After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King
Chapter 200 - 68: Beware of Forest Fires

Chapter 200: Chapter 68: Beware of Forest Fires

Perhaps, Yila should have guessed long ago... why something as dangerous as "corruption" would only appear in the Silver Moon Tree Court, which was supposed to be the most sacred and closest to the world’s source.

As for sayings like "Under my control, the whole world will strive for your dreams," Yila wouldn’t believe it at all... he didn’t think this so-called god of chaos had that close a relationship with him.

From start to finish, Yila never asked why the other party treated him so well.

That was something unnecessary to ask.

"..."

The stars in the sky were beautiful, and the moon was very bright, illuminating the path back to the Silver Moon Tree Royal Court Tree beautifully... it seemed he had stayed here for an entire day.

*Go back today and revisit the spell on his neck tomorrow.*

"Tipcapu, take me back to the Silver Moon Tree Court."

Yila opened the communication link with Tipcapu and said this.

"Tipcapu: Hmm? Yes, Lord Yila, you haven’t slept yet this late?"

"Yila: I’m about to sleep."

"Tipcapu: Please take care of your health, Lord Yila... Void Wing Pillar·Tipcapu·Wing Spread."

"..."

After waiting for a while, Yila, with wings on his back, found that his position had not changed at all. Just as he was about to ask something, he sensed Tipcapu’s puzzled voice—

"Tipcapu: Lord Yila, I can’t enter the Void Realm... has the Silver Moon Tree Court set a Dimension Anchor?"

The Silver Moon Tree Royal Court definitely didn’t have a Dimension Anchor, because there were many traveling mages among the elves. If the spell "Dimension Anchor" were set, it would be very troublesome for traveling mages to return home.

The Empress’ bedroom had a Dimension Anchor, but other places... would generally not consider the possibility that assassins who had mastered Plane Travel had ever visited the Silver Moon Tree Court.

So, the anchored plane... was "here," right?

As soon as Yila realized this, he felt something, flapped his wings suddenly, and left the place. Almost a second later, a scorching fire arrow exploded where he had just been standing.

*Attacked... how long had it been since he was last attacked?* Yila wondered as he looked up at the attacker. They were humanoid figures in hoods with fiery red patterns, standing on a distant platform... judging by the mana, they were undoubtedly human.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

Those people didn’t say much, just conjured countless fireballs behind them... these fireballs were quite potent and might have reached the level of great mages. If there were enough of them, they could indeed pile up enough to kill an ordinary legend.

"Tipcapu: It’s an expert!"

Tipcapu, who could see what Yila saw, said this.

Yes, the other party might not be unknown... but Yila didn’t remember when he had become enemies with them. In his mind, he responded to Tipcapu: "The level is decent, let me test it out."

"Friends... or enemies, what does it mean to besiege me at the World Tree? I don’t think I’ve offended you, right? Gentlemen, I don’t want to engage in meaningless battles, sincerely!"

Yila said this as he conjured the whip of "Void Wing Pillar" belonging to Tipcapu, smashing the incoming fire Bursts from a distance... the other party seemed not to intend to respond.

But this did not prevent Yila from finishing his words.

"If you are jealous of my favor with Cassiopeia, there’s no need. The reason for our popularity comes from our contributions to the Silver Moon Tree Court. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yila said this while fighting the dozen people, still looking calm. He saw that the other party seemed entirely unwilling to negotiate and sighed helplessly.

*Sometimes, getting caught in conspiracies is troublesome... if you don’t even know who the enemy is, you can’t use all your strength. It’s not possible to just "beat them all up," is it?*

Yila would rather deal with another legend, or even three or four legends, than see these dozen or so half-step legendary great mages... who were keeping silent like a sealed gourd.

"Since you insist on this, then... let us fight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, huge crimson wings suddenly spread behind Yila, the enormous wind pressure interrupting the mages’ long-chanting spells. Almost simultaneously, Yila’s figure disappeared from the spot...

Almost simultaneously, the fire elemental summons, which were just conjured to buy time for the mages’ chanting, were shattered mid-air by a rapidly passing red shadow, disappearing immediately,

Of course, it wasn’t truly simultaneous, just that the speed was so fast that the explosions and shatterings overlapped, merging into one sound... but the heat didn’t spread much.

The surrounding air and breeze remained cool as Yila consciously controlled the temperature... the area was full of trees and plants, and it wouldn’t be good to accidentally ignite the surroundings.

In the next instant, the crimson shadow darted into the crowd... it happened so quickly that in the blink of an eye, the dozen people turned into a pile of ashes dispersed by the wind.

With the death of the Dimension Anchor caster, the surrounding space returned to normal.

"Tipcapu: So fast... I didn’t even react."

Tipcapu said this, having planned to use his part of the mana in Void Wing Pillar to help in the fight but never found the right opportunity.

Yila kept a survivor, gripping the last caster’s neck, intending for Tipcapu to take him back to the Demon King Territory to find Vera or another Witch Demon to extract this person’s soul and see what was going on.

However, the captured person had already given up struggling.

"Zzzzz~"

A bright light started to emit from the human’s mouth, nose, eyes, and ears. This situation was immediately recognizable, but Yila didn’t bother throwing him into the sky to prevent self-detonation from killing himself.

"Tipcapu: Lord Yila! He’s going to self-detonate!"

"Yila: I see it."

Yila replied, simply wrapping the person’s entire body in the power of the Crimson Dragon, as if enclosing him in a crimson bulletproof glass protection shield, just like he had protected the elf girl before. But this protection worked both ways.

"Puff~"

Through the power of the Crimson Dragon, the individual only produced a sound like a popped cork before exploding into fragments of hot flesh inside the protection shield, which a disgusted Yila immediately burned into ashes.

*These ashes could water flowers, a good fertilizer.*

"..."

"Alas... in the end, I still know nothing, why does it always end like this recently?"

*Yila sighed... he would rather face a direct conflict than be left in the dark like this.*
