The Aden Square was extremely vast, and there were massive trees that were over 100 years old everywhere. The sound of explosions and violent magic fluctuations erupted from deep within the square. Right at this moment, an elderly figure drenched in blood rushed out of the forest with a child in his arms. He was staggering slightly, but he didn't slow down in the slightest.
Behind him, a tall Six Armed Snake Demon was chasing after him. It had a huge body, and its six waving arms were holding all kinds of weapons. The lower half of its body was twisting its black snake tail, crushing everything in its path. With a swing of its tail, a tree as thick as a person's encirclement was directly smashed apart.
Behind the six-armed snake demon, there were four or five Demons and Beastmen following closely behind. They were approaching in a semi-arc formation at an extremely fast speed. It looked like they would soon catch up with the two people fleeing in front. The sinister smiles on their faces were already clearly visible.
"Joshua and Anna!" Blour looked at the two elves running in front of him with astonishment in his eyes. However, his expression immediately darkened at the sight of the gaping hole in Joshua's chest. That was a lethal wound, so why would these people pursue such a harmless pair of grandfather and grandson? A dark green wand appeared in his hand, upon which green light began to emanate from the tip of the wand.
"What powerful magic fluctuations." Sally was cleaning up the table with a tray, and she looked out of the restaurant with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She then caught sight of the disheveled Joshua, who was still carrying Anna in his arms. Her expression immediately changed, and she hurriedly rushed out of the restaurant.
"Big Brother, save us!" Anna yelled with elation at the sight of Blour with her pale face.
Joshua also looked at Blour with a hint of hope in his eyes. He stepped onto a nearby bush and rushed toward Amy's even faster, leaving a trail of blood in his wake.
"Sinister Wooden Wall, appear!" Blour yelled as he pointed his wand behind Joshua. Green light flashed, and a green wooden wall that was three meters tall and five meters wide abruptly appeared behind Joshua.
The spells and hidden weapons unleashed by the demons behind him all struck the wooden wall, causing it to tremor violently. After taking a Dark Explosive Ball from the six-armed snake demon, the wooden wall was completely reduced to specks of green light.
"Who are you? Why are you hunting down elves on the streets? " However, Blour had already arrived beside Joshua and Anna. He extended a hand to support Joshua's arm as he glowered at the six-armed snake demon and the orcs with a cold expression.
All of the customers in the restaurant looked on with curiosity in their eyes. Some of them recognized Joshua and Anna as the two elves they had encountered during their trip to the Jiangsu Province. They couldn't help but feel sympathetic toward them, wondering how they had managed to attract the attention of these terrifying demons.
That damned meddlesome bastard! Even though this piglet is a male, he's even prettier than a female. If I can capture him, I'll definitely be able to sell him for a good price. However, this guy is quite powerful; he's at least a 7th-tier magic caster. I can't cause too much of a commotion in Chaos City. Otherwise, it'll be difficult for me to escape. Even if I fail today, I have to kill that old bastard first. Otherwise, I'll be exposed. Ebenezer stopped in his tracks and stared coldly at Blour with his inverted green triangular eyes. He then turned to Joshua with an enraged expression, and said, "This old bastard stole from me and killed two of my brothers who were guarding the door. I'm going to capture him and avenge my brothers!"
"Do you think I'll believe that?" Blour's expression became even colder as he turned to Sally, who was standing at the entrance of the restaurant, and said, "You save him."
Sally was initially at a loss for what to do, but she looked into Blour's eyes. Even though Blour's tone was quite commanding, she didn't offer any objections. Instead, she hurried over to support the deathly pale Joshua, who was already unable to speak.
After laying him down on the ground, a green light appeared on Sally's fingertips, and she gently pressed her hand against the wound on his chest. The wound began to heal, but her expression didn't relax in the slightest. Instead, it became even more grave.
His injuries were very severe, and he had most likely burned away his life force to unleash a spell. What little life force he had left had already been burned away, so even the Milk of Life wouldn't be able to help him.
"Grandpa! Grandpa! Don't fall asleep! Anna's scared! Anna can't live without you! " Anna knelt beside Joshua, crying her eyes out. She held Joshua's wrinkled hand with her small hand.
Ebenezer took a glance at Sally. He didn't think that there would be such a beautiful elf here, and it appeared that she was quite powerful as well. She appeared to be an employee of this restaurant. He would have to go back and discuss this with Boss, and find an opportunity to capture her. She would definitely be able to fetch a good price. He then took a glance at Joshua, whose face was gradually turning ruddy, and turned to Blour as he said, "I advise you to mind your own business, brat. We have witnesses and evidence, and we have to capture these two thieves today. Even if the Gray Temple comes, they'll be on our side!"
"You're telling me that an old elf with a granddaughter would steal the treasures of a bunch of demons and orcs? Even if you're making up a story, you have to come up with a better one, right? I'm going to protect this man no matter what! " Blour's expression became even colder as he listened to Anna's sobs. He had already guessed what had happened.
"Very good, you are very arrogant. I want to see how powerful you, a pig who looks like a woman, are!" Ebenezer's triangular eyes stood up as he waved all three of his arms through the air. "Capture them!"
All of the demons and orcs surrounding the entrance of the restaurant pounced toward Blour and the others in unison. Ebenezer chanted a complex incantation as black light began to gather on his six arms.
The customers in the restaurant craned their necks to look at the commotion outside the restaurant. They looked at Joshua who was lying on the ground and Anna who was sobbing on the ground. They couldn't help but feel pity for the arrogant demon and orc. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Yabemiya stood off to the side with a concerned expression. However, she stopped in her tracks at the sight of the bloodied Joshua. She was worried that she would cause trouble for Sally, but she still stood in front of them with the tray in her hands.
"That old man looks so pitiful. Should I go and help him?" Xixi stood at the entrance of the magic potion shop as she looked at Joshua with a sympathetic expression.
"But they're elves. If we get exposed …" Lu Lu grabbed onto Xixi's wrist with a concerned expression.
"Lu Lu, if it weren't for Young Mistress Sally, we would've already died. What do normal elves have to do with the destruction of our race?" Xixi turned to look into Lu Lu's eyes with a serious expression.
"Go, I'll help him keep those guys at bay." Lu Lu looked into Xixi's eyes in silence for a moment before nodding with a serious expression. She stepped forward and transformed into a giant bear before pouncing toward the demon at the very edge of the group.
