Chapter 158: Coming across humans (1/2)
”Roar!”
”Gah!”
”Ahh!”
As he looked over in the direction of the roars that sounded near him, a gust of wind carrying the fragrance of blood blew against his face, making him realize that a fight to the death was happening near him.
He moved his face away, ignoring it as he had no intention of wasting his time in this place, and then he continued on his path, charging towards the lush valley at a distance.
”Master, wait a moment,” suddenly, the horrifying mandrake asked him to come to a halt.
Though when It said those words, he was in mid-air. However, as things sounded urgent, he took a plunge and landed on top of a tree.
”You better have a good reason for asking me to stop,” Elliot said, a threatening look vivid in his eyes.
”I sense some humans fighting against a pack of nightmare beasts!” While saying those words, the horrifying mandrake came out of his shirt and looked over in a particular direction. Its glare was icy cold as if it had seen its worst enemies.
Elliot, too, glanced in the same direction. His sight and hearing were a lot stronger than magicians in the channel opening stage, and thus, he managed to grasp a lot of things even in the deep darkness of the night.
He saw nine people fighting 4-meter tall and 2-meter wide panthers in a clearing not too far ahead. The nine of them had wounds on many parts of their bodies, and their clothes were also in tatters, making them appear quite miserable.
As luck would have it, one of them was Oliver Charlotte, and the two beside him were magicians from the Regis Family!
He lost all intentions of helping them out the moment he saw that three of them were people he didn't like at all.
”Master, are we not going to help them?” His slave asked.
Instead of answering him, Elliot raised a question of his own. ”You want to help those humans? Is that some kind of joke?”
”Not really,”
”Do you have some kind of grudge with the nightmare panthers?” He said, looking at it with eyes narrowed in suspicions.
The horrifying nightmare nodded its head, signifying that its master had hit the mark!
”Oh, tell me about it,” Elliot said, a curious look on his face.
”They once attacked me, severely harming me. It took me a hundred years to recover from those wounds. Honestly, if you kill them, I will serve you with all my heart.” It said, revealing the reason why it wanted them dead and why it hated them so much.
Elliot raised his hand, expressing that he would take action later.
”Let them exhaust and wound each other to the brink of death. I will kill whoever remains alive.” Elliot said, sitting down on the tree and looking at how the humans desperately fended off the vicious beasts, again and again, occasionally injuring them in the process.
The only thing he was missing right now were honestly popcorns.
Furthermore, since he had nothing to keep his mouth busy, he decided to make fun of others.
