The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 268: The Difficulties of Medan Festival
At the same time, Eve jumped towards the large staircase at the entrance of the ruins. Using the momentum of the strong wind he directly left the scene.
(Guh, my leg!?)
However, the intense pain suddenly flared up once again. The paralytic poison seems to be really influential right now. However, he could not stop.
If he failed to utilize this surprise attack to escape, there might not be another chance for him to escape.
"I won't let you escape. Arrest him, demon tree spirit «Titania»!"
Amidst the clouds of sand and dust, many vines chased Eve.
* ᛇ ᛈ ᛉ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛖ ᛚ ᛜ ᛞ ᛟ ᛗ ᛚᛜ ᛞ ᛟ *
"Tsk, the evil wind, go and rampage!"
Looking back, Eve immediately swung «Ray Hawk». The released wind bar directly cut through the vines.
"That kind of thing..."
However, the spirit vines of the demon tree instantly regenerated. Then split into groups, they attacked as if trying to snare Eve's body.
*ᚠ ᚢᚱ ᚲ ᚷ ᚠᚢ ᚦ ᚨ ᚱ ᚲ ᚹᚺ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛈ ᛉ ᛋ *
"I am a witch racing across the blue sky, «Air Wing»!"
Just as she was about to be captured by the vines' prison, Eve cast magic for high-speed flight.
Instantly releasing the wind that gathered around his feet, he flew as fast as he could to somewhere near the ceiling of the large hall.
(The attack range of the demon tree spirit was supposed to be limited. I will use this opportunity to escape to the outside!)
Just as Eve thought that to herself. Amidst the cloud of dust that obscured the view, something flashed.
(A knife!?)
Eve frantically tried to dodge, but it was impossible to adjust one's posture quickly in the air. The blade grazed his chest protector, producing a loud metallic sound.
(That missed? No. whoa.)
Suddenly, a killing intent could be felt coming from above Eve in flight.
"What?!" Gazing at the collapsed ceiling, Eve fell silent.
Holding the knife with the handle upside down, the girl kicked the ceiling surface and descended quickly.
(Did he use magic «Flight» too!? No, that's impossible!)
The spirit of the demon tree was undoubtedly an earth attribute minion. System under earth attribute should not contain magic «Flight».
"Take this!" Eve hurriedly turned «Ray Hawk» and used her hilt to block the knife attack.
"How naive. Stale and ancient knight battle technique." The girl used a spear rod as a crutch to make the jump.
Once again, he kicked the ceiling to reverse its direction quickly and unleashed a sharper slash.
(This type of movement!?)
Eve suddenly realized it. They are very similar to Kaizo's. Different from normal combat skills, they involved uncontrollable three-dimensional movements in various forms.
"Could this be the same as Kaizo?!"
"Yes? It'll be a bit harsh for him."
At that very instant, the pierced blade directly made a shallow slash on Eve's arm. His own injuries were not critical, but soon a great pain spread throughout his body like an electric current.
"Ooh, uh!"
Utilizing this momentary opening, many vines held Eve's entire body, binding her into a bundle and dragging her along the ground.
"A, guh!"
Sharp thorns tore through Eve's tight clothes and embedded into her flesh, completely rendering her unable to move. Completely losing her freedom, Eve watched the demon tree spirit user land quietly.
"Number Seven of «Instructional School», «Venom», Lina Flame."
"First, I'll start by throwing you away."
The vines that ensnared Eve's body all moved together.

POV: Tiana Von
_____________________________________
In a small alley in an abandoned town where the trees grow crooked and deformed, a girl's scream is heard, "Ti-tidaaaaaak!"
Tiana desperately escaped from the ever-growing «Forsaken Spirits». Frightening shadow arms reached out towards him from all directions.
"Don't you dare touch me so easily, the only one who can touch me is Kaizo!"
As he quickly gestured and shouted defense magic, the ghosts pulled their hands as if out of fear. However, faced with the rapidly growing lineup of «Forsaken Spirits», this effort means nothing but a drop of water.
Making them shaken for just a moment, in the blink of an eye, the number of ghosts further increased and continued to chase.
"«Deus El Machina», I command you to slash all that is disobedient!"
The knight spirit quietly followed the orders of the imperial princess. Holding the holy sword with both hands, he exterminated the ghosts that were swarming before him in a single slash.
Taking advantage of the opportunity from the open path for a moment, Tiana ran out. From a while ago, it kept repeating.
"This really isn't the time to get stuck in a place like this!"
Holding a strategic role in the team, it is more important for Tiana to meet her teammates more than anyone else.
Alone, it is impossible to extract the true value of a powerful elemental weapon «Save Ratu». Moreover, he was the only person on the team who could use true healing magic.
Suddenly at this time, the «Forsaken Spirits» occupying the area suddenly stopped moving.
"W-what?"
A strange silence descended. It was like the calm before the storm. Immediately, a terrifying roar shook the atmosphere, causing the ground to shake.
"Well!"
The tremors caused the sand and dust that had accumulated in the ground to blow. In response, the knight spirit quickly prepared his shield and protected Tiana from the flying rubble.
(What a powerful divine power!)
It was a bone-chilling feeling of terror. Tiana looked up towards that roar. Then, in the middle of the abandoned city, a huge pillar of fire appeared. The pillar of fire that reached the sky, swept away all the surrounding debris.
(That thing, what is it?)
Although she was quite far away from it, Tiana could still feel the heat burning her skin.
"Spirit fire?"
It's not the spirit of Victoria's hell Salamander. It was an even more terrifying flame, a demonic flame that destroyed all existences.
Tiana held her breath and gazed in that direction only to see a huge fire pillar that gradually changed its shape after a while.
Spewing out flames continuously, it was a torso that resembled black lava. The eyes were like a high-temperature furnace, red lights flashing, as smoke came out endlessly from the mouth.
Clutching his hand was a huge fire whip. It was, in essence, a vicious demon.
"The designated military spirit to be sealed, «Vilar»!"
Tiana has seen this appearance in the source material of «Divine Ritual Obsession» before.
The demon fire spirits were sent to battle towards the end of the Vinral War. However, it was reported to be too unstable and was re-sealed and abandoned after being used twice.
