Chapter 46 - They Ought to Die, Don’t They?

Bonus chapter as thanks to Anna H.

The emerging light was not too subdued, but it elicited a sense of eeriness.

The mountain of treasure had been turned into ruins and the air had been tainted with the stench of blood. Suo Fei was too far away to see anything clearly. However, the overpowering smell of blood was sickening.

Looks of bewilderment filled the faces of everyone surrounding the mountain of treasure. Then, a piercing shrill broke the silence. Suo Fei abruptly looked over and went rigid.

A huge beast that was about ten metres high stood near the ruins. Its blood-red eyes were bloodthirsty and frenzied, dark blood dripping from its mouth. It had ripped a living human into two.

It stared fixedly at the people surrounding the ruins, hungrily swallowing its saliva.

Several people lost their lives due to this sudden onslaught, but after all, those who could enter the crack were not weaklings. They reacted quickly. Archers, warriors and mages sprang into action one after another. Numerous attacks struck its body and bursts of sparks erupted.

Unfortunately, when the bright sparks faded, it steadfastly stood its ground. The attacks that were powerful enough to level a mountain seemed to hit a piece of cotton, without causing any real damage.

Everyone was terrified.

It’s definitely a ninth-grade ferocious beast. Ah, no. Perhaps a rare tenth-grade ferocious beast!

The sense of death hung in the air. The ear-splitting roars that followed sunk everyone deeper into despair.

There’s more than one ferocious beast here!

The whole place that was in darkness suddenly lit up, as if it was daytime, clearly revealing the scene before them.

There were countless ferocious beasts that surrounded the crowd. They had different forms, but their eyes were blood-red and slobber hung from their lips. They had huge bodies that were more than ten metres high, like a moving giant fortress that swallowed everything.

The people surrounding the mountain of treasure were trapped with nowhere to escape, like a sweet dessert waiting to be eaten. The ferocious beasts gathered slowly and opened their mouths to take people’s life.

The horrifying bloodshed was a stark contrast to the former peace and tranquility.

Suo Fei turned pale. He was not afraid of blood. In fact, he had skinned so many ferocious beasts before thus his tolerance for gory scenes was much higher than ordinary people. But at this moment, chills spread throughout his whole body and he was left unable to move.

He leaned against Samael, but he still felt cold all over. Suddenly, he heard a whisper in his ears, “They ought to die, don’t they?”

The voice was familiar but strange. Suo Fei’s heart went ice-cold and he didn’t dare turn his head. He didn’t even know what he was afraid of.

At this moment, a ray of Holy Light flashed. The leader of the Celestials, Lancelot Hill, released a buff magic that had a wide AoE, placating the people who had lost all their hopes due to fear.

Lancelot was the only Sacred High Priest in the whole Yalance. His buff spell could reinvigorate a vast amount of people and help subside their fears and dreads.

He was not capable of attacking, but he was like a real god with his support skills, making people want to bow down in worship.

In such a scenario, where people were maddened with panic, his conduct, his voice, and his entire being seemed to be the best tranquiliser, regaining people’s sense of reason, arousing the fighting spirit of everyone, and rekindling the flames of hope through despair.

The son of the Demon King, Abel Murphy, was the first to move. His bone wings spread across the sky. His long black hair danced behind him, like a ribbon in the wind. He lifted a huge death scythe with one hand. The sharp-edged blade left a pitch-black trail as it directly cut through a ferocious beast.

The ferocious beast fell to the ground. His effortless action imbued the entire affair with a sense of beauty.

He killed a tenth-grade ferocious beast in such a casual manner. This was the Demon King’s son! This was the strength of Abel Murphy!

The Prince of Elves Manzy Argoux took action immediately afterward. He stood from afar, his silver hair swayed across his back. His robes that were a mix of blue and white outlined his slender figure. He held an ice-blue bow and arrow in his hands, which exuded a chill in the air. It was gleamingly translucent, extremely resplendent. It was a weapon renowned in the whole of Yalance — Icemourne.

Manzy’s exquisite face displayed not the slightest bit of emotion as he slowly drew the bow. Then, seven Icebolts were released at the same time and pierced through the air with a swoosh. An ice fog formed after hitting the ferocious beasts. Then, two ferocious beasts became frozen.

Although this freezing time only remained for tens of seconds, it was already a substantial buffer time.

The King of the Beastkins, Harris Vargo raised his Heavy Hammer and smashed the head of the frozen stiff ferocious beast into half. The mages who had regained their strengths worked together to smash the other ferocious beast.

They exterminated three tenth-grade ferocious beasts within just a few minutes. Such strength would be terrifying outside the crack.

However, there were countless more ferocious beasts left.

At this time, Lancelot once again released his buff spell. Enshrouded by the Holy Light, the calm voice he released was amplified, “Everyone, please move towards the exit.”

The crowd who were still flustered due to fear immediately came to their senses upon hearing this sentence. Indeed, there’s an exit!

At this time, those who were sharp-eyed discovered that the narrow crack was slowly closing. Then, everyone discovered it and began flying towards the exit like a swarm of bees.

The people surrounding the ruins deduced that the ferocious beasts could not fly. All of them had flying mounts. Thus, they got on their mounts one after another and flew upwards.

However, there were too many people. Even if Lancelot ceaselessly released the spell that could soothe minds, he couldn’t appease so many people. Due to the stampede, many people fell off their mounts straight into the mouth of the ferocious beasts.

After flying for a period of time, those who thought that the ferocious beasts could not fly were proven wrong. Not all ferocious beasts could fly, but there were still a lot of winged ferocious beasts.

Hence, they were engaged in a battle in the sky.

Nevertheless, they had the protection of Abel and the others. Under Lancelot’s arrangements, most people were able to smoothly advance towards the exit.

The periphery of the action where Suo Fei stood could no longer be regarded as the periphery. Due to the crowd’s running about, the ferocious beasts had also been led to his side. Amidst the chaos, Suo Fei’s eyes instantly caught sight of a tiny dwarf, startling him to wakefulness.

It’s Tilly Lannis’ son!

Dwarves were not good at fighting, but they had a lot of items. Obviously, this dwarf had already used up his items. A ferocious beast was chasing him from behind, but his flying mount was not fast. Hence, he was about to be swallowed any moment soon.

Suo Fei quickly pulled out his dagger and jumped onto the dwarf’s mount, directly facing the flying beast. He took a deep breath before jumping onto the back of the ferocious beast. When he reached out to touch the ferocious beast, the appraisal technique took effect and a stream of information was generated in his mind. Sure enough, it’s a tenth-grade ferocious beast.

Suo Fei had yet to spare a thought when the dagger had already swiftly stabbed the weak points of the ferocious beast and the ferocious beast lost its strength. All of this happened in an instant. He handed over the beast core of the Frostflame Beast that he had kept all this while to the dwarf, using it to prop up an ice shield. Then he said to him, “Fly towards the exit and don’t turn back.”

At this moment, the little cub flew over. Samael reached out to embrace Suo Fei.

Suo Fei looked up at Samael. The demon in front of him possessed a terrifying aura that was unfamiliar to him. Suo Fei couldn’t help but inwardly tremble. He pulled Samael’s collar and forced himself to stare at him before he vehemently called out, “Samael… Samael…”

He couldn’t say anything else. He could only stare at his dull purple eyes and repeatedly call out his name.

Samael finally looked at him and vitality gradually seeped into his lifeless eyes. He fixedly stared at Suo Fei. He didn’t recognise the face of the elf in his arms, but he could easily recognise the emotions brewing in his eyes. There were worry, nervousness and slight fear.

Samael closed his eyes, lowered his head and kissed Suo Fei’s pale lips. He then whispered, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

He settled Suo Fei in a safe place before he drew the Asura Blade from its sheath and activated it.

The pitch-black sword emanated a dangerous aura.

Samael one-handedly held the sword and jumped on top of a flying ferocious beast. The sword flashed in all directions. The ferocious beasts fell one after another wherever he went.

He moved very fast, entering the vast stretch of tenth-grade ferocious beasts as if it was an uninhabited piece of land. The Asura Blade had been stained with plenty of blood but it remained a gloomy black. Even so, it was roiling with sword Qi as it glowed with an eye-catching radiance.

He was alone, but he was like a nuclear bomb. Blood mists exploded in succession among the masses of ferocious beasts.

It was frightening.

His fighting strength was more terrifying than that of the demon king’s son, Abel. His agility was also greater than the Elven prince, Manzy.

However, no one knew who he was.

After being stunned for a moment, cheers sounded out. Whoever he was, such strength was enough for everyone to cheer with their hands up in the air.

With the ferocious fighting strength on their side, the situation finally took a turn for the better.

However, they were still pressed with time as the crack was gradually closing. Even if they managed to annihilate all the ferocious beasts, it didn’t mean that they would be safe from danger.

Lancelot commanded the crowd to leave. They had already lost a third of their clan members, thus they must save as many people as they possibly could.

Hundreds of ferocious beasts had been sliced into half and a lot of people had managed to escape. More or less everyone who participated in the battle had been injured. The demon who had slain ferocious beasts with his jet-black sword remained on the ground. He was bathed in blood, standing victorious with his sword.

The crack’s opening had become smaller and smaller. Fortunately, more and more people had escaped.

Although Suo Fei was able to fight on his own, his physical strength was unable to sustain him for too long. He could easily escape the attacks of the ferocious beasts thanks to the little cub, meanwhile using this opportunity to kill plenty of them.

The little cub flew towards Samael while Suo Fei, who was slightly dizzy due to exhaustion, rested on its back. However, a door of light suddenly appeared behind Samael at this moment.

It was a lofty arch, but nothing could be seen apart from the dazzling, bright light that shone from within it.

He couldn’t see the expression of Samael who stood against the light, but fear rose from the bottom of his heart.

Suo Fei turned pale with fright. He wanted to warn Samael, but his voice was stuck in his throat as Samael had already disappeared into the door of light. Suo Fei’s heart went cold seeing Samael disappear right in front of his eyes, chilling him down to his bones.

He involuntarily cried out. The little cub reacted quickly, bringing Suo Fei straight to the ground.

At this moment, a huge pulling force came from behind him and Suo Fei was unable to prevent himself from being dragged in.

The author has something to say:

Suo Fei: Many new characters appeared in this chapter. Western names are difficult to remember but babes, just remember that they’re all my lil’shous ~~ o (* ￣ ▽ ￣ *) ゞ
