Grook looked at his brother exasperatedly. Since they were young, their personalities were far different from each other. Despite being the older brother, he had always been more introverted and tended to worry over things. His brother, on the other hand, was different. Goyle had always been a carefree person and would always think positively no matter what.Grook sighed as he patted Goyle's shoulder. "I'm not trying to burst your bubble, but the two of us are only slightly stronger than your average warrior. I think you're setting your sights too high by saying we'll make at least a million. It's quite likely we won't get that much."Goyle frowned. "There you go again. You're always so miserable! You love to look at the negative side of things, worrying too much! I just set that goal to give us some motivation. After all, it's better to aim for the stars and get the moon. I'm trying to push us forward, but you keep holding us back!"The more Goyle spoke, the more frustrated he got.
The demons looked humanoid, but there were still some differences. For instance, the limbs of the demons were longer, so they did not walk the way humans would. They walked more like gorillas that were not fully mature and would always slouch when they walked forward.However, the two demons in front of them were steady in their steps, just like a human, which was an oddity on its own.The more Grook looked, the more he felt like something was off. He had killed quite a few demons as he and his brother had also killed two crimson demons before with a team effort. Despite having seen many demons, however, they never saw a demon that resembled much like a human. It was strange no matter how they looked at it.The two of them exchanged a look with each other before they took a step back. However, the next second, the two demons that were advancing at an even pace suddenly sped up. The green demon immediately rushed in front of the two of them.At that moment, they realized that those
The few of them participating in this would not be able to get much more than scraps, but it was not bad. Furthermore, all of them had greedy ambitions when they were assigned the tasks, yet it was different when they actually carried them out.Looking at the warriors that he had knocked unconscious, Brock sighed, feeling a bit reluctant. He was mostly worried. After all, if what they did was known everywhere, it would cause a lot of chaos. The two of them might even be dragged into it.Kent could tell what Brock was worried about. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Since we've accepted the task, don't dwell on it too much. Just take things a step at a time. In the worst-case scenario, we can just hide."Even though the two of them were reasonably strong, no one would care how strong they were when the masses were rioting—they would be hated no matter what.Brock sighed helplessly. "Triton and the others must've thought about this, and they must've thought about a way to deal with it
Kent nodded before taking out the small, unique array. It looked like a blinking token from afar, and it had two green spots on it.The green spots represented the fact that they were alive. If any of them died during the task, the spots would turn red. There was the number seven on the array, representing their results, which signified they had successfully caught seven people.The array was a part of the Vermillion Tune Formation. With the task ongoing, everyone would be given a small array that was used to determine their location, status, and results.The Vermillion Tune Formation was in the cave that Desmond and Seymour were in. At that moment, the Vermillion Tune Formation was in an activated state. Four people stood in front of it, looking at the countless blinking green lights on the formation.The green lights were all in different spots, which represented the warriors that were carrying out the tasks. As the warriors moved, the spots would move as well.Maintaining the f
Of course, he could not voice such suspicion. After all, he was a leader, and if he was not confident, he would never be able to lead his subordinates to accomplish their tasks.Desmond turned to look at Pascal. "How long has it been?"Pascal looked at the array in his hand. "It's been fourteen hours."Desmond frowned as he looked at the top of the Vermillion Tune Formation. There were large red letters that showed '117' on the formation. The number indicated the progress of the warriors that were carrying out the tasks. At that point, they had captured 117 people alive.If they wanted Heartblood, they would need to make sure that the captives were alive. Then, they needed to use the cruelest methods to obtain as much Heartblood as they could.Desmond took a deep breath and said in displeasure, "They only got a hundred and seventeen people in fourteen hours? What are they doing? How did the first day yield so little?! It's not like it's a hard assignment!"Desmond got angrier as
They had only been hiding behind the hills as observers, not daring to step in at all, but the three of them did not expect that Fane would rush to them after he dealt with Tanner's group. The three of them were stunned.After all, none of them expected that they would still be noticed despite the distance. The three of them only realized their error when Fane rushed over to them with his sword in hand.Right after that, Lourain arrived as well. His eyes widened in shock when he saw there were people hiding there. They truly underestimated Fane's perception!Fane was a soul attribute warrior. After training in that attribute for so long and absorbing so many treasures, his soul was as strong as one that had gone through a few hundred years of training. It was several times stronger than the soul of a regular person.The stronger the soul was, the better one's perception would be. Even warriors at the peak did not have a perception at Fane's level. The moment those three even saw Fa
Maxcus had a wry smile on his face as he told Fane and Lourain what happened to them.After hearing Maxcus' explanation, Fane's expression started to ease. From what Maxcus was saying, it was likely that Maxcus was not lying. If it really was as he said, Fane could let him off.Just as Fane was thinking about it, two green demons and two crimson demons with straight postures started to quickly head toward them.The four demons were incredibly quick and much more agile than regular demons.Brock held the mask on his face as he turned to look at the other green demon."Hey, Lenny! You know how we are! Don't even think about pulling any tricks. Since you said you wanted to work together, make sure everything is fair and above board. Otherwise, don't even bother with 'working together'. I'll get you if I ever find out you pulled something!"Lenny had a green demon mask on as well. Underneath the mask, his expression was a bit twisted as he tried to hold back the disgust in his heart.
At that moment, Fane had been thinking about what to do with Maxcus when he suddenly felt a strange movement. He could sense the arrival of four men on the hill next to them. The geography was quite complex where they were, and there were many hills and valleys that obstructed one's sight—which the newcomers took advantage of to hide.The ones who had arrived were Brock and the others, who were disguised as demons. Lazlo was after Fane's bunch. At the time, they had been quite far away from Fane and the others, having been almost twice as far away as Maxcus.They just happened to be waiting there for someone else and witnessed Tanner's group rushing in front of Fane. Right after that, they saw Maxcus' group arriving quietly before hiding behind the hill.Seeing a total of nine warriors gathered in one area, both Lazlo and Lenny were ecstatic. After all, they only managed to capture six men even after being there for so many hours, which was embarrassing.Other than those who were w
