Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

However, the reputation of the demon race was simply too terrifying.

Ryan didn't even dare to look at Hannah again.

They scrambled out of the church and chased after the departing hunters.

Hannah shrugged indifferently.

"Looks like I'll have to find a new identity to monitor these guys again."

"Unfortunately, I quite enjoy being a bard."

A hint of nostalgia flashed in her eyes.

"This reminds me of traveling around the border regions more than ten years ago."

"The days of singing my own poems."

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Rosa staggering out of the church.

Hannah and Gro exchanged a glance and nodded silently.

The two figures moved swiftly and silently followed.

Their tracking methods were extremely sophisticated.

Hannah did not cling to it, but occasionally fluttered her bat wings slightly.

It emits faint sound waves beyond the range of human hearing.

The sound waves swept across the ruins, accurately relaying any movement ahead.

Gross, on the other hand, is more like a shadow.

Footsteps fell almost silently on the gravel and decaying leaves.

Every turn and pause is naturally concealed by the building's shadow.

Their experience is frighteningly extensive.

Rosa was heading in the same direction Ryan had fled.

Her eyes were bloodshot, her breathing was heavy, but her steps were unusually resolute.

His right hand remained firmly pressed against an inconspicuous leather box at his waist.

The box was about the size of a palm and was completely black.

The surface is etched with dense silver runes.

It's a weapon exclusive to Witchers, the Black Box Crossbow.

Not far behind, Gro lowered his voice and analyzed:

"She's trying to steal the guide."

"Without the dying clearing the way, she simply couldn't survive in the fog."

"The spirits within the demonic mist will tear her apart."

Upon hearing the mention of the Demon God's Mysterious Mist, Hannah scoffed.

His smile carried an undisguised sarcasm.

"You mean those 'heroes' who kept rushing in, trying to storm the Demon God's fortress?"

"If only I had known, in this remote Blackwater Corridor..."

"These bounty hunters they look down on..."

She paused, a hint of mockery flashing in her blood-red eyes.

"We deciphered the so-called Demon God's Mysterious Mist ten years ago."

"They can even come and go freely with the help of a 'guide'..."

"What kind of expression will it have?"

Gro asked in a low voice, "Should we help her?"

Hannah nodded: "Of course I'll help."

"We need her to lead us to the city lord."

She changed the subject, a playful smile curving her lips.

His bloodshot eyes suddenly turned to one side—towards the terrace of the abandoned house.

She smiled and said, "But before that..."

"Let's first find out the little mouse that's following behind us."

Before she finished speaking, she stretched her neck, and her eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.

Gro asked, "Do you need any help?"

"There's no need to trouble the legendary knight."

Hannah chuckled softly, her bat wings fluttering slightly behind her.

"Just two little ones, all I need is... two paws."

On the terrace, Lin Gui, sitting sideways with his staff, had a furrowed brow.

The veiled robe in the dark... it's been exposed again?!

Before he could think it through, Hannah below had already moved.

The bat wings on her back suddenly trembled!

A short, sharp popping sound rang out in the air.

His entire body transformed into a dark red afterimage, soaring into the sky.

It moved so fast that it left a distorted trail in the field of vision.

She bent and straightened her right hand, and her fingernails instantly grew larger.

It transformed into five curved, jet-black claws that gleamed with a cold metallic sheen.

His bloodshot eyes locked onto the terrace, filled with the excitement of a hunt.

however--

She actually swept straight past the suspended ghost!

Claws, accompanied by a foul stench, viciously clawed at the empty stone railing of the terrace!

"Sizzle—!"

A piercing tearing sound exploded.

The once empty terrace suddenly experienced a violent fluctuation.

Two slender figures stumbled and fell into view!

It was Shea and Eve!

Shea reacted quickly, shoving Eve backward.

At the same time, he drew a dagger from his waist.

His emerald green eyes instantly turned blood red, and demonic energy erupted!

The dagger transformed into a dark red arc of light, meeting the five sharp claws.

"clang--!!!"

The deafening clang of metal clashing together was deafening.

The moment the black claws clashed with the dagger—

The violent aftershocks exploded in a ring shape!

"BOOM!!"

The roof of the entire terrace was blown off on the spot.

Gravel and debris rained down like a storm.

Shea felt an irresistible force coming from the dagger.

His hand split open, and the dagger flew out of his grasp.

She was thrown backwards like a kite with a broken string.

Hannah chased after Shia, who was flying backward.

The phantom claws coalesced once more, and the bat wings flapped violently.

In the blink of an eye, she caught up with Shia, who was still flying backwards in mid-air.

"Eavesdropping on people talking behind their backs—"

She grinned maliciously, her claws aimed straight for Shia's heart.

"That's very impolite, little girl."

Sharp claws sliced ​​through the air, and a foul stench filled the air.

Shea was suspended in mid-air with nowhere to grab onto, and it seemed there was no way to escape.

Just when Hannah thought victory was in the bag—

But then, the clever girl unexpectedly raised the corners of her mouth.

She neither protected vital organs nor blocked or parried.

Instead, he stretched out his chest, leaving his chest wide open.

At the same time, his right hand swiftly reached behind him—

He grasped the bow arm of the demigod's longbow.

Hannah's pupils contracted slightly.

Within her field of vision.

The white-haired elf actually managed to move several feet sideways in mid-air!

It's as if it's being lifted up by invisible wings.

A dangerous aura of demonic energy rapidly gathered on that exceptionally high-quality longbow.

Hannah's pupils contracted sharply, and she tried to dodge sideways with a rapid flap of her bat wings.

However, at that moment—

A cold and subtle magical energy burst forth around her without warning!

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught four jet-black magic rings.

It had already quietly taken shape beside her.

When was it?!

Her mind went blank.

From beginning to end, she didn't detect even the slightest sign of magic gathering!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"

A dark shadow suddenly rose from the circle!

Dozens of spikes made of pure shadow shot out.

They were not sharp enough to truly pierce her protective demonic aura.

But like countless cold vines, they entangled, hindered, and interfered with her every movement.

The rhythm of wing flapping was disrupted, and balance was lost instantly.

It was just a brief pause.

The demonic arrows on Shia's bowstring had reached their maximum concentration.

Her emerald eyes locked on him, and she loosened the strings.

A dark red streak of light shot through the sky!

It hit Hannah's body squarely.

Like a meteor falling to earth, rubble and dust exploded together.

Hannah coughed out a breath of stale air, and felt waves of numbness and tingling in her arms.

She propped herself up, her bat wings folding awkwardly, her eyes filled with a mixture of shock and anger.

Just as it was about to spread its wings and fight back—

A slightly cool touch silently pressed against her neck.

It was a badly worn dagger, yet it was shrouded in a dangerous, demonic aura.

The blade pressed against my skin, sending a distinct stinging sensation through me.

With just a gentle release, her throat could be severed.

If she is a class known for its defensive capabilities, such as a knight or warrior.

This stab might not be enough to kill her.

But unfortunately, the speed and claws she displayed...

It's clearly going for a high-attack, low-defense, and agile build.

The neck has always been the most fatal weakness.

Her movements froze, and her bloodshot eyes shifted slightly downwards.

He stared at the weapon so close to his face and suddenly laughed.

"There was actually one more person hiding, and we didn't find them. That's really impressive."

Her voice was hoarse, yet strangely relaxed.
