Chapter 32 Chapter 31: The Battle of the Logging Depression

Standing at the outermost edge of the square is the main force - the lumberjack.Long hours of chopping and hauling timber had made them all robust, but some aged loggers were past their prime, like Young Gray; .They huddled together in a portable magic circle, their palms were already sweating while holding the handle of the ax, quietly waiting for the moment of the decisive battle. Behind the logger, the three fattest cows are tied to stakes in the center of the square.They ate the drugged dinner prepared by Lisa, and they were lying on the ground and sleeping soundly. After the cow is the largest rune circle.These fighters are not as strong as the loggers, but they are definitely the main force in number, nearly half of them are women, and the youngest is only fifteen years old.They stood grimly beside their husbands, fathers, brothers and sons.But Doug the Butcher's wife, Mellen, was as tall as a lumberjack, with a rune knife in her hand.

Behind them is the pit covered with oilcloth, and directly in front of the gate of the church is the third circle of magic seals. Stephanie and other townspeople who are too young or too weak to run around in the muddy square stand with spears in their hands. Among them, stop with static. Almost all townspeople wield rune weapons.Some of them with short weapons also used bucket lids as wooden shields, with taboo sigils painted on them.The Moyinren only made one wooden shield like this, but other people copied it exactly. A group of teenagers stood on the edge of the corral fence, behind the rune posts, armed with bows and slings, acting as heavy artillerymen.Several adults held Thunder Rods and Bane's thin glass bottle, corked with a damp cloth.Younger children, holding oil lamps and wearing hoods to keep out the rain, were responsible for lighting the weapons.Those who didn't want to fight huddled with the livestock in the shelter behind them, where many of Bruna's celebration fireworks had been prepared.

Many people are hesitant, wanting to join in the fun and participate in the battle for a while, but regretting it for a while, preferring to be laughed at by the townspeople and hide behind the magic seal, such as Andy.As the Spellman rode the Dawn Dancer around the square, he saw many people looking eagerly at the corral, their faces filled with terror. When the monster in the center of the earth appeared, there were shouts one after another, and the villagers backed away in fright, their faith on the verge of collapse.The battle had not yet begun, and fear nearly overwhelmed the townspeople of Logging Hollow.The weakness of demons that the Rubidding people speak of is not at all inspiring in the face of powerful fear.

The Mosiri noticed that Ben was shaking, that one of his trouser legs was wet; he dismounted and stood beside the glassmaker, emboldening him. "Why are you standing outside, Ben?" He raised his voice so everyone could hear him. "My...my daughters," Bane said, pointing to the sept.The spear in his hand almost fell out of his palm. The Moyinren nodded.Most of the townspeople of Logging Hollow fight to protect their loved ones lying in the sanctuary.Otherwise, they would rather hide in the corral.He pointed to the geocentric monster in the square. "Are you afraid of them?" he asked, his voice still loud.

"Yes... yes." Ben tried to reply, tears streaming down his face.Others nodded one after another. The Mosiri took off his robes.The townspeople had never seen him take off his clothes, and everyone stared at him with tattoos all over his body. "Watch," he said to Ben, but really meant for everyone to hear. He walked out of the magic circle and strode towards a wood demon that was just beginning to gather its shape.He looked back, trying to meet the eyes of the townspeople in Logging Hollow.Seeing that their attention was focused on him, he shouted: "Look, these are the things you are afraid of!"

The Moyinren suddenly turned around and struck out violently, hitting the jaw of the earth core monster with a palm, and hitting the wood demon over seven feet tall in a burst of magic light.Screaming in agony, the demon jumped up, flinching, ready to fight back.The townspeople stood there dumbfounded, their eyes fixed on each other, and everyone thought that the Moyinren would surely die. The wooden demon rushed forward, but the Moyinren kicked off a straw sandal, turned around, and kicked the earth core monster at close range.His heel hit the hard shell of the demon's chest with a thunderous sound, and the demon fell backward again, its chest blackened.

A smaller wood demon rushed to help while he was chasing its prey, but the sigil grabbed his forearm, dodged behind it, and thrust its sigil thumb into the opponent's eyes.There was only a sizzling sound, and the earth core monster howled loudly, scratched its face with its claws, and fell to the side. Seeing the blind demon circling around in circles, the Moyinren once again rushed towards a fleeing demon, and turned to face it.He turned sideways and jumped up when he was close to the monster in the center of the earth, and the magic seal arm clasped the opponent's head tightly.He squeezed hard, completely ignoring the demon's struggle to get rid of him. He waited for the magic power to gather quickly, and finally, in a burst of magic power, crushed the demon's head and fell into the mud together.

