Witch Troupe and the Undead

Chapter 171 The True Role of Mermaids

Vilandella gathered information on several people in the vicinity who seemed suitable to make wishes, then took off with the ingredients she had brought for Roach and the others, crossed the Black Forest, bypassed the areas frequented by adventurers, and entered the royal city from the side of the capital.

Of course, the journey was fraught with danger, as it attracted a large number of demons who chased after it. Fortunately, being a dragon, its flying ability was far superior to most flying mounts, allowing it to easily shake off its pursuers and land in the academy.

One of the reasons Vivi didn't directly transform into a dragon and enter the danger zone was that she wasn't sure if the landing site was truly safe. It's like how one of the prerequisites for the air force to exert its combat power is that the ground forces have cleared the air defense system; otherwise... landing and takeoff are when she is at her weakest, and she could easily be shot down.

College area, dormitory.

With a "whoosh," a rather large drawing was laid out on the bed. The little witch looked at the people in front of her with a serious expression, and then began to write and draw on the drawing.

The messy lines combined with abstract geometric shapes, along with several very lifelike chibi figures, would make it difficult for anyone who isn't very familiar with her to understand what she's writing.

"This, and this, understand?" Emerald eyes looked at Alessina, whose face showed an expression consistent with the demi-human race: blank, completely in a state of "intellectual incomprehension".

"Hmm... and then from here, to here." The pen drew a large arc on the drawing, then crossed out an abstract humanoid figure with three pairs of wings. "Got it?"

“I don’t understand.” Alessina scratched her head. Even the battle map drawn by the chieftain of the beastmen tribe wasn’t this abstract. Apart from the part with figures at the beginning, she couldn’t understand the rest at all.

"Understand?" The emerald eyes looked at Luo Qi, who also had a solemn expression. Even with his ability to make connections by guessing history or myths from murals or even simple sketches of ancient people in ancient tombs, he still couldn't understand the witch's tactical map at all.

As for the mermaid, she has accepted the fact that her intelligence is on par with that of a fish, and has successfully reconciled with herself and the world. Therefore, she is completely in a state of OvO, with no valuable information or intelligence stored in her mind.

“I’ll do it,” Roach thought for a moment, realizing that if Livia continued like this, she would only become more confused. He crumpled the drawing and tossed it into the fireplace, then pulled out a new sheet of paper and spread it on the bed:

"So you mean only the four of us will be going in this time, right?" Roach threw four wooden blocks of different shapes onto the drawing, and then sketched an aerial view of the hall based on his previous impressions.

As the throne room, its structure is actually very simple. If you don't consider the spiral staircase leading to the royal living area, it is a rectangular space with six pillars and a throne platform about 2 meters high.

So, Roach added a side view and a front view of the hall, so that even Leslie's brain could understand it.

“Me, Vilandella, Livia, and Alessina, but Leslie isn’t going in. Wait, why not bring her in to lower the [Pride] attribute?” Roach looked at Leslie. “Or is it that she actually provides an unimaginable attribute boost to [Pride]?”

"Regenerative Power" Vilandella pushed open the door and walked in, carrying a large wicker basket filled with freshly baked bread, cheese and yogurt, as well as some cured sausages, and onions and cabbage she had brought back earlier—enough to feed them for the rest of the time.

As a dragon, a single meal can sustain her for at least a week; after all, she's not some insatiable dragon god, is she? "Mermaids, or rather, sea creatures, possess incredibly powerful regenerative abilities. Injuries that would cause permanent disability to normal creatures can be completely healed by them after a period of rest. Of course, if you were to actually cut her in half, she would still die from excessive blood loss and malnutrition before regeneration." Clearly, regeneration requires a large amount of magic and nutrition to support it.

“Hmm, hmm, regeneration potions~” Livia gave one example, then another, “Mermaid flesh and blood can greatly extend lifespan and increase vitality and regenerative power.”

"Then why..." Why are there only a few healing and regenerative medicines that use mermaid materials, and not longevity or immortality medicines?

“Because mermaid flesh and blood are cursed, or rather, it’s not quite a curse. It should be said that eating mermaid flesh and blood will extend your lifespan and reduce the consumption of other non-essential organs in your body, in order to maintain this vigorous vitality.” Vivi pointed to her head, and then Roach immediately understood. He would become stupid, right? But compared to immortality, becoming stupid didn’t seem like such an unbearable price to pay.

