Chapter 87: The Demon of the King of Horses (Sixth update! Please subscribe!)
In the dark night, the deep pit outside Juwang Town still exudes an extraordinary presence, making people wonder if a meteorite has just fallen here.
“Zheng——”
In an open space outside the deep pit, a light suddenly lit up without any warning, dispelling some of the darkness.
The light rose from the ground, and the source was a gradually expanding magic cube array. It was like a strange door appeared here, allowing several figures to emerge from it.
Not long after, the light disappeared, the magic cube array also disappeared, but the several figures did not disappear, and they came to the place where the deep pit was together.
"This is……"
The leading girl frowned and made a sound of doubt.
She was a very beautiful girl.
The girl has bright red long hair that flutters in the wind, adding a touch of dreamy color to the wilderness and making the desolate scenery around it come alive.
The girl was wearing a student uniform of a certain school. She had a plump figure with clear curves. Her thighs under her skirt were so white that they seemed to be glowing, making people want to touch her.
As for the girl's temperament, it is extremely elegant and noble, and people can vaguely glimpse her inner confidence.
However, this confidence was immediately shattered after seeing the deep pit in front of him.
"President."
Next to the red-haired girl, there was another person whose appearance and figure were no less beautiful than hers.
She was a girl with long black hair tied into a ponytail on one side, exuding the scent of Yamato Nadeshiko and looking very gentle.
This girl, like the former, frowned and spoke with a serious look.
"I didn't sense the presence of magic power, nor did I detect the existence of light power. This is not caused by demons, angels, fallen angels, or the like."
The Yamato Nadeshiko-like girl came to this conclusion with just one glance.
"Isn't it a demon, an angel, or a fallen angel?" The red-haired girl frowned deeper and deeper, and asked, "Could it be caused by someone from the church?"
The one who answered this question was not the Yamato Nadeshiko-like girl, but the man standing behind the two girls.
"No, it wasn't caused by the people in the church."
The man who spoke seemed to be younger than the two girls. He was tall and thin, with an outstanding appearance. He was an absolute handsome man.
"Whether it's the church's exorcists or combatants, the power they use in battle is basically the power of light bestowed by angels, unless the opponent is the holder of a divine weapon or is holding a weapon with divine attributes."
The handsome man said this with extraordinary confidence, and it can be seen that he has a certain degree of understanding of the church.
"… a divine weapon?"
The last remaining person also whispered and spoke.
This is a petite girl with slender limbs and short white shoulder-length hair.
The girl is obviously younger than the other three. Although her face is very delicate, it is still full of childishness. If Todo Kirin were here, he might doubt whether she is the same age as him.
There was almost no expression on the petite girl's delicate face, which made it easy for people to think of a doll or a puppet. Her voice was quite nice, but extremely cold and concise. She used the shortest words to express her opinions.
"Hmm... could it be caused by the holder of a divine weapon?" The red-haired girl stared at the deep pit in front of her and said, "There shouldn't be many divine weapons that could cause this level of damage, right?"
"Yes." The Yamato Nadeshiko-like girl said calmly, "This destructive power is comparable to that of the highest-level demons. A divine weapon with this level of power is definitely not something unknown."
"It's unlikely that the other party is a holder of the artifact who originally lived in this town. It's most likely an outsider."
"Moreover, there is the possibility that they are outsiders who do not belong to the three major forces of demons, angels, and fallen angels."
The four people present knew exactly what this meant.
"There is actually such a person entering Juwang Town?"
The handsome man's face tightened.
"Danger……"
The petite girl also whispered.
"President." The girl who looked like a Yamato Nadeshiko immediately said, "Report what happened here. The demon kings should be concerned."
An unknown strong man has entered Juwang Town, and it is very likely that he possesses the power of the highest level of demons, which is a big threat to everyone present.
After all, this is their area of activity, their territory. If an unknown strong man breaks in here, even if he is not targeting them, he may conflict with them.
This must be prevented.
The highest level demon is the highest level existence below the Demon King, and it is definitely not something they can handle.
As the leader of the group, the red-haired girl naturally understood the importance of this matter.
Although we don't know which force the powerful person who caused such destruction belongs to, no matter which force it is, it is possible that he has ill intentions.
