Home of the Brave

On a moonless night, the darkness of the night enveloped the streets of Hot Spring Village. The street lamp set in front of the hotel exudes the light of fossil fuel, and the dim light reflects countless ghostly shadows.

The black shadow has a body similar to a human, but his skin is darker than night. A monster called a "ghost" jumped back and forth between the roof and the street, and its agile movements were completely unaffected by the dark night. They have mobility and night vision unmatched by humans, and even their brutal desires are incomparable to ordinary monsters. The dim street lights can only illuminate their shadows, and the moonless night is the stage for them to commit adultery and predation.

The dim streets, the dark ghosts, and the travelers who are regarded as targets, have no time to react, and are dragged into the darkness by the monsters hidden in the shadows. With the sound of the first scream, thousands of demons attacked the street.

The adventurers on the street looked at the sudden appearance of the monster army, the innkeeper who responded panicked and closed the store door, but the traveler who had fallen asleep was awakened by the sound of breaking the window...chaos, It began to spread across the streets of Hot Spring Township.

"Oh, it's really a grand welcome ceremony..."

On the roof of a certain hotel, looking down at the chaotic scene of the street below, the purple-haired Ji Yao murmured like this.

"Send this kind of thing, so you don't want to meet with us, um... the ghost mother of Redstone?"

Ming Ye shook his hand gently, and a drop of black blood dripped down the lush white fingers, into the muddy blood below.

The blood stain comes from the corpses of the ghosts, or more precisely, from the corpses of dozens of ghosts lying on the roof of the hotel. These demons secretly sneaked into the hotel and killed the innkeeper and all the tourists. However, at the price, they also turned into pieces of meat at this time, laying on the roof of the hotel.

The black blood of the demon, mixed with broken flesh and blood, dripped down the eaves like rain.

In this purgatory scene, Ji Yao stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and yawned long, showing the appearance of lack of sleep.

Suddenly there was a noisy noise from the street below, Ji Yao looked over in annoyance, and saw a group of travelers being chased by a large group of demons and fleeing on the street. Among the travelers are a few adventurers with weapons, but more are unarmed tourists. The travelers screamed and fleeed, and dozens of demons screamed for hunting, just like wolves waiting for the opportunity to speak, chasing their prey and chasing after the travelers.

The demons didn't wait long. A woman holding a child was suddenly tripped and was thrown out of the fleeing team. Ji Yao looked bored at the scene below, thinking that the mother and son would become the first prey of the demons, but to her surprise, someone in the fleeing team stopped. Looking back at the woman holding her child desperately calling for help, then ran back hesitantly.

Those who ran back were three adventurers holding weapons. Although they were shivering, they still stood in front of the mother and son. Ming Ye blinked, and felt that the three of them seemed familiar.

"Heh, I didn't expect to meet old people in this kind of place..." Mingye, who was planning to go hunting, changed his mind slightly.

"Well, it's a rare opportunity, let's watch a good show first..."

※※※

For the trio of fools who call themselves the "True Brave Group", these days should be the days when the time has come.

They have always been mixed up with little desires, and recently joined the team of adventurers to raid the Frost Palace. Although the Dragon Nest Raiders finally ended in the failure of the adventurers, under the blessing of fate, the three of them became one of the few lucky ones who profited from it—due to the early release of the traps along the way by someone, three Man was able to successfully break into the depths of the maze of the Deep Red Corridor, and found the treasure hidden by the maids of the Demon Race, which was regarded as a big windfall.

After leaving the Dragon Nest Labyrinth, the three negotiated to arrive at Tieyan Mountain. One is to use the effect of hot springs to heal the fatigue accumulated in the adventure, and second, to take the opportunity to choose a few weapons made by dwarves. With this thought, the three spent about two days in the hot spring town. While enjoying the hot spring treatment, they also heard a lot of rumors about demons. The three people who didn't want to be involved in trouble, originally planned to leave Tieyan Mountain tomorrow, who knows that people are not as good as the sky, but when they are shopping proudly with the newly updated equipment, a huge army of demons suddenly comes to the door. .

The three people who were scared to death by the army of demons and ghosts followed the travelers to flee in a panic, but because they couldn't abandon their conscience, they fell into an unprecedented crisis.

"Boss, love, the situation is not so good..."

The second child, Xia De, held the hundred-mile steel gun worth three hundred lien, and said to the boss Ed in a trembling voice.

"Crap... nonsense, I know it's not good..."

Boss Ed was standing on his right side, and the steel sword that was damaged in the slime crit was replaced with a silver sword with a demon-breaking effect, but there was no domineering voice in his voice.

"Please... please don't worry, they can't hurt you unless you step over our bodies..."

The youngest Hurd pulled the black copper alloy bow behind them, comforting the mother and son who were hugging together behind them. However, neither the comforter nor the comforted person have any confidence in this sentence.

With the faint light of the street lamp overhead, countless dark figures can be seen scattered around them. Greedy and cruel sight flashed in the eyes of the demons, and from the invisible darkness in the distance, there was a creepy growl. On one side is an army of hundreds of demons, and on the other side is only three armed adventurers. The overwhelming power gap between the two sides shattered any chance of luck. The child cried in fear in his mother's arms, which suppressed the atmosphere of the scene to despair.

The demons let out a joking low growl, did not put the weapons in the hands of Ed and the others at all, narrowed the encirclement step by step, and forced the three of them to the corner.

