Extremely uneasy.
Continuing to walk down the silent corridor, it was too quiet, making one’s heart crawl with unease.
Unfortunately, the three’s intelligence was limited, and they didn’t notice many of the traces left at the scene.
For example, there were many deep footprints on the ground, which suddenly disappeared after about a meter.
Also, the walls occasionally had many dirty marks, as if demonic creature blood or body tissue was stuck to them.
Yin Lin saw them but didn’t think much of it.
Jin Luan saw them and just found it disgusting, also not thinking much.
Huan Hong also saw them, thought the demonic creature’s strength was impressive, and then didn’t delve deeper.
So why were some footprints especially deep, several centimeters in depth, and why did they disappear after a few steps?
None of the three sisters thought about these questions.
Yin Lin activated her shield and also set up a wind wall in front of her, leaving only a small head exposed.
Huan Hong and Jin Luan hadn’t activated their shields yet and had no other means of self-defense, so they could only heighten their vigilance.
They were about to walk out of the dormitory corridor.
Just then, a very faint mana signature suddenly came from behind them.
The three immediately turned around.
At such close range, they could all sense it.
And they happened to see an unbelievable sight.
At the spot they had just passed, a tall figure appeared—it was an Intermediate Evil Demon.
‘Holy crap, where did this demon come from?’
They were extremely startled, and the demon seemed startled too—neither had expected the other to appear here.
Since they still didn’t understand the situation, Huan Hong and Jin Luan adopted an evasive stance and dodged quickly.
But the demon’s reaction speed was the fastest.
It launched itself forward, throwing an ordinary punch at them.
With the two dodging, it was Yin Lin’s turn to be in the front line.
The demon pressed its attack, punching Yin Lin’s wind wall, directly shattering it, and also hitting her magic shield, sending her flying with her feet leaving the ground.
Her body collided with Jin Luan who was running away, and then crashed into Huan Hong.
The three sisters rolled out together like bowling balls, looking quite miserable.
This is one reason why magical girls can’t tank damage on the front line.
Weight is a very important factor; if you don’t have enough, you can’t hold your ground.
Even if Yin Lin’s magic shield could withstand the attack, without Super Armor, when fighting the demon, she would be completely controlled and unable to move.
After the three sisters rolled a long distance, Jin Luan and Huan Hong tacitly ran away again, first creating distance to protect themselves.
Yin Lin’s combat experience was still inferior to theirs.
As soon as she stood up, the demon was already in front of her.
A right hook hit her head, slamming her violently into the stone wall beside her, embedding her into it.
Of course, the magic shield was still there, not broken yet, but it had spiderweb cracks and was about to give way.
She cast a new magic shield.
The demon didn’t think too much and punched the wall again.
It punched Yin Lin through that wall into a dormitory room, crashing her into another wall.
The Intermediate Evil Demon chased after her.
Qi Piercing the Rainbow! Rapid Chain Punches into Kunlun Dragon Fist.
A few skill combos were unleashed, sending Yin Lin through six walls from the dormitory corridor to a place resembling a dining hall.
Finally, it followed up with a Hulk grab, like grabbing Loki, and slammed her hard into the ground.
You ask what Huan Hong and Jin Luan were doing?
The two were discussing whether to go investigate that magic source while Yin Lin held the demon’s aggro.
Huan Hong wanted to go, but she was afraid of encountering another such sudden demon and feared she couldn’t beat it, so she wanted Jin Luan to accompany her.
Jin Luan naturally refused, because her darling was getting beaten up, and she couldn’t bear to leave.
The ground was continuously shaking slightly, and a few small stones fell from the sides due to the vibrations.
After some discussion, they decided to take down the demon first and go together as three.
The two reached a consensus, but there was still something to discuss: who would kill the demon.
If Huan Hong went to kill this Intermediate Evil Demon, she might lose 30% of her mana.
If Jin Luan went, she would probably lose 10% of her mana.
The dungeon was still shaking continuously, and the demon was roaring.
“I’m not going. If I go, what if we encounter another Intermediate or Senior Demonic Entity later? If I have to face it alone, I’d probably only barely win after using up all my mana. I can’t waste mana now.”
Huan Hong was reluctant to use MP.
Jin Luan was also a bit reluctant:
“Your mana is useless anyway. If you use it now, and later there’s a Senior Demonic Entity, my mana can be more efficient.”
Huan Hong: “Then if a demon targets me later, what then? Without mana, I’ll just be waiting to die?”
Jin Luan: “You running out of mana is better than me running out. If you’re out, I can still fight a Senior Demonic Entity; if I’m out, neither of us can win. Do you know math? Did you pass math?”
Just then, the ground vibrations stopped, and the demon’s roars also ceased.
Yin Lin walked back from a hole in the wall nearby, her hair and clothes disheveled, her magic shield splattered with green liquid—the blood sprayed by the demon.
Jin Luan and Huan Hong walked over, looked through the hole, and saw the demon pinned to the wall by two Spears of Creation, completely dead.
No more arguing needed.
The three sisters continued walking forward.
Yin Lin deactivated her magic shield, letting the disgusting green blood fall to the ground, then activated a new magic shield.
As she walked, she tidied her messy hair and clothes.
She was becoming more and more concerned about her appearance.
At the end, there was another stone door, impossible to push open—an extra-heavy door exclusive to demons.
They decided to turn back and pass through the place where they had just fought.
They soon reached the half-destroyed dining hall.
How did they know it was a dining hall?
Because there were many humans here.
Humans with 1% completeness, humans with 20% completeness, and the highest was estimated at 50% completeness.
The demonic creatures didn’t seem to intend any torture; it was like humans eating KFC—when hungry, they just tore off a piece and ate.
There were many traces left by such brute force.
Yin Lin took a look, hid to the side and dry-heaved; the smell was too awful.
Ten seconds later, she felt a bit better and wondered if she had seen wrong.
She turned around and took another few looks.
And then she continued dry-heaving.
It turned out she wasn’t mistaken—those were indeed humans, and this was indeed a dining hall.
A strange phenomenon also occurred.
Mana actually came out of Yin Lin’s mouth as she heaved, along with saliva, though it was very faint.
Before she finished heaving, she quickly fled this place.
They continued approaching the place that was emitting the mana signature.
What was that, exactly?
The three were now very curious.
And how had that demon suddenly appeared?
They were equally curious.
Now they were more on guard.
When Yin Lin moved, she first charged up a Spear of Creation and held it ready.
