Shesi: "...Then without further ado, let's go straight there..."
Everyone immediately started moving towards the archive room. They hadn't moved for long when they saw a figure staggering towards them.
"Azu!" Iruma immediately ran over.
Azu, seeing Iruma, also immediately ran over.
"Iruma-sama!" Azu exclaimed excitedly.
Iruma looked at Azu, whose clothes were tattered and he looked very disheveled.
"Azu, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine... It's just that that Teacher has a terrible personality. He said he wouldn't fight anymore, but then he threw three or four large fireballs, calling them 'farewell gifts'," Azu complained.
The other first-year students looked at Azu, who was complaining.
"Is this the Asmodeus-senpai who single-handedly stopped a Teacher?"
"He's not as strong as my dad!" a voice rang out. Everyone looked at the first-year student, Puru Puko, who said.
"Your dad?"
Puru Puko, hearing this, immediately hugged Sabro.
"Dad!"
Everyone looked at Sabro strangely.
Sabro was also a bit confused by what was said.
"Wait, I am not your father!"
Everyone burst out laughing, which greatly relaxed the tense atmosphere, but... "Wait!" Shesi, who was running in front to clear the way, suddenly raised his hand to stop everyone and looked at the two people in front of them who were carrying a cocoon.
"It seems... we found them," Atlee and Maimaro said upon seeing the group of people in front.
Shesi looked at Iruma.
"Summon Teacher Kalego. I'll hold them off."
"Ah? Oh." Iruma looked at the people in front, who he seemed to have seen somewhere before, and was momentarily stunned. Then, hearing his brother's words, he immediately took out a familiar summoning sticker. With a 'bang', Yepo was summoned.
"Iruma! What are you doing aga..." Kalego was about to scold Iruma when he noticed the atmosphere seemed a bit off. He turned around and saw two unfamiliar demons opposite them.
Kalego flew to Shesi's side.
"What's going on? Invaders?"
"The Five Fingers and Six Fingers of The Six Fingers."
Hearing this, Kalego became serious.
"I hope Teacher Kalego can come back as soon as possible after returning," Shesi said.
"Wait, what are you trying to do?"
Shesi directly had Iruma dismiss the summon, then told the others.
"This is an order, run." Shesi then looked at the two people opposite him.
"You came to Babyls and even brought a present? Is it a caterpillar inside? Can it turn into a butterfly? I quite like butterflies." Shesi bit his finger and smeared the blood on the pattern on his left hand. The pattern slowly lit up.
Then Shesi took a fighting stance, but the speed on the other side was faster. Atlee rushed in front of Shesi, his arm immediately extending. Shesi felt that the speed of this arm was as fast as a spear, so fast... Shesi tried to dodge by moving to the side, but remembering that they were behind him, he didn't retreat, and took out his repaired scythe to withstand the blow head-on.
"Cough." Although he barely managed to take the hit, the immense force caused Shesi to plow two furrows in the ground.
Maimaro on the other side was not idle either, attacking directly towards Iruma. Sabro immediately stood in front of Iruma, creating a shield to block the attack.
"Soul Fire." Green flames burned on Maimaro's arm, scorching the shield. Sabro felt as if it was very hot in front, so he created another shield and charged forward with it.
The eldest sister knew her ability couldn't help much, so she immediately led the other first-years to retreat.
At the same time, a broadcast came through.
"Attention all personnel, target [Intruders: The Six Fingers]. Two members of The Six Fingers have infiltrated Babyls and are currently at the archives entrance. If any Teachers are nearby, please proceed immediately to provide support. The use of family abilities and high-tier magic is permitted. Protect the [Treasure] and administer [Education] to those who covet the [Treasure]."
Upon hearing the news, the two Teachers, Machi and Teacher Mao Mo, who were originally trapped, immediately broke free from their ropes.
"The archive room?" x2
At the same time, Shida, who had been slacking off for a long time, listened to the broadcast.
"The Six Fingers... Who could it be... Will my brother be there?" Thinking this, Shida also immediately ran towards the location.
Atlee, hearing the broadcast, no longer concealed himself and immediately grew four more arms.
"It seems we must finish this quickly. If I bring you back, that esteemed person should be very pleased," Atlee charged at Shesi, intending to finish him off in one go.
Shesi first dodged once, then directly swung his scythe, but it was easily deflected. However, the moment the scythe was sent flying, it was caught by a large hand.
"What?" Atlee had no choice but to turn back and look at the huge magical arm behind Shesi's left side, saying in surprise.
"Don't think you're the only one who can grow arms!" The runes on his wrist began to spread, and half of Shesi's body was covered in runes. Shesi also felt his whole body's blood beginning to boil, his body trembling constantly, excitement, pain... many complex feelings made Shesi a little lost, but at the last moment, Shesi still forced himself into an evil cycle. At least this way he could stall... right? I'm leaving it to you.
Shesi's consciousness, in its last moment, looked at Atlee opposite him, then lost consciousness.
Shesi immediately knelt on the ground. "What's wrong? What's wrong?" Atlee was very interested in Shesi's actions and stared at him curiously.
"Hehehe... Heheheh." A laugh came, followed by loud laughter.
"Ahahaha, although it's only for a short time... but, fight!" Shesi said, and his figure instantly disappeared. The spot where Shesi had been standing, to its right, instantly cracked from being pushed off.
"Wh..."
One hand gripped Atlee's face.
"Are you the target?"
Atlee gritted his teeth and forced his hand to pass through Shesi's body, but what puzzled Atlee was... the person in front of him... why? He didn't dodge?
Atlee looked at his arm passing through Shesi's body, a little puzzled, but more excited.
"Is this your fighting style? I like it." He kicked Shesi back.
"This body is too weak, isn't it?" Shesi frowned and lowered his head to look at the spot where he had been pierced.
"If it were my old body, it probably wouldn't even leave a mark," Shesi frowned and placed his arm over it, then used magic to restore his body.
The first-year students who had retreated and were watching the battle from a distance were shocked as they watched Shesi and Atlee fight... Is this how demons fight now?
Shesi looked at the scythe in his hand, a smirk on his lips.
"Hellfire."
Purple flames instantly engulfed the scythe, melting it into a long sword.
"This feels more comfortable to use." Then he looked at Atlee.
"Again, kid."
Atlee heard this.
"Big words, kid. Although I like your personality, I will cut out your tongue." Atlee's flushed face made him look extremely excited. Iruma's side was also fighting fiercely.
"Atlee is using that mode, isn't he? Then I'll use it too," Maimaro said, and green flames began to burn around his body. Everyone felt the air around Maimaro instantly become extremely cold.
