Demon Mirajane Arrives!
Looking out at the Mengmeng sky, the young cultivator turned around and shifted his gaze to the empty bed opposite him.
"What's going on? Why hasn't the bishop returned yet?"
After this thought came to mind, the young cultivator felt even more frustrated, and as a result, he turned over in bed even more frequently.
"No!"
I have to go check it out!
Having made up his mind, the young monk dressed, picked up the oil lamp from the table, and walked outside.
"Whoosh"
Feeling the chill in the air, the young monk tightened his clothes with his hands, then quickly held his hands up to the oil lamp.
"Hiss~~"
After taking a deep breath, the young cultivator immediately quickened his pace.
"Creak!"
The young cultivator opened the door in front of him, then quickly slipped into the room and swiftly closed the door behind him.
Shaking his somewhat stiff body, the young cultivator picked up the oil lamp in his hand and looked around the hall.
"What happened? Where did the bishop go?"
"Buzz!"
The moment the young monk finished speaking, the statue above the church suddenly lit up with a bright light, enveloping the entire church in a dark purple hue.
"Um?"
"Da da"
"Da da"
As the young cultivator frowned and turned around, a series of heavy footsteps gradually approached, meeting his gaze.
"Who?"
"Da da"
"Da da"
The other party did not answer, but simply continued to approach the location methodically.
Just as the young cultivator was about to cry out for help, the person who made the footsteps came to him, and in an instant, all his thoughts vanished.
"Bishop???"
Hearing the young monk's exclamation, the bishop's withered skin twitched slightly, and he then waved to the young monk.
Although he felt something was amiss, the young monk still walked slowly toward the bishop.
"Bishop, what are you doing here? Why aren't you in your room resting?"
"Whoosh!"
The moment the young monk approached, the pale-faced bishop lunged at him.
"Call out!"
Upon seeing the bishop shed his human form and transform into a black demon, the wary young monk rolled backward.
"Splash!"
After leaping out of the window, the young cultivator fled towards the distant village without looking back.
Seeing the prize that was within his grasp slip away, the black demon roared to the sky in fury, and then began smashing things up in the hall. Having vented his anger, he finally turned back the way he came.
After scrambling into the village, the young cultivator quickly covered his mouth, which was about to shout, and then, after identifying the road, headed towards the center of the village.
"Knock knock"
"Knock knock"
Upon hearing the knocking, the person inside hurriedly dressed and ran towards the gate, shouting, "Who is it?"
"Village Chief, it's me!"
"Brother Green, is that you?"
"It is me!"
"Creak!"
After the door opened, the Village Chief asked in confusion, "Brother Green, what brings you here? And... what's wrong with your clothes...?"
"Village Chief, let me in first. This is not the place to talk."
"Oh oh oh!"
After being reminded by the cultivator, the Village Chief realized what was happening and, while nodding repeatedly, led the young cultivator into the room.
After the two were seated, the Village Chief asked again, "Brother Green, what exactly happened?"
Composing himself, the young monk said, "Village Chief, you don't know this, but a demon came to the village. The bishop has already been killed. If I hadn't run fast, I probably would have..."
Seeing the panicked young cultivator, the Village Chief said anxiously, "What... what should we do?"
"At this point, there is only one way!"
"What method?"
"You have gathered the villagers to defend the village, and I will immediately set off for the headquarters to request assistance."
"This... this..."
Seeing the Village Chief's pale face, Green said, "Village Chief, if you are afraid, you can issue a request and ask nearby mages to come and help!"
Hearing this, the Village Chief finally calmed down.
"Okay, okay! Let's do it this way!"
"Sister, what do you think a demon looks like?"
Hearing the question from the boy in front of her, the White-haired girl tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "What else can a demon look like? Of course, it's a blue-faced, fanged monster, utterly hideous!"
Before the boy could reply, another White-haired girl spoke up, "Sister, how do you know what a demon looks like?"
Upon hearing this, beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the older, White-haired girl.
"Yeah, Mira-sis has never even seen a demon, how would she know what it looks like? (Elfman)" (PS: Haha! Didn't expect that, did you? The Demon Mirajane has arrived!)
"Bang!"
After giving Elfman a Maruko with a wave of her hand, the White-haired girl raised her head and said, "Hmph! You're not me, how do you know I haven't seen a demon!"
"I wasn't the one who suspected you first, why are you hitting me!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The moment Elfman uttered his complaint, Mirajane, slightly embarrassed and angry, added two more Maruko.
