Chapter 531  Allaying the fear

Chapter 531  Allaying the fear

"Hm?"

Nix, the demon leader, suddenly frowned after he finished off the four-star elf and looked at the disk's map in his hand.

Noticing this, a demon beside him asked, "Is something wrong, young lord?"

"No. Nothing's wrong." Nix said, the corners of his lips lifting up into a sneer. "Only the ants are gathering in one place, wanting to resist us instead of fleeing."

"Isn't that good, young lord? We won't have to chase after each group and can just finish them all in one go." The demon smiled.

"Yeah, it's good. I'm just surprised they didn't try to flee even after finding out our strength." Nix said and thought, his eyes narrowing,

'Could it be that they have a five-star mage in their group?'

"By the way, young lord. Why don't Miss Yin's group finish off the other group they were headed toward?"

The demon asked, looking at the map in Nix's hand.

Hearing this, Nix frowned. 'That's right. What is that bitch doing?'

Just as he was about to take out his communication crystal to contact her, it buzzed.

'Hm? She is contacting me? Did something happen?' He thought when he realized it was Miss Yin's message. He then injected some of his energy into it to hear the message.

{Hey, we didn't kill this elf group because they are moving to gather with the others. So, I thought it would be better to take care of them all. So, don't be late or there won't be any elf or that human left for you to kill.}

After hearing the message, Nix's expression turned ugly while his eyes flashed.

'Is she doing this just to infuriate me or is she planning something?' He thought. Then a perverted smile appeared on his face. His eyes turned red, and he licked his lips and murmured,

"I hope you are scheming something to harm me. If you are, I'll be able to use it as an excuse to capture you. Ah! I can't wait to taste you, my little princess."

The demon beside him felt chills run down his spine when he saw his expression and heard his muttering.

"Everyone, let's go to the enemy's gathering point." Nix shouted at the demons who were busy consuming the elves' corpses and rushed away.

The demons stopped their feast, albeit reluctantly, and followed after him.

…

On the other side, Miss Yin's group was also heading in the same direction where Max and Nix were heading.

Miss Yin and the other two demons were leading the group. After she put away her communication crystal, one of the two carefully asked, "Young Miss, are you… really planning to…"

He didn't finish the sentence because there was no need to. The other demon also looked at her.

Miss Yin glanced at the duo silently, which made them lower their heads.

Just when they thought she didn't want to answer, she spoke.

"Yes. But I don't think it will be easy. So, we'll wait and watch." She said and glanced ahead, Max's image appearing in her mind as she thought,

'I just hope you are as strong as I think you are. If not…'

…

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Max and Emily arrived in the western part of the town a few minutes later. All the houses and building here were already destroyed, and many broken corpses of the town's people were scattered around.

"Where are they?" Emily asked,

Just then,

Whoosh!

An elf appeared in front of them, greeted them, and led them to the gathering place.

There were only three people there, five including him and Emily. The last team had yet to arrive.

The four-star elf looked at Max, his expression solemn as he said, "Leader, are we really going to fight them?"

"Yes." Max nodded. "Since the demons are already aware of our existence, they wouldn't let us leave. Besides, don't you want to avenge your friends?"

Although staying and fighting was indeed a risky move, Max had several reasons to opt for it. First, Ryan told him to ensure the elves' safety and even though the three of them had already died, if they tried to escape, the chances were high that more elves would die, which he wanted to avoid.

Second, Ellie and her mother would definitely die once the demons left the town.

Third and most important of all, he wanted to amass more Kill points.

Of course, if he wasn't sure that there wasn't any demon above the four-star realm, he would be escaping right now. Fortunately, there wasn't any five-star demon here.

How was he sure about it?

Because if there was a five-star or stronger demon present here, he and others would have been killed long ago.

The four-star elf shook his head. "Of course, we want to get revenge, but they had multiple four-star demons among them. We even saw a mid-stage four-star demon a while ago. Fortunately, we weren't found out."

"Tch! Such coward!" Before Max could say anything, Emily snorted in disdain.

Hearing this, the elf's expression turned ugly, and he growled, "Don't cross the line, human."

"What? Did I say something wrong? Aren't you a coward?" Emily snorted again. "You are so terrified just because they have a few four-star demons and want to escape despite being a four-star mage yourself while we, although just three-star mages, have already killed two four-star demons, one of whom was a high-stage four-star demon. If you don't have guts, why did you come with us knowing you'll be putting your life on the line?"

"What?!" The four-star elf and other two exclaimed in disbelief when they heard her and their eyes opened wide.

"Y-You… what did you just say?" The elf asked.

Emily looked away, not bothering to respond.

Seeing this, the elf turned to Max and asked, "Leader… is that true? You two really killed a high-stage four-star demon?"

Max glanced at Emily, unsure whether she really didn't know the demon's cultivation he killed or simply said this for the sake of allaying their fear and to give them some hope of survival.

Coughing lightly, he looked at the three elves in front of him, and nodded, his expression turning solemn. "Yeah. That's true. So, you don't have to worry too much. Just 

give your all when we encounter them and leave the rest to us."
