After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

"Don't even think about running away!!!"

Having completely lost his mind, Tar Sarago leaped up with his massive body and pounced directly towards Uriel.

And at the moment it took off into the air, the holy sword in the hand of the black-haired brave was raised.

boom!!!!!

The energy stored in it burst out after a brief delay, transforming into a huge beam of light that attacked Tal Sarago directly as the sword was swung.

More than a month ago, when facing the Blood Clan's True Ancestor, who was also one of the Thirteen Leaders, Uriel's attack directly blasted away half of the opponent's body, thus securing the victory.

But this time, things didn't go so smoothly.

The great chief, who was hit directly in the face, was instantly engulfed by the explosion. His huge body also changed its trajectory and fell heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough cough—cough cough cough—"

A few mouthfuls of blood spurted out from the mouth full of fangs.

Under the fierce attack, Tal Sarago's body was burnt black.

Before the attack hit, his left arm, which he subconsciously blocked in front of his body, was shattered into pieces by the huge energy, and the entire arm disappeared.

But it is undoubtedly still alive.

He hasn't even lost the will to fight.

"Ahhhhhhh-"

Sarago roared, his charred body rising from the ground once more, and then, ignoring the severe pain all over his body, he rushed towards Uriel again.

You know, the energy released by the holy sword is a killer weapon that can instantly destroy even the city walls.

When it hits the body directly, not only does it fail to kill, it can't even paralyze the target.

Such terrifying defensive power made even the battle-hardened Uriel shake her head in admiration.

At the same time, he raised his sword and prepared for the second round of battle.

Then--

"It's you!!? Brave Aize!!?"

Tal Sarago caught a glimpse of the familiar figure out of the corner of his eye while charging.

He was fighting with two of his closest confidants and chopped one of them to the ground with ease.

“Go to hell—”

Completely dominated by rage and no longer having any rationality left, Tal Sarago suddenly turned around and rushed towards the figure regardless of anything.

"--not good!"

The brave Aize obviously did not realize this.

The moment he felt something strange and turned his head, the wall-like figure was already within reach.

He stretched out his only remaining right hand as far as possible and grabbed the opponent's slender body. The huge force was transmitted through the charred muscles, trying to crush him directly.

however--

"What!!!!!?"

Black tentacle-like objects extended from the captured "Aize" and quickly crawled along the arms all over Tal Sarago's body, tying it up tightly in one go.

And in its surprised gaze, the pinched "Aize" quickly lost its original appearance.

It even turned into an amorphous object like slime, slipped from between its fingers, and after falling to the ground, it quickly solidified into a human form, turning into the appearance of the pink-haired girl just seen.

After deceiving the chief in the first wave, Alicia retreated temporarily and joined up with the attacking Aize and others.

Then, he changed into his appearance and pretended to lead the team forward.

So as to give the Great Chief the second to last surprise in the next battle.

Why is it the second to last?

Because the last one is the next one——

"Well--"

A strange cold feeling suddenly hit Tal Sarago's back, and then spread throughout his body along the blood vessels and meridians with extremely rapid momentum.

The feeling was so strong that it couldn't even break free from the thin tentacles, and it even became more and more weak, and then fell to its knees with a "thump".

"What is this... cough cough cough - puff ha -"

His chest began to ache violently, the intense pain shaking his nerves, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood onto the ground in front of him.

Before it understood what was happening, a person dressed as an ordinary knight came from behind it and took off his helmet to reveal his true face.

Another Aize.

Or rather, the real Aize.

In the palm of his hand lay a piece of clay, which he had now thrown at his feet.

This is the puppet material used exclusively by witches. It can also be used to carry and release the magic power of the caster, similar to the clay they carried when they sneaked in before.

The difference is that the magic contained in the clay at that time was used to create puppets.

This time, what Villian poured into it was the fatal curse that she was proud of.

It was the same move that destroyed the protection of the brave Aize in one blow at Anlin Plain.

Since Tar Sarago has amazing defense, use true damage to attack him.

This was Aize's idea, so he prepared this thing to further speed up the progress of the battle.

