As Mitchell, who had just arrived, boarded the carriage and closed the door, Ruelah, through the remaining hand of Maria, clicked the shield skill button as soon as Maria took an attacking stance.
As soon as Mitchell boarded, Hazen changed direction at full speed.
Although they withstood the first attack with the shield, if they were hit again, they would end up as roasted passengers in the carriage. Therefore, with a serious expression, Ruelah checked the teleport cooldown time.
The cooldown time had passed, but she hesitated to press it.
Maria Kuran’s HP was now at 0.008%.
Using teleport now would lead to a repetition of the same situation.
“Ruelah, don’t use teleport. The current situation, where we can escape by riding the carriage, is better than before.”
Ruelah nodded in agreement with Kite’s words.
His words were correct.
If they didn’t capture her now, Maria’s capture would become even more challenging.
With an anxious expression, Raphaël checked behind, then extended himself outside the sunroof again and spoke to Hazen.
“Hazen, maintain the current speed, and when I signal, accelerate. Mitchell, is the attack range displayed now?”
Mitchell, standing up following Raphaël, aimed the bow and arrow and shook his head.
“It’s not displayed for me. Is it possible for you?”
“It’s possible. Maria Kuran has to stop and stand still to attack while running. Thanks to that, there’s a brief gap, so attack at that time. Hazen, also slow down when I signal. Speed up again after that. Let’s try.”
Ruelah turned her entire body to sit.
As Maria, who was running, momentarily stopped, Raphaël shouted.
“Slow down. Mitchell, attack!”
The two attacked within the short time it took Maria to stop and cast a spell, then shouted.
“Hazen, step on it again!”
Following Raphaël’s signal, Hazen increased the speed.
Seeing Maria’s hand go down again, it seemed that the attacks were not reaching when the car gained speed.
Having found a method, they continued to attack in the same way.
Thanks to their methodical and patient repetition without greed, Maria’s HP dropped to 0.0001%.
“One more time. It seems like the last attack. Mitchell, get ready. Hazen, slow down.”
Following Hazen’s instructions, Raphaël and Mitchell began their attack.
As the enemy warning sound blared on the screen, the moment Maria Kuran’s HP reached 0%, she collapsed to the ground.
“She’s dead!”
Raphaël and Mitchell sighed with relief, slumping into their seats.
Seeing their sweaty and fatigued faces, it was evident how challenging this fight had been.
Hazen, who had been observing Maria’s state for a moment, looked at Kite.
“Shall I go collect the key?”
Looking at Maria’s corpse through the rearview mirror, Kite shook his head.
“No, let’s wait a little longer. When Baldur died, the corpse exploded, right? Since this is a higher-ranking demon, we can’t be sure.”
After taking a moment to catch their breath, Mitchell, who had been observing Maria’s still form, pulled himself out of the sunroof again and spoke.
“I’ll make sure she’s dead by attacking.”
Mitchell’s arrow left the bowstring and pierced Maria’s corpse.
Even after that, there was no change for a while.
“It really seems like she’s dead.”
Kite also agreed with Mitchell’s words.
“It seems so. Let’s collect the key and go back.”
As Hazen tried to turn the car, Kite stopped him.
“Just in case, I’ll go check. Wait here.”
As Kite got off, Mitchell followed suit.
As they walked towards the corpse, people began to gather around the park.
It seemed like they had come to check the situation as the commotion subsided.
After a while, Kite and Mitchell ran back with surprised expressions.
“We don’t have the key. It seems like the ring that Count Galt took with him earlier was the key. We need to hurry and find the severed hand of that guy.”
“Did you search thoroughly? The key is originally held by the demon.”
In response to Hazen’s question, Kite shook his head.
“There was no need to search. There was only a bluish liquid like melted metal in the place, as if everything had melted away. In such a puddle, there’s no way we can’t find the key.”
Upon Kite’s words, Hazen quickly started the car.
“It must be in the mansion?”
“Yeah, considering what we saw earlier, that’s right. Let’s hurry.”
With anxious feelings, they all looked at Maria Kuran’s mansion in the distance.
“Who could it be?”
As they drove the car up to the front of the mansion, they saw someone standing in the hall through the crumbling wall.
“Could it be Count Kuran? Did he appear knowing that his daughter died?”
When Raphaël muttered anxiously, Kite shook his head.
“No, he’s bigger than the Count. It seems more like Count Galt, doesn’t it?”

The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
