Chapter 1087 - Styx Brigade (2/2)

“These lowly…”

“Shut up.”

The ferryman interrupted the demon’s provocation harshly. He clutched the pole and stood in a slanting position. Under the filthy, ugly hood, Rhode’s group sensed a dark, sinister, and ice-cold stare.

“Greetings, dear ferryman.”

As Rhode’s spokesperson, Stefania casually stepped forward and greeted him with a friendly smile. After all, she had to get things done after getting paid by Rhode.

“You are the ones who requested to board the ferry?”

The ferryman let out a cough upon hearing Stefania’s greetings. Then, Stefania nodded with a smile.

“That’s right, ferryman. My companions and I are heading to the Rift Plain, which is why we need your help. If you can bring us to the Rift Plain through Casselly in the shortest time possible, we will give you a huge, generous remuneration for your efforts…” Stefania said as she extended her hand to reach out for a bright soul gem from the bag of coins. The top-quality purity of the gem instantly caused an uproar in the group of demons on the ferry.

“Your reward sure is generous.”

The ferryman seemed impressed, but the tone of his voice didn’t waver at all as though it were just a piece of rock that Stefania laid out before it.

“But my apologies. There isn’t enough space on the ferry. I can only take in four more passengers.”

“Heh, heh…”

The group of demons on the ferry giggled complacently. They whispered into each other’s ears, before turning to the group and bursting into laughter.

“It’s fine, there is lots of space here. Those women won’t take up much space anyway, since they can sit on us… hahahahaha…”

No one responded to the demons’ teases, but Cheryl curled up in uncertainty. Rhode didn’t even look at them once. If one took notice, one would discover that Rhode had moved his fingers slightly, where two cards flashed abruptly and disappeared into thin air.

At the same time, the irritable laughter came to an end.

In the blink of an eye, two petite figures in white cloaks flitted across the air like ghosts. Their razor-sharp blades penetrated the demons’ hearts and tore apart their throats mercilessly. In an instant, before a dozen of demons seated on the ferry reacted, their flame of life extinguished completely without any warning. Shortly after, an ice-cold storm rose abruptly, flinging their massive corpses into the river. The seemingly crowded ferry suddenly became empty.

At this moment, Canary laid down her palm, while Gracier and Madaras who had sneaked onto the ferry let out a string of crisp, bell-like giggles, before hiding into the shadows. Upon witnessing this scene, Stefania smiled and turned to the ferryman.

“Now, it seems like you’ve sufficient space for us?”

“… Of course.”

The ferryman standing by the bow laid down his defensive arm gradually, swirling his ugly eyes that glinted in yellow radiance, and let out an ear-piercing laughter.

“Welcome aboard my ferry, everyone. I guarantee to provide you the best and most comfortable service.”
