Chapter 224 Druid (2/2)

Hearing this sound, Shauna and Kavos's expressions immediately changed.

It was just as they guessed. Soon, they saw a layer of gray-black ”fog” coming from the forest. But none of them actually thought of it as mist because they quickly saw through their true appearance. It was a large group of wasps!!

Holy spirit, please protect us…

Seeing the group of wasps, the mercenaries subconsciously held their breath. They were holding the burning tree branches while clenching their teeth, desperately trying to drive away the wasps that were getting near them. However, they knew deep down that their actions were meaningless.

If their enemy was a beast, then their method might somehow work, but now they were facing a group of small insects. What to do?

Soon, the mercenaries no longer had to think about that question anymore.

”A bunch of fools.”

Seeing the mercenaries who were trying to block the wasps' attack, Gillian frowned. She and Lapis were also surrounded by the wasps. However, the wasps weren't able to break through Gillian's fire shield. Seeing those wasps clearly under the firelight was definitely not a fascinating scene.

”Then, let's end it here. I'm sorry, I'm not going to play with you guys anymore.”

Having said that, Gillian clapped her hands.

The fire burned even more violently.

A fire dragon suddenly appeared from the fire shield and roared toward the mercenaries who were surrounded. The mighty fire dragon moved like a surging wave and quickly filled the entire camp. Soon, those wasps disappeared under the boiling air and high temperatures.

”Haa…”

The mercenaries finally felt relieved. But when they looked around, they finally noticed something.

Where was Rhode?

The attack failed.

Hidden in the depths of the forest, a man wearing a camo cloak looked at the bright camp. He frowned as he saw the mercenaries who seemed harmless. He thought that the mercenaries would be easy to deal with. But now it seemed that he was wrong. Especially the girl with fox ears and tail—her power to manipulate fire even made him tremble. He was sure that she was not using any spell. Judging from her appearance, it seemed that the fire was a part of her, blending with her in harmony.

Why did such an existence exist in that corrupted and contaminated world?

He frowned and didn't know what to do. He originally thought that he had the upper hands, but now the situation didn't go as planned. Thinking until here he couldn't help but bite his lips. It seemed this time, he was too anxious. After seeing the Oriole, he became a little bit nervous. After this attack, the mercenaries would definitely be more prepared. It would be difficult to attack them again.

He had no other choice; now, the only thing he could do was retreat.

Thinking until here, he turned around, planning to leave. But he immediately stopped after taking a step.

At this moment, Rhode was already leisurely standing before him, watching him.

”Is your business finally done, sir? So now, can you answer my questions? Seeing your passionate hospitality toward us, I think I must also do something in return.”

Rhode said expressionlessly, while gently swinging the sword in his hand.

The bright red sword's light immediately pierced the darkness.
