As soon as they spotted the carriage, Fil immediately raised his hand, shooting out a white-colored ball. The ball burst open, scattering the white particles in the air.
This was the signal that the Demon Relief Squad had left the city.
Those in the opposite direction would immediately loop around the city to regroup with the rest of the group before ambushing them.
Laufey, Gargan, and Fil also rushed to the north. It seemed that they were quite lucky, considering the serpent, the fastest among them, was in the south. This way, they could regroup far faster than any other city gate.
Laufey saw two carriages floating. There were no horses, only carriages. However, he could see a figure on top of the carriage.
When he became close enough, he recognized the person. After all, the only one who could bring the carriages like this was Jonathan.
"It's them!" Laufey stated with a cold voice. He believed those people were inside the carriages and used Jonathan to hide their tracks first. They would definitely find a way to lose them when they reached the woods.
However, the signal the Supreme Devil Organization had used couldn't help but make Jonathan hesitate.
On the one hand, they knew they would be ambushed if they kept going. So, there was a thought to return to defeat them with the help of the city wall. On the other hand, it seemed that they couldn't return no matter what because the Supreme Devil Organization was chasing after them. If they remained in the city, they would only bring danger to them.
That hesitation ended up stopping the carriage for a moment. Luckily, the Demon Barrier Squad helped them defeat the enemies around them. It looked like this was a parting gift. They just wanted the Demon Relief Squad to conserve their energy to take care of their own problems. That was the least they could do for them after receiving the medicine.
That was why Jonathan kept going. Unfortunately for him, the Supreme Devil Organization was faster. They managed to regroup within five minutes and immediately came out of the woods.
The demon pair came out from the north, standing on their way so that Jonathan couldn't enter the woods. Meanwhile, Laufey and the others attacked him from the side. Laufey had even covered his blade with Spiritual Energy, ready to destroy the carriages to expose all of them.
But when they made their appearance, Jonathan's lips curved as he jumped into the air, flying back to the wall.
"Huh?!" Laufey widened his eyes in surprise. His brain was revolving like crazy, trying to understand the reason behind his action.
'Why did he jump? But the carriages are still moving. No, wait… That's…' Laufey saw the runes inside the carriages. It was on the back, so they were easily visible once they passed them. However, the runes were circling around the carriages. With the help of a quilt, it was possible to cover it. He could only find it once he was close enough.
In that instant, Laufey realized they had been had. "Not good! It's a trap!"
Laufey stopped while glancing at the wall.
Suddenly, five ice sunflowers appeared on top of the wall. They were glaring at them as if they were the sun.
And the one who controlled them was none other than Damian. Damian infused his Spiritual Energy into the flower and the head of each flower started charging a huge amount of Spiritual Energy.
"Sunflower Cannon." Damian flicked his fingers.
All five sunflowers released a beam filled with the ice element.
Laufey and the others could react, but they were one step too late. The demon pair couldn't do anything as well since they were stopping the carriages that continued moving with the help of Noel's Enhance Forward Rune.
Laufey leaped into the air, waving his sword. A crescent-shaped energy flew forth and struck two of the beams, splitting them apart.
Hailfa was indeed a serpent. She moved skillfully to the outside, leaving the beam's range. However, the problem was Gargan and Fil.
In fact, it didn't take too long for them to realize that these attacks were targeting them.
Gargan pulled his glaive, ready to swing it to stop the attack. But if he stopped all these beams, he would definitely die.
Gargan smiled. He waved his glaive while glancing at Fil behind him. "Live on, Fil."
But to his surprise, Fil was nowhere to be seen. He was confused for a split second, but the next second, he sensed the fluctuation of energy in front of him.
ραпdαn૦νel When he turned around, he could see Fil floating in front of him.
His arms were spread as though he was scattering the distortions in the air. All these distortions were devouring the ice beams.
If Fil were in his normal condition, he would be able to stop all these attacks by himself. Unfortunately, he was severely injured previously.
He managed to deflect a beam and weaken the other. But the last one broke through his defense.
Since he wanted Gargan to stay alive, he used his own body to receive this attack.
"You should live on," said Fil while standing in the beam's path. The ice beam devoured him, covering him in thick ice. Since he was floating earlier, he ended up falling to the ground and the top part of the ice broke apart, splitting Fil's body.
Gargan gritted his teeth as he tried to stop the weakened one, but because Fil messed with his timing, the force still blew him away.
"Gah. Fil." Gargan coughed up some blood as he fell to his knees, looking at his friend who had just died.
When he raised his head, he saw Jonathan using his power to fly on top of the city, bringing Damian with him. And their direction was obvious. They took a straight path to the gate in the opposite direction. With the time they needed to loop around, there was no way Laufey and the others could stop them outside the woods.
They truly had been had.
