"This human girl... [Aspect of the Devil: Razor Claws]!"
Demiurge was surprised by Lakyus's display, but then he saw that after forcing back the Demon General of Greed, Lakyus flew directly towards him. He quickly activated a skill, turning his ten fingers into long sharp blades in preparation.
Unexpectedly, although Lakyus kept closing in, she did not forget her other abilities as a Divine Magic.
"Tenth Tier Magic: [Holy Judgment Cross]!"
Holy light condensed into a giant cross behind Demiurge. Under the effect of the skill's control, his hands were forced to spread horizontally, and his legs came together, like a crucified Jesus. Demiurge, sensing danger, did not stand still. He also activated a skill for defense, and a burning fire immediately covered his body. [Aspect of the Devil: Purgatorial Vestment]!"
His action was correct. In a time span of almost 0.1 seconds, the divine flame from [Holy Judgment Cross] ignited. Protected by [Aspect of the Devil: Purgatorial Vestment], the divine flame did not inflict much damage on him, and the restraining effect of [Holy Judgment Cross] was lifted.
However...
[Holy Sword: Demon Soul Cleave]!"
Lakyus had already rushed in front of him, raising her champion sword far above her head, with the phantom of a judgment angel appearing behind her.
[Aspect of the Devil: Physical Boost]!"
Demiurge quickly activated an enhancement skill, crossing his sharp spiked blades in front of himself to defend against the holy sword attack swung with full force by his enemy.
But to his dismay, even the spiked blades enhanced by the skill could not withstand Lakyus's attack. All ten of his claws were cleanly severed, and the holy sword sliced diagonally from his left shoulder to his right rib cage.
"Ugh..."
A large amount of blood spurted from Demiurge's chest. As he retreated, he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
It was unbelievable! During the last collective meeting in Nazarick, Shalltear reported that the captain of the Adamantite-ranked adventurers, Blue Roses, had a decent combat power, but was probably only around LV85 (Shalltear judged her by Yggdrasil standards).
Although she was not strong in individual ability, she should not be in this situation when fighting an LV85-tier magician. The only explanation was that, during this time, the enemy's combat power had increased significantly! His guess was correct. Previously, when Lakyus fought Shalltear in E-Rantel, she was only LV70. After this period of training, her level had reached LV88.
A series of 16 high-tier professions had made her a pure numerical panel comparable to any Guardian's combat-specialized profession in Nazarick, not to mention that she was also equipped with a full set of Divine artifacts and exclusive weapons for world champions.
"Pay the price for your sins!" Lakyus shouted coldly, gripping her sword and stepping forward.
Just then, Demiurge, while holding the wound on his chest, suddenly yelled, "Stop her!"
This was not a panicked shout, but a command-type skill. A strange fluctuation quickly spread, and two black shadows shot from the ground to the sky at extreme speed, blocking Demiurge's path. They were two of the Three Demon Generals—the Demon General of Greed and the Demon General of Wrath.
The Demon General of Greed held his scythe to force Lakyus to stop, while the one-armed Demon General of Wrath fearlessly advanced to engage Lakyus in close combat, refusing to retreat even as he was continuously wounded. The two demons tightly entangled her.
Taking this opportunity, Demiurge successfully landed on the ground. At this moment, the human magician from Zuranon, leading many high-tier Undead, also arrived. Demiurge was happy to see the sight and immediately ordered him, "You've arrived just in time! Control these Undead and help us kill this girl!"
"Yes, Lord Demiurge!"
The human magician didn't dare to disobey Demiurge's order and was about to command the Undead to attack. Just then, a sharp dagger plunged into his body from behind!
Ah!
The magician screamed miserably, his body uncontrollably spasming. He struggled to turn his head to see his attacker. A ninja girl, with her hair tied by a blue hair tie, was pressing one hand on his shoulder, her long, slender legs tightly intertwined around his arms and waist, cutting off any possibility of him using magic.
When!?
Demiurge almost instinctively distanced himself from the two of them, a hint of shock in his heart. He hadn't noticed the ninja girl's presence at all just now. If the enemy's target was him...
Not long after that thought emerged, Demiurge felt a sharp pain in his back. One of his demonic wings had been severed at the root with a single slash! Enduring the severe pain, he immediately swung his sharp nail blades to attack his assailant, but the other party skillfully jumped back, avoiding his attack.
Upon closer inspection, the girl was identical to the ninja who had just killed the magician. The only difference was that her hair tie was red.
They were Tia and Tina—the ninja twins from Blue Roses!
