Arin and Mira dared not disturb Nima at the moment because the aura emanating from her body was unusual and seemed to be in a bad state, indicating that she was upset about what she had just seen. The woman thanked them, then Arin and Mira urged her to return to the village immediately and to be careful in the future.
As it would be dangerous for her to stay here, Nima and her two companions would fight the demons that had caused the surrounding area to be poisoned, killing the demons to their roots, they would kill them all until there was nothing left. After that incident, Nima kept her anger to herself only to unleash it on the demons. They immediately returned to their original goal, heading towards the center of the dark forest where the demons resided. The lesser demons began to intercept them in significant numbers, and a battle was inevitable for all of them. The clang of swords echoed incessantly as long as the demons remained.
"The Second Moon Sword Technique, Night Sky Light"
Wuuush…wussh..wuuush..
With swift and graceful movements, under the moonlight, her katana reflected the moonlight in all directions as Arin executed her technique. She looked enchanting as she slashed the demons using the diamond katana given by Nima.
Five demons died instantly in front of Arin. The blood of the demons splattered everywhere, while Arin, who had been focused on her technique, glanced at Nima teasingly, as if saying, "Come on, give it a try, I want to see it!"
"(I can almost read her mind from the look in her eyes. Damn, this woman is skilled and quite the maniac.)"
"The First Arrow Technique, Purifying Fire Arrow"
From behind us, Mira, at a considerable distance, shot her arrow, an aura arrow formed by her magic. The arrow shot was truly extraordinary, as fast as a bullet fired from a firearm. Moreover, with the fire magic she used, the arrows were surrounded by intense flames.
Even from afar, the heat of her arrows could be felt from our position. She looked graceful as she released those arrows.
"(Ah, so captivating...)"
It would be a good idea to invite her to join us in the future, especially since we don't have a long-range attacker like Mira.
"(I really want to...)"
We dealt with the demons that tried to obstruct us for now, so our path was temporarily safe from them. But it seemed that it would be difficult in the future because the deeper we ventured into the demon's stronghold, the tighter the security would be. This meant that there would be more demons there.
Whatever happens, we have no choice but to eradicate them all so that this territory can be inhabited by the elves again.
"It seems that things are settled here," Arin initiated a conversation in the midst of the silent, dark, and eerie situation.
"Let's continue further, Nima," Mira added, her face tense, just like Arin's.
Nima nodded in agreement.
We immediately plunged deeper into the forest and the demon's territory swiftly but still cautiously observing the surrounding environment. The inevitable battle inside grew as more and more demons appeared upon sensing our arrival.
Among them were some strong demons, perhaps akin to commanders if we were to rank them. Five of them attempted to confront us, but Mira was still far behind us, so her position went unnoticed.
"The Wind Bow Breath, Second Arrow Technique, Silent Arrows"
Wuuush…
From the considerable distance behind, Mira released her arrows, swift, powerful, and almost silent.
Duarrrr..
One of the demon commanders lost his head, crushed by Mira's arrow, reducing their numbers by one. So, Arin and I faced two demon commanders each. Mira continued to assist us from behind while dealing with other lesser demons.
Her attacks were unpredictable and silent. Her experience in archery seemed extraordinary. I was still amazed by her bow skills, knowing that whenever some demons tried to gang up on me and attack, they would suddenly drop dead from Mira's arrows, making me feel like the most watched human in the world. Hehe.
"Dealing with these small fry is already troublesome, and now the commanders are coming, annoying bastards!!" Nima expressed his frustration that he had been holding since they arrived because of the multitude of demons in the area.
"huh..huh..my breath is heavy because of their numbers, I've been moving too much, using up too much stamina," Arin looked worried about the upcoming battle.
Nima and Arin were separated quite far from each other as the demon commanders attacked them fiercely. They fought each on their own and couldn't assist each other.
"Damn, I'm separated from Arin, huuuuuuft."
"The Rainbow Breath, Fourth Sword of Light, Blazing Red Demon Blood"
Zraaaaash..
Zrash zrashh zrash zrash zrash….
His sword technique slaughtered dozens of weak demons surrounding him quickly and brutally. The slashing of blood-red blood was terrifying and formed an octagram, claiming many lives on the demon's side. After reducing the weaker demons, Nima immediately charged at the two demon commanders near him.
However, Nima's attack could be deflected by the demon commanders, and the two-on-one battle that ensued was intense. The two strong demons attacked Nima fiercely and ferociously. Their attacks were heavy and fast. Nima struggled to avoid and block their attacks. His arm was grazed by the commander's sword, but the injury was shallow. Thankfully.
In the midst of this unfavorable situation, Nima tried to find an opening and intended to change the direction of one of the demon's attacks with his technique.
However, it wasn't easy for him to remain focused and defend himself continuously while imagining Arin fighting alone. If he was struggling, then Arin would be in even worse situation fighting two commanders simultaneously. But in the middle of the fight, he realized something because Mira wasn't assisting him; it seemed like Mira was helping Arin on another front. With his mind slightly calmer, he began to refocus to find an opening and counter-attack the two demons. Nima used all means to deceive them, but the cooperation between the two demons was excellent, making it difficult for him to penetrate their defense.
But when the two demons attacked simultaneously, one of their attacks was successfully blocked by Nima, causing one of the demons to stagger momentarily.
"The Rainbow Breath, Fifth Sword of Light, Yellow Lightning"
With a super-fast technique among his other Rainbow Breath Sword techniques, he slashed one of the demons and separated them with a quick slash that looked like a flash. One of the demons that had staggered for a moment was injured, without giving the demon a chance, Nima immediately charged at him again swiftly and attacked him forcefully.
What will happen next?
