Chapter 473: Chapter 394: The Glory of the Deserters_4

It was too far away.

Then a foot stepped on his back, sending him flying, the cracking sound of breaking bones brought a heavy sense of powerlessness.

After that, he couldn’t even turn around to question the attacker, as his hair was grabbed from the back of his head, and his skull lifted entirely, exposing his throat.

A sharp knife slit his throat.

Without any mercy!

A sense of powerlessness spread throughout his body, and then he died.

"You shouldn’t have lied to me," Fuller muttered to himself, looking at his friend’s body.

He tossed the body into a mound of sand nearby.

"It won’t be until sunrise that someone will know I might be here."

His friend had fulfilled his promise, but it cost him his life.

Fuller turned to leave; to conform to the Undead’s schedule of no rest, meaning 24 hours nonstop, so no Main City would be closed at night; the gates always open, he could easily leave Snake Catcher Fortress. And he had taken money from his friend’s body, though it wasn’t enough to buy a horse.

Only some dry food.

Next, he needed to flee.

But where should he escape to? The entire kingdom was the Duke’s territory. Perhaps the lands of the Griffin Duke to the south would be more suitable, as they were rumored to have bad blood.

"But no matter where, it’s unlikely any would welcome a deserter."

Fuller hated Lind.

He started to wander aimlessly, evading the merchant caravans that passed by. Fuller knew very well that the caravans were filled with the Undead who would crazily pounce on him for the bounty upon recognizing him.

Occasionally, he would purchase something from the surrounding villages, but his money was slowly dwindling, and his hatred for Lind and the Expedition Army grew with each day.

Until one day, in some village, he saw a familiar silhouette.

Night Fiend!

Not the one he knew, but they surely all came from the same place.

With their magical talents, the Night Fiend seemed to live quite well in the village, wearing robes and carrying a Magic Wand, similar to the clothes of those Undead.

And then Fuller remembered a story that the Night Demon Girl, Little Li, had once mentioned.

So, he stole a horse and hurried away, heading once again towards the Gate of Mephisto.

...

The fragile sunlight shimmered in the dew on the sawgrass.

The light treading sound of hooves grew closer, and as the horses raced past the sawgrass, the dew was scattered, allowing the sunlight to burst forth.

Several figures lay prone on the horsebacks, hurrying along.

The wind lifted a corner of their robes, revealing blue skin.

Since leaving the Gate of Mephisto, the Night Demon Girls had been trying to find ways to start a new life; the Abyssal Great Rift had made Twilight Pool a forbidden place they could no longer stay, forcing them to scatter in search of new homes.

But unexpectedly, things were easier than they imagined; the Rand Kingdom did not shun them, and even with their blue skin, they could work with their hands here to earn food.

The outside world was brand new, but it was not yet time for them to stay and enjoy; they needed to return quickly to inform their people of the news.

"Who?!"

There was someone by the roadside, a human.

If it had been before, they would have been cautious and avoided him, but now, having a favorable impression of humans, and even considering living together, the first reaction of the demon girls upon seeing a human was to get closer.

"Are you Night Fiends?" he spoke first, "I’m a friend of Little Li, if you’ve heard of her."

"You’re that human!" The Night Demon Girls clearly knew the story of their kin.

Previously, Little Li had left the cave without permission in search of a "key" and, after being brought back by the elders, had shared her experience.

It was unclear whether the Night Demon Girls were simply kind-hearted, or had truly never heard the story of "deserter Fuller," but Fuller breathed a sigh of relief.

"Didn’t you leave the Gate of Mephisto, and then go to..."

"I work for a noble, a lord," Fuller had gathered a lot of information before taking action, such as the naively young Night Demon Girls praying for a sanctuary, "But I’m short of hands under my command, like wizards, so I thought of you, in case you also happen to be seeking a place to stay."

The faces of the Night Demon Girls lit up with excitement.

"Who is this lord you speak of?"

"A lord, he’s in Goliath, have you heard of it?"

"Of course, the City of Gold!" The Night Demon Girls seemed even more enthralled by the city than the humans.

Regrettably, Fuller had never been there, but that didn’t stop him from continuing to entice them with the city.

Starting anew under the protection of a lord might be an easier way for the Night Fiends to reboot their lives, so they invited Fuller to return with them.

Fuller nodded cheerfully, as this had been his intention all along.

They talked a lot on the way back, about the Night Demon Girl Little Li, and praised each other as rare spellcasting geniuses, favored and protected by the Lady of the Night.

Finally, they returned.

The daylight flickered in the blood-scented wind.

The smiling faces of the Night Demon Girls turned to panic as the smell of blood unsettled them.

And when they rushed into the cave, they found only the corpses of the elders.

Their throats had been cut, in a very skillful manner!

The Night Demon Girls wept with tears streaming down, as magic power surged out of control, but their strength was so mediocre that it barely caused the pebbles to tremble.

"Who did this!"

"I know who it was!" Fuller said, "I once served in the army; this is the work of Lind Armand’s people, he has a group capable of such extremes."

The Night Demon Girls screamed in rage: "I swear to the Lady of the Night, I will have my revenge, and they will forever fall into darkness and despair!"

Fuller stood behind everyone, a smile on his face.

But he still reminded them: "You probably won’t be able to do it with your strength; Lind possesses power like God of the Present World, and he also has many Undead under his command."

"We may not have the power to revenge, but the Lady of the Night can."

The expressions of the Night Demon Girls were resolute, and their eyes showed no reasoning, only fury.

Now, that fury was about to ignite everything, consume everything.

Yes, revenge must be taken this way!
