"Stop hitting, stop hitting! I'm going to die if you keep hitting me!" On the hillside, Enjou saw that they were already some distance from the entangled Abyss Fire, and immediately started to give up.
He turned off his element shield, covered his head with both hands, and shivered on the ground. This Damselette, though seemingly young, was truly powerful.
Not only was she strong, but her attacks were also vicious. After seeing the huge red bump on Enka's head, Enjou decisively chose to surrender.
If he didn't surrender now, he would really be beaten to death!
"Stop hitting me, I'm an undercover agent, Big Sister!" Enjou saw Lumine raise her dull sword, ready to continue beating him, and immediately revealed his undercover identity.
Damn it, the dull sword was clearly a training weapon for beginners, so how could it be so powerful in this Damselette's hands!
"You are..." Paimon was about to shout, but she remembered the scene just now, covered her mouth again, and then quietly floated over to Enjou, whispering:
"Are you really an undercover agent?"
"Absolutely!" Enjou said, then took out a blank piece of paper and began to scribble on it.
Soon, Enjou finished his new "masterpiece." He turned the white paper over and handed it to Lumine and Paimon to look at.
Lumine took the paper and saw that it was a stick figure with a... an eggplant floating next to it?
"Hey! Is there something wrong with your eyes!" Paimon saw her likeness on the white paper and immediately stomped her foot in anger.
Lumine was still a stick figure, so why had she become an eggplant? That wasn't even close to being human!
"I draw by feeling," Enjou responded to Paimon's question with a straight face.
For him, looking at humans was like humans looking at Abyss Mages; he couldn't tell who was who at all.
For example, when Enjou looked at Lumine and Paimon, he was actually looking at two identical people, one larger and one smaller, and the smaller one could fly.
For Enjou to remember humans, they either had to have a deeply impressive personality or sufficiently obvious characteristics.
Clearly, Yu Jin perfectly met both of these criteria, which is why Yu Jin was the human Enjou remembered most vividly.
"Now you believe I'm an undercover agent, right!" Enjou said, then as if suddenly noticing something strange, he shook his head and corrected himself: "No! I'm not an undercover agent, I'm just temporarily cooperating with you humans to eliminate the pests of The Order!"
"Yes, yes, yes, not an undercover agent, not an undercover agent!" Lumine and Paimon nodded like chickens pecking rice. How could an undercover agent admit to being an undercover agent?
"Are they undercover agents too?" Lumine leaned over, looked at the other Abyss Mages lying sprawled out beside them, and asked.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh! We are too!" Enka, Ensa, and Enyu immediately stood up and nodded quickly, afraid that if they were late, Lumine would deal with them.
"What undercover agents, we are the hope of The Order!" Enjou saw his companions again claiming to be undercover agents and immediately corrected them.
"Oh, got it." x3
The others responded faintly. Enjou had said this many times, and their ears were practically calloused from hearing it.
"By the way, do you have names?" Lumine looked at the four characters, who were like living treasures, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Enjou." The fiery red Abyss Mage looked helpless.
"I'm Enka!" The purple Abyss Mage was extremely excited.
"I... I'm Ensa." The light blue Abyss Mage was a bit shy.
"Enyu." The icy white Abyss Mage was indifferent.
"We are..." The Abyss Mages began to arrange themselves according to their names. Then they said in unison: "Abyss!"
"Wow! So amazing!" Paimon's eyes had turned into stars. She looked at Enjou and the others, who were in neat poses, and clapped her small hands continuously.
As Lumine watched the scene before her, her eyelids involuntarily began to twitch. Was this really not a dream?
Was there something wrong with the Abyss Mages in front of her?
..."Scatter!" Wind swirled around the rapier. Jean thrust her sword, releasing the long-accumulated wind pressure. Violent gales howled in the space, no larger than a single person, shredding everything within.
"Damn it!" The strong wind in front of him interrupted Abyss Fire's spellcasting. Abyss Fire felt the chaotic element energy surging within his body and couldn't help but feel a burst of anger.
These two guys in front of him, one was extremely agile, always seizing the opportunity to stick close to him; while the other waited for an opening, and each strike left a significant wound on him.
Abyss Fire shook off the blood dripping from his fingers. The blood, as thick as mud, hissed with corrosion as soon as it touched the ground.
He took a deep breath, knowing that if he dragged this on any longer, he would undoubtedly lose. Abyss Fire scanned his surroundings, looking for any turning point on Enjou's side.
If Enjou and his group could successfully deal with that golden-haired Damselette, perhaps they could still defeat these two humans with his cooperation.
However, when Abyss Fire saw Enjou and the other three "beaten" into scurrying, head-clutching messes by Lumine, he suddenly felt his courage wane.
"Useless!" Abyss Fire cursed under his breath. He now knew he couldn't win this battle.
So, there was only one option left—escape!
Abyss Herald-level monsters are not considered top-tier in terms of combat power. But in terms of how troublesome they are, few can compare to them.
After all, they can open an Abyss Passage at any time, coming and going as they please.
If someone were to pursue them, not to mention the risk of forbidden contamination within the Abyss Passage, they could also directly change the location of the passage.
Only members of The Order could perfectly control the connection points of the Abyss Passage. As for anyone else who entered the Abyss Passage, they would have to pray for good fortune.
Abyss Fire extended one hand backward, his palm open, and a deep spatial rift appeared before everyone's eyes.
The space inside the Abyss Passage was unexpectedly beautiful, with specks of starlight emanating from it, appearing magnificent.
But the Abyss Fire next to him, so different from humans, shattered this beauty. Diluc and Jean snapped out of their surprise. They saw Abyss Fire's body drilling into the Abyss Passage and immediately realized something was wrong.
Whatever this monster of the Abyss wanted to do, they couldn't let him succeed!
"God of Wind, guide me!" Seeing that she couldn't catch up, Jean decisively raised the Favonius Sword to her chest with both hands.
Anemo element power gathered on the Favonius Sword, dyeing the blade a dazzling azure. The blessing of the wind descended upon Jean.
A thousand winds surged. The enemies of the wind would be torn by the wind, the companions of the wind would have their wounds gently soothed by the wind, and the wind would carry everything away!
Diluc felt his body recovering rapidly, knowing time was short. He raised his greatsword again and swung it forcefully.
"Hereby—Judgment!" The same fiery bird as before erupted! Flames intertwined with the Dandelion Breeze. The roar of a thousand winds instantly transformed into scorching blazing flames.
"Hmph..." Abyss Fire, with half his body already inside the Abyss Passage, let out a muffled grunt. Jean's Dandelion Field almost instantly enveloped his body.
Under the tearing of a thousand winds, his robes were already in tatters. Countless small wounds continuously oozed blood.
In this situation, if he were to be hit by Diluc's fiery bird again, he would likely be in grave danger.
But Abyss Fire looked at the fiery bird rushing towards him, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. No matter how his fiery wings flared, they ultimately couldn't touch him.
Abyss Fire walked into the Abyss Passage under the watchful eyes of everyone. However, very quickly, the Abyss Passage seemed to vomit him out.
"Boom!" The explosive sound of the fiery bird echoed across the small hillside. In the Sky, Abyss Fire's blasted figure was still soaring.
Enjou and the others nearby, seeing this, couldn't help but shrink their heads. The staffs in their hands gradually dimmed—the previous anomaly was their doing.
"I'm sorry, I want to be a good person," Enjou muttered to himself, looking in the direction where Abyss Fire landed.
