Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 224: Entertainment Tool

'"This is Wilick's gloves. Well, the sequence inside is damaged " Alan quickly checked the gloves and asked Lucy, "Where did you find them?"

"Here." Lucy kicked a snowdrift beside her.

There was a gap in the snow, the size of a glove, and it looked like it was buried in the snow for Lucy to discover. Alan circled around, and there were other traces of the corpses of the nearby Saber Demons. At first, it was a miserable green charred ground. Something had wreaked havoc on it. The ground was extremely sour, and the wind could not disperse. There were also two cracks that extended nearly ten meters forward in the shape of a V, and there was still a faint amount of Origin Energy left behind.

Looks like there was a fierce battle here.

"We didn't find Wilick's corpse. Looks like they were caught." Alan's brows almost knitted together.

Lucy said worriedly, "Then what should we do?"

"Of course I'm going to save them. I'm not used to giving up on my companions." Alan said in a deep voice.

A burst of cold swept over, causing William to open his eyes, and then bone-piercing pain came from his back. He subconsciously got up and pressed his shoulder against a large hand. "Don't move," Bloy's voice came from the darkness. "They took care of you. You can't die, but don't do anything too violent."

"Good to hear your voice, big man," grinned Wilick.

"What's so good about it? You won't forget that we were captured by the Saber Demon." Broy snorted.

"It's not embarrassing to let a Level 18 Thousand Commander and a Level 20 Saber Demon General fall. The important thing is that we're still alive, buddy. There's hope if we're alive," Welik said with a smile on his face. "It's not embarrassing to let a Level 18 Thousand Commander and a Level 20 Saber Demon General fall."

He patted his head and asked, "Where are we now?"

'"I don't know. After you fainted, I was unable to hold on by myself. After that, they covered my eyes and didn't give me a chance to see the route. I only knew that I had been walking in the snow for about four or five days, and then I was thrown into this dark prison."

"It has been so many days. I hope the boss will find us." Said Wilick.

Now that he remembered it, the great battle that day near the Neverwinter Lake was truly shocking.

After being blown away by the snow whirlwind, as Alan had expected, William and Bloy arrived at Neverwinter Lake. At that time, the sacrificial team was already resting near Lake Neverwinter. When Wilick and the other two arrived, the Saber Demon bandits had coincidentally fought against the ten warriors of the sacrificial team. The leader of the Saber Demon, Bazba, discovered them and mistook them for members of the sacrificial squad. Thus, the two of them were confused and fought with the bandit leader.

After killing Bazba, Wilick saw that the situation was not good and fled with Broyle. Unexpectedly, the Saber Demon chased after them, and a general and the Thousand Commander worked together to capture them. William asked himself that he was going to die, but he didn't expect that there was still a chance to wake up, so he immediately had hope. He stretched out his hand and touched everywhere. He found that the rock in his hand was cold and the material was hard. Even if the Origin Energy of the two of them weren't restrained, it would still be very difficult for them to break through the wall.

At this moment, the sound of the gears spinning in front of him sounded. Gradually, light began to shine, as if a door had opened. The two of them were surprised to see that the fire behind them suddenly lit up. Through the light, they saw that there were actually a few fire-breathing devices at the back of the cell. Right now, a few devices were starting to spit fire, and the flames almost landed on the two of them.

Wilick hurriedly stood up, his back aching. At that time, the Saber Demon General slashed down on his back, barely cutting him to two sides. Only four or five days had passed, and the wound had barely healed without proper treatment. Now that he had made a big move, his muscles were torn apart, and the pain was so great that William gritted his teeth. Broy hurriedly erected him and the two of them retreated. After the fire-breathing device spat out flames several times, they retreated and left the dungeon.

The flames were meant to force them out of their memories.

As soon as he left the cell, his eyes lit up. The strong light caused the two of them to feel uncomfortable for a moment, and they both closed their eyes. In his ears, he could hear waves of sounds, even the sound of weapons being knocked on. When they got used to the light and opened their eyes, they found themselves standing on a fighting field. This was an oval-shaped arena. The ground was red and yellow. There were some corpses piled up randomly in the corner. The air was filled with a faint stench of corpses.

Above was an energy shield, separating the arena from the spectator arena. The arena was surrounded by Saber Demons. They shouted excitedly and occasionally attacked each other with weapons to help their prestige. Wilick looked around and saw a few fences on the left side of the arena. Right now, one of them rose, revealing a cabin door. Suddenly, a few weapons slid down from inside. There were knives, swords, axes, heavy spears, and so on. At this time, a cell opposite Welik and the others also broke out. Similarly, flames flickered in the cell, and saber devils with low expressions walked out one by one. Wilick recognized that one or two of them were the bandits who had attacked the sacrificial team.

"What's going on?" Broy frowned.

'"What else could be good? You want us to fight those saber devils? Pick up your weapon, big man. Give me a knife." Welik slammed his hand against the Highlanders.

He was badly wounded in the back and could not move easily. Bloy's injuries were much lighter than his. He ran towards the pile of weapons near the fence and kicked the saber at William. He picked up his axe and spear.

