Understand humans!

Aura bit her lip and thanked him with difficulty.

At this point, she, Aura, would never dare to say that she was a horned demon! !

But, but——Aura still planned to give it a try.

Since reaching this era, Aura has never done anything bad. Of course, this is due to the laws that Fulilian issued at the beginning, but... putting aside the facts, isn't this a reason why Aura wants to turn over a new leaf and become a demon again! ?

Of course not—Aura knew it herself.

But Volame didn't know that.

"Fulame, I have a friend who calls herself a kind demon." Aura asked tentatively.

"Ah~ I have friends like this too!" Volame replied happily.

"Uh? Really? Where is it now?"

"in my possession."

"..."

Aura stared at her "friend" who had only a head left in Volame's hand, and remained silent.

"This demon told me that he wanted to understand humans and was willing to show kindness to them. He even saved an entire village from a disease."

"Then why did you kill it?"

"After saving a village of humans, it lived with them for a while, and then one night, it suddenly massacred the entire village. Aura, guess how it explained it?"

"how to explain?"

"The demons understand that humans need long periods of time to conduct experiments. Each experiment will inevitably leave waste. Don't you humans know how to dispose of the waste? - This is what it explained to me."

"........."

"Isn't that incomprehensible?"

“It’s hard to understand.”

"So I, Volame, won't believe a single punctuation mark in the goodwill the demons are talking about... The only way to make the demons better is to break their heads!"

"That's it!"

"So where is your demon friend now, Aura?"

"He's dead, he's already dead. I killed him by mistake!"

Sweat flowed down my back.

Aura's face was pale, but fortunately she was wearing a mask so Volame couldn't see it. But from Aura's deliberately controlled calm tone, no one could tell that there was a problem.

"A dead demon is a good demon."

"That's it!"

At this point, I, Aura, cannot say that I am a good demon no matter what...

Chapter 14 You are a freak among the demons, right?

During the conversation, Volame's eyes suddenly widened.

Pfft!

When the sound of the magic cannon piercing the air rang out, Aura had no time to react.

tear-

Just when she thought she was going to die, rocks rose up from behind her and formed a high wall, blocking the magic cannon. After all, this was not the killing magic of the Corrupted Sage, and it did not have the penetrating speed close to that of a light beam.

The obstruction created by the rock was enough for Aura to cast defensive magic.

swing--

The defensive magic that could even block killing magic naturally blocked the magic cannon with ease. The diamond-shaped translucent shield scattered the black and purple magic cannon in all directions, burning melted holes on the ground and in the surrounding woods.

"Huh? The only chance to defend yourself was not given to yourself, but to someone else?"

A voice came from the shadows in the forest.

Aura turned around, only to see Volame, who was holding his stomach and remained silent, and two demons who walked out of the shadows and lifted the invisibility magic.

One is tall and the other is short. The tall one has short horns while the short one has long horns. They have similar faces and should be demons with the same bloodline. The aura they exude has reached the standard of a great demon, which makes Aura feel threatened.

After all, her strong point is not frontal combat, and her most proud obedience magic cannot be used because of the lack of key props.

"Aura, run away... I'll hold them back."

Volame was half-kneeling on the ground, blood unstoppably flowing out of the hole she was covering, and probably also her internal organs such as intestines. It was already very good that she could stay conscious, and it was impossible for her to fight fiercely.

“I was careless—”

Although she was seriously injured and her consciousness was hazy, Volame's mind was very clear. She judged the enemy's situation in an instant. The magic aura of her and Aura combined was no match for the two demons. The best case scenario was that Aura ran away quickly, and she used her remaining strength to hold the demons back.

I can probably stay awake for another thirty seconds.

"Thirty seconds. This is the time I can buy you, Aura."

Volame's voice was calm, and his tone was even. He didn't sound like he was on the verge of life or death, but rather normal.

——It was indeed normal. Ever since Volame made slaying demons his life’s work, he had been mentally prepared for situations similar to today.

Ya-Aura, don't be sad about my death... As long as I let you live and continue to kill the demons, my death will be meaningful... You must stay calm and don't act on impulse, at this moment...

"Make the best decision, Aura!!"

Peng——

Aura hit her hard on the back of the head. Poor Volame didn't even see who the attacker was, and fell down in a daze with blood all over her head.

"Huh?" x2

The scene of their companion being stabbed in the back stunned the two big demons who were chasing them for a moment, and then their attention shifted to Aura who had taken off his headscarf, revealing the demon horns.

"We are both demons. Since you don't know my identity, I will forgive you for attacking me before."

Aura spoke slowly, her eyes falling on Volame who was already lying on the ground. Aura's hands were still shaking, her face was distorted, and she was enduring the pain of violating the magic. "Don't hurt humans" was the order that made her knock Volame unconscious from behind, which was already the limit. It was completely impossible to cause further harm to her.

