Chapter 158: Chapter 27 Escaping to the Blood Realm

"Ah, not good, not good at all~"

Wenresa evaluated, a kindly smile appearing on her face as she said, "This time, Yila’s heart really took a hard hit. He might be the most vulnerable to such genuine expressions of ’I want to help you achieve your dream.’"

Beside her, the human woman cupped her chin, observing Wenresa Iluvita’s expression, and commented, "Your current expression really fits your ’great-aunt’ status~"

"..."

Wenresa: "..."

Seeing the clearly unhappy look on Wenresa’s face, the human woman quickly yielded and pleaded half-heartedly, "Ah, I was wrong... But, are you really doing Cassiopeia justice by just watching the show here?"

Even though her junior clearly liked Yila, he was now clearly moved by someone else. Yet here Wenresa was, showing an aunt’s smile. Which side was she really on anyway?

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Wenresa asked, then she realized something. Pointing in the direction of Yila far below, she said, "You mean that? What else can I do but watch the show?"

Wenresa, looking at the pondering human woman, shook her head helplessly and said, "Do you expect me to go up and say, ’Yila, Yila, don’t like Satan Ye, like Cassiopeia instead?’"

The human woman awkwardly shook her head, indicating that wasn’t what she meant.

"Love is not such a simple thing."

Wenresa Iluvita (still single) patted the shoulder of the human woman (still unmarried), with a look of having seen everything, and said, "Cassiopeia likes Yila, so Yila must like her back... how can it be like that?"

"Feelings are very complicated. If you hope your efforts can always be reciprocated by shouting ’I like you so much, why don’t you like me?’, then love will only lead to disappointment... it is not something that guarantees returns."

Wenresa Iluvita (still single), speaking slowly, looked like a true master of emotions.

"Oh! Very insightful! Just like I used to be!"

The human woman (who only held hands with her deceased boyfriend, still unmarried) exclaimed.

"Hmph, of course, don’t underestimate the grand emotional history that comes with an Elf’s long lifespan!"

Wenresa (still single) said, nodding in agreement.

...

Others (with varying degrees of love history): "..."

"I don’t understand, Lord Monarch... why do we have to hide in the Blood Realm?"

In the dark castle, a pale-skinned man in a suit said this, staring fanatically at the blood orb in the middle of the hall... The blood orb continuously spun on the small Blood Pond, with the surrounding blood dancing around with its rotation.

All around were Blood Clan members standing respectfully facing the blood orb.

The blood orb, referred to as "Lord Monarch," merely bubbled without providing a direct answer.

The lead Blood Clan member in suit grew anxious. He took a step forward, spreading his arms and said, "When you contacted us, you said the Blood Realm Lord and the vast number of their kin were enough to overthrow the Demon King Territory, but now you are saying..."

"That we should go to the Blood Realm to lay low?"

For the seemingly confused Blood Clan member in the suit, a vague voice, indistinguishable between male and female, finally came from the blood orb: "The Main Plane ultimately does not belong to us. We do not need to seek food nor harbor any greed."

In other words: we’re not going.

"We have no reason to traverse from plane to plane, entering the Main Plane to fight your enemies. Even if we are of the same clan, any Blood Realm Lord would think the same."

In other words: why should we risk our lives for you?

"..."

The Blood Clan member in the suit opened his mouth, looking around at his fellow clan members gathered in the hall... But the Demon King Territory issued an ultimatum a few days ago; soon Satan Ye, the Demon King’s army, and "Yila" would be coming to kill them, right?

Thinking of Yila, the Blood Clan member’s body couldn’t help but tremble. He asked, suppressing his fear, "Lord Monarch, perhaps there is a more refined and less humiliating solution."

Moving from the Main Plane to the Blood Realm to lay low was certainly feasible, and they could return anytime, but it seemed really frustrating. A better solution would be ideal.

However, the blood orb was clearly not having it. An impatient voice came from it: "Perhaps, but it would not be as convenient and risk-free. Yes or no, it’s your choice."

In other words: come if you want, if not, get lost.

"..."

In the end, out of fear of a creature named "Yila Elkaras," these Blood Clan members, looking at each other, ultimately made a collective decision.

What a joke, who would want to stay in the Main Material Plane and face Yila? Only someone out of their mind would do that. The Demon King Territory must be crazy to trust Yila to assist them.

If it was a trick, if that monster betrayed them at some moment, the entire Demon King Territory would be instantly devastated. That’s precisely why! That’s precisely why!

This is why jokers like Satan Ye were unfit to be kings!

"We understand. So, Lord Monarch, please open the gate to the Blood Realm!"

The suited Blood Clan member said, and with his voice, the blood orb twisted and rotated, transforming into a pale red translucent gate made of thin blood.

The Blood Clan members began to pass through the gate one by one. Strangely... as they crossed the gate, their bodies vanished into thin air, as if devoured by the thin barrier.

However, this also signified their escape... Sometimes, fleeing is not an action of cowardice. Knowing that you cannot win, you shouldn’t fight. The Gorgons would certainly agree with this.

They would absolutely lose; they would be completely annihilated. Their cries and pleas would be drowned by the crackling of flames...

So they had to escape.

——————————

Blood Realm Lord: They finally arrived. Quickly close the Blood Realm’s gate and erase all traces. Reconstruction can be troublesome... if Yila reaches the Blood Realm, it’ll be a problem.

Blood Realm Lord: What a joke. These little wretches still think they can drag us into the mess. Do they really think that just because we’ve stayed in the Blood Realm, we don’t know Yila? Just because they can’t beat him, doesn’t mean we can; we share the same source of power.
