I don't want to be an elf!

"In fact, it is not Yuzuru who is fighting the Dark Demon now, but the Flame Spirit Kotori Itsuka." Yagura coughed twice and said, "The Flame Spirit is a sister who was born with us. When a crisis comes, we can summon her, but at a great cost."

"sisters......"

Machima nodded slightly, seemingly understanding her explanation.

In fact, this explanation was surprisingly easy for her to accept.

After all, as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, she also had three sisters in Hell who shared the same rank as her.

If the situations of Yamai Yuzuru and Yamai Yagura are similar to hers, does that mean that in addition to the wind spirit and the fire spirit, there are spirits that control other elements?

"Besides that fire spirit, how many sisters do you have?" Makima asked curiously. "Can you summon them too?"

“There are… um… eight more.” A bead of cold sweat appeared on Yagami’s forehead. “I do have the ability to summon them, but the price that both the summoner and the summoned must pay is very high, and only sisters who are close to me will accept the summoning.”

"I see."

Seeing that Makima nodded slightly, seemingly accepting the explanation, Yagami Yagami felt a little relieved.

She deliberately emphasized that summoning other spirits came at a high price, in order to create an atmosphere that summoning them was not something to be done casually.

After all, each time you transform into a different spirit, you have to use a trial ticket.

However, she wasn't always able to get the experience ticket for the corresponding elf to play.

After using Kotori Itsuka's trial ticket, she only had two trial tickets left: Kurumi Tokisaki's and Tohka Yatogami's Beast Form.

The remaining two tickets are worth far more than the Kotori Itsuka experience ticket, so it's impossible for her to waste them on proving that she does have the ability to summon other spirits just to cover up her lie.

"Now that you've come, you must have brought a way for everyone to go back!"

Whether Makima was doubting or processing the information she had just received was unclear, but Yamai Yakushi didn't intend to let her ask any more questions and directly changed the subject.

"Yes."

Machima nodded in approval.

"Alright, I'll bring Kotori over right now!"

Estimating that ten minutes would be up, Yagami used her spiritual power to fly towards the direction where the Dark Demon was fighting with Kotori Itsuka.

"However, the demons of darkness will likely follow us. We must prepare to leave Hell before we return!"

Chapter 45 One lie requires more lies to cover it up

When Yagyu returned to the battlefield, he found that the once peaceful and tranquil place had been turned into ruins.

The clash between the Dark Demon and the Flame Elf is a collision of two top-tier forces, whether in Hell or on Earth. Not to mention that they are both using all their strength to fight back, so the resulting destruction is not to be underestimated.

Not to mention that both are immortal monsters: one is a dark demon that can heal itself infinitely as long as it is in darkness, and the other is a fire spirit that can recover forever as long as it does not suffer instant death damage.

Their fighting showed no signs of abating; in fact, it became increasingly intense.

Kotori Itsuka's ruby-like eyes were now completely filled with crimson blood.

A furious roar erupted from its throat, its expression more ferocious than a demon's, completely devoid of reason.

"Hey! Can you still hear me?"

Yamai Yagyuuya kept a safe distance and called out to Itsuka Kotori.

But at this moment she was completely absorbed in the battle and paid no attention to the sounds coming from her.

Seeing this, Yagami's gaze darkened, and he sighed softly.

Having played the role of Kotori Itsuka, she naturally knows that Kotori Itsuka is the most easily out-of-control spirit.

Once too much spiritual energy is used, the incompletely refined spiritual crystals will begin to affect consciousness.

Although the battle had only lasted ten minutes, it was clear that the Dark Demon was not an enemy against whom one could deliberately hold back during the fight.

With her spiritual power fully unleashed, Kotori Itsuka's berserk state at this moment even surpasses her appearance during the final battle with Muzan Kibutsuji in the Demon Slayer world.

Even though the trial voucher still had twenty minutes left, she couldn't continue fighting.

If things really become indiscriminate, it won't end well.

With this thought in mind, Yagami Yagami directly manipulated the power of the wind, enveloping Kotori Itsuka, who was still in the midst of battle.

The Dark Demon had naturally sensed Yamai Yaguru's presence long ago. It originally thought that Yamai Yaguru would join the battle and fight alongside Itsuka Kotori, so it weakened its offensive momentum and switched to a passive defense.

However, Yamai Yagyu did not attack it. Instead, he entangled Itsuka Kotori and dragged her away despite her struggles.

