Chapter 40: Elrose was still on the way.
129 small Goblins, 42 large Goblins, 17 Goblin Mages, and 59 ordinary Ogres.
A total of 247 enemies.
Alicia coldly gazed at the Demon Clan before her, continuously gathering vast amounts of information through the Eye of Truth.
No, not just 247 enemies, but one more.
Alicia’s eyes slightly glanced toward the cave entrance; the man who had ambushed her earlier had entirely vanished.
Alicia wasn’t very clear on how he had discovered her. She had reduced her presence through the Breath Concealment and hidden her form with the Cloak of Invisibility, effectively becoming indistinguishable from the air.
Yet she was still detected.
Now, without the man showing his face, she had to be on guard with whatever he did, which was quite troublesome.
And more troublesome than that…
Ogre Chieftain.
“Roar, interesting.”
While the other weaker demons were intimidated by Alicia’s killing intent, the Ogre Chieftain approached slowly, wielding a massive hammer.
“Though your magic and Battle Qi within are as weak as trash, to possess such killing intent, you must be the woman who chopped off my son’s head with a single strike, right?”
Silence…
Alicia did not answer his question. She had never had any goodwill toward the Demon Clan; her only approach was one—kill.
A breeze blew, forming an invisible, sharp wind blade that rushed toward the Ogre Chieftain’s throat.
On the surface, Alicia appeared to be standing dazed in place, but her attack had silently been initiated.
“Boom!”
The air suddenly exploded as the gale sent those weaker demons tumbling back, their faces filled with confusion.
They didn’t even know what had just happened.
“Beautiful.” The Ogre Chieftain laughed loudly: “The legendary extreme of wind attribute attacks is to completely conceal the form of the attack, killing in silence. I didn’t expect it to be true.”
“Unfortunately, your power is too weak.” The Ogre scratched the spot that had been hit by the wind blade, sneering: “With this level of attack, you don’t even qualify to scratch me.”
“An attack must at least be of this magnitude!”
In the next moment, the Ogre Chieftain’s momentum surged, gripping his massive hammer as he took two strides to stand before Alicia, hammer swinging down.
Alicia’s eyes widened. She knew that, in her current physical state, taking this blow head-on would undoubtedly turn her into mush.
【Wind Step】
Alicia summoned the wind beneath her feet, swiftly dodging out of the attack range of the hammer.
“Boom!”
The massive hammer struck down hard, instantly creating a large pit in the ground, causing the entire cave to tremble twice.
Having evaded the blow, Alicia activated the Cloak of Invisibility again, disappearing from the air.
“Hmm, where is she?” The Ogre Chieftain looked around, but could not see that woman’s figure anywhere.
Had she run away?
So quickly?
Impossible, impossible, she must have used some method to conceal her form.
“Hmph, you like to play hide and seek, do you?”
The Ogre Chieftain sneered, then directly turned around, slowly walking toward the group of human children behind him.
He selected a lucky one and then raised the heavy hammer.
“Bastard!”
Alicia suddenly revealed herself, channeling all her strength to rush in front of that child, raising a magical shield.
“Boom!”
The massive hammer collided violently with the shield, unleashing a terrifying shockwave.
“Eh?” The Ogre Chieftain frowned.
That woman, who was clearly just a level 40 or 50 weakling, had actually taken his blow head-on.
Alicia gritted her teeth, holding up the shield, desperately bracing against the Ogre Chieftain’s hammer.
She couldn’t retreat.
If she did, the child behind her would be instantly crushed into mush.
The flickering electricity on the Cloak of Invisibility danced like tiny snakes, a sign that the magical armor was overloaded and on the brink of collapse.
As an epic-level gear, the Cloak of Invisibility not only had the function of invisibility but also possessed strong defensive capabilities.
Alicia relied on the Cloak of Invisibility to withstand the Ogre Chieftain’s blow.
But this was still not a solution; the magical shield of the Cloak of Invisibility was about to reach its limit.
There was no other way; she had to do it.
Alicia slowly closed her eyes.
“Tia, please lend me your last bit of strength.”
…
Amelia would never forget the day she met her big sister.
The village was attacked, and her father and grandfather were defeated in succession. She and her mother were captured by the Demon Clan and taken to a strange cave.
Then they were separated. Her mother was imprisoned while she, along with other village children, was surrounded by the Demon Clan at the center of the cave.
She didn’t know what these demons intended to do, but her heart was filled with fear, nearly to the point of death.
She desperately prayed for a hero to come and save them.
Then, the big sister appeared.
Just as that ugly, massive monster swung its giant hammer at her, she descended like a savior, appearing before her.
She radiated a dazzling golden light like the sun and sent that ugly demon flying with a single punch.
It was simply breathtaking.
…
“Boom!”
The Ogre Chieftain crashed down hard from the air, the enormous sound echoing throughout the cave.
He violently climbed up from the ground, staring at the woman in a white robe radiating golden light before him, his face filled with disbelief.
That woman had instantly boosted her power several hundred times.
How could this be possible?!
“Hah, hah…”
Alicia breathed heavily, her body temperature rising rapidly as visible heat surged around her.
Golden scales slowly appeared, and Alicia suddenly opened her eyes, revealing blazing vertical pupils like molten lava.
【Dragon Transformation】
On the day of the meteor’s fall, Calandia left her last treasure for herself, the purest dragon blood filtered through her lips.
At this moment, Alicia unleashed all the power contained within that dragon blood.
The terrifying pressure of the Golden Sacred Dragon descended instantly, causing hundreds of demons to kneel on the ground, losing their ability to move.
————————-
Skill: Dragon Might.
Effect: Forces enemy units below level 50 into a state of paralysis.
————————-
Alicia’s eyes widened, filled with killing intent.
Earlier, she had planned to avoid combat as much as possible, using tactics to bring the villagers to safety.
But when the Ogre Chieftain attacked that little girl, she realized that the only way to bring the villagers back unharmed was to completely eliminate the Demon Clan before her.
Alicia drew her dagger and cut into her skin.
Blood flowed onto the blade, instantly igniting into golden flames, lighting the dagger.
“Come on, you ugly demons; today, we fight to the death.”
…
Elrose landed on a quiet mountain ridge, stamping her feet hard against the ground.
According to the map, she had successfully found Linshire Village within the realm of Kranya.
But a national map wouldn’t mark villages.
Elrose could only attempt to find Linshire Village based on her memory.
Then she got lost.
Elrose held her head, looking perplexed.
Aahhh!!!
So frustrating!!!
Where is this?
Where is Linshire Village?!
