Frilian: Starting with Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow, Playing Through the Heavens

Although she knew that at such close range, even the strongest defensive magic would still be affected by the impact and would most likely result in injury.

But she had no other choice at that moment.

However, the next second.

Swish.

Celia felt herself lose her balance and suddenly take flight.

It turned out that Ronan had just used his X-ray vision to try and locate the demon.

Suddenly, he noticed something strange at Celia's feet.

—That was a "bomb" transformed from a demon.

To avoid spoiling his exploration, he instantly moved behind Celie, picked her up, and stomped down on her.

Vigorously miracle.

Boom!

A loud bang shook the entire ruins.

The monster instantly turned to ashes, and the power of the explosion was forcibly extinguished.

But at the same time, earthquake-like noises echoed continuously in the passageways of the ruins.

This kick shattered all the bluestone pavement within a radius of several hundred meters.

Even the unusually well-hidden "potato mines" on the road were shaken up.

They stared wide-eyed, looking completely bewildered.

--what happened?

Chapter 32, Section 33: The Hunt for the Hero

"What's going on!?"

A gasp of surprise instantly erupted among the crowd outside the ruins.

Everyone was caught off guard by this sudden earthquake.

They quickly reached out to steady themselves on the things around them, their fingers gripping the rocks and tree trunks tightly, before gradually calming down.

Earthquakes are rare in this world due to its stable geology.

Therefore, in their eyes, this sudden tremor was like a harbinger of the ruins collapsing.

Some people stared wide-eyed, their pupils reflecting the outline of the ruins, their hearts filled with both worry and a faint sense of anticipation.

However, things did not go as they had hoped.

When the earthquake subsided after only twenty-odd seconds, some people looked disappointed and scoffed.

—What a waste of time.

I was hoping to snag a bargain.

Because once the ruins collapse, all the monsters will be crushed to death, and they can earn money simply by digging without having to risk going deep inside.

Unfortunately, luck wasn't on their side this time.

What happened inside the ruins?

There's probably a powerful monster fighting the adventurers.

Since they didn't know the specifics, they could only guess.

In their view, only monsters could cause such a huge commotion.

……

Inside the ruins.

Celia looked around at her surroundings, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

The cracks all over the ground looked like the trampling of a giant dragon... No, even a giant dragon could not cause such terrifying destruction in an instant with its physical body.

The fact that a single step can trigger an earthquake is far beyond the capabilities of living beings.

She took a deep breath, her gaze wandering between the cracks, a turmoil rising within her.

At that moment, she was surprised to find herself being held in mid-air.

"!!"

The scene before her eyes made Celia's face darken instantly, and a sense of absurdity arose within her—was she being treated like a child?

Without hesitation, she turned swiftly and kicked Ronan hard.

boom.

A dull thud echoed through the ruins as Celia broke free from Ronan's grasp.

Her white skirt fluttered wildly in the air, and then she did a beautiful backflip, disappearing more than ten meters away.

A gentle breeze, carrying the scent of flowers, blew in as Ronan moved, leaving him somewhat puzzled.

What the heck is this "flying side kick"?

That was too reckless.

Despite their best efforts to warn them, dozens of unusually well-hidden monsters began to surround the area.

Seeing this, Ronan had no choice but to take action; he didn't want to be buried under the rubble.

then.

"rustle……"

The black ash, like snowflakes, flowed away and disappeared in a soft rustling sound.

The process unfolded very quickly; from the explosion to the complete annihilation of the monsters, it only took three seconds.

Seria had just come to her senses when she saw this, and the complaints that were about to come out of her mouth immediately choked back.

Even though she still harbored some resentment about what had just happened and wanted to question Ronan about why he had been so rude, she now understood the whole story.

"This guy... humph."

Celia took a deep breath, feeling extremely annoyed, but the facts were undeniable, and no matter how upset she was, she could only accept it.

She turned around silently and walked forward.

"Let's delve deeper."

There's no need to dwell on it anymore, because in any case, it was Ronan who saved him.

Although I am not afraid of the explosion, I am certain that I will be injured.

This outcome has now been avoided…

To be honest, she had very mixed feelings. After all, she loved fighting and hated heroes who could bring peace to the world.

We'll see.

In addition, the power Ronan had just displayed made her somewhat concerned.

She remembered those races that had disappeared in the age of myth, races that resembled humans.

Who knows...

……

Behind him, Ronan had no idea what Celia was thinking at that moment.

Seeing that the other person seemed angry, he couldn't help but shake his head.

She's so aloof.

He saved her, and didn't even say thank you.

Perhaps this is what it means to be an older elf, possessing one's own pride.

Put yourself in her shoes. If you were in her position and suddenly saved by a junior, you would definitely lose face.

Calling to Frilian, who was staring in disbelief beside him, Ronan continued deeper into the ruins.

He cleared and destroyed all the landmines along the way.

I have to admit, this X-ray vision is quite useful in this dim environment.

The green foreign object had nowhere to hide.

……

On the other side, in a dark corner, the demon felt the sudden tremor and its eyes widened in shock.

It carefully sensed the lingering aura of the dead soldiers and instantly realized that the first hurdle had already been overcome by those few reckless humans.

The demon gritted his teeth, feeling extremely displeased, yet also secretly admiring.

"Hmph, they're really impressive. I didn't expect that such a violent explosion wouldn't have caused them to lose a single one. It seems that humanity is far stronger than it used to be."

"However, your good luck ends here."

"Traps on the ground are easy to avoid, but what about boulders coming straight at you?"

"Get crushed to death."

The demon was full of confidence, knowing that the monsters it created weighed thousands of tons.

The accelerated head-on impact is no less than that of a meteorite falling, while its extremely high density ensures its hardness.

It is extremely difficult for magic to penetrate.

mere humans...

"Hmph." The demon chuckled coldly, his laughter echoing in the darkness, sounding particularly sinister and terrifying.

……

……

While the demons were carrying out their operations, the demons were also working closely on their plan to hunt down the heroes.
