"In any case, Head Maid, thank you very much."

Very solemnly, Camisia bowed to Ruthie. If the people present didn't know what had happened, they would definitely mistakenly think that Ruthie had really done something big because of Camisia's extremely serious expression.

Lotte said with a somewhat troubled smile.

"I understand, but Miss Camisia is too serious..."

"No, this is a ceremony that cannot be omitted."

"Ahahaha... Camisia is surprisingly good at joking."

Ella's mood was too complicated, so she could only change the subject.

But Camisia obviously disagreed with this statement.

"This is no joke, Princess-sama. I have just now fully grasped the true meaning of the Golden Cat's Eyes bestowed upon me by the previous Demon King. All of this must have been planned so that I could admire your heroic presence today. It is certain that even the Sun Wheel cannot compare to you at this moment. You are beyond myth!"

"No... I think the previous Demon King simply gave you the item. Ultimately, that description is an exaggeration no matter how you put it."

Ella couldn't help but want to let her twin tails down. She really wondered if she would be attacked by Camisia in the middle of the night if she continued like this. Although she wouldn't do anything excessive, she would definitely become a hug pillow.

While thinking about this, Ella glanced at the "Terrain Search", preparing to inform everyone of the army's existence, and then -

"Gerald, don't go too far! 'Scarlet Nova'!"

"I think you're the one, Mitis. A demihuman should have the consciousness of a demihuman! 'Glorious Armguard'."

boom!

A flash of red streaked across the sky, colliding with a dazzling white light. A mountain about four hundred meters high roared like it was collapsing.

Chapter 5: Vampire Girl

"what happened?"

"Now's not the time to talk about this!"

Grabbing Angelina, Ella began to run towards the carriage. The distance from here to the carriage was about fifty meters, barely enough to avoid the rolling boulders.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Mitis swung the white parasol that served as a weapon. Unlike its fragile appearance, this parasol was a special product made by weaving special metal into fibers. There was also a structure similar to the tip of a sword on the top. When folded, it could be used as a main weapon, and when opened, it could resist magical attacks. Although this type of strange weapon usually has high requirements for the user, it is nothing for a vampire who has lived for more than fifty years.

Letting her long pink hair flutter in the wind, Mitis smacked her lips as she stayed in the air with the help of her wings.

"Tsk, is it still the same? It's really hard."

After he finished speaking, a figure emerged from the cracked rocks. Although his short hair had turned white with age, his strong body and cheetah-like eyes still revealed the old man's extraordinary qualities.

Gerard, who was smashed into the mountain by Mitis's attack, clenched his hands hard to shake off the crystal debris covering his arms.

"Hmph, if you weren't a vampire, that single blow would have already determined the outcome."

"Doesn't this just prove that humans are just a weak race? To insist on human supremacy even now is to be expected. You're really getting old and useless."

With a victorious attitude, Mitis lifted her pink hair vigorously.

There is no doubt that anyone who sees her will think that Mitis is a rare and beautiful woman. Apart from the physical characteristics of a vampire - fangs and bat wings - it would not be wrong to say that Mitis was carefully carved by God.

Long pink hair and jewel eyes of the same color, paired with a strange headdress woven with feathers and devil horns, a corset dress with a hem that is so short that it barely covers the key parts, a slender waist and a chest of the right size, and high-quality black over-the-knee socks with the absolute area exposed above them, as the name suggests, the whole body exudes a bewitching temptation. If she were to walk down the street like this, countless men would surely stop and stare.

In comparison, the vampire's physical features have become the highlight, the parasol weapon also complements the girl's identity, and the fangs slightly exposed at the corners of the mouth even make people want to take the initiative to become a sacrifice.

Gerard snorted coldly, not moved by Mitis' words.

"Demihumans are still demihumans. If it weren't for your contributions to the empire, I would have eliminated you long ago."

Mitis just shrugged indifferently.

"Same."

But having said that, in reality, Mitis has little loyalty to the empire. He became one of the commanders of the army simply out of spontaneity. I find this interesting. That's about it.

Mitis glanced around.

"Isn't it time to end this meaningless fight? I won't come looking for you and you won't come looking for me either. How about that?"

"Do you think I'm as careless as you?"

"You—tsk."

