Canaan still didn’t understand how Angel had managed to escape.
Although Canaan didn’t grasp it, it couldn’t help but reflect inwardly, “The shop owner really is something…” Capable of creating an awakening journey that could stimulate a Demon’s awakening, and daring to open a shop in Lassudral, he really wasn’t simple at all.
With the Sheep Demon having failed to capture him, relying on the previous method to catch Angel was obviously no longer viable.
And against Fafnir, it was definitely no match.
So, the Sheep Demon’s final choice was to temporarily retreat.
The Sheep Demon ran off, its figure quickly becoming a dot and disappearing into the distance. Fafnir didn’t chase after it, knowing full well that pursuing it might just lead to more trouble.
After all, Lassudral was now like a birdcage ablaze in a fierce fire; escape was impossible. No matter where you ran, in the end, you would have to return to the Void Tower.
After the Sheep Demon left, Canaan asked quietly, “Should it be over now?”
“Over? Maybe not,” Fafnir shook her head.
She knew very well that the Sheep Demon was a tenacious opponent, but definitely not the one controlling the lesser Demons to intercept them.
Canaan: “Will they still come after us?”
By now, the enemy had lost a significant number of Demons. In such a situation, it was impossible for them to give up so easily. Judging by their tenacity, Fafnir had a feeling they would come again soon.
However, this time, when they reached the edge of the Shadow Mist Area, they encountered no resistance.
They sensed the presence of some Demons along the way, but none dared to show themselves. Clearly, these Demons had previously witnessed Fafnir’s bloody methods from the shadows.
The Shadow Mist Area had vanished by now, but there were still many Demons lingering nearby. However, when they approached, all these Demons scattered.
Only one big figure remained on the field.
Angel thought he had encountered another Demon blocking their path, but unexpectedly, he heard a familiar shout instead, “I thought it was someone else, turns out it’s the shop owner~”
Angel looked up in confusion, the backlight casting a halo around the large figure. It took a moment for his eyes to adjust before Angel saw the true face of the figure: a slightly dark-skinned giant Demon with a seductively shaped Succubus sitting on its shoulder.
It was none other than Jinn and Gruda, whom Fafnir had spotted earlier through the wind.
“Jinn,” Angel nodded in greeting.
Then the giant Gruda pointed at Angel and let out a resounding hum, “The order I received before was to capture him.”
Gruda’s words made Angel’s expression change.
However, Jinn said, “So your target was the shop owner… That’s a bit unfortunate. My awakening is all thanks to the shop owner’s efforts.”
After speaking, Jinn stuck out her tongue and gently licked Gruda’s ear, “Are you sure you still want to capture him?”
Gruda’s body stiffened for a moment but said nothing.
Jinn continued, “If you want to capture the shop owner, Lady Fafnir next to him will take action, you know. I won’t be helping at that time. So, are you sure you still want to capture him?”
After a moment of silence, Gruda stepped aside to clear a path.
Fafnir gave Jinn a cold glance and walked towards the Shadow Mist Area without a word. Angel followed suit.
As he passed by Gruda, Jinn whispered, “The only one who can command Gruda is a Great Demon… Well, a Great Demon who has nothing to do with me.”
Angel paused, nodded at Jinn in acknowledgement, and thanked her.
They continued their march towards the Void Tower as Jinn and Gruda remained without taking any action.
It was only after Jinn and Gruda were left behind that Canaan spoke up in a low voice, “Jinn definitely knew beforehand that Gruda’s target was the shop owner.”
Angel nodded; he had seen that much.
“So putting on a flirtatious act and stopping Gruda was all a play to get the shop owner to owe her a favor. Such shamelessness,” Canaan said indignantly.
Angel wasn’t too concerned, “It doesn’t matter, the outcome was good. Besides, Jinn did provide some useful information.”
