Chapter 659 Slaughter [1]
"Oh? The boy has an impressive background?" The queen asked.
When she saw Azaroth shake his head, her delicate brows rose ever so slightly. "Then what's the problem?"
"That kid... he isn't simple." Azaroth said, a solemn light flickering in his eyes, "I can't properly put it in words, but when I laid eyes on him, my instincts screamed at me to be his friend or at least not to become his enemy."
The queen's previous somewhat carefree expression disappeared when she heard him, and a gleam flashed in her eyes.
"You sure about it?" She asked,
Azaroth caressed her cheek with a finger and asked while looking deep in her eyes, a hint of smile in his eyes, "Even an ordinary King Mage would believe his instincts, let alone me."
The queen nodded and asked, "Then, what are you going to do now?"
"I'll give him the masked ghost, the guy who just left. Since only he has acted against his family, killing him would hopefully sate his anger."
"What if it did not?" The queen asked,
"If it did not..." Azaroth muttered, his gaze becoming vacant as she stared in the distance. "It will... it definitely will."
"Stop being so worried then." The queen said, placing her head on his shoulder and looking at him with her limpid eyes.
...
Swoosh!
Bang! Boom!
Ahhhh!
"Elder Bajj! Please help. Ah! Noooo–"
Ha!
Taking a deep breath, he glanced in Emily's direction... his eyes flashing with a vicious glint when he saw her bloody figure, barely able to hold her sword.
Swoosh!
He appeared in front of the three demons—two early-stage and one mid-stage Four Star—that were attacking her and grabbed the necks of two early-stage ones.
"If not for the situation, I would very much like to torture you until you beg me to kill you." He uttered in a bone chilling, cold voice before clenching his fingers and squashing their necks into a meat paste.
Bang!
He then turned to the mid-stage demon and punched his head, killing him too.
Thud!
Behind him, when Emily saw him, she felt the last bits of her strength leave her, and she slumped to the ground, her eyelids becoming heavy. Still, there was a small, satisfied smile on her bloody face because she had heard what he said to those demons.
After killing them, he picked her up, feeling his heart hurt when he scanned her body. Although she didn't have severe injuries, she had many minor to mid wounds and several of her bones had fractured, her mana core had dried up, and she was completely drained.
If he was just a few seconds late...
He didn't even want to think about it. Swoosh!
He took her to the ice dome, took out a clean mattress from his spatial ring, and gently laid her on top of it.
After giving her a few Grade three healing pills and injecting some of his bloodline energy into her body to help her recover faster, he gently said, "You sleep for a while, alright?"
Emily looked at him with her blurry eyes and nodded.
Before leaving the ice dome, he mixed his bloodline energy into mana and reinforced the structure so it wouldn't easily fall if some stray attacks landed on it.
