Chapter 371 Ipsilon: You all!
Listening to the warrior team's suicidal conversation, Phoenix did not appear to stop them.
The power displayed by the Demon King during the Holy Light Pilgrimage even startled him.
The Demon King has definitely reached the tenth rank, and not just any ordinary tenth rank.
Throughout history, most demon kings have been at the eighth or ninth level, with very few reaching the tenth level.
Such a rare thing just happened to happen to Philippa. To say it's bad luck is to encounter a low-probability event, but to say it's good luck... why don't you try fighting a tenth-tier demon king yourself?
At least since he was born, he had never seen such a terrifying demon king, a demon king who could even kill demons.
Because the Demon King was too powerful, the burden on Philippa, the new hero, was too heavy. Fortunately, Philippa herself was cheerful and was not crushed by this burden. Instead, she dared to take the initiative to track down information related to the Demon King.
Since the three members of the Brave Squad had mustered the courage and made up their minds to go to Eagle Territory, Phoenix naturally wouldn't stop them, because with him there, their safety would be guaranteed.
Even with such a powerful demon king, Phoenix was confident he could rescue the three members of the hero's team right under his nose.
A direct confrontation would be impossible, but don't forget that Phoenix is the chief magician of the Olmec Kingdom...
Okay, that's not important. What's important is Phoenix's mastery of spatial magic.
Spatial magic might be a bit lacking in combat, but when it comes to escaping, it's second to none.
He was able to escape the attack range with the three of them before the Demon King unleashed his terrifying attack.
However, once he arrived at Eagle Territory, he would have to be on high alert at all times, guarding against the Demon King's possible sneak attacks...

"How is it?" Ipsyron asked.
Late at night, Delta had just returned to the stronghold with his vampire servants when he was questioned by Ipsilon.
The blonde, mature vampire tossed her long hair, her blood-red eyes fixed on Ipsilon: "You're still awake? At this hour, that elf is already 'early to bed and early to rise,' starting to take care of her health at such a young age (referring to the centenarian girl)."
Ipsyron gave a wry smile: "Stop making fun of me. Beta is just keeping a normal sleep schedule. I just can't sleep, so I'll wait until you get back from your investigation."
Ipsyron cared deeply about the Kingdom of Westphalia, after all, it was her homeland, and she wanted to do her best to restore peace to the Kingdom of Westphalia as soon as possible.
“Unfortunately, we didn’t find anything.” Delta’s words plunged Ipsilon into despair: “It’s just a normal military garrison. We didn’t see any cult-like figures in the army, nor did we sense any demonic presence.”
Delta has said so, and so far there has been no indication of any connection to the Demonic Order.
Could it be that the conflict and strife within the Demonic Order are truly at play? Or is this just wishful thinking on my part?
In fact, the War of the Eight Princes in the Kingdom of Westphalia had nothing to do with the Demon Order; it was simply an internal strife that naturally erupted among the kings and people of Westphalia against their rulers.
If that's the case, then without the involvement of the Demon Cult in the Kingdom of Westphalia, all the reinforcements I've requested, and even hoped that Lord Shadow would come to help...
Isn't that a complete waste of time, manpower, and resources?
Sending this reinforcement to Demiller's side, to Shad Mountain's side, would quickly crush another faction of the Demonic Order, instead of the situation she's been in, where there's been no progress for so long...
The blonde, mature vampire glanced at the gloomy-faced Ipsilon: "I don't know what you're thinking, but I advise you not to underestimate yourself."
The troops stationed here tonight are just a detachment, so it's normal that there are no clues about cult members.
Don't forget, before the attack on the Grand Merchant Guild's caravan, we had no idea that the Golden Weasel Merchant Guild was actually controlled by the Demon Order's money-grubbing and greedy faction.
Maybe they're just hiding it well and haven't shown their true colors yet, but one day they won't be able to hide it anymore.
Even if the affairs of the Kingdom of Westphalia have absolutely nothing to do with the Demon Order, we will not abandon our mission in the Kingdom of Westphalia and go elsewhere.
Don't forget the oath we made.
Upon hearing this, Ipsyron fell into deep thought.
(陰に潜み, 陰を狩る) To lurk in the darkness and hunt shadows.
Yes, the purpose of the Shadow Court has never been to annihilate the demon cult.
However, the Demon Order is the biggest obstacle to the Shadow Court's goals, and therefore needs to be eliminated.
Lord Shadow's wish is to protect this world from the shadows as a powerful being, making it a better place.
Even if it has nothing to do with the Demon Order, the miserable state of the people of Westphalia already constitutes a reason for the Shadow Court's actions.
The moment I understood, the boulder that had been weighing on my heart shattered.
but……
Ipsyron gave a wry smile.
What does "I have no idea what you're thinking" mean? Doesn't that mean she's completely seen through her own thoughts? Otherwise, how could she offer such a perfectly timed word of comfort?
"Thank you." This was Ipsyron's heartfelt gratitude.
The blonde, mature vampire Delta smiled and said, "You're welcome. After all, I'm the older sister, so it's only right that I take care of my younger sister."
This refers to the ranking of the Ten Shadow Attendants.
Ipsilon is the fifth of the Ten Kage, just one head shorter than Delta, the fourth of the Ten Kage.
"Here we go again, only this time you met Lord Shadow a little earlier than me..." Ipsyron said with dissatisfaction.
Delta really likes to use his fourth-place ranking to pressure the ten Shadow Servants who are fourth.
However, among the remaining six, a silly dog, a taciturn demon girl, an Eiota, and a pink-haired succubus, none of them will be intimidated by Delta's self-proclaimed "older sister".
This tactic only worked on Ipsyron and Aita.
"No?" The blonde, mature vampire proudly puffed out her chest, her soft flesh trembling under Ipsilon's gaze. "Not only in terms of resume, but in every aspect, I can be called 'older sister'!"
Age, mature woman figure, and a pair of useless soft flesh.
Ipsyron's lips froze.
Why does everyone keep bringing up her small breasts? Is it her fault she's flat-chested? Why doesn't she want to find someone with bigger breasts...?
Um... the main problem is that this "flat" surface is just too terrifying.
Everyone else's rounded silhouette was more or less visible, except for Ipsyron...
To borrow the words of the pink-haired succubus, "Without the dots, you can't even tell the front from the back."
Alas, it's such a disservice to the hard work of the farmers.
