“What did you say!?”

Hearing Lin Xiao’s words even disturbed darkness who usually maintained a calm demeanor. He was just ridiculing Claire who acted like a shrew in front of Lin Xiao, but now it was his turn to get a taste of Lin Xiao’s abilities.

He originally didn’t want to show himself, but after Lin Xiao exterminated a lot of his army, he had to give him a warning. He prepared a lot of words and planned to tell Lin Xiao how powerful the enlightened society was and how noble their mission was to scare Lin Xiao and force him to leave.

After all, no matter how strong an individual was, they weren’t worth mentioning in front of an entire organization. Lin Xiao was smart and understood that so he wouldn’t resist, and this mission had nothing to do with Lin Xiao so it was fine letting him go.

But now… before he even said anything, Lin Xiao already made a declaration of war?

Is there something wrong with his head?

“Lin Xiao, I didn’t expect you to be so strong, it seems I misjudged… but do you really think that you can defeat my living dead army by yourself?”

“Of course, if I can’t beat these small fries you wouldn’t have been forced to show yourself, so you also think so, right?”

“Tsk… cunning brat.”

“Lin Xiao, I advise you to give up and stop resisting meaninglessly! My target is just Caesar and Claire, as long as you leave obediently, I won’t make things difficult for you… don’t worry, I won’t lie to a nobody like you.”

“A nobody? Hehe, indeed.” Lin Xiao was amused and chuckled, “Though I may be a nobody, I can’t just escape like that.”

“Why not? What do their lives have to do with you?”

“A lot!” Lin Xiao extended a finger, “Number one, Caesar is my friend, although he gets a bit annoying sometimes, but overall he’s a pretty good idiot, so I have to save him.”

“You…”

“Number two.” Lin Xiao interrupted him and extended a second finger, “I already said earlier that Claire was my woman, how can I as a master abandon a maid that’s about to be trained… ow, Claire, how dare you kick me?”

“Bastard, be serious!”

Claire was pretty moved when she heard his first point and praised his righteousness, but she couldn’t refrain from kicking him when she heard the second point.

Why can’t this guy just be serious instead of constantly saying things that’s just asking to get hit.

“Damn tomboy, I’ll take care of you later… cough, also most importantly, number three!”

“Darkness, I already told you that I would uproot your organization sooner or later, so if you want to live, obediently tell me your plans!”

“Hahaha… you want to uproot us?” He was also amused by his crazy words. So in the end, this kid was just an egomania who didn’t know his place!

But… when recalling the terrifying power Lin Xiao displayed, he felt some fear. He had been observing for a while and saw that Lin Xiao could easily cast seventh-level magic, and his strength might be even above that, a rare genius, it was unlikely for a genius like that to not know what they’re doing.

So the question was… why was he making an enemy out of them?

“Lin Xiao… did you do that at the wailing canyon? You used Yao Zi as a scapegoat and secretly took Adele away?”

“Yeah, that’s right, I did that.”

“As expected! So at the Heino Kingdom academy tournament…”

“That’s right, that was also me. I was the one who got your fatty Anderson and destroyed his lesser devils and his plans.”

“And this time as well…”

“That’s right, that’s also me. I know that you guys were definitely involved with this plague so I participated in this mission. Going with Claire was just a front to trick you… so, do you finally know what kind of person I am?”

“Yeah, I know… you’re our enemy!” He finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

If they were wolves hunting in the dark, then Lin Xiao would be a ruthless hunter that was stalking them from behind! He naively thought that Lin Xiao was a fool, but Lin Xiao had already had his eyes on them and was hiding behind them and hunting their comrades!

Lin Xiao had said that keeping a low profile was the best camouflage and his sharpest blade. Though the blade may seem flimsy, he could concentrate it at one point and piece through them right towards the heart.

If he just left Lin Xiao, then before long he could completely ruin their great plans!

“Darkness, I see you can’t speak out of shock, so let me help you… this child is terrifying, he must be eliminated as soon as possible, for the consequences will be unimaginable!”

Lin Xiao who had a harmless smile abruptly changed, he snapped and magic shot out in all directions along with lightning and thunder.

Because of the order, all the living dead were just standing there like targets for Lin Xiao’s magic, and in several breaths, there were no more of them left standing within several hundred meters.

“I get it, so you really want to make an enemy of us… not just me, but also the apostle, we were all tricked!!” He ignored the explosions around him and clenched his fist, even if you couldn’t see his expression under the hood, you could tell he was alarmed.

“But why, aren’t you a student from Loran Academy? Why do you have to go against us? … Could there be someone behind you!?”

He couldn’t understand why Lin Xiao was doing all this, and would never believe that he was just doing it because of a promise to his maid, at the same time, he couldn’t even imagine how terrifying Lin Xiao’s background must be.

If there had to be one, then the entire demon race was probably Lin Xiao’s support?

Oh right, if it was including Snow, then you could add on a small half of the holy light church.

“Since you already made up your mind, then why did you purposely force me to show… wait, I remember you had a couple of other teammates, Yao Zi, and that princess with two swords, where did they… shit! I’ve been had!”

Looking at the empty area around him, he suddenly felt a sense of danger!

If Lin Xiao was the ruthless hunter, then wouldn’t he be the prey!?

So Lin Xiao’s goal wasn’t just to force him to show himself, his plan went much deeper, not only was he fishing he also wanted to eat fish!

“Hehe, as expected of someone from the enlightened society, not bad… but too little too late!”

Lin Xiao laughed and clapped his hands as the signal!

“My beloved maid… action!”

Darkness panicked when he heard Lin Xiao’s orders and wanted to escape, while Claire was still dazing out and couldn’t keep up with their conversation.

But Lin Xiao didn’t expect anything from her, since everything was already prepared.

“You want to kill me… it won’t be that easy!”

He didn’t know what Lin Xiao was scheming, and in a panic, he first waved his hands and spread out a blackish-purple mist and all the living dead received the orders. The surroundings may have been cleared, but there was no end to the living dead army as they rushed over from afar.

At the same time, darkness hid and planned to slip away…

“Want to leave? It won’t be that easy!” A delicate voice could be heard from a distance.

“What?”

Before he could slip away a large circle of lightning appeared around with him as the center and imprisoned him within.

At this time, two girls were sitting on top of a thick tree branch and observing them from far above.

“Elena, you’re amazing! I listened to you and I was able to catch him even from so far away!”

If it wasn’t for the fact that she was still casting the magic, Yao Zi really would have kissed her!

“Don’t be careless, you still haven’t completely trapped him… the next magic is key!”

Elena closely observed the situation and used her perception to accurately pick up even the slightest movements.

With her responsible for observing the enemy and Yao Zi responsible for the magic, that was Lin Xiao’s plan.

Darkness never expected that other than Lin Xiao, he would have to worry about an ambush from afar.

“Yao Zi, how long until the next magic is ready?”

“It’s already ready!”

“That quick… as expected of the wizard’s bloodline. The target hasn’t changed, the same place as last time, blow him up!”

“Okay!”

Yao Zi nodded and with a wave of her hands, a flaming red meteor fell from above aimed at the trapped target.

“No, the direction changed… adjust three meters to the left!”

“Y-yes!”

“Too slow, he’s trying to escape… don’t let him. Pick up the pace!”

“Okay, vice-captain Elena!”

Although she didn’t know how Elena could anticipate the drop point ahead of time, she just believed that there would be no problem if she listened!

And so, the flaming meteor accurately fell towards the defenseless target without any deviation!
