The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

The greatsword warriors and spear warriors stood at the front and back of the group respectively, preventing the demons from attacking the alchemists and rangers. The berserker assassins wearing bone masks ran into the monster horde, moving back and forth to break up the demons' orderly ranks.

The rangers continuously fired arrows, hitting the demons' vital spots. The alchemists seized the opportunity to throw potions at their feet or far away. Potions thrown at their feet immediately boosted everyone's spirits, while those thrown into the demon horde exploded, causing massive damage.

"Ouch!"

The white wolf roared and bit down hard on the empty space beside it, tearing a small devil out of its mouth. The ranger casually shot an arrow through the devil.

As for Desna, she was sitting in a chair drinking tea, showing no intention of moving, simply watching her subordinates fight.

The female thief is still hiding; there has been no sign of her yet.

As Maginus opened the door, the demons' attention was immediately drawn to this elite team. Their eyes turned fierce, and instead of attacking the team, they pounced on her on the second floor!

Red hair, red eyes, young, with a long sword on her back...

The distinctive features spurred the demons to attack the girl. Even Maginus found the sheer number of demons troublesome, especially since the demons today were not as weak as those encountered in the opium den.

Can I completely cut down one of the five Dreams of the IX Cage with a single sword strike?

"careful!"

The young female ranger downstairs shouted, but Desna wasn't too worried. She had heard from Kovdele that Maginus was quite strong, but even so, she already had some magical energy fluctuations in her hands, ready to provide support at any time.

Bloodthirsty, demonic weapons!

With a sword-wielding stance, without calling for help from the crowd below, Maginus planned to flex her muscles in front of her new teammates, hoping to meet Kaliwisda as soon as possible.

She leaped up and slashed at the nearest little devil with her sword. The little devil reacted quickly and flapped its wings to create distance. The girl's sword, which had missed its target, circled around her and then slashed at the little devil behind her.

She still managed to split the demon in two, but it took much more power, and she could no longer use the "Successive Slash" technique to kill a demon as she had before.

Flying high five!

The stolen ring slid from her sleeve into her hand. Maginus raised the faintly glowing ring, and the next second, a pale blue force field palm appeared out of thin air, slamming down hard on the approaching demons.

All the demons fell at once. Desna glanced in surprise at the ring in Maginos's hand. She hadn't expected the little guy to be so rich that he even had a non-disposable magic ring.

The demons fell to the ground. Without Desna's command, the five team members immediately rushed up and began to kill them before they could react. The demons that were not hit by the knockback palm turned and ran away without hesitation.

"Humph."

Desna snorted coldly, unleashing a spell she had been holding back. Several ice beasts pounced on the fleeing demons, while the vanished female thief reappeared at the window, slashing down with her twin blades to slit the throats of another group of demons.

The spellcaster... specializes in frost magic?

Observing that Desna used magic, Maginus rubbed his palms, somewhat worried that she might use a dimensional anchor, thus hindering his escape plan, and decided to test the waters first.

Speaking of which, it seems that quite a few high-ranking demons can use teleportation spells. We'll find out when we encounter them. If a demon can escape, then she can too.

If someone knows how to use a dimensional anchor... then she'll have to take a gamble.

Many people know that demons can use teleportation spells, but they don't know that she has teleportation scrolls.

"You seem to get distracted very easily. You can easily get killed if you do that during a fight."

A cold hand rested on Maginus's shoulder. She looked up at Desna, who was approaching, and said, "I'm used to it. I'm very sensitive to killing intent. I usually only lose focus for long periods of time in safe areas."

Ultimately, however, the real reason the girl felt she was distracted was her indifferent attitude towards her own life.

Maginos herself felt that she was a contradictory person, not afraid of death on one hand, but wanting to live when she was about to die.

"Captain, what do we do with these corpses? Where are we going to sleep tonight?!"

The spearman shouted out what everyone was thinking: the villa was filled with the stench of blood and was completely uninhabitable.

Seeing everyone nod in unison, Desna rolled her eyes at them: "Back when we were on the battlefield, we could sleep among piles of dead bodies, but we can't now?"

“Back then, the conditions didn’t allow it, but now that we’re all in the city, the demons haven’t caused too much chaos. Captain, I think we should find a good place to sleep.”

Even the usually silent berserker spoke up, and Desna sighed, somewhat speechless at her subordinates: "Alright, let's wait for the logistics team to arrive, then we'll go to another house."

The atmosphere is so nice.

