Chapter 119

Now that things had come to this, even Sean, Lucia, and Merica had some understanding of the situation.

"Old Demons …"

Merica withdrew her magic power and looked at the attacker that she had burned without hesitation, confirming the identity of the other party.

If the other party was not Demons, as a naturally-born elf, Merica would not have been able to attack so decisively and mercilessly burn the other party to death.

But from the moment she decided to attack until now, Merica's instinct as an elf did not have the slightest bit of hesitation. Only now, when Merica reacted, did she realize that she had used magic to kill one of the attackers.

That alone was enough to confirm the identity of the other party.

And since she could confirm that the other party was Demons, then it was not difficult to guess who attacked the camp and the escort team.

Not to mention Merica, even Lucia had guessed it.

"What … What should we do?"

Lucia was a little flustered.

Merica was not much better.

Usually, the two of them were led by Vivian and Tierre. Now that Vivian and Tierre were not around, the two of them naturally did not know what to do.

Fortunately, Lucia and Merica were not the only ones here.

"Don't panic." Shien said to Lucia and Merica. "This is not the time to panic. Be more vigilant around. We don't know when new attackers will jump out."

Shien's words made Lucia and Merica calm down a little.

However, the two of them were still very worried.

"Where is Sister Vivian now?"

Lucia murmured helplessly.

"Where's Tierre? Is she okay? "

Merica also gripped her staff tightly, her expression full of worry.

On the other hand, Shien did not feel worried at all.

"Don't worry, they're fine."

Shien said with certainty.

There was no other reason than that Mana Sense allowed Shien to clearly sense Vivian's and Tierre's magic power and know their current situation.

Now, Vivian was fighting with a few Old Demons some distance away from Baylon's tent. The magic power of those attackers was fluctuating so violently, but Vivian's magic power was so calm. Thinking about it, Vivian should have resisted their attack and even had the strength to protect the two weaker magic reactions. She should not have any problems for the time being.

As for Tierre, this girl was now rushing here at full speed. On the way, she was attacked by several Old Demons, but not only was she unharmed, she even killed a few of them.

Even Baylon seemed to have rushed out of her tent and was now dealing with the attacks of several Old Demons. Her performance was not as outstanding as Tierre's.

Obviously, compared to Tierre, who was able to combine all her skills in a scientific manner and had a clear position, and had also learned [Demon Sword], Baylon's lethality and threat level were a notch lower. He believed that the people of the Old Demons Faction wouldn't have expected such an accident.

Of course, the rest of the people in the camp were miserable.

At least, from what Shien noticed, people's magic power had been disappearing since the beginning.

What exactly happened to those people? It would be obvious if one thought about it.

In this regard, although Shien was a little sympathetic, he did not feel guilty.

Even though the appearance of the Old Demons could be said to be partly due to Shien, as mentioned before, even without Shien, with the series of tricks that Baylon and the others had done in order to fight for credit, this situation would have happened sooner or later.

Even if Baylon and the others were lucky enough to escort Killian to the Royal Capital safely, with the style of the Old Demons, they dared to slaughter their way into the Royal Capital in a dignified manner ten years ago. Now, ten years later, would they not be able to do the same?

In other words, this matter was destined to be bloody from the beginning.

Shien couldn't see any signs of this mission ending peacefully at all. Moreover, Baylon and the others were a little unsightly, so Shien would be a little displeased if they didn't act recklessly.

Not to mention, Killian was captured by Shien himself. Baylon and the others wanted to take the credit that should have belonged to Shien. How could they be satisfied if they didn't bleed?

Therefore, these innocent knights and adventurers who were implicated could only be said to be unlucky.

"That may be the case, but I can't escape the fact that I'm partly responsible."

Therefore, Shien didn't feel guilty, but he would also try his best to make the culprits taste the price they deserved.

"Let's go, Lumia, Merica."

Shien said.

"Go?"

"Where?"

Lumia and Merica were stunned and didn't know what to do.

Shien smiled.

"What's the goal of the Old Demons?"

Shien turned around and said this.

"Let's go there."

So, Shien, Lumia, and Merica rushed in one direction.

…

"Boom …"

"Boom …"

In the camp, there were still bursts of explosions from time to time, igniting tents one after another.

This part of the world had turned into a sea of fire, and flames appeared in all directions.

The ground was covered with blood and corpses.

Mana fluctuations and the tremors of the atmosphere were also ongoing at all times.

Shien, Lumia, and Merica hurried on, and along the way, they encountered several attacks from the Old Demons, but they were quickly dealt with by the three of them.

To be more specific, Shien used perception-type skills to discover the enemies in advance, and with the max-level [Throw] skill, he turned ordinary stones into cannonballs that shook the atmosphere, smashing the enemies to death or injuring them on the spot. Then, Lumia and Merica would finish off the injured, reducing the number of enemies, clearing the obstacles on the way, and continuing on their way.

The number of people traveling had also increased from three to more than a dozen.

On the way, there were knights and adventurers who were fighting with the attackers of the old demons. They were struggling to hold on and did not fall. Sean naturally saved them and took them with him on the journey.

Arliss was even among them.

"Thank you, Brother Shien." Arliss's way of addressing Shien had completely changed, and even the way she looked at Shien had changed. She said with extreme surprise, "But are you really only level 10, and you haven't even learned a single skill?"

Seeing with her own eyes that Shien had smashed two high-level Old Demons away with two stones, Arliss could not believe it at all.

Sean couldn't be bothered to explain too much. He just led everyone and hurried on with their journey.

About ten minutes later, the group finally arrived at their destination.

It was the tent where Killian was imprisoned.