Now, she can only hope that her two compatriots can help her kill this great enemy of the demon clan!

"Do it quickly!"

Aura stared at Volame on the ground, alert for signs that she might wake up.

The two demons looked at each other, reacted quickly, and the magic cannon appeared in the air again.

Boom! ! !

The smoke and dust cleared, revealing Aura beneath the intact protective shield, furious.

"Wait, are you crazy? Why are you attacking me?!"

"We heard it. You are her friend too, right?"

"Ridiculous! How can demons be friends with humans?"

"Then why are you standing in front of this human?"

"Uh?"

Aura was stunned, looking down, and found that she had stood in front of the unconscious Volame without knowing when, and put up defensive magic.

If she hadn't blocked him, the attack from the two demons would have easily crushed Volame into a paste.

The body... acted on its own... This was definitely not Aura's intention.

But…but…there are no conditions for the activation of obedience magic! It is clearly just "don't harm humans", but there is no rule, she can't "just sit there and watch humans get hurt".

What the hell does this happen? !

"Although it is rare and we have only heard about it, there are still demons who have defected to the human side."

"I'm not, I don't! I'm a pure-blooded demon from the red family!"

"You're lying. Which demon has such rich emotions?"

"........."

"You are a mutated freak among the demons, right?"

"……maybe."

It was difficult to explain. Looking at the staff held up opposite him, Aura gritted his teeth, took up one of Volame's arms, and placed her on his back.

Then Volame must not die.

She had just knocked Volame unconscious, and the backlash from the obedience magic had already caused cracks in her spirit. If Volame really died, it would be because of her. The subsequent backlash from the obedience magic, although it would not kill Aura, would definitely cause severe damage to her spirit. At the very least, she would suffer from schizophrenia, and at the worst, she would faint directly.

No matter which situation it was, she had no way to escape from the pursuit of the two great demons.

"Volame, Volame—"

Aura lowered his head, staring at the face of this human magician who only existed in legends, and he let out a long sigh, unable to hide his sadness.

"Why do I have to save you every time?"

"Does the goddess really favor you but not me?"

Then, the sound of magic cannons rang out, and beams of killing magic pierced through the mountain.

-

"She ran away."

"Yes."

"Very strong, that unknown demon."

“I didn’t use my full strength.”

"Indeed, judging by the smoothness of the flow of magic, she should have better magic, so why not use it?"

"Luckily it didn't work."

"Otherwise we might have died."

High on the mountain, two mutilated figures floated in the air, looking around, but they did not find any trace of the target for a long time.

Of the two demons, the taller one had one hand and one foot broken, and there was a huge gap in the middle of his torso. There was no bleeding, and the cross-section of the wound was all burnt by the high temperature. They had never encountered such an attack magic with such strong penetrating power.

The shorter demon was more seriously injured. Only one horn was left on his head, and the other horn and half of his head were missing. There were not many wounds on his body, and it was obvious that the attacker was prepared to kill with one blow.

It just failed because of their special magic.

Mirror copy magic requires two users, and the flow of magic in the users' bodies is highly consistent. The effect is shared perception and life. As long as the two people are not injured in the same fatal part at the same time, they can survive. They can even repair fatal injuries by mirroring the other party's undamaged fatal parts.

Except for a overlapping wound on the right shoulder, the rest of the injuries of the two demons were healing rapidly. It was visible to the naked eye that the flesh and hair were growing back.

They looked around again, but still could not find any remaining trace of magic.

This level of magic power elimination is simply not something that the demons who usually indulge in the dissipation of their magic power can do - this discovery undoubtedly confirmed the two demons' speculation that the purple-haired demon had betrayed and turned to humans.

"That human has killed quite a few demons recently."

"You've never seen this person before?"

"It was as if it suddenly appeared. I gained magical knowledge beyond the human beings of this era. The flow of magic power, the construction of magic, and the concealment of aura, every part was done perfectly."

"Can I know who her teacher is?"

"I can't be sure, but it's definitely not human. The technology she used is definitely not something that humans can master today."

Chapter 15 Why Do I Have to Save You?

The two demons spoke one by one, discussing the recent changes in the situation between humans and demons. Unlike the previous situation where humans were completely overwhelmed and had no ability to resist, recently, it seemed that resistance had appeared everywhere, and it was a powerful resistance.

The future seen by Lord Shuharat, who has the ability to see the future, has also changed, but the reason for the change has not been discovered yet.

All I know is that the many advance arrangements made against people who might pose a threat to the demons in the future had failed a few times. Maybe the human named Volame who hunted the demons everywhere was one of the human possibilities that had not been completely eliminated.

Although she escaped this time, they couldn't care less. There were more possibilities of humans that needed to be killed than just Volame. There were too many possibilities of humans. No matter how they weaved the net, there would always be omissions.