The team members, including their captain, seemed to be having a great time. Maginus appeared to be part of it, but in reality, she remained detached, quietly watching them put on a show that had nothing to do with her.

If possible, she would also like a team that she could stick with until the very end, a group of teammates who would share life and death with her.

However, the probability is extremely low. Given Maginus's current situation, those who can become her teammates are either people who are just having fun in the chaotic faction, or they are also people who have hatred towards many countries.

No, it's not entirely impossible. For example, slaves. On the road to revenge, you can train a few to become your initial core group, and if you encounter danger, you can kill them as emergency supplies.

Well, even consumable teammates are still teammates. They can't be life-and-death companions, but they can be ruthless and merciless.

Once the revenge is over, any survivors can be treated as subordinates. They can be killed when no longer needed or when they turn against you.

Touching his chin, Maginos, who had been lost in thought again, nodded, affirming his own idea.

“You do get distracted easily. Come on, Miss Mine, let’s change the subject for today.”

Desna smiled at her, and Maginus followed her out of the villa filled with the corpses of demons. A small team quickly arrived from a distance, clearly there to handle the aftermath.

The girl observed all of this, learning about Kaliwisda's management system.

Wherever she went, she would carefully observe the people's situation and memorize the laws of each territory. As for whether it was actually useful...

We'll have to wait and see what happens in the future.

Chapter 251 The Unending Demons

Searching for demons, fighting... Searching for demons, fighting...

Ten days passed, and Maginus lived a monotonous life, spending his days either eating and sleeping or killing demons and creatures from the lower realms.

However, what struck her as odd was that even though a large number of soldiers and adventurers were hunting down the demons, the demons seemed to be popping up from every corner as if they hadn't decreased at all.

It keeps popping up even after I clean it up, and it keeps popping up even after I clean it up.

More importantly, Maginus's reputation grew during these ten days because she consistently led Desna's team to find the devil.

She was given the nickname "Devil Searcher," and the name became increasingly well-known, seemingly due to deliberate promotion.

And that's why she's constantly being targeted by devils who want to get rid of her, this special talent who's so likely to expose her.

The demons that came to their door were getting stronger and stronger, but fortunately, Desna was able to control more soldiers, and Maginus had many people protecting her.

After beheading the demon with her longsword that day, the girl, as usual, shook off the bloodstains from the sword, sheathed it, looked up at the gloomy sky, and her fingers moved rhythmically, lost in thought.

Desna noticed her state and put her arm around the petite girl: "What are you thinking about?"

“Something’s not right, Captain,” Maginus didn’t hide her discovery, thinking that Desna and the other spellcasters must have noticed it too. “The smell of sulfur in the air has increased.”

“We have killed so many demons, yet the number of demons in the city has not decreased at all. They must have a channel that can transport creatures from the lower realm to the material plane.”

After stating her guess, Desna, whose hands were a little cold, pressed her palms against the girl's warm cheeks to warm them. She wasn't too surprised, as expected, and nodded.

“You’re right, the situation isn’t too good. I believe our team will receive a mission soon.”

"How much will the reward be after the mission is completed? It's a matter of life and death for Lake Crystal City, so the reward should be quite high."

"Mine" cared more about this, and Desna couldn't help but smile helplessly:

"Lady Carly will not shortchange you. If you really found it, I believe you can directly ask Lady Carly for it, and she will definitely agree to it."

Would she agree to have her life taken?

He didn't think much of it and glanced around. They were in a tavern in a red-light district, surrounded by the corpses of many monsters.

Emerging from the tavern, they returned to the villa and hadn't even rested for three or four hours when the communications soldier came running up to them, panting, and said: "Yi II Ling Er Long Qi Ba Ling Meng..."

"Report, report, sir! The lord has a new mission, and it's said to be a critical one!!"

Desna took the envelope and token from the communications soldier, glanced at them quickly, and soon identified her next target, chuckling coldly.

The spearman, curious, tried to come closer to see what was written on the envelope, but Desna reached out and poked him back.

She carefully put away the letter and said seriously, "Everyone, get ready. We're going to search the homes of officials in the wealthy district. According to reliable sources, a powerful devil has been quietly infiltrating high-ranking officials recently."

"At the same time, the small summoning portals connecting to the Nether are likely also in those locations, so this mission involves many teams working together. If there are no surprises, the battles that follow will probably be very fierce."

Was it a very fierce battle...?

Maginus and her teammates agreed. The girl, who had returned to her room, closed her eyes and poured psionic energy into the sculpted blade. As she opened her eyes and threw the short sword, a burst of bright light instantly enveloped the entire room.

