Chapter 3518: Escaped Demon

The three witches were not injured much, except for their spirits being a bit poor. Miss Novare told Xia De that after he left, they risked going out to explore several times for matches and survival supplies. Although they encountered some dangers during the period, none of them caused major problems.

Out of caution, their exploration range was only below the 15th floor. After having the elevator, moving back and forth was much more convenient, so exploring the hotel was much smoother than before.

As for the key that hadn't been traded with the god on the first floor when Xia De left last time, the three witches had already discussed how to use it:

"The three of us have our own wishes. Instead of fighting each other, it's better to wait until we have three keys before going together to trade with that god on the first floor."

Of course, they didn't forget Xia De. Being able to make such great progress in the hotel, this strange man's contribution was the greatest. It's just that the witches couldn't come up with a way to compensate Xia De for the time being, so after Xia De returned this time, they first asked Xia De if he could go to the normal world of this era with them. After receiving an affirmative answer, the witches promised that after everyone left, they would give Xia De a very generous reward.

Even if Xia De got this reward, he couldn't take it back, but he didn't care about these. Miss Corns's wish was to find the escaped demon, but in Xia De's view, she didn't actually need to find it, so if there were really three keys in the end, he could use Miss Corns's key.

"The task given by the god last time was on the 25th floor. Everyone has only been to the 23rd floor at the highest, and the corridor on the 23rd floor is dangerous and cannot be traversed. So this time, let's take the elevator to the 22nd floor first, and then walk up the stairs to the 25th floor."

Xia De said this and asked:

"Who is going with me this time?"

The three witches had also discussed this issue long ago. Miss Gerde said apologetically:

"Last time it was the two of them who went with you. By rights, it should be my turn this time. But my level is the lowest, and I'm really not good at fighting. So let them go this time."

"I'll go first this time."

Miss Corns stood up with her sword. Xia De nodded:

"Okay. But this time, besides preparing living supplies for you, I also brought many useful magic potions and alchemical weapons. I hope everything goes smoothly."

He took out the remaining two black daggers and handed one to Miss Corns:

"You take this; the function of this dagger is..."

Then the dagger was inserted into Miss Corns's chest by Xia De with a backhand. It's just that before Miss Novare and Miss Gerde could react, the female hunter's figure dissipated like foam.

Xia De thought at the very first moment that this was the effect of the dagger and magic potion, and the dream was blending with reality. But he soon reacted that the situation was wrong, turned to look at the door, and the unharmed Miss Corns had already appeared there, even holding the doorknob.

She looked inside and then quickly opened the door. The dagger in Xia De's hand flew toward her with a *Whoosh~*, but was deflected by her using 【Dawn of Breaking】.

As the dagger fell to the ground with a *Clang*, Xia De immediately chased after her. Miss Novare wanted to stop him and ask what was going on and why he attacked his companion, but Miss Gerde stopped the red-haired vampire girl:

"Mr. Hamilton seems to have discovered that Miss Corns was in a sleepwalking state when he left last time. It seems I wasn't wrong; the demon she wants to find has always been in her dream."

"What?"

The 12th-level vampire witch was stunned, just wanting to ask how she didn't notice anything, but Miss Gerde shook her head and said:

"You have a good impression of her; even I can see that. In fact, as long as you observe carefully, you can find many things that are not right. But now is not the time to talk about this. I'll stay to guard the room and this girl who was saved back. You chase after them to see the situation."

So the red-haired vampire picked up the old kerosene lamp from last time and chased out of the room door. Just now, both of them ran toward the left side of the room door, so she also ran toward that side holding the lamp fire.

Although she started ten seconds late, just after crossing the next room door, she saw the silver moonlight swung by Xia De toward the front being blocked by the female hunter in front. The dissipated silver moonlight formed starry light traces in the air, but the light traces were quickly swallowed by the darkness.

And the beautiful ancient hunter, upon seeing the vampire appear, turned and continued to run forward. Xia De threw a confinement halo at her back, but the halo seemed to be swallowed by the invisible ripples behind her.

The doctor introduced the demon's ability; the other party swallowed Xia De's sorcery into the world of dreams. This meant that the demon actively manifested its power, but at this moment it was still in the dream.

The stairwell had already appeared on Miss Corns's left side, and she dived in at once.

"Don't act in the darkness!"

