I don't want to be an elf!

From the numerous wounds on his arms, wisps of eerie purple flames appeared.

The wound healed at a visible speed, and the twisted and deformed fingers quickly straightened again.

In just a few breaths, his arms, which had been rendered useless, were restored to their original state.

"Don't be so scared that you run away!"

As spiritual energy was poured in, the already massive axe-like Blazing Demon was engulfed by flames, causing the axe blade to expand several times over.

The Dark Demon's finger pointed at Kotori Itsuka, and the Dark Bell Blade on her head exuded a chilling aura.

The fire spirit and the dark demon roared simultaneously, and the giant axe and the longsword clashed in the blink of an eye.

Two completely different forces collided, producing a deafening explosion.

The powerful shockwave spread outwards, turning the lush green grassland into a battlefield half-corroded by darkness and half-scorched by flames.

Feeling the force of this impact, the demons who were rushing towards the place of origin all stopped in their tracks.

They were all drawn there by the Wind Demon's arrogant claim that he wanted to become the second Chainsaw Demon.

Unexpectedly, they sensed the aura of the Root Demon in the Land of Origin.

Could it be that the Root Demon, who is usually elusive and rarely seen, has also been angered by the Wind Demon's arrogant words and has personally stepped in to end this farce?

But who is the opponent in the battle against the Root Demon?

The aura was completely unfamiliar; they had never sensed it in hell before, and could only vaguely feel that it was related to flames.

But a powerful being like this, capable of fighting against the Root Demon, shouldn't remain unknown.

The demons looked at each other, wondering what had happened in the Land of Beginnings.

But whatever happened, that place is definitely not a place they are qualified to set foot in.

"Put us down! Yagyu! What are you doing?!"

"Yuzuru alone could never fight against that kind of demon! Are you crazy?!"

Just as Yamai Yuzuru transformed into Itsuka Kotori and fought against the Dark Demon, Yamai Kaguya had already brought the others to a place ten miles away.

However, Denji and Hayakawa Aki struggled to go back and help Yamai Yuzuru.

"You'll only be a hindrance if you go!"

Once they reached a safe distance, Yagami Yagami unceremoniously launched into a tirade of rebukes: "Do you all know Yuzuru's strength better than I do?"

"But!"

Just as Denji opened his mouth, about to say something, they heard an explosion coming from afar.

Everyone immediately turned to look in the direction they had fled.

"flame?"

Among the group, the strongest Wind Demon keenly sensed the aura mixed in with the shockwave and looked at Yamai Yagyuu: "Besides wind, can you also control the power of fire?"

“Yes, but at a great cost.” Yagami nodded. “In the end, we are wind spirits, and the wind is our power. If we hadn’t encountered the Dark Demon, Yuzuru wouldn’t have used that power.”

"So what exactly is the Wind Spirit?" the Wind Demon pressed.

"A wind spirit is a wind spirit! Can't you even understand that?"

Seeing that Yamai Yagyuuya showed a hint of displeasure, the Wind Demon had no choice but to shut his mouth.

He really can't understand it.

Not to mention him, even the others present, not even Machima herself, couldn't understand it.

However, this guy's power far surpassed its own, so the Wind Demon couldn't press it for answers.

Initially, it also planned to take revenge on the person who stole its name.

But after witnessing the opponent's strength in confronting the Root Demon head-on, those thoughts vanished instantly.

"Having used the power of fire, is Yuzuru confident she can defeat the Dark Demon?"

Upon hearing that the Yamai sisters had a backup plan, Denji's eyes lit up.

“I don’t know either; I’ve never seen the Root Demon before.”

Yagami shook his head.

The duration of the Itsuka Kotori experience ticket is only thirty minutes.

Even if darkness is countered by fire, and Kotori Itsuka can gain the upper hand for a while, she will be brought back to her original form when the time comes.

Although the probability of defeating the Dark Demon is not high, we can definitely stall it.

Within those thirty minutes, it was a battle between two immortal monsters, neither able to gain the upper hand.

But that's enough.

The random mission wasn't originally intended for them to defeat the Dark Demon; it was merely to buy time for Machima to come to their rescue.

"However, how can we explain the wind spirits' ability to wield the power of fire?"