Needless to say, angels and fallen angels are mortal enemies who have been fighting against demons for thousands of years. If you encounter them, you will be skinned alive even if you don't die.
If the other party is a demon, then coming uninvited like this could also be an enemy.
If you are a demon, there is no way you don't know that this is the territory of Rias Gremory, the current head of the Demon Duke Gremory family.
Coming to the noble's territory without saying a word was by no means a friendly visit, but more likely a provocation and a challenge.
"President."
The Yamato Nadeshiko-like girl spoke again, her tone even more stern.
"call……"
The red-haired girl immediately exhaled and put on a calm face.
"Akeno, report the situation here to the Gremory family." The girl said decisively, "Before giving specific instructions at home, send the emissaries out to investigate which suspicious people have come to Kouou Town recently."
"Yes, President."
The Yamato Nadeshiko-like girl agreed immediately.
"Yuto, kitten."
The red-haired girl spoke again.
"Yes, President."
“…President.”
The handsome man and the petite girl immediately agreed.
"Reduce your activities at night in the near future, and try to return to your residence before dark." The red-haired girl solemnly instructed the two people: "If you find anything unusual, don't act alone, remember to notify me as soon as possible, understand?"
""yes!""
The two of them agreed without hesitation.
Seeing this, the red-haired girl's expression relaxed, and when she was about to say something else, she heard a voice.
"President!" The girl who looked like a Yamato Nadeshiko noticed something, pointed to a place, and said, "Look there, there are footprints."
Hearing this, everyone, including the red-haired girl, was shocked and quickly turned their heads to look.
Sure enough, all three of them saw a row of footprints on the ground.
The footprints are not obvious and are extremely easy to be overlooked under the cover of darkness, and are not easy to detect even in the daytime.
But the four people present were not ordinary humans. They could see naturally even in the dark, and they could see as clearly as in the daytime. This row of footprints could not be hidden from their sight.
"Could it be the footprints left by the instigator?"
The handsome man said so.
“The taste of humans.”
The petite girl twitched her nose a few times and said this.
"Human?" The Yamato-Nadeshiko-like girl continued, "Then it is possible that he is the holder of the divine weapon."
Of course, it's just a possibility. We still need to investigate to find out the specific situation.
"Azuna, take a copy of the footprints, collect the scent, and have the familiars try to find it." The red-haired girl said decisively: "By the way, remember to remind Sona, don't let her accidentally step on a landmine."
Everyone nodded in agreement and began to work according to the red-haired girl's instructions.
The red-haired girl turned her head and continued to look at the deep pit. After a long time, she murmured.
"I hope nothing happens..."
…………
At the same time, in a dark corner of Juwang Town, Siegfried was holding up a palm-sized magic circle.
"...That's it. The other party hasn't accepted our invitation yet. I can only retreat first and observe in secret."
Siegfried's words were quickly responded to.
"Things have turned out like this..."
The voice came from the magic circle on Siegfried's palm. Although it was a little distorted, it could still be vaguely heard as the voice of a young man.
"He didn't use a magic weapon, which was beyond our expectations. We originally wanted to take this opportunity to see what his magic weapon was." The young man said, "But being able to cultivate fighting spirit is really a pleasant surprise. It seems that our evaluation of him should be raised a little. If possible, we should try to win him over."
"Is everything okay?" Siegfried asked. "He seems to know a lot about us. This should be impossible."
"Do you think he might have been pulled over by another force?" The young man knew what Siegfried meant and said, "It's not impossible, but if it's just a possibility, it doesn't mean we should just give up on him."
"Well, let's follow your idea and observe first."
"You can continue to stay there and find a chance to test him again and see if you can force him to use the magic weapon and find out his background."
"Understood." Siegfried nodded and said, "Then I will stay here for the time being."
"Remember to be careful." The young man warned: "That is the area where the current leader of the Gremory family is active. Although the other party is just a high-level demon, she has a terrifying brother behind her."
"I know." Siegfried shrugged and said, "I won't act rashly."
The conversation ended there, and the magic circle disappeared from Siegfried's palm.
Siegfried then raised his head, looked toward the horizon, and smiled and talked to himself.
"As a fellow escapee from the church, I hope you can make a choice that satisfies both parties."
"Aize..."
