Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Mysterious Dragon Egg, Danger, Demon Duke!
“Sister, I’m almost out of strength. Once they realize it’s a trap, they’ll be right behind us. Let me down. I’ll stay behind and hold them off!”
Cheryl, the Miko riding behind the gray giant snake, coughed up blood and said firmly.
Before she finished speaking, the huge gray snake seemed to have used up all its energy and wobbled unsteadily.
After that, the winged gray snake fell straight from the sky and crashed heavily onto the ground.
“Everything’s over. Now there’s no way for any of us to escape!” Cheryl, who had just spoken, said with despair as she got up. She looked at her sister, Rainn.
“Sister, you should run now. Maybe there’s still a chance to survive. This Pure-blood Dragon Egg has to be taken back!”
As she spoke, Cheryl pulled out a dragon egg that gave off a golden glow and was about the size of a basketball. She handed it to her sister.
Aiden, who had hidden in the shadows, suddenly started breathing heavily. His eyes widened as he stared at the egg.
At that moment, Rainn shook her head and said.”There’s still hope. It’s not time to give up yet. Even if we can’t take this egg back, we can’t leave it to the demons. If they find out the secret of this egg…”
“Let’s go. We need to find a place to hide first.”
The two Miko had just taken a few steps when they suddenly stopped.
Aiden thought to himself.”This isn’t good.” They had just seen the body of Earth Demon Karl nearby.
Sure enough, soon Aiden heard one of the Miko say.”The blood isn’t even cold! The person who killed this demon probably isn’t far away!”
The two Miko immediately stood back to back, watching their surroundings carefully.
No matter how they searched, they couldn’t find anything unusual.
“Come out. You’ve already shown your weakness!” The older of the two Miko suddenly shouted.
Time passed slowly. The surroundings were completely quiet, with no sound at all.
Seeing this, Aiden let out a big sigh of relief. It was true—Epic-grade Shadow Stealth was still reliable.
The Miko who had spoken had to be pretty smart.
Out of caution, Aiden didn’t use any detection spell to check the two Miko’s details. Their levels were probably very high, and using the spell might make them notice.
Surviving the attack of so many demon warriors showed that these weren’t ordinary Miko.
After a while, the two Miko probably thought there was no one around, so they relaxed their guard.
The younger-looking Miko quickly searched through the body of Earth Demon Karl, her brow furrowed.
The other Miko let out a sigh and said,
“Cheryl, this demon was only Diamond Rank. Even if we could find a Demon’s Heart, it wouldn’t be enough to teleport us back. At the very least, we’d need an Epic-grade Demon’s Heart to use long-range teleportation.”
In the shadows, Aiden’s eyes flickered. He had heard every word the two Miko said.
It was clear—what they held in their hands, the Pure-blood Dragon Egg, was even more special than he had thought!
And these two Miko seemed to be able to escape from here with just one Epic-grade Demon’s Heart.
Aiden had plenty of Epic-grade Demon’s Hearts. More than he could even use right now.
“Sister, the demon warriors will definitely split up and search for us. I’ll try to kill one and get an Epic-grade Demon’s Heart.” Cheryl said, gritting her teeth.
She hadn’t finished speaking when Rainn suddenly spoke up.
“Are you going to use a forbidden technique? That will kill you!”
Cheryl took a deep breath and said slowly.”There’s no other way. If we don’t do it, both of us will die here.”
Rainn shook her head and said in a low voice.”Maybe we can use this dragon egg as a bargaining chip to threaten the demons.”
Cheryl suddenly widened her eyes and grabbed Rainn’s hand, asking angrily.”We got into this danger just for this egg!”
“Didn’t you want revenge anymore?”
“If you absorb this egg, you’ll be qualified to compete for the Origin Miko’s inheritance…”
Rainn looked at her younger sister with a complicated expression and said slowly.”You’re the only family I have left.”
Cheryl suddenly froze. She opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.
At the same time, Aiden’s warning compass started to vibrate again. Luckily, Shadow Stealth could absorb sound, or he would have been discovered.
Aiden looked down and his eyes flickered. Two more red dots were approaching from the distance.
Maybe he could just sit and watch the fight between the Miko and the demon warriors. Once they were both exhausted, he could step in and clean up the mess.