"It's not just a normal stupidity~" Livia patted Roach's head, then took out a piece of paper and drew a simple diagram for him. Mermaids' brains can alternate between the left and right hemispheres.

In other words, their brain utilization rate is far higher than that of humans and other intelligent beings, and their brain structure is actually more complex. Therefore, some "dark magic potions" even use mermaid brains as materials for enhancing regeneration agents.

With such a highly developed brain... Roach and the others looked at Leslie and now understood that they had achieved this level of intelligence by using such a complex structure and low-power, high-efficiency hardware. It was hard to say how much the high-energy-consuming brains of normal humans would be slowed down if they drank real elixirs of immortality or mermaid immortality pills.

"So, there used to be an elixir of immortality without side effects, except that it required constant administration." Vilandella revealed a secret. "That was to use people who had taken the real mermaid elixir of immortality as intermediaries, and then gradually reduce the side effects and effects by using human bodies as a medium, and finally use human blood as the refining material to make the elixir of immortality."

"and then?"

"It's lost to time. It's said to be a secret recipe from a certain sect of arcane sorcerers. Even Miss Livia doesn't have any related information." If even someone as resourceful as her teacher, Nier Riley, who collects magic books and information, doesn't have any relevant parts, then it's truly lost forever.

"It is said that this drug is extremely addictive," Alessina seemed to have heard of it as well. "Once the drug is stopped, no one can bear the loss of youth and the decline of vitality. Therefore, there was a great uproar on the continent in the past. Tyrants from various countries were frantically plundering people in order to prolong the lives of themselves and their nobles, feeding on human blood."

“The vampires, or rather, the blood demons, because they even set their sights on other races, such as… the dragons,” Vilande clasped her hands together, making a breathing gesture, “and then the dragons used dragonfire to burn the earth. More than half of the ruins you see now that adventurers have visited are from that. All the finished medicines and formulas they found were also burned to ashes. Of course, the arcane sorcerers also became characters that everyone hated, not just humans, but all races.”

"Even now, some vampires still live in their underground ruins. Because they drank the elixir of immortality, their lifespan is extremely long. If they sleep in a near-dormant state, they can even outlive dragon warriors. Moreover, they have an extraordinary thirst for blood, especially blood rich in life force. However, this kind of blood cannot satisfy their craving, so... adventurers who disturb these ancient beings are often slaughtered."

"So, these monsters aren't afraid of sunlight, garlic, or silver?"

"Yes, they do really hate garlic, because it doesn't fit their noble, self-proclaimed demigod status. If you've eaten garlic or have garlic hanging all over your body, they will definitely try their best not to drink your blood."

"So, the reason we had such a tough fight last time... was because of you, right!?" Alessina grabbed Leslie and pulled her face hard. "Because your regenerative ability was copied, so the wound healed like it was turning back time!"

"Speaking of which, are the dragons really that powerful? To be able to suppress the nobles and nations of the entire continent all by themselves?"

"No, I mean, it was burned with dragon flames, not burned by the dragons. The dragons only provided dragon flames and some kind of assistance. The ones who really took action were the ordinary people who were driven to the brink. After all, by the later stages, these guys' desires and actions had become so perverse that they didn't even spare the superhumans."

"Isn't anyone trying to research and reproduce this elixir of immortality?"

"No, on the one hand, the formula is no longer available, and on the other hand..." Vivi glanced at the mermaid, "Mermaids are not easy to catch now. Freshwater mermaids are almost extinct, and saltwater mermaids now live in the open sea. Catching one or two occasionally is completely useless. The amount needed for that medicine is not a small number. You can ask Miss for details."

"Hmm!!" Livia gestured with her hand to indicate that even the ordinary regeneration potion she was making, if using mermaid ingredients, would require a small bucket to hold.

If it were a low-level alchemist or arcane sorcerer, it would be like trying to squeeze out a whole bucketful. Even if you hung this stupid fish up and bled it dry, you could only squeeze out a few bucketfuls. And that doesn't even take into account the failure rate, or the need to further concentrate and detoxify the regenerative factors and life force within it.

Without a recipe, you'd have to experiment from scratch, without thousands or tens of thousands of mermaids as test subjects... And if you hunt so many mermaids, it means what you're going to do is pretty obvious, since normal regeneration potions and other potions have substitute ingredients, and mermaids are no longer a must.

As for the victims, the long-lived races like the dragons, who don't need this kind of potion, they should teach the perpetrators a lesson they won't forget.

