*Roar!*
*Roar!*
*Roar!*
There were a series of roars echoing through the area. However, the sound was still quite far from the bridge.
During that period, the two from the Demon Hunting Squad continued watching the surrounding, making sure there were no demons that strayed from the trouble and ended up reaching this place.
In the anti, Rose focused on her ears, trying to find a way to locate the enemies.
But to her surprise, the sound actually moved farther and farther as if they were not planning to attack them.
"This is weird…" Rose narrowed her eyes.
"Is there sothing wrong, Rose?" Paul asked, feeling concerned. He had to stop his activity because of the possibility of a huge outbreak.
"No. I might've overthought everything… I don't know why but the demons are moving away from us."
"Isn't that good news?"
"Yeah." Rose nodded and pointed in their direction. "It seems they're going that way."
Paul frowned and recalled the maps. According to her direction, they should be going to an empty field where there was no civilization for at least one or two days. So, they were safe for the ti being.
Even if the demons went toward another city in that direction, there was enough ti to inform the other city, considering they could use the pigeon to send the news.
"If that's the case, we're pretty safe for the ti being." Paul let out a sigh of relief. "Just in case, we're going to stay here until the rest is back. After that, we'll send them to check the situation. They can handle the nest together with what is happening right now."
"Yes. That's the plan." Rose agreed with the suggestion since she had thought the sa thing. Although they could ask the two from the Demon Hunting Squad to find out what happened, the situation was a bit unstable.
So, Rose chose not to risk the entire progress.
The other team went back after four hours.
All of them seed to be pretty energetic, despite fighting against many demons and a few Peak Level Demons.
The only one who felt a bit worn out was Richard since he took on all the Peak Level Demons.
"You guys are finally back!" Paul waved his hand, putting down his tools to check his team.
"Is there sothing wrong?" Noel asked Rose, who had a worried expression.
In that instant, all eyes were on Rose. Seeing how uncomfortable she was, Paul explained. "She has heard the movent of demons, but it seems they're moving away. We haven't checked it since the situation was unstable before."
Richard thought for a mont and asked, "So, you want us to check the situation there?"
"Yes. You're going to clean the nest, so you might as well do it." Paul nodded.
Richard nodded in agreent. There was nothing wrong with doing it since they were planning to go there.
"By the way, do you want to get so rest first? It seems you have fought a lot of demons there. So, you might want to take a breather. In the anti, I'll prepare so light food to replenish your stamina," Paul asked Richard while examining the team's condition.
"No. It's better if we settle this as soon as possible. After that, it won't be too late to get sothing to eat." Richard rejected it. Although they had exhausted so of their stamina, they still had enough to crush the other nest.
Since there was an unstable situation before, it was better to confirm it as soon as possible.
"Alright then." Paul stepped back and tossed so water bottles. "At least, get sothing to drink."
Richard ended up allowing the group to rest for five minutes while they discussed the next plan.
Unlike before, Richard proposed they went to the nest a bit more carefully, not wanting to get ambushed because of the uncertainty.
There was no objection, even from Noel. After the break was over, they imdiately rushed to the other nest.
Five minutes soon passed. But to their surprise, there wasn't a single demon in the area.
Richard beca even more cautious in this situation, thinking the demons from this nest were aware of their existence and planned to intercept them sowhere. They even spread their team to check their surroundings.
Unfortunately, they didn't find anything. There was no demon, only so footprints that ran toward the direction Rose told them.
It was weird because they thought there was sothing big in this direction. In the end, the team followed the footprints while adjusting their course to match the nest's location.
The closer they were to the nest, the more they thought this was a trap. All the trails led in the sa direction as if they were moving because of a call from a certain demon.
And the most absurd thing they found was when they arrived at the nest location.
The nest was located in the middle of the woods. They tore down the woods and put the trunks around it to block the wind. anwhile, there was a huge empty space inside with nothing but so branches that seed to be used as a mattress.
But they noticed sothing weird inside this nest.
The nest might be big, but its shape was similar to a circle. And there was actually a big mattress made of branches in the middle of this nest as if it was implying the status of their leader.
The entire group shuddered when they saw this spot because there were supposed to be a few Peak Level Demons inside this nest. And the only one who could be their leader was a higher rank demon. In other words, a Superior Demon.
They couldn't believe there was a Superior Demon in this nest. Even Richard had no confidence in taking a Superior Demon. Only his captain would be able to do it.
Because Richard couldn't decide what they should do, the group gathered to discuss their next plan.
anwhile, the most distracted person out of them was actually Noel. After all, he was aware that Anna was the one the demons chased. And if she was chased by a Superior Demon, it would be over.
