"But... I can’t understand many of the words inside, I don’t know what they mean, so I just left them at home."
Matilda could understand why Ashley might not understand the script of the Sect her parents once belonged to.
After all, Ashley’s faith was no longer in the so-called Moon Worship Sect, but in the Holy Mother.
Or rather, all demon hunters’ faiths were basically in the Holy Mother.
This also led to the majority of demon hunters knowing the language of the Homeland Sea.
The primary reason, undoubtedly, was that the power of the Holy Mother had a remarkable effect in dealing with demons, which matched the name of demon hunters perfectly.
The secondary reason was something Alka had mentioned.
Demon hunters were ultimately driven by hatred, and such behavior easily led one to become obsessive and stray down a wrong path.
Yet the teachings and power of the Holy Mother could easily stabilize those consumed by hatred, anchoring their bodies and minds. Even in such hatred, they could maintain their true selves.
Therefore, demon hunters were very willing to believe in the Holy Mother, preventing them from descending to the level of demons amidst prolonged demon hunting and hatred.
"If you need it, Lady Matilda, I can give it to you."
Hearing this, Matilda’s slightly regretful mood recovered, and she turned, surprised, to look at Ashley and asked, "Is that okay? It’s a relic of your parents."
"They’re just books, and I can’t understand them. I’ll lend them to you temporarily. I trust you won’t damage them."
Hearing this, Madeleina smiled and nodded, "Of course, after reading those books, I’ll return them to you intact."
Saying this, the two of them began chatting casually again, and Matilda started recounting some of their past experiences to Ashley.
As she started sharing these stories, it was no longer just Ashley listening. The medical staff around and those injured nearby were also tuned into Matilda’s tales.
Many people here have spent their whole lives fighting demons in this place, without knowing what the vast outside ocean truly looks like.
Of course, some were mercenaries from outside, and when Matilda spoke of things they were familiar with, they would also provide some commentary.
Some people listened intently, trying to document these stories.
...
At the fortress walls, the battle continued with intensity.
Alka silently conserved his magic power, no longer engaging in various large-scale attacks, but rather using mixed elements for precise strikes.
To maintain his combat effectiveness for a longer duration.
Several bursts of fire once again flashed through the sky.
Spheres wrapped in lava crashed down upon them again.
Two Cyclops appeared again a kilometer away.
The demons’ reinforcements had arrived once more.
Alka looked at the distant Cyclops, without the mood or strength to stop them now.
The whole battlefield’s cadence underwent a shift.
"Resurrection Concerto!"
As the sound spread across the entire battlefield, some exhausted soldiers and warriors felt their stamina and magic power clearly recovering.
The tune was just so fitting, and Alka relaxed a bit.
Julia, with the cooperation of several treasures, brought more enhancement than many strong individuals possessing beneficial effects from treasures.
This is the reason why the more treasures there are, the harder it is for them to work together harmoniously, but once they do, the advantage over others at the same level becomes immense.
In Alka’s team, as long as treasures possessed certain combat attributes, their cooperation could allow them to fight across levels.
Raising both hands sharply to disintegrate the lava spheres that were crashing down from the sky, though this time he couldn’t control and disintegrate them all.
Two of them crashed down.
One was hit by a laser in mid-air and shattered into pieces.
That was Simon, holding an energy gathering weapon, executing the attack at the third layer of the wall.
An unfamiliar general leapt into the air remotely.
A bubble-like air mass flew over to envelop this lava sphere, then dissolved it, the bubble disappeared afterwards.
Soon after Alka had just repelled several charging demons, more massive lava boulders flew over.
Sighing, Alka could only disintegrate three this time.
More lava spheres crashed down.
This time four spheres flew out from the sky, opening wide mouths in the air, swallowing the spheres whole.
Alka turned to look in Juanlu’s direction.
Juanlu held a bare stick, accompanied by a sphere, smiling towards Alka.
Then, in Alka’s gaze, he immediately turned into a human-shaped figure wrapped in lava.
He directly rushed into a group of demons, beginning to explode.
Lava flames burst out.
Although these demons had high fire resistance, such a wild onslaught was something they couldn’t withstand.
It might not be lethal, but all were thrown off the wall.
It must be those four sphere creatures transferring the consumed lava power to Juanlu.
Watching the Cyclops preparing to launch more projectiles.
Alka sighed.
"Damn, who’s going to take them out."
Saying this, Alka couldn’t help but contemplate spending some power, even overdrawing some strength from the Dream Realm, to take down those Cyclops.
Just then, Jason’s voice came to his ears.
"Are you calling for Jason and Ulu Liwus’ long-range strike?"
