del smiled and said, "Well that won’t do. If you don’t join our team, then I’ll have to consider you a competitor, and I won’t be polite about it. Either you die here, or you activate the Teleportation Ring and return now."
The young man naturally didn’t want to activate the Teleportation Ring to go back; he had worked hard to get here and wasn’t about to give up the hard-earned spot so easily.
However, it seems that the situation at hand wasn’t sothing he could decide. Wade and Tessa had already co in from both sides, ready to make a move at any ti.
"Don’t fight, I am willing to join your team." The young man judged the situation and felt it was better to superficially submit than to be forced to withdraw.
After all, he thought he could find an opportunity to escape later; he didn’t believe these three could watch him all the ti.
del spread out his hands and smiled, "Very well, my friend, welco to join us. By the way, what’s your na?"
"Mata." The young man said.
del leaned forward and asked, "Oh, excuse , my friend. I didn’t quite catch that; what is your na again?"
"Mata." Mata repeated.
At this mont, Wade and Tessa stopped approaching further, seemingly not intending to make a move against him.
Seeing this, Mata felt a slight relief in his heart.
He had worked hard to get here; he didn’t want things to end so easily.
The Teleportation Ring wasn’t sothing he would use unless absolutely necessary.
At this mont, a feeling of unease suddenly surged in Mata’s heart.
He looked up and saw del holding a worn parchnt, on which were written the two words, Mata.
del smiled and said, "Mata, my friend, I dislike being refused."
Mata knew things were not going well and was preparing to activate the Teleportation Ring, only to find that the magic power throughout his body was extrely sluggish, unable to function normally.
Moreover, he found that his body couldn’t move, and even his breathing and heartbeat had stopped.
"Curse!"
Mata was also a knowledgeable Crystalization Wizard and quickly realized that he had been cursed.
This must be a kind of curse that temporarily binds oneself. Although the duration won’t be long, it is fatal, especially now.
Puff!
As soon as Mata felt the binding fade away, a red claw had already pierced through his chest, gripping his heart, then instantly crushed it.
"All those who refuse must die."
del whispered smilingly in Mata’s ear, his face covered in the splattered fresh blood.
Wade and Tessa saw this scene and heard del’s words, a chill ran through them internally, and they bowed their heads in silent submission.
After dealing with Mata, del took out a clean handkerchief, wiped his hands, and then tossed the handkerchief on the ground.
"Let’s keep going." del said with a smile.
Wade and Tessa exchanged a look and quickly followed along.
When passing by Mata’s corpse, Wade casually slipped off the ring from Mata’s hand.
del sensed this but simply smiled without saying anything.
...
After a while, a black shadow swiftly passed through the forest, and stopped briefly upon passing Mata’s corpse, then continued forward.
Herag had observed the entire process just now and also heard del’s words.
Having heard what del said, he thought to himself that he not only rejected his invitation but rejected it repeatedly.
This shows that, although del’s surface deanor is friendly, he likely harbored resentnt against him for a while.
Herag originally entered the X-617 World intending to kill Malcolm, but now it seems he might have to add del to the list.
However, del poses so trouble, having two people by his side, making him harder to kill.
With Witchcraft Artifacts likely on him, it would be hard to quickly take him down.
If del gets an opportunity to activate the Space Ring to return, it would be problematic.
Therefore, Herag had to wait for the perfect opportunity and couldn’t rashly act against del.
del uses a Level 3 Witch Array to rest at night, offering no chance to act against him.
Herag can only continue to bide his ti and wait for a chance.
If no opportunity arises, it won’t be possible to forcefully act, as Herag suspects del likely has many hidden thods at his disposal.
In Serlandir’s Secret Vault, there’s even the Substitute Death Grassman; he doesn’t believe del doesn’t have similar ans.
Herag thought it was quite tricky, as dealing with people like him was indeed troubleso.
He felt that it might be hard to find a chance to kill del this ti in the X-671 World.
The existence of the Teleportation Ring significantly lowered Herag’s margin for error.
More importantly, he knew too little about del’s strength and was unaware of the ans he possessed.
The parchnt he saw just now was one of del’s witchcraft artifacts. Its effect seems to be, after writing the target’s na on the parchnt, calling out to them; if they respond, they will be temporarily bound.
Herag had just seen this parchnt hovering behind del, and del used magic power to write Mata’s na on it.
Mata’s attention, however, was on guarding against Wade and Tessa, and he unintentionally fell into a trap.
Herag silently rembered the parchnt and continued to trail del’s party from afar.
A month later.
"There, I see it!"
The three of del suddenly heard shouting from ahead, and judging from the voices, more than one person, many people were ahead.
The three of them imdiately quickened their pace, rushing forward.
A group of people scattered throughout the forest, searching for sothing all over the place.
del imdiately spotted a familiar face, a strong man loyal to him nad Alimu.
He shouted at the person below, "Alimu!"
Alimu was looking towards the front of the forest for sothing; hearing the voice, he turned around, recognized del, and promptly ran over.
"Master, it’s great to see you." Alimu said with a smile.
del smiled and nodded, "Great, our team has grown a bit stronger. By the way, what are you all doing here?"
"We discovered a White Deer, and that White Deer is particularly strange. It’s incredibly fast and can’t be caught. It’s like it doesn’t exist in this space at all, impossible to touch it. I’ve been chasing it for half a month now, pursued it to here, and recently thinking about how to capture it." Alimu explained truthfully.
"White Deer." del fell into thought.
He soon realized that this White Deer might not be an ordinary demon but likely the Child of the Plane.
Most Extraordinary Life in this World is still at a very primitive stage, and judging by Alimu’s description, that White Deer clearly has mastered certain Spatial Rules and can freely wield them.
This White Deer is remarkably advanced compared to other Extraordinary Life, quite unusual.
