Upon hearing the commander’s order, dozens of mages, who had been blown into rolling gourds by the strong wind, quickly got up, not even bothering to pick up their fallen magic hats, and raised their hands together. The light at the tips of their staffs quickly merged in the air with skill and speed.
“Oh? What’s this again? The methods of Demon Suppression City to deal with monsters are quite diverse~”
After swinging out a decompressed strike, Violet didn’t rush to continue her assault. Instead, she disassembled the erupting form of her Thunder Induction into its initial form, leisurely observing the rapidly forming black sphere in the air.
“Demon Catching Net! Release!!”
With the commander’s command, the surging black ball in the air shot out like it was thrown by an invisible giant hand.
Although Violet’s instinct as a priest didn’t prompt her to dodge at all, considering that she was currently in Little Blue’s body, she moved sideways for safety.
Unexpectedly, the black ball seemed to have eyes, quickly turning in the air. No matter how Violet dodged, it stubbornly stuck to her back.
“Hmm?”
As she dodged back and forth somewhat absent-mindedly, Violet quietly glanced at the group of mages in the distance. She realized that the black spheres above their heads hadn’t completely disappeared, they had just shrunk significantly. Moreover, they were subtly moving with the pursuit of the black sphere following Violet.
So that’s how it works.
Under normal circumstances, with the shield soldiers and outer battle formations protecting the center, this kind of remotely controlled joint magic would indeed be quite troublesome.
But now that the human army’s front line had been shattered by Violet’s strike, although she had shown some mercy to Lilya, sparing the soldiers’ lives, they would definitely not be able to participate in this battle anymore.
If Violet wanted, she could use her speed, far superior to these humans, to directly rush to the vicinity of those mages and solve the problem at its source. But that would be quite boring.
Just give it a try, see what mysteries are hidden in this special magic combined with dozens of mages.
Taking out a certain item from her backpack and putting it on, Violet no longer dodged. With a nimble leap in place, she rebounded towards the black sphere!
The magic, which was already chasing the girl at high speed, almost collided with her in the blink of an eye, transforming into a vast black net that seemed to cover the sky, descending upon her from above!
“Hey, Thunder Roar!”
Violet raised her hand without panic and swiftly waved it. The three-section staff in her hand immediately erupted with endless lightning, like countless thunder serpents, biting into every corner of the black net.
However, to her surprise, the seemingly unremarkable black net did not instantly turn into charcoal as expected. Instead, the mages controlling it in the distance simultaneously spewed out a mouthful of blood, with one-third of them even collapsing directly to the ground, falling into unconsciousness.

So that’s how it works, a magic directly linked to the controller....
As she pondered, the black net entangled with thunder quickly contracted, layer upon layer, although it couldn’t penetrate the protective thunderlight on Violet’s body, it seemed to have temporarily trapped her for a moment.
“Now’s our chance! Fire at will! Open fire!!!”
“Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!!”
Hidden in the distance, those strange cannons called Dragon Bone Cannons by Lulu almost simultaneously emitted deafening roars. Among them, one cannon, which was particularly large in size and hadn’t even made a sound when attacking the Shield of Light earlier, now lit up with dazzling light.
More than a dozen multicolored beams of light slammed into the golden slime lady, who was trapped and immobilized by the Demon Catching Net, one after another, generating a cacophony of roars and earth-shattering tremors. Even the mountainside that had collapsed earlier due to the explosion experienced a noticeable secondary tremor.
“Ugh, Lady Violet....”
Hiding within the Shield of Light, Lulu, temporarily sheltered, felt her palms damp with sweat due to nervousness.
Honestly, she couldn’t quite understand what this mysterious being, who seemed to know the Holy Ancestor and suddenly descended through Little Blue, was thinking.
Clearly, they could have easily dealt with those humans in one fell swoop, yet they chose the most foolish approach to confront the Demon Catching Net head-on, leaving them now uncertain of life or death amidst the relentless barrage of Dragon Bone Cannons.
Even Lord South Blade, a legendary demon general, wouldn’t dare to directly face the onslaught of Dragon Bone Cannons with his body, let alone a simultaneous volley.
“Lulu, do you think she might have already...?”
A cautious demon girl, almost indistinguishable from humans except for the cute pair of horns on her head, leaned in, her eyes fixed on the distant smoke and dust raised by the bombardment of the Dragon Bone Cannons, seeming particularly nervous.
Other demon girls also wore expressions of concern, knowing that the outcome of this battle directly affected their collective future.
After pondering for a moment, Lulu shook her head.
“It’s hard to say, but look, the protection laid down by that Lady hasn’t disappeared, which means at least her life should be safe. All we can do now is pray.”
The girl with horns couldn’t help but show a hint of annoyance.
“Humans are so bad, so many of them ganging up on that Lady alone... If only Lord South Blade and the others were here, at least she wouldn’t be fighting alone. And after that intense collapse earlier, I wonder how the Demon Generals are doing now. Sigh...”
........................................
Meanwhile, at the location where a certain Mr. South Blade was being remembered.
The rumbling vibrations from above and below instantly put all demons, including Walter, on high alert, almost instinctively assuming a defensive posture.
But at the same time, the Demon Generals also looked puzzled. After all, they hadn’t yet emerged from the collapsed cave, so it was rather strange to hear such huge commotion from outside that seemed like a battle.
Like seeking opinions, Walter tried to call out, but for some reason, he hadn’t spoken since some time ago, merely maintaining the moving light shield and silently leading the black-haired girl forward.
“Lady Violet, something seems off outside. Could something have happened?”
“Uh, Lady Violet, Lady Violet?”
Walter called out several times, but it was only when the blonde girl beside the priestess pulled his sleeve that the black-haired girl slowly turned her head, as if not quite understanding, blinking in confusion.
“Huh? What did you just say?”
“?”
Walter was puzzled. He thought his voice wasn’t exactly soft, so why did she... seem like she had just woken up from a nap?
........................................
After some delay and offering Walter some perfunctory reassurance, Violet redirected most of her attention back to the battlefield outside.
In theory, she should be able to simultaneously control her main body and her avatar to do different things, but, well, she still felt a bit unskilled and uncomfortable with it.
After all, it’s like multitasking in a game. It’s okay for AFK or simple tasks, but when it comes to intense combat, especially when borrowing someone else’s body for close combat, which the priestess isn’t very good at, it’s hard to divide her focus and control her main body as well.
So it might seem like she’s distracted.
However, the sensation of having two perspectives simultaneously was truly fascinating. Once she became proficient, who knows if she could divide her thoughts even further in the future?
