Chapter 40: Crimson Maiden [2] - Meeting Up
After Liora left the City of Embers, she didn’t choose to wander in the wasteland.
She lifted her head, and after observing the crimson sun for some time, she adjusted her route, heading toward a certain direction.
As she walked forward, she met a devastated land, clearly bearing traces of battle.
Following these traces—which happened to lead directly to her destination—Liora cut straight through the wilderness.
It was unclear how much time had passed, but before long, she finally arrived.
Surprisingly, her destination was neither a city nor a populous area, but an empty, barren mountain made entirely of Hellstone.
Her arrival here was not an accident.
This was the site that she and Alpha had agreed to meet in, after everything in the City of Embers was over.
However, as Liora stood before the mountain, she found no trace of Alpha. Instead, the sound of battle reached her ears, piquing her interest.
With no hesitation, she merged with the shadows and followed those sounds.
Moments later, she arrived at the battlefield and saw the two warring parties.
One was a team of little imp Devils that looked cartoonishly evil, while the other one was Alpha, together with an unexpected person—Scurry.
Many little imps’ corpses lay on the ground, as Scurry stood in front of Alpha, fighting fiercely against them.
Behind him, Alpha stood with an indifferent expression.
Even as Scurry turned bloody and covered in wounds, she didn’t show any change in her expression.
She calmly waved her hand, activating some of the Arrays that Liora had given her and providing him with assistance.
Liora was surprised.
She couldn’t understand how Alpha and Scurry had gotten together, nor why the two were besieged by enemies.
However, she quickly shook her head.
She could always investigate the reason later. For now, the most important thing was to get rid of the enemies.
Deciding this, Liora didn’t show up but instead remained hidden.
Shadows spun around her like a spider’s web, stopping in front of her before weaving into countless tiny needles.
The needles floated in the air, and as Liora waved her hand, they shot towards the little imps.
Their speed was shockingly fast, and coupled with the element of sneak attack, the needles struck the imp Devils, embedding into their bodies and turning them into hedgehogs.
Taking this opportunity, Scurry rushed forward and, after fending off another wave of attacks, eliminated the remaining imps.
Seeing that the enemies that had troubled him were finally dealt with, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Liora.
"Crimson, you’re finally here.
