As Angor pondered, the battle was coming to an end.
Fafnir waved her hand and sent out a wind blade. After taking away the last imp, she slowly descended from the air.
The ground within a hundred meters around her was now covered in blood and flesh.
Fafnir's expression turned gloomy. Although the strength of these little demons was not that great, their fearless fighting style still made her feel that it was a little troublesome.
Also, Fafnir had a feeling that Canaan was right. There was another force controlling these imps in the dark. Fafnir couldn't figure out what was going on. If Angor was the real target, he or she could have done it himself. But he or she chose not to do so. Either he or she was being too careful, or he was trying to distract her or weaken her power.
Or perhaps, it was both?
Of course, that was if the target was Angor.
Still, Fafnir couldn't figure it out. She could tell that the enemy was powerful just by looking at the way he or she controlled the imps. Why would such a powerful enemy want to kill Angor?
Fafnir couldn't figure it out, but she knew that it wasn't over yet.
Fafnir didn't tell Canaan what she was thinking. Instead, she gave Angor a meaningful glance and continued walking toward the core area.
Angor and Canaan quickly followed her.
When they were about to reach the tower, they were surrounded again. This time, there were about the same number of demons as before. Canaan was still hiding, while Angor stayed close to the wind.
Everything was the same as before.
But Angor also felt that something was different. But he couldn't tell exactly what was different about it.
One minute later.
Fafnir was still fighting in the distance when Angor suddenly realized something. Why didn't any of the demons attack him this time?
Every time before, there were demons attacking him. But now, they were all gone.
As he thought about it, he suddenly smelled a strange rank odor from the wind around him. Before he could figure out what it was, the wind around him suddenly disappeared. At the same time, he felt a hot, stinking wind at the back of his neck.
Ambush! When he realized this, he realized that the wind was disappearing very quickly this time.
Fafnir also sensed the disappearance of the wind. She quickly turned around and saw a dark shadow behind Angor. And it wasn't an imp!
It had two curved horns, a beard that was fluttering in the wind, a pair of evil eyes, and a pair of muscular legs.
It was a Sheepdemon!
Moreover, judging from how quickly it broke through the wind, it was a Goat Demon that was at least at the peak of the intermediate rank!
"So it's trying to distract me?" Fafnir quickly turned into a gust of wind and dashed toward Angor.
However, the fact that the Sheepdemon could reach Angor's back so quickly and without warning, it must have come prepared.
"Huo —" After a wave of air, its two legs, whose muscles had swelled to the point of bursting, suddenly bulged with countless blue veins. It looked abnormally terrifying.
Seeing this, Fafnir immediately reacted. This was a Goat Demon that specialized in speed!
Such Sheepdemons could move so fast that they could even step on air. More importantly, their speed came from their physical strength, which allowed them to maintain it for a long time. Their speed also brought them great explosive power. These Sheepdemons were very difficult to deal with.
Even someone as strong as Fafnir would not like to face such a demon. The Sheepdemon was too fast. Even if Fafnir could kill it, it would take a lot of time and energy to do so.
And if Angor was taken away by the Sheepdemon, Fafnir would have a hard time catching up to him.
"Damn it!" Fafnir cursed and used even more strength. She moved so fast that she almost turned into a black arrow and tried to stop the Sheepdemon before Angor was taken away.
However, Fafnir was not as fast as the Sheepdemon.
The Sheepdemon curled its lips and spoke in demon language.
"It's over."
The Goatfiend placed a hand on Angor's shoulder and vanished into thin air.
Canaan, who was hiding behind a fence, peeked her head out and saw what happened. Canaan's mind went blank for a moment. "It's over …" She mumbled.
Fafnir had the same thought as Canaan. She already considered the possibility that the Sheepdemon was trying to make her lower her guard, but she completely forgot about that when the battle began. This made her feel even more helpless, and her heart was filled with even more complicated feelings.
Fafnir felt terrible when she realized that Oderklas's mission was about to be interrupted.
All she could do now was to chase after Angor with all her might.
But at this moment, the situation took a turn!
"What's going on? Where is he? "The Sheepdemon in front of her suddenly stopped and yelled.
Fafnir looked at the Sheepdemon in confusion and heard someone panting beside her. "Phew … Good thing I ran fast enough."
