"..."

In fact, not only the so-called "Silver Eyed Lion" Riccardo was a little confused, but even the swordsmen present who were still standing and preparing for the final decisive battle were also a little unbelievable.

Because, at noon, they had clearly followed Commander Miria's order to persuade all the residents in the town of Pieta to evacuate. Everyone had packed their bags and evacuated this place in the afternoon.

The town, and the swordsmen in charge of each block also checked door to door, and indeed found nothing missing.

But now, why at this critical moment, a sleepy little girl appears on the deadly battlefield?

"!!"

"!?"

Of course, although they felt a little unbelievable like the other great swords, what was different from others' worries and confusion was that Claire and Jane looked at each other in shock, and then

No matter what they did, they couldn't hide the ecstasy in their hearts.

"is her?"

"how come……"

At this time, the most concerned and unbelievable person present was the big sword Flora, who had long golden slightly curly hair and looked very gentle and beautiful!

After all, she was responsible for the block adjacent to the square. She had indeed seen that bad little girl named Annie, and after trying to persuade her to no avail, she resolutely went downstairs and assigned a few townspeople to kill her.

Pack it up, stuff it into the carriage, and take it away with you.

At that time, she did see the townspeople running upstairs in a hurry, and then quickly came down and drove the carriage away. Logically speaking, it is impossible for a few strong townspeople to do anything to the little girl.

That's right, and at that time she was just too lazy to do it herself, so she did it like that.

Anyway, she never thought that those townspeople dared to deal with her, nor did she think that those townspeople could not even do such a small thing as taking away a little girl.

But no idea...

It's fine now, but at such a critical moment, when they were about to have a decisive battle with that terrifying Awakened One, such an unnecessary flaw appeared?

Sudden!

Before the swordsmen could react and prepare to say or do something, they all saw that the 'Silver-Eyed Lion' Ricardo, who had been confronting them just now, actually smiled ferociously after being shocked.

Then he flashed his body and disappeared in front of them at that terrifying speed?

"!!"

not good!

Just based on the direction in which the 'Silver-Eyed Lion' Ricardo moved and the ferocious expression on his face, Flora knew what the other party wanted to do without even thinking too much!

So, with her heart tightening, she subconsciously rushed towards the direction of the little girl to help her without even thinking about it.

After all, she was standing closest to the other party, and this was an omission in her work. She had to make up for it emotionally and rationally, even if she risked her life.

"Flora!"

"don't want!"

In an instant, an unknown companion behind her exclaimed as if he wanted to stop her, but at this moment Flora couldn't care so much.

She just gritted her teeth and used the fastest speed and fastest sword moves to move towards the person who was originally far away, but now rushed to her, and was about to move towards the person not far away who was still stunned.

On the ground, the little girl, who seemed to be awake, grabbed the 'Silver-Eyed Lion' Ricardo and chopped it off, thinking of stopping him no matter what.

However!

Her attack failed.

"!!"

In an instant, Flora's heart skipped a beat when she saw that her most powerful 'wind-cutting sword' had cut down only a shadow, knowing that she had been deceived.

That cunning monster, that terrifying 'Silver-Eyed Lion' Riccardo, the opponent's initial target was probably not the little girl at all, but just wanted to attract them to rescue and disrupt their defensive formation.

That’s all!

"..."

It’s going to be bad!

However, when the attack failed and she stumbled a little and lost her balance, and was about to turn around and defend herself, Flora knew without looking that she seemed to have no chance!

Although she didn't look back, she could vaguely feel some actual malice behind her and the sharp claws that had appeared beside her neck.

At this moment, she could do nothing and had no time to react. She could only stare at the man not far in front of her with his silver pupils, his big green eyes blinking at her without any trace of emotion.

The little girl knew the danger and waited helplessly as the monster prepared to decapitate her with its claws.

"Flora!"

"careful!"

"asshole!"

"Stop!!"

Vaguely, Flora seemed to hear the screams of her companions behind her and the noisy attempts to rescue them, but she knew that it would be useless and it would definitely be too late.

so……

She slowly closed her eyes, and while her head was still on her neck, she began to recall bits and pieces of her past, the good times she spent with her family and friends when she was young.

She also seemed to see her family and friends stretching out their hands toward her. Their faces were still the familiar ones before they were killed by the demon, and their faces were all filled with happy smiles.

She understood that this moment might be the last moment of her life.

After all, she still betrayed Miliya's trust and even failed to do such a small thing as evacuating the residents, so that she suffered the consequences...

However!

Click!

"??"

Surprisingly, Flora discovered that the long sharp claws of the 'Silver-Eyed Lion King' Rikarudo only struck her in front of the cheek at the base of her neck, and then was killed by some invisible force.

Is something blocked?

Then, she even saw: The opponent's sharp claws were broken into a small hole by something invisible?

"!!"

Although she didn't know what happened, Flora made a decisive decision, turned around and used her strongest and best move. It was also her famous stunt. In a split second, without using demonic energy, she only used her arm strength and concentration of consciousness to perform a high-speed move.

Swing your sword and create infinite combos, slashing all the sword light directly towards the enemies behind you!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The Wind-Destroying Sword slashed dozens of swords at the opponent's body, but unfortunately, it was still just an illusion.

"??"

With a shudder in his heart, he quickly turned around and returned to defense, and then formed a defensive formation again with his companions including Miria, Claire and Jane who rushed over. After feeling a little at ease, he wondered what had just happened.

Flora, who was still confused, was surprised to see:

That 'Silver Eyed Lion King' Riccardo actually abandoned her and their big swords, and instead went to confront the sleepy little girl at a distance of about ten meters?

"do not move!"

Then, just when Flora was about to continue to step forward, she realized that Claire on the side actually reached out and grabbed her, and then even said something to persuade her:

"Watch carefully!"

"Maybe……"

"We don't have to die today."

After saying that, Claire, who looked relaxed and her expression was no longer as nervous and serious as before, slowly let go of the hand holding her wrist.

"..."

Hearing this, although Flora wanted to say something, she saw that Jane had the same expression as Claire, and as the commander, Miria just stared ahead, without any intention of taking any action.

Meaning, thinking about the abnormal situation just now, Flora was startled, and then she exclaimed and asked:

"No way?"

"just……"

"Did that little girl do it?!"

Flora actually doesn't know what happened just now. She is still confused until now, but now, seeing the reactions of her companions, look at the 'Silver-Eyed Lion King' Riccardo

They abandoned their big swords and went to confront a little girl. She was not stupid at all, so she didn't know what was going on?

soon!

Before Claire or Miria could explain, Flora herself saw the figure of the 'Silver-Eyed Lion King' Riccardo flashed suddenly, and then headed straight towards that person at an extremely fast speed.

The little girl rushed over.
