Chapter 75 - Betrayed by His True Love
The situation sank into chaos, which was a delight for Suo Fei and his group.
The little cub and the fireball fatty took advantage of the chaos to come over. With the two guys, Suo Fei’s confidence was greatly increased. He became more assured that they could escape.
Suo Fei didn’t climb onto the red dragon’s back. He still couldn’t fly away at this moment. They still had to kill their way out. Since Nael was responsible for throwing powerful attacks, Suo Fei had to let him have free rein. If Nael still needed to protect him, he would only constrain him which was unacceptable.
The current situation was countless times more dangerous than it had been in the treasury. They weren’t joking around.
Thus, Samael led the front while Nael brought up the rear. Suo Fei, the little cub and the fireball fatty were in the middle.
The formation was like a sharp weapon, piercing the enemy and forcibly cutting down a path for them.
If they continued this way, they would definitely be able to break out of the encirclement.
However, Linde wouldn’t let them rush out just like this. His eyes narrowed as he analysed the situation. If he were to be honest, he was shocked. He tried to predict the worst that could happen, but he didn’t expect that they would suffer such a huge loss. The cause of this was that demon. In just a matter of a few days, Samael’s ability had improved in such a terrifying manner. It had simply improved by countless times.
What did he encounter? Linde didn’t know, but he knew that he couldn’t tolerate his existence that was already threatening his position. Previously, Linde had still been confident that he could defeat Samael by himself, but he didn’t have that confidence right now!
Linde took a deep breath before he instructed his underlings one after another. They must be killed in this place no matter what. There’s no way that he could leave this future trouble alive.
Although the situation was currently to Suo Fei’s advantage, Suo Fei knew that Linde was far more able than this, so his mind had always been tense and he didn’t dare to be careless.
Sure enough, after a few seconds, the formation of the black-robed men changed and those at the forefront had been replaced by melee Paladins. Those who excelled in ranged attacks retreated to the rear. The attack strength of the Paladins was low but they had a strong defense. They had tough skin so it might not be possible to penetrate their defenses with a single blow.
The Archmages formation had terrifying attack strength. One after another, impressive magic attacks were casted. Even with the dragon’s protection, it was still extremely toiling to march forward.
All of a sudden, the situation was reversed and they couldn’t move a single step.
Samael quickly whispered to Nael. Suo Fei heard it and nodded urgently. Then, he jumped onto Nael’s back.
Nael stopped attacking and folded his wings together to form a protective shield that could withstand most of the magic attacks.
When Linde saw this situation, his mouth twitched and mockingly smiled. Samael could only fight at a close distance. Initially, the dragon could release magic spells to attack the Archmages from a distance, but now the dragon switched to a full defense. How could Samael deal damage to the Archmages who were of utmost importance by himself?
This thought had just flashed through his mind when his eyes widened from surprise when he saw the next scene.
Samael unfolded his wings!
Linde had launched a sneak attack on Samael before so he knew better than anyone that the wings of this demon had been cut off. In addition, it had been seriously injured and could never be recovered. So how could it be healed?!
He was still in a state of shock when he saw Samael rapidly flying to the sky and brandished his swords and swept it across the Archers in the sky. Then, he turned around at great speed and charged straight towards the Archmages who were at the rear.
Linde raised his eyebrows in fright. It would truly be a bad thing if Samael charged straight in. With his fighting power, if he could get close to the mages who had nearly zero defense, wouldn’t it be as easy as cutting cabbages?!
He quickly issued another command and a squad of primeval demons rushed towards Samael. Unfortunately, they weren’t as fast as Samael so they could only look on helplessly as Samael charged in like a cheetah pouncing on a flock of chickens. A lot of them had been eliminated instantly.
Samael didn’t continue fighting zealously. After successfully launching an attack, he speedily retreated to where the red dragon was. The small group of Demons who arrived in a hurry attacked nothing but air. This sense of defeat due to the difference in their speed caused them to grit their teeth in anger. However, they could do nothing about it.
Regardless of their classes, if they confronted Samael alone, only death awaited them. The only chance that they could successfully mount a sneak attack was if they went together.
Now, however, the formation of the Archmages was already in disorder. The few who managed to survive were still frightened out of their wits. Although they tried to force themselves to continue chanting incantations, their accuracy rate had gone down, with eight out of ten attacks missing their target. It would have been fine if they only hit the air, but they happened to hit those on their side! The Paladins at the forefront took the brunt of their attacks.
Linde cursed angrily and immediately asked them to stop.
When they stopped the formidable attacks, their situation became passive once again.
They had so many people but they actually couldn’t deal with merely one demon. They would probably be a laughing stock if this were to be spread around.
After losing so many of his underlings, Linde finally couldn’t press down the anger rushing forth in his heart. He looked at Grantlyn who was controlling the Shadow Shifter to continuously summon troops to replace the people that they had lost.
“How many squads have we lost?”
Grantlyn shut his eyes. Although his mind was concentrating on the Shadow Shifter, he still managed to reply. After all, no one else apart from him knew the figures, “20th Paladin squad, 12th Mage squad, 5th Assassin squad and 3rd Archer squad…”
As Grantlyn reported the figures one after another, Linde clearly felt the veins in his forehead throbbing furiously.
Grantlyn was relaying the squad number that was currently being teleported, which meant that all the squads before that number had been killed.
