No wonder the Dimensional Demon was the archenemy of Magicians . It was extremely fast—faster than the limit for organisms on Firuman!

Even with Nana's speed, she could only make three stabs . The first was blocked by the Dimensional Demon reflexively . The second was blocked by its cuticle . Only the third one was able to cause harm, and it had fully processed everything by the time she made her fourth stab .

Clang, clang, clang . There were countless clashes, and it blocked all of Nana's attacks . As he blocked, its figure became blurry and illusory as if it would flee into s.p.a.ce again .

Nana couldn't keep it here!

The Dimensional Demon was about to vanish into thin air soon .

"Restraint!" With perfect timing, Link tossed out a s.p.a.ce Orb . When it appeared, it was only the size of a fist . It was beside the Dimensional Demon in an instant, and it burst, enclosing the demon inside .

The Dimensional Demon was trapped inside, and its body became clear again .

"Brilliant Moon Arc Cut!"

Royal Knight Joseph finally reacted . It wasn't that he had a slow reaction speed but that Nana, Link, and the Dimension Demon were too quick! His sword sliced through the air . A blazing white arc of light cut toward the opponent .

"Protective Halo!"

The other Royal Knights didn't stand around either . Each one glowed with heavy light . The light spread out, jumping from person to person . Instantly, everyone was surrounded by a milky white cloud of glowing runes .

Protective Halo

Battle Aura Technique

Effect: After the halo appears, all light organisms within 150 feet will have their defensive abilities against dark power raised by 50% . Protective abilities against biological attacks are raised by 100%, and speed is raised by 50% .

(Note: this holy power comes from the Holy Grail!)

With these actions, the Dimensional Demon was finally hit . It was about to be killed, but suddenly, there were roars . The burning red figure shot out from behind a tree . Its target was none other than Link .

It was a Fodor Flaming Demon!

This Flaming Demon was very powerful and extremely fast . At its top speed, it would leave a trail of fire in the air . Its appearance had perfect timing too—it was the exact moment Link released the s.p.a.ce Orb to capture the Dimensional Demon .

"Master!" Nana wanted to stab the Dimensional Demon to death, but with Link in danger, her target moved to the Fodor Flaming Demon .

Boom! The air exploded, and Nana disappeared . When she reappeared, she was blocking the Fodor Flaming Demon's path .

The demon seemed to be prepared; it chopped down with its flaming sword .

Clang, clang, clang, clang . Metal clashed against each other . This Flaming Demon's swordsmans.h.i.+p was practically perfect . It definitely was not as fast as Nana, but each of its actions was both defensive and offensive . Its sword didn't move too much, and it planned the position of each slice . Just like that, it consecutively blocked all of Nana's attacks!

They dueled for one-tenth of a second, but their swords. .h.i.t more than 30 times . Finally, it came to an end .

Nana's left arm was sliced by the Flaming Demon's sword . Her st.u.r.dy leather armor cracked instantly, and she instantly flew backwards from the force . Nearly at the same time, her other sword, Whispers of the Forest, stabbed the Flaming Demon's right chest . It pierced the skin of its chest and left a b.l.o.o.d.y ten-centimeter-wide hole .

However, the Flaming Demon had a strong vitality . Even if there was a wound in its chest, it was still a small wound . It barely affected its fighting .

They were evenly matched; the Fodor Flaming Demon's swordsmans.h.i.+p was incredible!

Even more terrifying, after Nana was forced back by the strike, the Flaming Demon continued charging towards Link, ignoring its wound .

At this time, the Dimensional Demon started struggling violently . Thick battle aura appeared on its body . Not only did this help it block the Brilliant Moon Arc Cut, but it also loosened Link's spatial restraint .

Link was forced to use up more Mana to stabilize the spatial restraint . As for the Flaming Demon, he didn't worry about it because he had teammates .

"Crystal Fortress!"

Milda had been using Level-7 spells the entire time . In the blink of an eye, three semi-translucent crystal arcs appeared before the charging Flaming Demon .

Boom! An instant later, the Fodor Flaming Demon collided with the first fortress . It smashed the wall into bits of light, but it slowed down considerably .

Boom! A second later, it crumbled the second fortress . Its speed had become slower than an average person .

Nana rushed over at this moment .

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

There was another round of metallic clangs . After one-tenth of a second, the Fodor Flaming Demon roared in pain . Simultaneously, a large number of metallic shards exploded .

It wasn't that its swordsmans.h.i.+p wasn't well enough or that its sword wasn't strong enough . After hundreds of high-intensity collisions, the demon's sword was shattered by Nana's main sword, the Last Nightmare . The Fodor Flaming Demon paid heavily for this accident .

Crack . Nana pierced its right arm, breaking the bone .

The Flaming Demon roared and shot up powerfully . The sword in its left hand struck down at an impossible angle . Thick blood-like light flowed through the blade . The sulfuric odor in the air suddenly made it painful for one to breathe .

Nana instantly retreated . Her past experiences told her that not only were these flames at a high temperature, they were also highly corrosive . She might not be able to withstand them .

Just as she retreated, Romulsin finally acted . It was the Thorn Python!

Boom! The ground cracked apart . A three-foot-wide python-like thing made of countless thorns shot out from the crack . There were countless sharp vines at the tip, stabbing at the Fodor Flaming Demon like spears .

