The bandit shot by the fire arrow was burning alive.

“Water!” They shouted in panic, throwing water.

But strangely, the water they threw seemed to come alive, moving to Sephirena’s side.

“This is?!” The other party stared at Sephirena in astonishment. “Don’t tell me you’re an elf?!”

Elves appearing in the Lisat Kingdom was no longer a rare occurrence, so there was no need to hide her elven identity.

“What? Are elves some rare species now?” Sephirena had seen several other elves since entering the Laurent Marquisdom; otherwise, she wouldn’t have revealed her identity so readily.

“Then this is... a real jackpot!” The bandit’s eyes lit up.

“Tsk.” Sephirena felt extremely uncomfortable. It was better to end this quickly.

Sephirena finished off the immediate trouble in just a few moves. For her, bandits of this caliber posed no threat.

It was just that their carriage had been destroyed, leaving them to walk to Angu.

Liana walked over to the bandits’ carriage and began soothing the frightened horses.

“With a few repairs, it can serve as temporary transport.” Liana raised her hand, taking a wheel from one carriage and a wheel from another, managing to cobble together a single functional carriage.

It was a bit drafty, but still far more convenient than walking.

Sephirena raised her hand, and wooden planks, under her control, blocked the drafty spots.

“You can control them even after they’ve become wooden planks?” Liana asked curiously.

“Princess Liana... this is just ordinary magic,” Sephirena explained.

“Eh? Is that so...” Liana had thought Sephirena was amazing enough to control wood even after it had been processed into planks.

Princess Liana really is dense sometimes...

But... It’s also kind of cute.

They got back into the carriage. But because it was a bandit’s carriage, it wasn’t as luxurious or comfortable as their original one.

“Something feels strange,” Liana said.

“Hm? What specifically feels strange?” Sephirena asked.

“The bandits... were too weak. Can bandits like that really attack anyone?” Liana recalled what had just happened.

You could say they had some skill, but it definitely wasn’t enough. If that was their full strength, there was no way they could threaten those convoys.

Moreover, for demonkind, the stronger the nourishment, the happier it is. Just attacking weak targets won’t satisfy a demon.

But this group of bandits is a bit too weak. They absolutely don’t meet that requirement.

Since they’re already resorting to this, it’s impossible that they’d be satisfied with just ordinary people.

“...I think your worries are correct, Princess Liana.” Sephirena also sensed something. She reached out and shattered the wooden plank at the back of the carriage. “They’re coming...”

Sephirena’s expression became extremely grave.

Liana followed Sephirena’s gaze and saw an extremely horrifying and bizarre scene.

The bandits who had been lying on the ground were now standing up in grotesque poses, blood dripping slowly from their arms.

“This is...”

“I should have killed them. Why are they standing up again?” Sephirena was also baffled. “I didn’t hold back against trash like them, and I’m certain they were dead. But now... they’re all standing up.”

“This is really troublesome...” Liana was certain. The power they were using was definitely not human.

But that wasn’t the key point. That guy Karen still hadn’t shown himself. He was definitely watching from somewhere.

“Be careful. We still don’t know Karen’s exact location,” Liana said.

“I understand. However, Princess Liana, you need to be the most careful. I’ll deal with these things first. I’m worried he’ll attack you while I’m occupied,” Sephirena said.

“Don’t worry about me. I’m not the weak person I used to be. He can’t hurt me. Not to mention, Minoga is watching,” Liana said.

“...I understand.” Sephirena took a deep breath. It seemed she had to get a little serious.

This is the best chance to prove myself. I can’t let Minoga make a move. I must show Princess Liana that I am reliable.

I’ll end this quickly.

Sephirena grasped the air, and a spear appeared in her hand.

Among the elf princesses, she was the most skilled in combat and could wield a wide variety of weapons.

If arrows can’t kill you, then I’ll take your heads with a spear!

Sephirena charged into the crowd and, in no time, easily severed their heads.

But even so, the bandits, like immortal puppets, climbed up again, found their respective heads, and reattached them.

Watching this made Liana’s stomach churn.

“Demonic energy?!” Sephirena said in surprise.

From their bodies, Sephirena sensed the aura of demonkind.

That explained everything—why they could return from the dead.

No, perhaps these things in front of her were no longer human. Unknowingly, they had already become someone else’s puppets.

