Chapter 24 - Too Late!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Before it could touch Nita’s body, it was blocked by the holy light of protection. The light surged, turning into a wave and slamming it down. The demon immediately let out a cry filled with fear. Following the purification, the demon almost collapsed.

“Such a pure light of purification, how is it possible?!”

The demon struggled before it died. However, it was useless. Dina, who had come out at the first moment, swung at its head. The dark crescent-shaped energy blade instantly arrived in front of the demon.

Rip!

Its entire body was torn into two on the spot. Its soul was directly scattered!

[ Ding! Your elves, Dina and Nita, have killed a peak level-4 demon. Obtained 500 experience points! ]

There was actually 500 experience points! Lorne looked a little surprised.

However, when he thought about the terrifying strength of the demon, an ordinary spirit envoy would really die if they encountered it. It was indeed worth 500 experience points.

“With this, the strength of the two sisters can be increased again.”

Lorne was delighted. With this 500 experience points, together with his current balance, it would require 900 experience points to increase from level-4 to level-5. After that, he would still have 100 experience points left.

However, the remaining 100 experience points could not do much. Even if it was skills and potential, he would still need 300 experience points to level up. He could only save them for now.

He summoned Dina’s virtual interface. Lorne spent 900 experience points to level up Dina to level-5!

Dina’s body was surging with spirit energy and her strength had increased again. No matter what, the elder sister would definitely be stronger than the younger sister.

“Let’s go, we’re done here. Let’s go to the next target.”

Lorne smiled and patted Nita’s little head.

With the death of the demon, the magical realm naturally disappeared. The two sisters also turned into a ball of light and returned to the magic lamp space.

At this time, Lorne also turned around and walked out of the ruins. Not long after, he returned to the exit of the ruins. The strange thing was that he did not see the middle-aged spirit envoy from before.

“Has he left?”

Lorne had a puzzled look on his face.

“So what if he left? Anyway, the mission has already been completed and there will be people from the Federation coming over to confirm it later.”

After getting on his small motorcycle, Lorne left. He still had to rush to the next location of the mission!

After Lorne left, the middle-aged spirit envoy that had disappeared carefully walked out from behind a large rock that he was hiding behind. He looked in the direction Lorne had gone and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

“He killed a peak level-4 demon so quickly. How powerful is he?”

The middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and could not help but say with a face full of fear, “Unfortunately, it looks like I won’t be able to earn 500 contribution points!”

Since Lorne had already left, those guys obviously would not pay him the promised amount of contribution points. The middle-aged man wanted to delay Lorne and wait for the assassins to arrive, but this would definitely arouse Lorne’s vigilance.

Having been in this circle for more than 20 years, he had long developed the habit of being cautious. In addition, Lorne had dealt with a peak level-4 demon so quickly. This was something that even he could not do! With such frightening strength, how could he have the courage to run out and stop him?

Seeing Lorne come out from afar, he immediately hid and waited for Lorne to leave before he dared to show himself. He was afraid that he would not be able to reap the benefits and end up in trouble.

“I have to be alive to earn contribution points and spend them. I only hope that this matter will not involve me again.”

The middle-aged man was worried. If it were not for the fact that he urgently needed contribution points to advance his elf, he would not have taken the risk to do such a thing.

If he did not earn contribution points, he might even get himself into big trouble. The middle-aged man regretted it to death. If he had known that Lorne was so strong, he would not have coveted the 500 contribution points.

“Forget it, let’s inform those people first. Those guys aren’t people to be trifled with.”

The middle-aged man, who could afford to offend no one, opened his phone and sent a message with a bitter expression.

On the other side, in a car that was rushing over, among the four powerful spirit envoys, a bald man sitting in the front passenger seat received this message. He immediately frowned.

“We’re still a step too late. That kid has already left that place.”

“Did he get played by someone else? That kid was able to get rid of a level-4 evil spirit so quickly?”

The other three spirit envoys looked surprised.

“Boss, are we still going over?”

“Keep going. At least we can ask the fellow where the kid had gone to,” the bald man said.

Ten minutes later, the car arrived at the periphery of the ruins. The four spirit envoys got off the car and found the middle-aged man who was waiting there.

When they met, the middle-aged man pointed in the direction Lorne had left and said, “He went in that direction but ten minutes have already passed. I’m afraid you won’t be able to find him even if you chase after him.”

The bald man glanced at him and then nodded indifferently.

“Give him 200 contribution points,” he turned his head and said to the skinny spirit envoy.

The man was stunned for a moment, but he did not say anything. He did as he was told and transferred 200 contribution points to the middle-aged man.

“Remember that you haven’t seen us today and we haven’t contacted each other,” the bald man said to him.

“Okay, we’ve never seen each other before!” The middle-aged man nodded and calmly accepted the hush points.

Although there was a difference from the initial 500 contribution points, at least it was not a waste of effort. If he wanted to earn 200 contribution points, it would take him a few days.

After all, not every spirit envoy was like Lorne, who had a system to help the elves recover their aura. They had only been spirit envoys for a few days and they could earn one or two thousand a day.

“Let’s go.” The bald man called his three brothers and drove in the direction the middle-aged man pointed.

In the car.

The thin spirit envoy driving finally could not help but ask, “Boss, why don’t we just kill that guy?”

They had not found Lorne yet and they had even spent 200 contribution points.

The bald man looked at him and said, “Don’t cause trouble. The target this time is a bit troublesome, so we should try our best not to cause unnecessary trouble.

“Killing that guy will certainly save us a sum of money, but there’s no guarantee that someone will follow this clue and trace it back to us. Spending a little money now can shut that guy up. As long as that guy doesn’t want to cause big trouble for himself, this matter will definitely rot in his stomach!”

The bald man’s analysis seemed to be very reasonable. To put it bluntly, that middle-aged man was also a participant in this matter. If the matter was exposed, it would not be of any benefit to him.

In addition to the hush points, the bald man was sure that this guy would definitely keep this matter a secret.

“There’s no need to pay 200, right?” the skinny little spirit envoy muttered a little unwillingly.

“Enough, Third Brother. It’s just 200 contribution points! Look at how much your heart aches!”

The two people in the back row laughed and said.

“Tsk! That’s all earned through hard work. It’s hard money!”

“Enough, stop talking.”

At this moment, the bald man interrupted their argument.

“This 200 is on me. Third Brother, do you have any objections?”

Being stared at by the boss, the skinny third brother quickly laughed dryly.

“Boss, that’s not what I meant,” he said.

“There’s no need to say anymore. Go to this place now. There’s a high chance that kid went there.”

The bald man gave a GPS location and sent it to third brother’s phone.

“Alright, Brothers, sit tight.. I’m going to speed up this time!”
