I'm even more curious now!!
Franti: "Who is the other party...?"
An Yi: "My sister."
Franti: "..."
An even more uninspiring answer appeared!
Lycorina helplessly shrugged: "Many people ask him if he has a girl he likes, and he always answers that it's his sister, saying things like 'she's the prettiest sister,' 'she's the best sister,' and so on."
Franti: "This is so... convenient."
You've used this "sister shield" more than once, haven't you?
With such skillful use, you truly are the Shield Hero!
Layton chuckled and put his arm around Annie's shoulder: "Growing up like this, you must have had crushes on one or two pretty little girls like this in the village, right?"
Lycorina: "Exactly, it must be Annie who's too shy to admit it."
Franti also crossed her arms and nodded in agreement.
Yes, how could there not be!
An Yi was too lazy to explain: "None of them are as good as my sister."
It existed in my past life, but not in this one.
In his past life, he did indeed have a crush on a pretty girl, but after that night when almost everyone in the village perished, all his beautiful fantasies were shattered.
In this life, I feel nothing for the people I liked in my past life.
Even without being sexually apathetic, he has only ever strived for the night of the goblin invasion since birth.
Then, the seamless introduction of the Hero System meant that he was destined to be forever separated from the village girls in this life.
Ah, youth.
[The Hero of Thorns has left the chat group!]
[The Fighting Hero has left the chat group!]
[The Lion Warrior has left the chat group!]
Three messages appeared one after another: leaving the chat group is not death, but rather voluntary withdrawal or exceeding a certain range.
This indicates that Milu and her two companions have already chased after them for quite some distance.
The other side of the city...
The Lord of No Form had already sensed something was amiss.
He was being followed.
Unlike Miluko's silence, Blaze and Xingu had no intention of hiding at all.
My clothes are stuffed with bags of spare food. Agility +30. I just follow the smell.
They discovered that the Lord of No Form was not slow either, and since they couldn't see the opponent's specific attributes, it was difficult to know the opponent's true speed.
The opponent kept changing its form, disappearing into an alley and then emerging from another street, using the demons to alter its appearance.
If it weren't for Milu being closely watched by him the whole way and Xingu tracking his scent, he might have actually escaped.
From the perspective of an ordinary demon, it would appear as if the other party had barged into the Fifth Avenue and mingled with the demons.
I stared intently, trying to find the other person, but I couldn't find anyone on the street who matched up.
The moment one blends into the horde of demons, the pursuit can no longer continue.
The Lord of No Form was also puzzled. He had changed streets several times, infiltrated the demon race multiple times, and repeatedly altered his race and appearance by taking advantage of blind spots around corners, but...
The stalkers continued their relentless pursuit.
It's as if the [Formless] has failed.
He never doubted the ability of [Formless]. No matter how good the enemy's sense of smell and sight were, he could change his form and smell at the same time simply by moving into a blind spot.
In particular, the ability to change scents can leave many demons with a keen sense of smell completely bewildered, because the scent will change halfway through their tracking, leaving them completely clueless as they watch the demons on the street.
But this time it's different.
He didn't understand what went wrong, why he kept changing, yet the other person could still keep up with him?
"Ah."
The Lord of No Forms sneered.
Since things have come to this point, we have no choice but to resort to some extraordinary measures.
He has escaped countless pursuits and encountered even more dangerous situations.
But he still managed to escape, thanks to—
It's still this [formlessness]!
The Lord of No Form emerged from the demons and plunged into the alley, another moment that blocked the viewer's perspective;
His figure changed rapidly, shrinking visibly from a three-meter-tall demon to a smaller and smaller form until even his black robe fell to the ground!
A demon the size of a rabbit darted through the alley, its all-black fur making it run a considerable distance.
[Second Hero of the Thorns: The opponent's size shrank to 0, turning into a mouse!] /·●! 肆″‰
Milu, who was observing all of this from the building, quickly reported back.
The Fighting Hero: It's Time!
Hero of the Thrust: Alright, Hero of the Fight, turn left, then turn right after the first corner.
The lion warrior continued to follow the scent.
Was Blazer just here to join in the fun?
of course not.
He followed along to surround the [Lord of No Form]!
Even if these alleys were as wide as streets in the human world, they would never be as difficult to block as the streets of the demon realm.
The Lord of No Form is so mistaken that he thinks the alley is his sanctuary!
The alleyways where demons are scarce are the ideal hunting grounds for heroes!
It's much easier to corner the fleeing [Lord of No Form] here than on the streets outside.
Miluko was in charge of command because she was much faster than the [Lord of No Form], so she could plan the route in advance before the opponent entered the alley.
[Hero of the Thrust: The Hero of the Fight jumps onto the building on the left at the next intersection, jumps down from the rooftop to see another path, and continues straight ahead.]
"Oh!"
Blazer sprinted to the intersection, then leaped up, his iron-spear-like fingers plunging into the wall. He quickly climbed the building and then ran forward.
He was like a nimble giant ape, moving through the massive city of the demons.
The sprinting "rat" skipped over several narrow entrances, clearly indicating that it had no intention of crawling into the sewers.
But his keen hearing detected that Xingu was getting closer and closer. Xingu was also tracking him at an extremely fast speed, as if he had already pinpointed Xingu's location, and his steps became more and more determined.
Panic, unusually, welled up in the heart of the Lord of No Form.
"what is going on?!"
Why were they still able to catch up?
Oh no, the problem was already apparent the moment he couldn't shake off the other person. ◆Six∠≈Four№
He still fantasized that shrinking his size would allow him to escape the pursuers.
We can't wait any longer!
He suddenly accelerated and ran wildly in a certain direction.
However, what he didn't know was that all his intentions had already been exposed to Miluko.
Milu knew what he wanted to do.
The end of this road was the last sewer entrance he had passed after skipping several others.
The other party wants to escape from here.
and so……
Everything is going according to plan!
"Shh-"
A tiny black shadow slid down the alley, stepping through the mud and over the garbage; he had already planned his escape route.
He didn't want to escape through the sewers, and he had never been so disheveled before, but in each city he visited, he would leave behind a lot of backup plans to give himself more room to escape.
Even if he didn't want to, he had still surveyed the area.
Now it's not a matter of whether he wants to or not; if he doesn't enter the sewers soon, his pursuers will catch up with him.
He didn't want to start a war with them. Since they dared to follow him, they must be stronger than him!
He needs to be here! To escape!
"Shh-!"
Around another corner, he could already see the massive entrance to the sewers—
"Hold!"
The manhole cover, which could originally only be accessed by extremely small demons, has been stolen!
The manhole cover was supposed to block the pursuers' footsteps, but now it's vanished without a trace!
But it doesn't matter, there's an even smaller entrance in the sewer!
Once he crawls into a tiny drainpipe, no matter what kind of tracker he is, they can't catch him!
However, just as he was about to reach the entrance, he was still nearly twenty meters away;
A dark figure suddenly descended from the sky!
N-A-A
