Killing Demons

"Demons!"

Genao's expression changed drastically. After Reyferdi died, he mistakenly thought that the little girl who appeared was the result of seeing the Demons who had slaughtered the village die. He never expected that she was a Demons girl who had transformed into a human little girl.

The Demons girl, whose identity had been exposed, also reverted to her little girl form, gripping a dagger and attempting to attack Genao at close range. However, in an instant, she was cleaved in two by Genao, who had unfurled his Black-Gold Wings.

On the other side, Fern was engaged in a fierce battle with Demons dressed as Priest, unleashing a barrage of Normal Attack Magic. Frieren sat to the side, her large eyes blinking slightly, occasionally offering Fern's insights into the battle.

"Lady Frieren, the enemy is flying high in the sky, and there's a thick fog blocking their path, making it very difficult to attack."

Fern was casting Normal Attack Magic while communicating with Frieren.

She found the Priest- like Demons, who possessed rich combat experience, somewhat troublesome. The opponent seemed to anticipate her casting her Normal Attack Magic and disappear into the thick fog.

Several waves of corrosive fog swept in, Fern skillfully deployed Defensive Magic to block them. Frieren pondered this; she had also dealt with this tactic of Demons before, and her method then was to overwhelm them with Mana. However, Fern could not use that method to win now. Although she believed that Fern could win, it would not be by the amount of Mana. Fern would surely defeat her opponent using her most proficient area.

"Fern, everyone has their own unique way of dealing with this situation. Think about your strengths."

Frieren reminded her to speak up.

My strengths?

Fern blinked, silently chanting a few words to herself, and quickly dodged the attack from the Priest dressed as Demons. Fern's eyes lit up slightly; she noticed that the opponent would briefly interrupt the detection of Mana before each attack, obviously to better perform the attack.

Having learned about his opponent's weaknesses, Fern had already devised a plan: to use his own strengths to attack his opponent's weaknesses—this was the true way to win.

Within the thick fog, Fern briefly used Storm Magic to disperse the surrounding fog. Once visibility was restored, the Demons Priest immediately launched an attack spell. Fern was prepared for this sudden attack; she was well aware of the attack that would follow the dispersal of the fog.

Defensive Magic was activated instantly, blocking several Defensive Magic attacks. After deflecting all the attacking magic, Fern unleashed Extreme Long-Range Normal Attack Magic.

A powerful Normal Attack Magic swept towards the Priest Demons with unstoppable momentum. Faced with this sudden counterattack, the Priest Demons immediately deployed a magical defense. However, something unbelievable happened next: after this Normal Attack Magic, there was another Normal Attack Magic. In other words, the moment it finished its attack, the opponent unleashed two Normal Attack Magic with the same trajectory.

The magical defense shattered, successfully blocking the first Normal Attack Magic, but it was immediately followed by another attack spell with much less power.

The magic struck the very core, piercing a large hole in the chest of the Priest Demons. Flying high in the sky, it fell like a kite that had lost its wind.

"Wow, Fern."

Frieren gasped in surprise, never expecting Fern to use such a Mana technique, one of the strongest techniques exclusively belonging to the sixth magician.

"Phew... Lady Frieren, it's all thanks to good luck."

Fern breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't have much Mana left, and thankfully she was able to use this attack to kill the Demons in time.

"Fern, Frieren, have you resolved things on your end?"

In the thick fog, Methode exhaled a breath of stale air and stepped out with a hint of solemnity. As someone who studied the entirety of the Demons race, she had hundreds of ways to deal with Demons.

"Sigh, can those Demons still transform into human children?"

Back in the village, Fern opened her mouth slightly, unable to help but recall the phantoms of the Phantom Demon.

Genao looked somewhat disappointed. Upon witnessing the death of the Demon General Reyferdi and the sudden appearance of the little girl, he couldn't help but think of his former partner, who had died saving a child.

He involuntarily lowered his guard, which may also have been related to the attack by the Demon General Reyferdi. His head was buzzing at the time, and he felt dazed.

"Fern, I heard from Frieren that you single-handedly took down that very powerful Demons, right?"

Li Yan gently stroked Fern's head, feeling very gratified that Fern had single-handedly used Mana techniques to kill the Demons.

"Mmm, Godfather, that Demons is amazing! Like the Phantom Demon, it can summon a large fog that affects Mana detection and vision."

Fern squatted down slightly so that Li Yan could easily touch her head. Although her Godfather had shrunk, in her heart Godfather would always be the greatest and most generous.

"Wuhu, I want to go back and test this Egg Magic."

Frieren closed the Magic Tome, a hint of eagerness on her face.

"Then we should go too, Methode, Genao, see you next time."

Li Yan waved goodbye.

"Yes, yes, I'll miss you all, Frieren. Can I have a hug before I leave?"

"Sure."

Frieren blinked and nodded.

Methode opened her arms and pulled Frieren into her embrace. Frieren couldn't help but gently inhale the scent of her large, full breasts; it was a very fragrant aroma, as if she had returned to her mother's side.

"It smells so good."

Before Frieren could fully savor the moment, Li Yan pulled her out of his soft embrace. "Let's go, Junior Sister."

Okay.

Frieren waved goodbye and was led by Li Yan into the Spatial Gate.

Deep within the palace of the Lionheart King in the Royal Capital, several Lionheart Hidden Guards were reporting their latest intelligence gathering to the current Lionheart King.

"Your Majesty, the Alorath Kingdom and the Stella Kingdom are plotting to assassinate Serie, the president of the Magic Continent Association, and several powerful Nobles, in an attempt to weaken our nation's strength."

"Some of the magical assassins in the Stella Kingdom have already accepted the missions. Each of these assassins possesses mastery of assassination magic and a formidable physique."

"This is a list of important figures those assassins wanted to kill, which seems to include the patriarch's Junior Sister, Lady Frieren, and the patriarch's daughter, your ancestor, Lady Fern."

The Lionheart Hidden Guards reporting the intelligence spoke solemnly, causing the Lionheart King, who sat at his desk deep in thought, to frown. "Do they really think the Demons is an easy target? Launching such a childish assassination at this time, just to weaken our nation's strength?"
