Cave.
Solitär slowly opened her eyes.
What she saw was Linie, who hadn't rested at all.
Linie was lying on the bed at the moment, her gaze calmly fixed on Solitär, who had just woken up beside her.
"Can't sleep?"
Solitär pursed her lips and smiled slightly.
"No."
Linie shook her head slightly from side to side.
"I was thinking of being on guard."
After all, they were in someone else's territory.
"On guard?"
Solitär smiled helplessly.
"Who you have with you now is Greater Demon Solitär."
"The ones who should be on guard are others."
The one who almost got them both kidnapped.
The one who often took detours, turning a month-long journey into a two-month journey.
That...
"The nameless Greater Demon, Solitär."
Linie said, pursing her lips.
"Yes."
Solitär nodded.
Noticing Linie's unease.
But Solitär didn't mind.
"Let's go."
Solitär stood up.
"Where to?"
Linie obediently got up from the bed as well.
Standing properly beside Solitär.
"There's a place where quite a few demons have been killed."
"Although our goal is to find someone..." "But since there are people trying to stop us..." "I don't mind killing a few."
"Denken, shall we continue?"
Looking at another corpse bird that had died, pierced by the earthen Magic spikes he had created.
Richter showed a bored expression.
Killing these demons wasn't difficult.
But it was precisely this kind of boring task that he found hard to accept.
"Richter, keep looking."
Denken put away his staff.
His eyes held the unique composure of an old man.
"Richter, keep it up."
Laufen made a cheering gesture.
"Honestly."
"A kindly old man pretending to be good..." "And a young girl who knows nothing of the world."
Seeing this, Richter could only complain, descending from the sky.
Slowly continuing towards the place where the battle had erupted.
However, after only a few steps, they saw Denken suddenly stop moving.
"What's wrong, Denken?"
Richter suddenly felt something was off.
He vigilantly looked around.
Laufen also quickly summoned her staff upon seeing this, her nerves taut as she surveyed her surroundings.
Nothing...
Nothing at all!
Laufen trembled slightly.
She felt a sense of deadly threat.
But she didn't feel any Magic fluctuations at all!
"Come out..." Denken turned around.
Looking at the Forest behind him.
His eyes grew serious.
Alerted by Denken, Richter and Laufen also quickly assumed a defensive posture behind them.
Ready to attack at any moment!
Were they demons or Mages from another team?
Both of them had tense expressions and didn't speak.
"How sensitive."
Solitär and Linie slowly emerged from the shadows of the Forest.
"Demons?"
Richter prepared to attack but was stopped by Denken.
"You didn't intend to hide your tracks at all, did you?"
Denken said with a heavy expression.
Confronting Solitär.
"Should I call for help?"
Laufen's eyes narrowed.
Her teleportation Magic was ready to be unleashed.
Encountering the Demons wasn't something that could be solved by brute force.
Especially when the Demons appeared with a clear plan.
"You can't."
Linie summoned her exclusive weapon, which transformed into a delicate small axe.
In the blink of an eye, she appeared behind Laufen!
Her calm gaze was fixed firmly on Laufen!
She couldn't escape!
Even with teleportation Magic, she couldn't escape!
Laufen trembled all over.
"Could you tell me your name?"
Denken remained exceptionally calm compared to the other two.
This was the Class 1 Mage test site.
Since the Demons could appear, escaping now would be meaningless.
Who knew if the Demons's appearance was a premeditated part of the test or a surprise attack by the Demons.
Just fight it out.
"I won't tell you."
Solitär smiled gently.
"Unless..." She put away her smile.
Her eyes became calm.
"Unless?"
Denken pressed on.
He was serious.
He couldn't see through this seemingly gentle woman in front of him.
She didn't have the horns characteristic of the Demons on her head.
Proof that she was suppressing her Magic at the moment.
But even so.
The gentle woman in front of him still gave him a feeling of being unbeatable!
It wasn't shameful to want to live.
Denken lowered his head.
Shamelessly asking for a way to survive.
"Have a sparring match with her."
Solitär looked at Linie, who was standing beside Laufen.
Denken, Laufen, Richter.
The three of them immediately looked at Linie.
Me?
Linie tilted her head, pointing to herself with her finger in confusion.
Then she looked at Solitär, who was holding her arms and smilingly nodding not far away.
"Damn it, what do you take us for!"
Richter couldn't help but roar.
Three people against one?
Who are you looking down on?!
"Richter."
Denken's face darkened as he pressed down on Richter's already raised staff.
This was an opportunity instead!
Whether it was defeating them one by one, or actually doing as this unfathomable member of the Demons said.
Whether she let them go or not.
Wasn't it ultimately beneficial to them?
Denken wasn't afraid of death.
But until he returned to his hometown and paid his respects at his wife's grave, his last wish would not be fulfilled.
He couldn't die!
Furthermore.
Denken glanced at Laufen behind him.
She couldn't die either.
She was still so young, she had so much time and an infinite future ahead of her!
"How have you considered it?"
Solitär had no interest in delaying any longer.
There were originally two purposes for this action.
One was to deal with the few people who were slaughtering demons.
The other was to let Linie, who was about to break through to Lesser Demon, gain some experience.
Experience...
Since she had decided to act, she was no longer worried about being exposed.
There were plenty of Mages in this basin Forest for Linie to gain experience from.
"We agree."
Denken exchanged glances with the two behind him before nodding.
"Linie, do your best."
Seeing this.
Solitär retreated to the side.
Leaving the stage to the four of them.
"Lady Solitär."
Linie bit her lip.
She seriously suspected that Solitär had brought her out not to complete any task at all!
She simply wanted to get her killed!
The ten-odd large and small pitfalls along the way weren't enough!
Now she was actually being asked to fight three powerful Mages alone!
But—the words were already out.
Linie naturally wanted to prove herself.
"Make your move."
Linie took a deep breath, her expression indifferent.
The mountain-splitting axe in her hand had transformed into a spear at some point.
At this moment, the spearhead gleamed coldly under the moonlight.
It looked incredibly dangerous!
"Don't kill her."
Denken hesitated for a moment, then said to Richter.
As for Laufen?
Her strength wasn't enough to threaten Linie.
"How frustrating."
Richter gritted his teeth in response.
Then he placed his hands near the ground.
"Earth Flow Wall!"
In an instant!
The ground beneath the four of them instantly rose!
"Let's begin."
Denken adjusted his monocle.
His gaze fell upon Linie, who was ready for battle.
