Chapter 23 Lost Demon
On a dark and windy night, when murder... ah, I mean, when killing demons and setting fires.
The moon in the sky was also obscured by clouds.
In a dark forest.
An atmosphere of terror spread.
The group walked along the path leading deeper into the forest.
The rustling of leaves in the wind also paints a terrifying picture.
Suddenly the branches began to tremble, and countless birds took flight.
This startled Miko Yotsuya and Asia, who quickly grabbed Ye Xiao's arms, while Kanae, having had experience killing demons, didn't feel anything.
Ye Xiao looked at the two frightened little ones with a helpless expression.
You still need to work on your courage.
"Master...Master, where are we going?" Yotsuya Miko asked.
Ye Xiao calmly said, "Go and slay the lost demons."
"The Lost Demon, what is that?"
The three of them, including Yotsuya Miko, looked at Ye Xiao with some confusion.
After all, they are all demons, but they don't know what a lost demon is.
Ye Xiao explained to the three of them.
"The so-called lost demons are demons who have rebelled; they are those who betrayed and killed their masters for power."
Kanae then asked, "Are all the lost demons unforgivable traitors?"
Listening to Kanae's words, Ye Xiao also remembered the black cat from back then; this guy was an exception.
He then continued, "Of course, there are also a few who kill their masters and defect in order to protect their families."
Ye Xiao was also thinking of the kitten's older sister, Hei Ge.
That playful cat should be back soon.
The group walked through the forest and arrived at an abandoned church. Ye Xiao also gave the church a meaningful look.
"We're here. This is where the Lost Demon is hiding." Ye Xiao said, looking at the abandoned church in front of him. Then he said to the three people beside him, "I will go in with you, but I will not fight. You must work together to kill the Lost Demon inside. This is your mission for tonight."
Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Yotsuya Miko and Asia became somewhat nervous.
But it's alright for Kanae.
I just don't know which is harder to kill, a demon or a ghost.
Ye Xiao looked at the church in front of her.
This is a barrier constructed by the lost demons inside using power that doesn't belong to them.
"Go in."
"Um."
The three looked at each other, then followed Ye Xiao inside.
"Crunch~~ Clang."
The heavy door was pushed open, then closed quickly and automatically.
The sound of closing the door stirred up a lot of dust.
The four of them slowly stepped into the church, which was filled with a decaying atmosphere. The murals on the walls were peeling off, revealing a hideous background.
Everything was so strange.
Da Da Da~
A crisp sound rang out.
"Look, look, look! I smell a stench, but... there's also a lot of sweet smell mixed in."
At a corner.
A man in a suit and tie, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, walked out.
Looking at him, Ye Xiao thought of a word.
What a refined scoundrel!
At this moment, Kanae had already drawn her Nichirin Blade, which she had strengthened countless times, and was ready.
Yotsuya was at a loss when she saw the girl.
But looking at the lost demon Yotsuya Miko in front of her, a magic circle also appeared in her hand.
"Oh, ladies, how about joining me for dinner?"
The lost demon also gave Kanae and the others an elegant bow.
"I'm sorry, but we have to decline," Kanae said calmly.
"I see. Well then, I'm sorry, but I'll have to..."
The lost demon was talking to himself.
Kanae then addressed Yotsuya Miko and Asia beside her.
"Kimi, you stay on the outside and prepare to attack him with magic. Asia, be careful. If anyone gets hurt, please heal them. Let's all do our best!"
"Flower Breathing - Type One: Rose Thorn!"
Kanae vanished from her spot in an instant, a speed many times faster than her previous self.
This is the characteristic of the Knight piece: it increases the speed of the Swordsman.
Kanae's attack was as beautiful and dangerous as a rose, her knife transforming into streaks of cold light as she pierced the lost demon before her.
"Hey! It's already up?"
Yotsuya Miko was taken aback, but she quickly cast a speed spell on herself and followed suit.
As Kanae disappeared from her spot and reappeared in front of the Lost Demon, she brandished her Nichirin Blade.
The lost demon reacted extremely quickly when Kanae suddenly appeared in front of him.
Trying to dodge, I suddenly found myself unable to move.
"Hehe, imprisonment magic!"
Yotsuya Miko stood to the side, her hands restraining the Lost Demon.
The lost demon, who was under hard control, looked at Kanae, who had already arrived in front of him, without changing his expression, and revealed a playful smile.
In an instant, blood splattered.
Kanae also plunged her Nichirin Blade directly into the heart of the Lost Demon.
"That's... how did we win?"
Yotsuya Miko looked at the lost demon with its heart pierced and said somewhat uncertainly.
Kanae felt the same way; after all, the knife had indeed gone in, but why did she have a bad feeling?
"Oh wow~ it's about to begin."
As Ye Xiao spoke, he picked up Asia and left the church.
Soon after, the earth shook violently.
"Brother, what... what is this?"
"The true form of the Lost Demon."
Asia looked at the original church, which had collapsed, and in its place stood a giant toad with its mouth open.
Kanae, on the other hand, pierced the toad's tongue.
At that moment, Kanae and Miko Yotsuya were standing inside the toad's huge mouth. Kanae saw that the lost demon she had pierced was actually just a tongue.
"Thank you for your hospitality."
As soon as the sound faded, the toad's mouth shut immediately.
However, Kanae is a knight, and when the Lost Demon shut her mouth, she grabbed Yotsuya Miko by the back of the neck and appeared outside.
"Ugh~"
Yotsuya Miko felt unwell in her stomach and felt a bit nauseous.
The giant toad was somewhat annoyed that it hadn't swallowed the two of them.
Then his tongue shot directly at the two of them.
"Flower Breathing Type 5: Fruitless Peony".
Kanae's slashes were like peony petals.
Kanae also cut the toad's tongue into pieces.
"Wow, that's amazing! I can't fall behind either."
"Wind Scythe, Fireball."
Yotsuya Miko also used two basic spells, and then tore apart the toads and threw them away as if they were free.
The fire was fueled by the wind.
The pillar of fire reached the sky, and even the toad was engulfed by the flames.
"Is it resolved?"
Miko Yotsuya stood next to Kanae and muttered to herself.
But then, the ground suddenly shook, and the toad broke through the wall of fire and leaped high into the air, pouncing towards Kanae and Yotsuya Miko.
The enormous body stirred up a gust of wind, making the two of them lose their footing.
Aisha was a little worried. She activated the artifact in her hand, and a healing light appeared before she ran towards the two of them.
