Chapter 553 Why the heck do you never listen?

Jian let out a sigh and looked back at the exhausted group behind him. Three humans and a crimson bird lay sprawled out among them, the bird appearing utterly fatigued as if she couldn't care less about her posture. All the humans, like him, had their clothes stained with blood. Among the three humans, the one with grey hair and hazel eyes stared at him with a deadpan expression and whispered.

"I warned you that we shouldn't head in this direction! Why the heck do you never listen? Just look at the mess we have gotten ourselves into!"

Jian scratched his head with a wry smile. How could Xavier blame him? Who would have thought a fight would break out on this side!? He was merely drawn this way after catching a glimpse of a mystical spirit that vanished in this direction. He wanted to follow the spirit and capture it!

He grumbled as Bia gave him a stern look. The phoenix took a few deep breaths and properly settled on the ground.

They had been battling individuals from the demon and dark races since the conflict began between the dark side and a group of elves. Unluckily, they were the first group to join the fight alongside the elves. But now, with all of them depleted of their divine energy, they were in hiding.

Initially, the fight was minor, just between the elves and the demon and dark races. But as time went on, more and more people from various races passing by got involved, or more specifically, they were forced to join because the supreme rank demons leading the battle were not allowing anyone to leave.

Bia closed her eyes with a weary expression, her entire body was aching, longing for nothing but rest. However, she snapped them open with a flash of anger when Jian spoke up once more.

"We are all alive and safe now, aren't we? So, everything's okay, no need to worry."

Bia flapped her wings frantically and escaped in a different direction when a demon attempted to grab her petite body. She hurled numerous curses at the woman with white slit pupils who tried to stab her with her nails. Some of the curses were so vulgar that Jian, who was in a fight with an individual from the dark race, had to look back to confirm they indeed came from their dear little Bia's mouth.

Xavier let out a pained grunt as a demon's sharp, pointy nails grazed over his thigh while he tried to fend off another attack aimed at his shoulder. Instantly, blood started pouring out from his wound.

The two humans beside him quickly came to his aid, but their faces paled as more demons began to gather around them.

They exchanged glances with panicked eyes since they couldn't seek assistance; everyone around was engrossed in their own battles, striving to survive.

The group of elves who were initially targeted by the demons were huddled together in the distance, doing their utmost to protect each other.

The newcomers who had joined the battlefield seemed indifferent to their own fates. So, who would come to their aid in this situation!? No one!

Jian clenched his jaw so tightly that he could taste the distant metallic tang of blood in his mouth as he pushed back an attack aimed at his stomach.

He excelled in close combat, but being a mage, he knew he wouldn't last long when his divine energy was already depleted!

Xavier, Jian, and the two humans' eyes widened when they heard Bia's pained shriek. The phoenix couldn't shift into her larger form as she had depleted her energy later than the others. So, even though they had gathered some divine energy, they knew that in such a short time, even if Bia had gathered some, she wouldn't be able to transform into her original form instantly!