"Boss, it's not good to go on like this..." The second child Xia De's forehead was already full of cold sweat.

"I, of course I know..." The silver sword held by the boss Ed was tight and tight.

"Boss, I haven't thought about the last words yet..." The third oldest Hurd said with a sad face.

"Asshole... asshole! Don't say such unambitious words!" Taking the opportunity of reprimanding Hurd, Ed seemed to be a little bit more aggressive, but it was obviously used in the wrong direction.

"Damn it! Is this our retribution for good deeds! Gods and so on are already blind!"

"...Don't curse the gods casually, idiot."

There was a weak sigh on their heads, and the three of them subconsciously looked up, only to see a shadow with blue hair and silver armor leaping from the street lamp and falling lightly in front of them.

"You...you are!" Ed yelled out as if he had caught a life-saving straw. "Evil-eyed Miko!"

"...Do you want to see Sylvia?"

Sylvia is the goddess of life who is in charge of "reincarnation" among the six pillar gods. It is said that after death, each person's soul will return to Sylvia's embrace, where he will be reincarnated and reincarnated after washing away the dirt contaminated by the mortal world. World-In other words, Miranda's words are translated as "Do you want to die?"

"Ah, no... the little ones don't mean that! Absolutely, absolutely nothing!"

Recalling the power of the evil-eyed witch that had wiped out the monster army in Lanlos Town with a blow, Ed was sweating and shook his head like a rattle.

"Hmph, you guys are still the same lackluster..." Miranda commented on the dumb trio, then her eyes fell on the mother and son behind the trio, her tone softened a bit.

"But, it's a little bit of progress, right?"

"…what?"

"Keep guarding them, these guys leave it to me to deal with."

The witch who said this, pulled out the holy silver thorn sword on her waist, and walked towards the monster army without fear.

"You... do you plan to deal with so many monsters alone?"

The idiot trio stared at the miko's folly. In terms of common sense, no matter how powerful an adventurer is, it is impossible for him to be an enemy of hundreds of monsters at the same time. Not to mention, such a moonless night is still the best battlefield for demons. In terms of conditions and quantity, Miranda is at an overwhelming disadvantage.

"Don't worry, just vent a little... Thanks to someone, this lady has accumulated a lot of grievances recently..."

A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the Duke's daughter, and the tip of the holy silver thorn rose bright thunder light. The crowds of demons and demons not only didn't have the slightest psychological advantage, but were frightened and panicked by the miko's divine power mixed with private grievances.

As the witch approached step by step, the two demons in the front could not bear the pressure of the divine power, and roared towards Miranda. The demon has the power of action beyond the reach of human beings. Under the dim light, the dark figure seems to transform into a nightmare that the naked eye can't catch, and rushes to Miranda in an instant.

The sharp claws of the demon drew a sharp cutting line in the darkness, but only hit the phantom of the witch. Miranda, who appeared behind the demon with the wind, gently swung down the holy silver sword, and a slender cut appeared on the necks of the two demon at the same time. Following the black blood ejected from the wound, she wailed and fell to the ground.

Seeing their companions killed, the demons let out an angry roar. The advantage of a large number of people and the anger of the same enemy overwhelmed the fear of divine might for a time.

The demons roared and rushed towards Miranda, but the witch unexpectedly leaped high, flipped her body lightly like a swallow, cut off a certain demon's chest with a sword, and stepped on its corpse. Falling into a group of demons and ghosts—this kind of behavior is like putting oneself in an enemy's encirclement deliberately. Taking advantage of this short gap, Miranda launched a magical technique of destruction.

"My god! Please listen to the prayer of your ears...drop the thunder of purifying evil!"

The thunder of Albers tore through the night. With the witch as the center, dozens of demons around were blasted into powder by the thunder. Before the demons could react, the witch had already swung the thunder-light holy silver sword and entered the camp of the monsters, and the dark chaos began.

The precious jade on the maiden's forehead exudes a brilliant divine light, which is a sign of the activation of the magical power "Cang Zhiyan" on the forehead. This magical power will give the surgeon the ability to read the flow of air, and then grasp the overall situation around him-in other words, whether it is the darkness where you can't see your fingers, or the blind corners of invisible objects behind you, Miranda at this time It is no longer a hindrance. The irony is that the ghosts who were best at fighting in the dark were dragged into the fighting rhythm of the witch.

Under the chaotic siege of the demons, Miranda closed her eyes and raised her concentration to the limit.

Every roar, every swipe, the trajectory of movement, and the gap between chaotic battles of the demons, with the help of the magical power "Cang Conscious Eyes", appeared like a bright mirror in the world of witches' perception. Miranda wandered into the slits of darkness and sharp claws with superb movements and footwork. Every swing of the holy silver sword in her hand would bring up the wailing of one or two demons.

The superiority in numbers did not bring victory to the demons, and the chaos in the dark lasted less than ten minutes. When the Duke's daughter nailed the last demon to the wall from behind, the local encounter came to an end. Looking around, there are densely packed corpses of monsters and ghosts lined up on the street. About half of them were pierced to death by the Holy Silver Sword, and the other half were directly annihilated under Albers's divine thunder.

"Huh..." Miranda exhaled happily, put away the sword and walked towards Ed and the others, but stopped on the way, frowning unhappily.

"Hey, why do you guys look at me with that kind of ghostly eyes?"
