Yingxue huddled in a corner alone, with a blank look in her red eyes. She looked at the dark and desolate sky outside the tower, where the condensed clouds looked like a crying face.

If you suffer from social phobia, you should usually be very resistant to crowded places. In crowded areas, even if you wear a red hood, you will subconsciously be nervous and depressed, and your face will turn pale.

But now, she has no other choice and must stay here. Even though there are people around her, except for a few friends she doesn't know well, many of them are unfamiliar faces. This makes Yingxue feel very scared and uncomfortable.

Here is a huge tower of Gildas, and it is also their last resting place. In this city attacked by terrifying creatures, this is the safest place.

A screaming demon soul flew past the window and was hit in the chest with a light arrow by the guarding wizard. He screamed and fell down.

Yingxue had seen this screaming demon soul before. In other words...she had seen it in life.

When I first came to Gildas, I had dinner with Alice and the others, and the waiter with the octopus on his head...the dwarf who smiled warmly at them a few days ago, was this one.

It has transformed into its former identity as an ugly man-eating monster.

How cruel. How cruel?

In the face of disaster, fragile lives withered like snowflakes. People who were torn into pieces, people who were scratched and infected, their bright red and warm blood, mixed with the despair of all life, flowed in the devastated city.

Even on the high towers, you can still smell the strong smell of rotting flesh and blood in the air.

Not everyone is so lucky to survive until now.

Even though everyone has a magic hat that can carry food and water with them, these resources will always run out. The reason why I can survive until now is because Alice and the president risked their lives to save them regardless of their own safety.

However, when those two kind and brave people were about to reach a safe place, they were captured by a huge black shadow.

At this time, life and death are still unknown.

Many people have never seen such a terrifying scene. Countless densely packed screaming demon souls are like jet-black waves, relentlessly attacking the defensive magic array of the tower. Every impact will make the people in the tower panic.

Feel the vibration of the giant tower.

Dust fell from the roof, making people feel at ease for a moment.

Yingxue had insomnia all day and night.

Thinking about whether Alice would come back, thinking about the terrible and desperate ending that she was about to face, and thinking about the famous mountains, rivers, and scenic spots that she had not yet visited, her eyes started to heat up uncontrollably.

Hot tears fell from the corners of his eyes, hitting his clothes and falling on the floor.

She bit her lip to suppress her cries, her shoulders trembling, like a wounded animal, curling up with all its strength.

It seems that by doing this, you can treat everything in front of you as a real and cruel dream. After waking up, you can welcome the bright spring light in the morning, bathe in the refreshing breeze and feel the beauty of time.

She fell asleep in a trance due to the shock of the giant tower being hit by the demon, and spent the night and day in a daze. Because no one was stable, there were thick shadows under her long eyelashes, her face was pale and haggard, and her eyes were hollow and lifeless.

How great would it be if the little lion was still there?

Yingxue hugged her knees tightly with both hands and unconsciously whispered what was in her heart. Her voice was as light and erratic as the willow stream.

I miss you!

Yingxue shouted loudly in her heart, but the reality was that she didn't feel comfortable shouting loudly in public at all.

Even if sometimes I feel so nervous that I want to scream, I grit my teeth and hold it back, not wanting to wake up people who are already mentally fragile. My nails dig deep into my flesh and I don't even notice.

Andrew came over and sat down next to Yingxue. When he noticed someone approaching him, the hooded girl shrank subconsciously, and the muscles on her shoulders and back tensed instantly.

He raised his slightly red and bloodshot eyes. When he noticed that it was someone he knew, the strong resistance in his heart finally subsided.

Andrew's mood was not much better, or he was very depressed and sad inside. He witnessed Alice and the president being arrested, but he was helpless. The strong self-blame was like a flood that drowned his warm beating heart.

.

If only I were stronger, I wouldn't have to watch my friends fall into danger one after another, and I would be helpless and just call out each other's names.

Alice's life or death is now uncertain, and Dolores is already in danger.

Although I often quarrel with that greedy and lazy little girl and dislike each other, when that vivid life disappears from my life and may never be seen again, I feel empty in my heart.

Yes, it seems like a piece is missing.

I always feel like something is missing.

"Do you think the little lion will come back to us?"

Unexpectedly, Yingxue, who has always disliked talking and is relatively reserved, would be the first to ask questions.

The hooded girl's watery and misty eyes gently looked out the window at the gray and pale sky and the low hanging clouds. The sound was like a wisp of smoke rising from a wooden house in a distant mountain range.

Sitting next to Ying Xue, Andrew leaned against the cold and hard wall. When sitting on the ground, he could clearly feel the shock of the tower being hit by the screaming demon soul. The hand on the ground moved, and then slowly

Hold tight:

"...I don't know." He heard his deep and hoarse voice, "But like you, I am looking forward to their return."

Hearing the suppressed cries of a first-year magic student, Andrew's shoulders trembled. He no longer leaned against the wall, sat upright, and looked through the window like Yingxue, looking at the bleak sky.