"Hmph! Not only did he not admit his mistake, but he also tried to shift the blame to his sister. How pathetic!"
Hearing his sister's scolding, the white-haired boy raised his amoeba-shaped eyes, letting the rolling light within them shine directly at her beautiful face.
Seeing this, Mirajane's round little mouth instantly deflated.
"Alright, it's my fault. Let's eat!"
Having successfully escaped unscathed, Elfman and Lisanna exchanged a smile, then quickly took their seats and waited quietly for the meal to begin.
"Knock knock"
"Knock knock"
Just as the three siblings were enjoying breakfast, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
"Hurry up!"
"Hurry up, all of you!"
Attracted by the shouts outside the door, the three siblings stopped what they were doing and peered out the window.
Looking at the neatly dressed knights and all sorts of people outside, Elfman asked curiously, "Mira-sis, what are these people doing outside?"
After glancing at the people outside and recalling her memories, Mira replied, "They should be the mages recruited by the Village Chief, and the reinforcements that Brother Green brought from the church."
"Can they defeat the demons?" (Lisanna)
"Of course they can! Otherwise, why would the Village Chief have invited them over!" (Elfman)
Although Mira didn't think so in her heart, she had no choice but to nod in agreement in order to appease her younger siblings.
"Listen up, everyone! Our destination is the church outside the village. Let's go!"
With a loud shout from outside the door, the procession on the street gradually disappeared from the sight of the three siblings.
"Boom!"
"Splash!"
Affected by the loud noise outside the door, Elfman suddenly loosened his grip on the plate, and the disc split into several irregular fan shapes.
"Sister, I..."
Before he could explain, Mirajane dragged him and Lisanna out of the room.
"Run!"
"Run!"
Seeing the chaotic flow of people, the three siblings suddenly froze on the spot.
Just as they were about to be swept away by the turbulent current, Mirajane, realizing what had happened, stopped a villager and asked, "Brother, what's wrong? Why is everyone rushing out?"
The villagers who had been stopped steadied themselves and said, "The mages and knights have all been defeated, and they have angered the demon. Now that demon is slaughtering everyone in the village. You should all run for your lives!"
As they spoke, the villagers broke free from Mirajane's grasp and rejoined the surging crowd.
"Mira-sis, what do we do?" (Lisanna)
"Pack your things, let's hurry up and go!" (Mira)
"Um!"
After reaching an agreement, the three siblings immediately returned to their room to prepare for their escape.
"Whoosh!"
"Boom!"
Just as the three siblings left their home, a silver figure descended from the sky, completely blocking their path.
"Roar!"
While the three of them were still stunned, the culprit shouted and then quickly walked up to them.
Staring at the enormous black shadow shrouded in the sun, Elfman stammered, "A... demon!?"
"Heh! Kid, I'm not called a demon!"
"Whoosh!"
The moment the thunder roared above, a thick, long black shadow darted out from the side and swept the astonished white-haired boy high into the air.
"Elfman!"
"Brother Elfman!"
"Whoosh!"
Hearing the sharp screams from below, the dark figure shuddered, and then an even thinner, darker shadow swept horizontally towards the two people below.
"Bang! Bang!"
"Boom!"
After two impacts, a heavy thud was heard, and at the same time, a cry of alarm rose rapidly upwards.
"Mira-sis ~~"
"Hehe! Although you're both kids, you two are definitely more palatable!"
After speaking, the shadowy figure moved both hands toward its mouth.
"Damn it, let them go!"
After roaring, the White-haired girl struggled to her feet and charged at full speed towards the dark figure, swinging her fists.
"Bang!"
After Mira unleashed a powerful punch, channeling all her strength, into the opponent's body, the dark figure remained motionless, instantly making Mira sense something was amiss.
"Go!"
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
After kicking the troublesome guy away, the shadowy figure raised its hands again and fed the delicious food into its mouth.
"Call out!"
"Cough cough!"
"Pooh!"
After spitting out a large wad of phlegm, the shadowy figure moved the girl from his right hand to his left, then swung his right fist down at the panting man below.
"Boom!"
"Whoosh!"
As the heavy punch landed, a grayish-white rock flew through the smoke toward the dark figure.
"Call out!"
Just as the rock was about to kiss the shadowy figure's cheek, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the top of the figure's head, turning the rock into a pile of dust that drifted away with the wind.
