“Huh…Huh…Who the hell are these guys? They’re so weird!”
Xiu Xiu was visibly furious. Though she was rude and violent, quicker to strike than to speak, she held a deep affection for her companions. Thinking of the two who had been killed, she felt a urge to abandon all considerations and, driven by her rage, to slaughter them all.
However, even if she wanted to do so, the enemy was infuriatingly strong.
In addition to Xiu Xiu and the other three masters, there were five other combatants. Xiu Xiu and the others had the advantage in numbers and were strong enough to compete with the White Light Knights. However, they were at a disadvantage in the battle situation.
Delay the opponent as much as possible? No, just delaying the opponent is already doing my best!
Xiu Xiu didn't even have time to curse before he was immediately attacked by a cold murderous intent.
A tall enemy wearing gauntlets was approaching at an alarming speed with earth-shaking footsteps. Xiu Xiu immediately crossed his arms to block the attack.
Although she is thin, she inherited the blood of the werewolf clan and her strength is unmatched by humans or demons.
However──
“But… Damn it!”
Xiu Xiu was sent flying. Even though he blocked the blow with both arms, the impact still reached him. There was a cracking sound, and a small, mournful cry echoed from one of his arms.
There was a sound like artillery fire, and Xiuxiu's body crashed into the rock wall, radiating cracks appeared on the wall, and half of her body was buried in the wall. At the same time—
“Guaaaa!”
Hearing his companion's screams, Xiu Xiu looked back and saw Tony holding his side with one hand while swinging his sword to fight the enemy.
Despite being stabbed, he immediately counterattacked and cut his enemy's abdomen.
However, the enemy seemed to feel no pain, and continued to attack Tony with blood spurting from his abdomen. Although Tony managed to twist his body, the sword pierced his shoulder.
In order to save Tony who was unable to dodge, Ivy rushed forward despite the enemy's blade cutting his body, spurting blood.
"These guys' recovery abilities are completely abnormal. Could they be orcs?!"
Ivy used a mid-air spinning kick to kick the enemy away, landing next to Tony and shouting.
That's right, the one who stabbed Dong Ni was the same enemy Ivy had stabbed in the back earlier. And although his abdomen was clearly cut, the bleeding had stopped.
Xiu Xiu yelled in response.
"They're all beastmen, and they even have healing magic? What a joke."
The enemy possessed the physical qualities of an orc, but orcs could not use magic, with the exception of those with inherent magic. So, were the six people attacking Xiu Xiu and the others all orcs with the same inherent magic?
No way, this is really a bad joke.
But it seems that this bad joke has just begun.
"Um?"
Xiu Xiu smashed the wall, regrouped, and made a surprised sound.
Because the man in gray who was gradually approaching suddenly stopped moving.
"A new enemy?"
A dark figure appeared from the inside of the passage, a figure in black, seemingly blending into the darkness. His gauntleted hands drooped, his head bowed, like a puppet without strings. Furthermore, unlike the other gray-clad figures, his mask's mouth was open, resembling the mouth of a wild animal.
It was truly eerie and terrifying. Xiuxiu's instincts issued a stern warning, and the animal blood in her body told her to "Don't fight! Run away!"
"Ha, who's afraid of who?"
Xiu Xiu wiped away the cold sweat roughly with the back of his hand.
She mentally silenced her instinct to protect herself. If she abandoned her companions and ran, her heart would die, and there would be no point in running away.
"Oh, Tony, can you still fight?"
"No problem, thanks to Oscar's potion."
Tony smiled triumphantly, pulling out what looked like a syringe from his pocket and injecting it into his injured flank and shoulder. This item allowed the healing potion to penetrate the affected area, delivering a more rapid and effective effect than oral administration. It was one of the items Oscar had invented and distributed to each branch.
"You guys can still fight, right?"
Even though they were covered in wounds, their companions' voices still answered "Yes!" with a strong voice.
Xiu Xiu didn't dare to be careless. He glared at the two newly appeared enemies and shouted in a powerful tone:
"As long as Uncle Marshall is here, there won't be any problems over there. Brothers, die bravely here!"
She regarded this place as her martyrdom place, and wanted to buy time for the children and the wounded to escape.
Hearing the command full of awareness, the only response he received was still a brave cry of "Excellent!!"
Then...
──Breaking through the limit
Only a tiny whisper was heard...
"what?"
Contrary to his brave character, Xiu Xiu uttered a confused question.
I saw that the enemy was right in front of me, and I felt a strange sensation in my abdomen.
—Ahh, I got hit.
The voice in her heart was so calm that even she was surprised. Then, she felt pain in her neck.
"Hai Xiu!!"
"Get out of here, you bastard!!"
In the corner of his vision, Xiu Xiu saw Ivy throwing a dagger.
But the dagger was easily knocked down in mid-air.
"Stop looking down on me!"
Xiu Xiu activated "Rejection", and the gray magic power turned into an impact and swept around, but the enemy retreated at an incredible speed.
