"Linie, did you sense anything?"
Inside a cave.
Solitär slowly opened her eyes.
She looked at Linie, who had just returned from outside, and asked.
"Lady Solitär..." Linie shook her head.
"All the magic users in the entire Forest have suppressed their mana fluctuations very low."
"I did manage to find a few female magic users..." "But besides one who was with Frieren before."
"I didn't find Übel."
The sky had already darkened.
Night had fallen.
This also meant that there was less than a day left to find Übel.
To be specific.
Time was very tight.
Otherwise, after the First Class Mage test ended.
If Übel left this Forest basin, Solitär would find it even harder to locate her.
"As expected..."
Solitär nodded without surprise.
After all, from the moment she heard that these magic users' goal was to capture the Meteor Iron Bird, she knew that it would likely be impossible to find Übel by sensing Magic.
"Sorry, Lady Solitär."
Linie lowered her head in shame.
Failure of a mission, for the Demon Race, was the most worrying thing second only to death.
Linie mistakenly thought that Solitär's calm demeanor was a declaration of her own death sentence.
"It's alright."
Solitär stood up.
She reached out to Linie.
Am I going to die!
Linie's small body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
As a result, Linie only felt a warm hand gently rubbing her head.
"Don't worry..." "I'm not like other Great Demons."
Solitär showed a gentle smile.
Then her gaze looked outside the cave.
Outside the cave, dozens of bird-shaped demons were gathered at this moment.
At this moment, they were squatting on tree trunks, tilting their heads, waiting for their "master's" command.
"Go."
Solitär's lips moved slightly.
In an instant, a black cloud rose in this dim world!
The overwhelming swarm of demons scattered, flying in all directions within the barrier!
"These demons..." Linie breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.
She hesitated before asking about the source of the demons.
"There are demons in this basin, and quite a few of them."
"Since that's the case, let's just use them for now."
Solitär explained with a smile.
Then she pulled Linie to the small bed she had carefully arranged in the cave and lay down.
"Let's rest well for a while first."
"And wait for news from the demons."
"Demons?"
In the Forest.
Yulian stared blankly at the Geisels flying rapidly overhead.
He was a bit confused.
Logically speaking, demons don't act collectively.
After all, whether it's for easier hunting or to prevent being wiped out by humans.
Acting alone is very advantageous.
And now, there were actually several demons flying so openly above his head!
You say there's no Demon Race controlling them from behind?
Yulian didn't believe it.
"Should I go look?"
Yulian hesitated a bit.
But then Yulian quickly shook his head.
He had finally managed to slack off for a while longer.
If he met other Demons again.
And was persuaded to return to the Demon Race, what excuse could he find?
He absolutely had to hide well!
He couldn't be discovered!
Yulian secretly made up his mind.
But even so.
Yulian couldn't help but wonder why there was Demon Race appearing here?
Barrier... Demon Race... magic users...
A flash of insight crossed Yulian's mind.
Could it be!
The Demon Race had taken some action he didn't know about?
And it was discovered by humans, who sent magic users to wipe out the Demon Race squad!
Yes.
It should just be a Demon squad.
After all, Yulian didn't think the Demon Race could reach here without a sound.
In that case, there would be no need for him, the Demon King, to appear.
The Demon Race would have already ruled the world.
"Let's go see."
He made a rough guess.
Yulian wasn't sure what the situation was.
He could only decide to follow the few Geisels from before to see what would happen.
And what the Demon Race behind the scenes was planning.
...
Under the tree hollow.
Kanne listened to the sound of rain coming from who knows where.
She suddenly woke up.
"Why is there the sound of rain?"
Kanne was wrapped in a blanket.
She reached out and felt outside the tree hollow.
"It's not raining though..."
Kanne frowned slightly.
She was a bit confused.
"Kanne..."
Lawine's muffled voice sounded.
Kanne looked over.
She saw Lawine sleeping soundly on her side at this moment.
Talking in her sleep.
"Honestly, why are you calling my name even in your sleep?"
Kanne's face couldn't help but turn slightly red.
But while complaining in her mouth.
Kanne still quietly came to Lawine's side and pulled up her blanket for her.
"How can you be so old and still like to kick off the blanket?"
Kanne stared at Lawine's beautiful face, lost in thought.
But when she came back to her senses, she suddenly turned her head away again.
Silently complaining.
"Still Frieren's sleep..." "Hmm?"
"Where's Frieren?"
Kanne turned her head and looked at where Frieren had been sleeping; there was only a small blanket casually thrown there.
Her eyes couldn't help but widen.
"Should I go look?"
Kanne pursed her lips.
She looked at Lawine again.
If it were Lawine, she definitely wouldn't ignore a companion who had disappeared!
Thinking this.
Kanne put the blanket from her body and covered Lawine with it.
She thought: Lawine, wait for me, I'll be right back.
Then, Kanne summoned her staff and walked towards the top of the nearby hillside.
It was at this moment.
After Kanne had gone far away.
A Geisel resembling a super-sized owl flapped its wings and came under the tree hollow.
[Female?]
[Magic?]
[Long hair?]
The Geisel tilted its head, looking at Lawine sleeping quietly under the tree hollow, and quickly made a judgment!
[The person we are mainly looking for!]
With this thought!
The Geisel no longer hesitated!
It slowly walked in front of Lawine, flapped its wings, and cast a sleep Magic.
Immediately, it extended its sharp claws, carefully picked up Lawine, and flew back in the direction it came from!
"Coo coo squawk coo coo squawk!!"
The excited sound of the Geisel echoed in the sky.
[Found her! Found her!]
"Is it a demon?"
At the top of the hillside.
Looking at the Geisel in the distance, flapping its large wings like a happy idiot.
Kanne couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
This demon is too stupid, isn't it?
It was at this moment!
A sound of tearing through the air suddenly came from behind Kanne!
Demon!
Kanne was immediately startled and quickly turned around, preparing to cast Magic!
"Rip!"
"Ah!"
The sound of tearing clothes and a girl's painful cry sounded simultaneously!
Too fast!
Even though Kanne knew the demon was attacking, she was simply no match for the demon's speed!
With just one strike, she was scratched on the arm by the demon and fiercely stepped on!
"Coo coo?"
[Doesn't seem quite right?]
Geisel Number Two looked at Kanne under its feet.
It tilted its head in confusion.
Its not-so-developed brain worked hard to think.
Finally, it came up with an answer!
Since it's not the one, let's just eat it!
