Akara is a woman wearing a purple headscarf who looks very calm and calm - well, even when she sees Duanmu Huai, her expression doesn't change much.

"Hello, Iron Warrior, I am Akara, High Priestess of the Sisters of the Blind. Welcome to our camp."

As he spoke, Akara made a gesture to Duanmu Huai.

"But I'm afraid there are only these broken bricks and tiles here now."

"To be honest, I thought you would hide more secretly. Didn't I hear that demons have invaded your stronghold?"

"That's right."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Akara nodded.

"Yes, as you said, the great city guarded by our Sisters for generations has now fallen into the hands of the evil demon king Andariel. Not only that, she also transformed many sisters of the Sisters into slaves who obey her. The devils have become our enemies and used them to drive us out of our homes... It is shameful to say that the guardians of the Sisters are now either dead or living in the wilderness..."

Having said this, Akara smiled bitterly.

"Just like me."

"No need to say more polite words."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand.

"In short, we just need to kill that guy named Andariel. Where is your stronghold? I'll kill her now and that's it."

"This... is not that simple, this Iron Warrior."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's understatement, Akara's eyes twitched - he had seen such recklessness before, but never such a reckless one!

"Andariel is not an ordinary demon. She is the Queen of Pain, one of the four demon kings. She is very powerful. Although I can see that Iron Warrior, your strength must be extraordinary, but facing a big demon like Andariel, Please be patient, and... even if you defeat Andariel, we will not be able to recapture the stronghold for a while."

"Oh? What do you say?"

Duanmuhuai raised his eyebrows and looked at Akara, who was silent for a moment before speaking.

"What you may not know is that in fact, the entire Blood Wilderness is almost occupied by demons right now, and the evil power has desecrated this land. The demon army led by Andariel is certainly terrifying, but our biggest threat right now is From a former companion.”

"Please keep the story short."

If this were a game, Duanmu Huai would just skip and accept the mission. To put it bluntly, it’s not a question of where to go and how many to kill?

"Okay... To be honest, our Blind Sisters once had a very outstanding sister named Blood Raven. She was once an outstanding brave and hero, but when Andariel invaded the monastery, Blood Raven The sisters were defeated. Not only that, Andariel also used her cursed evil power to resurrect our once brave and loyal sister, making her her loyal subordinate..."

Having said this, Akara lowered his head.

"Right now, Blood Raven is using the evil power from Andariel to resurrect the sleeping corpses in the necropolis, in an attempt to create a terrifying undead army. Kasha sent several people to try to stop her, but they all failed. So... ………”

"So I just need to go to the necropolis and kill the Blood Crow, right? That's okay. Where is the necropolis?"

It's a lot of nonsense. In the final analysis, I'm not asked to be a thug. It's not that the game can't be skipped. It's really a headache to listen to the NPC going through the motions of releasing tasks and telling the plot.

"Leave the camp, follow the road, pass through the Blood Wilderness and arrive at the Cold Land, and you will find the necropolis."

"Okay, let's do that."

Duanmu Huai nodded, then picked up the war hammer and turned around to leave. Although he was not a speedrun player, he was too lazy to waste time on such a miscellaneous fish.

so……………

"Kitten, Mio, you two go kill that guy named Blood Crow."

After leaving the camp, Duanmuhuai decisively gave orders to Tacheng Kitty and Naruse Mio.

"You want me to go?"

"Nonsense, otherwise why would I bring you here? This is the job of the Tribunal. If you want to join the Tribunal, you must be mentally prepared."

Duanmuhuai glanced at Naruse Mio and curled his lips.

"Okay, let's go. With your strength, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with the things here."

"is teacher."

"...Okay, uncle."

At this moment, the Tacheng kitten naturally put on the power armor and nodded to Duanmuhuai. Naruse Mio also sighed helplessly, and then took out the staff.

Then the two of them walked one behind the other, following the muddy path in the direction Duanmuhuai said, and walked into the deserted wilderness.

The entire Blood Wasteland was dim. It was still daytime, but the surrounding area was as dark as night. Even the lights could illuminate a small area in front of you. Looking further into the distance, you could only see the endless darkness. . According to Akara, these are anomalies caused by the demon's blasphemous power polluting the area.

"This place feels really bad..."