They had actually lost so many people! Linde had not expected this, especially the Mages! Eleven squads? Almost half of their troop had been killed!
Most of the Mages were Celestials. If one died, they would be one person less. So they were exceptionally precious! But now…
Linde rubbed his forehead in worry. He asked the black-haired man next to him, “Ned, how is the situation at Bran’s side? Wasn’t he already hiding in the Dragon Valley?”
The black-haired man replied, “I’ve been trying to contact him ever since we entered Dragon Valley.”
“You can’t reach him?”
Ned was silent for a while before answering, “Yes.”
Linde was mad, “What the hell is going on with him?”
Ned hastily explained, “It might be inconvenient for him to contact us, but he surely must be here. The seal on the Dragon Valley’s entrance had been undone from the inside. The Teleportation Restriction Array had also been destroyed by him.”
“Why can’t we reach him then?” Linde glanced at the red dragon’s side and whispered, “Could it be that he’s with Samael and his group?”
Ned was stunned and said, “That’s possible.”
Linde commanded at once, “More reinforcement! Stop them! We must kill all of them today!”
Sal was also surprised that the situation would come to this. He had joined their group ‘Heaven Defier’. He was appointed to a high position after years of painstaking efforts and learnt some of their core secrets. At the same time, he also used the information he got from Heaven Defier to search for the dragons that were lost.
Then, he found the Launay who had been reborn. The reason why he brought Linde and his group to this place was that he wanted to completely get rid of them in one go.
He believed in Launay’s abilities. As long as Summer could succeed occupying his consciousness and he could obtain the key to awaken Launay, these people would definitely not be his opponents.
All the opponents who could contend with Launay had already died!
However, he didn’t expect that Samael, who had not yet awakened, already had such ability. He felt great satisfaction when he saw him beating and killing the Heaven Defiers into such a miserable state.
The debts that they owed were long overdue.
Sal was in high spirits. His only dissatisfaction was the elf by his side. It would be better if he died here.
When this thought crossed his mind, Sal could hardly restrain himself.
He wanted to take advantage of the moment when Samael was not paying attention to push Suo Fei out of Nael’s protection so that this weak elf could be blasted into pieces.
This way, he would be accidentally killed and this matter would have nothing to do with him. Even if Samael would feel sad because of it, there’d be nothing that he could do about it, isn’t that so? He had already used the resurrection artifact to resurrect his mother. Thus, there’d be no possibility of the elf being resurrected again.
Sal increasingly felt that this idea was feasible. He carefully thought about it and ensured that there was nothing that he had overlooked. Thus, he quietly approached Suo Fei.
Suo Fei had always been vigilant so he keenly felt Hull’s approach. However, he didn’t think much of it at this moment and only assumed that there was too much pressure on Hull’s side and that Hull approached him to ask him for help.
Speaking of which, although Suo Fei didn’t have high fighting strength, defending himself was not a problem. With the help of the little cub and the fireball fatty, the three of them formed a steady triangle formation and were able to strongly resist the onslaught of attacks.
Sal was just about to carry out his plan when he suddenly halted.
He received a message from Summer.
Summer had succeeded! Summer could finally occupy Hull’s consciousness for a short period of time. It was difficult for Sal to hide his excitement. He only wanted the most crucial information, he didn’t care about anything else.
It was only a very brief moment but it was enough for Summer to obtain the information he wanted.
At this time, Sal received the information.
He suddenly looked at Suo Fei and was somewhat glad that he hadn’t acted out of impulse earlier.
It turned out that he would have to play a key role.
“The key to awakening Samael is to be betrayed by his true love.”
Although Sal didn’t want to admit it, he believed in Hull’s discernment. Samael had fallen in love with the elf. This was a fact. So to say, the elf only needed to betray him?
This might be difficult for others to accomplish, but it was really too easy for Sal. So easy that it couldn’t be any easier!
Sal smiled faintly and asked Summer to return.
He needed to distract Samael. He would need time to prepare so he stealthily contacted Linde.
Immediately after Ned received the response from Bran, he passed on the information to Linde. Linde looked at it and immediately carried out the order.
Suo Fei had always been behind Samael so he could accurately sense that Samael was consuming his strength so he could promptly heal him. Although there was an unending stream of enemies, Suo Fei was not afraid in the slightest. He knew that they would definitely be able to escape. He believed in Samael and also believed in himself!
The Paladins at the forefront unexpectedly retreated several steps all at once. Suo Fei narrowed his eyes, Linde must be playing tricks again.
Suo Fei’s eyes widened at the next scene.
It wasn’t unusual for a whole line of elves to appear out of nowhere. What was unusual, however, was that these elves looked exactly the same. Long, silver hair draped behind them. They were wearing white and blue cavalry attire and their silver eyes were big and round.
All of them looked exactly like Suo Fei. Suo Fei felt that he was looking at a mirror’s reflection. What is happening?!
Why do they all look like me?Do they want to immobilise Samael?Please! Stop the nonsense. The original is here so how could Samael believe it?
He hurried forward, wanting to tell Samael not to be fooled by these illusions.
However, he suddenly had a feeling that his body didn’t belong to him.
He tried to approach Samael and was actually able to. He saw Samael looking at him. He wanted to speak, but couldn’t speak. Then, he watched in surprise as the dagger in his hand pierced Samael’s chest.
