul Manipulator spell that most wizards would learn.
But he was only an apprentice who could only learn about cantrips. How could he learn Soul Link?
Sennefer couldn't figure it out. She clearly saw that Angor didn't use any tools. He was using his own power to do so.
Could it be that there was a way to use elemental magic without using the Path of Soul Link?
As Sennefer pondered, Madelyne's attack had already reached the Banshee's back. If the Snow Demoness had escaped before, it would have been fine. However, now that she had been targeted by an official Magus, it would be difficult for her to escape.
With a flash of red light, the burning thorns restrained the banshee.
Under the scorching heat of the fire, the Banshee did not even last ten seconds before she dissipated into the air.
Madelyne finally came to Angor's side with a puzzled look. She wanted to ask how Angor managed to escape from the Banshee, but when she saw the curious looks from the others, she changed the topic. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Madelyne nodded and didn't ask anything else. Brofen and the others were a little disappointed, but they didn't really want to ask Angor for more details.
"See? You guys took care of her quickly. You didn't even need me," Dokibill said.
"First time I've ever seen you use ice on an elemental creature made of wind and snow." Sennefer's mocking voice reached Dokibell's ears. "At the same time, you're the only one who can do something as stupid as using physical attacks against elemental creatures."
Dokibill pouted. "I've never seen an elemental creature before …"
Angor was a little surprised when he heard Sennefer and Dokibill's conversation.
The Banshee was an elemental creature?
He had seen elemental spirits created by wizards before, but this was the first time he saw an elemental creature born in nature.
The mention of elemental creatures reminded him of the map he saw in the Shannon Palace.