The Maulian stood up from the corpse, and the other demons stepped back to keep a distance from him, hissing and searching for his weak spot.The Mosiul yelled at them, and the few demons standing close turned and ran away. "It's not you to be afraid of, Bane!" cried the Rune, in a voice like a storm. "It's them to be afraid of!" He walked over to Ben, who was no longer trembling. "The next time you feel scared," he said, picking up his robe and wiping the mud off himself, "remember that." The townspeople in the logging depression didn't make a sound, but many of them knelt down and gestured magic seals in front of them.

"Liberator," Bane murmured, and the others followed in low tones. The Moyinren shook his head vigorously, and the rain scattered in all directions. "You are the Liberator!" he growled, poking hard at Bane's chest. "And you!" he yelled, turning around and grabbing a man kneeling at his feet. "You are all liberators!" he roared vigorously, waving his fingers at all the people standing in the night. "If the monsters in the center of the earth are afraid of one liberator, let them face a hundred liberators!" He waved his fist, and the townspeople clamored in unison.

This scene surprised the newly formed demons, they wandered back and forth, roaring in a low voice.They slowed down a lot, lowered their bodies one after another, and stretched their muscles. The sigil turned to his left, his sigil eyes peering into the darkness.The fire demon avoided the water-logged ditch, but the wood demon ignored it and continued along the ditch. "Fire," he called, pointing to the ditch. Bane rubbed a flame stick with his thumb, shielding his palm from the wind and rain, and lit a flaming whistle fuse.The fuze sizzled, and Bane raised his arm, throwing the flame whistle into the ditch.

