Symphony for the Insect Princess

The pursuers finally arrived.

"teacher……"

Carlo and the two sisters were all trembling with fear. The three of them were intermediate magicians, while the pursuers were all senior magicians with many years of battle experience. As long as they took advantage of their numbers and coordinated well, Rodrigo, who lacked combat experience, would most likely not be their match.

"Teacher, how about the three of us also...?"

Staying here would be useless. If Rodrigo could help cover them, they could escape. Now is the time to -

"No, you stay here."

But Rodrigo refused.

"But teacher—"

"I said, please. You. Stay. Here."

His tone was uncharacteristically strong, and contained a certain power that was impossible to disobey.

"……teacher?"

-------------------

At night, 18:30——

(Really…really, really, what the hell is going on! As the princess of the endless chaos and darkness, I, your concubine, actually…)

Qimila held the hot potato in her arms - the great secret treasure, and couldn't help but let out a cry of grief.

“Why on earth is this happening?!!!!”

"If you have the energy to yell, why not run, Chimila-chan!"

"I know, I know, I know!"

The sky turned purple-red, and night was approaching. In the northern part of Balbra, dusk was always short and dark early.

"Haa ...

Shul had been maintaining the wind elemental magic just now. He was the only high-level magician, but after fleeing for so long, he finally fell into fatigue. The strong wind that pushed them to move at high speed on the street became more and more unstable.

"Everyone, you can't just run away without thinking. You need to get some rest first!"

"But--"

"Look at me—Wind Spirit, protect your compatriots!"

A strong wind enveloped the four people, forming a thin film that surrounded them 360 degrees.

"This is a special wind magic that can conceal our figures and voices. Everyone, please be careful not to release any magical fluctuations."

"Such a useful magic is only used now?" Erwin said dissatisfiedly.

"It's easy to put it on. Once you put it on, you can't move at high speeds. Now let's find a place to hide."

"But what about Teacher Rodrigo? And what about those three people?" Clara asked hurriedly.

Speaking of the other four, Shul and Erwin's expressions darkened.

"I don't know... the teacher must have his own way. We would only cause trouble for them if we turn back now."

"But--"

"etc!!!!"

Qimila, who had been silent just now, suddenly shouted, scaring the three of them.

"What happened again? Could it be..."

"Danger... My intuition is right! It's going to happen soon... Ugh!"

Qimila looked as if she had seen a ghost and pointed to the other side of the street.

There, the pedestrians coming and going suddenly made way.

“““——!!!”””

The other three almost screamed, but they held it back in time, but they dared not move.

It's Ai Lian.

She walked through the crowd with an impatient expression on her face, and under the pressure she released, every passerby looked fearful and avoided her.

Getting closer and closer.

Although this magic could conceal the sound, the four of them still held their breath, fearing that they would be exposed if they moved, so they could only stay where they were.

Can the concealment magic cast by a senior magician be hidden from an experienced wizard?

But Ailian's eyes wandered around the street and did not fall on them.

From the front, to the side, and then to the back.

That feeling of oppression has passed.

""""call……""""

Just as the four of them breathed a sigh of relief—

"Do you really think I didn't notice, you little brats?"

Chapter 60 Bombardment

"Do you really think I didn't notice, you little brats?"

Uh-huh! ! ! ! !

The shadows on the ground suddenly surged up, knocking the four people to the ground like waves! The magic was lifted, and they fell to the ground in a terrible state!

“It hurts, it hurts, my beautiful buttocks… wuwaaa!”

Qiumila got up cursing, but before she could stand firmly, she was tied up tightly like a dumpling by the flowing shadows. The others were also trapped and hung up, unable to fight back.

They struggled hard, but found that the more they struggled, the more their magic power and physical strength were sucked away by the shadow. Even Shul, a high-level magician, could not use magic at all.

"Little brats, are you finally behaving yourself?"

""""...""""

Ailian's face was filled with cold anger, and the magician's pressure was not concealed at all, which made everyone except Qiumila tremble.

"I don't want to mess around with you anymore, so don't waste my time searching me and just hand over the stuff!"

"What...what?"

Qiumila tried to play dumb.

"Great secret treasure!"

Failed to play dumb.

"I don't know. Maybe someone else picked it up?"

"But there's also a 50% chance it's on you! Don't make me search you!"

"It's just a body search, I'm not afraid!"

"When we, the Babel Special Operations Team, search people, we always dismember them to prevent them from hiding something inside their bodies and escaping harm."

"Alas!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the four of them were shocked. Qiumila looked helpless, while the other three were shocked at first, and then immediately cast pleading eyes at Qiumila.

Qiumila always carries the great secret treasure with her.

If Qimila doesn't hand it over, the four of them will become four portions of fresh meat sauce.

but--

"That's not right..."

"Aha?"

"Don't try to trick me! Regardless of whether the master voluntarily hands it over or not, and even regardless of whether the great secret treasure is really on us, you will definitely kill us anyway!"

"..."

Ailian frowned.

Then the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

"Yeah, you're right. I thought you were the dumbest and most timid of you all, but maybe you're actually the smartest and bravest."

Slurp, slurp, slurp... The shadows that wrapped around them were getting tighter and tighter, and the thick darkness began to seep into their skin, causing irreversible damage to their flesh from the inside.

"Sure enough, you shouldn't waste your time talking. Just kill him and search his body—"

whoosh-

Suddenly, a brilliant light burst out from the sky, illuminating the already dark sky! The shadows cast by the night were completely dispelled, and Ailian, who was in the middle of it, subconsciously covered her eyes to resist the strong light!

(This, could it be——that little bitch from the Pantheon!?)

The true form of the light was a star map suspended high in the sky! Astrological magic could only unleash its greatest power on a clear night. The star map resonated with the starry sky, amplifying the pure magic power in its vibrations, causing all magic in the area covered by it to boil!

Ailian was about to snatch the great secret treasure, which was naturally not something Stella of the Pantheon would like to see, so when she saw this scene with the vision-enhancing magic, she immediately took action!

A ray of starlight poured down, its power doubled compared to daytime! Astrology magic, elementally attributed to light, is the purest form of starlight, naturally countering the darkness represented by shadow magic! Stella is Ailian's natural enemy. Close combat is another matter, but in ranged combat, Ailian has no chance of standing head-on with Stella!

"damn it!!!"

Between the great treasure and self-protection, Ailian chose the latter. She tried her best to mobilize the remaining shadows and dodge as quickly as possible!

boom! ! !

shining!

The world is spinning!

Earth-shaking!

She didn't know how long it took, maybe a few seconds, maybe a few minutes... Clara could no longer tell up from down, left from right, and felt her whole body aching as if it were falling apart. Her mouth was filled with the taste of dust.

"Get up, quick!"

Suddenly, a voice came from above her head, and then a warm little hand pulled her up! At this moment, her blurred vision finally became clear. She seemed to be standing up from the wreckage of the house, and Qimila was beside her, supporting her!

"Qimila? We..."

"Luckily, I was just hit by the shockwaves from that star or something and was blown away!"

"Senior Shule... Erwin... where are they?"

"them……"

Qimila's voice suddenly became low.
