"Doesn't that need to be destroyed?" Diana asked, pointing to the two arms.

"No need, it would be too wasteful to destroy it..." Desmo said and turned to look at me.

Only then did I remember what she said before. Now it seems that it was not a joke. I looked at the two thick arms again for a while and then thought of the "strangled" ogre leader and couldn't help but wonder.

Said: "What's going on with that ogre leader? Diana, what are you afraid of?"

Diana looked at me and then struggled tangledly for a while before she opened her mouth and said: "The ogre leader has two hearts in his body..."

"Oh... gone? That's it??" I looked at Desmo in surprise and confusion.

"She is right, it is indeed because it has two hearts...but one is born with it, and the other is from another species..." Desmo's answer did not fully explain my confusion.

Rather, there are more and more problems.

"Be more specific……"

"Hmm... It's not easy to describe it in words. By the way, do you still remember the pyramid-shaped hierarchical relief you saw above?"

Desmo's words instantly reminded me of the thing that looked like a headache, and then I nodded and said, "I still remember some of it."

"The other heart of that guy is the heart of the fifth-ranked monster above, named 'Tara Behemoth'. Well, if I remember correctly, it should be called that." Desmo pointed to the heart.

The big tree said: "Because of the existence of the heart, the ogre became so powerful. This is why Diana is worried."

"Is it powerful... Indeed, the strength is very strong, and the skin is also very hard... but it doesn't make you afraid like this?" I pulled Diana over and asked: "Why didn't you use yours in the first place?

Did those magic kill it directly?"

"I used..." Diana's expression was still listless. She looked at the big tree in the distance and sighed, "I have been trying to use various methods since it was first trapped.

A magic attack was launched directly on it...but none of the magic worked..."

For some reason, when I heard Diana say this, I suddenly thought of Mr. Wesker... But then again, I don't think there is any direct connection between the two things. After all, Wesker's ability was given by the goddess.

And the ogre leader was because of the heart of that giant beast... Thinking of this, I suddenly felt something was wrong, because there seemed to be something incongruous in Diana's words.

"Magic is invalid? But I remember that the ogre leader was trapped by magic?" I also looked at the position of the big tree, because the land under the dense flowers and grass was still a puddle just now.

There are even some huge vine remains on the ground on both sides. These should also be magical creations, but I also saw with my own eyes that these things had an effect on the ogre leader.

"It's different." Diana seemed to understand what I meant, and then she stretched out a finger and released a small flame on her fingertips and said: "The magic I am talking about is ineffective when it directly acts on the target.

It's not a created substance..." After saying that, the flames on Diana's fingertips slowly turned into a wisp of smoke and dissipated, and then she condensed a faint brown halo on her fingertips.

Then a lot of dust and other things flew from all around and slowly gathered on her fingertips, and finally turned into a round pebble.

"Is the direct effect invalid..." I took the small stone from her hand and looked back and forth for a while, and found that there was not much difference between this stone created by magic and ordinary stones.

It was just a little smooth, and when I squeezed the pebbles hard, they broke into a piece of soil again.

"No, it's not that it's ineffective... but..." Diana changed the topic, then trembled suddenly and gritted her teeth and said: "When our magic hits it, it's like... it's like being thrown into the sea.

Like pebbles...disappeared quietly..."

"It's just been absorbed." Desmo said: "The racial trait of the Tara beast is to absorb magic power, and it is also magic power that has undergone qualitative changes, such as magic effects..."

"Yes, that's what I'm worried about." Diana leaned on me and said, "We have used large-scale magic many times, but we have never seen it release these magic powers, so we are worried about the gathering.

Do monsters that possess so much magic power... have any special large-scale counterattack methods?"

"Don't worry, look over there." Desmo pointed to the green space over there and said, "Those flowers, plants and trees were created by the influence of your excess magic power, so don't worry, these magic powers have been absorbed by the earth.

."

Now I finally understand the whole story. It's just that Diana and the others used a lot of magic to attack the ogre leader, but the magic attack was ineffective and they were worried that the huge magic power would cause any accidents, and now

The result was that her worries had been eliminated by Desmo.

"That means everything is safe now...right?" I hugged Diana and asked Desmo, "Then we can go back and rest?"

"Well, I have this idea too..." Desmo hugged Ruby and walked towards the stairs first.

"Let's go back. Let others handle the rest. I'm really hungry." I hugged Diana unceremoniously and walked forward.

"What did you see up there just now?" Diana suddenly asked, "Is there any new information?"

"Yes, and there are many." I looked around, but unfortunately I didn't find the person I was looking for. Then I said to Diana: "Where is Celine? It's best to call her here, and Meier."

Hey, they, I do have some key information that I want to discuss with you."

Diana nodded, and then grabbed a passing elf and gave some instructions. At this moment, I suddenly thought of Aurora and the others who were still outside the city, so I immediately took out the walkie-talkie and turned on the communication.

"Wolf 7 is calling, Wolf 7 is calling, Eve, call back quickly."

After about a few seconds, bursts of harsh noises came from the intercom, along with many rapid footsteps, metal knocking sounds, and even some unclear monster roars.

