159 What Will We Say To His Majesty, The Dark Demon Dragon?
While the Dark Enchanter and the Fallen Angel chased after the Thorn Fairy, their Lords discovered that something was wrong.
“Eve, we should go back,” said Lord Lina. “I feel like she is trying to deliberately lead us somewhere.”
Lina finally understood. The enemy’s plan was to lure them away so that Su Wan would be alone.
“I think they want to lure us away and deal with Su Wan once she is alone…”
Lina expressed her concern. She still didn’t know if Su Wan was strong. She only knew that the Dark Enchanter had given up before even making a move on Su Wan. Lina guessed that Su Wan and her hero must be powerful. But she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes.
She thought from the enemy’s perspective. If she was in their shoes, she would definitely lure Su Wan’s accomplices away from her first.
They followed the Thorn Fairy for a long while. They were not ambushed at all. Lina guessed they were not the target. They were just being lured away. They had sent only the Thorn Fairy of average strength, after all.
However, the Thorn Fairy could be considered as having average strength only when compared to the Fallen Angel and the Dark Enchanter because Thorn Fairy was one of the most powerful heroes in the Hero Plane.
Gadar had felt that something was wrong with Lord Bevin. When Lina mentioned that they were being lured away, Gadar realized that they were deceived!
“Lufasi, why don’t we head back?” he asked.
Gadar felt tired of the forest. The Thorn Fairy had escaped easily. As a nature hero, it was easy for her to navigate the forest. It was her home. However, the vines made it difficult for the rest of them to proceed forward.
The two heroes could use their magic to destroy the forest, but it would take a long time. They were caught in the vines, and the Thorn Fairy had already fled.
“Go back?” said the Fallen Angel. “How can we go back without dealing with the Thorn Fairy? What will we say to His Majesty, the Dark Demon Dragon?”
The Fallen Angel shook his head. They had wasted far too long for them to return empty-handed. Even if Xu Yuan didn’t reprimand them, the White Dragon Saint would mock them for all eternity.
The Fallen Angel and the Dark Enchanter had no choice but to defeat the Thorn Fairy before returning. The Dark Enchanter had climbed a tree. She stared ahead. “We can’t go back without catching the Thorn Fairy. Our pride won’t allow it.”
Lord Gadar and Lord Lina looked at each other helplessly.
Lord Gadar shook his head. “I have no choice but to follow.” He sighed.
Lina forced a smile. She had no choice but to follow her hero and capture the Thorn Fairy too.
From the other side, Aiur could see the vines covering the ground up to the sky from afar.
“Something is wrong!” said Aiur. His shout woke the Lord, who had almost fallen asleep.
She looked at the vines and found them familiar. It was her hero’s ultimate ability! The Thorn Fairy only used this ability in dire situations, especially when she wanted to escape. “She’s in danger!”
The Lord became anxious. Lord Aiur snorted in disdain.
“I would like to see who attacks my subordinate,” he said.
The Hydra woke up from his nap and hissed. He stared ahead. “Aiur, the enemy is a little tricky.”
The Hydra’s tone of voice was serious. This was the first time Aiur had seen his hero on guard. His hero was extremely powerful in his eyes. His hero had defeated every enemy they ever encountered with ease.
However, the Hydra seemed vigilant now. “There are two of them. They are also famous in the Hero Plane.”
Aiur glanced at his hero and nodded. He never wanted to admit that there were any heroes stronger than the Hydra. He assumed that the Hydra was vigilant because there were two enemies in total, not because the enemies were stronger than his hero.
Aiur had no time to think further. Soon, the Thorn Fairy ran toward them.
“Help!” shouted the Thorn Fairy.
She wasn’t pretending this time. She was truly scared and in need of help. One of her arms was petrified. A black feather stuck out from her chest where her heart was. Green blood oozed out.
The Lord of the Thorn Fairy anxiously asked for Aiur’s help. “Please save her!”
The Lord felt a little regretful. She was truly worried. She regretted getting involved in any of this. The Lord and the Thorn Fairy had been doing okay before this. Even if they couldn’t win, they had always been able to escape the enemy because of the Thorn Fairy. They had remained safe, at the very least.
It was the same this time. The Thorn Fairy had managed to escape, but she was injured!
Lords and heroes could be revived as long as the Territory Core was intact, but they still felt the pain.
Aiur wanted to show off his strength in front of his underlings. He commanded his hero. “Heimjue, let’s go!”
The nine-headed Hydra heeded his Lord and took action. He and Aiur were similar in many aspects. Like Aiur, he had taken the Thorn Fairy under his wing. How could he stand by and do nothing when his underling was attacked so brutally?