"Yingyuan went to support the adults. Instructor Ryan didn't survive to save us..."

Andrew's tone was as sleepy and tired as the dark color, and his eyes were black and blue. It was obvious that the life in the tower these days could not make him feel at ease.

While sleeping, I would suddenly wake up from nightmares.

When the leader Ryan was mentioned, both of their expressions became extremely heavy. Recalling that night, mentor Ryan stepped forward to stop the army of thousands of demon souls with one person's power.

Andrew's and Yingxue's eyes couldn't help but turn red. There was gratitude and full sadness in their eyes, as well as a bit of hidden fear...

Uncontrollable trembling at death, or at turning into a monster, or at the thick and deep night.

Mei Paulins saw the two companions huddled in the corner from a distance, and an inaudible sigh escaped from her mouth. Ever since she came to the tower, her heart has been oppressed by various negative emotions.

It was like a small mountain pressing down on my head, heavy and heavy.

Because my body is weak, I always feel like my head is heavy and heavy, and there is no comfortable place anywhere in my body.

Her face was extremely pale, she took out a bottle of light blue potion from her sleeve, pulled off the wooden cap on the glass bottle, and drank half of the potion in one gulp.

After half a minute, there was finally some blood on the bloodless cheeks. Pauline clenched her right hand into a fist and put it against her chin, lowered her head and coughed twice, and her slightly dim eyes regained a brighter look.

As if she noticed something strange, Mei Paulins suddenly turned her head and looked through the window beside Yingyuan, who was assisting the magician in guarding the territory. Suddenly, a black shadow appeared, and the dark green bone claws were like poisonous sharp knives. In the afternoon

The cold light reflected in the sunlight.

Seeing that the poisonous claws were about to pierce the unconscious girl with twin tails, the wizards were too busy taking care of themselves to help the little wizard who was in danger.

"right!"

Pauline reacted quickly, her throat was unbearably itchy, she frowned her eyebrows as thin as willow leaves, and reminded loudly regardless of the situation.

Because the sound was so loud, the crying magic students and wizards who had consumed too much magic power could not help but turn their heads to look at Yingxue and Andrew. When they saw Yingyuan in danger, the frightened two subconsciously opened their mouths.

, eyes wide open.

The fear in my heart is like a huge wave, swallowing up the rock named hope!

Is another friend about to die at the hands of the screaming demon soul?

Under everyone's frightened and desperate gaze, the screaming demon soul that was about to touch Yingyuan suddenly stopped moving. A lightsaber with an astonishing momentum was like chasing the moon. A dazzling golden light bloomed, breaking through

Whistling in the air, the light-attribute arrow shot into the left temple of the screaming demon soul and shot out from the right temple, piercing the monster's brain on the way.

At an irresistible speed, it penetrated the head of the screaming demon soul.

Under the erosion of the light attribute magic, the screaming demon soul held its head with its claws. Before it could scream in pain, the whole head exploded instantly with a "bang" like a bomb. The body and the splashed brains turned into black particles and dissipated in the air.

...

What a quick shot!

Andrew and Yingxue couldn't help but stood up excitedly. They would never admit such special magic fluctuations.

It must be Alice who was captured by the huge black shadow!

"The little lion is back!"

I don't know who shouted. In the low and negative tower, the crying suddenly stopped, and everyone's eyes rose like the light of dawn, which was reinforcements.

The little lion who was rumored to have led the magical world out of darkness is not dead...she is really back!

Pauline's eyebrows, which were frowned due to physical discomfort, suddenly spread out when she saw three figures approaching from far outside the tower.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and there was a hint of relief and warmth in his smile.

Alice and Brenda walked out of thin air, while Angel flew behind with his sword.

The milk-splitting cat jumped on top of Alice's head, raised a paw and waved to the people on the tower, as if to say hello.

When the screaming demon soul noticed the outsider, it seemed as if it had taken a stimulant and had another shot of chicken blood. It formed an encircling force in mid-air and swarmed up like a black wasp!

It seems that they want to intercept these three uninvited guests who are blatant and unabashed.

The little blond witch was in mid-air, holding Willet in one hand, and holding a charcoal-black wooden stick like a fire stick in the other hand.

Facing the menacing and overwhelming screaming demon spirits, Alice's eyes were as bright as the summer sun, without any fear.

She raised the "fire stick" in her hand, and the top of the fire stick suddenly burst out with a dazzling golden light.

With her bright and smooth long hair fluttering in the wind, the nine-year-old girl here has become the focus of the audience.

Perhaps the light was too bright, forcing people who saw the light to squint their eyes and put their hands in front of their faces to relieve the pain in their eyes.

The golden light suddenly bloomed like a flower, and the black and massive army of demon souls was swallowed up by the golden magical light that was as brilliant as the scorching sun in a short period of less than three tenths of a second.
