It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a dangerous sign.
"We must report this to the lord."
The judge thought to himself.
……
An Yi had already calculated the time to return at full speed, and even left some extra time, so she was able to arrive at the library where she usually frequented before the curfew.
On the way, he felt somewhat fortunate to have his master's sword.
Irene's sword inherently possesses a power similar to [Disorder Magic], which can disrupt the surrounding magic the moment it is summoned.
This is why the magic used to bind An Yi was directly torn apart.
Irene's strength is directly comparable to that of the Demon King's servant. This sword can be used to kill the servant, while a mere level 19 demon is nothing.
Getting back to the main point, using Irene's sword is the fastest and simplest solution.
If he were to break free of the restraints using means other than Irene's sword, it would likely be troublesome, and he would have to resort to some of his trump cards.
They are going to attack the Earl in the future, and if they reveal some of their methods in advance, it will only be detrimental to An Yi.
Master's sword is really useful!
It's a pity that he has only reached the level cap for defeating level 16 demons. If he had the attributes to defeat level 19 demons, he could have killed that [White Judge] on the spot.
Before long, night fell completely.
Meanwhile, An Yi, who had been moving at full speed while wearing the [Pseudo-Demon Lord Veil], safely returned to the library and removed the veil.
Back in the heroes' study room, An Yi was the last to return.
Because he returned too late, he did not go out to assist [Dawn] tonight.
Upon opening the door, he discovered that all the heroes were waiting nearby, their eyes fixed on him.
"It's almost curfew time, is it really necessary to push it to the limit?" The Hero of Thunder, Samson, couldn't help but ask.
"I'm actually curious about what the Sword Hero is investigating," Lana asked with a wry smile.
“Yeah, Annie doesn’t usually come home this late.” Lycorina also wondered, “Did she run into some trouble on the way?”
The heroes present were not stupid; they each had their own doubts and were also aware that something might be going wrong.
Otherwise, if they come back at the last minute, it can't be that they really went too far, right?
Something important must have happened to cause them to wait until the last minute to come back.
They must have obtained some intelligence that they were gathering at breakneck speed.
Everyone tacitly refrained from asking in the chat group, instead waiting for An Yi to return to them.
“I should know why Dawn didn’t want to go to prison and wanted to dump this on us.”
Annie looked around and then said;
"The prison is guarded by a level 19 demon."
"So... wait, a level 19 demon? You saw a level 19 demon?" Samson's eyes widened.
An Yi sent the other party's data to the chat group;
Sword Hero: The White Judge (★19)
Strength: 40 Agility: 90 Stamina: 60
Resilience: 40 Magic: 280 Intelligence: 10
Tip: 50
"So, is he standing on top of the prison? Like a patrolman?" asked the Blood Warrior Milai.
According to the information from [Dawn], the prison seems to be guarded by a level 16 demon?
How did An Yi discover that there was a level 19 demon?
"No."
After An Yi finished speaking, she began to explain everything she had seen;
From initially observing the prison to later wanting to leave, and then encountering the "White Judge".
At this level, even the book given to them by [Dawn] contained almost no information, only the name of the [Chief Judge].
The fact that An Yi encountered them on her trip and brought back all the data for the heroes was already enough to surprise them.
Then, when they heard the other party suddenly make a move and bind An Yi, everyone was shocked.
It could even be described as terrifying!
He and his companions were among the top heroes in the entire hero community, so they naturally knew what the consequences would be if they encountered a demon race that was three levels higher than their level cap.
Putting everything else aside, a level 1 hero can certainly team up to kill a level 3 goblin shaman, but what if a level 1 hero encounters a level 6 goblin champion?
If you can't escape, then wait to die.
In terms of attributes, the White Judge is not the kind of random character with severely unbalanced attributes.
Even if Lin is powerful, he can still be easily crushed!
The demons within the demon territory are not goblins, so there is no conflict with them, and they will not attack without cause.
However...
An Yi was the one who took the initiative to attack!
That means, at least just now, An Yi could have been easily crushed to death!
It was this thought that made the heroes' hearts tighten with fear.
Then came the doubt.
How did An Yi escape?
Before anyone asked, Annie continued;
"They used some special methods, but in short, they escaped."
"Hmm, special methods, huh."
"So it was a special method."
"Hiss... We really can't do without it..."
The heroes tacitly reached a consensus.
An Yi used her special ability to escape from her opponent.
Rather, how are you supposed to run without using special abilities?
At this moment, Lycorina's delicate face was filled with worry as she stared intently at An Yi, looking as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
[Private] Holy Hero: This is way too dangerous! I could really die!
Lycorina remained silent, wondering what An Yi had discovered, but once she spoke, she couldn't help feeling terrified.
I really will die... I really will die!
She couldn't imagine what she would do if An Yi died!
The man who had always put everyone at ease had, in just half a day, fallen into a desperate situation from which there was almost no escape.
How could this not make her afraid?
"That's too dangerous!" Layton exclaimed.
Lycorina wouldn't do that, because even if Anyi really died in an accident, as the saintess, she had to remain calm.
She could certainly express her unease like a brave warrior worried about her teammates.
But as a saintess, she had to be more composed than anyone else.
When everyone is uneasy, she must be able to stand up and calm everyone down.
Even though she was clutching her skirt, her eyes were red from holding back tears, and everyone noticed, they just didn't say anything.
"Yes, I survived anyway." An Yi nodded, not denying the danger.
At the same time, I explained it to Lycorina in the chat group.
[Personal] Sword Hero: My master's sword could disrupt magic, but the magic was dispelled simply by me taking the sword out.
The reason I say it's a special method is because there are heroes here who don't know Ireif.
Explaining who Irene is and why she was given the sword is irrelevant to the present matter.
"Based on observation, the other party did not dare to attack me directly before the curfew."
That's why I was able to escape alive.
None of that matters now; what matters is...
We should go and talk to Dawn.
What are the higher-ups at Dawn thinking, sending them to break into a prison guarded by a level 19 demon?
Chapter 81 [Chaotic Demons], Wild Growth (4k)
The next day.
"What's going on?! Why didn't they tell us there were such powerful demons in the prison?!"
Lana was acting three parts out of ten, but seven parts were genuine anger; she looked like she wanted to cause a scene in front of Rain Witch.
"Give us an explanation!"
"Perhaps it was just a coincidence," Rain Witch replied with a smile on her dark face.
In fact, he had only known about this for a short time.
It's not that I didn't know the prison was guarded by powerful demons, but...
[Chaos Demon] Some members have actually provoked that thing and even survived.
The prison itself is an area monitored by the Dawn Society, so the demons hiding there naturally wouldn't be as conspicuous as An Yi.
The sudden appearance of the White Judge was naturally witnessed by members of the Dawn infiltrating the organization.
