Divine Seal: Prism Simulation! Cai'er is addicted!

After saying goodbye to her loved ones, Saint Cher asked to see the sights of the holy city one last time with you. You agreed, and you began a nighttime tour of the city.

[Due to some rules of the Assassin's Guild, the last time you went out late at night was several years ago. At that time, Cai'er seemed to be staying at your house.]

【the next day.】

[The first-class demon hunter team is assembling.]

Team leader Gao Yingjie didn't seem to be in good condition. After yesterday's event, it took him a full three hours to force out the dark element that Cai'er had left in his body.

As a seventh-tier mithril knight, he hadn't suffered such a setback in a long time.

The group boarded an airship at the front lines of the Demon Exorcism Pass. After several days of rapid travel, the various demon-hunting teams arrived at their final trial ground: the front lines of the Demon Exorcism Pass.

Various flying demons appeared in the sky, while the demons on the ground also eyed their prey with predatory intent.

The first trial has begun.

[After issuing the first order, informing them that they must arrive at the Exorcism Pass in one day, Gao Yingjie donned the only magical item on the airship and, under the watchful eyes of everyone, jumped off the airship and sped towards the Exorcism Pass!]

The airship's magical protection also vanished, as if it were all intentional.

In an instant, the demons in the air began attacking all the demon hunters on the airship. Your teammates were asking you, the captain, what to do.

The number of demons in the air was countless, and their only means of attacking the air was the wide-range attacks of the mages in the party. At this moment, Cai'er took the lead and rushed to the airship, with you following closely behind.

[You two exchange a glance, and simultaneously create shadow clones. However, before that, you must first use the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique.]

[Cai'er only learned the basic assassin skill, Shadow Clone. She only has one clone, and it's extremely weak compared to her main body, unable to last long. It's fundamentally different from yours.]

The people inside the airship were also using their limited ranged abilities to wage a war of attrition.

The flying demons appearing in the air are not strong; they are mostly third-tier flying demons, with a small number of fourth-tier demons mixed in. Their sheer numbers make them difficult to deal with.

【boom!】

Many of the airships around us were already engulfed in flames under the demons' attack.

[After failing to subdue the humans inside the airship, the flying demons hatched a wicked plan and instead attacked their magical airship.]

[Upon landing, Long Haochen and his group, following their leader's instructions, prepared to head towards the Demon Exorcism Pass not far ahead. However, they still needed to traverse the Misty Forest, which proved to be the more challenging crisis they faced.]

While everyone else was moving on the ground, your airship remained standing tall in the sky.

"Who is that?" Yang Wenzhao on the ground couldn't help but exclaim. "The marker is number one; it's his team."

[Your clones come in handy now; clones aren't afraid of fighting a battle of numbers.]

[Your nine clones form a comprehensive protective formation above the airship. If a demon appears, kill it immediately.]

After hundreds of demons died, their attacks gradually slowed down, or even disappeared. Fearing death, they understood that going forward would only increase casualties, so it was better to go to the surface and hunt down other demon-hunting teams.

Seeing the demons dissipate, Saint Cai'er returned to the airship, while you remained aboard to maintain the protective array of your clone.

The other crew members inside the airship watched the other contestants on the ground. Wang Yuanyuan couldn't help but smile. "It really comes down to the captain. Concealment combined with a stab attack—even demons would be afraid of being ambushed!"

"Fortunately, the captain isn't as cunning as the other assassins, and neither is the vice-captain. Yesterday's attack was so powerful that even the team leader couldn't withstand it." Wang Yuanyuan had specifically followed Gao Yingjie for a while and discovered...

This is pretty bad!

[On your first mission, your demon-hunting team distanced themselves from the other teams. While the other demon-hunting teams were just entering the Misty Forest, you had already arrived outside the Demon Exorcism Pass.]

"That's strange, why aren't those demons attacking them?" Lin Xin, from Long Haochen's team, looked at the only airship in the sky, but the flying demons were coming up to their side, and couldn't help but complain.

Thirty minutes later, you completed the journey that other demon-hunting groups would have taken a whole day to traverse due to the terrain, and arrived outside the Demon Exorcism Pass.

[There are no more demons here. Return to the airship.]

The team members all speak highly of you.

The soldiers at Exorcism Pass were surprised to see normal airships appear. "That's strange. In previous years, these disposable items wouldn't have been able to fly over. And what about that nearly thousand demon flying groups? How did they get here?"

As the first team to arrive at the Exorcism Pass, and the only victor, the Exorcism Pass's Grand Master, Holy Spirit Heart, personally greeted you. Upon seeing Cai'er's face appear in the sky, he became even more excited.

"It's their team."

Just as Gao Yingjie arrived at the camp and was preparing to rest, he received a shout from the other leaders outside the tent: "Your team is remarkable. They faced over a thousand low-level demons for the first time and returned unscathed."

Gao Yingjie didn't believe it until the Holy Spirit's personal guards came to invite him. He stood up in disbelief, exclaiming, "What kind of monsters are these! I didn't go through this myself!"

[Because you were the first team, and arrived much earlier than the other teams, you received a reward from the Holy Spirit Heart Chief: a full 70,000 battle merits. Each of you will receive exactly 10,000 battle merits, which you can exchange for equipment and secret techniques at the Demon Hunter Tower in the future.]

[You'll receive a spirit weapon as soon as you arrive.]

[Your exorcism training has officially begun. Because you were a key member of the Assassin's Hall, you have been officially incorporated into the Heroic Hall as an apprentice member and become the leader of an assassin group, leading 500 assassins.]

[Participate in the defense of the exorcism pass.]

The autumn offensive is about to begin this year, and you are about to face the most difficult moment of the demon invasion.

The main group's training will take place tomorrow. Since you arrived earliest, you can familiarize yourselves with the exorcism dungeon's scenery beforehand, and then you will be assigned to your respective tents.

After the team disbanded, you and Cai'er went together to the assassin group you were assigned to. Because Cai'er was the vice-captain, and because she requested it, she became your second-in-command and went with you.

[Because the battlefield is a place where experience is valued, you and Cai'er chose the simplest and most direct method to gain the trust of all the assassins in order to integrate into the environment.]

Just like Saint Cai'er in the Holy City, becoming the leader of the Assassin's Guild, she displayed absolute strength.

The assassins stared at the two captains who had suddenly appeared, their figures resembling adults, yet still looking like children.

[The team the Holy Spirit Heart gave you is not weak. Among the hundreds of people, the weakest is a fourth-tier assassin, and there are six or seven fifth-tier assassins. As for the last vice-captain, he is a sixth-tier assassin who should have been the captain.]

All grudges were settled through a battle.

[You and Cai'er exchange a glance, then "Stealth," taking down the appearing fourth-tier assassin first. With your combined strength, you're basically capable of one-shotting them. After a series of cries of pain, you and Cai'er gain the approval of the ordinary group of assassins.]

However, they were surrounded by the remaining fifth and sixth-tier assassins...
