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

Fortunately, flying magic is now widespread.

Therefore, even if Aura uses flying magic to travel, she doesn't need to worry about her demon identity being exposed.

And so, thanks to their magic and speed, the two caught up with Simmel at the edge of a cliff a day later.

Simmel sensed something was wrong.

Escape... There's a cliff behind me. Rocks tumble into the abyss, their echoes barely audible.

Left with no other option, the two sides could only engage in a standoff.

……

"Ronan, come out quickly, there's a good show coming."

"I didn't expect this kid to have such backbone. Was this something you anticipated?"

As the four faced off, Vlamé quickly called Ronan out.

The previous decision to remain inactive was indeed correct; by waiting quietly, we can indeed see changes in the demon race.

From being initially passive to now being proactive, and it's not just a pretense.

The first signs of dependence have already appeared.

Ronan stepped out of the void, looked at the tense scene at the edge of the cliff, and nodded slightly:

"I guess so. After all, one of the conditions for becoming a hero is to have a competitive spirit."

"Only in this way can one continuously hone their swordsmanship and pursue a higher level."

"Therefore, it is understandable that Simmel ran away from home."

Do you think he'll go back?

Vlame's eyes were full of curiosity.

Even though she has lived for a thousand years and her personality has become much calmer, her love of gossip has not diminished at all.

Ronan smiled, but his gaze remained fixed on Simmel's performance, and he calmly asked in return:

“What do you think? If he obediently went back, he wouldn’t be Simmel.”

“Look, he challenged that dwarf…”

……

"Aize, I know you were sent by my father to take me back!"

"But my goal is to defeat the Demon King and help more people, not to stay at home, get married, and have children."

"so……"

Simmel slowly drew the sword from her waist and exhaled deeply.

Even if they didn't want to fight, they had no other choice at this moment.

His gaze was grave, his sword pointed at Aize, and he said in a deep voice:

"Let's have a fight. If I win, you'll join my team and come with me to defeat the Demon King."

“I know you are very powerful, but I haven’t wasted my time all these years.”

Helpless, Aize watched Simmel's tense posture and subconsciously gripped the axe behind his back.

Why are all the young people these days so rebellious, yet he can't find anything wrong with them?

Defeating the Demon King and helping more people—what a great and noble reason!

He couldn't help but sigh, his heart filled with emotion, then gestured for Aura to step back a little, and said loudly:

“Young man, confidence is certainly a good thing, but this axe of mine is not meant to be used as a decoration.”

"As a soldier, since you've said such a thing, you must be prepared to be injured."

“Your father is waiting for you, so I must wake you up here.”

Upon hearing this, Simmel lowered her breath, her eyes filled with confidence.

The sword of the hero in his hand gleamed in the sunlight.

"I can't ask for it."

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible pressure filled the surroundings, and a sudden gust of wind arose.

Immediately afterwards, Aize removed the axe, and the two figures vanished from their spot in an instant.

boom!

Rocks scattered across the ground, the fragments like sharp shrapnel, and even ancient trees not far away were sliced ​​off by invisible sword energy.

Upon seeing this, the monk Haita gasped and hastily dodged away, clutching the sacred text.

The two figures blurred into afterimages. For a moment, even Aura, who had already retreated, couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

—I can't see it clearly, it's so fast!

Is this what humanity is?

Chapters 280 and 281, Aura: I've become a mother?

The battle intensified, and Aura knew he was no match for them.

But at the same time, I wonder how Simmel became so powerful in just a few years?

He was able to fight a soldier who was over a hundred years old to a standstill.

Could it be that I've hit the jackpot?

The thought flashed through Aura's mind, and she couldn't help but gasp:

"Hiss... If he can really defeat the Demon King, then my position as a mage in the hero's party will be firmly established."

She had originally planned to run away because Simmel was too young.

But at this moment, as the battle progressed, her thoughts quietly changed.

Aura silently observed the battle, noticing that Simmel seemed to be gradually losing ground due to his lack of experience.

Seeing this, she didn't hesitate to secretly use magic to support Simmel.

However, Aize was incredibly experienced and astute.

Feeling the disharmony in my body.

Clang!

"Simmel, you really have a great teammate."

Azer parried the axe blade, barely managing to block Simmel's strike.

A biting wind blew in my face, making my cloak fly up.

He glanced instinctively in Aura's direction and sighed deeply.

“I originally thought she would be on my side, after all, she was entrusted by your father.”

"I never expected this... Never mind..."

"?"

Simmel frowned in confusion, not quite understanding what the dwarf meant.

She? Among the women present, it seems that Aura is the only one. Could it be that she did something?

Aura noticed the gaze as it fell in that direction and quickly turned her head away, pretending to be nonchalant.

She would never admit that she helped Simmel because she was worried that Azer would capture her and take her back.

The action was decisive, but Simmel still noticed it.

His eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up a little.

Thank you.

A warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew he was not fighting alone, so he fixed his gaze on Aize again and continued to engage in the battle.

Not long after.

Swish!

Several swift slashes tore Azer's cloak to shreds, and even shaved off a few strands of his beard.

Aize saw his body becoming increasingly out of control, but he couldn't expose it because Aura could cancel the magic effect at any time.

"bass--"

A few beads of blood appeared on her cheeks, and the invisible aftershocks of the sword energy smashed a three-meter-deep crater into the ground not far away.

Left with no other choice, he twitched his eyelids, put down his axe, and surrendered.

thump.

The axe blade slammed heavily into the ground. Aize shook his numb wrist and sighed with regret:

"...Is this the power of love? It really opens my eyes."

“I lost, Simmel. I won’t blame you for anything, after all, there’s a big age gap between us.”

Heaven knows what kind of psychological impact this "couple's doubles" had on this centenarian.

If the two of them are so in sync, why did they run away from the wedding?

He simply couldn't understand it.

However, he had come with a mission after all. He glanced at Aura, pondered for a moment, and continued:

"I can join your team and I will no longer stand in your way of realizing your dream."

"But I have only one request: bring Miss Aura along as well, which is also your father's wish."

"Simmel, you haven't forgotten that you and she are engaged, have you?"

"You just ran away like this, without any resolution. What will your parents think?"

Aize has no children, but he has adopted small animals and can roughly understand what it's like to be a parent.
