Chapter 294 (2/2)

To hell with it! These guys have flying mounts!? Roland stared ide eyes toward the red ainst common sense, if they are able to carry a tall and bulky person on your back, how large are these mounts?

Before long however, he already caught sight of two black spots which ca at the deh his observation mirror, he was only able to see the saddle at their hip, their sharp fangs, and their hairless body, with a basic form which was similar to birds If he wasn't mistaken… then they were actually two mixed species of demonic beasts!

“Head down to the ground, we are landing as soon as possible,” Roland squeezed those feords through his gritted teeth

For now, this was the ht that the Devils possessed the ability to pursue theht while flying was Lightning But when he looked at her pale face, he knew that there was no hope for her to win this battle Once they caught up, even if the other side ainst the balloon, they would still be able to take the lives of all of the witches - even if the coating would be robust enough to resist the i violent shaking, it was most likely that they would all fall out of the basket and drop into the sea like stones

And at this height, there was no difference between hitting solid ground or falling into the sea

By now the Devils had come so close to the hot air balloon that even without the help of the edon its back

“Be careful,” Sylvie shrieked again “They are getting ready to throw their spears!”

When he heard the warning, his mind was suddenly flooded with the scenes of the previous battles which had been described by Leaves - last time the enemy had acted in this way; they had taken Scarlet's life in a flash

He did not see the Devil extend its ar spear However, the , Anna had stretched out her hands, and controlled her fire to form an extremely thin shi+eld to block the front of the basket

A loud “bang”, ”bang” sound rang out a moment later

Anna released a suppressed groan, took two steps back, while her black fire shattered like glass into numerous pieces The spears turned into half burned irons, and dropped into the rolling sea

She'd used a dense black fire curtain to block the attack

The other witches sighed out in relief; only Roland still kept worrying - after all, he knew that when she used her ability like this, it would greatly consu, Roland had already noticed when he saw her s, her vast aic poould almost never dry up However, once she expanded her influence to the macro level and tried to form a dense body to influence the whole object all at once, the aic power she needed multiplied exponentially For exa theover to the outside wall, it would increase her ic consumption And if she wanted to lift up the entire black fire furnace, even Anna could hold on for only a few minutes

So, it was obviously, that the barrier just now had consumed quite a lot of her power If they were to throw their spears twice, Roland was afraid that even heating the air for the balloon would became impossible for her

It seemed as if the Devils had been shocked by the scene they'd witnessed Because rather than following-up with another attack, they instead chose to sweep past on both sides of the hot air balloon as if they aiting for the right moment By now they were so close, it was the first time that Roland could see the enemy's ferocious appearance - it was exactly the same as in the picture They wore demonic beast's skulls as their helmets, and their eyes were covered with scarlet red crystal pieces, they also had a leather pipe running from their chin, which went past their neck and to the carapace on their back

In the meantime, the other witches had already pulled out their revolvers, but since the basket was constantly swaying it was al at such high speed Even after depleting two rounds of bullets, they still hadn't hit the target

At this ain, only this time, they had instead chosen to attack from the front and the back

There wasn't even enough time for Anna to see the enemy at her back, so when she summoned her black flame, all she could do was cover the one side Roland however, even though he was unable to follow the path of the spear, instinctively knew that the spear had been targeted at her He almost subconsciously threw himself at Anna's back to push her out of the way, before he felt an impact on his shoulder, as if someone had ferociously smashed it with a hammer His whole body lifted into the air, and crashed into the basket's wall

The burst of unbearable pain al sense of dizziness, as if his consciousness was leaving him

Roland tightly clenched his teeth and turned his head to the side, merely to see that at the place his shoulder should have been, only a huge gap now remained - the hole in the basket at his back was sufficient to show the power of this blow

This last round of attacks had completely ripped off the corner of the basket While the blood which endlessly ca out, dyed his clothes red

“No!” Nightingale's heart-wrenching cry was the last thing he could hear before he lost consciousness
