Intense Battle and Conversation

Ebner actually didn't plan on showing himself. After using the analysis ability of the White Eye to bypass the few defensive rituals in the warehouse, he determined that the Beyonder who had given the Alish potion formula was at least at Sequence 7, or even higher.

He originally planned to leave quietly after eavesdropping on a little more information, and then find Cullen or Judy among the Forsaken Ones to come and take her down.

Unfortunately, he had made a mistake somewhere and his whereabouts had been discovered by the Demoness. In the end, he had no choice but to show himself and accept the challenge.

Yes, Demoness. After those black flames surrounded the girl, Ebner knew that he had encountered Demoness again.

Therefore, at the same time that he decisively pulled out the Sword of Dawn, he threw out two charms. One created a "gale" that pushed him to quickly appear in front of the Demoness, while the other created an illusory "shackle" in the shadow beneath the Demoness's feet, restricting her movements.

This was the most powerful technique he could use at the moment, and it could be said that he was going all out. There was no need for him to hold back against the Demoness.

If not for the fact that the Sword of Dawn could only use "Light Storm" once a day, which had a wide range and could wipe out the Alec, he would probably have to start with AOE.

Crack!

As the large sword slashed onto the girl's body, her figure first split open, then turned into fragments, turning into coarse silver mirror fragments!

Mirror Substitution Technique!

Ebner was well aware of what the Demoness was capable of, and he had never thought that he would be able to kill her with a single stroke of his sword. He had only used two precious talismans to seize the initiative.

However, just as he thought that the Demoness would enter stealth mode and constantly move about, waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to him, she actually raised a claw that flickered with cold light and attacked from the front.

This caught Ebner off guard, who was prepared to simulate the Fire of Light to break her "invisibility".

Seeing that the terrifying claw was about to reach him, Ebner could not block it. He raised his sword again and slashed at the Demoness' neck.

Crack!

With the shattering of the mirror, the Demoness' figure suddenly appeared beside Ebner, and her cold claws were already close to his kidney.

Right after that, there was a loud clang. The claw failed to penetrate Ebner's body. Instead, it was blocked by an armor that suddenly appeared on his body.

This was one of the abilities of the Sword of Dawn. It could condense a weightless Dawn Armor on the user's body.

The strike didn't work, and the Demoness frowned slightly. Without waiting for Ebner's broadsword to slash down, she was about to retreat. She had already used the Mirror Substitution twice, but the broadsword seemed to have the ability to weaken supernatural powers. If she was struck a few more times, her "Substitution Technique" might completely fail.

But how could Ebner give her a chance to retreat now?

"Filthy!"

Accompanying the incantation chanted in ancient Hermes, a charm that Ebner had long held in his hand with evil patterns was instantly activated. It was one of the five Language of Foulness charms made from the demon aura on Damir Island.

With the activation of the charm, a demonic word filled with filth and stench echoed in the space.

"Slow down!"

The Demoness movements became extremely slow as if the surrounding space had become viscous. A look of terror slowly appeared on her face.

But at this moment, the sapphire ring on her finger suddenly flashed with light, and she regained her mobility.

The Demoness held back her joy. Before Ebner's broadsword slashed down, she activated another Beyonder item. Her body suddenly vanished, and she appeared in front of Alex, who was holding the gas lamp and staring blankly at the intense battle.

Flaming Jump? She actually has a Beyonder item with the Magician powers.

Upon seeing this ability appear, Ebner, who had missed the attack, had already given up on killing or capturing the Demoness in front of him. After all, the Demoness had a very strong survival ability. In addition to the Magician's survival skills, if she wanted to escape, he definitely wouldn't be able to catch up to her.

He was just a little depressed. Why was it that with the Solomon gold coin augmenting him with Luck, his whereabouts were easily discovered… His final trump card, the Language of Foulness charm, was also coincidentally countered by his opponent's trump card.

Little did he know that the Demoness was actually even more depressed than him. She had clearly released a large amount of "luck" accumulated in her ring, but when the Ice Claw struck her armor, it did not trigger the "Freeze" effect. Otherwise, just the "Dawn Armor" alone would definitely not be able to withstand that strike.

