CHAPTER 1120: CHAPTER 830: LET ME DEAL WITH THE TRUE CULPRIT

Of course, they were able to hold out until now, also thanks to the third person present.

No, not a person.

To be correct, the other party is a demon.

"[Hellfire]."

Just then, Lilith single-handedly stopped most of the magical puppets, her delicate hand pointed out, prompting the black flames to surge.

This seemingly harmless black fire caused each of the magical puppets to feel as if they had encountered a natural enemy, making them afraid to attack rashly. They could only engage in guerrilla warfare around Lilith, distracting her and preventing her from helping Yuri and the others.

"Tch..."

Lilith instantly clicked her tongue, her eyes faintly revealing a trace of annoyance.

The task given to her by Reiger was to come to the Flenzel residence and protect Yuri and Marilyn.

This was just in case.

Reiger knew very well, that mad dog would use absolutely any means to deal with him.

Just like when he once kidnapped the original’s family to threaten him, to deal with Reiger, Solok was by all means without restraint.

So, upon learning of Solok’s disappearance, Reiger immediately sent Lilith to Yuri’s side, making Lilith responsible for protecting Yuri.

After all, everyone in the royal capital knew well that Marquis Flenzel had a deep relationship with Reiger. If one were to capture a hostage to threaten him, this young marquis would undoubtedly be a very suitable target.

Perhaps this is also the reason why the magical puppets appeared here?

"Fortunately, I was not late."

With this thought flashing through his mind, Reiger immediately activated magic.

"[Group All-Race Binding]."

The enormous magic array quickly expanded, finally causing the ghost-like magical puppets darting around to stop.

This scene made Yuri and the others stunned at first, then quickly saw the sudden appearance of Reiger, showing expressions of surprise one by one.

"Reiger!"

"Mr. Reiger!"

"Master!"

Yuri, Marilyn, and Lilith all spoke one after another.

"Are you all right?"

Reiger came to Yuri’s side, asking a rather concerned question.

"I’m fine." Yuri shook her head and turned to Marilyn, saying: "But Marilyn, she..."

"I’m also fine."

Marilyn intercepted Yuri’s words, but her complexion was ashen, and she was sweating profusely, showing little to no convincing appearance.

"[Great Healing]."

For now, Reiger activated healing magic on Marilyn.

However, wisps of cold, dark energy were clinging to Marilyn’s wounds, like bone-attached maggots, preventing her injuries from healing.

"This cold energy indeed has a problem."

Reiger frowned deeply, then quickly activated a second spell.

"[Magic Without Chanting·Diya Flatel]."

In an instant, a pure white magic array spun into view, causing light particles to float and cover Marilyn.

As the highest-level healing magic, [Diya Flatel] not only could heal wounds but also dispel curses.

If even this magic didn’t work on Marilyn, it might require casting super-ranked magic [Wish Upon a Star] to wish for a cure.

Fortunately, the cold energy couldn’t impede the power of this highest-level healing magic, dissolving bit by bit into black mist under the light particle’s cover.

Only then did Marilyn’s wounds heal, her ashen complexion gradually improved, and she stopped breaking into cold sweats.

"[Hellfire Wall]."

On the other side, seeing her master had already reached the protected target, Lilith, relieved, began to cast fire wall magic, directing it onto the bound magical puppets.

Under the scorching of the pitch-black flames, their bodies didn’t show even a trace of damage but were trembling all over, seemingly enduring immense pain.

The black fire, which could directly incinerate life force, allowed these puppets, devoid of fear of pain, to finally experience suffering.

"Unfortunately, you have no hearts."

Lilith felt disgust toward these magical puppets who lacked vital organs, and with a wave of her hand, immediately released several more walls of black fire, scorching all the magical puppets.

"Master."

With her job completed, Lilith then returned to Reiger’s side.

"You’ve worked hard."

Reiger retracted his Healing Magic and offered a word of comfort to Lilith.

"It’s no trouble at all. To carry out a command personally assigned by my master is my honor."

Lilith said this, yet an unmistakable look of joy appeared on her face.

Looking at Lilith, Reiger couldn’t help but think of the hundred-level NPCs in the Nasalik Underground Tomb.

He remembered that those NPCs, just like Lilith, were incredibly loyal to the ones they served.

Whether it was Albedo, the Female Demon like Lilith, Charlotte the True Ancestor Vampire, or Demiurge another demon, these NPCs were either undead who loathed the living or ruthless demons, but all were exceptionally loyal to the Bone King, willing to die for him. Such loyalty was truly moving.

Reiger felt that Lilith, like those high-level NPCs, had maximum loyalty from the very beginning, perhaps even overflowing.

"Are all NPCs and summoned beings in ’YGGDRASIL’ like this?"

Reiger mused thoughtfully.

"Who is she...?"

Yuri, however, was somewhat surprised and puzzled as she saw Lilith calling Reiger her master.

She didn’t know who Lilith was, only that she had appeared out of nowhere.

When Yuri was in danger, this strange woman with horns had suddenly appeared to block most of the enemies.

Now it seemed, could this person be Reiger’s new attendant? And judging by her strength... could she be another Sword Saint?

Yuri speculated in her mind.

"She is my summoned being." Reiger, having little reason to hide the truth from Yuri, straightforwardly explained, "You can consider her my attendant."

Lilith nodded indifferently at Yuri, a stark contrast to her demeanor towards Reiger.

However, even a nod was already an unprecedented courtesy.

To someone like Lilith, a Female Demon, humans were merely moving prey, valuable only for their hearts, similar to ants that could be casually crushed on the street.

The fact that she nodded at Yuri was already extremely rare.

Clearly, it was only because of Reiger, knowing the important place this young lady held in his heart, that Lilith showed such regard.

Otherwise, she might have been inclined to tear out and devour someone’s heart on the spot.

"Hello."

Yuri hastily returned the greeting to Lilith.

The person had protected her, and judging from her skills, she was clearly of Sword Saint caliber; even as an attendant, such a presence could not be treated with arrogance.

"My Lady."

Marilyn, her injuries healed, still held her twin swords and gave Yuri a reminder.

"The battle outside isn’t over yet."

As soon as she said this, before Yuri could react, Reiger spoke first.

"No, it’s already ended."

Indeed, it was over.

With Reiger’s magical attacks, combined with Liz and Yuloli entering the fray, the ceaseless explosions outside gradually subsided, and the sounds of fighting slowly quieted down.

"Master!"

Before long, Liz hurriedly rushed over with Yuloli by her side.

"My Lady!"

"Are you alright?"

Two rather attractive female knights ran over with them.

It was none other than Ai En and Ian, whom they hadn’t seen for some time.

"Where are Mistis and Isu?" Yuri asked the two female attendants, "Are they alright?"

Ai En and Ian immediately responded.

"The young master and young lady are fine."

"We’ve already sent them to safety."

Upon hearing this, Yuri felt reassured.

"Let’s leave here first." Reiger spoke at an opportune moment, "The entire capital is in chaos now. There’s no telling when someone might attack again. We shouldn’t waste time with these people."

"What on earth happened?" Yuri asked, greatly perplexed, "Why are we being attacked?"

"I’ll explain this to you later." Reiger didn’t provide an explanation but narrowed his eyes and said with a cold smile, "After I’ve dealt with the true culprit."