Yagami sighed softly, thinking to himself with a slight headache.

“Machima is not easy to fool; we must come up with a reasonable explanation before she appears.”

Chapter 44 Yes, I have nine sisters.

five minutes ago.

Japan, Tokyo.

Sitting atop a mountain of corpses piled high with countless doll bodies, Machima gazed at the sky, her spiral pupils reflecting the azure blue.

But what she saw was not a clear blue sky, but a scene from hell.

Although she had made many preparations before the attack began.

But when the attack actually came, she underestimated her opponent and was outmaneuvered by Santa Claus.

No, Santa Claus is just a nickname. The real identity of this assassin from Germany is actually a puppet demon.

At this moment, through the vision of the demons she controlled in hell, she had seen through the puppet's entire plan.

"Not only did they sign a pact with the demons of hell, but they even found the demon of darkness."

From the perspective of the subjugated, Makima also saw the descending Dark Demon, her expression turning cold: "Trying to force me to save people? Looks like I've really been tricked this time."

The other two groups of assassins in this attack were both after the electricity.

Machima had assumed that the doll demon was the same.

Unexpectedly, the Puppet Demon's true purpose was to hand over the Electricity to the Dark Demon in exchange for the Dark Demon's power.

But Machima could not possibly stand by and watch the Chainsaw Man's power fall into the hands of the Dark Demon.

In this way, not only will her ambition to dominate the world be impossible to achieve, but she may even be directly destroyed by the puppet demon who has obtained the power of the dark demon.

However, if she chooses to go to hell to save people, then she must confront the root demon directly.

That's the most powerful demon in hell.

As rational as Machima is, she naturally knows that she has no chance of winning against an existence of this level.

Although Denji and his friends encountered the Yamai sisters, who had been sent to Hell even earlier, as soon as they were sent to Hell, Makima believed that even with their help, they had no chance of defeating the Dark Demon.

"Is this the only thing we can do...?"

Machima sighed and made up her mind.

In order to be able to come to the rescue when Denji is in danger, Makima placed a spider demon with teleportation ability by his side.

With a simple use of his abilities, the Spider Demon can summon Machima anytime, anywhere.

Just as he was about to contact the Spider Demon and summon her to Hell, she heard Yamai Yuzuru's declaration that she was prepared to cover their retreat.

Yagami Yagami agreed to the proposal without even hesitating, and the others fled as a whirlwind swept through the area.

This scene surprised Machima.

Because she knew the true relationship between Yamai Yuzuru and Yamai Yagura, they would rather die than see each other sacrifice themselves.

However, in the face of the powerful Dark Demon, Yamai Kaguya agreed to let Yamai Yuzuru stay behind alone to cover their retreat.

Could it be that they have absolute confidence that they can hold off the Dark Demon without dying? Are they hiding a trump card that even they themselves don't know about?

Upon considering this possibility, Machima temporarily abandoned her idea of ​​setting off immediately and continued to spy with great interest.

Her guess was soon confirmed.

"The power of fire?"

Hearing the conversations of the others, Machima raised an eyebrow and sent a message to the spider demon: "Prince, summon me."

"Yes."

In Hell, the spider demon, who had remained silent until now, immediately used its teleportation ability after receiving the order.

The next moment, Machima emerged from the spider demon's body.

Many people were startled by this scene and instinctively took a few steps back.

Guangxi and his group also became tense, their eyes fixed on Machima.

However, she didn't care about the gazes of others. As soon as she appeared, she looked in the direction where the Dark Demon and Kotori Itsuka were fighting.

"It truly is the power of fire..."

After personally sensing the aura from afar, Makima's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light as she looked at Yamai Yagyuu: "If I remember correctly, you and Yuzuru claimed to be wind spirits, right? Why is Yuzuru now using the power of fire to fight against the demon of darkness?"

Regarding this...

Yagami Yagami inwardly cried out in alarm and deliberately dragged out his words to buy time.

She hadn't expected Machima to arrive so quickly; she hadn't even thought of an excuse yet.

However, since she had already asked the question, hesitating for too long would surely arouse suspicion that she was lying, so Yamai Yakuya had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the reason that the product was only half-finished.
