Chapter 726 - 127. Curse Death Prison (7k)
Chapter 726 of "Demi-human Girls Completion Manual" introduces: "Pant, pant, pant!"In the cutting gale, the entire world seemed nothing more than a swath... Read on to discover!
"Pant, pant, pant!"In the cutting gale, the entire world seemed nothing more than a swath of white. The terrain on Sema Snow Mountainâs outskirts was relatively even. Compared to the inner massif, with slopes steeper than forty-five degrees, it could be considered merciful. Thus, Fisher, Valentina, and Philis made rapid progress, covering the midsection of the mountainâs outskirts in less than three hours after parting with Dal.
"Valentina, donât keep staring at the snow; youâll hurt your eyes."
Fisher had temporarily lent the Fluid Sword to Philis. Without any mountaineering gear and relying on Fisherâs Tenth Rank Constitution, they had no problem advancing, but Philis, barely at the Sixth Rank and carrying a delicate young miss, was at a disadvantage. A climbing stick could not only save Philis energy but also probe the snow-covered surfaces ahead.
"I know..."
Valentina obediently lowered her face and stopped gazing at the scenery. It was her first time witnessing the vastness of Sema Snow Mountainâa majestic grandeur that dwarfed all other mountains, enthralling to someone with her limited experience. She had been captivated for a long time until Fisherâs reminder abruptly interrupted her.
Philis, wielding the Fluid Sword as a walking stick, glanced back at Valentina on her back and complained,
"Hey, boss, I warned you about this when we started the climb, but you only listen when Fisher speaks, right? Maybe Fisher should carry you; you two can talk then."
"Yo, not bad, someone else shares my sentiment. I feel the same way. Look how your boss is almost gazing through Fisherâs silhouette..."
Emhardt, perched on Fisherâs shoulder, smiled and gave Philis behind him an approving look, like spotting a fellow ally.
The teasing from the Lion-man and the book colored Valentinaâs face a slight red. She glared at the sly book, then tugged at Philisâs muffin-like ears, causing her pain to wrinkle her face as she hastily pleaded,
"Ow, ow, I was wrong, boss."
Just then, Fisher, who had been walking up ahead, suddenly halted mid-stride. Valentina thought Fisher had caught her pinching Philisâs ear and quickly retracted her hand to obediently rest on her shoulder, but Fisherâs concern wasnât Valentina; her brow furrowed slightly as she looked toward the direction of the thunderclouds.
The bone-chilling wind battered him, yet he faintly heard a sound amidst the gustsâa familiar sound he had heard before,
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
It was the Cardinal!
In the next second, his keen eyes quickly spotted over a dozen blue points of light vibrating slightly before the dark clouds, rapidly approaching. Fisher swiftly grabbed Emhardt, who was slightly sticking out his tongue on her shoulder, and stuffed him into her arms. Then he gently reached out to recall the Fluid Sword from Philisâs hand.
Facing the puzzled gazes of Philis and Valentina, Fisher didnât explain, simply instructing Philis,
"Keep moving forward, quickly, donât mind me."
"Itâs Turand..."
Valentina wanted to look back, but Philis didnât hesitate to support her behind and dash forward, scaring Valentina into clinging tightly to her back, daring not to move an inch.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
But in the next moment, the rapidly approaching Snowflake Knights split into two groups. One headed towards Philis, who was running ahead, and dazzling beams of Death Light burst forth, shooting towards the ground where Philis was sprinting.
"What the hell is this..."
Philis glanced back at the Cardinal Knights blowing blue light behind her and then at the snow that had been pierced by the searing beams. She was petrified with terror and yelled to Valentina behind her,
"Boss, hold tight!"
"Eek?"
Valentina instinctively hugged Philis tighter, and in the next moment, Philis powerfully dug her feet into the ground, charging forward like a true Lion-man.
"Miss, Gadley has come to fetch you on your familyâs behalf."
In the sky, Gadley watched from above the group of Snowflake Knights as Philis and Valentina sprinted and dashed beneath the rain of Death Light from the Cardinal. He didnât bother to join in; he just watched the scene unfold, curious to see how far this Lion-man could run on the mountain.
However, the next moment, he felt a chill at his back. He quickly flicked his fingers, maneuvering the Snowflake Knight beneath him to move aside, and a large rock whizzed past his face. He turned back and saw a Nali man, holding a silver blade, leaping from the ground towards the dozens of meters high sky.
Damn it, is this guy even Human?
The emotionless Fisher sent a chill down his back, and he quickly controlled the Snowflake Knight to ascend while turning to call out to the Nali Agents below,
"Werenât you all supposed to deal with the fugitive she hired? Get moving!" É´á´á´Ą É´á´á´ á´Ę á´Ęá´á´á´á´Ęs á´Ęá´ á´á´ĘĘÉŞsĘá´á´ á´É´ ????????????????????â????????????????â????????????
Curion didnât heed the frantic yapping of Gadley above. He watched as Fisher, nimbly weaving through the air with the Fluid Sword, began to sweat. Those sharp, fluctuating blades dove through the armor, exploiting their mid-air movements, and completely destroyed several Snowflake Knights.
