Daniel ran towards Lydia desperately, but it was obvious that he was too late. The monster was too fast and it was useless for any of them.

At that moment, Daniel wished that it was him who was swallowed by the monster, so that he could fulfill his responsibility as a brother and no longer have to suffer the pain of loneliness.

In fact, although he has two family members, he has always felt that he is lonely. No one understands him and no one really cares about him.

There is always a huge feeling of emptiness deep in his heart, and he often doubts whether he exists. Only when he pays for Lidia can he find a glimmer of comfort and feel that he is valuable.

But now, everyone in the Knights has been killed, and the rest are seriously injured. I don't know if they can survive. And now his only sister is also going to be taken away. She is the last one who can let him find his self-worth.

people.

He ran like crazy, trying to rush over to stop the giant beast, but in the end he was helpless. He could not change Lidia's fate, he could only watch her being swallowed by the monster.

Emil and Margaret also wanted to save her, but they also understood that it was too late.

After the monster swallowed its first prey, it burped with satisfaction, and then moved its eyes to the remaining three people.

"Damn you, please bring back Lady Lidia!"

Filled with rage, Margaret fired magic missiles at the monster's face.

However, the monster that turned into a giant wolf moved very fast and easily dodged all the missiles while constantly approaching her.

Emil quickly pulled her onto Lilith's back, and then with Lilith's help, he quickly escaped from the monster's attack range.

However, just when Emil wanted to pick up Daniel, he found that he actually ran towards the monster, as if he was about to kill the enemy.

The huge monster naturally didn't pay attention to a tiny human like him, but he couldn't let go of any human, so he opened his mouth without hesitation.

Of course, Daniel did not go to die. After approaching the monster, he directly released his sword skills, and his body disappeared immediately.

However, the monster was not surprised at all, because it could sense Daniel's existence. Rather, its vision was not strong and it mainly relied on its body's perception ability.

Therefore, when Daniel walked around behind the monster and planned to climb on its body to attack it at close range, the monster shook its body vigorously and threw him away in an instant.

Fortunately, under Emil's command, Lilith jumped up and caught him accurately, but found that after this failure, he had become like a walking zombie, with a lifeless face.

This inevitably reminds Emil of the recruit he saw in the weapons workshop. After realizing that he had lost hope, he chose to give up on himself.

Emil also felt heartbroken about Lidia being swallowed by a monster, and even felt empty in his heart, because he would never see the girl with the smile like a flower again, but was this the reason for them to give up?

Emil knew very well that if he chose to give up, even if Lidia was still here, she would definitely look down on him.

So, he slapped Daniel hard, hoping to wake him up, but maybe the force was too weak, and the other person didn't care at all and just continued to lower his head.

When Emil saw him like this, he suddenly became furious and asked Lilith to throw him to the ground. Lilith's back was six or seven meters away from the ground, so this time he finally woke up and he suddenly curled up in pain.

Body.

However, Emil had no sympathy for this cowardly man and just looked at him coldly.

"Is he, is he okay?" Margaret said with a worried look.

"Hmph, leave him alone, let's go and avenge Lidia." Emil snorted coldly and looked at the monster that was flying towards him.

"Well, I must make this guy pay the price." Margaret also said viciously.

In order to prevent Daniel from being affected, Emil asked Lilith to take them to continue moving. Although the monster was very fast, Lilith had the help of wings and could easily get rid of the opponent even if he could not fly.

At the same time, Emil stared at the monster with a serious face, his brain was running rapidly, and he was thinking of countermeasures.

After a few minutes, Lilith became a little tired and her speed gradually slowed down, while the monster behind her kept approaching.

At this time, Emil finally thought of a way, so he ordered Lilith to let him down, and asked her to take Margaret and run further away.

"But Emil, what are you going to do?" Lilith's tone was filled with worry, "You don't even have a weapon, how can you compete with that guy."

"Haha," Emil chuckled and explained, "Of course I know this, so I won't resist."

"Huh? What an inexplicable idea this is."

Margaret expressed her incomprehension. She had heard about Emil before and thought he was so smart, but in the end he would come up with such an unreasonable method.

"Emil, while I still have the strength, let's go together." Lilith also persuaded him.

"No, no, I hope you will cooperate. As for the result, you will understand it by then." Emil insisted not to leave, but showed a meaningful smile.

Lilith hesitated for a moment. Seeing Emil's stubborn look, she finally chose to obey. After all, Emil was her master now, but he did not speak to her in a commanding tone. This moved her quite a bit and also

I would rather believe that Emir would not make fun of his own life.

