As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

Roy couldn't help but mutter, "You don't have to follow me."

However, Hex saw this as a senior adventurer's concern for the latter. He grinned and said, "Brother Sword Ghost, don't worry about us. As adventurers, we accept commissions and naturally must complete them to the end! This is the unanimous decision of the group and me!"

Malfoy on the side was once again surprised by the adventurers' extraordinary ideological awareness, and his eyes were a little wet.

"Thank you very much. If I can return alive from this battle..."

"Haha, no need to say more. If we are still alive after this battle, just buy us a drink!" Hex hooked his arm around Malfoy's neck without any hesitation and said carelessly.

Roy moved his mouth, but finally gave a wry smile.

Originally, the relationship between the adventurers and the Magician Society was only lukewarm, but unexpectedly, the appearance of the demons brought them together.

Especially the adventurers, since they have already made up their minds, it would be underestimating them if we persuade them to retreat first.

From a rational point of view, the more combat power the better.

However, Roy didn't intend to ignore these people and watch them become cannon fodder just for the sake of the Fate-Defying Node.

Seeing that the three men were getting more and more excited, and couldn't wait to roll up their sleeves and fight the demons to the death, Roy interrupted them.

"Wait, if we want to fight, we must win."

"I stayed here to win, not to die."

Malfoy's eyes lit up, but he was also suspicious: "Mr. Sword Ghost, do you have any ideas?"

How could we turn the tide when the enemy was so outnumbered? Besides, adventurers didn't usually lead troops into battle.

"of course."

"We have no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation. There is no room for maneuver. Therefore, our only option is decapitation."

When these words were spoken, the three of them widened their eyes at the same time and were speechless.

In duels between extraordinary beings, decapitation is not an uncommon tactic. Defeating the opponent's high-end combat power will severely damage their morale and turn the tide of the battle in terms of combat power.

Especially since the enemy has no mid-sequence extraordinary people except Diabolos. If we can kill him, our mid-sequence will be unstoppable.

However, Diabolos was a Sequence 5 Great Demon who single-handedly defeated three Sequence 6 warriors.

It would be better to say that it was suicide than beheading.

But as Roy said.

This is the only option.

Sequence 5 is known for being able to defeat ten thousand enemies at once. If a real fight breaks out, it will be a devastating blow to ordinary armies.

If no one held Diabolos back, a few Shadow Balls from the opponent would be enough to crush them.

Thinking of this, Malfoy raised his head with a tragic look on his face: "In that case, let me..."

"No, Lyanna and I will go." Roy chuckled, his tone full of unquestionable confidence: "I have a plan."

Chapter 123 Have a good journey

In the distance, an alien army composed of bloodthirsty and crazy demons and fearless cult monsters slowly approached like a black cloud.

As for us, both adventurers and magicians were covered in wounds, with exhaustion and fear written all over their faces.

As the great wizard of the Red Demon School and the commander-in-chief of this campaign, Malfoy was at the front of the battle and couldn't help feeling powerless.

But when he recalled the tragic figure in a black robe, accompanied by the witch, who resolutely headed towards the mansion where the devil was in charge, he suddenly raised his head, and a flame of unwillingness rose in his heart.

Roy never imagined that his confident words "I have my own solution" would sound like a comforting last words to Malfoy.

How could one possibly come up with a strategy to deal with a Sequence 5 demon, a monster that could outmaneuver ten thousand enemies at once?

Mr. [Sword Ghost] must have already prepared himself for certain death, and is willing to sacrifice himself to fight for a chance of victory!

And the girl named Lyanna must have the same plan.

Thinking of this, Malfoy, who is always serious and unkind, has tears in his eyes.

He turned around, faced the crowd, and shouted resolutely.

"Everyone, I know you are afraid!"

"It's human nature to fear death. Furthermore, we're facing the demons, monsters that ravaged all of Viszea thousands of years ago!"

"Not to mention you, even I'm scared."

"But now is not the time to back down!"

"This is no longer a civil war within the Magicians' Society. It's not as simple as eliminating a traitor. It's a war between humans and demons!"

"Transcendents bear responsibilities far beyond those of ordinary people. While we gain power, honor, and extraordinary achievements, this responsibility also requires us to stand up in times of crisis for humanity!"

Malfoy's shout caused some ripples, but that was all.

After all, everyone hears these official slogans every day. But when faced with such difficulties, morale has plummeted, and a few slogans can only play a limited role.

However, when the next sentence was uttered, everyone's eyes changed.

"I know these requests are difficult, but you should know that while we were cowering and hesitant, someone was already rushing ahead of us!"

"The adventurer Sword Ghost and the black magician Lyanna had the opportunity to retreat, but now they have volunteered to take on the task of beheading the great demon, challenging him to fight for our chance of survival!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Everyone present had witnessed the unstoppable prowess of those two men on the battlefield.

While they were in awe, a fire was also ignited in their hearts.

Looking at those eyes that finally became heated, Malfoy finally smiled, because he felt the same way as them.

The Red Mage roared, his voice choking with sobs, "Indeed, the adventurers had room to retreat. Young girls shouldn't have been drawn into such danger. Yet, they resolutely made the choice, risking their lives to face a powerful Sequence 5 foe, taking the greatest risk!"

"That's right, you can be afraid and uneasy, but you must never retreat and let down the opportunity they paid for with their lives!"

