Understand humans!

By the way, why does the back of my head hurt so much even though I dodged all the demons’ attacks targeting my head?

Oh, and the demons...

Did Aura defeat those two demons alone... Eh... The probability is not high, so I might have fallen into the hands of the demons.

What happens to humans who fall into the hands of the demons? They seem to be eaten. Will I be eaten too? Or have I already been eaten?

“Being eaten?”

Volame opened his eyes completely, and felt the existence of his limbs and a sharp pain in his abdomen, as if some damn thing had reached in and stirred it violently.

Looking down, he saw a purple-haired demon leaning over with his head buried in his abdomen, moving his head as if he was eating something. The red cloth that was the only thing covering his body had been lifted up, and Volame could already feel a tongue drilling into his belly button.

"Asshole!!!"

Volame's blood boiled and his eyes were bloodshot.

"What have you done to my body!"

He reached out to take it, but unexpectedly the staff was nearby. As soon as the object was taken away by magic, the staff immediately flashed back into the owner's hand.

Then, without any hesitation, Volame aimed at the purple-haired demon's head in front of his abdomen and fired a close-range magic cannon, which immediately resounded! !

Boom! ! !

In her rage, Volame's magic output was even greater than she had imagined, but even with such a powerful magic cannon, it only blasted the purple-haired demon away without hurting her.

When the smoke cleared, the purple-haired demon who was blown away not far away slowly stood up. A layer of translucent diamond-shaped shield that Volame had never seen before protected the demon, and not a single drop of magic cannon penetrated it.

"Damn it."

Volame did not continue to attack at the first moment, but checked her body. Her clothes were taken off, but she was wrapped in a layer of red cloth, like a cloak. Volame recognized the material. It belonged to Aura. It seemed that Aura saved her.

Then it was his own body. He untied the red cloth wrapped around his body and looked at his abdomen. The dense bite marks and the blood from licking marks were chilling to his eyes.

"I did it. My technique is pretty good."

The demon's voice came from the opposite side. Volame looked up and saw that the purple-haired demon had removed the magic shield, revealing his face. It was a face with blood in his mouth, and he was licking his lips, looking extremely happy.

"So it was you who did it—"

Volame's face darkened and he covered his abdomen. Fortunately, he woke up in time, otherwise he would have been eaten up by the demon.

Damn it, why am I the only one who fell into a coma... Wait, alone?

Volame's pupils dilated.

Where's Aura? ! !

Where is Aura?!

Looking around, Volame did not see Aura. The only remnant of that person seemed to be the red cloth wrapped around her body.

A look of fear spread in Volame's eyes.

"Aura!"

"Aura!!!"

"Where are you?!"

She screamed loudly around her, her voice hoarse and crying.

"I'm here~~" the voice came from the demon.

Volame stiffened and turned around in disbelief.

The purple-haired demon was seen putting the half-broken mask on his face, revealing a mocking and cruel smile.

Volame shuddered, recognizing that the mask was Aura's personal item, and a chill spread from her spine from bottom to top.

Boom! ! !

The surging magic cannon sounded again, and the magic power fluctuated with the owner's emotions. This time the magic cannon was two meters in diameter, penetrating the forest for several kilometers and spreading into Aura's entire body.

She had to use almost all her strength to deploy defensive magic to protect her body in order to survive the surging magic cannon.

Uh?

why?

Aura's eyes were dull and he didn't understand.

She had clearly done her best to be friendly, and wasn't her smile sweet enough? This was clearly a combination of data from thousands of human smiles that she had integrated to create the best way to stretch the facial muscles.

It is the smile that can touch the human nerves the most.

Aura forced out another desperate smile towards Volame, but what she thought was a pleading smile was met with even more violent magical bombardment, and this time even her defensive magic was in jeopardy.

Volame is indeed a genius who has promoted the promotion of magic to the entire human race by his own efforts. After facing defensive magic only twice, he realized that it was not good at dealing with the characteristics of physical suppression. He tilted the magic cannon, lifted the soil layer, and pressed the defensive magic with gravel and heavy soil. It didn't take much effort to cause cracks in the defensive magic.

"Why do you have such a mocking expression? What did you do to Aura..."

"I saved you!!!" Aura retorted with all her might.

She didn't understand what kind of weird creatures humans were! She was friendly... She also expressed it, and smiled... She also had it, why did humans still regard her as an enemy? Could it be that she spent so much time imitating humans, but still couldn't eliminate the communication gap between humans and demons? !

"Who are you looking for? I am..."

"Are you still trying to say that you are Aura?!"

“…Don’t you think so?”

"As expected, the demons are willing to tell any lie in order to survive."

"........."

"Pah—what a shameless creature."

Volame spat out a mouthful of blood foam in disgust, her eyes still fixed on the purple-haired demon, that strange person who was like her best friend and teacher. She had already lost her once and must not lose her a second time.

If Aura really was trying to save her and was eaten by the demons.

Then what was the point of her desperately practicing magic and spending all her time hunting demons? She was still losing money - hadn't this fact changed?

There was deep sadness in Volame's eyes, but even so, her hands were still tightly clenched around her wand.

The murderous intent continues unabated.

