Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Terrifying Enemies, Danger Approaches
The Evil Demons Guild didn’t run away. Instead, they turned around and went into The White City?
Aiden felt a bit strange because, normally, such an evil group would think of running when facing a crackdown.
Something unusual always has a reason!
Combined with what the four members of the Evil Demons Guild had said to Kael before, that The White City would soon be gone.
Aiden suddenly had a bad feeling.
“The protection of The White City shouldn’t be something the Evil Demons Guild can break, right?” Aiden asked.
Luke shook his head and said seriously.”I questioned the prisoners. They said that some high-ranking members of the Evil Demons Guild entered the base this morning.”
“As for more, they didn’t know.”
Owen took a deep breath, his throat moving up and down as he said nervously.”T-the princess is still in The White City.”
He was so worried because of Kelsey.
If the Evil Demons Guild hurt Kelsey, he would definitely be blamed by the Empress. Even if his grandfather Felix tried to help, he would still be punished.
As for what happened to the others in The White City, it had nothing to do with him.
Luke looked at Owen coldly and said.”The princess should be fine. After all, Sean is stronger than me, and there are strong people from the royal family secretly protecting her.”
“Let’s go. There’s no need to stay here any longer. We need to go back as soon as possible.”
Luke took out his phone, about to send a message, but found there was no signal.
He suddenly looked up at the night sky, a strong sense of unease came into his heart.
“Did the Evil Demons Guild interfere with the signal?”
“Onyx!”
Luke called out softly, and a huge figure quickly fell from the sky. It was his pet, the Giant Dark Raven.
Aiden and the others quickly jumped back onto the bird’s back. As the Giant Dark Raven flapped its wings quickly, they began to head back the way they came.
But just as they reached the night sky, a bright flash of fire suddenly appeared from the direction of The White City.
Then came a huge explosion!
The fire shot up into the sky, lighting up the darkness around The White City.
At that moment, Luke suddenly looked up into the distance.
Under the pale moonlight, a man with two wings on his back and a black beast horn on his head slowly opened his mouth.
His teeth, sharp like small daggers, reflected the moonlight. His long, snake-like tongue moved back and forth in the air.
Dark shadows slowly spread from his body, slowly pushing away the light around him.
“The smell of a Legendary Rank class, hahaha, nice, nice. This mission is really interesting.” the man laughed with a cruel smile.
Aiden instinctively tried to check the man’s information, but everything was just a bunch of question marks.
Beside him, Luke took a slow breath and whispered.”S-class fugitive, high-ranking member of the Evil Demons Guild, Legendary Rank class, 83rd level demon warrior, code name Demon Serpent, Orion.”
Aiden had never heard of this name, but Owen’s eyes flashed with fear. He nervously rubbed his hands on his pants.
The White City was just a small, remote city. It didn’t deserve a powerful member of the Evil Demons Guild to show up.
Even a 40 or 50-level Reclaser could cause some trouble for The White City.
The appearance of Demon Serpent meant that what was about to happen to The White City was beyond anything Aiden could imagine.
The princess might really be in danger.
Luke slowly tightened his grip on his huge axe and said to the others.
“It seems he’s here for me. You all get out of here. Go back to The White City as quickly as you can. Do your best to reduce the damage caused by the Evil Demons Guild.”
“I’ll meet you all soon.”
The S-class fugitive known as Demon Serpent licked his lips and laughed excitedly.”Tyrant Luke, level 79 Tyrant Cleric. Too bad, your level is a bit low. Otherwise, the fight ahead would have been more fun.”
“But you were once a top target, so I shouldn’t be too disappointed.”
Top target?
What does that mean?
Aiden felt a bit curious. While he was thinking, Luke opened the Tyrant’s Domain.
“According to the Evil Demons Guild’s way of ranking talents, Kael was barely a Level 3 target. Vespera and Vivi were Level 2. But me? I used to be a Level 1 target.”
“As for the top target, they are people with even more potential than geniuses. That’s what I mentioned before—those with good luck, those born to be great.”
Aiden looked at Luke in surprise. He didn’t expect that Luke’s potential used to be even greater than Vespera’s?
At that moment, the shadows around Demon Serpent Orion suddenly exploded and changed into a group of huge snakes. They blocked out all the moonlight and rushed toward Luke with a loud hiss.
“Shadow Snakes!”
