The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

Six against five plus four plus four, even with the light attribute magic having an extremely strong restraining effect on demons, it was still not enough. In order to break through this situation and to calm down the frustration of not being able to hit her, Sophia took the lead in casting the fourth-tier light attribute buff magic Rain of Light.

The rain of light, like fine silver needles or flowing glass, intertwined and swirled in the air, scattering countless shimmering points of light. Each drop of light carried a gentle and sacred power, falling into the labyrinthine dungeon and illuminating the dim passages.

The lighting effect is something that almost every level of light magic has a little bit of. The real effect of rain of light is to heal units that get wet, relieve fatigue, and improve the flow of magic power.

The Rain of Light is more effective on those who also possess the Light attribute, but if a demon is drenched in the Rain of Light...

It's like casting a holy healing spell on an undead creature; it's instantly put to rest, and the injury disappears.

You are a miracle worker, doctor!

Sophia clearly understood this, so she used the Rain of Light, which was supposed to be a buff spell, to attack the demons, while also healing Philippa and Taric and giving them a buff.

This modified way of using the Rain of Light might not be as powerful, but its attack range is definitely large enough that the demons have no way to avoid it.

"********!"

The demon uttered some censored words, which must have been highly cultured and sincere greetings to Sophia's parents.

Faced with the scattered rain of light, the demons had to devote their energy to defense, whether it was using magic to create a barrier to neutralize it or not, they couldn't let the rain of light directly fall on their bodies.

While wielding their swords to fend off the combined attacks of Philippa and Taric, the demons parted their hands and drew back a dark curtain. Rain of light fell upon the curtain, creating ripples.

Sensing the rapid depletion of magic power far exceeding their expectations, the demon's expression darkened.

Sure enough, light-attribute mages are the most hated by demons.

Taking advantage of the demons' distraction in defending against the rain of light, Philippa and Taric's combined attack became even more ferocious.

On one hand, they were enhanced by the Rain of Light, and on the other hand, they were able to cooperate with Sophia, so the two of them unleashed their martial arts skills one after another.

Taric focused his magic on the axe blade and swung it down heavily, but unfortunately it was blocked by the demon's sword.

Taric had only recently received the blessing of the Holy Light and gained the ability to master light-attribute magic, and he didn't know any light-attribute martial arts yet. There were very few records of such rare martial arts and magic. Unlike Sophia, he couldn't learn light-attribute magic through the Holy Light Church's materials. He had no way to learn, so he could only steal a little from Philippa and then incorporate some of his own ideas into it.

The idea of ​​seeking instruction from Philippa was also completely blocked by this saintess—Sophia was constantly trying to prolong her time alone with Philippa and marginalize Taric as much as possible.

Sofia's distorted sexual orientation is a serious problem, and she may even harbor a certain degree of hostility towards men.

Tariq is always talking nonsense, and he never says a kind word. Sophia has already toned it down quite a bit because Tariq is also a member of the Hero's Squad.

Philippa took a step forward and swiftly swung her sword, repeatedly thrusting, keeping the demons busy and clearly proving effective.

Faced with the combined attack of the three, the demons were already struggling to cope.

They could easily kill five level-five professionals in an instant, but they suffered setbacks at every turn when facing this trio of warriors.

The reason for this is that the restraining effect of light-attribute magic forces him to take defensive measures.

Having realized this, the demons made a decision that would result in significant self-inflicted damage.

There's no need to dodge or take all their attacks; some of the weaker ones can be withstood.

After shifting their mindset from pursuing a flawless victory to aiming to complete the game, the demons' sword techniques stabilized, no longer revealing numerous weaknesses due to the slightest disturbance.

The veil used to defend against the rain of light was removed, and the magic was instead used for offense.

The best defense is offense; that statement is indeed true.

After abandoning some of their defenses, the demons began to handle the combined attack of the three with increasing ease, and Philippa and Taric gradually found themselves outmatched.

However, there is also good news: the demons' defenses are no longer impenetrable. The Rain of Light and some of Taric's attacks are indeed causing damage to the demons, although not much and with little effect, but fortunately, it is still accumulating.

In other words, the Demon race defined the Rain of Light and Taric's attacks as attacks that did not cause much damage and were not necessarily to be dodged.

Tarik: I have a few words of sarcasm, but I don't know if I should say them.

If the battle continues like this, the three members of the hero's team will gradually fall into a disadvantageous position. The magic power of the two fourth-tier professionals, Taric and Sophia, will be exhausted first, leaving only Philippa to struggle on, and she will eventually be defeated.

This is the demons' assessment of the current situation; they are determined to nip the hero team in the bud.

If nothing unexpected happens.

In fact, Philippa, Sofia, and Taric didn't really change their tactics; they were still using the same tactics as before.

Strangely, the three members of the hero's team did not gradually weaken as the demons had predicted. Instead, they "fought bravely even when trapped in enemy lines," gradually recovering to a level playing field, and even subtly gaining the upper hand over the demons. Moreover, this situation was intensifying.

Why? The demons were completely baffled.

Logically speaking, those two fourth-tier professionals should be running out of mana and no longer able to fight, becoming a burden.

Why is that?

The demons gradually became powerless and retreated one after another, until they were struck by Taric once again. The rain of light poured over their wounds, and he seemed to suddenly realize something.

Did that warrior's attack, and the rain of light... really hurt that much?

The demons had refrained from dodging or defending against these two attacks because they judged them to be of little threat, but now these two blows had nearly cost him his life.

The demon suddenly looked at the three people in front of him who were working in an orderly manner, and realized where the problem lay.

The three's magical power was indeed gradually running out, but the quality of their magic was becoming increasingly rich, with Sophia and Taric showing the most significant changes.

Before the war, these two were only at the mid-stage of the fourth tier in terms of magic quality, but now they have reached the peak of the fourth tier and have even been moving towards the fifth tier.

If this continues, it won't be long before Sophia and Taric break through to the fifth-tier professional level in battle!
