"...If you want to say, those guys' strength is definitely not as good as my original strength. But who knows about that kind of thing~"
Back then, there was actually an explanation for this matter. After all, the strongest warrior among the "Four Pillars" was fighting outside, and the war situation was indeed under control. Naturally, there was no need to dispatch the other three pillars.
But looking at it now, Livi just wanted to laugh. It was obvious that the empire was just using her as a gun, and she had no contact with the real core power layer of the empire at all.
Moreover, from today’s perspective, the so-called invasion of demons… might just be a means for the empire to balance the situation on the continent. Even the origin of the demons might be related to the empire.
With this in mind, it makes sense that when the five kingdoms were tormented by the demons, the empire's strongest forces, except for the brave ones, all followed the strategy of standing firm when friendly forces were in trouble.
but……
"...The demon invasion is the empire's means of balance. Now that I am leading my men in, there should be some movement on the empire's side. If they send out the Three Pillars, it means my guess is right!"
Chapter 136: "Masters" fight, every move is fatal (laugh) ~
Livi had always believed that the empire remained calm when facing the invasion of the demons. Firstly, it was because of the support of a brave warrior like her, and secondly, the empire was large enough to have enough confidence to handle the matter well.
But now it seems that the reason why the empire is so calm is probably because the empire has determined from the beginning that the war will not burn on them.
Of course, she was confident enough to sit back and watch the show, but if the empire had a different reaction this time, it would prove that Livi's guess was correct.
Because, Livi's actions this time were theoretically completely unexpected by the empire.
"Well, I have already made a move here, Empire...how will you respond?"
Let me take a look!
At the same time, the location of the town of Gamélica...
"...Hey, why is it different from what Mava and Anekos said?"
The little demons staying in the town are naturally seriously carrying out the plan left by Mava and Aenekos, which is to control the town with a barrier and create the appearance that the town is still in decline.
However, according to what Mava and Aenekos said before they left, human soldiers would come back to liberate the town, and they would only need to fight a few rounds with them symbolically and then run away.
Anyway, the purpose of their existence is just to lure the tiger away from the mountain. However, when the barrier was attacked, the little demon girls unexpectedly discovered that the one who attacked the barrier was not the expected human soldiers, but a human woman.
...This is naturally Jessica, Livi's former companion who is now wanted by the Empire.
After Jessica used the power of the magic suit Avalon to force Carl and Bayi to retreat, she actually didn't go far.
This was naturally the result of careful consideration. Logically speaking, the biggest threat to her at this stage was Carl and his men. After being injured, Carl would definitely not stay where he was for a short period of time and would definitely go to the nearest military base to seek treatment.
From a common sense perspective, Jessica probably wouldn't stay where she is, and would move away immediately after realizing she was exposed.
However, this way of thinking is of course exactly what Jessica wants. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
Of course, she was just staying nearby and had no intention of continuing to show up in the town of Gamélica. After all, if she showed up in a small town like this, as an outsider, she would be recognized immediately, which would be quite troublesome.
Although she was very pleased to meet children who still admired Levi in this town, she naturally understood that Levi's image in the minds of ordinary people was quite bad now, and she felt that there was no need to cause trouble for herself.
It should have been so, but when she found out that the town had fallen, she immediately made a judgment in her heart.
A small town like Jamelica would actually become the target of the demons. No, first of all, the fact that the demons have returned is shocking enough.
Hadn't the demons been repelled? Why were they able to make a comeback in such a short time?
Of course, this is not something that needs to be considered now. The most urgent task at hand is to find a way to deal with this situation immediately.
Not to mention whether she could drive away the demons in the town, even if she could, it would be tantamount to exposing her whereabouts and putting herself in danger again.
So, isn’t it clear what should be done?
So, without even a second's hesitation, she appeared in the town of Jamelica...
...That's right, rational judgment is meaningless. There is no choice in front of her. There is only the simple fact that "human beings are threatened by demons."
This fact alone was reason enough for her to act, because those great people whom she regarded as the sun... did just that!
"…It's broken. This is different from what we agreed on."
Naturally, the little demon's brain does not have any extra thinking modules to deal with unexpected situations. Simply put, its ability to react quickly is very poor.
But Jessica's actions broke their expectations, and the problem became troublesome.
While they were thinking about this, the barrier was already in danger.
Although Jessica did not use the magic suit of Avalon, the barrier set up by the little demon was obviously not that strong.