Miss Novare, who caught up, stuffed the candle in her hand to Xia De, and then chased into the stairs with Xia De. The female hunter's figure ran downward along the stairs. Xia De just wanted to chase downward, but was pulled by Miss Novare:

"She's going up. That dream demon seems very good at illusions, but coincidentally, I am also a vampire witch proficient in dream power... Well, I admit I have collected her hair and tasted the taste of her hair."

Miss Corns's speed was extremely fast, but since she was still holding the holy sword and ring, it proved that the demon had not yet manifested. It was highly likely that the "reality" she saw was completely different from what actually happened, which was why she fled from the room.

But since the demon didn't continue to use power to help her, her speed didn't exceed the speed of the two people chasing behind.

Half a minute later, the two sides met again in the stairwell. Miss Corns, who was above, turned and slashed a sword at the two people below, but the dazzling light of dawn was absorbed by Xia De's Night Curtain Seal at close range, while the long sword itself was tightly clamped by Xia De's hands and couldn't move.

Miss Novare leaped, turned into a blood light, crossed Miss Corns, and appeared on the stairs above her, surrounding her with Xia De from above and below.

So the expressionless female hunter poured her own spirit into the long sword in her hand, and the sharp sword light cut toward Xia De's head. Although the attributes of 【Dawn of Breaking】 did not restrain Xia De, Xia De was still unwilling to test whether the Sage-level relic was sharp enough.

"Stop!"

The power of Chloe and Adele to freeze time was used by him at the same time. Although because the target was a relic and a high-level witch possessed by a demon, the effect of the sorcery was not very good, but Miss Corns's momentary pause gave Xia De a chance.

The black chain had already bound 【Dawn of Breaking】 while Miss Corns was awake. Although the Sin Chain only had an effect on existences with desires and could not confine relics, to prevent the chain from touching herself, the female hunter still gave up her weapon at the first moment.

And at this time, Miss Novare, who was higher up behind her, had also launched an attack. However, the red-haired vampire seemed not to want to hurt Miss Corns, so she used the vampire race's signature confinement secret method 【Blood Cross】.

The blood-red cross hit Miss Corns's back squarely, and she was firmly bound by the phantom cross rising from below the stairs. Xia De immediately stabbed the black dagger into her heart position again. Just as the familiar shattering feeling appeared, Miss Corns's figure turned into foam again.

"Another illusion?"

But what was different this time was that the 【Demon Hunting Seal】 fell out of the phantom. Coupled with the sword Xia De was holding not being an illusion, this meant that the female hunter had given up her weapon and status symbol as a hunter. The Dream-Eating Demon - Nagul seemed to be finally about to make a move.

"Can you still sense her?"

Xia De asked Miss Novare, who tried it and pointed upward:

"I can only sense that she went to a certain floor above. The space here is too chaotic; I can't determine the more accurate location... She should also have matches she hid privately; she can completely hide."

The two continued to go upward along the stairs. The location where the illusion shattered was between the 17th and 18th floors, and after continuing upward, they actually arrived at the 25th floor. This was not only the floor where the "Moon Beast" was located, but also the floor where the second task given by the god was located.

Miss Novare had never been to such a high position either. Standing on the stairs looking at the dark corridor, she said hesitantly:

"Did she come to this floor on purpose? Aren't we chasing her? Is she trying to counterattack?"

"Who has the elevator key?"

Xia De asked again, and Miss Novare patted her pocket:

"It's with me. After you left the key, it has been kept by me."

"That's good. If we turn and leave at this time, Miss Corns will probably never come back, so let's go to the 25th floor to see the situation. The mission goal is the damaged wall between Room 2547 and Room 2548. Let's complete this mission first; she will definitely appear during this period. Don't worry, no matter what, I won't leave Miss Corns here."

"What am I worried about? It's you who should be worried. I am not the kind of witch who can't distinguish between priorities. Corns's current situation can already be called a half-demon; I am not unaware of the horror of evil spirit demons."

She looked at the darkness on the 25th floor with a serious expression:

"Although I guessed before that the companions all had problems, I only thought she lied about her origin; I didn't expect her problem to be..."

"Don't talk about this now."

Xia De handed one of the remaining two black daggers to her:

"Find a chance to stab this into Miss Corns's heart; this is the only way to save her."

After stepping into the 25th floor, Xia De immediately smelled a heavy bloody scent. The corridor environment of each floor would be different, and this bloody scent meant that there was at least one powerful enemy related to blood wandering in the corridor of this floor. ===== CHAPTER 3519 =====
