Chapter 521 - The Shadow Warriors
GDK 521: The Shadow Warriors
Han Shuo suddenly woke from his contemplation and said with a somewhat awkward smile, “Don’t worry, I’m only interested in pretty girls like Hemanna and Sylph, I just had something on my mind earlier.
Nambrough heaved a sigh of relief and laughed. “Thank you for your help.”
“No need for such formalities, we haven’t broken out from the siege yet, have we?” Han Shuo turned back to look at the forces of Venomfang Castle pursuing him closely, and upon seeing some of the abyssal creatures at the perimeters of Shero regiment being slaughtered helplessly, he had to withdraw his skeletal staff and chant more incantations. Bone spears and acid bogs appeared one after the other, creating a blockade in front of the Triops pursuers.
He did not summon his sea of undead armies, nor did he tried to reverse the situation using demonic arts. All he did was exactly what he said earlier and held back the enemy for the Shero regiment.
“Very well. Hemanna, Sylph, the two of you will help our friend here. Take another hundred guards to bring up the rear, I’ll take charge of breaking out the encirclement,” Nambrough gave the order and, without waiting for Hemanna and Sylph to say another word, he flew directly to the battlefront. His arms weaved around like pythons, and wisps of dark smoke came shooting out from within, forcing the enemies from the Venomfang Castle who stood in his way to retreat.
Han Shuo was at the back, with the two pretty alien girls Hemanna and Sylph at his sides. The two young ladies stuck close to Han Shuo, working together with him to kill all their pursuers without mercy.
Blood splattered and severed limbs flew all around. The fight became even more violent with Han Shuo’s involvement. Each time he attacked, he would take the lives of several abyssal creatures at once. With the Demonic Blades in his two hands, HS wove a web of demonic light and sent them falling onto abyssal creatures. All those covered by it were chopped into bits.
The two beautiful girls at his sides, Hemanna and Sylph, kept sneaking glances at Han Shuo while they assisted him. Han Shuo at that moment became extremely attractive in their eyes.
Han Shuo looked pleased in the midst of the fierce battle, his attacks brutal and ruthless. Having two such lovely ladies at his side put him in an excellent mood, and he traded coy glances with the girls as frequently as he could.
“I learned this from a high-level venomfang demon of Venomfang Castle I defeated and interrogated a few days ago. It can’t be wrong!” Hemanna looked deeply troubled, as though she was also very concerned for War Demon Valley’s safety. It seemed like these Shadow Warriors under demon king Golander’s command were extremely frightening to them.
“If that’s the case, then we have to return to War Demon Valley as soon as possible. I must pass this news on to Lord Crosius. The Shadow Warriors are not only incredibly powerful, but every one of them is a demon of the most depraved order. If they have come to Venomfang Castle, then this time our War Demon Valley will be facing some real trouble.” Nambrough’s face was just as grave, even somewhat fearful. It was evident that demon king Golander’s Shadow Warriors had a reputation which preceded them.
“Yes, we’d best report to Lord Crosius as soon as possible. If it really is the Shadow Warriors, we have to prepare ourselves. At the very least, Crosius needs to report this to Black Jade City,” Hemanna’s voice was heavy as she nodded.
Black Jade City was where the great demon king Manticole lived, which Han Shuo was well aware of. Hemanna’s words made it evident that she was not optimistic about the current strength of War Demon Valley, and hoped that Crosius could ask for assistance from his master Manticole.
“If it really is the Shadow Warriors, I’m afraid we may be too late!” Nambrough sighed, and then quickly added, “Head back to the valley at the fastest speed, I must report this to Lord Crosius immediately.”
