Flillian, I want to live.

The man's forehead was covered with cold sweat due to nervousness. Although he wanted to turn around and run away at this moment, his two legs obviously could not outrun the range of the attack magic.

"You don't look like a mercenary who was born a thief or adventurer."

Fulilian put away her staff, bent down to pick up the dagger that the soldier had dropped on the ground before being blown away, and looked it up and down thoughtfully.

"This sword, too, if I remember correctly, is the standard weapon of the Northern Kingdom's army."

As Frielian spoke, she shifted her gaze from the dagger back to the man who appeared to be the commander.

"Yes... We are actually members of the Holy Knights who serve the Church. These people are knights who have dedicated themselves to the Church and the Goddess for generations."

Under the tremendous pressure brought by Fulilian, the man did not dare to hide anything and honestly revealed his identity.

After all, for him, if he fails to complete the task assigned by the bishop, at most he will be dismissed from his post and punished. As long as he can save his life and wait until the next bishop comes, he can come back and be his own team leader.

"You guys are actually from the church?"

There was a look of surprise on Fulilian's face.

However, Fulilian did not continue to interrogate the thoughts of these church knights, but she could not let them run away and report the news.

"You, start running over there now."

Fulilian pointed her hand in the direction of the town and gave the man an order.

"Eh?"

The man was stunned for a moment, a reluctant expression on his face.

"Or let me help you?"

Fulilian glanced at the man and raised her lips slightly.

"Ah, no need..."

The man hurriedly shook his head and had no choice but to run towards the town.

Fulilian stood on the high ground, watching the man running farther and farther away. Then, she staggered halfway, fell to the ground with a thud, and fell asleep.

"Is the curse already that severe?"

Fulilian calculated the distance from where the man fainted, and thought that it would spread here soon.

The situation in the city at this time is indeed not optimistic.

The entire city had fallen into a deathly slumber. When Guter walked on the street, he could see pedestrians fainting on the roadside everywhere.

If left unchecked, not to mention that these people may be infected by the plague spread by rats at any time, the curse that can make people sleep will gradually drain the magic and vitality of the sleepers, and it will not take long to kill the citizens of the entire city silently.

"That's really vicious."

Even though he was a demon, Gutel couldn't help but sigh at the mastermind who used such means to treat the citizens. Unlike the demons who massacred people to fill their stomachs or for fun, the guys who spread the plague and curse were simply planning to cause massacres. Moreover, for the citizens who lacked monks, if it weren't for Gutel's existence, even Fulilian might not be able to save the situation.

Perhaps because he was very confident in the curse he spread, Gutel found the source of the curse without much effort.

It was "planted" in a blatant manner in the square where water was boiled during the day.

It was a flower that looked very bright - although its body was as big as the houses around it, and its tentacles spread out in all directions were twisting and turning like a living thing.

It really is the Chaos Flower.

Gutel had seen records about this creature in the notes left by Volame.

This is a dangerous species that can spread a sleeping curse and kill an entire city without anyone noticing.

After absorbing enough magic power, it will produce spore-like fruits that scatter on the ground, allowing wild animals such as mice to take them to new land and take root and sprout.

Of course, because it can grow rapidly with the help of magic, after obtaining the spores of the Chaos Flower, it is also possible to artificially inject magic into it, allowing it to quickly grow to its current size.

However, now that the true form has been found, as long as the Chaos Flower in front of us is destroyed, the curse that has spread to this city will naturally be resolved.

"Attack magic."

Gutel raised his hand and released a beam of attack magic at the Chaos Flower.

The Chaos Flower's weakness is its pistil. As long as you hit it accurately with attack magic, you can easily kill it.

However, before Gutel's attack arrived, the Chaos Flower seemed to sense something and suddenly gathered its spread leaves together, turning them into a shield to block its fragile pistil.

Ding--

With a crisp sound, the attack magic that hit the leaves of the Chaos Flower neither penetrated the leaves nor exploded. Instead, it was reflected into the air like a beam of light hitting a mirror, hitting the tower of the castle next to the square.

Boom——

As the sound of the tower collapsing came from behind Guter, Guter's expression became solemn.

Obviously, the leaves reflected the previous attack.

Gutel realized belatedly that unlike the Chaos Flower that Volame had recorded a thousand years ago, the leaves of the Chaos Flower in front of him were as smooth as a mirror, and could even reflect the images of the surrounding buildings in the moonlight.

Is it a subspecies that evolved from hybridization?

Gutel looked at the Chaos Flower, which had just attacked him by waving the vines under its feet. While thinking, he quickly flew up and avoided the heavy blow of the Chaos Flower vines that directly broke the bluestone floor tiles into pieces.

"It's a bit tricky..."

Gutel dodged the Chaos Flower's attack, but was hesitant to launch a counterattack.

The ability to reflect magic comes from another plant-based monster, but the Chaos Flower in front of him has the same ability. It is obvious that someone deliberately hybridized these two monsters.

The purpose of cultivating this subspecies of Chaos Flower is also very simple.

Unless the Chaos Flower's fragile core is struck accurately and quickly, any attack launched against it will be reflected back, and the reflected attack is likely to accidentally injure the citizens of the city. If a powerful magic attack is used against a Chaos Flower without thinking, even an entire town can be destroyed by the reflected attack.

Chapter 138: Just like having your underwear seen through

It’s a bit embarrassing to say, but in fact, Gutel’s control of magic is not as good as Fulilian, or even Laifulen.

In the spirit of flying bricks, rather than relying on precise attacks to hit the enemy's vital points, Gutel, who has sufficient magic power and is not afraid of being injured, prefers to use powerful magic to resolve the battle.

