Chapter 1105: Leaf's Heart
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Two days later .
In Neverwinter, Graycastle .
"That was about the situation at that time . . . " Ashes shared the details of her encounter with the demon . "After the fire was extinguished, Lightning found the enemy's traces around 100 kilometers away in the north . Those traces should be left by the Spider Demons when they crossed the forest . I fancy there were just three or four of them . "
Because of the interruption of the signals, Roland did not know that Leaf had been under attack until evening . The early next morning, he immediately instructed Tilly and Wendy to fly to the terminus station and bring her back to Neverwinter .
Ashes only suffered minor injuries but Leaf had been helped off the plane .
Fortunately, Nightfall had grown the Seed of Symbiosis in Leaf's body . While Leaf remained unconscious, her symbiont seemed to be fine . This meant the impact on her was more mental than physical .
Roland, in the meantime, turned to a big map on his desk .
He had already formed a vivid picture of the incident in his mind .
The demon commander had noticed something unusual about the Misty Forest . It noticed that the railway took a turn at the forest and stretched on toward Taquila . Instead of forcing through the trench and the barbed wire at the terminus station, it had directly attacked the witch who controlled the forest .
Meanwhile, a group of demons had traveled nearly 500 kilometers from the Taquila ruins to the northern forest . The Spider Demons had not only set the forest on fire but had also been supplying the Red Mist to their army . This was, therefore, in a sense, the demons' first guerrilla operation .
The fire was just a diversion . The demons had probably foreseen that the forest controller would stay in the forest, watching the unfolding of the event . They did not really care about whether the First Army would put out the fire or not .
Perhaps, they had come to realize that Leaf was the supply hub for the First Army .
The demons were obviously under the impression that once the forest controller was killed, human beings would immediately retreat from the front .
Although their speculation was not completely accurate, it did demonstrate how proficient the demons were in using magic power . They had not only figured out the form of Leaf's magic power but also made a specific plan to eliminate her . Everything was carefully calculated, from their traveling distance to the time required to retreat . Only with a profound comprehension of magic power could they successfully carry out this operation .
Roland even suspected that the demons had seen something similar to Leaf's ability .
It would take at least a week for the demons to backtrack, so it was not very hard to trace them down . Nevertheless, there was no point in doing so, because the Magic Slayer could fly away anytime . If with luck, they could probably kill a few Spider Demons or some lower demons during this pursuit . If worse, they would probably suffer an even greater loss .
There was no effective measure to counter the demons in this case due to the secrecy of their operation . Although most of the witches were under the protection of the God's Punishment Witches, the situation did not apply to the witches who moved around like Leaf, Maggie and Lightning . Fortunately, very few Senior Demons were as powerful as the Magic Slayer, so Leaf, Maggie and Lightning would notice any change in magic power if a regular Senior Demon was about to attack . In that case, they simply needed to retreat immediately to avoid a direct confrontation .
Another thing that concerned Roland was the conversation between the Magic Slayer and Ashes .
He did not anticipate that the demons could speak the human language .
Being a Senior Demon, Kabradhabi did not have the ability to directly communicate with human beings . Camilla had to channel it to build effective communication .
"Learning is the first step of evolution . "
"Thousands of things have changed in the past hundreds of years, but you still live in the old way . "
"It's rumored that long before the beginning of the first Battle of Divine Will, a man taught the demons his knowledge . "
Ashes' and Pasha's words reverberated in Roland's mind .
For some reason, Roland had the impression that the Magic Slayer took pride in the past hundreds of years, as though he had witnessed those numerous changes himself .
