There was no doubt that this was an order from Shinji.
It wasn't because he was defeated by Mordred and had to retreat, but because some changes occurred on Fiore's side.
The time went forward a few minutes, and Lion Jie successfully used the poisonous fog to disrupt Fiore's vision, and finally used the dagger made from the corpse of the young Hydra to launch a fatal attack. With the poison of Hydra, as long as it touched Fiore's body, it would take Fiore's life without even piercing her skin.
Fiore also used a secret magic gift—a bracelet that sealed the evil spirit.
The Fulvegi family is a family of necromancy magicians, and they are best at placing spirits on objects or sealing them, and releasing them when needed. After learning necromancy, every member of the Fulvegi family makes a bracelet to seal spirits as their first gift, and Fiore and Corles are no exception.
The animal spirit that Corles sealed in the bracelet was the cheetah, which was Corles's best friend for the longest time. Fiore, who was more proficient in necromancy, sealed an evil spirit. Although the evil spirit was not as docile and obedient as the animal spirit, its combat ability was much stronger than that of most animal spirits, not to mention that the evil spirit sealed by Fiore was not of low level. Without prior preparation, even Fiore herself would be seriously injured, not to mention the lion Jiejieli who was not a necromancer.
In other words, both Fiore and Shizijie launched attacks that could kill the enemy instantly, and almost both abandoned defense. If nothing unexpected happened, the result of this round of confrontation would be a loss for both sides or even a mutual destruction.
Unexpectedly, Fiore and Lion were not injured, let alone killed together. Just before Hydra's dagger touched the "EIHWAZ" rune, and just when the long-sealed evil spirit escaped from Fiore's bracelet, a black shadow inserted itself between the two.
Immediately afterwards, Lion Jie, whose muscular body was over 180cm tall, was knocked to the ground fiercely and rolled back into the poisonous fog that had not yet dissipated.
Fiore's condition was slightly better. She was supported by the last metal arm and did not fall, but she also swung backwards in an arc.
More troubles followed, because the lion was knocked away, and the evil spirit released had no "food" and actually pounced on Fiore - since it was an evil spirit, it didn't care whether it was the master or not. It would eat whoever was close to it.
Fortunately, Fiore's other three metal arms had reacted by then, and a few rounds of volleys were enough to destroy the evil spirits - as the strongest necromancer in the Fulvig family, Fiore had plenty of ways to deal with the evil spirits.
However, before Fiore released the light bullet, two cold lights flashed, and the evil spirit that was flaming with its fangs and claws was cut into several pieces in the blink of an eye.
It was at this moment that Fiore finally saw the true face of the black shadow that interrupted their duel.
This was a lovely girl, who looked two or three years younger than Saber of Red. She had short, messy silver hair and her fluorescent eyes were full of innocence. She was wearing an inconspicuous cloak, and through the gaps in the cloak, one could vaguely see her leather top and the leather sheath around her waist.
The only thing that somewhat ruined the image was the weapons in the girl's hands, which were two black and red knives.
Square, flat blade, wooden handle, no longer than thirty centimeters, no wider than twenty centimeters... Well, if Fiore's understanding is correct, they should be two kitchen knives.
It was these two kitchen knives that chopped into pieces the strongest evil spirit sealed by Fiore.
Then-
She grabbed them with her pair of tender little white hands and stuffed them into her mouth piece by piece.
That's right.
You read that right.
have eaten!
Eat it!
She ate the evil spirit.
After all her life and studying necromancy for so long, this was the first time Fiore had seen someone eat an evil spirit. By the way, can an evil spirit be eaten by humans? And they ate it with gusto, as if they were enjoying some delicious food.
Is the world crazy, or am I crazy
The girl ate the evil spirits very quickly. Before Fiore could come to her senses, she had already swallowed all eight evil spirits. She also burped cutely and said contentedly:
"It's delicious, just like the hamburgers my mom makes. Hey, hey, do you have any more?"
The girl turned her head and looked at Fiore with expectant eyes, which made Fiore feel more and more uncomfortable.
Where did this girl come from? Why did she intervene in the duel between him and Shizijie? What about the ability to eat evil spirits
The more doubts Fiore had in her heart, the more she dared not to act rashly.
Seeing that Fiore didn't answer, the girl ran over and stared at Fiore eagerly.
"Hey, hey."
Suddenly, the girl's eyes lit up and she sniffed, just like a little pet.
"Ah, this is... you're a mom too."
"Mom!" Fiore was stunned by this sudden name. She had never thought that someone would call her mom.
Below, the girl had already started to hold her hands and began to shake and act coquettishly.
"Hey, hey, mom whose name I don't know, do you still have the delicious food we had earlier? We're not full yet."
"Oh, yes..." Fiore stammered, "No, I'm not your mother."
Hearing this answer, the girl was obviously unhappy and instinctively touched the two kitchen knives. But soon she remembered something, put the kitchen knives back into the sheath, pursed her lips, and said unhappily:
"You smell like your dad, it must be your mom."
"Daddy's taste? But..." Fiore was becoming more and more confused.
How could there be a smell? The suits worn by every master of the Thousand World Tree Clan were processed by alchemy, leaving no traces for people to track, including the smell - where did this father's smell come from
Well, I have to say that Fiore was mistaken. This smell was not a physical smell, but a magical smell. No matter how good the clothes were, as long as you still had Shinji's runes on you, you couldn't escape Jack's extremely sensitive nose or magical perception.
Of course, this is also because Fiore was stunned by the combination of punches from Little Jack, who separated the two of them at the first sight, then cut the evil spirit into pieces and ate it, and finally called for her mother. She didn't realize that the girl in front of her was not an ordinary human being, but a Servant.
Lion Jie, who was sitting in the poisonous fog, could see it, but because he saw it, he didn't dare to act rashly. Although this little girl had no job and her attributes were extremely weak, servants couldn't be treated with common sense. If she and Fiore joined forces, it would be the end. At this moment, the necromancer had run out of ammunition and food. Except for a few "finger bullets" and a Hydra dagger, he had no other equipment.
Just as he was thinking about how to retreat, the poisonous fog dissipated.
PS: Don't complain, Little Jack has three pairs of weapons, two pairs of daggers and a pair of boning knives, which are kitchen knives. The three pairs of knives can perfectly cut open the belly.
PS2: Therefore, there is nothing much to say about the meat-chopping scene in the beginning. What else can a kitchen knife chop if not meat
PS3: My daughter, don't do a job like killing people that has no future and is dangerous. Being a cook is not bad. Daddy will ask the old man to open a restaurant in another world for you. How about that? You can also hire a demon with no fighting power and a black dragon that is not sure if it is a feminized version of Deathwing as waiters.