Just as Wilick bent down and picked up his saber, the Saber Demon on the other side had already shouted and attacked.

There are more than a dozen of them.

"Motherf*cker, don't think that I'm crippled just because I have a wound on my back." Wilick shouted. He saw a Saber Demon rushing in front of him and handed out a saber. Origin Energy poured into the blade, and the saber hummed as it entered the Saber Demon's chest. As the blade ejected, the Saber Demon fell to the ground.

However, this caused Wilick's injuries to worsen.

"I'll do it." Broyle said simply, his left axe and right spear crossed Welik and one of them met the Saber Demon.

The Highlanders activated the engraving, and their eyes glowed with a faint red light. He took a deep breath and shouted. A faint sound wave exploded, and the seven or eight Saber Devils who bore the brunt of it immediately staggered around like they were drunk. However, they were struck by Broy's ability to roar, and their nervous centers temporarily lost their balance. Broyle didn't hesitate to charge in like a whirlwind.

With the axe in his hand, his head immediately separated from his body. The heavy spear was like a poisonous dragon coming out of a hole. The tip of the spear aimed at the heart and pierced into it, one spear at a time. After three or two strikes, the Saber Demons were knocked down, leaving behind the two Saber Demon bandits. They all had around rank ten Origin Energy, and seeing that Broyle was not to be trifled with, they activated the engraving as well. The two of them worked together, risking their lives to fight each other from time to time. It would take a lot of effort for Broy to take care of them.

William took a deep breath and gradually gathered his Origin Energy. Seeing the opportunity, Wilick roared and pounced on a Blade Demon's spear when it was sent flying by Broy's hand axe. At this moment, he forgot the injuries behind him and sprinted like a cheetah, arriving next to the Saber Demon in an instant. When the saber collided, the edge of the saber entered the body of the demon. The Saber Demon let out a cry of alarm. The bone blade in his arm bounced up and slashed at William.

Wilick kicked him away and rolled back on the ground. He didn't have the strength to see if the demon was dead. He lay on the ground, panting heavily. The wound on his back and the new wound just now were bleeding profusely.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining demons screamed and forced Broy to turn around and run. The highlanders leaned forward with their heavy spears and threw them at the Saber Demon like cannonballs. Carrying him off the ground, he fell heavily to the ground.

Blade Demon's shout came from above his head. Broy raised his head and roared loudly. He threw his axe to the left side of the spectator arena. The axe violently smashed into the energy shield, causing a huge flame to explode, but it was unable to break through the shield. Broyle shook his head. That shield's energy level was not low. With his current strength, he was unable to break through it. He had no choice but to walk back and put Wilick up. At this moment, the fences on both sides of the arena were opened, and a large number of Saber Demons poured in from both sides, some of them rank 16 or 17 Thousand Commanders.

They shook their weapons and shouted at Broy and the others, pointing at the cell behind them. Welik smiled bitterly. "Looks like they want us to scram back."

Broy saw that there were too many people and that there was a Thousand Commander among them, so it was very difficult for him to forcefully attack. He snorted and carried Wilick back to his cell. As soon as he entered, an iron fence descended from the door. Every steel bar of the iron fence was as thick as an arm, and it was difficult to break through without a sharp weapon in his hand. At this time, the Saber Demon handed in a basin with some unknown barbecue meat on it. The two of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They both picked up the barbecue meat and ate it.

Eat it, and you'll have the strength to do other things. '"I bet that's the only way out of this damn place," William said as he watched the Saber Demon retreat from the fences on both sides of the arena.

"What's your plan?"

"Not yet. But it looks like we've become their entertainment tools. We can't die for the time being. Don't worry, there will always be opportunities." Willie Kopi lay on the ground with his teeth and said, "Let these guys know when I'm well."

Broy threw a piece of roast meat in front of him. "Eat more and it'll be good soon."

Although Blade Demon's definition of delicacy was quite different from that of humans, this barbecue meat had nothing to do with delicacies. Wilick gritted his teeth and took a big bite. Like Broy said, it's better to eat more than you want. It would be easier to escape if he recovered from his injuries.

There was no light in the cell, only the sound of two people chewing.

"This should be the Saber Demon's sacred place."

Alan handed the binoculars to Lucy, and the girl took them and looked down. Below was a patch of snow. There was a huge circular protrusion on the snow. It was not clear what it was because it was too far away, but there were similarly round objects not far away. They were covered in ice and snow, revealing only their outlines, looking like four big snowballs.

According to the traces left behind by the sacrificial team, Allen and the others walked in the Barren Land for four days before arriving at this area. They were on a mountain ridge. Not far away, there was a mountain path that slanted towards the ground. The traces left behind by the sacrificial team descended from that mountain path. It was obvious that their destination was the spherical objects on the ground. These objects were also found on Alan and the others' hide maps. All clues indicated that even if this place was not a sacred place, it would definitely be the place where Wilick and the others were being held.

However, there were quite a few spheres in this area, and there were four spherical objects in total. He really didn't know which sphere William and Bloy would be in.
