"Run, Annie! There are too many of them!" Layton shouted, trying to pull Annie along.
"It's alright, I'll cover the rear."
Facing the group of demons, An Yi showed no fear, her face remaining expressionless as usual.
Layton frowned and glanced at Annie, then nodded finally: "Alright! I'll be going now!"
An Yi is more agile than him; even if he runs for half a minute longer, An Yi can still catch up with him.
"Oh!"
The golden barrier shattered.
At the same time, a flash of white light appeared in An Yi's hand, and an ancient longsword decorated with grass leaves appeared in his hand.
[Goblin Priest's Sword Lv99]
"Blazing Sword Technique, Flaming Slash, Multiple Releases—"
"Feng Tian!"
"boom--!!"
Flames erupted, engulfing the ghosts along the corridor!
Undead, being without physical form, are weak to fire, but not entirely; they fear firelight more than the flame itself.
The physical undead are genuinely afraid of fire, because their dry bodies are easily ignited.
6. Especially those who are still wearing clothes.
And then there are those that are both solid and highly resilient, capable of easily traversing seas of fire, such as...
Blood Demon!
"Ughh ...
ba [Biotype: Blood Demon]
Strength: 20, Agility: 20, Stamina: 8
Resilience: 15 Magic: 0 Intelligence: -3
Tip: 0
The two-meter-long Blood Demon roared as it charged through the sea of fire, ignoring the flames covering its body, and lunged at An Yi with its long tongue lolling out.
An Yi stared at the other person, pressed the sword to her waist as if sheathing it, and then took a step forward, making a gesture as if preparing to draw the sword.
Such narrow terrain is not well-suited to most of the wide-ranging sword techniques used in this world, but there is a type of sword technique that is small in movement and efficient, and can be used here...
He gazed at the other man calmly, like a hunter watching his prey slowly fall into a trap.
"Ughh ...
The Blood Demon opened its gaping maw and lunged at An Yi with its claws raised!
With only half a meter remaining, the opponent's agility of 20 could instantly tear An Yi in two—
Suddenly, An Yi moved.
"Iai."
"Kasaya Slash".
The sword was drawn! A silvery-white sword light flashed in the firelight, moving as fast as lightning. Two gusts of wind whistled as the sword was drawn and the blade was returned to its original position in two strikes!
With a swift upward slash, he first severed the Blood Demon's head, then, as if cutting along his robe, he cleanly cut it in two, severing it from shoulder to abdomen!
With a muffled thud, the Blood Demon's corpse, broken into three pieces, fell beside An Yi, clearly beyond saving.
After slaying the Blood Demon, An Yi didn't hesitate and immediately fled the scene.
"Moo-!!"
The deafening mooing of the cows echoed through the corridor.
There's also a monster that can charge through a sea of fire—
Bull Demon!
8. [Biology: Bull Demon]
Strength: 20 Agility: 10 Stamina: 10
7 Resilience: 30 Magic: 0 Intelligence: 1

6 An Yi knew that there was no benefit in going head-to-head with this guy in his normal state.
Even after consuming Lycorina's [Encouragement], his strength was barely over 30.
4. Demons are inherently tougher, and with an additional 30 points of resilience, it might take An Yi some time to kill them.
4 Instead of staying, you should leave here and return to your teammates.
2. Incidentally, he didn't use the [Goblin Priest's Sword] with [Inspire] active; rather, this sword is a magic sword that provides a certain damage boost to elemental combat skills.
【Sword of the Warrior】inverts the damage.
His [Inspiration] is currently a very important trump card for him, but he should avoid using it when facing elite monsters.
Soon, Annie caught up with Layton.
"Hey, Annie, all done?!" Layton had been running the whole time and didn't have time to look back.
"Yeah, we slowed them down a bit, but they'll catch up to us soon," Annie said as she ran.
"What should we do then?! Go back and fight?" Layton asked.
"No, we can't handle those things."
After saying that, An Yi sent a message in the chat group.
[Sword Hero: Miss Miluco, when you retreat to the corner, put the Saintess down.]
When Miss Karen's ability allowed her to sense that we were about 20 meters away, she used a beam of light to target the entire corridor.
Hero of the Thorns: Received.
Holy Hero: Understood!
"And what about me?" Layton asked as he ran.
“You are the most important,” Annie said.
Layton suddenly breathed a sigh of relief; he had thought he was completely useless against these monsters.
After all, these monsters could pass right through his shield, and even through his body, to attack the people behind him.
"Mr. Layton, have you used your points?"
You should allocate 5 points to Magic now.
"If I don't have 5 points, the 2 points I got from killing the Headless Horseman will do," An'i said.
"Yes! I haven't lit it since I came back from the goblins!" Layton said excitedly.
Since Lycorina's [Inspiration] buffs his attributes, he felt that an extra point or two wouldn't make much difference, so he simply kept them all, intending to add them in five-point increments later.
He currently has 7 points left!
Following An's advice, Layton immediately allocated 5 points to [Magic].
When points are successfully allocated, mana automatically reaches full, without needing to consume anything to replenish it.
"Mr. Layton, what is your current maximum magic power?" Annie asked.
“300!” Layton replied.
"And the magic points required to taunt?" Annie asked again.
Layton: "10 o'clock!"
An Yi nodded: "Okay, use all your magic..."
Incite a group to mock them.
Layton was taken aback, then immediately understood what Annie meant!
He wanted to... use group taunt to pull all the monsters towards himself, and then run to the Holy Maiden and use his skills to wipe them all out!
wonderful!
Even if he were stupid, he had already figured out An Yi's plan.
"Alright! Leave the task of drawing the enemy away to me!"
Layton stopped abruptly, held his large shield in front of him, and roared at the charging demons and monsters.
"Taunt! Unleash multiple spells with all your power!"
Group mockery!!
The next moment, the blue bar above Layton's head was instantly cleared.
The undead were initially stunned, then suddenly went berserk!
"kill!"
"Kill this man!!"
"I'm going to eat him!!"
"Run!" Annie shouted.
Just then, Layton suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness throughout his body.
An Yi grabbed him by the waist, hoisted him up, and sprinted towards where Lycorina and the other two were!
"Hey! Hey, hey! I can run by myself!!" Layton shouted awkwardly.
It's so embarrassing to have such a big person being carried like that!
“I know you’ll run away, but…” Annie muttered to herself, making sure Layton didn’t hear.
Suddenly, a ghostly creature caught up and passed through Layton's body at a speed that caught both of them off guard.