“Moreover, they will also suffer divine punishment,” Vivi added. “You can also ask that goddess; she probably knows about this too. It caused a huge uproar back then, and there were even blasphemers who tried to get some divine blood to taste through the flesh-receiving ritual. Of course, the result was that the country disappeared, and now the ruins are in the Northern Plateau and mountains. It wasn’t mountains before.”

"Is it the sea?"

“Well, no, it’s the basin and the valley, the valley kingdom. The enraged Santia just…” Livia seemed to know about this too, and made a gesture of clasping her hands together. Then the topic was completely killed, which refreshed Roach’s imagination of “divine punishment”.

In his original understanding, he thought that the worst thing that would happen was being struck by lightning or having one's descendants cursed, or being subjected to natural disasters. At worst, it would be something like filth flowing everywhere. But... the power of this divine punishment... no wonder, now those kings and nobles would rather eat the extremely awful stuff from the Witch of Youth than touch this real elixir of immortality.

God the hell, the mountain-building divine punishment of a tectonic plate collision—yes, only something of this level can be called divine punishment. Even the apocalyptic flood seems a bit lacking compared to this.

"No wonder this silly fish has lived on land for so long without being captured and turned into a valuable asset. So that's how it is!" This answered Roach's biggest question: with Leslie's intelligence and fighting ability, how did she manage not to be kidnapped and sold on land?

You should know that mermaids' flesh and blood can be used to make regeneration potions. They are top talents in the fields of healing and life potions. Being raised and bled out is the right thing for them!

“So, we really can’t bring this mermaid. So… according to Livia’s tactics, we’ll send in four people, each of whom will provide the other with an attribute bonus. In that case…” Roach marked four icons next to the blueprint.

Muscles represent strength, stars represent magic, question marks represent intelligence, and armor represents physical strength or defense.

“The power comes from Alessina, so she can fight against the opponent; the stamina comes from you; the intelligence comes from me or Livia; and the magic power definitely comes from Livia. Of these four attributes, magic power is the strongest.”

"And then?" Roach looked at the little witch, who gestured with some difficulty as she explained her tactics.

With this configuration, Pride's strongest attribute is Magic Power, followed by Stamina, then Strength, and finally Intelligence. Agility and Speed ​​will be reduced to their normal base values. Although this base speed is enough to kill a group of low-level adventurers in a minute, Alessina's reaction speed is sufficient for interception.

So, after several failed attacks, Pride will inevitably abandon the strategy of physical or melee attacks and switch to ranged attacks. Since she lacks ranged weapons, the most likely scenario is that she will use magic attacks or manipulate magic power to attack. Because of the magic power of the copied little witch, this magic attack will tend to be a high-power spell, in other words, it will consume a lot of energy.

"But she can't replicate your... well, control, so what you're thinking is..."

"Mmm~ Mmm!" The little witch nodded vigorously, her face beaming with happiness.

"You plan to make the other person cast a spell, then you'll counter-attack, control the spell they cast, and then either throw it back or waste it. This way, you can quickly accelerate the depletion of their magic power until they run out of it?"

This depletes one of the [Arrogance] attributes, meaning the witch can now begin a magical barrage to support Alessina in the battle.

Roach's ranged weapons do not rely on personal ability, so under this double attack, even close-quarters combat, which can only maintain balance, will be suppressed by Alessina. At this point, Roach's "Fragment of Night" will be enough to inflict damage on the opponent.

Given the destructive properties of the Glowing Shards, they are almost directly "reducing the maximum resilience". The life force lost by them is not easy to recover. As a result, the second attribute, stamina or life force, is also broken. Thus, Vivi can act as the main tank, buying time for Livia and Alessina to unleash their decisive attacks.

"Break down the opponent's advantageous attributes one by one... Instead of treating the opponent as a whole, we should regard them as four separate parts~" This looks a bit like a variant of Tian Ji's horse racing strategy. Roach and Vivi are the inferior horses. Their job is to skew the opponent's copy attribute, wasting one of the opponent's attribute bars, while seemingly giving the opponent some kind of advantage, such as the dragon's regeneration ability.

However, the Little Witch is the top-tier unit. She will prioritize defeating the opponent's middle-tier units, and then assist the middle-tier unit, which is Alessina, who can only fight to a draw, in defeating the [Arrogant] middle-tier unit. Finally, they will join forces to take down the bottom-tier units as well. As for the intelligence copied from Roach, it is actually the foundation that makes this tactic possible.