Luke’s body suddenly grew bigger. He kicked hard on the Giant Dark Raven and flew forward to meet the shadow snakes.
At the same time, his eyes turned blood red, and behind him, a bunch of red chains suddenly appeared. They formed a huge iron net in front of him.
The net was so big it covered tens of kilometers around.
Because of Luke’s Strength, the Giant Dark Raven quickly started to fall toward the ground. Aiden suddenly felt like he had no gravity and his feet left the back of the bird.
Before he could use the Abyss the Flame Demon cloak, the Giant Dark Raven quickly flapped its wings and pulled its big body back up. Then, without hesitation, it flew straight back toward The White City.
Aiden just managed to steady himself. Without thinking, he turned back to look. He noticed that Demon Serpent Orion completely ignored them.
“Maybe he thinks we’re not important… or…”
With the help of high-level gear and the powerful spirit energy from the Apprentice’s Heart, he suddenly realized there were many people hiding in the forest below.
Aiden’s pupils shrank. Without hesitation, he shouted.”Split up!”
The others were shocked. They had just escaped from the terrifying Demon Serpent Orion and hadn’t fully recovered.
Some looked at Aiden and chose to trust him, even if they were confused. Others thought Aiden was just scared and yelling out of panic.
Owen even said.”Split up? What kind of stupid idea is that?”
He didn’t finish his sentence when he saw Aiden’s cloak spread out behind him like an eagle’s wings, and Aiden jumped off the Giant Dark Raven.
Then, several energy beams, about a meter wide, suddenly shot down from the sky, lighting up the forest below and firing straight at the Giant Dark Raven flying through the night.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
A series of loud explosions echoed, along with the Giant Dark Raven’s cry and Owen’s panicked shouts. Aiden quickly folded up the Abyss the Flame Demon cloak.
It was night, and a huge cloak in the sky would be too obvious. A perfect target.
Aiden’s body dropped quickly. He stayed calm and carefully judged the distance to the ground.
Just as he was about to crash into the tall trees, he suddenly used the Abyss the Flame Demon cloak again, flying close to the ground.
Before he could relax, the area around him suddenly became as bright as day.
A huge mushroom cloud, as big as a small mountain, appeared where Demon Serpent Orion and Luke had been standing.
At that moment, all the sounds disappeared.
After that, when a semi-transparent “ring” started to appear around the mushroom cloud, Aiden didn’t hesitate. He quickly hid behind a big rock.
“Boom!”
The shockwave kept pulling trees up by their roots. The tall trees around him were like fragile straw.
Pieces of stone and dust, full of power, hit the big rock in front of Aiden.
The ground shook. Aiden’s eyes showed a hint of seriousness.
This was a battle between high-level Reclasers?
Back in the Abyss, he hadn’t felt much. But now, being much closer, this shock and fear was hard to describe.
After this battle, the mountains nearby would probably be destroyed.
If he was in the area where Demon Serpent Orion and Luke were fighting, he would either die or be badly hurt!
This was no longer the same world as before. Even if you were careful, without enough power, you might still be caught in the crossfire of a strong fight.
Like the superhero movies he had seen before, every battle always ended up killing many innocent people.
He needed to get stronger as soon as possible!
Aiden’s eyes were full of determination. He waited a little, then started using the Iron Dragon Wings to fly close to the ground.
He wasn’t completely safe yet. The sudden burst from the Iron Dragon Wings could help him avoid any sudden dangers.
Aiden tried to stay hidden. The members of the Evil Demons Guild who had attacked from the trees were definitely still around.
His level was only 20. If he met some high-level members of the Evil Demons Guild, he might be in big trouble.
At that moment, just ahead of him, a hand suddenly shot out from a pile of broken stones and dirt.
Owen, struggling with pain and fear, quickly dug himself out. When his head came up, he started breathing heavily.
“I almost died. Thank goodness I had my grandfather’s diamond set. Damn it, how did Aiden know someone would attack us?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Owen saw Aiden flying quickly in the air.
“Is it you?!”
“This… is an Epic-level flying gear?”
Owen’s eyes widened. He forgot about his injuries and stared at Aiden’s back, at the Iron Dragon Wings.
An Epic-level flying gear. Even as the grandson of the country’s top minister, he had never owned one.
A sense of greed automatically grew in Owen’s heart.
But before he could do anything, a hurried footstep came from behind the scattered tree trunks in the distance.
“Quick, search carefully. Don’t miss anyone!”