The Dark Demons immediately realized that they were preparing to retreat.

So its true form merged back into the dark cloak, transforming into a pool of pure darkness as it gave chase.

"Machima is here! Time to call it a day and leave!"

Yamai Yakuya explained something to Itsuka Kotori, then started sprinting at full speed.

Upon seeing her, the red light shining in Kotori Itsuka's eyes finally showed signs of fading.

Although uncontrollable roars still emanated from her throat, she gradually restrained the spiritual power that she was releasing as if it were free, and stopped letting the spiritual crystals continue to affect her consciousness.

"Wake up! We need to go over our statements right now!"

While fleeing, Yamai Yagyuuya quickly spoke to Itsuka Kotori.

The reason she just gave to Machima was completely made up on the spot.

Makima will definitely ask more questions later, so Yamai Yakuya must explain the reasons she just made up to Itsuka Kotori as clearly as possible so that they can give the same answer when Makima asks her questions.

However, Kotori Itsuka did not show any reaction and remained in a berserk state.

Although I stopped using spiritual power, the accumulated negative emotions were not so easy to deal with quickly.

Clearly, Kotori Itsuka has not yet regained her ability to speak.

"Tsk."

Yakuya clicked his tongue.

But she couldn't afford to waste time, as the Dark Demon was chasing after her, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and head towards Machima.

With Yamai Yagyu's all-out escape, he soon shook off the Dark Demon chasing after him and returned to Machima's side.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the unfamiliar red-haired girl being dragged behind Yamai Yagyuu.

Although Yagami had just explained that the one fighting the Dark Demon was not Yuzuru Yagami, but another sister summoned by the Wind Spirit Yuzuru Yagami, the Flame Spirit Kotori Itsuka, she still couldn't help but feel surprised when she actually saw her.

Machima also has many inner problems.

However, she could also sense the aura of the Dark Demon rapidly pursuing them from afar, and knew that now was not the time to ask questions, so she immediately began to work on transferring everyone to the human world.

There is a contract between the demons of hell and the puppet demons, and it is because of this contract that the puppet demons were able to transfer Denji and his group to hell.

So all Machima needs to do is one thing.

The moment Yagami Yagami returned with Kotori Itsuka, Makima used her domination power to subdue a blond man who had been mingling in the crowd.

“Say it, I am willing to give up everything I have, in exchange please ask the demons of hell to transfer everyone here to the human world.”

The blond man's true identity is an exquisite doll of the Doll Demon.

As part of the puppet demon, he also has a pact with the demons of hell.

After being dominated, the man repeated Machima's words without any resistance.

The next moment, darkness descended.

A giant hand with six fingers appeared, enveloping everyone in its power.

After a few breaths, as the darkness faded, everyone returned to the human world.

Where they came from, they returned to.

Finally back in familiar Japan from a hell filled with malice and the unknown, Denji and his group breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, their eyes searched around, trying to find Yamai Yagyuu and Itsuka Kotori.

Everyone's expressions froze.

What about people?

Meanwhile, in Syria.

When Yagyuuya opened his eyes and found himself in the desert, he was also stunned for a moment.

But soon, a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Great! We've been teleported to a different place than Machima and the others!"

They originally thought the demons of hell would teleport them back to Tokyo as well, but unexpectedly they were teleported back to Syria.

That is the place where they were transported to Hell.

This is excellent news for Yamai Yagyuuya.

This way, she would have enough time to wait for Kotori Itsuka to regain her senses and to rehearse her statements together.

A few minutes later, the red light in Kotori Itsuka's eyes finally disappeared completely.

Seeing that she had regained her senses, Yagami immediately explained what had just happened.

After listening to her explanation, Kotori Itsuka's eyes twitched a few times.

"Itsuka Kotori was able to go toe-to-toe with the Dark Demon in such a short time, and the Yamai sisters' strength is top-notch even in the entire Hell. It's already strange that they're unknown," Itsuka Kotori sighed, rubbing her forehead. "And you even told her that you know eight other people who are just as awesome as us. Do you think that makes sense?"

"What could I do? I didn't have time to think about it at the time!"

"Well, what's done is done, there's no going back now, we can only try to salvage the situation."

Kotori Itsuka sighed.

"Since Makima isn't around, let's quickly fill in the gaps in the settings while we have the chance."

The Yamai sisters' overseas assignment has ended.
