Chapter 158 - Late-night Haunting (2/2)
Rhode shook his head
“The reason why they created so many undead creatures was to expand the hell chasm Obviously, the devils ordered them to capture the victim alive, if not, Christie definitely wouldn’t have lived til now As for keeping her in captivity, there is no need for that In fact, Christie’s previous way of life was al a captive She had nowhere to escape Rather than taking unnecessary actions and attract suspicions fro the current situations Only when the chasm is open, then they would start to capture her for real”
“What a poor child”
After hearing Rhode’s explanation, Marlene looked over to Christie Christie rapped in a thick blanket, she raised her head and stared at the starry sky Her frail appearance
“Since the devils are targeting her… Mr Rhode, the reason you brought her here was to bait theht”
Rhode simply nodded
“If that devil worshi+pper is a villager, then he knows that Christie is under uess that I wouldn’t give her up even if he said ‘I will be offering this girl to the devil as a gift, please show mercy to me’ Not to mention, Christie and I look the saht So, I think he will change hisChristie in the pub to be captured by someone, why not keep her by my side I don’t believe that worshi+pper has the patience to wait Although this is onlytrue”
“I understand what you mean, Mr Rhode”
Marlene went silent for a hts Afterwards, she didn’t say anything but quietly held onto her staff, waiting for the battle to begin
Minutes and seconds passed
The skies slowly turned dark The lights within the village had started to extinguish Soon enough, the serenity of silence becaan to warm up to prevent any mishaps in battle They checked their potions and polished their weapons Even Lize had started to pray softly It was only Anne who’d laid flat on her shi+eld by the ca by her looks, she intended to sleep till azed at the on’s Soul was always colorful But for soht was a little dull Suddenly, a sharp, cold wind blehich caused the flahts became much dimmer than before
“… Ah…”
At this moment, Christie suddenly exclaimed Her eyes snapped wide open with shock as she shot up and looked around in confusion
“What’s wrong?” Marlene frowned and asked
The little girl’s odd behavior attracted the mercenaries’ attention
“… So for irl’s eyes scanned the faraway darkness in fear and spoke softly Her body was started to shi+ver, and her voice stuttered
“… A voice… a voice that I have never heard before… it is so… sinister… makes me uncomfortable…”
“Hu!”
At this moment, Anne suddenly woke and jumped She instantly picked up her shi+eld and observed the surroundings
“Soet ready!!”
Rhode shouted and gave a coot into position and picked up their weapons and potions, observing the surroundings warily The darkness re chill to it Celia also raised her sword, engulfing it with a silver-white flay to concentrate on the tip, es seriously Both her hands were floith holy energy as she charged a spell to its maximum power
“I can sense it, Mr Rhode The evil aura is spreading So!”
At this ht fro in the darkness started to move towards them