“If they can do it, why can’t we?”

"The whole army obeys the order!"

"Let these demon bastards see your backbone!"

Then, the shouts and cries of killing were like thunder.

Whether they were adventurers yearning for freedom, arrogant magicians, or even ordinary people without extraordinary powers, at this moment, they all held in their hearts respect for the Sword Ghost and Lyanna, rekindled their fighting spirit, and resolutely launched a charge against the demons.

The demons that have been raised underground for many years have never come into contact with human armies.

At most, they are occasionally fed to death row prisoners and enemies of the Purple Demon School, who kill them for fun.

So in their hearts, humans are cowards and losers. Compared with these powerful creatures who grew up in killing, they are just worthless wimps.

As long as they show their claws and fangs, they will be scared to death.

But when they finally rushed to the front of the battle, intending to slaughter them wantonly like livestock, they were met with countless boiling magics, countless cold swords, and a group of roaring, snarling, and even crying... madmen!

Among them is Hex, who is unwilling to help the Sword Demon, Reid, who admires the Sword Demon's heroic deeds, and the vice-president Claire, who thinks her own president is destined to die and cry.

Malfoy's speech successfully made everyone believe that [Sword Ghost] and Lyanna would never come back, and this battle was to see them off!

The cultists' monsters fell inexplicably under an attack more powerful than the last battle, while the intelligent demons cried for their parents and fell into great confusion.

why?

Although the two tribes had a deep blood feud in history, shouldn't this hatred have been forgotten long ago?

Why did humans, who were at a disadvantage in terms of combat power and physically exhausted, not retreat at all?!

Why are these humans so murderous, as if their entire families have been slaughtered and they can't wait to devour their flesh and blood?!

Humans, are they a race with such strong cohesion?!

Roy's plan was simple.

Taking advantage of the melee between the two sides, they attacked the barrier and sneaked into the mansion under the cover of a small number of adventurers.

In fact, the demons were murderous, the evil monsters were weak, and the purple mages who were good at defending the city had been killed or injured. Lyanna could easily melt the barrier with Hydra's venom, so it was not difficult to sneak into it.

The only trouble is the demon army encountered during the breakout process.

Roy wanted to avoid unnecessary consumption as much as possible before fighting Diabolos.

However, the adventurers showed a fighting spirit far beyond his expectations. They used their bodies to block the swords as much as possible, unwilling to let him and Lyanna waste any energy.

The two of them easily reached the foot of the barrier and re-entered the mansion under the escort of the adventurers.

"Mr. Sword Ghost, Miss Lyanna, we will remember you!"

"Mr. President, I like it..." "Mr. President, we will convey your feelings to Mr. Roy!"

"Have a safe journey!"

Amidst the funeral-like farewell sounds, under the black fog, the corners of Roy's mouth twitched, and even Lyanna's expression became subtle.

It sounds like they are going to die...

"What did you say to them?" Lyanna rubbed her forehead speechlessly.

"I told you I have a solution..." Roy muttered, feeling a little depressed.

Roy expected that this surprise attack would boost the soldiers, but the way of boosting them seemed to be wrong!

Shouldn't we cheer and wish them a triumphant return?

This crying and wailing is really unlucky, isn't it?!

However, putting aside these minor incidents, the plan itself went smoothly.

There were almost no defenders in the mansion. It was obvious that Diabolos no longer cared about this stronghold or even the entire Purple Demon School.

But just before going deeper into the mansion, Roy called out to Lyanna.

"Wait, I have something for you."

Roy took out a pendant with a brown gem that looked like amber hanging on it.

This is exactly the purple-level item that was drawn before, [Heart of the Earth].

Lyanna could tell at a glance that this thing was extraordinary, and hesitated: "This is..."

"A protective item that can withstand an attack from a high-level transcendent."

"It's a gift from my junior. Normally, I'd be overjoyed, but not this time." Lyanna gave a wry smile, then suppressed the emotion in her eyes. She looked at Roy sternly and said, "Your sequence is too low. You should be the one wearing it."

Chapter 124 I'm Enough

Lyanna knew that Roy could never get his hands on her.

Unexpectedly, the boy was very determined this time: "If you don't want it, I won't wear it either."

"Ugh?"

Roy knew he couldn't win the argument with Lyanna, so he just acted like a rogue: "No, just throw it away. It was originally prepared for you anyway."

Seeing Roy clenching the [Enemy's Heart], Lyanna finally panicked and raised her hands in surrender: "Wait, wait, I'll wear it."

"I really can't do anything with you..."

It was rare to see Lyanna being humiliated, and Roy couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

But the next second, Lyanna turned her back to him, lifted her hair, revealing her slender, white neck, as delicate and fragile as a work of art.

"In that case, please help me put it on~"

"You guy..."

Forget it, now is not the time to compete with a bad woman.

Roy honestly helped her put on the necklace.

Lyanna stroked the brown gem hanging on her chest. After a moment of trance, she squinted her eyes and sighed to herself, "I feel like I would have no regrets even if I died now."

"What nonsense..." Roy was speechless.

How come even a bad woman like you is setting a flag? Are you afraid that you won't be able to return alive?

"Also, this thing isn't a gift for you. Remember to return it to me when everything is over!"

"What a shame." Lyanna muttered softly with a hint of resentment, but then smiled again: "Don't worry, it was just a joke."