The fuze burned out in mid-air, and the end of the flaming whistle burst into flames.The thick paper tube turned into a steam wheel and rotated rapidly, making a sharp whistling sound when it fell into the fuel slurry in the trench. Wood demons screamed and screamed in the sea of ​​fire at their feet and knees.They ran away, slapping the flames on their bodies in panic, splashing fuel and spreading the fire. The fire demon leaped joyfully into the sea of ​​flames, completely forgetting to hide the stagnant water beneath.The Mosiri smiled as they screamed as the rain boiled. The flames shrouded the square in flickering flames, and the townspeople gasped after seeing the number of demons pouring out in front of them.The wind demon pierced the sky and flew around in the wind and rain.The nimble fire demon turned around, its eyes and mouth glowed red, illuminating the silhouette of the huge demon at the periphery of the enemy formation.And wood devils, lots and lots of wood devils. "It's like the dryads in the forest against the woodcutters," said Young Gray in awe, and many of the woodcutters nodded in horror. "I haven't touched a tree in my life that I can't cut down." Galder growled, raising the axe.These words aroused the fighting spirit of the loggers and boosted their morale. The monster in the center of the earth quickly turned against the wolf, and rushed towards the lumberjacks with its teeth and claws.The force field of the sigil held them back, and the lumberjack raised his ax to strike. "Hold on!" the Mosiul yelled, "Keep your strategy in mind!" Everyone was ready to go, allowing the demons to charge into the force field in vain.The monster in the center of the earth wandered along the periphery of the magic seal circle, trying to find the weak point, and soon the figure of the logger was submerged in the wave of bark formed by the demon. The first to spot a cow was a fire demon smaller than a cat.With a squeal, it jumped onto the back of a cow, digging in with its claws.The cow woke up with a start, howling in pain as the imp bit off a piece of hide. The sound caused the other geogens to leave the lumberjacks and pounce on the cows, tearing them to shreds, blood mingling with the rain and staining the muddy ground.There was even a wind demon that swooped down, bit off a piece of beef, and then fled back to the sky. In a blink of an eye, the cow was devoured until there was no bones left, but the earth core monster became even more crazy under the stimulation of blood.They moved towards the next magic seal circle, attacked the magic seal force field, and splashed bursts of magical sparks. "Hold on!" the rune shouted to the loggers.He moved the spear behind him, watched the demon intently, and waited. Then he saw it.A demon staggered and lost his balance. "Now!" He roared, jumped out of the magic circle, and pierced a demon's head with a single shot. The townspeople in the logging depression launched an attack amidst a burst of primitive roars, killing a group of poisoned earth core monsters, slashing and stabbing wantonly.The demon screamed loudly, but staggered under the effect of Lisa's drug, and his reaction was very slow.The townspeople attacked in groups as instructed, stabbing from behind while the demons diverted their attention.The sigil weapon glowed brightly, and this time it was the black ichor of demons that spilled into the air. Mellen sliced ​​cleanly off a wooden demon's arm with a butcher's knife, while her husband, Doug, drove a meat cleaver into the demon's armpit.The wind demon who had just eaten the medicine cow fell on the square, Bane twisted his spear vigorously, and pierced the hard shell of the monster in the center of the earth in the magic light of the magic seal spearhead. The townspeople holding the shields found that the devil's claws could not break through the magic seal on the wooden shields, and their confidence immediately increased, and they accelerated their attacks on the dizzy earth core monsters. But not all the demons have eaten the beef with the disease medicine, and the demons at the rear began to push forward.The Moyinren waited until the effect of the surprise attack had reached its maximum, and then shouted: "Gunners are ready!" The children in the corral shouted in unison, loaded glass bottles into catapults, and aimed them at the demons crowded in front of the lumberjack's sigil circle.The thin glass shattered in front of the wood demon's bark-like shell, spilling a liquid that not even the rain could wash away.The demon yelled loudly, but could not break through the sigil posts of the small corral. While the monster in the center of the earth was being burned madly, the oil lampman was busy running around, lighting the arrowhead wrapped in asphalt rags and the fuse of the fireworks prepared by Bruna.They didn't fire at the same time as instructed, but the result was not much different, the first rocket fired and ignited the liquid demon fire on the back of one wooden demon, and the demon screamed and crashed into the other wooden demon.The opponent also caught fire and burned.Celebration firecrackers, hand cannons, and flaming whistles mingled with a torrent of rockets, bright lights and loud noises that scared some demons away and set others ablaze.The night sky is brightened with burning demons. One of the flame whistles hit the shallow ditch in front of the Lumberjack's sigil, which stretched across the square.Sparks ignited the liquid demon fire in the ditch, and the fire was out of control. Several wooden demons caught fire immediately, and the remaining demons were kept out of the line of fire. But between the magic circles and the places far away from the fire, the two sides had already fought inextricably.The demons who ate the oxen fell, but their companions terrified the armed townspeople.The team began to disperse, and some townspeople backed away in fear, leaving the earth core monster with a chance to break through the front line. "Lumberjack!" cried the Rune as he stabbed a fire demon to death. With no worries