Demon King: Hero, don't run away!-Chapter 1276: Ulterior Motives

"It really is endless!"

The roar echoed through the forest as Aslit swung her long knife, several Wind Blades flicking from the blade, and blasting towards Iyas.

Kula Dorain leaped in front of the Wind Blades, his long knife danced through the air, blocking Aslit's attack.

"A trustworthy ally, someone you can entrust your back to.

You, who have been on the battlefield, don't understand?

During the confinement back then, didn't you reflect on anything?"

"What I think about is far more than you can imagine!"

Black currents surrounded Aslit's entire body, and in the blink of an eye, Aslit flew in front of Kula Dorain again, slashing at Kula Dorain with her long knife.

The sound of crashing blades echoed once more in the forest, Kula Dorain caught Kula Dorain's sharp blade,

"Everyone has their limitations.

When you realize your limitations, you should make more friends. When you encounter difficulties, reliable companions will help you overcome them.

All these years, in such an environment, haven't you made any friends? Haven't you found anyone worth entrusting your back to?"

Black currents were conducted again to Kula Dorain, and the wounds just healed by Iyas Holy Light were torn open in a blink, blood splattering.

"What I think about every day is how to become stronger! I don't have the time to do those boring things." Aslit sneered, "Companions? They're nothing but burdens!"

Black currents spread to Kula Dorain's feet, and the branch he stood on instantly collapsed, turning into countless fragments.

Kula Dorain fell towards the ground, Aslit fluttered her wings and hovered in mid-air, not pursuing the falling Kula Dorain.

Folding her wings, Aslit stepped on the trunk, using [Climbing] to stand vertically on the tree.

Suddenly, Aslit's figure disappeared; she used [Wind-breaking Flow. Wind-stepping].

She landed steadily on the ground, black currents eroding Kula Dorain's entire body, but he didn't pause a bit, similarly using [Wind-breaking Flow. Wind-stepping] to pursue Aslit. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

[Wind-breaking Flow. Wind-stepping] requires a landing point during movement. From the direction of slightly shaking leaves, Aslit attacked towards Iyas.

In that direction is also Akiha.

Akiha knows the skill Wind-breaking Flow very well; she also knows Aslit is attacking towards Iyas.

She placed her hand on her beloved knife, predicting Aslit's advancing range, Akiha instantly drew her knife and sheathed it, using [Wind-breaking Style. Secret Technique. Formless], countless sharp Sword Qi flew rapidly from the blade.

Unfortunately, for some reason, Akiha's action was a half-beat too slow, countless invisible Sword Qi chasing Aslit's tailwind, slicing countless green trunks, having no impact on Aslit's advance.

Akiha was shocked her attack would miss, then, biting her lip, filled with regret.

Aslit suddenly vanished, Iyas recalled encountering similar situations in the past, where Yang Yu took the initiative, fully using Aslit's skill traits to turn danger into safety.

The biggest skill trait of [Wind-breaking Flow. Wind-stepping] is that it can only move in a straight line.

Iyas made a decisive move, leaping down from the tree while drawing her Longbow, a Light Arrow forming in her hand.

Aslit's figure gradually appeared mid-air, Iyas continuously used [Hunter Mark], [Guaranteed Hit Arrow], [Gale Point Break], the shining Light Arrow pierced the long sky, silently vanished in mid-air.

The shining Light Arrow appeared, Aslit standing on a tree initiating [Rapid Evasion], but Aslit seemed like a magnet was attached to her body, her [Rapid Evasion] had no effect, Iyas' Light Arrow shifted directly towards her chest.

A black current surged from Aslit's chest, flowing towards the Light Arrow.

Light Arrow and black currents, one bright, one dark, collided, in a violent explosion, light and dark annihilated each other, disappearing completely.

Near the explosion, Aslit's body was blasted red, yet she chose to ignore the wound.

Aslit's true target was not Iyas, but further away... Bai Jin.

Using the impact of the explosion, Aslit spread her wings, darting out of the forest, flying towards the lake's center.

"Is Bai Jin her real target? Not me?"

Not hesitating to think more, Iyas drew another Light Arrow, aiming at Aslit.

However, a purple Black Magic exploded beside Iyas, a storm of energy swept over, Iyas rolled on the ground to dodge.

Looking up again, Aslit had darted out hundreds of meters, Iyas could only watch helplessly as Aslit charged towards Bai Jin.

In the darkness, a figure darted out, with black currents not yet dissipated on his body, Kula Dorain skimmed by Iyas' side. He stepped onto the wide lake, gliding on the surface, relentlessly pursuing Aslit.

Enchanting Demon's attacks were continuous, Bai Jin evaded while trying hard to weave Magic.

She was only minutes away from completing the Magic.

While dodging, Bai Jin noticed white smoke rising from the direction where Yang Yu was, Yang Yu had already begun to act.

Her gaze didn't linger on the white smoke for long, Bai Jin continued to focus on evading the impending attacks, completing her Magic.

But before she could finish the Magic, she saw Aslit flying over with unimaginable speed, the knife in her hand aimed at Bai Jin's chest.

Flitting past several Black Magic shots fired by the Enchanting Demon, Bai Jin realized more Enchanting Demons, like Aslit, darted out of the forest, attacking her.

The Enchanting Demon could not know what kind of Magic Bai Jin held in her hands, but they vaguely sensed a crisis!

Temporarily retracting the woven Magic, Bai Jin rapidly descended, hovering over the lake surface, quickly chanting Defense Magic.

"[Severe Cold Position]"

White Magic Array flashed before the Magic Wand, Bai Jin struck the Wand towards the lake surface, a pure white ice spread rapidly from the strike point, instantly freezing half of the lake.

Freezing the lake surface was just the beginning, Bai Jin continued casting Magic:

"[Arctic Ice Spikes]"

A pure white Magic Array generated at the tip of the Magic Wand, expanding along the ice surface, in the blink of an eye, countless giant ice spikes grew out from the ice surface.

This Magic not only targeted Aslit and the Enchanting Demons, it also enclosed Bai Jin in layers of Ice Cones.

All this ice was built using Bai Jin's Magic Power from her body, carrying a lot of her characteristic Magic Power.

The Enchanting Demon's Reconnaissance Magic Array found it hard to penetrate these layered Ice Cones.

Drawing her sword, Aslit's blade entwined with black currents, the black long knife carved a tunnel through countless Ice Cones, attacking towards Bai Jin's direction.

However, when Aslit reached the center of the Ice Cones created by Bai Jin, the center was unexpectedly empty, not a single person present.
