Chapter 515 Eat My Ice Fire Bomb!
The Aden Square was extremely vast in area, with many trees over 100 years old. The loud explosion erupted alongside powerful magic waves, immediately following which an elderly bloodstained figure rushed out of a forest with a child in his arms. His footsteps were quite labored, but he showed no intention of stopping.
Behind him was a burly six-armed snake demon. He was holding all types of weapons in his six hands, and his black serpentine lower body slithered forward with astonis.h.i.+ng speed. Just a casual flick of his tail could fell a large tree.
Behind the six-armed snake demon were four or five demons and orcs closing in in a semi-circle formation. All of them were moving extremely quickly, and were rapidly gaining on their prey. The sinister smiles on their faces were apparent for all to see.
“It’s Joshua and Anna!” Blour’s eyes were filled with shock as he looked at the two fleeing elves. His gaze fell on the gaping hole in Joshua’s chest, and his expression immediately darkened. That was a grievous wound that would most likely kill him. Why would these demons and orcs chase down this pair of harmless elves? A green wand appeared in his hand, and green light s.h.i.+mmered on its tip.
Such powerful magic waves! Sally was rather surprised as she looked at Blour. Her gaze then fell on Joshua and Anna, upon which her expression immediately changed. She hurriedly put down the serving platter in her hands, and rushed out of the restaurant.
“Save us, Big Brother!” Anna’s little face was pale with fear, but a hint of hope lit up in her eyes as she caught sight of Blour.
Joshua also turned to Blour with a hopeful expression. He stomped violently into the ground and abruptly changed his direction, rus.h.i.+ng toward Mamy Restaurant while leaving a trail of blood in his wake.
“Rise, wooden forest wall!” Blour pointed his wand behind Joshua, and a green light flashed through the air. Immediately thereafter, a green wooden wall three meters tall and five meters wide instantly appeared behind Joshua.
The spells and projectiles unleashed by the pursuing demons all crashed into the wooden wall, making it tremor violently. After withstanding a powerful spell from the six-armed snake demon, it was finally at its limits, and exploded into specks of green light.
“Who are you? Why are you hunting down my elven brethren?” By that time, Blour had already arrived beside Joshua and Anna. He lent his arm to Joshua for support, and appraised the demons and orcs with a frosty expression.
All of the restaurant’s customers looked on with curiosity in their eyes. Some of them recognized Joshua and Anna as the pair of elven travelers that had dined here earlier in the day. A hint of sympathy welled up in their hearts upon making that realization. They were wondering how the two of them had irked that group of terrifying demons.
What a nosy b.a.s.t.a.r.d. This piggie is male, but he’s even better-looking than females. If we capture him, we’ll be sure to sell him for a good price. He’s quite powerful, though, so we might not be able to catch him. We can’t cause too much of a commotion in Chaos City, but at the very least, we have to kill that old piggie. Otherwise, we could get exposed. Ebenezer stopped in his tracks, and glared coldly at Blour before turning to Joshua with a furious expression. “That old b.a.s.t.a.r.d stole from me and killed two of my brothers! I have to capture him to avenge my fallen brothers!”
“Do you think you can fool me with that story?” Blour’s expression turned even colder upon hearing that. He turned to Sally, and said, “Save him.”
Sally was initially at a loss for what to do, but Blour’s instruction suddenly gave her direction. She immediately strode forward to the deathly pale Joshua, who was too feeble to even speak.
She helped him lie down on the ground as green light appeared on her fingertips. She then pressed her hands gently over the wound on his chest, upon which the wound began to heal. However, her expression only became graver despite that.
Joshua was extremely severely wounded, and he had most likely used a spell that burned his life force. He was already close to reaching the end of his lifespan, and what little remaining life force he had was like a dying candle flickering in the breeze. Even if she had some milk of life on hand, it wouldn’t be able to save
him.
“Grandpa! Grandpa! You have to stay awake! I’m scared, Grandpa, I can’t live without you!” Anna was sobbing uncontrollably as she knelt next to Joshua, clenching his wrinkled hand tightly with her two little hands.
Ebenezer was rather taken aback at the sight of Sally. She was a very beautiful and powerful elf, but she appeared to be working as a waitress. Perhaps he could bring along more brothers next time to capture her; she would definitely sell for a good price. He took a glance at Joshua, who appeared to be slowly recovering, and he yelled at Blour, “Don’t stick your nose in other people’s business, little brat. These two have stolen from me, we have evidence. Even if people from the Gray Temple were to come here, they would take our side!”
“You’re telling me an old elf would take his granddaughter with him to steal from a bunch of demons and orcs? Can’t you at least fabricate a more convincing story? You’re not getting your hands on them today!” Blour’s expression cooled even further upon hearing Anna’s distraught sobs. He could already guess what had happened.
“Alright, you’re quite an arrogant little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, aren’t you? Let me see if a pretty piggie like you can back up your big mouth!” Ebenezer raised three of his arms in unison, and commanded, “Capture them!”
The demons and orcs surrounding the restaurant’s entrance in a semi-circle immediately pounced toward Blour and the others. Ebenezer began to chant a complex spell, and black light materialized on his six arms.
The restaurant’s customers all had their attention drawn to the events unfolding outside. They were quite sympathetic toward Joshua and Anna, but also quite concerned that Blour was facing off against such a powerful group of demons and orcs.
Yabemiya stood off to the side with a concerned expression. She wanted to help and save Joshua, but was afraid that she would get in Sally’s way, so she could only hold her platter as a s.h.i.+eld and stand in front of them.
“I feel so sorry for that old man. Should we go and help him?” At the entrance of the magic potion shop, Xixi was looking at Joshua with a sympathetic expression.
“But they’re elves; if we get exposed…” Lulu grabbed onto Xixi’s wrist and shook his head with a worrisome expression.
“Lulu, if it weren’t for Young Mistress Sally, we’d already be dead by now. The elves had nothing to do with the fall of our race.” Xixi turned back to Lulu with a serious expression.
“Let’s go, then. I’ll help fight those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds off.” Lulu finally made his decision after a brief hesitation. He stepped forward and threw himself at a burly bear demon.
Right at that moment, a mellow voice sounded from the restaurant entrance. “How dare you baddies bully these good people! Eat my Ice Fire Bomb!”