now, Gard and the other loggers shouted in unison, jumped out of the rune circle, and attacked the demons surrounding the rune troops from behind.Even without magical protection, the wood demon's shell is still as hard as old bark, but cutting bark is common for woodcutters, and the magic seal on their axes completely restrains the magic of the demon's shell. Gard was the first Lumberjack to feel the shock of the magic within the demons, and used the power of the inner monsters themselves to fight them.The shock of magic went up the ax handle, causing a brief tingle in his arm, but also an unspeakable joy—an instant increase in strength.He slashed at the demon's head with one blow, and with a roar, he faced the second demon.The devil was attacked from the front and back, and was hit hard.Hundreds of years of memory have made them believe that human beings are not afraid at all, so they are caught off guard when encountering resistance.Vanda behind the balcony window of the cathedral choir never failed to shoot, and each sigil arrow pierced the demon's body like lightning. There was a strong smell of blood in the air, and the screams of pain spread far away.There was a battle cry from the earth core monster in the distance. Reinforcements from the enemy keep pouring in, and the townspeople of Logging Hollow are in a desperate situation. It didn't take long for the demons to break through the disadvantages.Even without the invulnerable shell, there are still not many people in the world who can confront the wood demon head-on.Even the weakest demon has the same strength as Galder, and ordinary people can't compare with the power of demons at all. Meren charged at the fire demon, which was about the size of a big dog, the butcher's knife was stained with the pus of the wood demon.She held the wooden shield in front and the butcher's knife behind, ready to attack. The earth core monster roared and spit out a ball of flaming saliva at her.She raised the wooden shield to defend, but the magic seal on the shield could not prevent fire, and the wooden shield caught fire.Mellen screamed as his arm was burned and fell to the ground, rolling in the mud.The demon pounced and was saved by her husband Doug at a critical moment. The burly butcher disemboweled the fire demon like a pig, but when the other party's lava-like blood ignited his leather apron, he screamed and swung his knife. skirt, ignoring the devil's attack. A wooden demon landed on all fours, bowed and dodged Ivan's sharp axe, jumped up when he was not paying attention, and threw him down.Seeing that the devil opened his mouth and was about to bite it off.He screamed, and then he heard a bark, and his hounds swooped in from the side, knocking the demon away.Aiwen immediately got up and slashed at the earth core monster on the ground, but a hound was brutally killed by the demon.Aiwen roared angrily, made up with an axe, and then turned to face the other demon, with anger gushing out of his eyes like flames. At this moment, the demon in the shallow ditch burned out, and the wooden demon on the other side rushed forward. "Thunderbolt!" the Spellman yelled as Dawndancer trampled a stone demon to death. On receiving the order, the oldest of the gunners drew their most precious and powerful weapons.The total number of Thunder Rods was less than a dozen, because Bruna was unwilling to do more, fearing that such a powerful weapon would be misused. They lighted the fuses and threw the thunder rods at the demons in front of them.One of the townspeople slipped his hand, and the Thunderstick fell into the mud.He quickly bent down to pick it up, but it was too late.The thunder rod exploded in his hand, blowing him and the oil lamp holder into pieces, and several people nearby were knocked to the ground, screaming in pain. A thunder rod exploded between the two wooden demons.The demon fell to the ground, badly injured.One of the bark shells caught fire and was unable to get up; the other end extinguished the flames in the mud, twitched a few times and then put its paws on the ground, struggling to get up.The magic within him began to heal itself. Another thunder rod slammed into a nine-foot stone demon, who caught it and threw it over his head, staring curiously at it as it exploded before his eyes. When the smoke dissipated, the demon stood there calmly and continued to charge towards the townspeople in the center of the square.Wonda shot three heavy arrows at him, but it only roared a few times and continued to sprint furiously. Gard stepped forward and yelled at it with his throat open.The tall lumberjack lowered his head to avoid the demon's attack, and chopped into its chest with an axe, and the pleasure of magical energy surged from his arm.The demon eventually collapsed to the ground, drained of energy, and Gard stood on top of it to pull the ax out of its thick carapace. A wind demon swooped down, nearly slicing Flynn in half with its barbed claws.There was a scream from the window in the balcony of the choir, and Wonda shot the inner geoglyph with an arrow, but the damage was done, too, and her father fell to the ground. A wooden demon swung its claws down, decapitating Lun, and his head flew more than ten meters away.At the same time that his ax fell to the mud, his son Lind had rushed to chop off the demon's arm. Near the right corral, Young Gray brushed past the demon's claw, but the blow knocked the old man down.The earth core monster chased after the old man who was struggling and crawling on the ground, but Andy suddenly whimpered, jumped out of the magic seal circle, picked up Lun's ax and slashed the demon's back fiercely. Others poured out of the corral, forgetting all fear, picking up the weapons of the dead or dragging the wounded to safety.Kit stuffed rags over the last bottle of demon fire, ignited it, and threw it at a wood demon to cover his sisters dragging a wounded man into the corral.The wood demons were on fire, and Kit cheered, until a fire demon jumped on top of the flaming core, screaming with joy in the flames.Kit ran, but the Fire Demon sprinted onto his back and pinned him down. Mosiri roam the battlefield, sometimes stabbing demons with spears, and sometimes massacring opponents with their bare hands.Dawn Dancer was at his side, engaging in the melee with hooves and horns.They rushed to where the battle was fierce to disperse the monsters in the center of the earth, and then left them for the townspeople to slaughter them to their heart's content.He has blocked the demon's fatal blow several times, rescued the townspeople in distress, and encouraged them to continue fighting. During the chaos, a group of earth core monsters broke through the center line of the square, passed through the second circle of magic seals, stepped on the tarpaulin, and fell into a trap full of magic seal spikes.Most of the demons twitched violently, doomed, but one avoided the spikes at the bottom and climbed up the opening.A spelled ax decapitated him before he had a chance to return to battle or try to flee. However, the monsters in the center of the earth continued to emerge, and after the deep pit was exposed, they began to detour.After a scream, the Moyinren immediately turned around, only to see that the door of the sanctuary was already in a hard fight.The monsters in the center of the earth could smell the sick and wounded in the temple, frantically splashing blood and pus to break through the defense line and start a massacre.Now even the magic seals drawn on the wooden boards are deformed by the constant rain, washed or covered. The grease smeared on the stone floor outside the temple door slowed down the attack speed of the monsters in the center of the earth.Several demons fell to the ground, or hit the force field of the third magic circle.But they opened their claws and plunged into the ground, moving on. The woman at the door hid in the magic seal circle and attacked the demon with a spear, temporarily blocking the demon's offensive, but Stephanie's spearhead got stuck in a demon's shell, and she was pulled out of the magic seal circle. One leg became entangled in the rope of the portable sigil circle in the struggle.The magic seal card was pulled out of place, and the magic seal network immediately collapsed. The runes rushed as fast as they could, across the twelve-foot-wide pit, but they were a step too late.When he rushed into the battle, many people had already fallen at the entrance of the church, bleeding all over the place. After the scuffle ended, he and the few remaining women stood there panting. Surprisingly, Stephanie was still alive.She was splattered with pus, but seemed fine, and there was a conviction in her eyes. A tall wooden demon rushed towards them, and they turned around at the same time, ready to fight, but the earth core monster suddenly crouched before it could enter the attack range, jumped up, jumped over their heads, and rushed up the stone wall of the sanctuary.Its claws easily found a gap in the wall, and it scrambled up the wall before the rune had a chance to grab its tail. "Be careful!" the Mosiul yelled at Wonda, but she was so focused on aiming that she didn't hear his warning at all.The demon grabbed her and tossed her behind her, as if throwing something in its way.The Maulian rushed out, skimming the grease and mud on the ground, catching his mangled body before he landed, but in an instant, the demon had jumped through the window and entered the sanctuary. The magic seal man rushed to the side door, but stopped immediately after turning the corner, looking at the dozen or so demons in front of him who were standing there in a daze with the magic seal of confusion.With a roar, he charged at the demon, knowing that he would never make it to the sanctuary in time. Painful groans echoed from the stone walls of the sanctuary, which stimulated the continuous roar of the demons outside the door, and made everyone tense up.In the church, some people wept loudly; some people shook slowly, trembling with fear; some people tossed and turned, talking nonsense. Lisa tried to keep everyone calm, to comfort the sane and mildly medicated so that they would not tear the stitches in their own wounds, or prevent the delirious from committing suicide in extreme fear. "I can fight!" insisted Smit, and the strong innkeeper ignored Roger's dissuasion and dragged the poor bard along. "You are unwell!" Lisa rushed forward and shouted, "You will die if you go out!" As she walked, she poured the powder from the small bottle into a rag.Just press the rag on his face and the powder instantly stuns him. "My Stephanie's out there!" Smit yelled. "My sons and daughters!" He grabbed Liza's wrist as he raised the rag and pushed her aside.She fell on top of Roger, and they fell into a ball.Smit reached out to lift the latch of the gate. "Smit, don't!" Lisa screamed, "You're going to let the devil in and kill us all!" But the delirious innkeeper ignored her warning, grabbed the latch with both hands, and lifted it up with all his strength. Darcy grabbed his shoulders, turned him around, and punched him in the jaw.The punch sent Schmidt slumping to the ground after another turn. "Sometimes the most straightforward method is more effective than herbs and needlework." Daxi said, shaking her hands to relieve the sting. "I finally know why Bruna keeps using a cane." Lisa agreed.The two men took Schmidt by the arm and pulled him back to the bedding.Behind the gate, there was a sudden thunderous beating sound. "It sounds like all the demons in the Geocentric Demon Realm are trying to break in." Daxi murmured. "There was a crash upstairs, followed by Vonda's scream. The balustrade of the choir balcony shattered and the beams collapsed, crushing the man directly below and injuring another. A huge body jumped into the The crowd, falling on a patient, yelled, and broke her neck before the patient knew what was going on." The wooden demon stood up, tall and terrifying, at that moment, Li Sha felt that her heart had stopped beating.She and Darcy froze in place, Schmitt becoming a deadly burden to both of them.The magic seal spear that the magic mark man gave her leaned against the wall, and it was far away. Even if he brought it with him, he doubted whether he could stop this huge earth core monster.The demon yelled at them, and he felt his knees go limp as dough. Then Roger appeared, standing between them and the demon.The earth core monster roared at him, but he swallowed vigorously.All instincts told him to run, but he rested the violin on his chin, put the bow on the strings, and the sad and mournful melody echoed in the church. The earth core monster bared its teeth and claws at the bard, its teeth were sharp and sharp, like sharp knives, but Roger continued to play, and the wood demon hesitated, staring at him curiously with his head sideways, as if he was thinking about something. Soon after, Roger began to rock from side to side.The demon's eyes focused on the violin, and he made the same movements. Confidence increased, Roger took a step to the left. The devil complied. He stepped back to the right, and the earth core monster still did the same. Roger continued to play, slowly making a circle around the wood demon.The possessed demon followed his footsteps step by step until it was far from the terrified patient.At this time Lisa had put down Schmidt and retrieved his Sigil Spear.Attacking a demon with a magic spear as small as a thorn might easily be countered by a tall demon, but she went forward without hesitation, knowing that such an opportunity was fleeting.She gritted her teeth, accelerated her sprint, and thrust the magic seal spear into the vest of the earth core monster with all her strength. She saw a bright light, felt magical energy rush up her arms, and bounce back.She watched the demon scream and struggle, trying to free the sigil spear that was still gleaming on his back.Roger stepped aside, dodging the demon's final blow before dying.The demon smashed open the door of the sanctuary, and then fell dead. The demons cheered loudly, poured through the gate, and then were infected by Roger's music.He no longer played the peaceful tune before, but played a sharp and piercing single tone, forcing the earth core monster to cover its ears, and staggered back out. "Li Sha!" The side door was suddenly knocked open, and Li Sha turned around to see the magic seal man who was covered in devil's pus and his own blood rushing in, looking around eagerly.He saw the wood demon's body lying on the ground, then turned to meet her gaze, and the concern was palpable. She wanted to rush into his arms, but he had already turned and rushed towards the broken door.Roger is in charge, and his music blocks the way of the devil like a magic seal.The sigil kicked the wood demon's body away, pulled out the sigil spear and threw it back into Lisa's hand, and charged into the night again. Li Sha looked at the killing scene in the square through the gate, her heart tightened suddenly.Dozens of children lie dead or wounded in the mud, and fighting tends to intensify. "Darcy!" she yelled, and Dashy rushed to her side, and the two of them ran off into the night, struggling to drag the wounded into the sanctuary. When Lisa arrived, Wang Da was lying on the ground gasping for breath, her clothes were torn and covered in blood where the demon scratched her.A wooden demon rushed forward when she and Daxi bent over to lift her, but Lisa took out the medicine bottle from her apron and threw it, shattering it in the demon's face.The solvent swallowed the demon's eyes, and the demon raised his head and wailed in pain. Two herbalists hurriedly carried the wounded man into the sanctuary. Li Sha gave a few loud instructions to the assistant, and then rushed into the square again.Roger stood at the door, constantly pulling out harsh scales, forming a wall of music, keeping the passage clear, and guarding Lisa and other people who helped transport the injured. The fighting ebbed and flowed throughout the night, giving weary townspeople the chance to run back to the sigil circle or into the sanctuary to catch their breath, or even drink their water.There was an hour where no demons were seen at all, and an hour after that they had to fight a group of demons who had apparently come from miles away to aid them. The rain stopped, but no one remembered exactly when it stopped, all their thoughts were on fighting the demons or helping the wounded.The lumberjacks formed a human wall at the entrance of the sanctuary, and Roger toured the square, driving away demons with his violin so that the townspeople could help the wounded. When the first rays of dawn pierced the horizon, the mud on the square had mixed with human blood and demon pus into a disgusting slime, and there were corpses and stumps everywhere.The townspeople ran in fright when the demon's corpse suddenly caught fire in the sunlight.Like the liquid demon fire that spread around the square, the sun ended the battle, burning the few remaining demons alive to ashes. At least half of the fighters who fought survived.The Mosiri looked at them, surprised to find strength and determination in their faces, and they were very different people from the day before.They may have lost a lot last night, but the townspeople of Logging Hollow have never been stronger than they are now. "Thanks to the Creator." Pastor Jonah said, walked into the square with a cane, watched the demon turn into ashes in the morning light, and drew the magic seal out of thin air in front of him.He walked up to the Maulian and stood in front of him. "It's all your fault," he said. The magic seal shook his head. "No, it's your fault," he said, "everybody's credit." Jonah nodded. "True," he agreed, "but it was because you showed up in town to guide us in battle. Don't you still doubt that?" The Moyin frowned. "To take personal credit for this victory is to devalue last night's battle dead," he said. "Stop those prophecies, pastor, these people don't need them." Jonah bowed deeply. "As you wish," he said.But the Rubik knew it was impossible to stop them from spreading the prophecy in their hearts...