As it turns out, Tal Sarago is worthy of being the toughest among the thirteen chiefs. In addition to his amazing defensive ability, his vitality is also extremely tenacious.

Even though it was seriously injured, even though it was directly hit by the death curse, it still did not die.

Even when he was extremely weak, he could still raise his head and stare at Aize with eyes full of anger and hatred.

Then, he reached out his hand again, tremblingly.

But it's meaningless now.

“Go to hell!!!!”

Uriel arrived in an instant, and the holy sword in her hand pierced through the opponent's eye socket and then directly into the brain, releasing energy again.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

A dazzling light burst out from the orc's facial features.

After a burst of wailing, one of the thirteen leaders of the demon clan, the orc chieftain Tal Sarago, finally fell heavily to the ground.

Black smoke and a burning smell came with it. The black body was still strong, but there was no life left.

The combined destructive power of the curse and the holy sword finally completely killed this mountain-like existence.

With the death of their boss, the orc confidants who witnessed everything also joined the fleeing team.

The melee completely turned into a one-sided pursuit.

The two knight groups that came to support used their advantage in mobility to continuously and unilaterally hunt down the remaining orc troops.

The huge orc army collapsed almost overnight.

The pursuit by the Holy War Knights and the two teams of brave warriors continued, but that had nothing to do with Aize anymore.

His mission ends here.

As the incident came to an end, he breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the sunlight appear in the distance on the horizon.

Then, Aize, who had not slept for several days, was engulfed by fatigue the moment he relaxed, and his consciousness fell into darkness.

His body fell on the battlefield.

Chapter 158 Threat

If overwork could make people faint, then Aize should never have woken up in the past two years.

Because it is difficult to find a day when he is not overworked.

But that's what happened. After killing Tal Sarago and the battle was not over yet, Aize rolled his eyes and fell directly on the battlefield.

He was carried back to the city first.

After Uriel reunited with her teammates, she led the Knights to continue pursuing the defeated orc army.

From Tafia, they chased all the way to the Anlin Plain, and the road was littered with fallen orc corpses.

The battle finally ended when the remaining enemy troops fled into the demon's territory.

By the time she returned to the lord's mansion in Tafia, more than a day had passed.

She was so anxious to see Aize that she didn't even bother to take off her armor. She rushed to the bedroom where the former was and walked in without even knocking on the door.

Then--

"Shh-"

Aize lay on the bed with his eyes closed, resting his head on Villian's legs, motionless.

The witch herself gently stroked Aize's hair. Seeing the black-haired hero come in, she raised her hand and made a quiet gesture.

Yuriel was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and then asked in a low voice:

"He... Aize hasn't woken up yet?"

Villian shook her head.

"Just now, about an hour ago, he woke up for a while, asked about the current situation, and then fell asleep again. Even shouting couldn't wake him up."

Uriel shook her head.

"I've never seen him like this before. Is there anything wrong with his body?"

"No problem, I'm paying attention."

As she spoke, she gently covered Aize's forehead with her palm, releasing a faint light that swept across his entire body, then returned to the starting point and gathered into her palm again.

Scanning technique.

The reason why Villian stayed here was to use this to monitor Aize's physical condition.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Uriel's gaze shifted to Villian.

Before, the situation was urgent, so I didn't have time to think much about her.

Now that things are over, let’s look back.

Full of flaws.

One of the thirteen leaders representing the pinnacle of the demon clan, each one a formidable figure. Could such a guy really be so devoted to Aize over such a small matter?

The emotions are too strong.

Although because of Aize's remarks, Yuriel would not do anything rude to him, nor would she be so tactless as to report him to the church.

But that was all because of Aize.

She did not trust this witch.

--No.

Based on Yuriel's understanding of Aize, Aize probably wouldn't completely trust her.

Then after I leave, what will the relationship between these two be like...

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Noticing the other person's gaze, Villian smiled and asked calmly.

"nothing."

Uriel, preoccupied, subconsciously averted her gaze.

Villian understood what she was thinking.

But she didn't care. After checking Aize's physical condition again, she raised her head and asked:
