Chapter 851: A Trap

Chapter 851: A Trap

Like swatting a fly, the stone giant continued swinging at the three human eight-stars. At the same time, the female mages prepared spell ended up fizzling against the might of my stone giant.

For the time being, we were at a stalemate. However, the villagers seemed to be getting rowdy.

The soldiers were thrown into disarray by the stone giants attacks. That was until one of their officers rallied them together; said officer seemed to be even trying to communicate with the villagers.

However, the villagers took the unusual but decisive step of firing at the soldiers. Every villager was basically a skilled hunter in their own right. They lived off the land, and every man worth his salt could wield a bow.

Thanks to that, the soldiers could barely lift their heads amongst the withering arrow storm. But there was still the matter of the higher-starred soldiers, each able to slaughter the villagers many times over.

I wonder whats going on over there? Werent those villagers busy being spectators? And that person who shot first Green hair, a face that says he has been cheated on multiple times is that Moranthal? Is he finally going to be a man?

Now thats a spectacle to witness.

I was considering whether or not to destroy that village after killing off these soldiers, but it seems like its no longer necessary to decide. Fine. I will spare your lives, but you will spend those lives repaying your debts to the Demoness Abode

O Emissary of the Inferno, I command thee, burn all that stands before me to nothingness!

Mana quickly coalesced into three distinctly humanoid shaped fire elementals.

Go, burn them all to a crisp.

Being my summons, they naturally did not need much more instructions to understand my will. Swerving around the three eight-stars in an S-shaped pattern, they immediately dove towards the soldiers.

Seemingly in the midst of another spell, the ground beneath her suddenly exploded.

A second later, she emerged from the smoke unharmed and wrapped in a protective bubble. However, the instant she left the smoke, a black shadow flashed across the battlefield. Still in the middle of a jump, a strange silhouette appeared behind her back

Time seemed to stop there and then. The black shadows hand could be seen transforming slowly into a deadly sword aimed directly at the helpless mage. It cut through the protective bubble like butter, stabbing her right through the heart.

Vakarina!

At that instant, time resumed, and the sole flower in this desolate wasteland withered

Having witnessed the death of that female mage, Sorrowind immediately lost his cool. Amidst his hoarse shouting, he ran towards her with the fastest speed he had ever mustered.

Ahhh! Die! You monster!

Pushed to his limits, Sorrowind actually managed to reach my Shadow Demon and swing at it before the female mages corpse even hit the ground.

The shadow demon lost an arm, but it swiftly melted into the shadows, disappearing without a trace.

The bottle of fire mana that I threw away just now was secretly caught by my shadow demon. While I was diverting all of their attention, it snuck a toss at the female mage.

An explosion would definitely set off a dust cloud in the vicinity of that female mage, and her spells would have needed eyesight to connect

Thus the trap was set for a kill
