"It's not exactly our first meeting. When you were little... never mind, now's not the time to talk about that."

Mrs. Meilin shook her head and sighed. She took Faga's hand and stood up, immediately saying, "Go quickly to save Hoshimi Miya! The army has already withdrawn from the outer ring. More and more demons will be coming to support them. Hoshimi Miya will not be able to hold on sooner or later!"

"good!"

Fagga nodded, then flapped his wings and soared into the sky, seeing a large number of demons gathering towards a certain ruin in the distance at nine o'clock.

The explosions continued, and the shockwaves spread out in layers, with thick smoke billowing like a mushroom cloud.

It seemed that Hoshimi Miya was right there. Without further hesitation, Faga flapped its wings with all its might, and a sonic boom suddenly rang out. The speed was so fast that it left only a fleeting afterimage.

...

Is she running out of strength?

[I'm not sure, but she was already in this state at least two hours ago, and she's still like this two hours later.]

[Damn it, is the Void Hunter really that difficult to deal with? We have over a hundred of these beasts here trying to wear her down; that force could wipe out the entire rebel army five times over!]

[Don't be pessimistic. I think she's probably reached her limit this time.]

In the sky filled with billowing smoke, there were hundreds of demons circling around.

However, among these hundreds of vampires, five were clearly different. They still maintained the appearance of humans or vampires, but their bodies were covered in armor of unknown material, preventing them from being exposed to any sunlight.

These five [Demons] clearly possessed self-awareness. They gathered together, communicating with each other, and staring together at the long-skirted girl, Hoshimi Miyabi, standing on the ground in front of two buses with their tires blown out.

She knelt on one knee, her once resolute face now flushed, her breath coming in short gasps, and sweat had already soaked into her eyes. The stinging pain made even her vision of the world blurry.

But she still struggled to stand up, and although she almost knelt down again, she finally stood up.

Although her legs were bent from exhaustion, her hands trembled so much that she could barely lift the knife, and her bangs were stuck to her forehead in layers of sweat, the eyes beneath them still looked as fierce as a wolf.

"drink!"

Suddenly, Hoshimi Miyabi roared, and the demon sword in her hand suddenly burst into foxfire, which then spread through Hoshimi Miyabi's arm to her whole body, exhausting all the remaining power she had!

The next instant, Hoshimi Miyabi drew her sword and slashed out.

The enormous blade of light, surrounded by a cluster of orchids, was exceptionally conspicuous in the pitch-black night. Whether they were demons or humans on the bus, everyone was focused on this flash of light, their eyes momentarily blinded.

Like a wisp of fire, it is indestructible.

That touch of orchid color clearly possessed the resilience of ice, yet its surface flowed like flames. The two completely different powers of heat and cold gathered in the same move, and instead of canceling each other out, they became even more powerful!

How could he still possess this power?

The optimistic beast cried out in fear, its voice rising abruptly.

It was truly unexpected that Hoshimi Miyabi, whom it had previously thought was at her wit's end, could still unleash such power, and the surrounding air instantly became scorching hot.

What surprised him even more was that, despite the hot and dry air, he felt a chill deep in his bones. His body felt like an antique machine that hadn't been oiled in a long time, with a persistent sluggishness in every movement.

Stop yelling! We can't escape now, quickly block them!

Behind the Optimistic Beast, a beast that looked like the leader smacked the Optimistic Beast hard on the back of the head and roared loudly.

Seeing this, the other three demons quickly composed themselves and focused on the calamity before them.

At that time, fire, ice, electricity, physics, ether...

Six different types of power converged at the same moment, transforming into a ball of light.

【go! 】

With a flick of his finger, the leader of the demons sent out a ball of light that instantly unfolded upon contact with the blade, transforming into a multicolored shield that forcefully blocked the blade's attack.

"It's blocked!" the optimist exclaimed excitedly, his eyes lighting up.

But just as it finished speaking, the light shield suddenly emitted a crisp sound.

In the next instant, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the light shield, as if it would shatter at any moment!

Oh no, it's going to break!

The leader of the pack had a contorted face, his teeth clenched in resentment.

Finally, just before the light shield was about to shatter, it exhaled a long, comfortable breath and said calmly:

Vampires, die here!

Instantly, the eyes of hundreds of mindless demons behind the five sentient demons lit up, and they rushed past the five demons, heading straight for the blade of light.

boom!

The azure sky has been washed clean, leaving behind a bright and clear night.

Hoshimi Miyabi did not look up, because she had already lost all her strength.

My body was like withered grass by the roadside, blown down by a loud bang from the sky.

Despite being extremely tired, Hoshimi Miyabi stubbornly maintained a sliver of clarity.

She stared blankly into space, her vision limited to a collapsed road sign and houses behind it that had long since turned to ruins. Even the raging fires that were everywhere seemed to deem these ruins worthless and refused to burn in her direction.

until...

Thump!

A demon fell into the ruins, and Hoshimi Miyabi's long ears twitched, a slight smile curving her lips.
