Chapter 214 - Not just anyone (2/2)

”You!” Eve said as she pointed at Gary. ”What are you doing here?”

”I was going to ask you the same thing.”

”You guys already know each other. That's great” Lilly said smiling.

Despite the dangers of the quest, the Little pond guild had decided to accept because their guild was formed mainly of Archers. Their roles weren't on the front line. If anything was to happen they were confident in their escape.

As Eve looked at the party in front of her one by one, she couldn't help but notice they were surrounded by incredible people.

”Hey, did you see who's here,” Lilly whispered to Mike. ”That's Ark the famous adventurer from Fallen angel and I didn't realise the Mayor's daughter was involved in this, no wonder the payment was so high.”

”Yes.” Mike said, ”It seems this quest might be more important than we first thought, even those two extremely strong adventures are here and that giant man doesn't seem weak either.”

”Do you think it's true then about the Shadow plague being involved?” Eve asked.

But before Mike could answer. Lilly had noticed the two whispering.

”I suppose it's fair that you only know what you have gotten yourselves into.” Lilly said, ”After hearing what this quest entails you are to make a decision if you wish to continue you or not.”

Mike and Eve nodded.

”The quest stated this is an escort mission.” Lilly explained. ”but it is not simple, we are to escort a man to face a duel with a Demon. Although the Duel is meant to take place one on one, we cannot guarantee that will happen. There is a chance of an ambush. So do you still wish to join us?”

Demons were well known between common folk but only as a myth, not many had seen a man possessed by a God or a Spirit of sorts and Eve and Mike had heard of the rumours of the Demon killing a C Rank adventurer which made them hesitate a little.

But when Eve and Mike looked at Jack and Gary, they felt like with these two they could do anything.

”We accept.” Mike said, ”I assume one of you will be duelling the demon man?” Mike said as he looked at Jack, Gary and Ark.

”Actually, the person who will be fighting isn't here yet.” Gary said, ”I completely forgot to message him.”

Gary then sent a message to Ray and after waiting for 30 seconds, a magical circle next to Gary appeared. It started to glow bright white and slowly a human figure started to form, until Ray appeared.

”What the, it's just a boy,” Eve said, expecting some sought of giant of a man like Lenny or Jack.

”Careful what you say about him.” Jack said, ”That boy is our Boss.”
