Chapter.6 fall into one

Soon, Modesty led Bev out of the dark cave. The feeling of seeing the sun again made Modesti feel a long-lost comfort.

Bev used her gift to create a human-sized native of rock and dirt. The native lifted the cargo easily and followed behind the two. Because she had to take care of the goods, another female knight, Modesty, led the horse by the lead rope and walked quietly with Bev.

……

Back outside the city, it was getting dark, but both of them noticed the flames burning above the capital. The flames burned the black clouds red, and screams came and went in the city.

"It's an enemy attack!" Modesty said vigilantly, with her slender fingers resting between the sheath and the sheath, ready to meet the enemy at any time.

Bev nodded slightly, and then ordered the natives to hide outside the city with their goods. At the same time, she also led the frightened horse and hid as far away as possible. After completing this series of tasks, she returned to Modesty's side.

Gently pushing open the half-hidden door, a smell of burnt meat came. Paper windows, wooden doors, bricks and tiles, flames covered almost every building in the city, and there were many smoldering corpses in the firelight. Modesty raised her sword and turned over. Modesty could still recognize that it was a human corpse. Among the flames were the corpses of some short guys with huge ears and pointed eye sockets. There is no doubt that this is a first-order devil kid.

Although the fighting power of the little ghosts is low, even inferior to adult men, they are born in the void, and they breathe out the chaotic gas of another world. In a wood-dominated building complex like Amati, it is really difficult to ignite a flame. It couldn't be easier. What's more, their rough skin can withstand the short-term burning of the flames. When fighting in such a sea of ​​​​fire, the little ghosts have a natural advantage.

They can't even deal with ordinary little ghosts. If there is no gift, short-lived human beings are really pathetic creatures, Andy sighed in his heart. Thinking of this, she gently stroked her arm, and now she used the delicate body of this woman named Bev, the tender skin seemed to be broken by the wind. He couldn't help but think back to his past self. At that time, he could still take a bath in the lava of the Demon Realm, and the scorching temperature made him feel comfortable physically and mentally.

Modesty bit her lip, her firefly yellow eyes widened, and she said in a trembling and firm voice, "We must ensure the safety of Mrs. Oloni. Bev, come with me."

Pulling Bev, Modesty got into a dark alley beside her.

"Sister Modesty, where are we going?" Bev asked with a young girl's voice.

Although Andy has Beve's memory, she doesn't know what Modesty's plans are now.

"Master Knight Commander should be able to come back tonight. What we need to do is to protect Mrs. Oloni."

Knight commander? In Andy's memory emerged a figure of a woman with wheat-like dark skin, strong muscles, a slender body, and the iconic white hair.

Orthea, the strongest warrior in the capital city of Ammatia. He is also the leader of the Knights.

Although Bev has only recently joined the Knights Order as an apprentice knight specializing in magic, she has long been known for the famous female knight in the expedition.

The pure fifth-order physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary people, and the mysterious [Gift] ability is even more powerful. The status of the strongest in the capital city of Ortheya Anmat is worthy of the name.

Thinking about it this way, even that annoying succubus is far from being a match for this woman. After all, that succubus was only at the fourth level.

Just as Andy recalled, Modesty, who was pulling her away, stopped suddenly.

"What's the matter, Sister Modesty?" Bev asked.

Modesty didn't reply, but just stared ahead silently. Bev followed her gaze, and there was only a deep darkness ahead. But soon, something seemed to have changed. She heard the rustling sound, the crackling sound of the roof tiles—as if something was jumping up and down on it.

"Bev, don't make a sound." Modesty finally replied, she comforted with a soft voice, "It's okay, I'm here."

"Hmm..." Bev nodded slightly.

Whether it's Andy himself or Bev's leather jacket, both of them have only second-level strength. It seems like a good idea to let this third-tier woman take the initiative to protect herself?

Thinking of this, Bev moved closer to Modesty, and they were close together. Through the clothes, she could feel Modesty's body temperature, which was the temperature that reassured the robbed body.

Suddenly, a pair of green eyes lit up in the darkness. Immediately afterwards, pairs of eyes lit up like fireflies, ready to move in the darkness. They stared at the two women in front of them, wishing to tear them to pieces.

"They're imps..." Bev whispered.

"Don't underestimate the enemy, Bev." Modesty replied, holding the weapon tighter in her hand.

Finally, the green eyes seemed to be unable to hold back anymore, and they swooped out of the darkness in groups like bats, attacking the two of them.

Modesty remained motionless, and her beautiful firefly-yellow eyes became more determined, as if they were about to catch fire. Holding the sword in her right hand, she drew several tracks in the air, and chanted: "God of Fire, please devour my enemies."

Groups of flames suddenly ignited in the air, intercepting all the little ghosts. This is Modesty's [Gift], which has the magical power to freely control the fire element. Even a female knight who focuses on tempering her body, supplemented by tempering her fighting spirit, and has never been exposed to magic, can use magic proficiently in battle as long as she is blessed with gifts.

Although the little devils are resistant to fire, when their short bodies are bombarded by high heat, they instantly turn into ashes. Flames made of magic are far stronger than those born naturally.

However, there are still many guys who are looking for ****, attacking from the dead corner of the flame barrier. Naturally, Modesty would not miss these fish fry. She waved lightly, and the blade of the sword ignited flames. The scorching temperature mixed with the powerful wind blade swirled out, easily cutting off the flesh of several little devils. The head then fell on the eaves, leaving a sword mark with embers.

This scene couldn't help but make Bev's mouth wide open. It turns out that this woman named Modesty is so powerful. At least... For her at the second level, she still doesn't have the ability to fight against so many enemies at the same time.

If Andy has the strength of the third level, then she will definitely consider the plan to betray Jill immediately.

"Bev, we should consider retreating."

Modesty's voice woke Bev up. She blinked and looked around, but she didn't expect that the number of little ghosts not only didn't decrease, but increased more and more. At the same time, from time to time, a green portal opened in the sky, and countless little ghosts poured down from the void at the other end. Some of them fell on the roof, and some fell into the flames, making painful wailing sounds.

But there is one thing that is not wrong, that is, Modesty cannot deal with so many brats together.

Should I kill this woman named Modesty, and then explain my true identity to Jill and these brats?

No...I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to explain why, and I'll be torn to pieces by these brats. What's more, this delicate body is no match for the woman in front of her.

All in all, give her a try first.

"Sister Modesty," Bev swallowed, "What... what should we do?"

"Ahead, there is a secret passage leading directly to the tower of the main building. As long as we pass through that wooden door, we can get close to Mrs. Auroni." Modesty lowered her voice, "I'm afraid the masters of these little ghosts are also aware of this, so that you They're stationed here to keep things out of the way."

"what should we do?"

"If my deduction is correct, all the little ghosts in the secret passage have already rushed out." Modesy raised her sword and cut the little ghosts falling from the eaves in half, saying, "In order to tear us apart, they have been waiting for us for a long time. It’s too late to rush out, so... the inside of the secret passage is empty and safe.”

"That is to say..." Bev seemed to have guessed Modesty's thoughts.

"Bev." Modesty squeezed Bev's soft little hand, "Rush over with me, hold on tight."

In the next moment, Modesty changed her defensive stance, and embraced Bev, who had been holding hands, into her arms, and rushed forward quickly, cutting off all obstacles in the way with the sword dyed with flames and transparent grudge. The flame danced like her hair, but it didn't hurt Bev in her arms.

Amid the roaring and tearing of the little devils, Modesty rushed into the dark door with Bev in her arms. After buckling the wooden strips and pushing the musty-smelling box to block the way they came, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.
