Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 973: Nemesis

The tall woman looked at the person in front of her speechlessly.

The moment this person appeared, he first killed two Shadow Pursuing Mercenaries who had taken the initiative to pounce on him. Then, he drew his saber out of its sheath and used a saber technique that surpassed Running Thunder to kill the strongest of the Shadow Pursuing Mercenaries. Then, he used an exquisite interweaving saber technique to kill the remaining seven or eight mercenaries as well. The woman could see the raging flames of the other party's saber attack in her eyes.

However, after killing all of them, the corpses were carefully searched and the valuable items on the mercenaries were completely cleaned out, causing the woman's eyelids to twitch.

When Alan finished searching the last corpse, he got quite a few gold coins. As for their equipment, Alan didn't like it. He already had a famous saber like Red King, so why did he need these ordinary sabers and swords? Seeing the woman looking at him with a complicated expression, Alan patted the bag of money that he had plundered from the mercenaries and said, "Everything has a price. They want to kill me, but I kill them in turn. That's the price. As for the money, it's useless on the dead anyway. It would be better if I spent it on their behalf."

"What is your name?" The woman finally couldn't help but ask.

Ellen smiled and said, "Do you have to introduce yourself first when you ask someone for their name?"

Anger flashed through the woman's eyes. She calmed down and said, "My name is Elyse."

"Oh, Miss Elyse." Alan nodded and suddenly waved his hand, "Goodbye."

"What?" The woman did not react. Seeing that Alan was about to move, her suppressed anger erupted again. "You didn't tell me the name!"

Alan turned around and said, "I didn't promise to give you my name just now, did you, Miss Elyse?"

A flame appeared in the eyes of the woman named Elyse. She snorted, "Nobody can tease me."

"If I hadn't acted earlier, you wouldn't have been toyed with, but killed."

"Just based on them?" Elyse chuckled in disdain.

Alan shook his head, not wanting to deal with this proud woman. Seeing that he was about to leave, Elyse suddenly whipped him. Ellen stepped aside with Red King and said angrily, "Don't you know what's good for you. I saved your life for the sake of your attending the Orlando wedding as well. If you mess around like this, be careful of me …"

Elyse snorted, "Careful, what are you going to do? Kill me like those people?"

"That's not the case." Alan laughed dryly, "I'll knock you out at most. I'll tie you up and throw you into the depths of this dark place. There's nothing else there. There are plenty of men there."

Elyse's expression turned ugly and he said coldly, "Do you dare?"

"Why don't you give it a try?"

The woman was speechless. She really didn't dare to challenge the law. After a pause, she changed her tone and said, "Why don't you take me to Sardinia? Once I get there, this crystal will be yours."

She took out the round crystal from her pocket.

Ellen nodded and said, "It's fine to talk like this early in the morning, Miss Elyse. Don't walk outside with thorns all over your body. Who can stand it?"

Elyse sneered, "That sounds good. Aren't you looking at money?"

Alan chuckled and said, "Then you should stay here. Although I love money, I don't bow down to it." After saying that, he wanted to leave. Seeing that he was really going to leave, Elyse became anxious and shouted, "Hey, don't go. Alright, take it as if I said something wrong just now."

"You were wrong." Alan said without turning his head.

"Alright then, I was wrong."

"Alright."

"Then take me to Sardinia?"

"I didn't agree."

"What exactly do you want?"

"I should be the one asking you this. Didn't anyone teach you how to do something wrong?"

Elyse gritted his teeth and stamped his foot with hatred, "Sorry, okay?"

"What? Louder, I can't hear you?"

"I'm sorry!" Elyse opened his throat and shouted, his voice echoing through the forest.

Alan turned around and smiled, "That's more like it. Follow me, Miss Elyse."

Elyse snorted and buckled his whip to his waist, turning it into a belt. She held back her anger, but helplessly followed behind Alan. There was no other way. Who told her that she didn't know the way? No one was allowed to follow her when she left the house. Originally, he wanted to walk around freely by himself, but how could he have imagined that this world would be so sinister?

Not long after the two of them left, a hundred meters away from the Black Wood Tree where Alan had been hiding, a series of suppressed laughter rang out. At the end of the laughter, someone cried out in alarm. Then, someone jumped down from the top of the tree and pointed at it and said angrily, "What are you doing, you old woman!"

"Who are you calling an old woman, Wales!" A woman's voice sounded from the crown of the tree. Then, a red shadow fell, but it was a woman wearing a red dress. The woman was indeed not young anymore, but she was in good condition and still had a charm. Especially her plump chest, which almost rushed out of her collar. At this moment, as she angrily rebuked, her chest became even more turbulent, truly spectacular.

