"I have to say, the magic that guy Fin gave is indeed useful. The only pity is that it is a one-ti use, and the monsters summoned are a bit disgusting," Solitär muttered to herself.
She glanced at Flam, who was temporarily entangled by the monsters, a trace of unwillingness flashing in her eyes.
Although this infiltration was discovered, fortunately, the seed had been planted in Carlo. The future was promising.
Now, it was ti to leave.
"Lady Flam," Solitär sneered, her figure beginning to retreat. "We will et again! By the way, say hello to that 'Lord Rhodes' for !"
Before leaving, Solitär indulged in a bit of verbal satisfaction.
At worst, she would hide and not co out. She didn't believe that God-slayer could find her!
"Trying to run?! Not so easy!"
How could Flam let this dangerous demon escape? Ignoring the harassnt of the surrounding monsters, she forcibly gathered her mana. An arrow of light shot toward Solitär like a javelin, attempting to intercept her escape.
However, Solitär seed prepared. Facing this seemingly ordinary light arrow, the magical shield she released blocked it effortlessly.
"Bye-bye!" Solitär flickered a few tis and vanished completely from Flam's sight.
But she didn't notice the upward curve of Flam's lips.
The monsters were quickly cleared out by Flam completely. However, she didn't chase after Solitär imdiately. Instead, she stood in place, as if waiting for sothing.
Before long, two figures appeared on the horizon and descended beside Flam.
It was Ela and Frieren.
"Flam, what exactly happened?"
It turned out that when Flam was seeing Solitär off, she had notified Ela and Frieren in advance. She hadn't told them the reason, only asked them to pay attention to her situation.
Her battle with Solitär just now had naturally attracted their attention, so they rushed over imdiately.
"A demon infiltrated the Magic Association!" Flam said fiercely, her anger unabated. She quickly briefed Ela and Frieren on the battle with Solitär and the exposure of her demonic identity.
"What?! Such an audacious fellow exists?"
Even an elf like Ela was furious to learn a demon had infiltrated the Association.
Especially since she had seen that fellow nad Ariel several tis, though they hadn't spoken.
"Did she use high-level Disguise Magic?" Frieren asked.
To deceive mages of Flam and Ela's level for so long, one could imagine the disguise magic was of a very high grade.
If the opponent changed their appearance and continued hiding, things would be troubleso.
"Yes. I have never seen Disguise Magic of this level; ordinary detection spells are useless," Flam confird. Then, a triumphant smile appeared on her face. "However, she cannot run!"
She raised her hand. A thread of mana at her fingertip, originating from the sa source as the light arrow fired in the battle, emitted a faint glow, pointing in the direction Solitär had vanished.
"I used tracking magic in that last attack. As long as she is within a certain range, I can roughly sense her direction and distance. The reason I didn't chase imdiately was that I feared she might have accomplices, and I couldn't handle them alone."
Ela's eyes lit up. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's chase!"
"Wait a mont," Frieren reminded them. Though young, she clearly thought more deeply. "The opponent is a Great Demon. Such existences serve under the Demon King. We must be careful she isn't luring us into a trap."
Having learned last ti that the demon attacking her village was a general under the Demon King, facing a Great Demon again, Frieren obviously made the association.
She never expected a maverick Great Demon like Solitär existed among demons.
Ela nodded in agreent. "Frieren is right."
Although Flam felt sothing was a bit strange, she agreed that Frieren's point was valid. Being careful was never wrong.
Ela, on the other hand, couldn't wait. Her figure flashed, turning into an afterimage as she rushed in the direction Flam indicated.
Flam and Frieren exchanged a glance and followed imdiately.
The three-person team tracked Solitär based on Flam's guidance. Along the way, Flam could clearly sense Ariel moving rapidly toward the northwest.
"She is fleeing northwest, very fast," Flam transmitted the ssage to Ela ahead via communication magic.
"Received! I will try to close the distance."
The tracking lasted for about an hour.
The surrounding scenery grew increasingly desolate, trees becoming sparse. It was clearly a swamp terrain, hiding quite a few monsters within.
"Her movent speed has slowed down," Ela ssaged again.
"Be careful. The environnt here is complex; I detect many monsters," Flam warned.
Not long after, Ela's voice ca with a hint of excitent: "Target spotted! She has stopped."
"Understood. Frieren and I will check the surroundings first to see if there are hidden demons."
Flam and Frieren didn't converge with Ela imdiately. Instead, they scouted the periter of the swamp. Only after confirming there were no traps did they approach slowly.
Monts later, the three silently arrived behind a large rock not far from Solitär.
Solitär had her back to them, seemingly inspecting a temporarily arranged small magic circle, unaware of their arrival.
Her illusion had stabilized again. In Ela and Frieren's eyes, she was just an ordinary human mage.
Fortunately, Flam had warned them about her proficiency in Disguise Magic, so they weren't deceived.
Flam made a hand signal. Mana began to flow around Ela, while Frieren slowly retreated to a safe distance to provide support.
Then, Flam revealed herself from the front. Blue mana condensed in her palm, locking onto Solitär in the center of the clearing.
"We et again, Miss Ariel." Flam's cold voice broke the silence of the swamp.
Solitär's body stiffened violently, and she spun around.
Seeing Flam and the others, a look of disbelief appeared on her face.
"You?!" she exclaid, then imdiately realized sothing, staring fixedly at Flam. "It was that attack?! What did you do?"
"Just a little tracking magic. Of course, you certainly haven't heard of it." Flam sneered.
Master Rhodes had created this magic and hadn't put it in any grimoire. Only she and Ela knew it; even Frieren hadn't been taught.
"Surrender and state your purpose. Perhaps you will suffer less."
Solitär's expression shifted uncertainly. She hadn't expected to be tracked so precisely.
Looking at the three mages before her, especially the elf and Flam, the pressure on her was imnse.
She definitely couldn't win a frontal fight. She had to run.
"Catching won't be that easy!" Solitär suddenly stomped on the temporary magic circle beneath her feet.
Hum!
The magic circle instantly lit up with blue light, and chaotic spatial fluctuations began to oscillate.
"She is trying to force a teleportation! Stop her!" Ela acted imdiately without hesitation. A light arrow shot from her hand, aid straight at the core of the magic circle.
Flam acted as well. Thinking she could force a teleportation in front of them was a bit delusional.
Boom! Boom!
Their attacks hit the magic circle almost simultaneously.
The fragile temporary circle couldn't withstand their attacks at all. It shattered instantly, and violent energy turbulence scattered in all directions, blowing away the surrounding gravel.
"Damn it!"
Solitär was shocked and angry. Her teleportation plan failed, and she was surrounded once again.