Xiu Xiu pressed his hands on his abdomen and neck, and his body swayed.
“What are you doing…?”
The man in black stood quietly, as if the shock wave had no meaning to him.
The corners of his mouth were stained red, which was the blood from Xiu Xiu's neck.
"You are..."
Before Xiu Xiu revealed his origins, the pressure emanating from the enemy increased significantly. Due to Lassen's characteristics, he remained calm on the surface.
However, if you were on the ground, you would definitely see a strong torrent of magic power swirling into a vortex and rushing straight into the sky.
The enemy disappeared from sight, and even with Xiu Xiu's dynamic vision, he couldn't see his movements!
“Ugh!”
Xiu Xiu didn't even have time to realize the impact. She was trying her best just to keep herself from losing consciousness.
She only felt that she didn't know whether she hit the wall, the ground or the ceiling, and her body gradually became limp and powerless.
He was knocked to the ground, but his body was still unable to move.
(Damn it…)
In the gradually blurred vision, I saw my companions spurting blood one after another and being knocked away like toys.
Although Tony's simple sword barely blocked a few blows, but...
His sword was broken by the gauntleted steel fist and slashed diagonally by the enemy's knife.
Just then, I saw the enemy disappear like mist, and in an instant, one of Ivy's arms flew into the air.
(Move! Move!)
Xiu Xiu desperately grabbed the ground and tried to get up, but his body did not obey his master's command at all.
Tony fell to the ground, and Ivy was nailed to the wall by the enemy's sword, her whole body limp.
(Run! Run! Run to Meredith!)
Her consciousness was gradually swallowed by darkness, and all Xiu Xiu could do now was pray, which she hated the most.
The sound of Death approaching sounded particularly clear.
It was as if the light gradually faded away, and darkness enveloped the eyes...
(What is that?)
Finally, she seemed to see.
I saw a small white shadow.
Earlier, Xiu Xiu and the others encountered a strange new enemy.
"Mikaela, how is it?"
"Yes, Xiu Xiu and the others fought very hard, but...the enemy was unusual."
"Is this the church's new army?"
Hearing Michaela's hidden meaning that "If this continues, Xiu Xiu and the others will be in danger", Marshall's face showed a solemn expression.
He watched the non-combatants in the branch rushing to the emergency escape. Unlike other branches, this one would undoubtedly take a little longer due to the many injured and sick people who were unconscious.
Having said that, Marshall, the most powerful guard, cannot leave easily.
"It has to be done as soon as possible, please, Tim."
"Leave it to me."
If you successfully reach the deepest room in the emergency escape passage, you can reach the ground in an instant.
Simply cut the fixed ropes and the entire room will rise to the ground using the pulley principle. The room is also a resting place for Tim's beloved horse and messenger birds.
Because there were other horses and carriages, transporting those unable to move on their own was no problem. Led by Tata, the horses, strengthened by Tim, would carry them away at a speed comparable to that of the monsters.
"...Teacher, is the ground okay?"
Sixia, carrying a sleeping child on her back, asked Michaela, her face shrouded in deep worry.
"There's no problem at the moment, but the other party knows how to become invisible, so I can't be at ease."
"Is it the advanced light-attribute magic 'Bend Light'?"
"It could also be a divine artifact or something like that. Either way, it's very unusual."
Even if it was an artifact, it would undoubtedly be a threat, but if it wasn't an artifact, it would mean that the attacker could still maintain magic in Leshen, where magic power would dissipate.
Even if it can only last for a short time, it means that the other party is the owner and user of powerful magic.
However, the enemy that Xiu Xiu and the others are fighting now has very superior physical abilities.
The enemies are all at the master level in both magic and combat, which is really hard to laugh at.
Although Michaela tried to remain calm, her voice trembled.
Ruth carried Dilan on her back and murmured through gritted teeth:
"Why was this place discovered?"
"Ruth, now all you have to do is think about escaping and reuniting with your companions."
Hearing Marshall's words, Colleen nodded slightly. She glanced at Maureen, who was carrying Katie, and Colleen beside her. Both of them looked pale, but they still responded with strong gazes.
Other non-combatant staff members also ran desperately, carrying the unconscious and injured people in their arms.
Then, in less than ten seconds, they would reach the deepest room used for emergency escape—
Just at that moment.
"Captain Marshall!"
It was a stroke of luck that Mikaela had noticed. It seemed that Lesin's trait had indeed affected the attacker, causing the attacker's control to lose balance due to the massive expenditure of his magical power, thus creating a "ripple."
"Don't even think about it!"
Hearing Michaela's warning, Marshall, who was in charge of the rearguard, responded immediately.
He drew the greatsword from his back and held it before him like a shield. In an instant, a powerful impact sound echoed all around.
“Guoooooooooo!?”
The force of the impact was beyond imagination. Marshall's body, weighing over 100 kilograms, was crushed, and his feet left deep footprints on the ground.
