These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 223: Fighting the Abyss Demons

I turned to look at Iris and said, "Just say what you want to say."

Though I said this to Iris, I could see that Wang Rong also had something that he wanted to say.

After a moment of silence, she asked, "Is it really alright to let them go like this?"

I wasn't surprised at all to hear this, I had even expected her to ask this.

But instead of giving a proper answer…

With a surprised look, I asked, "I never thought that you were such a ruthless person that you demand blood that easily."

Iris looked a bit embarrassed when I said this and she started stammering, "I, it isn't like that, I just…"

"Ha, ha, ha." I couldn't help chuckling before saying, "Alright, I know what you're thinking. There's no need to be this embarrassed, I know that you're just being careful."

Then with a more serious look, I said, "But it isn't the time to be doing stuff like this. We're still new to the Abyss Guards and even if we're in the Abyss, that doesn't mean that we can do things like this that easily. We have to have a proper reason before we do anything like that."

After a momentary pause, I added, "There's no reason to make things hard for those people either. They just chose to follow the wrong person, it isn't as if they were bad people to begin with."

Iris knitted her brows slightly after hearing this, but she did nod in agreement.

Still, it wasn't hard to guess what she was thinking.

"I know what kind of person he is, so of course I didn't leave things up to chance. I know what he'll try to do, so I already made precautions. I left something on him that will tell me his location at all times, so he won't be able to try anything even if he wanted to. The moment that he comes after us, I'll immediately know about it."

Then narrowing my eyes and revealing a cold look, I said in a cold voice, "If he tries anything…Well, there's no need to be kind next time."

Iris and Wang Rong finally relaxed after hearing this.

It was as if they completely forgot about those people with the way that their expression changed.

Next, they looked at me as if they were asking, "What do we do now?"

"Let's go and chase after our targets. Since we came to the Abyss, of course we're here to take care of the Abyss Demons."

Both of them nodded in agreement before following me.

When I led the Abyss Demons away, I had also sent a few skeletal rats to watch over them. So even now, I knew exactly where the Abyss Demons were and could find them at any moment.

That was where we were currently heading.

The Abyss Demons even moved slower because they were searching the area for us, which made it easier for us to catch up for them.

When we arrived, we didn't engage the Abyss Demons right away and instead took the time to look at these Abyss Demons carefully.

These Abyss Demons had the normal appearance of a demon with their red skin, red eyes, and horns on their heads. Though some of them seemed to have tails and some of them seemed to have wings.

It was strange how they differed in appearance when it came to these tails and wings, but that didn't change the fact that they were Abyss Demons.

The only other thing that they shared were the scales that covered their bodies.

These scales were anything but weak as they had stopped the swords of the skeletons previously, but this time…I was planning on using something a bit different.

"Go."

With this simple order from me, the skeletons that had circled around the Abyss Demons came out and started to approach them.

The moment that the Abyss Demons saw these skeletons, they immediately sprang into action.

After all, they had been looking for these skeletons during this time and seeing their targets made them spring into action. There was no hesitation at all from the Abyss Demons as they charged at the skeletons in front of them.

It seemed like they were planning on crushing these skeletons first and then finding the humans that they were looking for.

The skeletons didn't have any fear when they saw the Abyss Demons charging at them.

That was just how skeletons were, they had no emotions or fear, so they could fight without any hesitation. They just swung their swords at the Abyss Demons that were charging at them, even though they knew that it wouldn't work.

But before the Abyss Demons could clash with the skeletons, there were loud sounds that rang out through the air.

The Abyss Demons seemed a bit caught off guard by this, but it was already too late to stop themselves. The only thing that they could do was crush the skeletons before anything else.

Only they didn't even manage to make contact with the skeletons in the end.

The Abyss Demons that had been running forward one moment were suddenly pushed back by something the next moment.

"Ah!"

There were screams of pain that rang out while blue blood streaked through the air.

There wasn't a single Abyss Demon that wasn't injured because of whatever these things were that hit them. They were all pushed back by the things that hit them and all had wary looks when they stabilized themselves.

They held various parts of their bodies, but all of them were bleeding.

Whatever the thing was that hit them, it had penetrated their armour and had actually hurt them.

So the Abyss Demons had no choice but to be wary of whatever this thing was hiding in the shadows that had hurt them.

All of them immediately went back to where they had started and gathered together to form a defensive line.

But that was the wrong choice as the same loud sound rang out again.