"Boom -" Suddenly a huge gunshot came from the intercom.

"This is Eve, what's going on?" Immediately after the gunshot, I barely heard her reply.

"Is the fighting over there not over yet?" I asked worriedly, "Do you want me to go over and help?"

"No, it's over just now. Rather, do you need our support?" Aurora still used a provocative tone, but I won't take the bait at all, because compared to me,

I was more worried about her safety, so I didn't bother to argue with her after hearing that they were ignoring her.

"Well, you should bring your people back first. I just used the bird to sneak around and found some unexpected information, so I want you to come back with Baron Sheldon to discuss the next plan." I just relaxed.

When I turned on the PTT button, Diana happened to come over.

"Okay, I'll be there right away." After saying that, Aurora shut down the communication first.

"She seems to be very happy. What did you just say to her?" Diana held my arm and asked abruptly.

"Nothing, I just want her and Baron Sheridan to come back first and we can discuss the next thing together." I replied casually.

"Well -" Diana made a long sound inexplicably, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Anyway, we went back to the cabin to rest. When we opened the door and entered, we found that Liz and Puffy had already come back with Cana. Liz and Puffy were sitting on the floor in front of the fireplace.

Snuggled together to rest, Puffy seemed uncomfortable. It seemed to be caused by the impact of the previous battle. And the reason was probably caused by the impact of noise. After all, the hearing of elves is different from that of humans, and the noise-canceling headphones protected her.

It's really not more suitable than magic. It seems that Diana needs to find a time to teach her her own original soundproofing magic.

As for Liz, she didn't react much, and now she is taking advantage of this opportunity to maintain the NTW-14.5. It seems that she likes this large-caliber rifle very much. To be honest, this gun was copied by Desmo.

If Liz likes it, it’s not impossible to give it to her, but the problem is that I hope she can ask me for an automatic rifle more than a rifle. After all, I have no intention of letting her become a sniper.

A dead-end position... Well, that's actually not quite right. The main reason is that I don't know the various techniques of a sniper, so I can't teach her, and I already have Puffy, a precision shooter, in my team.

So there is no need to get a sniper position. After all, I really need a qualified commando here.

However, judging from her careful wiping movements, she seems to be more concerned about Puffy on her shoulders, because she has always maintained an extremely lame posture with various maintenance tools in the hands of the user, whose purpose is of course

It was to keep one side of his body stable. In short, he was careful not to let his body swing so much that it would cause discomfort to Puffy, who was resting on his shoulder.

"Tsk, let's make room for us." I kicked Liz with my foot in displeasure to make her move.

Liz looked at us very unhappy, but still moved her position obediently.

"The tables, chairs and beds over there are all empty." Liz muttered resentfully after moving her position.

"There's no fireplace over there..." I took off part of my protective gear, stretched my body, and sat down, while Diana also sat next to me.

I calmly stretched out my hands and put them in front of the fire in the fireplace to warm them up. After fully feeling the temperature of the flames, I reluctantly took my hands back and subconsciously rubbed my heated hands on my face.

"Are you cold?" Diana leaned against me and asked suddenly.

"Well... somewhat." I replied subconsciously, staring at the swaying flames in the fireplace.

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt hot all over my body. When I came back to my senses, I realized that it was Diana who had put her elf cloak on me.

"This, you can adjust the temperature...is it warm?" Diana leaned on my shoulder and looked at me with a smile.

I didn’t know what to say, so I could only smile and nod. Then I raised my hands, stretched, and lay directly in her arms. Then I looked at the swaying flames in the stove and said thoughtfully.

: "Whether it's cold or hot, it actually doesn't matter. After every battle, I always find a place with a fire to stay for a while. This is just a habit that cannot be changed... because of the dancing flames and

The whispers of people around me always remind me...this time, I survived again."

After that, both of us stayed where we were in silence. Except for the sound of Liz maintaining her weapons and the sound of Desmo drinking tea, there were no other sounds in the whole room. Oh, of course.

There were crackling charcoal in the fireplace, and the strange and inexplicable rustling movement behind him.

I stared at the flames in a daze for a long time, and then I finally lost my temper due to the sound coming from behind. Then I sat up and turned around to look.

"What are you doing?" I looked at Desmo standing in the corner and asked curiously.

"Adjust Kana's body..." Desmo held a carving knife in her hand and scratched Kana's body for a long time. When she turned her head, it suddenly fell off Kana's body.

A lot of stone debris.

This shocked the four of us who were sitting in front of the fireplace, but Ruby was sleeping on a nearby crib at this time, so she did not wake up.

"Desmo...you...?" I got up from the floor on my hands and knees, and then rushed to Desmo.

Because from my perspective, it was obvious that Karna had just been shattered into a pile of stones. Due to previous combat cooperation, I am now very familiar with this dumb stone man, and I have almost treated it as a companion.

, so it is inevitable to worry about its safety.

But when I rushed in front of them, I suddenly found that Kana's body was moving. It seemed that the many stone chips that fell from his body just now did not really affect it. It would be better to say... Kana's figure changed.

Slender.