Holding the staff tightly, Naruse Mio complained in a low voice. When Duanmu Huai took her flying in the sky just now, she only saw thick clouds, but she didn't expect that when she actually stepped here, she would find that this place had turned into something completely unimaginable.

It was dark all around, and even the scenery in the distance could not be seen clearly. The icy cold wind whistled across the wilderness, mixed with a touch of death and evil breath, and rushed towards them.

"Gah——Gahah——Gahah——!"

Suddenly, a series of shouts sounded, startling Naruse Mio.

"what?"

"It must be a bird..."

The Tacheng kitten stared ahead, holding a heavy hammer in his hand, and walked on the muddy road with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Of course, there is no such thing as a flat world in this medieval civilization. The Tacheng kitten is petite and light on the cement or asphalt road, but unfortunately the power armor is much heavier than her. It is a bit difficult to walk on such a muddy road.

"Quack quack!!"

However, at this moment, suddenly, another scream came. But this time the scream was closer and more urgent than the previous bird calls. The two of them turned their heads to look at the place where the sound came from, and couldn't help but be surprised. Not far away, they saw dozens of bright red, short monsters holding torches, swords and shields, rushing towards them!

"This is what the teacher said, the devil of this world!"

Holding the war hammer in his hand, Tacheng Koneko also looked serious, and Naruse Mio also raised the staff in her hand.

"The front is left to you, kitten!"

"give it to me!"

Tacheng Kitty replied, then raised his weapon and rushed towards the demons in front of him.

"Drink————!"

I have to admit that the way these demons are charging at them looks very nervous and scary, but when they actually fight, it is discovered that they are actually extremely fragile. As long as the Tacheng kitten waved the war hammer in his hand, he could easily knock them to the ground. Naruse Mio also took advantage of the gap to use normal attack magic to destroy the demons that tried to escape the kitten's attack range.

"Wow..."

Naruse Mio also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw another red demon being penetrated by magic and falling to the ground screaming.

"Really, it made me nervous for a while. I didn't expect it to be so weak. It doesn't look like it's that powerful."

At first, the sight of these dozens of demons charging at them was a bit scary, but after getting started, she realized that they were nothing more than vulnerable paper tigers, so Naruse Mio immediately relaxed her vigilance.

However, at this moment, something changed suddenly.

"——————!"

A faint light suddenly appeared, covering a demon that was beaten to death by Naruse Mio. The next moment, the demon that had been penetrated by magic and could no longer die unexpectedly turned over and resurrected with full blood. He grabbed the weapon and rushed towards them!

"Hey? What's going on? Didn't I kill it?"

Seeing the originally dead demon charging toward her in full force again, Naruse Mio was also startled, and hurriedly launched another attack - with a flash of magic beam, the demon fell to the ground again, motionless.

"————!"

But at this moment, another demon that had been killed before got up again, continued to scream strangely and rushed towards Naruse Mio.

"Wait, wait, what's going on? What's going on?!"

At this moment, Naruse Mio couldn't help but panic. The scene in front of her was really too difficult to understand. The demon that had been killed could actually be resurrected, and she didn't know the reason at all. Such a thing had never happened to Naruse Mio. Encountered it!

Just when Naruse Mio was at a loss for the demons that had resurrected from the dead, the Tacheng kittens over there were also in a hard fight - this was not to say that these demons could pose any threat to the Tacheng kittens, but because of her I also encountered the same situation as Mio Naruse!

The demon that was killed in front of you one second was resurrected the next second! Not only that, more and more demons gathered around. At first, Tacheng Kitty thought about using brute force to clean them up, but as the resurrected demons and the surrounding demons gathered more and more together, Tacheng Kitty was a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, she is not wearing an ordinary school uniform but a power armor. Otherwise, even if these demons were holding scraps of metal, they might have torn the kitten's clothes to pieces.

"What the hell is this!"

Realizing that she and others might have encountered completely unimaginable trouble, Naruse Mio quickly changed her tactics. She raised her staff and hit the ground hard. The next moment, I saw those demons flying up in shock, and then quickly falling back.

At this time, Tacheng Koneko, who was originally entangled by demons on the front line, also escaped smoothly and quickly joined Naruse Mio.

"Little kitten, let's go back. These demons are very strange. They can't be killed no matter what..."

