Chapter 305: Who were on whose side?
“Miss… Madam… Ah… leader Mia… where did these demons come from? What should we do now?” Shin Soo asked.
“If we stay here any longer, then chances are that the demons might sense us and start attacking us as well?”
“Should we leave?” Someone else suggested.
“Maybe we should wait a while and then circle around the two groups to pick off the weaker ones?” Shen Yue suggested.
“I think that’s a good plan. We can get a lot of experience points this way.” Mei Mei clapped her hands.
A few others also agreed with them.
Everyone was about to reach a decision when Mia raised her hand and stopped the group.
“It won’t be that simple. Just look at the number of demons. These few dark elves won’t be able to manage them.”
“They will definitely come after us after dealing with them. In fact, all the neighboring villages are in danger.”
Mia’s words made everyone stiffen up as they couldn’t ignore the sheer number of these demons.
They also couldn’t get a good grasp of the situation because of the black mist that was obstructing their view.
So if they end up underestimating the enemy, they would get themselves in big trouble, dying at least once or twice or perhaps more times.
This could even be a special event that gives out massive rewards.
Such events would naturally be sought after by all the players and the various guilds as they had the chance to be extremely lucrative.
But the difficulty would be equally high. Their small group was not even able to handle the dark elves.
Then how could they possibly handle the demons who took care of the dark elves?
While everyone was stewing in this dilemma, suddenly another message flashed in their group chat.
“Are you guys still not attacking? Target the dark elves and finish the battle soon before more reinforcements come their way.”
Liam had sent a second message!
Now they did not have any more reasons to wait and quickly jumped into the fray.
Or rather they stood at the sides and started to pick off one dark elf after another, by ganking the unsuspecting dark elves that even slightly wandered away from the main group.
At first, they tried to be as careful as possible, but it was impossible to be completely invisible on such a massive battlefield.
Eventually, a few demons spotted these new intruders.
But the weird part was that… not one of these demons even gave them a second look. They might as well be on the same team!
Seeing this, Mia narrowed her eyes and the next second did something bold.
She cast a protection spell on one of the demons that was about to die from a dark elf attack.
But thanks to her timely healing, this situation changed at the last moment.
The demon suddenly recovered and swung its mace with gusto on the charging dark elf, even landing the other party a killing blow.
GRUUUU! The demon then loudly grunted, nodding at Mia, and strangely went off to fight another dark elf, once again ignoring her.
“This… this is…” Mia looked dazed with her lips parted. She was visibly shocked at this occurrence.
Shouldn’t the demon have attacked them just now?
What she did was crazy and could have pulled a lot of aggro and brought about everyone’s death in an instant.
She would have normall never done such a thing, but something told her that the demons were purposefully ignoring them as if they had been ordered to.
This was impossible and yet, this was happening right in front of them…
But how? Why?
As she was absent-mindedly continuing to cast her spells, suddenly a frightening thought popped into her mind.
These many demons… what if these many demons were all somehow controlled by that one person…
“No. That’s impossible.” Mia muttered to herself, shaking her head resolutely. “It is impossible for anyone to possess that much power.”
It looked like a few others also had similar thoughts as they stared at the demons in front of them just like Mia, unable to make up their minds.
So except for Shen Yue and Mei Mei and the Korean players who had almost an unshakeable faith in Liam, the others were not giving the fight their all.
They looked confused and dazed as if their minds were on something else. Their full concentration was definitely not on the fight.
And in the midst of this chaos and confusion, adding fuel to the fire, another figure came into everyone’s view.
Actually, not one but many.
However, everyone present was very familiar with these figures… because they were all ghosts and that too of chickens and rabbits.
WHAT THE HELL???
These chickens and rabbits… it couldn’t be, right?
They were ghost-like. They were fighting their asses off and they were fighting alongside the demons!
But how could this be possible?
A few hours earlier, Liam had only a couple of these ghosts. And now they somehow multiplied?