After all, from the very beginning, the intended target of this barrier was just ordinary people and militiamen in the town. Once faced with formally trained soldiers, they would only be able to deal with them symbolically for a few times and then be destroyed on the spot.
However, if they were to end like this, it would be difficult to explain to Aenekos and Mava. There was no other way, so the little demons got together, a dozen or so little heads mixed together, and they discussed and came to a conclusion.
No, even if I want to run, I have to fight first. I can't just run away like this!
So, when Jessica finally broke the barrier, she looked up and saw a fireball rising from the central square of the town and flying towards her.
"!"
Jessica quickly concentrated her mind and energy, raised her hand and pulled out the dagger from her waist. With a flick of her wrist, the dagger flew out of her hand... and spun into a sharp blade, slicing towards the flying fireball.
The blade wheel hit the fireball and exploded with a loud bang. A rolling heat wave rushed towards her, and Jessica subconsciously took two steps back.
...Unexpectedly, it was even more powerful than expected. The barrier outside was not as strong as she had imagined. She thought there was only a small group of demons in there without any formation.
After all, even if it was a small group of demons, it would be enough to deal with the militia in this border town. But they didn't expect that as soon as they broke the barrier, they would be faced with a warning.
At this moment, all the little demons put in their utmost effort and used all their strength to create this huge fireball, but they did not expect that it would be broken at the first sight.
“…Hey, he’s so awesome! What should I do? He seems to be much better than us!”
These little demons immediately panicked. After all, there were too few of them, and there was no powerful boss around to keep them in check. Following Livi on a normal day would be a big deal, and the worst that could happen was that they would hide behind Livi.
In their minds, as long as they cling to the thigh of Big Boss Livi, everything will be fine. If that doesn't work, Mava, Aenekos and others can be present. But when it comes to them making their own decisions, that would be a big problem.
In this round of confrontation, the little demon intimidated Jessica, and Jessica also intimidated the little demon. In short, neither of them expected that the other party, who seemed as steady as an old dog, was actually panicking.
“No, don’t be afraid. If you hold back a big one, and this is broken, then run away quickly. Boss Livi also said that it’s not shameful to run away if you can’t win!”
And Jessica was also talking to herself silently in her heart...
"... Let's wait and see. If it's too powerful, we'll have to ask Avalon to deal with it."
Chapter 137: An Equally Matched Rival
Both sides seem to be as calm as old dogs at the moment, but in fact they are both panicking.
The short knife turned into a knife wheel and flew back. Jessica took it steadily in her hand. When she looked up, she saw a red cloud rising from the place where the light in the center of the town had just appeared.
Because of Livi's personal guidance, the little demons had a relatively good understanding of the degraded version of the battle formation. Unfortunately, there were still not enough people here, and after holding back for a long time, they finally made another big move.
However, this time the ultimate move seemed to be quite powerful. The rising red clouds circled in the air and gathered into the shape of a flickering demon snake.
The demon snake opened its bloody mouth and flew towards Jessica.
"!"
Jessica was suddenly shocked, mainly because this instantly brought back some bad memories in her mind.
It was as if in the soaring body of the magic snake, she saw a pitch-black magic spear and a tall figure holding the magic spear.
That’s right, the prototype of the little devil’s move is Dullahan’s magic spear, but how should I put it…
...Compared to the original body, you definitely can't expect its power to be that great.
It goes without saying that it is very similar. If hundreds of little inferior demons work together, they might be able to barely imitate the appearance. But now, with only a dozen or so little inferior demons working together, the best they can do is to copy and create something that looks nothing like the original and can scare people.
It's far from being a youth replica. It can only be said to be a shadow simulated from a blow from Dullahan's magic gun. Being able to scare people is probably its biggest effect.
In terms of power, it actually has nothing to do with the original magic spear. It can’t be said that it has lethality, but it is definitely not as intimidating as it looks.
If they met any other opponent, they would at most be scared by the noise, but the person here happened to be Jessica.
Jessica had witnessed the power of the Dullahan magic spear with her own eyes. Because of this, she knew better than most humans how much terror was hidden in this dark magic spear.
Without any hesitation, she placed her hand on the sword at her waist. As she raised her hand, the sword "bloomed" from the scabbard. The seemingly ordinary knight's sword emitted a thousand rays of light the moment it was unsheathed.
"Hey, hey, what is that?"
The lesser demons over there used their most powerful move to attack, and saw Jessica pulling out a sword that looked very powerful. The frightened lesser demons lost their balance and the shadow of the demon snake they were controlling tilted and flew away on the spot.
