Chapter 1100: Levium (17)
"We've discovered he's a high-ranking blackguard. Even worse, he was directly responsible for the capture and imprisonment of Erik's father, which we know well led to Lucius' death. Erik often spoke about him during our time in Frant, especially in high school. However, Erik only learned about his uncle's involvement with the blackguards while in Etrium. He is basically Erik's main target. Even the blackguards as a whole are not as important as him."
Emily and Mira exchanged shocked glances.
"So Erik's targeting his own uncle?" Emily asked.
Amber nodded. "He is not really his uncle, mind that. It's just how Erik called him, an honorific of the sort. This explains why he wants to stay there and fight. He's not just fighting the blackguards; he's going after the man who betrayed his family."
The group fell silent for a moment. "This doesn't change the fact he wants us to bombard the same area in which he is."
Amber broke the silence. "We have to trust him. Erik's strength has gotten us this far. He must see something we don't, or..."
"Or he doesn't care what happens to him." June said.
"Yeah."
The Chimaeric Demon tilted its head while receiving more information. "The other units are already mobilizing towards the target area."
Mira sighed. "We have little choice, then. We need to go there quickly if we're going to have any say in how this plays out."
"What do you want to do?" June asked Mira.
"We go help Erik, of course. If the man responsible for his father's death is there, then I want to at least give him a punch..."
"Yeah..." Emily had a determined face. "Besides, I think this is not the only reason he wants to kill him so badly. There must be more. Erik is not that easily swayed by his emotions. It happens some time, but not that frequently."
"No! "I don't like this idea at all," said a Chimaeric Demon.
"While you surely are not weak and have your own set of competences, shapeshifting isn't one of the things you can do. We clones can reach the master by changing our form, but you can't. Proceeding with this plan would be far too dangerous for both us and you. Moreover, it might complicate matters for the master."
"There is a bunch of Chimaeric Demons there already," Amber said. "What can four more people do?"
"It's not about what four more people can do," the clone said.
"I'm pretty sure you will be useful. I'm not doubting that. It's just that the people we are fighting have multiple brain crystal powers. Not only that, but they are also very strong and have trained and fought for years. Just taking this into account, there is a huge level difference between them and you."
"Elder brother?!"
The clone couldn't understand, or better, he could, but didn't want to accept that.
"They might really help the master. Our group is made of twenty-four fighters. Twenty
Chimaeric Demons and four of us. I think we can pull this off."
June's words were just second to Noah's, and his were second to Erik's.
The Chimaeric Demon sighed. "We'll clear a path through the fighting, then stay close and be
ready for anything."
With that, the Demons surged forward, carving a swath through the chaos. Emily, Amber,
June, and Mira followed.
They pushed deeper into the fray. The intensity of the fighting increased. The four risked their lives at any time, but the Chimaeric Demons did their best to protect them.
They even had to heal them a couple of times.
"We will open a path there!"
The clones used their Starlight Fire brain crystal power to destroy the troops in front of them.
A series of explosions rocked the area.
Flashes lit up the battlefield, along with explosions that made the ground shake.
Smoke and debris flew up, blocking the view for a moment. The clones knew that those hit
directly by their attacks were killed instantly, while others nearby were badly hurt by the heat
and flying debris.
"It's our chance!"
