Chapter 78 Formidable Enemy
Chapter 78 Formidable Enemy
"Are the Sky Cult members really this blatant now?"
"Well, there's no one else here, and I have a rather flamboyant personality. Oh dear, how did I end up talking about personality? It's all that bookworm's fault."
Unlike their opponent's flippant attitude, the slime killers were all tense, gripping their weapons tightly.
Qiao Jinna looked at the uninvited guest with a solemn expression, her thoughts churning.
This is the second time I've encountered someone with blue hair on this trip. Is it a coincidence? Or was the girl also one?
Or perhaps... it was that girl who revealed our whereabouts?
Although they initially chose to trust the girl, they couldn't help but think this way.
"What do you want to do?"
"Hmm~ What are you doing?"
With a flick of her finger, the wand spun in her hand, faintly emitting the cry of an eagle.
The woman tilted her head and thought for a while.
"Looking for fun with the four of you?"
"He attacked the four of us just for fun? What a madman."
"Haha, thank you... for the compliment!"
With a wave of her wand, an invisible claw of air reached out to grab the Slime Slayers!
clang!
But the claws only flew halfway before being blocked by an equally invisible barrier. The immense force caused the barrier to ripple, carrying a faint white light.
Looking around, he saw the elven monk Cassius holding a scripture, its pages constantly turning.
It was he who cast the barrier magic.
"Not bad defense, a holy light barrier?"
"snort."
Cassius snorted coldly and did not answer the woman's question. At the same time, the magician Anna waved her wand.
"Fireball"
Boom!

As the sorceress Anna chanted softly, a huge red fireball appeared out of thin air outside the barrier and shot towards the woman.
"Oh dear, what a scary fireball!"
Sizzle, sizzle sizzle...
The woman simply continued waving her wand, and invisible claws reappeared, tearing Anna's fireball to shreds in the blink of an eye. Flames exploded in the air, obscuring the view and scorching the air.
But as the flames dissipated, a figure emerged from the firelight.
Jokina approached in an instant with incredible speed, looking down to see Slime Slayer wielding a greatsword, poised to swing it.
It seems that Georgina used the Slime Slayer's power as a stepping stone, using the fireball as cover to get closer.
The woman waved her magic wand.
Crash!
An invisible barrier around Jokina shattered, but it did not stop her from getting closer.
After blocking an attack, Jokina was already in front of the woman. The woman was no longer able to swing her wand a second time. Jokina took her rapier and swung it forward.
呲!
With a single sword strike, the boulder beneath the woman's feet was sliced in two, without even raising a speck of dust.
"Be careful!"
As her companion's voice rang out, the woman's corpse suddenly exploded, turning into countless blue feathers that pierced towards Jokina.
"Gale!"
Anna's fierce wind slowed the speed at which the blue feather was stabbing at Georgina. Georgina reacted and swung several swords in an instant.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
The large clump of feathers was completely struck by the sharp sword and disappeared into the air.
Qiao Jinna stepped onto the spot where the woman had just been standing, and as if sensing something, she looked up. The blue-haired woman was hovering in mid-air, looking down at her.
"Not bad swordsmanship—"
Before she could finish speaking, a dark figure appeared behind her and swung a dagger wreathed in black flames at her.
boom!
The blue-haired woman was hit by the attack and sent flying, engulfed in black flames, crashing into the lava at great speed, creating a wave of fiery lava.
At the spot where she had just been, countless blue feathers fell from the sky. Jokina swung her sword and slashed at the air, shredding all the feathers and revealing the black figure behind them.
"Well done, Spinka."
He landed in the air and stood next to Jokina, lightly bumping fists with her as she extended her fist.
From the moment the blue-haired woman appeared, the five-person team had become four. Spinca, the assassin, had already disappeared and was looking for an opportunity to attack.
"However... although I felt like I hit it, it didn't really feel real."
"Didn't you feel the stab going in?"
Spinka shook his head.
"I felt like I was being blocked, so I pushed her out forcefully."
Upon hearing Spinka's words, everyone's gaze focused on the spot where the woman had fallen into the lava. The thick, heavy lava had created a large crater, which was slowly healing.
There were no screams, nor did they smell any burnt meat.
Captain Slime Slayer hoisted his sword and planted his feet firmly on the ground.
"Wait, Captain, don't make any rash moves!"
"……good."
There was no movement. Where did she go?
As Jokina thought this, she gripped the rapier even tighter.
"Wait, the black flames have gone out."
Whoosh... The air was moving, carrying the sound of wings flapping, but strangely, no one noticed it.
Are you looking for me?
Huh? Who's talking? That's strange...
"Georgina! Behind you!"
It wasn't until the shouts of others that Georgina reacted, turning around and quickly swinging her sword, only to be met with a pair of blue wings filling her vision.
Ding.
A sense of stagnation came from the hilt of the sword; Jokina's sword was blocked by a huge blue wing!
Qiao Jinna's heart skipped a beat, and she was about to release her grip and pull back—
Whoosh, crackle.
"what!"
A flash of blue appeared, and several layers of barriers shattered simultaneously. Qiao Jinna's arm was severed by the woman's other blue wing.
But Jokina didn't panic. She reacted quickly, using her remaining left hand to grab the rapier that had fallen from her right hand, and thrust it towards the woman's head.
But at that moment, she saw the woman's alluring blue eyes.
Danger!
A chill ran down her spine. Qiao Jinna abandoned her attack, quickly closed her eyes, and pushed off the ground with her feet to dodge.
The blue-haired woman smiled faintly and narrowed her eyes. The pair of blue wings on her back swung down at Jokina once again.
clang!
A black dagger suddenly appeared, helping Georgina block an attack. Spinka emerged from Georgina's shadow, not looking into the woman's eyes, but instead stabbing her chest with the dagger in his other hand.
A dagger flashing with black flames sliced through the concealing wings, about to pierce the woman, when suddenly the woman's wand opened its eagle claws and gripped the dagger.
sizzle.
The black flames burned, and the eagle's claws blocked for a moment before loosening their grip, but the woman had already flapped her wings and flown into the air.
hula.
But just as the woman reached mid-air, a huge fireball blocked her path overhead, followed by more than a hundred flaming arrows that made the air boil.
"There's no way out now, huh? Well done, hehehe."
A piercing laugh came from above. Jokina picked up her arm and pressed it back down. The elf Cassius used healing magic on Jokina's severed arm.
Looking up at the Sky Cultists who remained disdainful even though they had nowhere to retreat, Jokina's mood grew increasingly heavy.
What exactly is this guy up to?
Are there other enemies around?
