The Little Girl 1

Seeing that Genao completely ignored him, Reyferdi asked with considerable displeasure, "You insignificant human, do you not have ears? Didn't you hear me tell you to state your name?"

Genao glanced expressionlessly at the Demons who had cruelly killed his partner, and asked Reyferdi with utter disdain, "When you're expelling pests, do you really announce your name one by one?"

Reyferdi's expression turned cold. Suppressing his anger at Genao comparing him to a pest, he slightly raised the tip of his sword. "What a twisted understanding. We can clearly communicate with words. If you don't want to talk, then let me drive away some pests myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Reyferdi could no longer contain his anger and thrust his longsword straight at Genao.

"You beat him up first, I'll help you later."

Li Yan, who wanted to see Genao's strength, stayed far away. If he wanted to make a move, Reyferdi wouldn't be able to withstand a single strike.

"Good."

Knowing Li Yan's strength, Genao nodded and immediately unleashed his magic to meet Reyferdi's attack. It was a black wing, the black wing shining with Mana, which collided with Reyferdi's longsword, and the two were evenly matched.

Four longswords attacked from one direction. Genao spread his Black-Gold Wings to defend against the four now-heavy swords. Although the wings blocked the attack, the powerful recoil sent Genao flying several meters away.

The blasted-back Genao, his face grim, brandished his Black-Gold Wings to counteract the recoil. It must be said, Reyferdi's strength was truly astonishing. With four heavy swords slashing down, Genao felt as if his body was almost knocked into the ground, like playing whack-a-mole.

"Whoosh!"

Several wind blades of magic struck Reyferdi, who was about to launch a surprise attack to finish him off, forcing him to abandon his offensive and defend against the incoming wind blades with his longsword.

Li Yan narrowed his eyes. He had hundreds of ways to kill Reyferdi when he revealed a weakness, but he didn't want to end the battle so easily.

"There's a chance!"

Genao swung his Black-Gold Wings and swiftly slashed out. The black and gold Mana slash slammed hard towards Reyferdi. Realizing that Genao had used all his strength in this attack, Reyferdi's face turned ugly as he raised four Mana Greatswords in front of him to block.

As the Black-Gold Wings clashed with the greatsword, a bead of sweat trickled down Reyferdi's face. His hasty defense against the all-out attack of Genao forced him back several steps.

"It's not over yet! Pests! Thousand Feathers Invasion!"

Genao's Black-Gold Wings suddenly unfurled, and countless black and gold feathers shot straight at Reyferdi. These feathers were powerful enough to pierce through a 30cm thick steel plate, but they only pierced Reyferdi's skin and stuck to his body, making him look like a cactus.

"How is this possible? Your physical defenses have actually reached this level."

Incredulity filled Genao's face. His usually calm eyes widened. This was supposed to be his hidden, deadly move, but now, even when he used it, it failed to kill the Demon General before him.

"Hey, don't get too excited yet."

Reyferdi's face showed pain. These seemingly small and soft black and gold feathers had actually pierced through his Mana defense. You must know that as Demon General, he had experienced countless wars and had developed a very strong physique.

Four muscular arms raised their longswords high, imbued with agile magic, and four attacks, carried by a gentle breeze, swiftly slashed towards Genao.

"My life is over!!"

Genao's eyes widened. His one-hit kill had failed, and he could no longer dodge the attack launched by Reyferdi. The slash, faster than the wind, was already upon him.

"Give me some face, and I'll spare his life."

A wicked smile appeared on Li Yan's lips. Spatial Movement from in front of Genao, and his Holy Sword was already unsheathed, blocking Reyferdi's simultaneous attack of four swords, a fourfold sword pressure powerful enough to split a mountain.

The four swords' attack landed squarely on the Holy Sword, unleashing a powerful burst of air pressure. The fierce attack sent Genao flying several meters. Reyferdi's four greatswords, wielding too much force, collided with the Holy Sword, producing a crisp, mournful sound. Under Reyferdi's watchful gaze, all four swords shattered simultaneously, leaving only their hilts standing alone in the wind.

"How is that possible!"

Reyferdi retreated in disbelief, but before he could take a few steps back, a breeze blew by. He touched his head in bewilderment and saw that his head had rolled over on the ground, and the place where his hand touched was empty.

"Ah!"

A clear, sweet little girl's voice rang out. In the corner of the dilapidated ruins, a simply dressed little girl stared in disbelief, muttering, "Lord Reyferdi is dead... killed by humans... how could this be..."

"Children? Children from this village? Survivors?"

Having narrowly escaped death, Genao gasped for breath and looked at the little girl dressed in tattered, simple clothes, his mind filled with all sorts of miraculous survival stories.

Reyferdi's death brought a huge sigh of relief to Genao. He exhaled a breath of stale air and looked in the direction of the little girl, asking, "Hey, how did you survive? Where were you hiding?"

Perhaps even Genao himself didn't know that after escaping death and witnessing the death of the Reyferdi Demon General, he mistook the little girl who appeared first for a survivor from the village.

"I..."

The little girl trembled as she clung to the wall, her face filled with fear. Clearly, she was too afraid to speak in this situation.

"It's alright, come here. I'm First-Class Mage, I came here specifically to rescue you."

Having narrowly escaped death, Genao felt a deep connection with the little girl and a sense of kindness welled up within him.

The little girl timidly approached Genao, and a rare gentleness appeared on Genao's face.

Li Yan blinked. Genao wasn't the kind of person who was gentle with children. Could it be that the Demon General Reyferdi had broken his head?

"Hey, Genao, don't you find it strange? Reyferdi isn't some merciful Demons. As a Demons general, how could he possibly leave behind a little girl? And how could a little girl possibly evade the detection of Demons Mana?"

Li Yan sat atop Reyferdi's vanished body, gazing with interest at Genao rarely showed such a gentle expression.

Upon hearing Li Yan's words, Genao, whose head had been damaged by Reyferdi, instantly regained his usual calm and swept his Mana Detection Magic spell towards the little girl.

The moment the Mana detection was activated, the little girl ran towards Genao a fraction faster.