"Perfect."

Having completed her training in enhancing the Light Burst ability of her Nen Blade, Maginus can now throw the short sword at an enemy's face at any time for a blinding attack, as long as the enemy has eyes or light-sensing organs.

On the day of the mission, the group followed Desna towards the wealthy district. Upon reaching the edge of the district, they were quite surprised.

Did they bring in all the soldiers they could?

The entire wealthy district has been surrounded by the army, and every soldier is on high alert, watching the interior.

Maginus's sharp eyes spotted many familiar faces: McKenney, whom she had met at the city gate who had invited her to participate in the important mission; her former captain, Covedale, and his squad.

Desna joined them with her team, and the disheveled Kovdel nodded to Maginus before continuing his conversation with the officers around him.

Maginos looked at the wealthy area, tilted his head, and slightly curled his lips, revealing the veins on his neck.

"Hey, Mine, what's wrong?"

Seeing the girl making strange movements, the wandering knight, who could at least talk to her, asked with concern.

Maginot did not respond directly; she was simply nervous, though she herself was not quite sure why she was nervous.

“Be careful,” that was all she could say. “I have a feeling something’s not right in the rich neighborhood. It gives me a dangerous feeling.”

What are you talking about?

Desna, who had gone to the officers' quarters, returned to the group. Maginus repeated his words, and Desna frowned, glancing towards the wealthy area before quickly relaxing her brow.

"Danger is certain, doesn't that just prove we've found the right place?"

"Do you know who we are?! Let us out right now!"

During the conversation, the wealthy businessmen and officials inside the rich district realized something was wrong and were being held back by soldiers, preventing them from leaving.

They roared angrily, but the soldiers showed no sign of moving aside, remaining motionless with their weapons pointed at them, their faces expressionless.

These officials and wealthy businessmen, even if they had some power, wouldn't be very strong. They were far too aggressive in the face of a large number of soldiers, and only dared to make verbal threats, which didn't have much effect at all.

"Things happened pretty fast, Mine, it's your turn to play."

Desna patted her on the back, and Maginus walked to the pass. The soldiers, seeing this recently infamous devil seeker, immediately made way for him.

Upon reaching the people within the cordoned-off area, Maginus, acting as the foremost "identifier," began to examine each of them, waving to signal the soldiers to let them pass while repeatedly saying:

"Next... next... next..."

"stop!"

She had only gone through ten when she suddenly called a halt. The petite girl looked frightened. Maginus sniffed and pointed out the problem: "She smells of the lower realm. Take her for a checkup."

Chapter 252 Art is...

The other teams went into the wealthy area for extremely dangerous explorations, but since Maginus still needed to identify these people, Desna's team stayed behind first.

About an hour or two later, Maginus finally finished screening the residents in front of her. Her mouth was dry, so she took a sip of water and looked at the empty street, still feeling a sense of unease for some reason.

"Alright, let's go. We're already far behind the other teams."

Desna shouted to the crowd. Seeing her makeshift team bravely enter the area, Maginus suppressed her inexplicable fear and ran with them into the wealthy district.

It was noon, and nothing unusual had happened along the way. The villas and attics on both sides of the street were quiet; there were no demons, no flames, and no sounds of battle.

Everything seemed very calm, almost too calm.

The team members unconsciously became cautious, and the eight-person team soon encountered other teams.

After both sides confirmed their identities, Desna went forward to speak briefly with the team's commander, and returned with a solemn expression.

“Something’s not right. It seems like there isn’t a single devil in this rich area. Mine, can you smell anything?”

The presence of devils would make people think that their main targets are not in wealthy areas, but now that there are no devils at all, it is even more suspicious.

An invisible crimson light emanated from her pupils. Maginus continued to twitch her nose as if she had a keen sense of smell. The red mist had already spread outwards, but she did not notice anything amiss.

Hunting for the visuals!

Her pupils contracted slightly, activating her tracking vision. A few red lines appeared in her field of vision, but most of them were left four or five days ago, and their origins were basically unknown.

“I haven’t smelled anything yet,” Maginus said truthfully. “Let’s go check other places.”

After circling around for a long time and encountering several small teams along the way, the more Maginus observed, the more puzzled she became.

She had activated all her senses but detected nothing amiss, as if the demons had completely abandoned this area and moved elsewhere in four or five days.

But how could that be? The wealthy area is theoretically the most likely place for demons to get close to Kali Wisda. Their ultimate goal is to find out where the ancient city is, so asking Kali is a good way to do that.
