460 Captain Killer
This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
'Huh?'
Just as the elite demon general thought to kill the demon killer in the future, he heard some noises from some distance and immediately hidden and slowly looked in the direction of those noises.
Although he had the strength of an elite general realm, he valued his life more than anything. So, he was very careful even when he was relaxing.
In that direction, he saw six silhouettes running towards the exit direction of the cursed wilderness.
"Huh? She looks familiar," In the front most, the demon saw a familiar-looking human lady and immediately his eyes lit up.
'So what if you have saved the demon killer, Mercenary king. I will go for another one of your top captains...hehe,' Looking at the middle-aged human woman and five other humans, the demon cunningly smiled as he followed them secretly without alarming the group of humans.
That group of humans were none other than 'Blood Rose' mercenary squad members and the familiar looking middle-aged woman that the demon saw was the captain of the Blood rose mercenary squad, Madam Blood rose.
'I think, I better follow them and know why they are in such a hurry,' the elite demon not only valued his life but he was also a very curious one. So, even when he could sneak up on the 'Blood Rose' mercenary squad members, he quietly followed them.
"Captain, can I ask you something? Answer me only if you are comfortable with it,"
The squad members didn't know that one of the elite demon generals was following them secretly and fully focused on running behind their captain. Among the five squad members, one woman, who was just behind the blood rose, slowly asked her captain.
"Hmm"
Blood rose quietly nodded her head and gave a green signal to her squad member to ask a question.
After she left the fire sword sect, she formed the 'Blood Rose' mercenary squad as her home and considered all the squad members were her family members. So, she gave permission to the woman, who was just behind her.
"Are we going to help Captain Edmond, now?" She slowly asked her captain after hesitating for a moment.
Just thinking about killing another captain made the demon excited.
He was excited for a reason.
Similar to the captain of the demon killer mercenary squad, this elite demon general had a grudge against the captains of the mercenary captains. From the time he broke through to the general realm and until now, he killed more than 100 mercenary captains and gained a title among the mercenaries.
It was Captain Killer.
No one in the mercenaries knows his exact appearance as there was no one that remained alive after seeing him.
'With these two captains, I can finally reach 150...Haha,' The elite demon general, who was also known as captain killer, excitedly thought about the number of mercenary captains he had killed so far.
As for how he had killed that title was, after killing every captain, he would leave a small bomb that would release a specific number when someone touches it before blasting.
The last time, a mercenary group found a dead body of a mercenary captain, the small bomb released 148 before blasting away.
Just like that, the blood rose mercenary squad members and behind them, the captain killer rushed towards Edmond and others.
....
In another part of the cursed wilderness.
"Guild master, I sense something is wrong by thinking about all the events that are happening recently," Rulf said to the guild master with a serious expression on his face.
"Something wrong like what? About demons?" The Guild master never belittled Rulf's intuition as he knew how correct Rulf's intuition was in the past and how much it helped him.
So, he asked Rulf to give something more specific, then they could be careful with that.
"It's like, the demon's invasion this time is very different from the past," Rulf narrowed it down and explained more about the demon invasion.
"So, you are saying that they have other plans other than invading us?" the old guild master suddenly thought about something and halted in his footsteps all of sudden and asked Rulf.