Wait, someone is approaching Princess Liana!

“...” Liana seemed to suddenly sense something, and a gem longsword appeared in her hand.

“Oh my, quite a keen sense. But don’t worry, I’m here to help you.” Karen’s voice came from behind Liana.

But his gaze remained fixed on Sephirena behind Liana. It was obvious he, too, had his sights on this “delicious food.”

“So it’s Karen.” Liana’s tone was frigid, but it wasn’t the time to tear off her face.1撕破脸 (sī pò liǎn), dropping all pretenses.

“...” Karen narrowed his eyes at the masked girl. She dared to call him by his name? That was rare. Moreover, with such a powerful elven guard, her identity was definitely not simple.

“I don’t believe I’ve seen you before,” Karen asked.

“There are so many people in the Lisat Kingdom. It’s normal that you don’t know me, Karen,” Liana smiled.

“With such a powerful elven guard, you must be the precious daughter of some noble, right?” Karen didn’t believe Liana was an ordinary person.

“Perhaps. But is that important?” Liana shrugged. “We’re just unlucky. We thought it was an ordinary bandit attack, but we actually ran into demons.”

This was a very sensitive time. Someone suddenly appeared in the Laurent Marquisdom, someone he didn’t recognize, who has a powerful elven guardian, and who knew about demonkind... Karen would certainly not let her go easily.

“They are indeed demonkind.” Karen admitted it freely.

“I didn’t expect demonkind to have already appeared in a place like this. We must notify His Majesty the King immediately,” Liana spoke up.

“It’s merely a few demons. I’ll dispose of them soon. There’s no need to trouble His Majesty the King.” Karen could not let Liana spread this news.

He inwardly cursed them as trash. I gave you all power, and you can’t even handle a single elf?

“That won’t do. Demonkind is extremely dangerous. Even if you kill these, there’s no guarantee they are completely eradicated. Maybe more are hiding somewhere, waiting to attack travelers.” As Liana spoke, she took out a crystal ball.

Karen’s expression darkened. Why aren’t those trash interrupting her?

He looked back. Those bandits were currently in the process of regenerating.

No way! Didn’t they just regenerate?!

Is this elf that strong?

Liana saw the slight change in his expression, and smiled behind her mask.

Well, what will you do now, Karen? Let me send the message? Or will we tear off all pretenses?

“You can contact the King directly? May I ask where you are from? You must hold a high position in the Lisat Kingdom, right?” Karen continued to probe.

“Status? Reputation? None of that matters. What matters is that demonkind is here. That’s all.” Liana couldn’t be bothered with pleasantries and activated the magic stone.

Karen reached out to stop Liana, but she dodged back two steps. “What’s wrong, Karen? What is the meaning of this?”

“The situation is highly sensitive. I don’t want to disturb the King over this. The Laurent Marquisdom is the Lisat Kingdom’s blade. We can handle these matters properly,” Karen said.

“It’s not something that can’t be negotiated of. Right now, the King of Lisat is looking for clues about the demon race. This is good news delivered right to us. He’ll be happy to hear about it,” Liana said.

Karen’s expression grew darker and darker.

“You have a point.” Karen also took out a magic stone. “I will inform my father right now and have him tell the King of Lisat.”

“Is that so.” Liana put away her magic stone. “Then I’ll trouble you to handle the aftermath, Karen. I still have things to attend to.” 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Liana narrowed her eyes. He was indeed contacting the Marquis Laurent. As for what they were saying, Liana knew without even thinking.

They’re already taking precautions. I can’t waste any more time here.

He certainly doesn’t want to waste time here, either. Even though he looks like he wants to eat me alive, he won’t do it.

He doesn’t have enough confidence.

So, he needs to wait for an opportunity.

In any case, he absolutely will not let someone like me leave in one piece.

“Leave it to me.” Karen nodded.

At this moment, Sephirena returned to Liana’s side.

“Good work.” Liana nodded in satisfaction.

Sephirena had noticed the anomaly over here long ago, but she hadn’t blindly rushed over. Instead, she confirmed Liana was safe before finishing off the trouble at hand.

Karen watched the direction Liana left, a strange smile playing on his # Nоvеlight # lips. Go on. Go and choose your own burial ground.
