Chapter 30 The Invasion of the Devil 1

Me, Emilia and Laura went back to Laura and Luna's house after the game. I saw some people getting upset with us after defeating Evan and the others.

Some say we cheated, but others say Evan and others still need to practice.

"Master, which group do you think Evan and Rafael are better at?" ask Emilia.

"Honestly, Evan is still unreliable. He still thinks it's a game. While Rafael and the others still exaggerate the name of the hero."

"Then?"

"Sama-sama is not good, but in Rafael there is Marie who is already stronger than the others."

"Like that yeah. If I think Evan's group still has unstable emotions. So they are often rash in making decisions."

I think Emilia has grown a lot from what it used to be. He can now judge people's abilities well. He can also judge a person's emotions as well.

"Laura what about you?" ask Emilia.

"Before I answer I want to thank you for helping me defeat the Black Dragon and also Evan."

"Together," said Emilia.

"Then, I think I chose Evan's group from the characters. But if my powers choose Rafael. Right Emilia said, there's a stronger Marie there."

We walked with the crowd of people who came home from seeing the match earlier. Luna and her friends go to the guild to take missions.

I feel the atmosphere is now more peaceful since we defeated the Black Dragon.

When we got close, the alarm sounded. I and Emilia and Laura went to the city gate.

"It's impossible" Laura said in a panic.

"Why? What is impossible?" many confused.

"Nobody can break through the city's protectors except the dragon and the demon army" Laura replied.

"That means there is a possibility that demonic forces are attacking here" Emilia said.

Many people ran away in panic. I hope this is not an attack by the demon army. Evan and his group are not ready to face the demonic army and dragons for now.

We headed to the city gate along with some troops heading there. But we were stopped by some soldiers who were evacuating the population.

"Why did you go there?" ask a soldier.

I didn't answer as well as Emilia and Laura. If we answer it will be more complicated.

"Why are you quiet? There the demon army comes."

That's what we want to know. Now the stronger our reason for going to the gate. I activated Caleo so we could get past the soldier and get to the city gate faster.

We moved in the air so that nothing would stand in our way. From a distance I could see smoke coming from the gate.

"Ciel," said Laura.

"I knew. Maybe they've already broken through the gate."

"But what are they looking for in this town?" ask Emilia.

"Maybe the city's protective crystal. That crystal is what makes the city's protector" Laura replied.

When sudab was near, I heard the sound of a fight. It means they've entered the city. Inevitably we had to push them out of the city.

Their troops wore black robes and veils. In terms of strength the elf troops won but they were outnumbered and lacking coordination.

I prepared Gladio and Ignis. Emilia also took out both of her swords. While Laura gave it to me and Emilia Holy Protection.

I purposely went straight into the middle in order to cut them in half. The front will be against Emilia as well as the elf army.

Besides, my goal is to use Exitium to destroy the rear forces at once.

I started attacking them using Gladio to make space. The demon army I was facing was quite a lot, but they were not very strong.

Some of them shot fireballs, but I was protected by Laura's skill. The demon army that was fighting Emilia had turned around and attacked me.

Laura fired a Holy Ray to prevent the enemy from attacking me, but still there were also those who escaped her attack.

I shot Ignis to beat them. Once I felt there was enough space, I immediately used Exitium.

This is the first time I've used it. Then a magic circle appeared above my head and appeared a golden-coloured dragon. He then fires fire at the enemy.

At first I thought he would attack the back line, but it turns out the front line was also hit. Some of the elven troops fled after seeing the dragon. Same with the demon army.

They left the city. I can't find their leader here. I thought that this wasn't over and they were going to re-attack this town.

The dragon I summoned disappeared a moment later. Emilia and Laura ran towards me.

"Master, that one…?" ask Emilia.

"It's Exitium."

"But isn't that firing fire?" ask Laura.

"I don't know either, but that's what happens when I wear it. After I used it, it turned out to have to wait 15 minutes to use it again."

"That's for sure. Great skills must have cooldowns or fill times" Laura said.

"Is there an army of elves who saw me take out a dragon?"

"That can't be the master. They were blocked by the demon army. But if it's his dragon they must have seen it" replied Emilia.

I know that his dragon must also be visible because he is big and also flying. When we came back, we ran into Evan and his group. They came along with the elf army.

We just walked by as if there was nothing. I know they want to question us, but they seem scared.

We headed back to Laura's house to rest. On the road I heard that adventurers would also be put in place to guard the city gates temporarily.

This is gonna be a big help, I think. But why did no one come from adventurers other than the three of us. When I asked Laura, she replied that they were waiting for orders from the elf palace.

"So there's a chance Luna might be there too?" ask Emilia.

"certainly. Only B rankers and above received orders from the palace," explained Laura.

"We can't come. You'll be alone?" my many.

"No. I will definitely be assigned to help treat in the back. So you can come along too."

"But if it's really bad, Emilia and I will go forward" I said.

"That's true" continued Emilia.

"When it comes, I'll come with you too."

When we arrived, I immediately invited Emilia and Laura to have a brief discussion about the demon army.

I told you that the troops we were fighting were probably the weakest, given the absence of their elite troops. Besides that it was very easy. Emilia and Laura agreed.

So the point is that there is still the next attack that will have even greater power.
