The girl slipped from the wall several meters high, sat down on the ground, and quickly got up again.
She moved her body, and was secretly glad in her heart - the food prepared by the "Lord of Light" for them contained the magical power of "Guardian", which absorbed most of the impact and fall she suffered. The remaining injuries, as well as those in her body,
Some of the disordered magic power was restored to its original state within one or two breaths by the body containing Edda's power.
However, this is the strength of the demon lord - she can't help but worry, even if it has not yet fully arrived, can Hart really have a way to solve it?
There is no point in thinking too much. The plan has been established and she must prioritize her tasks. The girl turned around and instantly constructed a secret technique in her hand to open the door outward. Then she spread her wings made of magic and rushed into the passage.
, and flew upwards along the spiral staircase.
The Balrog roared angrily, and the sound spanned most of the underground space, causing her eardrums to hurt.
"Damn maggots!" It spread its wings and its whole body was instantly ignited with flames. "Since you still dare to show up, don't expect to be as lucky as last time!"
Despite its heavy body, the Balrog flew much faster than the girl - it only took him less than twenty seconds to cross a distance of several hundred meters. It narrowed its eyes and stared at the girl who was trying to climb upwards, with a look in its pupils.
There was a flash of fire.
The girl screamed in surprise and fell suddenly. The Balrog flapped its wings and rushed towards her. He swung the sharp blade in his hand and cut her body into two pieces.
However, what flows out of the disconnected body is silver-white liquid. When it touches the air, it instantly turns into a pure white flash.
——It was a 'replica' she created using a bunch of grass from the realm of the Lord of Light, fused with her own blood. Her power was limited, and the replica she created did not have the human mind and could not be maintained.
It was too long, but it was enough to deceive the Balrog's perception.
The flash of light exploded in the narrow passage, as if it ignited a miniature sun. The Balrog was not afraid of high temperatures, but lacked enough resistance to strong light. It shook its head in pain, dancing into a whirlwind with long whips with sharp tips.
Xiao, smashed the handrail of the spiral staircase into pieces, but could not catch the trace of the girl.
Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent lost sight, she quickly flew to the top of the spiral staircase. The surrounding fire elements were no longer chaotic and disorderly, and she merged into it again, freeing herself from the threat of the Balrog.
At this point, her mission has been completed. Next, all she can do is trust others and pray that luck is on their side.
The Balrog cursed and followed closely. The bright light could only hinder its progress slightly and further angered it. It paused for a moment at the end of the corridor, seemingly looking for traces of the girl - but of course found nothing.
So it took big strides and ran along the straight corridor. Thousands of degrees of heat licked the walls of the passage, and the previously solidified rocks began to melt again, emitting a dim red light, as if announcing the arrival of the abyss.
.
Suddenly, it seemed to realize something and raised its head suddenly - unfortunately it was too late. The entire ceiling directly above it collapsed, and a granite slab weighing nearly a hundred tons hit the Balrog's head directly.
It accelerated forward and rushed forward. The sharp blade in its hand exploded with lightning, trying to chop the rock slab into pieces. However, the rock in front continued to collapse, eventually covering nearly half of the corridor. A heavy boulder hit its shoulder, knocking it down.
On the ground.
That was Alphonse's masterpiece. The machine man accurately calculated the time for the Balrog to pass through, and used the dissociation rays that corroded the rock to create this huge trap.
"Try this!...I'm not responsible if it doesn't taste good. I didn't make it anyway!"
A mess of bottles and cans fell from the sky, bursting into colorful flashes, ice crystals, thorns and strange mist. The attack potions that Yuffie and the others had found earlier were thrown down by Amberli, causing the Balrog to try to get up.
There was a moment of confusion.
The next moment, a shimmering gray air flow blew from the other end of the corridor, and the flames covering the body of the Balrog immediately dimmed a little.
"Good morning~" Lin stuck out her tongue at Balrog, "It's so hot, wouldn't it be nice to help you cool down?" After saying that, she took another breath and continued to spray the weakening magic breath towards
other side.
However, none of these were enough to truly threaten it. The Balrog climbed up from the pile of rocks, turned to the blond girl at the end of the corridor, raised his right arm, and in a low voice, recited the incantation from the abyss.
A violent whirlpool of magic rolled up in the air, and a powerful destructive spell quickly took shape at the Balrog's fingertips——
Six tentacles that looked like giant octopuses protruded from the huge 'hole' above the head and wrapped around the Balrog's body like lightning. The thousands of degrees of high temperature caused the tentacles to immediately turn red and ignite with flames, but they were far tougher than they looked.
Much more, it neither turns into coke and breaks, nor loses its ability to move.
The Balrog had to stop casting spells and swung the sharp blade in his hand towards the tentacles. It cut off two of them, but threw the remaining four upwards, passing through the 'holes' in the two-story ceiling one after another, and landed on the ground.
In a spacious room.
The tentacle quickly retracted. A light blue force field wall emerged out of thin air, sealing the hole it had just passed through.
Directly below where the Balrog could not see, a complex and unusual magic circle was drawn on the ceiling. Yudina was reciting a lengthy incantation, while Eskar carefully placed six glowing emerald-green magic circles.
The blades' are placed throughout the array in order.
The slight tremor from the space seemed to make Balrog feel a little bad. He subconsciously raised his hand and used the teleportation spell he was good at, but it had no effect.
——It probably forgot in its haste that as early as twenty years ago, the connection between this continent and the star realm was interrupted.
"Asshole... just wait for me...!"
There was a flash of green light, and the entire space folded. The room where the Balrog was, and its last roar, completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
Yuffie, who was hiding and observing, and everyone in the exploration team breathed a sigh of relief. They returned to the palace on the ground and rested for a while in a relatively quiet room.
The whole process was actually by no means easy. She, who was tasked with luring the enemy, and Lily, who captured the Balrog and sent it to the predetermined location, both took considerable risks. Before the actual attempt, no one knew whether her clone could deceive the enemy.
Can Lin succeed in defeating the Balrog and attract its attention? Can the giant octopus transformed by Lily withstand its high temperature?
Fortunately, everything is going well now.
She gently treated Lily's wounds. After returning to human form, the female mercenary's arms were still burnt black, and her left hand was severed from the elbow. Now Yuffie can regenerate her limbs, but the new arm needs
It will take a few days to adapt before you can move freely as usual.
