BXBX NOVEL Chapter 762 Ambush
Just a few hours ago, he had sensed the presence of Sarauviel, one of his comrades, completely disappear. He could not even sense the energy left behind by a corpse or something.
He had simply disappeared completely!
"What is the meaning of this?"
He felt shaken, afraid, even. Sarauviel and Christine were the strongest High-Ranking Cultists in this entire territory alongside him, and they had mistakenly believed that the invaders, led by the young new Summoner, were no threat against them.
Well, they was terribly mistaken. Having believed Sarauviel would sweep the floor with them once they arrived at Silverlight, they truly thought things would end as easy as that, without any other fight whatsoever.
Yet… yet!
"Sarauviel\'s death?! So soon too?! He… How…?!"
The blue haired young man started running across the empty castle, in front of him there were many demons making a huge settlement, while much like in Silverlight, the surviving humans were stored underground, used as cattle to feed the demons\' ever-growing hunger.
While panicking, his demon lackeys did so as well, asking him what was happening, Onis and Imps were taking care of most of the castle to keep it clean, unlike Sarauviel that slept on a small house unbothered, this man liked luxury and cleanliness.
"Lord Enmity, what\'s happening?!"
"Why are you panicking?!"
"Is there something wrong?"
Demon Cultists could, naturally, understand demon language just as well as the human tongue. Enmity glanced at the demons, gritting his teeth, and kicking them away as if they were ants.
"Shut up, shut up, shut up! I need to find it, where\'s the crystal?! I need to contact headquarters and tell them that the Summoner is not as weak as we believed! We have to prepare better… The Demon Overlord himself might… No, but that\'s impossible! …Or is it?!"
The man looked for a crystal, a special device to call others from long distances, he wanted to call the headquarters of the cult in the continent and also Christine, notifying them that Sarauviel, someone they believed to be as strong as a Low-Rank Demon Overlord, to have been slain!
However, although his panic won over his thoughts, he still couldn\'t help himself to believe what had happened. Did Sarauviel really died against a child that wasn\'t older than 14 years of age?! How could this even be possible to begin with!
And as he thought about it, the possibility that even their Demon Overlord over here, which took them so long to create as a side project to please the Higher Ups, could be slain right in front of their noses!
"No, this can\'t be happening…! Lord Sarauviel was stronger than me after all! How could he have been defeated?!"
Enmity continued looking for the crystal as he suddenly stumbled upon a strange sight. The floor of the castle was… covered on wooden roots, emanating slightly bright Spiritual Energy of Life and Nature attribute.
"What…?"
At first he didn\'t understand why such a thing was here. He imagined the castle was really old, so some trees might had expanded their roots all the way here. Though, he didn\'t remember seeing these yesterday.
"Hey! You stupid animals! Why don\'t you clean this? There\'s a whole tree growing down here! You imbeciles! Clean this! You know how I dislike unclean things!"
He kicked Imps and Onis, ordering them to get to work. They nodded obediently, rushing towards the tree roots, and using a small hatchet to cut it into pieces.
"Sigh… Anyways, the crystal, I think I left it in this room, no?"
Enmity stepped into the next room in front of him, at the same time as the roots the demons were cutting suddenly grew sharp, spear-like branches that impaled the demons\' heads, killing them silently. Their bodies were suddenly drained out of their energy and liquids, resembling dried out mummies.
However, Enmity didn\'t even noticed that, stepping inside the room with a tired expression on his face, suddenly running into a large piece of furniture, where one would usually store books, but that was covered on strange-looking artifacts.
"We can\'t let our years of efforts go to the waste like this! While everyone\'s in the frontlines, our mission to devour the Human Continent from the inside out must continue…" Enmity said. "Even if I have to bring some Elites here, I have to- Ugh?!"
However, before he were to grab the crystal ball centimeters from his grasp, he stumbled over more roots all over the floor, falling head-first into the ground.
BAAAM!
"Urgh! What the hell?! More of these things?! You useless demons! Why can\'t you just come here and clean for once!"
Enmity quickly stood up, but as he did, he realized the rest of the room was covered on roots and branches, slowly growing, and spreading everywhere…
His heart started beating faster as he realized this wasn\'t merely just some random tree that got inside over many years in a mildly abandoned castle.
No, this was… the act of an enemy Spirit Master!
"T-This is… Magic Spirit Wood… A Druid?! No…!" Enmity muttered, desperately standing back up as he recalled some of the information they had received. "The girl… That damn girl that shouldn\'t be alive! The one that we tried to kill so badly, so Lady Sathan\'s child could inherit the throne of that pitiful Kingdom. It\'s her?! The one blessed by the Holy Spirit of Nature, and whose body was remade using something that some identified as a Dryad\'s Heart and Yggdrasil\'s Wood!"
The young man slowly walked outside the room, his face filled with disbelief and fear as he started to consider that all the children he had thought were weaklings pretending to be strong were, in fact, strong.
And that included that little girl everyone in their organization wanted dead, someone they had cursed to die, the one that would had eventually become the Goldriver Kingdom\'s Queen, and therefore, the leader of the Kingdom Alliance.
The one they called… the Reincarnation of Yggdrasil!
BOOOOOMMM!!!
"H-Huh?!"
Suddenly, the ceiling above Enmity shattered open, as a girl with long pink hair, elf-like ears, and heterochromatic eyes appeared, one eye was glowing bright green, while the other bright gold, with a draconic, reptilian appearance.
"Finally, I found ya!" She smiled. "I heard from mom that there was a guy named Enmity… She discovered he used to be part of the group of cultists that cursed me when I was born."
The girl slowly flew with enormous dragon-like wings made of root and branches, Enmity began slowly stepping back, his entire body covered on cold sweat!
"And my boyfriend told me that he learned from the memories of that guy named Sarauviel that there was someone here… named just like him!" The girl roared, her Spiritual Aura exploding with enormous strength!
Around her, over fifty dolls wearing armor and holding magical weapons materialized, alongside a huge black knight puppet, and a gigantic, pink-colored dragon puppet.
Much like her boyfriend, it could be said she had an army of her own!
"Y-You?! Why are YOU here?!" Enmity cried. "T-This is…! D-Don\'t think I am afraid of you! Y-You damned child! You should had died when-"
"Shut up."
Before Enmity could finish his pitiful words, Erika swung her gigantic sword towards him.
CRAAAASSH!!!
