Chapter 221: A Slight Disturbance



"You heard that, right?" Following the alleged leader of the clan with his eyes, Raven whispered to the others as they hid at the very edge of the forest. The screams from the basement had attracted the attention of the elven guards and even their leader was heading in that direction. "Fuck...We don't have time, time to go!"

Realizing that something had gone wrong underground, Raven connected everyone's mind through his mana-fused eye and directed them with his fingers. The most important part of their plan was supposed to be watching over the clan and figuring out more about the alliance for now, but since that had blown up, there was no use hiding any longer.

'Kill them, before they can blink.' Aria, Mel, Erika, and even Lilith, all followed his command and darted out of the forest. Their sudden appearance was intentionally made known as Raven and the rest stomped their way closer towards Tymaan–the leader of the dark elves. 'Clear a way to him–the others will fall without a leader.'

'I can always plague them...' Erika suggested and everyone except Lilith chuckled at her response. It even left her a bit baffled, as to how in the specter of a second that took them to get close to the surprised elves, Raven and his companions were making jokes to each other. But what she heard next left her even more baffled.

'That'd be too easy now, won't it?' Was Raven's reply.

Before she could wrap her head around it, the world resumed its natural flow of time, and in the blink of an eye, the mage–the barbarian, and even the priestess were all covered in blood with dead elves thrashing to the ground left and right.

'WHAT THE HELL?!' Her senses were far too slow to notice the barbarian knocking the heads off of the elves with a single punch each, or to catch Raven's swift feet hiding him around to slice through their bellies or even the priestess's whispering curses that made the dark elves stab themselves with their own weapons.

"Maybe we over-prepared a little?" Raven muttered, and the last of the elven bodies fell to the ground.

We can eradicate every single person here so there's not a speck of your filthy faces left on Atlaria."

The horde of people reeled in by Erika thrashed against each other in the lasso in a desperate attempt to escape. Tightening the mystic rope the more they struggled, she began squeezing them hard until their eyes began popping out of their skulls.

Tymaan's eyes wandered between his people and the party, as he still didn't want to give anything to them, even if it meant the complete eradication of his plans. That is until, the sounds of steps and a woman's cries creeped out of the dungeon steps. Glancing over to the entrance in the ground, his eyes widened in horror at the sight of Amedith dragging Flora along by her hair.

"How about now? Gonna speak or should I send her and your children to the devils as well?" Although barely holding himself together after that spell to conjure devils, Amedith's bloodied body warned Tymaan to not take his threat in jest.

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!" He screamed, but his voice was quickly reeled in as Liliyana who'd just walked up beside Amedith began making herself larger. Following her height with his gaze, he watched and watched until her body shadowed the entire village under her shade.

"Don't you dare scream at him," warned the devil, her enraged sapphire eyes lighting the very shade over the village chief. "I may be a healer, but it'll take me one step to bury your entire village."

Between giving up information about the other clans or saving his future children, Tymaan had no real choice. His blood still boiled with anger and his teeth audibly creaked through his tightly clenched jaws, however, with a sideways glance at Raven, he finally made up his mind.

"Let my children live and I'll tell you everything..." He begged.

'No mercy.' Raven told the others but nodded to the elf's request.
