Chapter 307

【The firelight reaching the sky blasted apart the towering trees.】

【Amidst the billowing dust, a figure shrouded in a hood rolled out in a sorry state~.】

【"Huff... huff..."】

【Rapid breathing echoed, and that magnificent chest was also heaving up and down.】

【Listening to the rapid footsteps coming from behind.】

【The woman gritted her teeth tightly.】

【Supporting herself with her legs, she began to run forward.】

【"Hahaha, stop running, you can't escape!!"】

【Wanton laughter came from behind.】

【Immediately after, several figures carrying long blades rushed out from the billowing dust.】

【The burly man in the lead quickly locked his gaze on the figure fleeing in a sorry state ahead.】

【The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.】

【"Go! Catch her, a demon's head is worth a lot of money."】

【As bounty hunters who had been traveling in the vicinity, they had been eyeing the person ahead for a long time.】

【They had long since confirmed that she was a demon.】

【In this era where everyone hates demons, a demon's head could be exchanged for a large sum of money.】

【Therefore, they launched the pursuit.】

【Earlier at the restaurant, several of them had been crouching outside, waiting for this person to come out so they could catch her.】

【But what they didn't expect was that this person's ability was somewhat strange.】

【She actually turned the tables and controlled one of them.】

【Taking advantage of the opportunity created, she escaped.】

【However, having been bounty hunters for many years, they had a unique understanding of tracking.】

【Therefore, they caught up with that demon here.】

【Following the burly man's order.】

【The four or five lackeys behind him immediately burst forward.】

【Magic power was attached to their feet to achieve the effect of increasing speed.】

【The rapid sound of breaking air coming from behind made the woman somewhat panicked.】

【She turned her head; four figures were rapidly closing in.】

【In her desperation, the woman's eyes immediately glowed with white light.】

【"Command! Attack your companion."】

【Among the four people sprinting, the man in the front suddenly stopped his steps!】

【His entire expression also became dull.】

【Immediately after, he raised the large blade in his hand and slashed at his companion beside him!】

【"Old Three!!"】

【That person roared, then raised his blade to block.】

【"Don't be afraid, that demon isn't very strong; being able to control one person is already her limit."】

【The burly man's voice came from behind again.】

【"Old Two, you block Old Three, the rest of you, go directly! That little demon can't hold out!"】

Outside the sky screen.

Inside the Mingfuzhi Sect, which already knew the identity of the hooded woman.

Kyoka looked at Seilah not far away with some astonishment.

"No, at this time... are you this weak?"

All things considered, Kyoka had only met Seilah after the Mingfuzhi Sect was founded.

Therefore, she indeed didn't know what the situation was with Seilah before that.

"More than a hundred years ago..." Seilah frowned slightly.

Seeming to recall something, she said helplessly:

"More than a hundred years ago, I had just been created, so I was indeed not very strong."

"Then why did you have the Book of END with you at that time?" Kyoka asked her doubt again.

After all, in her memory, the Book of END had always been kept by the Underworld King.

It should never have been allowed to be touched by anyone else.

Regarding this, Seilah also gave an explanation.

"When I was first created, the Book of END was near me. I don't know why, but there was a voice in the dark that kept telling me to take END to destroy Zeref."

"Therefore, I traveled the world with the Book of END until I met the Underworld King, and only then did I hand the book over to him."

"So, after that, the Underworld King felt the call of END and followed its instructions to create the Mingfuzhi Sect..." Kyoka nodded in realization.

At this time, the sky screen moved again, and both of their gazes shifted to the sky screen.

【"Understood!"】

【"Haha, 10 million J, here I come!!"】

【The other two guys excitedly raised their blades and rushed over.】

【Seeing this scene, a trace of despair flashed in the woman's eyes.】

【The next moment, the two of them pressed forward.】

【The large blades in their hands slashed mercilessly at the woman's body.】

【Whoosh————!!!】

【An abrupt sound of breaking air echoed at this moment!】

【A stone flying from nowhere, as if carrying the force of a thousand pounds, smashed fiercely onto the blade slashing at the woman.】

【Bang————!!】

【The powerful force shattered one long blade directly, forcing the other person swinging to stop in their tracks.】

【The broken blade fell to the ground.】

【The frightened woman also fell to the ground on her bottom.】

【Her hood slid off accordingly.】

【Revealing that face that was exquisite to the extreme, and... the two horns on top of her head that looked like bull horns!】

【This is the symbol of a demon, but rather than a demon, it would be more like... a beast-eared girl.】

【After all, the woman's entire body was no different from a human's, only having a pair of horns on her head.】

【"Who is it?!!"】

【Behind, the burly man, as well as Old Three who had just been controlled, and Old Two, all arrived here, their fierce eyes scanning everywhere.】

【Even the woman who had fallen to the ground looked up in astonishment.】

【Everyone could clearly see Black Natsu sitting on a thick tree branch not far away, crossing his legs.】

【"Is it... you??"】

【The woman's voice was somewhat surprised!】

【"Where did this brat come from?!" Don't you want to live anymore?"】

【The burly man looked at Black Natsu angrily.】

【But Black Natsu ignored their thoughts and instead looked at the woman on the ground.】

【Being watched by Black Natsu's gaze, the woman blinked, then as if thinking of something.】

【She scrambled to put her hood back on.】

【"No need to hide it."】

【Black Natsu above spoke.】

【"I saw long ago that you are not human!"】

【The woman's hand froze in mid-air.】

【Biting her lower lip tightly, she raised her head, her tear-filled eyes looking at Black Natsu.】

【Her expression appeared somewhat aggrieved.】

【"So! Are you also here to kill me and take me to exchange for the bounty?"】