That way, he could not only get the Pure-blood Dragon Egg, but also finish the Class Change quest in one go!
Such an attractive opportunity was hard to resist.
Aiden decided to wait and see what would happen.
Not long after, two figures appeared in the sky not far away.
“Damn thief! You dare to toy with me? You think you can run away in the opposite direction?”
“Stealing EthanLord’s treasure and still thinking you can leave safely? Dream on!”
Two demons with powerful auras flew toward them quickly.
Cheryl and Rainn instantly turned pale, their eyes filled with deep despair.
If it was just one demon warrior, maybe they still had a chance to kill him and get the precious Epic Demon’s Heart.
But now, two of them had appeared. With their injuries, they had no chance against these two strong demons at all.
Rainn’s eyes flashed with determination. She raised the Pure-blood Dragon Egg and shouted,
“Don’t come any closer, or I’ll destroy this egg!”
Upon hearing this, the two demons instantly stopped in mid-air. One of them spoke,
“Are you threatening us?”
“Hand over the egg, and we’ll make your death a little less painful. If you really destroy it, you’ll suffer endlessly.”
“Before long, EthanLord himself will come. No matter what you do, you won’t be able to escape then.”
Hearing this, Rainn suddenly panicked. She whispered.”Ethan is a Level 90 Demon Duke. He has a powerful domain. Once he arrives, even if we have an Epic-grade Demon’s Heart, we won’t be able to use long-range teleportation anymore.”
Cheryl fell silent. This situation was a dead end. Even threatening them with the dragon egg wouldn’t help.
Because once Demon Duke Ethan arrived, he would easily control both of them. What came next would be endless suffering.
They knew exactly what Ethan was capable of.
In the shadows, Aiden let out a quiet breath. He had heard clearly—Demon Duke Ethan had a powerful domain!
Once he showed up, the Epic-grade Shadow Stealth wouldn’t be enough to keep Aiden hidden.
A Level 90 demon was way beyond what Aiden could handle right now.
There were only two options. Either use the extra speed from Shadow Stealth to run away as fast as possible.
Or try to work with the two Miko and use their long-range teleportation to escape.
Of course, the second plan had its risks. Who knew if the Miko would turn on him after they were safe?
One of them was even sure she could use a forbidden technique to kill a demon warrior!
Aiden’s mind worked fast and he made a decision.
But as soon as he started moving, a powerful aura appeared from the distance. The normal environment around them suddenly turned red, filled with madness and violence.
It was Demon Duke Ethan—he had arrived!
The two demon warriors instantly looked excited and shouted.”Quick, give us the egg! Maybe Ethan Lord will let you live!”
Cheryl and Rainn looked at each other in despair. Being captured by Ethan would be worse than death.
Cheryl gritted her teeth and said.”Sister, destroy the egg.”
Rainn nodded and was about to break the egg when she heard a new voice behind them.
“I can give you an Epic-grade Demon’s Heart, but you have to take me with you!”
“Sure, you and my sister can leave!” Rainn reacted quickly and answered right away.
Her sister Cheryl added.”You and my sister leave! An Epic-grade Demon’s Heart can only teleport two people!”
Aiden looked at the two of them, a little unsure. They thought there was only one Epic-grade Demon’s Heart, and they didn’t try to attack him.
Maybe they thought he was strong enough to be a challenge.
Faced with the two sisters fighting over who would get to live, Aiden just said.”Who said I only have one Epic-grade Demon’s Heart?”
“Three is enough?”
Aiden immediately threw out three Epic-grade Demon’s Hearts.
Rainn caught them without hesitation and immediately used her long-range teleportation.
A white Hexagram magic pattern quickly appeared under the three of them.
Everything happened in a very short time. The two demon warriors in the sky didn’t have a chance to react.
“Human? How could there be a human here?”
“Quick, stop them!”
Aiden’s surrounding space trembled and cracked quickly. He looked up and saw a figure with six huge demon wings approaching fast.
“You? I remember your aura!” Demon Duke Ethan’s eyes widened. Without hesitation, he threw out a skill.
A red ball the size of a mountain, full of destructive power, flew quickly toward Aiden!
