Chapter 182 Plan (1)



Seeing that there weren't any other moves from the demons, I didn't stay here to watch any longer.

Knowing that they were content with just sitting here and enjoying the banquet, I knew that I shouldn't waste this chance that had been given to me. As long as they were here, then I would be able to talk to the prisoners that had been captured.

So I didn't waste any time heading back through the passage.

The first group that I chose to contact were…the humans.

They would be easier to convince to go along with my plan, so I chose to talk to them first.

After making my way back to that cave, I stood there over the other members of my group who were lying there on the ground.

They were still in the same position as when I left. It seemed that they were still under the influence of whatever had been used to knock them out.

It had to be some kind of special poison that was used with how effective it was, so it definitely wasn't something that could be solved that easily.

It was a good thing that I had already thought of this, so I had collected something special from the treasury just for this.

The demons didn't know what the use of this was, so they had just tossed behind those bars.

But I knew that this thing was a powerful antidote that worked on most poisons.

Not to mention that since it was a flower, a living being, it was something that could be used again and again. It was not something that could only be used once and then it would be useless.

However, I also knew that it was a bad idea to wake everyone up at once…

So I started moving them in the cave.

The flower's pollen, which was the antidote, only had a certain area of effect. This area of effect was actually quite small.

As long as they weren't in that area of effect, the pollen wouldn't reach them and they wouldn't be cured of the poison afflicting them.

So I separated them to only awaken a few of them at a time so that there wouldn't be mass panic.

The ones that I awakened first were Cecilia and Haley.

After separating them from the rest, I brought out the flower and let the pollen from it fall onto them.

Slowly but surely, the two of them started to wake up.

As they opened their eyes, I already had my hands raised. Then the moment that they saw where they were, they opened their mouths to say something, but I had already put my hands over them.

That was the reason why I had raised them in the first place.

The two of them reacted very differently to this.

Haley's eyes opened wide and she was filled with shock when this happened.

But Cecilia's eyes only had that shocked look for a second before they turned firm. They looked like she was about to fight her way out of this.I think you should take a look at

She had even started opening her mouth as if she was about to bite the hand that was currently covering her mouth.

However, before she could, I came forward to reveal myself and gave them a sign to be quiet.

Both of them were surprised to see that it was me, but after seeing that it was me, they calmed down a bit. Haley's eyes returned to normal while Cecilia stopped trying to struggle.

Though…with the bit of struggle that she had put on earlier…there was a bit of slobber on my hand now…

It really felt strange with this on my hand…

But I ignored it and wiped it off on my clothes after taking my hand off Cecilia's mouth.

There was a moment of silence before Haley suddenly asked, "What is going on here?"

She was a smart person, so when she saw this situation, she knew that something had to be going on. Once she knew that, she didn't waste any time in asking me what was happening.

I looked at her with a look of praise after hearing this before giving a simple explanation.

After all, there was very little time, so I couldn't tell her everything that happened.

The only thing that I could give her was a simple summary of everything.

After she finished hearing this, Haley suddenly fell into deep thought.

Cecilia on the other hand had a bit of an excited look on her face as she said, "So we're going to be fighting the demons?"

A bitter smile crept onto my face when I heard this, but I shook my head in the end before saying, "It's not that simple. If we go in without any plans, then we won't be able to do much." After a pause, I added, "Not to mention, there are still those elves that are being held hostage outside."

Cecilia revealed a disdainful look when she heard this.

While she didn't say anything, it made it clear by the look on her face that she didn't want to save those elves that were trapped outside.

The bitter smile on my face became wider, but I still said, "You know that we have to save them. If we don't then we won't be able to accomplish our goal."

Cecilia's expression didn't change at first, but then she gave a sigh and said, "Alright."

I gave a nod in response, but I knew where she was coming from.

After all, with how Apollo had treated us since the beginning, it made him very unlikeable. If I had a choice, I wouldn't have chosen to save him either…but there was no choice here.

If we were to leave those elves to their fate, then it would be impossible to negotiate with the elven village.

It was at this time that Haley finished thinking and she asked, "What plan do you have right now?"

I gave an appreciative nod to her intelligence and then quickly explained my plan.