Of course, if you use a large-scale magic attack directly on the Chaos Flower in front of you, you may be able to kill it.

But doing so would be putting the cart before the horse, because the powerful magic counterattacked by the Chaos Flower Leaves would inevitably destroy the surrounding towns and physically incarnate the sleeping citizens.

Do you want to retreat temporarily?

Gutel did not have the confidence that he could seize the opportunity to accurately attack the Chaos Flower's vital pistil under the protection of its lush leaves. In this case, it would be meaningless to continue fighting it.

"What happened? Can anyone help me?"

However, just as Gutel was about to escape from the attack range of the Chaos Flower, a somewhat panicked voice sounded on the street behind Gutel.

"Ok?"

Gutel turned around in surprise and saw a little gray-haired girl wearing dirty and ill-fitting clothes like a beggar, with dull eyes and seemingly blindness. She was groping with her hands and crying for help.

"Eh? Is there anyone over there? You..."

As if she heard the movement from Guter, the blind girl turned around and asked in a tentative tone.

call out--

However, before the girl could finish her words, Gutel raised his hand and shot a magic attack at the girl's head.

As if she had sensed Gutel's attack in advance, at the moment when the attack magic was about to hit her, the girl suddenly tilted her head and dodged Gutel's attack.

"You are the mastermind behind all this, right? How could an ordinary little girl possibly resist the curse of the Chaos Flower?"

Seeing that his attack did not hit the girl in front of him, Gutel became more convinced that there must be something wrong with the girl.

"Yes... But I can't be considered the mastermind behind the scenes. At most, I can only be considered a messenger."

Seeing that Gutel had exposed her, Mars no longer hid her identity but generously admitted it.

"Really? So you ran out on your own initiative. Are you upset about something?"

Gutel used his magic to detect Mars in front of him. Judging from the weak magic emanating from her, she was at most an apprentice magician. And judging from the girl's sickly and malnourished appearance, she didn't seem to be a warrior who excelled in physical skills.

Although the opponent had just dodged his attack in a strange way, Gutel did not think that this blind girl had the capital to fight him.

"Indeed, Miss. Although I don't know why you deliberately concealed your magic power, in reality, you should be a powerful magician that I am far from able to defeat, right?"

As soon as Mars opened her mouth, she exposed Gutel's little secret that limited his magic power.

"Oh? Did you find out?"

Gutel raised her eyebrows and showed an expression of surprise on her face. In order to successfully disguise herself as a human, she specially practiced Volame's technique of hiding her magic power for a long time. Before this, no one had ever seen through her disguise.

"Although I can't see, God seems to have given me an extra sensitivity to magic."

Mars smiled and said that this was also the reason why she could move freely despite being blind. In the dark world that ordinary people could not see, the magic power of each person appeared as prominently in her perception as thermal imaging. And in Gutel's body, she could sense a huge amount of magic power fluctuating in his body, but it was deliberately suppressed from dissipating outwards.

"Since you know everything, why did you come here to die?"

Since everyone in the city was asleep and Mars had seen through his disguise, Gutel no longer restrained himself and released his huge magic power for the first time in a long time. A happy smile appeared on his face, as if he had finally welcomed the weekend after working fourteen consecutive days of rest.

"Of course not, I just wanted to talk to you?"

Mars shook her head, indicating that she did not want to fight with Gutel.

"Talk? If you can get your flower to stop casting the curse, I might as well spare your life~"

Guter put his hand on his chin and looked up.

"I want to know why you care about those people's lives? Why do you want to save them?"

However, Mars asked Guter a question that seemed a little stupid.

"Why……"

However, this question made Guter stunned.

"Yes, what does their life or death have to do with you?"

Mars reached out and took off the patched, tattered-looking knitted hat on her head.

A pair of small horns hidden under the hat appeared in front of Guter.

"Aren't we supposed to be the same kind?"

Mars smiled and confessed her hidden identity to Gutel.

"I see, you are a demon."

Gutel reached out and pressed down the brim of his sun hat. It would have been fine if his hidden magic power had only been seen through, but he didn't expect that the other party had also seen through his identity as a demon.

"Yes, that's why I want to know, why would a great demon like you want to save human lives?"

Mars said with a smile. Although she did not explicitly admit it, Mars had confirmed from Guter's reaction that her guess was correct.

"Yeah, come to think of it, no matter how many people died in this city, they are just unfamiliar numbers to me. It's better to say that as a demon, slaughtering humans is an instinct..."

Guter covered his cheeks with the brim of his hat and spoke with emotion.

"So, you won't disturb my mission anymore?"

Mars spread out her hands and a warm smile appeared on her face.

"If I hold on to this naive idea, I'll never find the answer."

However, when Gutel slowly raised his head and looked at Mars, a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

"Even though I'm just imitating now, that guy told me that as long as I keep imitating, I'll get the answer one day."

Gutel raised his hand and released attack magic at Mars again, and this time, it was five consecutive hits.

"I decided to trust that guy. After all, he's the man who killed the Demon King."

Guter chose to stand on the opposite side of his own kind.

boom!

Accompanied by a huge explosion, Mars once again accurately avoided the attack. Although a little embarrassed, she still rolled to the side and survived Gutel's attack.

"The Brave Sinmeier? I see, you are the Gutel the Master mentioned."

From Guter's answer, Mars grasped the clue and accurately deduced Guter's identity.

"you know me?"

Chapter 139: The Child Adopted by the Demons

When he heard his name coming out of Mars' mouth, Gutel couldn't help but frowned in trouble.