The Fodor Flaming Demon finally gave up on attacking Link . It waved its sword, blocking the vines while retreating .

At the other side, the Dimensional Demon had finally sunk into despair . The eight Royal Knights, including Joseph, had rushed to it . Five crossed swords filled with Sacred Silver stabbed into it at once .

At that moment, Link transmitted his Mana at full power . The spatial restraint's strength multiplied!

The Dimensional Demon was instantly restricted strongly . It couldn't even use 10% of its strength . Faced with attacks all around it, it managed to block three swords but was powerless against the other five .

Five swords stabbed into it instantly . Under the battle aura's force, the Sacred Silver poured into the Dimensional Demon's body .

It let out a piercing screech . Its body started writhing and convulsing in pain . This was not struggling to escape; this was struggling for its life .

Even a demon could not withstand these injuries .

Seeing this situation, the Fodor Flaming Demon gave up . With a burst of dark red fire battle aura, it sliced through Romilson's Thorn Python . It used this opportunity to retreat and flee .

Nana followed after with her swords, wanting to keep the Flaming Demon here . They exchanged three blows, and the Flaming Demon was stabbed through the back, while Nana was forced back again .

It was not because Nana was too weak; her body was too light . Though it was made of metal, its goal was to increase speed and agility . While it was st.u.r.dy enough, most of the metal had a sponge-like structure . Nana was only around 200 pounds while this Flaming Demon was at least half a ton . Nana couldn't withstand the strikes at all and had to jump back .

Of course, the most important thing was that the Flaming Demon's moves had returned to the true essence of swordsmans.h.i.+p . It was abnormally fast, almost 50% of Nana's speed, and extremely effective . Each strike seemed brash and thoughtless but was all flawless .

This perfect swordsmans.h.i.+p was able to block Nana's strikes which were faster than the speed of sound!

The Fodor Flaming Demon ran at top speed too, around 650 feet per second . It was abnormally agile as well . After a few turns in the forest, it actually disappeared .

Nana chased after instinctively, but Link called out, "Come back!"

There were more demons up ahead . If they were all as strong as the Fodor Flaming Demon, Nana would be in danger . It wasn't worth it .

Nana immediately stopped and went back to Link . "Master, the target isn't taken care of yet . " Her voice was still crisp and lovely without any emotions, but there was a subtle tinge of discontent .

"Don't worry . There'll be more chances . "

Link glanced back at the Dimensional Demon . This guy was about to die and was surviving off its strong vitality as a high-level demon .

At 6 1/2 feet, this demon was not that tall . It was a small thing among the other high-level demons . Its muscles and figure were perfect though . If Link's surprise attack hadn't been successful and the demon was allowed to use its top speed, probably even Nana would have a hard time against it .

Joseph walked over . He stepped onto the Dimensional Demon's chest, pointing the crossed sword at its forehead . "Tell me," he ordered . "Where is the Necropolis?"

The Dimensional Demon didn't answer . It just laughed—the sharp cackling sound was like a snake screaming .

Joseph stabbed the sword through the demon's chest, nailing it to the ground . Then he twisted the sword forcefully . "Will you tell me?"

"Sss…Master will take revenge for me!" With that, the Dimensional Demon shook and exploded with a boom . Black blood splattered in all directions .

It had chosen suicide!

Thankfully, everyone was still covered by the Royal Knights' protective halo . Other than Joseph, they were all far away so only he was affected . Everyone else was alright .

The powerful Dimensional Demon had been killed, but there was no joy in it . Instead, the people grew more somber .

They had had the advantage of striking first against these two high-level demons, and everyone had used all their tricks . But only one was left, and the other had escaped . Even Nana, their strongest fighter, had been unable to capture it .

If there were similar demons in the Necropolis—what would they do?

Everyone fell silent .

Half a minute later, Link said, "This is a mission without any choices . All we can do is go for it so let's continue!"

Indeed, this mission had no other choices . If Wavier didn't die, the undead army would surge into the mainland . They would still die on the battlefield . Rather than facing the undead army ravaging their homes, it was better to do their best now!

The group forged on . This time, they felt heavy but also resolute .

It was boom or bust!

…

Necropolis .

The Fodor Flaming Demon ran back and knelt before the succubus half its size . "Master," it said quietly, "They are very strong . They killed Milote . "

"Oh, even Milote failed?" The succubus sighed at the shocking news . After a few seconds, she looked at Wavier, who was in the distance busy with the sacrifice . She raised her voice and whined, "Wavier, hurry and think of a solution . Two of my strongest Warriors couldn't stop them . "

Wavier laughed . "Misamier, help me get some more time . Not too long, just one hour . I'll let them, especially Link, know what a G.o.d's strength feels like!"

He howled with laughter and waved a hand . The Undead Knight beside him dragged another batch of Delonga citizens up the altar . He raised a hand and let the sword fall . Heads rolled down; blood flowing over the entire altar .

A beautiful power descended from the air . Wavier squinted his eyes drunkenly . Watered by this power, his appearance returned to a 20-year-old's . He looked handsome, arrogant, and lively—other than those two crazed and bloodshot eyes!

"Alright, but I'll only help you delay them for one more hour . " Misamier stood up . Twisting her snake-like waist, she walked toward the forest shrouded in white fog .