While the little demon was shouting "Oh no!", Jessica's heart skipped a beat.
"not good!"
Because she was frightened by the shadow of the magic snake, she subconsciously drew out Avalon, but Avalon was not a magic weapon that could be used so easily. She drew the sword hastily without even thinking, and only realized what she had done when the magic sword was used.
However, as soon as the sword was unsheathed, it began to gather magic power rapidly. It would be fine if the sword was not unsheathed, but once it was unsheathed, it would be impossible to put it back easily.
As the saying goes, Guan Gong is blind, and if he opens his eyes he will kill people!
If the sword's edge were released in such a sudden situation, its power would be impossible to control, and there would be a high probability that the surrounding area would be razed to the ground.
Jessica had thought about using the sword before if the situation got out of control, but that was definitely not the case under this circumstance. It was impossible to control the sword's sharpness in such a hurry.
Helplessly, she could only control the magic sword and wave it towards the sky. The rising sword light soared into the sky, illuminating half the sky in an instant.
““Damn it, I missed the target!!!””
The sword light and the shadow of the demon snake rose into the air at the same time. The residents of the small town looked up at the sky in surprise.
After Mava and Aenekos left, they left the little demon to guard the place. The little demon simply told the residents to go back to their homes and not to go out unless necessary.
After all, the situation was stronger than people, so the residents had no choice but to do as they were told. Besides, it was already dark and time to go to bed. Naturally, whether they could sleep in such a situation was not something the little demon wanted to worry about.
But who knew there would be such a big show in the middle of the night. The sharp edge of the magic sword and the shadow of the magic snake divided the sky into two distinct halves.
In fact, the two forces were not evenly matched. The sword was enough to suppress the demon snake with just one blow, but Jessica did not dare to release the power of the sword in the town at will, so she only dared to swing it randomly into the sky.
She had released the sword before and deliberately led Carl to a remote place because she was afraid that the power of the sword would be too great to control. She had just thought of pulling out the sword without activating it, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this.
After all, the Divine Sword's basic attack can cut off half of a mountain. It is a real nuclear bomb. How can it be a joke?
The sharp edge of the divine sword and the shadow of the demon snake that were rising out of control at the same time exploded and disappeared in the air, giving people a wrong visual effect.
It was as if the sharpness of the divine sword was evenly matched with the devil snake, and in the end the two forces were deadlocked and disappeared together.
This misconception also occurred in Jessica's mind, which caused a warning sign to ring in her heart...
...Oh no, there really is an expert here!
The little demon was already frightened by the sharpness of the sword. They were definitely not able to resist that brilliance at the moment. Without thinking too much, they turned around and ran away before Jessica could react...
Therefore, the result of this battle was that although Jessica successfully repelled the enemy, she was at a disadvantage. Although the little demons turned around and ran away, they were still calm...
...I'm serious, at least for Jessica herself, that's what she thinks.
Jessica spent several minutes holding Avalon before the magic power gathered on the sword's edge stabilized, which made her feel a little more at ease.
So, she bravely continued to move towards the central square with her sword in hand. After all, she had the magic sword in her hand, so she felt more confident.
Then, she saw that the square was empty, and apart from the mess of cups and plates, there was no trace of the terrible and dangerous scene she had imagined.
After all, she had noticed that the town had been captured by the demons, and she had already thought of more than a dozen things that would not pass the review. Who knew that she would end up seeing such an unexpectedly harmonious scene...
"…What on earth is this…for!!!"
All in all, the town of Jamelica was successfully liberated, and no one was harmed in the process. This is cause for celebration, cause for celebration...
...Although the style of painting once developed in a strange direction, it eventually turned back to the right path.
The Empire received news about the reappearance of the demons, and at the fortress, Aenekos, who had finished reporting, also successfully managed the weaving of the puppets...
"...Okay, it's settled!"
Chapter 138 Carl "Get up! The warehouse has long legs and ran away!"
Although all aspects are developing in an incomprehensible direction, fortunately, they are gradually getting back on the right track.
At least thanks to Aenekos's efforts, the entire warehouse was finally renovated. She raised her head with satisfaction.
"Well, it's me as expected!"
As a mutant of the puppet spider, Anekos, known as the "Weaver of Death", although her original combat power is average or even better than nothing, she is still very confident in her craftsmanship.
Although she usually weaves corpses as puppets in the Demon Realm, this is only because in a ghost place like the Demon Realm, the most convenient material to get is corpses.