Fafnir looked back and saw Angor's soul returning to his body.
Fafnir was a little surprised. She then recalled the aura of a certain law she sensed from Angor.
Angor was glad that the Sheepdemon only wanted to take him away, so it didn't release its aura. Without the aura, Angor could use the sequence of gravity to escape. Even the Sheepdemon couldn't react in time.
Angor returned to his body and quickly put away the ice orb. The Sheepdemon waited until the last moment to run away because he used Spirit Link to cast Hand of Spell to prevent the Ice Orb from causing any problems.
Fafner looked at Angor who only cared about the Ice Sphere and felt like laughing out loud. However, she knew that this was not the time to laugh. She put on a stern face and said to Angor, "Stay at the back."
Fafnir felt humiliated when the wind barrier around Angor was destroyed. She quickly created a small wind domain and looked at the shocked goatmen in the distance.
Canaan, who was hiding nearby, also stared at Angor in shock.
Canaan still couldn't understand how Angor managed to escape.
Canaan didn't know what happened, but she couldn't help but exclaim in her mind, "As expected of the shop owner …" Someone who dared to open a shop in Rasudran that could awaken a demon wasn't as simple as she thought.
Now that the Sheepdemon had failed, it couldn't use the same method to capture Angor again.
And it wasn't going to win against Fafnir either.
In the end, the Sheepdemon had no choice but to give up.
The Sheepdemon ran away. It quickly turned into a black dot and disappeared into the distance. Fafnir didn't give chase. She knew that doing so would only lead to more trouble.
In any case, Rasudran was now a burning birdcage. He could not escape. No matter where he went, he would eventually return to the Void Tower.
"It's over, right?" Canaan asked in a small voice.
"Over? Not necessarily. "Fafnir shook her head.
She knew very well that while the sheep-demon was a difficult opponent, it definitely wasn't the mastermind who controlled the imps to intercept them.
"Will they come again?" Canaan asked.
Fafnir already lost a large number of demons, and they wouldn't give up so easily. According to their degree of persistence, Fafner had a premonition that they would return soon.
This time, they didn't run into any obstacles when they reached the edge of the mist zone.
They sensed the presence of other demons along the way, but none of them dared to show themselves. Clearly, these demons had witnessed Fafnir's bloody methods.
The mist zone was gone, but there were still a lot of demons wandering around. However, when Angor and Canaan arrived, they all scattered in different directions.
There was only one big monster left on the scene.
Angor thought they had run into more demons, but he heard a familiar voice instead. "Hey, it's the shop owner!"
Puzzled, he looked up and saw the giant's face was covered by a layer of light. After his eyes adjusted to the light, Angor finally saw the giant's face. It was a Troll with slightly dark skin. On the Troll's shoulder sat a charming female Succubus.
It was Bi 'er, Gruda, who Angor saw through Fafnir's wind.
"Hi." Angor nodded as a greeting.
Gruda suddenly pointed at Angor and spoke in a loud voice, "I was ordered to capture him."
Angor frowned at Gruda's words.
However, at this time, Zhui said, "So your target is the shop owner … That's a bit of a pity. It's all thanks to the shop owner that I could awaken."
After Yu finished speaking, he stuck out his tongue and gently licked Geruda's ear: "Are you sure you still want to catch him?"
Gruda stiffened and didn't say anything.
Yu added, "If you want to catch the shopkeeper, Sir Fafnir next to him will do it. I won't help you then. Are you sure you still want to capture him? "
After a moment of silence, Gerda stepped aside to make a path for them.
Fafnir glanced at Dusk coldly and walked toward the mist area. Angor quickly followed him.
When they walked past Gruda, Bi whispered, "The only one who can order Gruda around is a big demon. Well, a big demon that has nothing to do with me."
Angor nodded at Dusk and thanked Dusk for his help.
Even as they walked towards the Void Tower, Dusk and Gruda didn't do anything.
When Angor saw Gruda and Gruda walking away, Canaan whispered, "So Bi knew Gruda's target was the shop owner."
Angor nodded. He could see that.
"That's why it's acting coquettishly and stopping Geruda. It's just trying to make the shop owner owe it a favor. What a scoundrel." Canaan said angrily.
Angor didn't think too much about it. "It doesn't matter. The result is good. Besides, Bi did tell us something useful. "