Because if [Arrogance] doesn't have a certain level of intelligence or tactical flexibility, and just relentlessly pursues the little witch in close combat, then it will be really troublesome. Alessina doesn't have the same stamina as Old Ma, and can't ensure that the witch can continuously and safely cast spells. And once the little witch is approached or under pressure, her spellcasting stability drops sharply.

Therefore, the reason Roach must be inside is to allow "arrogance" to be replicated to a certain extent in tactical thinking and intelligence, so as to recognize what his own advantages are.

If you can't win in melee combat, choose ranged and magical attacks. Once it starts using magical attacks, the witch can deliberately delay casting to trick the opponent into thinking that they are in a superior position and are suppressing the enemy with firepower until they run out of ammunition or temporarily run out of ammunition.

"Okay, it's settled then. We'll start the raid tomorrow. I hope those adventurers didn't give away too many lives..." I also hope that the [Arrogance] Sin Domain didn't absorb too much magic power because of this. But it shouldn't, after all, it's the [Arrogance] Sin Domain, not the [Foolishness] Sin Domain. Although these adventurers' behavior had some "arrogance" in it, they were mostly stupid and weak.

"Should we go and say hello to that lonely old woman? Let her see our tactical plan?"

"Hmm, I think it's a good idea. Besides, I've just found a group of decent guys I can grab to make a wish. Maybe she'll be interested?" Weiwei said, adding that she happened to have a batch of clients on hand and wondered if this lonely old man needed them.

“I don’t think she’ll agree,” Roach sighed. “You don’t understand. Her mindset is different now. If we had grabbed someone for her when we went in, even if a dog were making a wish, she would have agreed immediately, then left and probably left some blood curse for the Luster people.”

"However, even if an adventurer were to actually reach her and make a wish now, she wouldn't tell them about it, as they are a Luster person."

"why?"

“Because we haven’t defeated Pride yet,” Roach said. “She’s one of the key forces behind the suppression of this barrier. Even though this ritual site is almost completely destroyed, if she leaves, the Pride Domain will fully open, and then…”

“What’s being copied isn’t just the people in the hall, but… everyone in the entire capital, even the attributes of the Sin Demon. That would truly be the [Pride] Original Sin Demon King descending upon the world, and we’d all be dead!” Alessina nodded in agreement.

"So, she insists on waiting until we finish defeating [Arrogance] before leaving, and she even has to give us a blessing or a reward. That lonely old god may be tough on the outside, but she understands everything in her heart. This reward absolutely has to be given to us before she can leave without any worries. In a sense, this may also be her way of dealing with the unnecessary human emotions generated during this trip."

According to the doctrines of various churches, God has no personality or humanity when He is in heaven; He only has a physical form. Only after becoming flesh will He endow His prepared body with divinity and develop a corresponding personality or character. This humanity is probably a tricky thing for God, so very few gods will easily become flesh and descend to earth.

After descending, the resulting human nature also needs to be dealt with in some way, which Roach guessed was why the goddess was acting so awkwardly.

Chapter 172 Soul Repair Blessing

In the royal city's forecourt, many adventurers have attempted to break through the throne room, but most of them have been badly beaten by [Arrogance]. Fortunately, the adventurers here are not newbies, so even if they can't defeat [Arrogance], they can at least run away.

However, if they cannot overcome arrogance, they will not be able to enter the royal city. In other words, they will never have the opportunity to access the former kingdom's treasury, which is their main purpose in coming here.

The steel gate was completely twisted and destroyed, leaving only a network of blood-red thorns that crisscrossed like a wall. Roach pulled out the [Fragment of Night] and plunged it into the thorns, pulling it down forcefully, which completely destroyed the thorns that sealed the gate, revealing the hall behind it.

The first to enter was Roach, followed by Livia, then Alessina, and finally the Dragon Girl. After everyone had entered, Pride slowly descended from the sky, still holding the blood-red scepter. Its eyes, hidden by its wings, looked at Livia, who decisively struck the ground with her scepter. Several arms made of rock swung forcefully at Pride in mid-air.

"Clang!" The scepter, transformed into a giant scythe, severed all the stone arms with a mere swing. However, the shattered rocks, drawn by the witch, also pierced towards [Pride].