Naruse Mio almost wanted to cry at this moment. She looked around uneasily - the originally dark and dim wilderness now looked more like she could not see her fingers, even if several people suddenly emerged from the left and right of her. The devil didn't seem surprised either.

"No, we can still fight!"

However, Tacheng Maomao shook his head.

"But those demons will be resurrected no matter how hard they are beaten..."

"I saw it."

However, at this moment, Tacheng Mao also spoke.

"see?"

"Yes, when you were shaking off the group of demons, Mio, I saw a few demons that were different from them further ahead. They were holding something like a staff in their hands, as if they were Spellcasting - I suspect they brought those demons back to life."

"In other words, just kill those demons who can cast spells?"

Hearing this, Naruse Mio was relieved, but soon frowned again.

"But there are so many demons in front of us now, we can't rush through them at all."

There were only a few dozen at first, but now, perhaps because they attracted the surrounding demons, there were already hundreds of demons blocking their way. Not to mention that it was dark all around. In this case, it was not easy to find those demons who could cast spells.

"Again!"

Koneko Tashiro does not have the mental manipulation ability like Maria, nor the spell-casting ability like Naruse Mio, Rias or Himejima Akeno. So for her, there is only one thing to do!

"I will attract the attention of those demons. You take the opportunity to go to the back, find those demons who cast spells, and kill them!"

After leaving these words, Tacheng Kitty stepped forward again and rushed directly into the group of demons!

"Ugh...okay!"

To be honest, Naruse Mio wanted to retreat now, but seeing that the Tashiro kitten had already rushed forward, she had no choice but to manipulate gravity to fly into the sky, and then quickly flew forward under the cover of darkness.

“Drink——ha!!!”

It was equally dim in the air, but luckily the noise caused by the kitten was loud enough, so Naruse Mio was able to lock her position. Looking from the air, you can see that the petite Tacheng kitten has been surrounded by these demons, but even so, she still wields the sledgehammer in her hand, desperately knocking down the enemies around her again and again.

"kitten……………"

Looking at the kitten in danger at this moment, Naruse Mio was also quite nervous, but she quickly concentrated and looked around.

"——————!"

Sure enough, at this moment, Naruse Mio saw a few faint lights suddenly appear behind the battlefield in the darkness, and then disappeared.

Is that what Koneko-san said, the devil that will resurrect the devil? !

Thinking of this, Naruse Mio did not hesitate and quickly accelerated and flew over!

In a moment, Naruse Mio came to the sky above the hillside behind the battlefield. Sure enough, she saw three demons holding staffs dancing hand and foot, muttering something in their mouths, and their staffs Above, bursts of light flashed through, obviously casting magic.

That's it!

At this moment, Naruse Mio raised her staff without hesitation and aimed at the target.

"rise!"

Following Mio Naruse's shout, the next moment the demons who were dancing below suddenly flew up and floated into the air. This sudden scene also surprised these demons. They danced and tried to struggle as if they were drowning. Unfortunately, at this time, Naruse Mio had already raised the staff again.

"Normal attack magic!"

“——————!!!”

Several white beams tore through the dark night and directly penetrated the bodies of the demon wizards. However, the demon wizards only struggled for a moment, and then turned into corpses and fell to the ground.

Just as the Tacheng kitten thought, after killing those demon wizards, the remaining demons no longer showed the ability to live and die, live and die, and live again. Soon, Tacheng Kitty cooperated with Naruse Mio to sweep them away and completely kill them all.

"Huh...huh..."

When the last demon fell, the two of them were sweating profusely and panting.

"I didn't expect that the demons in this world would be so troublesome..."

Naruse Mio couldn't help but sigh, and Tacheng Koneko also nodded.

"It seems we have to be careful."

While the two were resting, they did not notice that Duanmu Huai was standing there watching them beside a one-meter-high stone wall not far away.

"Well, good job."

Watching Tacheng Kitty and Naruse Mio hit the road again, Duanmuhuai nodded with satisfaction. Although he can also help, this is the task assigned to them by Duanmu Huai, and he also wants to see how the two of them perform when facing the real devil. From the current point of view--it should be no problem to give it a passing grade.

Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders, and then his tall figure disappeared into the shadow of the stone wall again.

Although the wall is only one meter high.
