Chapter 189 Fighting Demons (4)
Cecilia could see that the demons were prepared to face her, but she didn't back down at all when she saw this.
Instead, she just brought the strange looking sword in her hand up and prepared to swing down at them.
The demons were caught off guard when they saw that she was prepared to charge at them, but then they couldn't help revealing derisive sneers. It was almost like they thought that she was a fool.
That was normal since she was charging at a bunch of enemies that were prepared to ignore her.
Anyone normal would have thought that this was a foolish thing to do…but Cecilia was no fool.
The demons still had a sneer on their faces when Cecilia's strange sword came at them, but then…that smile disappeared without a trace.
When the strange looking sword slammed into them, they found that they weren't able to put up any resistance at all. It was as if instead of them being the wall, Cecilia was the wall and they were the egg being thrown at all.
The demons weren't able to resist even for a single second as they were blown away, creating a large hole in the line of the demons.
When the elves saw this, they immediately took advantage of this to shoot some arrows through the hole to hit the demons in the back.
These demons who had been gathering their mana for their spells didn't have any defenses, so they were shot down right away by these arrows.
At the same time, the sudden explosion that was the demons being blown away had caused the other demons preparing their spells to lose their concentration.
So in the end, there wasn't a single spell that was released at the humans and elves.
It wasn't just the demons that were shocked by the power that Cecilia showed, even the demon commander's jaw couldn't help dropping. This demon who prided himself in being cool and calm had let his emotions get the best of him.
After all, this was just too shocking!
No one would have expected Cecilia to have this kind of power.
And if she did, why didn't she use this power earlier when she was clashing with the demon commander?
The knights didn't waste the opening that Cecilia gave her and quickly surrounded her to create a hole in the line of the demons.
The other demons around them tried to patch up this hole by attacking the knights, but they found that anyone that came close would be blown away by Cecilia's attack. The knights were just there to protect her while she slammed all of the demons away.
Seeing this, all of the demons revealed bitter smiles as they couldn't believe this.
Weren't they supposed to be the one using this technique?
Why did it suddenly get turned around on them?
The demon commander knew that this situation had gotten out of hand and even if he wanted to do something, it would be impossible with the state that his men were in.
The only way for him to take care of this was to use some drastic measures.
Namely…his hidden trump card.
So the demon commander ignored his men who were being trounced and turned to look at the elves.
He was looking at one specific elf who had also been looking in his direction.
When his eyes met the gaze of this elf, there was a look of understanding that appeared in the eyes of the elf. At the same time, there was a difficult look that appeared in the eyes of that elf.
But in the end, the determination filled it and they made up their mind.
That elf raised their hand and they gathered mana in the palm of their hands.
From a bystander's point of view, it seemed like this elf was about to shoot out a spell to hit the enemy.
However, when one looked at this elf closely, they would see that this elf was facing a certain direction.
Instead of looking at the enemies, this elf was currently looking in the direction of Cecilia and her knights.
If they were to release a spell now…that spell would most likely hit Cecilia and her knights.
But that elf didn't stop gathering mana in their palms.
After a minute, the elf had finished gathering the mana that they needed for this spell and they were prepared to fire it.
However, before they could, they heard a cough coming from behind them.
The elf suddenly jolted when they heard this and they turned around to see…a young human male standing there.
That was right, I was standing behind this elf.
I looked at this red haired elf with their hand raised and their mana gathered with a calm look. It didn't seem like I was accusing them of anything, but the way that I stood there with my arms crossed made it clear that I knew everything.
When the red haired elf saw this, his face suddenly twisted.
After a moment of silence, that red haired elf slowly brought his hand down and ran forward with the stick in his hand.
I kept watching this red haired elf, making sure that he didn't do anything else and it seemed like he had given up on causing mischief.
As for how I knew this…I had been watching the elves in the cave the entire time.
I had been carefully watching to see if I could find the traitor, but there didn't seem to be anything that I could see. So I was almost certain that the traitor that the demons had mentioned before weren't among the elves in the cave.
But that would mean that they were outside in the cage…
That just seemed very strange unless they were trying to blend in by playing the part of the victim.
However, I remembered something after thinking about this.
Why would the demon commander specifically bring out that dagger and taunt Apollo this afternoon?
That seemed a bit suspicious.
Now, my suspicions have been confirmed.
However, it wasn't the time to deal with them right now.
