Chapter 295 Wings spreading out


    The moment that Nightingale saw Rnd get hit, she could suddenly feel her stomach tightening.


    The surrounding noises all became iparable distant. When she tried to lift his body, she discovered that it had be stiff and cold, only his hands were still slightly trembling. Apart from her subconscious frightened shout at the beginning, she realized that even taking a step forward felt like an iparable challenge.


    She was afraid that Rnd, lying in her bosom was steadily losing his warmth.


    She was also afraid that he would never wake up again.


    Just thinking of these things made it hard for her to breath.


    Never in her life had she ever felt so helpless.


    It was Anna who responded first – she crouched down and covered the wound with her ck me. White smoke immediately began to rise from the lightless me while emitting a “zizi” sounds. When the ck me dissipated, the ce where Rnd’s arm had been torn off had already be scorched ck.


    However, the unceasingly flowing blood had stopped at least.


    That’s right, this was the emergency measure he had taught us during the first aid ss, but what was the rest? ‘Wrap the wound and quickly go to the hospital to find Nana’... Nightingale swallowed a mouthful of saliva, sweeping her gaze over the basket, no, no, Nana isn’t with us, she’s in Border Town.


    We have to go back.


    We must go back as soon as possible!


    She slowly turned her head to the Southeast, looking in the direction of Border Town –


    At this moment, the Devils’ fierce appearance, with them baring their fangs, and brandishing their ws came into Nightingale’s view once again, pulling her thoughts back to the current situation inside the basket.


    The panicked shouts of the witches, the cracking sound of the revolvers, and the low growls of the enemy all came back into her perception. After the coldness subsided, all the various and disorderly thoughts in her mind finally came together to be one.


    “Don’t try to beat the Devils, if they catch up; we are unable to return to Border Town.”


    “Lightning!” Anna eximed anxiously, “Protect the hot air balloon!”


    Although the little girl’splexion was pale, after looking towards the still unconscious Rnd, she gritted her teeth and nodded before she flew out of the basket.


    No, Nightingale thought, just by looking at her appearance it is clear that she cannot handle the Devils. Like most witches, Lightning has no experience with fighting a real enemy.


    I am the only one here who can defeat the Devils.


    Nightingale took a deep breath, she forced all of her thoughts concerning the wounded Prince behind a makeshift veil at the back of her mind. The two Devils are still flying, forming a pincer attack, one at the front, and one at the back. Their throwing arms were as skinny and shriveled as firewood; perhaps it will still take aparatively long moment before they can fully be restored. But from the hot air balloon to where they are is approximately fifty meters, a distance I’m utterly unable to cross – if she cast her fog high up in the sky it was incredibly easy for her slip through and fall, the higher up off the ground she was, the rarer the “lines” she could travel along became. And if she remained on one line for an extended amount of time, the direction of the lines could begin to turn upside down, which could even result in her being torn into several pieces.


    Perhaps the Devils were also aware that once the hot air balloonnded their situation could be tricky. Thus, one Devil waved his three-fingered left hand, and shouted something out loud, then pulled at the reins of his mount and came rushing straight at the balloon.


    At the same time, the other fiercely pounced toward Lightning. pping its immense wings, the demonic beast just looked like a falcon seizing a fledgling, taking its time to wear it out. Just like Nightingale had expected, Lightning was already hard-pressed to protect herself by relying on her nimble movement, making it impossible for her to aim and fire at the enemy. Also, the other witches, now afraid of identally hitting the little girl had also stopped shooting.


    Meanwhile the other mount randomly bit and wed at the balloon’s sac, but fortunately, Soraya’s coating was tough enough to fend off the demonic beast’s ws and tooth. Realizing that its action was in vain, the Demon roared and flew far away, seemingly wanting to use the force of an impact to throw the balloon off bnce.


    Nightingale realized that this would be her best opportunity.


    She released her fog, and the moment a slightly glowing thread appeared on top of her head, she stepped on it without hesitation. She took advantage of the quickly changing outline of the balloon, and was standing on top of the air sac a momentter. Although her body was parallel with the ground, it seemed as if she was walking on level ground, thus she was quickly able to run her way to the balloon’s peak.


    At this moment, the Devil was also rushing toward them.


    In her world of ck and white, Nightingale was surprised to discover that the Devil also had a sparse and slowly rotating magic cyclone, and its thin arm was also iid with a sparkling stone.


    Do they also possess magic?


    But this wasn’t the time to be paying attention to this, for her a dash of ten meters was nothing more than the blink of an eye. So, the moment the Devil was about to hit the hot air balloon, Nightingale had also came out of her fog and appeared behind the Devil.


    Because of the sudden increase of the weight, the giant winged demonic beast suddenly dropped. The Devil, as if it was aware that something was amiss, turned around, only to be greeted with the roaring from Nightingale’s 12mm revolver.


    “Go to hell!”


    The bullet together with a me and smoke rushed out of its cartridge. And then, entered and pierced through the Devil’s head with a great force, opening a bowl like hole at the back of its head. Sticky blood sshed out the next instant, and a pungent smell assaulted her nose.


    The enemy twitched before toppling over which deflected the demonic beast’s movement and caused it to pass by the side of the hot air balloon. Just as Nightingale was about to leap back to the top of the airbag, an ident happened. The falling corpse pulled at the reins, and the beast abruptly rolled over and threw her off.


    Before she even had the chance to react, Nightingale was already out of a safe return distance.


    Although the hot air balloon has been reducing its height, at the moment it was still hundreds of meters above the sea. Stepping into the fog while falling was no different frommitting suicide – if Nightingale couldn’t control her posture and bump into whichever thin line was avable, she’d immediately be cut into two.


    “Nightingale!”


    She heard her sisters cry in horror, but everything seemed useless. Lightning was currently fighting against the other Devil, while Maggie, even if she changed into a sea bird would still be unable to carry her. Thus she knew what would happen next.


    The speed of her fall elerated more and more, and when Nightingale looked down, the ocean, which was originally a blur, revealed its true form. The rolling and sshing waves became more and more clear – it didn’t look as if she was falling, rather it was as if the sea wasing towards her.


    The nearer the inevitable moment came, the clearer were her thoughts.


    Nightingale closed her eyes, and once again seeing the moment she’d first met Rnd. She’d sat on the edge of the bed, and was ying with the dagger in her hand, waiting for the gray-haired 4th Prince to push open the door and enter. The flickering fire, the door, and the bedroom gradually began to fade, ultimately, only leaving his smiling face behind.


    Her only regret was that she wasn’t able to apany him to the end.


    “GooGoo!”


    Suddenly, a series of high tweets sounded. When Nightingale opened her eyes, she saw a white figure rushing straight down, throwing herself at Nightingale’s chest.


    It was Maggie.


    Just when she wanted to say something, the pigeon began to emit eye-piercing bright ray of light, her body began to expand immediately and a pair of enormous flesh like wings opened themselves at her back, her feathers all fell off, and her bird’s head became both fierce and terrifying. She looked exactly the same as a flying demonic beast!


    “Ahool——–!”


    Maggie released a deafening roar, caught Nightingale with her ws and yanked her upwards. Thetter half rolled around in the sky beforending on the bird’s broad back.


    What exactly is going on? Nightingale waspletely shocked.


    “Ahool ahool!” Maggie shouted once more, apparently, she wanted to remind her of something.


    This time even without trantion, Nightingale was able to understand the other’s meaning. Although she couldn’t understand why Maggie was able to change into this form, but right now, the most important thing was to defeat the Devil.


    “Come on,” she shouted.
