Chapter 309: Being Yourself in the Fog (Part 2)

“Demon Humans?” The Hero of the Gale and Bemore looked bewildered. “What kind of people are those?”

Samimi was speechless. Did she really have to explain the basic setting from the beginning?

She waved her hand, silently giving the command.

Everyone immediately entered combat mode, ducking into a forked hollow among the tree roots. They positioned themselves with their backs against the massive tree, adopting a defensive stance without recklessly charging forward.

Although there were various conflicts among these five, and they had even fought each other fiercely before, they now cooperated seamlessly.

Because times had changed.

For the beautiful maidens of the new era—

Teaming up was, in itself, a kind of innate talent skill.

Once they formed a team, they could unleash power exceeding one hundred percent.

Looking back, the main reason those pig-headed girls before hadn’t recognized their own strength was largely because they were tripped up by this “hidden setting.”

Aside from the yandere elf Close, whose brain was genuinely problematic, the others were actually fairly normal.

We could be good at nothing, but we must team up.

Because teaming up was the starting point of all grudges, affections, and enmities.

Unfortunately, although the transmigrator Samimi had read countless light novels and was well-versed in the tropes of power fantasy stories, her understanding of this “Lily Teamwork Flow” was only superficial.

She only knew about “Lily Maidens,” but she didn’t know what “Lily Maidens Teaming Up” truly meant—

It meant a new, ill-fated entanglement was about to be born.

But now wasn’t the time to think about that.

At the moment, everyone was cooperating smoothly, and the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.

If the Twin Heroes dared to come—

These five could pin them to the ground and utterly crush them.

Samimi began a rapid explanation:

“Demon Humans… they are like this and that… and so on and so forth…”

She also briefly mentioned her and Fabiana’s encounter.

Of course, she didn’t forget to casually slander the Pure White Knight—saying she pretended compliance but resisted in secret, and didn’t carry out her mission properly.

That wasn’t even an exaggeration.

Aside from Niubao, the other three frowned after listening.

“Simply put, Demon Humans are a type of humanoid Magic Beast that can use magic and possesses intelligence,” Samimi summarized. “The Magic Sword Red we need to deal with is a Demon Human.”

“They usually combine magic and close combat; you can think of them as magic swordsmen.”

She also revealed a little bit of information about Red.

In theory, she shouldn’t know this.

But the situation was urgent, so she could only leak a little.

“Just like you?” Bemore suddenly asked.

“What do you mean?” Samimi frowned.

“Aren’t you the one who loves using magic for close combat the most?” Bemore teased.

“…” Samimi fell silent for a moment. “I won’t do that anymore.”

“Why?” Bemore pressed.

Samimi didn’t answer, just glanced at The Hero of the Gale.

After being thoroughly beaten last time, her “Draw Sword Addiction” had been cured.

The World’s difficulty was increasing.

No matter how intense the PvP was before, no one would die; everyone still observed some Martial Virtue.

But now—

This was PvE, a life-and-death struggle.

If she got reckless one more time, she might lose her life.

“The conditions for a Demon Human’s birth are extremely harsh. Their numbers are few, but each one is an Elite,” Samimi said gravely. “We must be very careful.”

As soon as the words left her mouth—

Figures flashed within the white mist!

Five figures suddenly leaped out from among the ancient trees!

Everyone instantly went on high alert.

Their opponents resembled humans in form, yet everything about them felt eerie and wrong.

The five lined up in a row, standing on the massive roots, coldly sizing them up.

Both sides stood in confrontation.

No one made the first move.

Bemore’s hands were already on her staff, ready to act at any moment.

She could clearly sense—

The magical power within their opponents.

These five guys…

Were all Magic Users!

Even Samimi’s expression completely changed.

She had just been talking about how “Demon Humans are rare.”

And now—

Five arrived at once!

And all of them were mature forms.

She remembered the first Demon Human she had seen, half-human, half-ghost, deformed and grotesque.

But these ones now—

Were almost indistinguishable from humans.

They just retained some non-human features.

Pale white skin, black long hair, blue pupils.

Both males and females, with varying builds.

But those blue eyes—

They shone with a cold, magical light, as if they could see through a person’s heart.

“Those two pigs… emit the same aura as us,” a Loli Demon spoke up.

“It can talk!” Serina exclaimed.

“Don’t panic,” Samimi pressed down on her shoulder. “Follow the training.”

“Front line, hold steady. Be ready for combat at any moment.”

Serina raised her shield in front.

Niubao and The Hero of the Gale took the middle.

The Mage and the Divine Official provided support from the rear.

The formation was instantly set.

“Interesting,” the Lead Maiden Demon at the front sneered. “Are they the Magic Users? The people I killed before mentioned them.”

“Will eating them make us stronger?” the Youth Demon asked coldly.

“Definitely a great supplement,” the Lead Maiden Demon licked her lips.

“Kill!” the Brawny Demon roared.

In just those few sentences, Samimi had already seen through their personalities.

A standard villain template.

An innocent yet cruel loli, a cold-blooded maiden, a pretentious youth, a brainless brawny man, and one Silent-Type Role.

Stereotypical to the extreme.

The most outrageous thing was—

They actually dared to trash-talk them?

Could she tolerate that?

…Alright, even if she couldn’t tolerate it, she had to.

They weren’t human; they had no emotions. Insulting them was useless.

Then—

They’d just take action directly.

“[Hero-Exclusive Attack Enhancement: Formula Combination].”

Samimi had already begun chanting.

This was her answer.

The Hero of the Gale only felt a familiar yet strange power surge into her body.

Her expression—

Slightly trembled.