The one who jumped down from the tree was an old man with gray hair. He wore a very formal dress and looked like a butler of a large clan. He glared at the scenery on the woman's chest and curled his lips. "Even if you don't admit it, even if you use Origin Energy to delay your aging, the truth is right there. Sarah, you can deceive others, can you deceive yourself?"

The woman rolled her eyes at him and said, "What do you know? There's nothing more important to a woman than keeping time. You, on the other hand, have time to laugh there and don't get out to help the young miss. Wells, tell me what your intentions are!"

"What intentions?" The old man tidied up his wrinkled collar and said, "Loyalty, of course." Besides, I also made a move. I didn't see the tree branch beneath that brat's feet shattered. Look at how sharp that brat's knife is. We can get rid of that idiot in three or two strikes. Shouldn't we not have to make a move? Just those idiots, they make me feel dirty. Besides, if Miss finds out that the two of us are hanging behind her all the way back and aren't furious after we return, do you still want to hear about it? "

"Yes," the woman said. Suddenly, the atmosphere stifled. The woman's eyes exploded with lightning and she said, "Wales, who did you just call old?"

"Why don't you say that your women are the most petty? Young miss is like that, so are you." The old man squinted his eyes and smiled, "But things are getting more and more interesting now. Look who Miss apologized to when she was so big, but she had to apologize to that little ghost just now. I think this kid is interesting. He is simply Miss's nemesis."

"Bullshit, I think that kid is simply courting death." The woman snorted, "If he dares to make things difficult for Miss again, see if I don't tear him apart!"

"Don't worry, I will stop you." The old man said impolitely.

The two of them glared at each other. The woman's figure flashed and disappeared from where she was, leaving behind only one sentence: "I'll just look at Miss. You old man should scram back."

The old man chuckled, "Look at Miss, I can't look at you, my dear Miss Saram."

He walked slowly, but he saw that although his movements were slow, they were not slow at all. In just a few breaths, they had already disappeared without a trace.

Fares clasped his fingers and flicked the dark green spear in his hand. He had already dismounted from his horse and stood by the side of the road waiting. Alan had been gone for a while and still hadn't come back. Fares wasn't worried. With the aura Allen had unleashed earlier, only a powerhouse of Hoey's level would be able to kill him, and he would have to risk his life. Otherwise, even if Alan was defeated, he should still be able to escape.

Just ten minutes ago, Fares sensed an imposing aura erupting from the depths of the forest. Judging from the imposing aura, it should be Alan. The momentum had only appeared for a very short period of time, so it seemed that the battle was over. If nothing unexpected happens, Alan should be back soon. Fares looked at the group of old bandits beside him. These so-called dark spear old bandits simply moved their butts and sat down on the side of the black tree beside the road.

Previously, when they knew that Allen's route was going to pass through the Land of Darkness, Fares and Reggie had spoken out against it. After all, they did not have to pass through the Land of Darkness before heading to Sardinia. But Alan and Edward sounded as if they were going to pierce through the darkness and subdue the bandits in this ferocious land. If those fellows were all like soft persimmons like the Dark Spear, they would be pinched. However, Fares knew that there were a few large bandit groups in the Dark Lands that were unwilling to provoke even the top three mercenary groups of Sardinia, not to mention that these bandit groups had an unclear relationship with some of the great figures of the empire.

How could it be so easy to pierce through the land of darkness?

At this moment, Fares felt something in his heart. He looked up and saw Alan walk out of the forest with his saber in his hand. Fares smiled slightly. His smile suddenly stiffened, only to see a tall woman following behind Alan. That woman was gorgeous but not demonic. On the contrary, because of the arrogance in her eyebrows, she carried an extremely rare heroic aura from an ordinary woman. More importantly, Fares had seen this woman before.

The moment he attacked in the small building that day, he was struck by a crystal. This woman left a deep impression on the Guild Leader. However, Fares did not understand why Alan had brought such a woman back after walking around the Black Wood Forest.

Seeing Alan return, Birick stood up nervously. The old man was also stunned when he saw the heroic Elyse. Then, he looked at Abel beside him, unable to figure out the situation for an old man and a young man. Alan patted his horse and said, "I'll take your place for the time being." "This is Miss Elyse," he said to Fares. "Something happened to her. She has to come with us."

Then he smiled and said to Rick, "Please lead the way, old man."

"Are you really going?" Berek moaned.
