Chapter 1183: Chapter 89: The Hero Arrives, Hunting Demigods!

"My lord."

"They should have already made their move."

Harpist scout Samuel’s voice carried a hint of nervousness as he turned to glance at the prominent figure behind him, speaking cautiously.

Illystrin tribe.

A subrace of elves living in the south with dark skin, who were once almost seduced by Velen to fall and become dark elves, but were saved by the Gloomy Maiden, Illystrin. Consequently, part of the Illystrin tribe became followers of the Gloomy Maiden.

Duncan’s figure appeared at the back of the group, he followed the members of the Harpists unhurriedly.

This was a path leading to the Dark Realm, with the target being Mol Sobre City.

The Harpists are a fairly loose organization and like to meddle in affairs, but their capabilities are average. Sometimes the things they do are even incomprehensible to good people; after all, in the chaotic good camp, nothing they do should be too surprising.

As for how Duncan got connected with the Harpists, it wasn’t that complicated.

Because the Harpists were established with the push from many Divine Spirits, and among them, an important core deity was the goddess of joy, Lierla, and the goddess of luck, Taimola. So, Duncan is considered a patron of the Harpists.

The Wealth Church secretly supports the Joy Church, which indirectly supports the activities of the Harpists.

As a patron, Duncan shouldn’t concern himself with these small matters, but recently some major events occurred. The Harpists accepted the faith of the Gloomy Maiden, Illystrin, and secretly supported the expansion of her church.

So naturally, Duncan, as a patron, also came to know some of Illystrin’s stories.

Thus, by some ’coincidence’, the Harpists active in the southern region planned to help the followers of Illystrin, and Duncan, who was traveling the world, happened to join them and provided a considerable amount of financial assistance.

A new side quest, a deliberate result by Duncan.

-- "Illystrin’s followers plan to rescue fleeing Zor Elf slaves. The Gloomy Maiden Church, recognized by the Harpists, received the help of the meddlesome Harpist alliance.

At least five Harpist scouts and one Harpist master participated in this event."

Dimension Space.

Duncan actually already saw a brutal battle happening in the Dark Realm.

In the underground tunnels of Mol Sobre City, hundreds of spider-transformed Zor Elves swarmed out. They came from different families in the city, and to suppress this act of rebellion challenging their authority, the Banre family, along with other Zor Elf families, gathered over a thousand Zor warriors, mobilizing almost all the forces they could.

A brutal pursuit had already been ongoing for a while.

The underground tunnel was littered with the corpses of spider-transformed Zor Elves and Zor warriors, as well as those of the fleeing slaves, including the dragged-along Gray Dwarves. The followers of the Gloomy Maiden, Illystrin, were the main force of the battle. The sword dancers relied on strong combat techniques, fighting and retreating all the way, continuously escaping the pursuit of the spider-transformed elves.

But in fact, they were already on the verge of collapse.

If it weren’t for an unusual ’Zor Elf’ waving a sinister blood-colored battle blade suddenly appearing and slaughtering more than a dozen spider-transformed elves upon her appearance, they, along with the escaping slaves, would have been captured and sacrificed cruelly to the dormant Spider Queen Rose.

Lilandra Night-song.

The demon Duncan personally created, as a former follower of the Gloomy Maiden, couldn’t help but help these fugitives, her former companions, even after falling into demonhood.

This didn’t surprise Duncan at all; this was the purpose of preserving her memory.

"Thank you for extending your help, sir."

A sword dancer sheathed her glowing silver blade. Wearing light leather armor, she wanted to thank the exceptional, tall Zor Elf, but the other party vanished into the darkness without looking back.

This action left everyone stunned.

"Run!"

"The warriors of the Zor matriarchs have caught up." a hoarse female voice warned.

Lilandra Night-song couldn’t face her former companions, especially not with them seeing her as a demon. Withdrawing her two blood-colored battle blades, she melded into the darkness, aiming to intercept the spider-transformed Zor Elves who could swiftly crawl within the caves.

The enemies were just too many!

And there were also reinforcements invited by the Zor matriarchs—those monsters of the Dark Realm, the Heart Stealers. Yet, this battle would thoroughly expose the Zor Elves’ vulnerability, and the Heart Stealers might abandon their alliance and directly attack the Zor Elves’ city at any moment.

The Zor matriarchs were wagering everything they had.

They not only wanted to eradicate the followers of the Gloomy Maiden Illystrin from this land but also planned to use them as a blood sacrifice to the Spider Queen Rose, hoping to regain the Spider Goddess Queen’s favor.

Currently, all the Zor warriors loyal to them were mobilized.

Whack.

Blood splattered as torn limbs scattered through the air.

A fleeing slave let out a scream of horror, and in the next moment, was ripped apart by a spider-transformed Zor Elf. To add to the despair, a group of strange humanoid figures floating in the air emerged from the far end of the dark tunnel.

They had bald heads, their skin was covered in mucus, and tendrils dangled from their chins. As a powerful psionic wave burst forth, a group of escaping slaves was instantly paralyzed in place.

-- Mind Shock!
