"This is hopeless. There's too many of them."
Diggo sounded gutless. Maybe because he understood that the situation was much worse than he expected.
"Can't we do something to help them?" Des pointed to the remaining Imperial Soldiers.
"That's right. You're not bringing us here just to watch all of these, am I right?"
Hearing that from Rossbert, a grin surfaced on Eman's mouth.
"Indeed."
His reply was short. But hearing that, the others pay attention to him.
"So, what is your plan?" Rossbert asked again.
Eman's eyes then glowed red.
"I will be blunt. I am going to have you rescue those people."
"""What?!"""
The three exclaimed at the same time. But how can they do that? Did he plan to let them confront those monsters? Even for a joke that was so absurd. Anyway, they didn't think he was the kind of person to make them do such an impossible mission, or is he not?
Rossbert and the others looked doubtful. What if he saved their lives to use them in something later on? And that something was this suicidal mission.
Without minding their shocked reaction, he handed them some elixirs.
"Here take these."
"Holy f*ck!"
Rossbert was startled when a hand appeared in front of him. It appeared as though it pierced through space.
"Don't be startled, it's my hand," Eman said.
"Even if you said that, it's still very startling to find a hand suddenly emerging in front of your face, you know."
Eman chuckled internally at Rossbert's reaction. Well, he could not blame him, he might as well have the same reaction if it happened to him.
Looking at the hand, Rossbert noticed that it was holding five vials of elixirs.
Rossbert placed his palms under Eman's hand to receive the elixirs.
How did he do this? Isn't this a space manipulation ability? So this person can even do it. What a freak.
Eman also handed the same amount of elixirs to Des and Diggo. They also looked startled but not on the same level as Rossbert's reaction.
The elixirs in their hands had a purple color. After staring at them for a second or two, Rossbert opened his mouth again.
"Alright, so what are we going to do?" He asked.
Eman then opened his mouth.
"That purple elixirs are special elixirs. They not only replenish your fatigue and heal your injuries, but they can also boost your attributes for a few minutes. I want you to hand some of them to those Imperial Soldiers, then guide them away from this place as fast as you can. You only have 7 minutes to do that.
After that, if you failed to run away, don't haunt me if you'll get caught by the explosion."
"What?" Rossbert gawked.
He didn't understand what this masked man was really planning to do. The explosion he mentioned… was definitely a powerful spell.
But if he really used a powerful spell, would it be able to eradicate all the monsters? Looking at the number of monsters below. It seemed impossible to eradicate them with one or two powerful explosion spells. They would surely run out of mana before that happened due to the number of monsters.
However, he still needed to trust him.
"Alright! I will risk my life to save everyone!" Rossbert said in full determination.
"Me too!"
"Count me in!"
Des and Diggo also expressed their cooperation.
Meanwhile, Lieutenant Davis already accepted his fate. Death was inevitable now. He could barely move his hands and feet, and his muscles were stiff.
One monster raised its claws high in the air in front of his men.
Lieutenant Davis summoned the last bit of his strength and jumped in front to shield them. He knew that this action of his was rather useless because sooner or later, they would end up dying anyway.
Still, his body reacted on its own accord.
Lieutenant!!!
His men shouted.
But the red stained claw came down tearing the space. At that moment, Lieutenant Davis closed his eyes. His time has come. It was such a regret that he could not even say goodbye to his family. He would not be there when his daughter graduates from the academy. And he would not be there when the time comes when she decides to marry.
The thought of it aches his heart, but what else could he do? He was facing death at this very moment.
Suddenly, Lieutenant Davis heard exclamations.
Ehhh!!!
He slowly opened his eyes, wondering what it was.
But when he opened his eyes, his eyes turned wide. What greeted his exhausted eyes was dark-colored blood almost covering his sight. With a shocked face, he let it splatter on his face.
—PLAP!
The beast minotaur while shrieking was hit by something!
It seemed like a large stone bucket fell on the monster's head and caused the monster to lose consciousness. Everyone was surprised by this incident and it seemed that the other monsters around were also surprised.
The beast could not even cry out in pain as its life was slowly fading away.
Three silhouettes suddenly appeared in front of them. They seemed to have jumped out from the stone bucket.
—-Eh? Who are they?
Lieutenant Davis and the others looked startled at their sudden appearance. Upon realizing that they were not monsters, they asked in their minds who these people were.
However, before they could ask them, they handed them some vials of elixirs.
"Here! Drink this fast!"
"….."
They seemed to be suspicious of them, especially because the elixirs had suspicious colors.
But in this situation, do they have a choice? The answer is no. Thus, they drank the elixirs. Right after gulping the elixirs, their eyes widened in disbelief at the result. Strength returned and their magical energy was recovered along with their stamina.
So they had strength again, but their situation was still the same. They were still surrounded by countless monsters. However, everyone's bewilderment had just started. Emerald flames suddenly emerged, incinerating the surrounding monsters and creating a path for all of them.
"Go!"
They heard a loud commanding voice from above. When they glanced above, they saw a mysterious beast breathing emerald flames at the monsters below. And on top of that monster, was a figure.
"Let's go, we don't have enough time! Please follow us!" Rossbert's voice woke up the Imperial Soldiers and their Lieutenant from their shock.
Lieutenant Davis already believed that these people were not enemies.
"Alright."
After that, they followed Rossbert and Co.
Sphin breathed fire continuously to obliterate the monster in their path.
"What a destructive power!"
Lieutenant Davis couldn't help but speak those words. He was also surprised because it seemed he didn't only regain his strength and stamina, but it also seemed like he became stronger than before.
When they finally got out of the surrounding enemies, Lieutenant Davis glanced behind and saw the monsters behind them.
"Tsk! They are chasing us!"
He shouted.
At this rate, even if they ran away, these monsters would just keep chasing them. But his eyes widened again when suddenly a wall of rock emerged, blocking the road behind them. Many of the monsters bumped into it. But it turned out the wall of rock was so sturdy for them to break, high enough to prevent them from jumping over, and steep enough to avoid them from climbing easily.