However, the Demoness also had no intention to continue attacking. After the previous attack and defense probing, she had already confirmed that the other party was an extremely difficult Beyonder. Not only did he have many abilities, but he also had quite a number of mid-level charms. It was not a wise choice to continue fighting like this.

Most importantly, she had already vaguely guessed his background, so continuing the battle was meaningless.

"Actually, we don't have any enmity between us. There's no need for us to fight to the death, is there?" Seeing that Ebner didn't continue to attack, the Demoness spoke in a clear voice.

"Hehe, you were the one who attacked first." Ebner did not let his guard down just because the other party had stopped. While he was talking, he secretly held the cursed badge that had been repaired by the demonic aura in his hand, planning to activate it once something went wrong.

The Demoness didn't relax either. She seemed to have put away her Frost Claw, which she relied on the most, but in fact, she had been holding onto the rod that could activate Flaming Jump.

"Then please allow me to apologize, Sir." The Demoness bowed slightly before looking at Ebner, who was tensed up. She smiled and asked, "Sir, you are from the Church of Earth Mother, right? A Forsaken One?"

Ebner was slightly shocked. He did not expect this witch to guess the Forsaken Land's identity. Although he was not one if Susan had not suddenly gone to find Judy who had changed into Roman, the one who would appear here at this moment might really be a Forsaken Land.

Narrowing his eyes, Ebner asked calmly, "Why do you say I'm from the Church of Earth Mother?"

"Heh heh, there's no need for you to deny it… This is because I recognize the face you're currently disguising. She originally belonged to Ray. She was a Demoness of Afflictions!" At this point, Demoness looked at Ebner with a faint smile and continued, "And in order to steal a Sealed Artifact from the Church of Earth Mother, Ray lost a Sealed Artifact that could be disguised as this face in the hands of a giant bishop."

Witch Lena!

After hearing the Demoness' words, the name that had once given him and Xio quite a headache appeared in Ebner's mind. After all, Ray was wanted by the three Churches. Apart from Witch Leena who appeared with her, the other Demonesses probably wouldn't know what she had done recently.

Lena was here… Could Ray be nearby? At the thought of this, Ebner immediately thought of turning around and fleeing.

"Don't worry, Ray isn't here… I broke up with her and am also avoiding her." The Demoness seemed to have guessed Ebner's thoughts and explained with a smile.

However, Ebner did not believe her words. He frowned and secretly looked around. He wanted to find a chance to leave. It would not be too late to talk after he found helpers.

"Do you want to know what Ray is planning? I can tell you."

However, just as Ebner was about to leave, the Demoness's words made him stop in his tracks.

He looked at the Demoness before him with a grave expression. After a long while, he asked, "Why do you have to tell me?"

"I know that in order to advance to Pain, not only did Ray steal a Sealed Artifact from the Church of Earth Mother, She also caused the death of one of the important believers… And since the Forsaken One has appeared here, it means that you are still doing something." When Demoness said this, she suddenly waved her hand. With a fragrant breeze, she knocked out Alec, who was eavesdropping with her ears pricked up, before continuing,

"And I am not telling you all this important information for free… what I want is a transaction."

"What deal? What do you want?" Ebner didn't have time to beat around the bush with the Demoness as he asked bluntly.

"The last time I escaped from Ray's pursuit, she planted a mutated malignant disease in me. Even the Beyonder powers of Apothecary and Physician can only alleviate it, but not completely remove it… I need the Church of Earth Mother to help me remove this latent danger," the Demoness said after a moment of silence.

Ebner did not have the right to answer her request, so he said after thinking for a moment, "I need to ask… Can you leave a contact method?"

"Hehe, is it convenient for you to capture me by leaving behind the contact method?" The Demoness laughed coquettishly at first, but then she changed the topic and directly reported a person's name. "Talim Dumont."

"You can find Talim Dumont and tell him that you wish to meet Witch Lena… When the time comes, an important figure will arrange for us to meet," the Demoness said.

Looking for Talim? Then, could that important figure be Prince Edessak? Holy sh * t, he's colluding with a Demoness before Trissy even came to Backlund?