When her eyes caught the blue light that Gerard cast towards her, Mitis instantly opened her parasol and blocked it in front of herself. Then she felt a strong impact on her wrist, and the slight stinging sensation made Mitis frown.

"Since you insist on fighting, let's have a showdown!"

"etc!"

Just as Mitis moved the parasol away and was about to take real action, Gerard's shout came from the other side of the parasol.

Unable to understand why the always stubborn Gerard would stop here, Mitis curled up the corners of her mouth.

"Hoho? Are you trying to distract me?"

"Hurry up and save them!"

"What?"

Gerard's anxious voice made Mitis feel a little confused. She moved the parasol away cautiously, and then she saw Gerard jumping off the cliff quickly.

"You're actually using acceleration while falling? Are you crazy!?"

But soon Mitis knew the reason, and frowned instantly with an expression of "Oh no!" - although the distance was a bit far, she could still see a group of people at the bottom of the mountain about to be buried by rolling rocks. There was no doubt that those falling rocks were the result of her previous battle with Gerard.

Without making any judgment, Mitis flapped her wings quickly and dived down at the speed of an arrow. If she just saw these people being crushed to death by rolling stones with her own eyes, she would only feel a little pity at most. But if she was the culprit, the guilt would weigh heavily on her chest like a dark cloud, so she had to avoid it at all costs.

Completely ignoring the rapidly receding scenery around her and the cool breeze blowing past her ears, Mitis made a preliminary assessment of the falling rocks, the escapees, and her own speed, then shouted to Gerard who was not far away.

"Leave the front to me, and you take care of the back."

There was no response, but Mitis didn't care. Since the task had been assigned, the consequences of the other party's failure to execute it had nothing to do with her - although she would still feel uncomfortable afterwards.

She continued flapping her wings, trying to increase her speed, but her body could only reach this limit. Mitis weighed the pros and cons for a moment.

"That's enough. We'll talk about the battle later. If these people were human, Gerard wouldn't mention the duel again for a while. 'Speed ​​up'."

The short chant ended quickly. After getting used to the feeling of being wrapped in green all over her body, Mitis's speed increased again.

[At this rate, it should be no problem to carry two people at a time. Let's choose the brown, purple, and gold ones.]

After making the decision, she no longer hesitated and rushed straight towards the three people she had chosen. Unlike Gerald, she was a fighter who focused on attacking. Although she could choose to help the three people to pick up or smash the fallen rocks one by one in this situation, there was no guarantee that they would not be hit by stray bullets, so the best option was to take them away with speed.

As for Gerard, since he is a warrior who focuses on defense and can also use the "Earth Shield" which has a very wide range of defensive magic, there is no need to worry at all.

Thinking of this, Mitis suddenly felt regretful. With Gerard's ability, he could protect everyone without any problem, and she didn't need to help at all. If she could defeat Gerard when he wasn't paying attention, Gerard might not bother her again in the future, and she wouldn't have to worry about this kind of thing every day.

"Forget it. There's no point regretting a decision. Let's just hurry up."

With a sigh, Mitis drove the thoughts out of her mind and began to focus on the six people who were about to be hit by the falling rocks. Knowing that she could guarantee the safety of these people, she now had only two thoughts. One was that she hoped these people belonged to the human species protected by Gerald, so that Gerald would not bother her for a while because of guilt. The other was that she hoped these people would entertain her during the boring journey that followed, considering that she had saved their lives.

Chapter 6: Fateful Encounter

"Why are you running? Aren't Teacher Camisia and Senior Iris here?"

Although Ella grabbed Angelini who was still standing there, Angelini gave such a response. It is also worth mentioning that because Angelini is now a level 24 warrior, Ella in normal state has no way to pull Angelini.

Standing next to An Jie Ni, Shen Gan also said that there was no need to run away.

"Senior, please be calmer."

"But how can I stay calm in this situation?"

Countless rocks the size of two-story buildings rolled down from the top of the mountain with a rumble, carrying with them floating dust. It looked like a huge wave formed by the rocks. Both the momentum and the sound were extremely terrifying. If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely be scared to the point of their legs going weak and unable to think. The fact that Ella thought of escaping at the first moment was the result of sufficient training.

"...Anyway, please just stay here, senpai."

Shen Gan patted Ella's shoulder and pinched Ella's golden hair tied into two ponytails without any nervousness. She looked very fresh.

