Chapter 223 – You Just Stay There and Watch (2/2)

One of the smaller Lesser Devils already caught up to her and had its arms raised ready to give her a fatal blow.

Even though Elena’s perception skill clearly showed its path of attack, and she just had to take a couple of steps forward to easily dodge it, she couldn’t control her body due to the intense headache. The rebound was still affecting her and her vision became blurry, it was already a miracle that she could remain standing.

“Eh?”

She thought that she was already dead but she suddenly felt her head clear up and the effect of the rebound lessened!

What was going on?

She couldn’t worry about the reason and quickly took a step forwards, but that wasn’t enough to evade the attack so she was forced to use her special move!

Demon King Battle Technique — roll!

Elena lowered her head and used the heavy mass of her upper body and fell straight forward.

The fatal blow brushed right over top her and she fell towards the floor, curled up and rolled away.

“Uh… I say Elena, even if you miss me, you don’t have to welcome me like this, you know?”

She heard a familiar voice next to her.

She looked up and understood why her headache lessened.

Who else could it be but Lin Xiao?

“Tsk…”

Elena clenched her teeth and climbed up without minding the cuts and scrapes on her arms and legs. She brushed off the mud on her skirt and lifted the fabric that was sliding down her chest and stared at the Lesser Devils that came out of the remains, completely ignoring Lin Xiao.

Where was the thanks? The surprise? The tears of joy? Why was there no reaction?

“Hey, are you deaf or blind? Do you not recognize me?” Lin Xiao blinked and didn’t understand why Elena was acting like that.

How come Shen DaiYing’s reactions were completely different to hers?

Since she was being chased, shouldn’t she be moved to see him.

“Elena, you…”

“Scram.”

“Hah?” Lin Xiao didn’t hear clearly.

“I told you to scram!”

This time he heard her clearly, but he didn’t know how to respond.

“You’re not leaving? Fine.” Elena coldly snorted and used her hands to pinch her trembling legs and walked towards that group of monsters running out of the remains.

“Do you think I need your help? Hmph, what a joke! I’m the Demon King, do you think I need you to take care of these small fry?”

Elena took a deep breath and stubbornly used her fingers to wipe some blood off her arm and spread it onto her lips.

“Just stay there and watch!”