"Get out of the way!" Alessina forcefully slammed her greatsword into the ground, then used it as a pole to fling herself high into the air, her right hand gripping the [Luminous Fragment] that Roach had thrown to her.

The sword light of "Extraordinary Martial Skill - Thousand Edges" intertwined in mid-air to form a hemispherical shape and spread forward. This martial skill uses speed and agility to unleash a sufficient number of attacks in the shortest possible time. However, the consequence of this attack speed is that each strike is almost ineffective and has little power.

However, with the help of the divine sword, which has a significant special attack effect against Pride, it was enough to cut off nearly half of Pride's flesh and wings in an instant. However, these wounds healed as quickly as before, "but not as fast as before."

Compared to their first encounter with the Sin Demon, their healing speed this time was significantly reduced by at least 50%. In other words, Pride had to fall to the ground, take several hits from the Little Witch, and also face Alessina's continuous slashes.

Each time the goddess blessed and strengthened the blade, it left a significant and serious injury on its body. "Poof!" Finally, [Pride] vanished in a ball of purplish-red flame.

"That's it? We haven't even started our tactics yet..."

"No," Livia gripped her weapon tightly, because there was no massive sin domain magic released from the death of the [Pride] Sin Demon in the hall. In other words, the opponent had simply activated some kind of anti-suppression martial art or extraordinary skill to escape the predicament of being cornered and beaten on the ground.

"Something like teleportation or super armor?" Roach caught the divine sword that Alessina threw back, and the fox girl also grabbed the giant sword. Just then, the air suddenly became scorching hot. "Watch out!"

"Boom!" A violent explosion rang out, and the entire hall floor exploded layer by layer, with flames and fragments turning into a whirlwind of destruction within the hall.

The dragon's wings swept downwards, enveloping the witch and Roach. Then came the continuous sounds of scales and fragments colliding, along with Vilandela's muffled groans of pain. Roach quickly took out the prepared "alchemy potion" and threw it to Livia. The latter then summoned several fragments to shatter the potion. The potion turned into mist and enveloped Vilandela, quickly suppressing the pain caused by the burning and fragments.

Ash Dragons possess extremely high fire resistance, even stronger than that of Flame Dragons. They can even draw magic from flames to enhance their combat abilities. Although they cannot use fire for healing, ordinary flames and explosions are unlikely to harm them.

“As expected…” Roach nodded. The fact that the other party had absorbed his intelligence and a portion of his knowledge meant that the other party’s fighting style and spell style would lean towards fire and explosion. This was exactly the attribute that Vilandella had the highest resistance to, and she could use this to indirectly increase her endurance and resistance to attacks to a level higher than the other party’s.

"It has switched to ranged attack mode!" Alessina launched a series of attacks with her greatsword, but the Sin Demon, which had reappeared in mid-air, dodged them all. The Sin Demon's scepter had also transformed into a long staff. Dense incantations and engravings appeared on the pillars, floor, and walls of the hall. These marks were the ritual field activated by the Sin Demon with its remaining body when it had just disappeared.

[Arrogance] raised his staff and pointed at the witch who was deftly sprinkling incense and spice powder, and who seemed to be preparing some kind of ritual with a silver ornament. The flames of magic rose around her and filled and eroded the surrounding space.

"Whoosh—" Amidst the piercing shriek, countless dark purple light bullets unfurled from behind the Demon of Sin, like a pair of outstretched wings slamming down towards Livia. However, just as the light bullets were about to hit, they suddenly exploded. The magic that made up the light bullets was precisely pierced and destroyed by the fire element, and then rewoven by the witch into a new spell configuration.

Dark purple spears bypassed Vilandela and Livia, piercing towards Pride with long chains attached. The latter was surprised and flew backward a short distance before swinging out her staff, which had transformed back into a long-handled scythe. At the same time, a pair of new fleshy wings unfolded from her back, and three jet-black magic orbs appeared above her head, releasing intense beams of light towards Roach.

"Thud!" Several spirit crystals were thrown to the ground, supporting a spirit barrier. Then, Luo Qi activated the spell rune stones on the rune disk. Powered by their own energy, the spell rune stones were not suppressed by the environmental sin domain. There are two ways to use the rune stones: one is to throw them out for an explosive use, just like a grenade; the other is the current method, which is a relatively gentle and controllable release.

The three rune stones corresponded to three different Void Domain spells. The silver-gray mirror quickly covered Roach's front, defending, distorting, and reflecting the beams of light, leaving deep cut marks in the royal court.

