Chapter 858: After Modification: Chapter 835 Confirming the Situation
“At least we can confirm that the immortality the Lich promised to his followers is just a lie.” Lancelot turned his head to look at the gang mbers, “Do you want to co over and check again?”
“No, no, we understand just by the sll.” The few n replied in trepidation, “Well, gentlen, you carry on with your work; we won’t disturb you…”
As they spoke, they were about to walk out but were suddenly stopped by Lancelot’s voice.
“Wait a minute.” He pointed to the Orc’s corpse on the bed, “Take care of your boss first.”
“Find a place to bury him or just burn him.” Little Isha added, “Olga’s soul has already gone to the Lord of the Dead, she won’t be revived at midnight anymore.”
Despite their reluctance, the gang mbers knew who was in charge. They awkwardly carried the Orc’s corpse out.
“Now, back to our previous conversation…” Lancelot returned his gaze to the freshly created corpse, “What does this an? Does Peyton Derrick’s mastery in magic surpass our expectations?”
“Honestly, I don’t know.” Kalalin shook his head, “To , this corpse’s physiological features are more like a demon rather than an undead…”
“Could it be that Peyton has studied demonology?” Alamir asked curiously, “Could he have a Scroll of Darkness?”
“Uh, probably not. Reading alone wouldn’t reach this level; extensive experints are required…” Kalalin turned to look at Danks, who was huddling in the corner, as far as possible from the corpse, “Has there ever been a demon outbreak on this land?”
“Never, except…” The Baggins hesitated, glancing at Lancelot, “… the big guy in Raventown before.”
“Then there haven’t been.” Kalalin shook his head, “Maybe Peyton truly is a genius…”
At this mont, everyone suddenly heard a piercing crow call, and their faces all changed. It was the alarm signal from their Raven companion stationed outside, indicating a likely enemy approach.
“Damn it, it must be those guys!” Bruto jumped up in fury, “Don’t let see them again!”
Lancelot’s heart sank slightly. He thought the earlier display should have been intimidating enough; did he overestimate himself?
However, when they charged out of the barn nacingly, they saw an unexpectedly familiar figure.
“Hi, everyone.” A fully ard Succubus descended from the air, happily waving at them, “It’s great to see you all safe and sound.”
“Letisha? What are you doing here?” Lancelot walked up to the Succubus Maid, “Could it be… Tijana sent you?”
“Lancelot Sir, did you cast so spell on our lady?” Letisha gave a charming smile, “It’s been just a few days without hearing from you, and Lady Tijana is like a lost soul, fretting daily whether you’re dead or srized by so wild vixen…”
“Uh…” Lancelot scratched his head awkwardly, “She has too little confidence in herself.”
“The first man is like that, later it won’t be.” The Succubus shrugged, despite wearing full armor, she still made Danks, beside her, stare blankly, “Anyway, I’ve been sent over to check on you… Seeing you alive and without other won around, I’m relieved.”
“Hmm? So you have a way to contact the outside world?”
“No, but I can get out.”
“How?”
“Die out.” Letisha grinned, “Don’t forget I’m a demon, after being killed on another plane, I can revive in the Abyss. Plus, I was born in Twin Bridges Town, so I can imdiately report back to Lady Tijana upon revival. She instructed that if anything happens to you, report back right away. Since you’re fine, I’m not in a hurry to leave. It took a lot of effort to get out; I should have so fun… Where’s the nearest town?”
“That direction, a half-hour flight…” Lancelot pointed towards Chadegory, “But in your current appearance…”
“Don’t worry, all Succubi are masters of transformation.” Letisha’s figure twisted, turning into a golden-haired Elf woman, with her armor becoming translucent veils, “How about this?”
“I’m certain, no one can refuse you.”
“Hahaha, you flatter , Sir. Every male creature in this demiplane owes you a thank you.” The Succubus twisted her form back to her original appearance, “I’m off~ Ah, right… That man over there… Kalalin, right?”
“Good day, Miss Letisha, any orders?”
“I rember you’re a Mage… You already know my na, so you should be able to summon , right?”
“Of course.” Kalalin nodded, “When do you need to do that?”
“When you’re in big trouble you can’t handle.” Letisha turned to Lancelot, “If I don’t show up with you in Twin Bridges Town, a certain silly girl will co over herself… You understand, right?”
“Understood.” Lancelot nodded, “Thank you, Letisha.”
“The person you should thank is not , and just saying isn’t enough… Saying it isn’t enough.” The Succubus flapped her wings, flying toward the direction Lancelot pointed, “Bye~~~”
“How does it feel?” Alamir walked up to Lancelot, staring at the Succubus’s departing figure with him, “Having soone care about you is nice, right?”
Lancelot didn’t reply but couldn’t help but smile.
“Ahem, guys, shouldn’t we be leaving?” Danks hesitantly spoke up from the side, “Old Blackbird is still waiting…”
“Yes, we’re a bit delayed.” Lancelot took out a black feather from his pocket, “Lead the way.”
————————————————————
The companions transford back into a flock of black Ravens, flying through the freezing cold wind. To avoid exposure, they flew low, not even a hundred feet from the ground. According to the Ravens, if they flew up to around six thousand feet, the dense fog would beco cold and hard like ice, just like the mist wall at the Demon’s Domain border.
First, they flew straight in a certain direction for a while, then changed direction near the ruins forrly known as Witches’ Forest, skirting along the periter— the reason was obvious, the forest was teeming with undead, and approaching that area was unsafe. For so unknown reason, Peyton Derrick had heavily fortified this place, preventing any breathing creature from entering this territory that once belonged to the Lich’s nesis.
But as they were flying, Lancelot suddenly noticed sothing unusual—a convoy escorted by several Death Knights was erging from within the forest, seemingly heading toward the edge of the Demon’s Domain.