"I can block an attack of this magnitude even if I'm alone. I'll need to use Ella-chan's reinforcement magic, but then again, Ella-chan could block it with her Fire Arrows, right? Even I can't instantly deploy multiple 'Magic Shields'."

"Wait, um... what is that?"

As soon as Iris finished speaking, Lotte pointed to two objects falling with the boulder in the distance. Although they were not very clear due to the sand and gravel, the light shining on their bodies became a landmark.

"Eh...really, it looks like there are two people."

With the elves' good eyesight, Angeline responded.

But Camisia frowned.

"Two people?"

"Yes, there's a woman with bat wings and an old-looking man. These two are probably responsible for the commotion."

Perhaps thinking that saying this would confuse everyone, Angeline continued to add.

"Just when Ella-chan was about to say something, wasn't there a quarrel in the sky? I remember hearing the names of some magic spells, something like the third-tier attack spell 'Vermillion Nova' and the third-tier defense spell 'Radiant Armguard'. And then the mountain collapsed—and now I can't see them anymore. They seem to have hidden behind some rocks."

"It really causes trouble for others."

Fukagan sighed in an emotionless tone.

"Let's put that aside for now, Camisia. Please protect the carriage. Leave this to Ella and me."

"I do want to stay here, though."

Although she said so, Camisia only glanced at Iris and then turned into a stream of light and jumped towards the carriage in the distance. This was something only Camisia could do. Even if she was reluctant, there was nothing she could do. It was better than watching the horses being crushed to death.

Then Iris looked at Ella and lifted the blonde hair that was disguised as human behind her - the blonde hair now was a product that had been improved by Iris and hardly caused any feeling of stuffiness.

"Well then, Ella-chan, let's begin."

"Eh? I'm the only one here? Didn't Iris just say we were together?"

"Ella-chan can do this by herself, right? Things like 'Ice Wall' and 'Magic Shield'. And if the target isn't a living thing, just a boulder, can't you use offensive magic as well? 'Breaking Technique', 'Crimson Wings', 'Majesty'. Even if 'Strong Airstream' isn't powerful enough, 'Wind Pestle' should work, right?"

"That's right..."

"So go ahead and try it out. It's a rare opportunity."

Iris pushed Ella from behind, urging her to move forward.

"And even if something happens, I will help, even though it's unlikely to happen."

Iris is fully confident in Ella's strength under the Fire Arrow. Although it cannot be calculated in this way in a strict sense, based on the current situation, the Fire Arrow can increase the power of the original skill by three levels. That is, the first-level magic cast by Ella is equivalent to the power of the fourth-level magic, and the second-level magic is equivalent to the power of the fifth-level magic. With Ella's current strength of level 21, resisting the boulder is as easy as it can be.

Of course, Ella herself also understood this matter. The reason she hesitated was simply because she was not confident enough. Compared to the omnipotent state of the Loli God, it was natural for her to feel insecure in the healer state.

Following Iris's urging, Ella shrank her neck, took a few steps forward, and blocked her companions behind her.

"That is—'Concentration of Mind', 'Attribute Enhancement', 'Power Blessing', and 'Perception Enhancement'."

After releasing a series of strengthening magic spells almost without chanting, Ella focused her attention on the first boulder in front of her, less than forty meters away. Compared to the soft skills like "Wind Pestle", the offensive and defensive "Majesty" was more reliable.

Taking a deep breath, Ella began to imagine the scope of use of "Majesty" - because the majesty is a column of light that rises from the ground with herself as the center and envelops the user, so she only needs to imagine the length of the diameter to cast it.

A diameter of approximately ten meters was chosen.

Inserting the arrow of fire into the ground, Ella opened her lips slightly.

"Powerful——"

“Get out of the way!”

"Eh?"

call--

There was no time to react at all. The ground began to spin and her ears were filled with the sound of wind. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in the air and the surrounding scenery was rapidly receding backwards. In an instant, Ella's nerves were tense and she raised her head to look for the reason.

"Don't look at it anymore, you're already saved."

"……Um?"

The sudden sound made Ella unable to react for a moment.

"Hmm, are you scared silly?"

The owner of the voice seemed to be troubled, and his flying speed gradually decreased, and he finally landed under the shade of a tree. Two landing sounds were heard one after another. Naturally, Ella immediately began to look for the reason - the other party must be right behind her.