"Oh, okay, take care of yourself."

Seeing that Lilith agreed, Margaret no longer hesitated.

Then one person and one dragon continued to retreat towards the town. However, Margaret suddenly thought of something and quickly told Lilith to stop.

"Wait a minute, I have something to give to Emil."

"Oh?" Lilith stopped.

"What is it?" Emil asked quickly.

"……this."

Margaret took out a small object from her pocket and threw it to him.

Emil caught it easily, and after taking a closer look, he found that it was an emerald, which he could just hold with one hand.

"This is……"

"It's a communication device." Margaret explained, "As long as you hold that, I can talk to you without being restricted by distance."

"That's great, thank you." Emil nodded and said with a smile.

"Haha, it's okay. After all, we are on the same front now."

After Margaret finished speaking, she left under the leadership of Lilith.

After a while, Emil was finally caught up. Even the monsters found it incredible that he was standing there, but they didn't think much about it and opened the abyss's maw, intending to swallow him in one bite.

On the other hand, Emil did not put up much resistance and was directly swallowed by the monster. At that moment, Emil smiled as if his plan had succeeded.

…

On the other side, Lilith ran away with Margaret, but she didn't believe it if she said she wasn't worried about Emil.

She had stayed in the basement for decades, and she was really tired of that kind of life, but she just didn't want to say it out loud. She decided to wait until Mosswood died and never sign a contract with humans again.

However, after meeting Emil and hearing his caring words, Lilith felt warmth for the first time in her life, something she had never felt when she was with Mosswood.

She finally understood that she could no longer get rid of humans. She liked the feeling of being needed, so she still chose to sign a contract with Emil.

Not long after, she brought Margaret to the city wall, then put her on the ground, and planned to go back to help Emil, but as soon as she turned around, she witnessed the scene of Emil being swallowed by a monster, and a wave of

A feeling of loss suddenly exploded in her heart.

"Emil..." she murmured softly.

However, just when she fell into sadness, she suddenly felt that her body was out of control, as if driven by a powerful force, she gradually flew up from where she was.

Immediately afterwards, Lilith, who was completely at a loss, disappeared. Margaret was stunned by this development.

She hurriedly looked for Lilith on the battlefield, but she couldn't find it. She only saw the monster flying towards her after swallowing Emil.

"Tsk."

Margaret secretly screamed that something was wrong, and quickly tightened her wand, preparing for a fight to the death.

However, the monster's body seemed to have undergone another change, and its belly suddenly swelled, as if it had swallowed something huge.

Then a huge fireball actually broke through his stomach and flew out.

Perhaps because the damage was caused from the inside out, the monster let out a deafening scream of pain. A huge hole appeared in its belly, and blood flowed instantly.

"Hey, Margaret, can you hear me? The rest is up to you."

Suddenly, Margaret heard a familiar voice, and it took her a moment to realize that it was Emil speaking.

"Ah? What's going on? It turns out you're fine."

"Humph, of course it's okay. Release your magic quickly and give this guy the final blow." Emil's rather proud voice came from her communication device.

So she observed the monster carefully and finally discovered a huge figure from the hole in its belly. It was Lilith.

It turns out that the moment Emil was swallowed by the monster, he used the power of the contract to summon Lilith into the monster's belly.

In this way, the monsters could not escape Lilith's attack. In addition, Emil also successfully rescued Lydia, who had not been digested and absorbed by the monsters. Fortunately, she only fell into a coma.

When Emil first used this trick on Christy, Lilith didn't know what was going on. Now that she finally understood, she couldn't help but sigh that Emil was much smarter than Mosswood and could actually think of such an operation.

Because they were in an almost closed space, in order to prevent Emil and Lydia from being affected by the dragon's breath, Lilith specially used her wings to protect the two of them, and then broke the monster's belly.

At this time, the injured monster was shocked. He probably did not expect that he would be deflated. Since there was a big hole in his stomach, his movements were also affected, so he decided to use all his strength to recover from the injury.

However, Margaret would not give it this chance. She immediately used all the magic power in the gem to release a more powerful magic missile.

The monster had no time to evade, and its huge body suddenly became a living target. It was riddled with holes in an instant, and no matter how powerful its self-healing ability was, it could not be restored.

After seeing this scene, Emil finally felt relieved. He understood that everything was over and the victory of this battle belonged to mankind after all.

However, he relaxed too early. As a witch, Margaret was very sensitive to magic, and she noticed something was wrong.

The monster's body was smashed and fell to the ground. A large amount of dust was instantly stirred up, covering the entire battlefield, but there was still a huge magic reaction.