"I've seen many demons who try to survive by pretending to be important humans. But you're the first one who can't even provide convincing proof of such a poor imitation!"

"........."

Gan! !

Aula's eyes widened, unable to express himself.

Why do I have to prove myself?

Chapter 18 Maybe She Is Not a Good Demon

The great battle royale between the great demons and the ancestor of human magic has begun——

Volame's progress was faster than Aura had imagined.

In the face of the modern, rapidly developing magic system, even the great demons, if they lag behind by a hundred years, will be at a loss when faced with the magic of the new era due to the iteration of technology.

For example, the Corrupted Sage Guval, as a demon sage who developed the "killing magic", was also a leader among the great demons. However, after being sealed for nearly a hundred years, when faced with the latest "defensive magic", it was killed on first sight by a small human magician because it was not familiar with the characteristics of "defensive magic".

Not to mention, the human magician Volame from a thousand years ago.

None of the magic she knew could break through the limitations of defensive magic. Aula, who possessed five hundred years of magic power, could afford the consumption even if she activated defensive magic at a 360-degree angle.

In the first hundred moves, Volame couldn't even touch Aura's body.

If Aura had not been restrained by obedience magic and unable to fight back, and had not been running away, the first hundred moves would have been enough for her to kill Volame.

But after a hundred moves, the situation changed completely.

After the hundredth magic attack, Aura was still absent-mindedly holding up the defensive magic, moving at high speed with her back to Volame. She was waiting for Volame's magic power to be exhausted, or for the wound to split open due to the intense movement. By then, even if she could not hurt Volame, she could still use her absolute advantage to negotiate with Volame.

But when the remaining beams of magic disappeared on the surface of the defensive magic, there was still no magic that penetrated in, but Aura felt a pain in her head and she was stunned.

Blood flowed down his forehead, spread over his eyebrows, and finally into Aula's left eye.

A bloody red.

When she touched upwards, she felt a piercing pain in her left horn. There was a wound like a slash, which was split across the base of her left horn and almost cut it off.

"Success!"

Volame's voice came from behind. Aura looked around and found that there was no crack in any of the diamond-shaped structures of the defensive magic.

How did she do it?

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Impossible! It's impossible for a magician of this era to break defensive magic!" she murmured in disbelief.

"Haha, but my teacher taught me magic that transcends this era."

"Your teacher, that old immortal."

No wonder.

No one knows how much of the magic that Celie, the magician who lived from the mythological age to the present, has been lost in history. If it were her, it would not be surprising that she could crack the magic of the future in this era.

"You deserve to die for insulting my teacher!"

The magic cannon beam came again. This time, Aura did not use defensive magic to block it, but dodged it.

Then he fled in panic again.

One beam of magic cannon followed another, without end. Volame's magic power seemed to be bottomless.

"Why do you have to keep chasing me? Even if I lied to you, I didn't hurt your life, did I?"

"My teacher is missing, you must have killed her!"

"How can I kill her?!"

Aura's eyes widened. Did he kill Celia? What on earth happened to make Volame have such an illusion?

That monster, is there anything in the world that can kill her?

"Wait... don't run away... cough cough..."

When the coughing sounded, Aura's heart moved and her fast legs slowed down. She took the time to look behind her and saw that Volame was holding her abdomen with a look of pain.

It seems that it wasn't the magic power that was exhausted first, but the body that couldn't hold on?

"Hey, hey, we can talk, right? You should have noticed that I never fought back against your offenses. I just put up a shield to protect myself... Maybe we can try to talk and maybe we can reconcile?"

Aura's proposal seemed to have struck a chord with Volame. As Aura stopped, she also stopped tacitly, leaving a distance of a hundred meters between the two of them. No one dared to get close to the other, and they were wary of each other from a distance.

"I am sincere. If I continue to run, you may not be able to catch up with me." Aura reminded Volame loudly.

Without paying attention, she crushed a piece of soil under her feet and fell down from the bottomless cliff behind her. Aura looked down silently and found that she had nowhere to retreat, and the sweat on her forehead was getting more and more.

Aura is a magician who has mastered the magic of flying. She is not afraid of falling from heights, but this does not mean that she can fly long distances. The magic power consumed by flying magic is higher than that of defensive magic, and both consume a lot of attention. Even if she wants to fly down from the cliff with her magic power, she will most likely become Volame's aerial target. If she is not careful, she may lose her footing and fall, and be smashed into a meat paste.

Fortunately, due to health reasons, Volame did not chase after him.

The human girl opposite turned pale due to the pain, but she also asked anxiously because of what Aura said before.

"You said - you can't kill my teacher, what do you mean?"

"literal meaning."

"If you didn't kill her...then tell me where my teacher is!"

"how could I know?"

That's Celia. She can go anywhere in this world she wants, and no one can control her movements.

Well...it's not completely impossible to find.

"Wait, if you insist."

"You can go to the Rawai Mountains, to the highest peak."

That was where Aura had worked, but it could not be considered Celia's former residence. It was just a place where she stored books. She would stay there for a while every few decades to read the magic books collected from all over the world by the human magicians who had served her over the decades.

The development of magic in the world is not linear, but progresses suddenly in a certain period of time. Celia only needs to concentrate on integrating information at that point in time to develop the magic of the world in her mind.