Meanwhile, the witch completed the deliberately slowed-down ritual. Under her command, the magical flames transformed into countless fiery tentacles that coiled around Pride, and the temperature in the hall rapidly rose to an unbearable level.

The fiery tentacles made contact with Pride's body, producing a hissing sound that made one's teeth ache. Pride easily broke free from the fiery tentacles' grasp, but before it could retaliate, these tentacles instantly transformed into countless fiery spears that pierced towards the sky, mixed with magic bullets fired from Roach's hand cannon.

"Clang!" Upon discovering the enemy's powerful ranged firepower, the Sin Demon decisively switched to melee mode. However, her long scythe was cut in half by a greatsword, and she was sprayed in the face with dragon breath. Fortunately, she had also copied Alessina's resistance and constitution, so the damage did not cause serious consequences.

"Her magical abilities are almost depleted."

"Just those two moves?" Roach was a little curious. She hadn't even cast many spells before her magic was exhausted.

"..." The witch looked at Roach with a very complicated expression, without explaining why, because whether it was a mage or a warrior, the real fight was like this, and it would be the decisive moment in just a few moves.

If it weren't for her help in dispersing and reinforcing the defenses, and twisting and destroying the opponent's spells, that light blast alone would have blasted everyone to pieces, not to mention the black sphere beam behind it.

“Next…” Countless ethereal claws appeared all around, grabbing down at Alessina, only to be blocked by the greatsword and dragon wings. Each strike left deep, bone-revealing wounds on the dragon wings, and even the greatsword forged by the witch was left with chilling claw marks. However, many more ethereal claws were controlled by the witch and flew towards Pride, only to be blocked by a runic barrier.

"Gulp~" Vivi swallowed the "anti-death potion" she was holding in her mouth. The death magic that was raging in her body was instantly dispersed by the life force. The spell just now was a group version of "death harvest", an instant death spell with a reaction time of only 6 seconds.

If she hadn't put the anti-death potion in her mouth beforehand and worn the high-level life amulet, even a dragon's vitality wouldn't have been able to withstand two claws. Such a high-level spell consumes an extraordinary amount of magic power. The large number of dark blue light patterns appearing on Pride's body indicates that the magic power in its body has been greatly disrupted, causing the ritual structure that constitutes its body to become unstable.

"Alessina!" Vivi roared, and the fox girl leaped up on the dragon's back, turning to face Vilandella. A dragon's tail lashed out, striking the greatsword, and the fox girl used the opportunity to fly even higher, spinning like a top with the force of the lash, the greatsword slashing at the sin demon who was waiting for the magic disorder to cool down.

"Clang!" The greatsword slammed into the bat wings that were enveloping it, producing a long, metallic sound like a church bell. Accompanied by faint sounds of bones breaking and cracking, the Sin Demon was knocked to the ground from the sky. Then, with astonishing skill, the witch transformed the fire ritual into a void ritual targeting dragons—"Dragon Break."

The magical flames burning on the ravaged ground flickered for only three breaths before transforming into a sky-like azure crystal. The crystals formed chains and a forest of spears, a "conceptual magic" derived from the "Dragon-Slaying Spear." This magic had an almost defenseless effect on some dragon-like and sub-dragon-like creatures, piercing through the [Arrogance] that had copied the dragon girl's physique.

"Clang!" Arrogance raised his weapon, which had transformed into a spear, and exchanged blows with Alessina once more. Using the force of the falling impact, he sent Alessina flying, only to be pulled back by the chains attached to the ends of the spears on his body.

Next, we watched as Alessina spun around and slashed at Pride. Roach approached from behind, following Alessina's instructions, using his feet as a pivot, channeling the power of his legs, waist, and shoulders into his longsword through a rotating motion, and the light [Night Glow Fragment] slashed down diagonally from behind.

[Arrogance] immediately sensed the deadly attack from behind and decisively tried to turn around to block, but was pulled back by the chain. The blade smoothly cut from its right shoulder to its left waist, and even the bat wing that was protecting its face was cut off in half, revealing the expressionless and cold face behind it.

Despite suffering such a heavy blow, she decisively used her magic to heal her wounds and even reconstruct her body, preparing to repeat her previous trick. However, at this moment, Livia also activated another spell, and layers of rune rings appeared on its limbs and neck. The chains connected to the rune rings were suddenly pulled downwards, interrupting the sin demon's attempt to move.
