Sera shook her head, "No, not many. I just killed two."
Emily and Lily weren't surprised because while fighting they were paying attention to one another, unlike Pauline, who was single mindedly fighting.
"Eh?!" Pauline was started. She gave her a strange look and asked, "Then why do you look so happy?"
"Because I learned a lot from them." Sera said, looking satisfied. But then her face fell, "I wanted to continue fighting them, but they beca weaker after a while. After killing them, I wanted to find soone else to fight but there was no demon left."
"Oh, I understand. Very good, Little Sera." Pauline smiled, hiding a twitch of her lips.
"It was your first ti killing soone, right?" Lily asked, rembering her first kill, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Sera smiled, "No sister Lily. I have killed before. So, I feel fine now."
Even as she said this, a disgusted and sad look appeared on her face. Despite knowing she hadn't done anything wrong, she didn't like the fact she had taken soone's life.
Lily beca concerned and wanted to comfort her, but Max stopped her with a look. It was important that she thought about it and overca it on her own.
"Alright, let's rest. We have no ti to waste."
…
Ten minutes soon passed and the group resud the journey.
Everyone was more tense this ti, and was constantly looking around.
To their relief, they encountered no demons for the next two hours. Everyone started relaxing a little, and since they were already tired from fighting, the fast paced journey and the tension made them exhausted, which made them a lot less vigilant.
Wyomin, noticing this, waved her hand toward the crowd.
Swoosh!
Droplets of water appeared in the sky before falling down on everyone with unerring accuracy, not one drop fell on the ground and was wasted.
"What's this? Rain?"
Everyone was startled for a mont.
"It's lady Wyomin's spell." Soone shouted.
"Is she worried we will fall asleep while walking?" A woman who was very exhausted, sneered in mockery.
However, in the next mont, her eyes widened when the droplets fell on her and her exhaustion rapidly vanished.
…
Sera's eyes shone as the droplets of water touched her and were absorbed into her skin.
"How marvelous!" She muttered, seeing this kind of water recovery spell for the first ti.
'Will I be able to use my water magic to do the sa one day?' She couldn't help but think.
Just then, Max said, "It's not just Water magic… there is another elent mixed in." "There is Light Elent too." Lily nodded before saying, "To be able to so expertly blend in the Light Elent's rejuvenation properties in her water spell… she must have comprehended either Light or Water law."
"Oh? I won't be able to use it then." Sera said in disappointnt.
Just then, Wyomin's voice sounded in her head.
[You can use it even if you haven't awakened the Light Elent, though it will be a lot harder to do so.]
Hearing the voice, Sera's eyes shone and she instinctively looked in Wyomin' direction.
Max and others, noticing this, realized she must have received a ntal communication from her.
"Did that Lady Emperor talk to you just now, Little Sera? What did she say?" Pauline asked in excitent.
Lily and Emily also looked at her. Unlike them, however, Max wasn't happy.
From the excited glint in her eyes, he could tell Wyomin had told her sothing good, but he would rather she did not talk to her. Or anyone else from his group for that matter.
At least not until they were strong enough to protect themselves even against an Emperor Mage like her. Until then, he didn't want any attention on them.
Though he wished that, after their performance in the battle two hours ago, he knew Alton and Wyomin had already noticed them. Not to ntion his and Lily's display of strength, just Sera and Emily's Superior Mana Control was more than enough to attract their attention after all.
'Hope this doesn't cause any problems.' He sighed,
"She… Lady Wyomin just told it isn't necessary to possess the Light Elent to use this spell. Just the Water elent will do." Sera explained, excited.
Everyone was surprised when they heard this, but not too much as they had heard of the elental spells like this one. However, they weren't too popular because it was too hard to master them for obvious reasons.
"Since she told this, it must an I can find this spell in the War Temple…" She muttered, "I wonder how many War rits I would need to buy it…" She infused her will into the rit Plate and her excitent faded.
[600 War rits]
"Don't worry too much about rits, sister Sera." Lily smiled, "There will be more than enough demons for you to kill and gain the required rits. And even if that isn't enough, I, young master and sister Emily can let you borrow ours."
Max smiled while Emily nodded.
Pauline also chid in, "You can have mine too, Little Sera. I probably won't need too many of them anyway."
Sera felt her heart warming, but just as she was about to respond to them…
"Enemies Ahead! Get ready!"
Alton's warning sounded.
Imdiately, everyone beca alert and their gaze focused on the path ahead where in the distance they saw a large horde of red-haired and red-eyed humanoid demons rushing toward them.
"So many!" Sera exclaid while everyone else's expressions hardened when they realized this horde had way more demons than the last one–around two to three thousand.
Just a while ago, to kill just over a thousand, over five hundred of them had fallen and it was when the demon side was heavily outnumbered.
This ant, even if the strength of this horde was similar to the last one, they would lose around two or three tis more people.
"This is going to be dangerous." Max muttered before saying, "Rember to stay close to , alright? Until I say so, don't go too far."
"Yes." Lily, Sera and Emily nodded.
Pauline looked at him and worriedly asked, "What about ? If I stay near you, you'll protect too, right?"
"I will." Max nodded before saying, "However, I don't think you will stay near us." "No. I will not rush away this ti." Pauline staunchly said,
"Alright then."
By the ti they finished talking, the demon horde was only around half a mile away from them and this distance was rapidly closing.
Boom!
When both sides clashed a while later, the demons arrived in Max's bloodline sense' range. When he felt their cultivation level, his expression changed for the worse.
Unlike the last ti, this ti almost twenty percent of the demons were in the Five Star realm and several of them were peak Five Star, sothing the human side only had a few dozen.
He told the ladies about his find and their expression grew dignified. Fuller Family's group and so other people around them also overheard him and they began to panic.
"Is what you said true? There are several hundred Five Star demons in this horde?" Boom!
