Can you withstand the power of this sword strike, which has been used twice in the game?

Earth and rocks rose from the ground, layer upon layer, enveloping Sephiroth and Sisley, quickly forming a space large enough for the two of them to move around in.

It doesn't tightly wrap them up, but rather allows them to sit, stand, or lie down inside.

The strength of the stone is directly related to Sephiroth's resilience, so unless a demon with a strength exceeding 30 is bored and smashing the stone repeatedly, it will not be destroyed.

At least for now, they are safe.

……

"who are you?"

The sound transmission magic sent the other person's voice into An's ears.

The black mist can block hearing, but it cannot block the sound produced by ba magic 2.

Unless the magic power contained in the black mist is greater than the magic power used for magical sound transmission.

However, this is almost impossible.

“Speak up, I can hear your voice now,” she continued.

"..."

Hearing the familiar yet unfamiliar voice, An Yi remained silent.

Ah... how many years has it been?

He felt he should remember his master's voice, and even thought he would never forget it.

But the truth is, he hasn't forgotten, but he's almost forgotten.

This is a sad thing.

But the owner of this voice will no longer live only in his own memory, which is something to be happy about!

“Although I don’t know where those bones came from, I can sense that you’re not a necromancer,” she said.

An Yi then remembered that he was still holding her hand.

Have I ever held her hand before?

Can not remember.

After all, a master and apprentice aren't best friends; they won't always be walking hand in hand.

“I am the one who came to save you,” An Yi said calmly. “I know you are Ireif of the Stormwind, one of the twelve royal attendants of the Elven race.”

I'm not the only one who wants to save you.

We are humans who want to defeat the demons.

We came to the Demon Realm to gather intelligence and learned that you are about to be escorted to this city.

For our mission to defeat the demons, your existence is a crucial asset, so we have chosen to save you.

"Human...?" Irene was also bewildered.

Human? How could that be?

Others might not be able to see An Yi's movements, but Irene could.

That's a speed that no human can achieve!

"I know I owe you a huge favor, but lying is still bad, you know."

"But since you want to hide your race, I won't ask any further," Elef said with a sigh.

“No, there are many other humans like me in the world. You’ll know once we escape from here and return to human territory,” An’i explained.

She's still the same as before.

Irene could only smile and say, "Fine, I'll believe you for now."

Let's just say that humans can evolve like demons.

Even though you already know me, it's still polite of me to reintroduce myself.

"I am Eref Milan of the Elf race, and you?"

"The Sword Hero, Anyi Karl."

"Sword Hero, what is that?"

"A swordsman, a very brave person."

"Hahaha... Such a brave person, this is the first time I've ever heard such a thing." Irene was amused.

“It seems you’re not worried that I’m an enemy,” Annie asked emotionlessly.

Irene shook her head: "I'm not worried."

What enemy would hold me so tightly, gripping my hand and talking to me for so long? ∞○〇′→wu^∷

Moreover, your hands have been getting warm since just now.

My heart was racing even before I saw my face. Maybe it wasn't love at first sight, but rather...

Are you happy?

You're not going to tell me you're happy because you're getting a reward, are you?

An Yi: "Yeah, I'm so happy to receive the reward."

"Haha, don't steal my words!"

"I suddenly want to ask, do we know each other?" Elaine laughed.

“I know you. I was the human child you saved thirty years ago,” Annie said.

Irene: "Thirty years ago? I was way away from here thirty years ago! Where would a human child come from in such a deep place as the Demon Realm!"

“Yes, I was just kidding,” Annie said.

“You’re really interesting!” Elaine chuckled.

She had a good impression of this intelligent being who called himself "human," even though he spoke without any emotion, his words always made her laugh.

Perhaps it's because we haven't communicated with the outside world for too long?

Having someone willing to talk to her made her feel a strange sense of closeness to that person.

Irene smiled: "Well then, very brave Mr. An Yi Karl, my magic was almost gone, but it has recovered a little now."

Next, I will remove this 'veil'.

Thank you so much for saving me, but you'll probably have to run far away on your own later.

Consider it repaying a favor; I'll hold off the demons so you can escape.

Did you use some secret technique to increase your speed just now?

With your magic power, you're probably no match for those demons.

Oh, not at all, it's still far from good enough.

If you don't try your best to escape, you'll die here.

I was originally going to be sent to the demon realm to be executed, but you saved my life.

Now, I will save your life too.

We're even now!

So run as fast as you can later!

"Isn't there a possibility that I can take you away at top speed?" Annie asked.

“…It’s no use.” Irene’s voice suddenly dropped to a much lower level. “There’s nowhere left for me to settle down in this world.”

Even if we escape, what's the point of surviving under the noses of the demons?

"Have you forgotten what I said at the beginning?" Annie asked again.

"In the beginning...?" Elef fell into thought.

An Yi waited quietly.

My mentor is always like that; he selectively ignores things that sound impractical.

Like an old-fashioned pedant, always trying to understand everything in the world using their own set of logic.

It's really nothing, after all, it's a very age-appropriate thing to do.

The good thing is that they don't deny the facts after learning them, and they are still willing to learn about new things.

Irene remembered: "You said you saved me to fight back against the demons, right?"

Well... to be honest, I don't really want to discourage you. Although you seem to have some strength, you're still a long way from being able to defeat the demons.

This is just a city on the edge of the demon realm. You have no idea how strong the demons inside are, so it's best to give up on this idea.

“Then let me tell you some important information,” Annie said.

"Speak," Elaine chuckled.

She used to say this all the time, but I never expected to hear it from someone else.

“I might be stronger than you think,” Annie said.

【Veil】 is a large-scale dark magic spell that can block the senses of living beings over a wide area.

Unless there is a complete magical overwhelm, even creatures with a certain level of magical power will be affected.

Airo, Hisslin, and even Lycorina, who has 5 magic points, were all affected.

That makes sense. Not only would the other party have to face an unknown enemy demon race, but they would also have to ensure that Irene cannot escape. They would definitely find a demon with very high magic power to cast the spell.

In fact, Elaine was also affected.

Even in their past lives, it was the same.

However, the wind can disperse this black fog.

Disruptive elements are precisely what wind excels at.

but……

“Keep this black mist; we need it more than the demons,” An Yi said.
