Chapter 244 – But You Won’ (1/2)

Woos brought a large group of people into the silver vault, and saw a loving pair of master and servant wiping their tears.

This place was supposed to be a sea of silver leaf fruits, but now there was pulp everywhere and the fruits were pulverized into the black dirt, like a night sky filled with sparkling lights.

It wasn’t just Loran Academy’s students, the four Bamboo Academy’s students were also lying there, but they only ones who were still conscious were Lin Xiao and Elena.

“Teacher Woos! Y-you finally came!!!”

When he saw Woos, Lin Xiao was moved to tears, even though he wasn’t even able to squeeze out a single tear with his botched fake crying, his heartbroken expression and grief-stricken cry really sold it.

“My god, w-what is that thing???”

“Wait, don’t come any closer, it’ll be terrible if they come back to life!”

Even it those Lesser Devils were already turned into lumps of meat, the soldiers still didn’t dare approach and were afraid those thing would just suddenly stand up. So they stood afar from the entrance and were hesitating on rescuing the injured students.

As for Woos and Momm, they couldn’t care as saving them was more important!

They anxiously rushed in and split up to work, Momm went to check on Caesar and Rosie while Woos kneeled by Lin Xiao and asked him about the situation.

“Lin Xiao, are you guys okay?”

“I’m okay, and so is my maid… but Caesar and them are heavily injured, please take them back to the camp!”

“Damn! Old man Woos, it’s pretty serious we have to treat them as soon as possible. That brat from Bamboo Academy is in an even worse state, it doesn’t seem like there’s an unbroken bone in his body… we have to get them out of here!”

Momm impatiently shouted after examining them.

“Hey! You bastards, stop just standing there! Are you just going to watch them die? Get over here!”

“O-oh!”

Even though Momm doesn’t have the authority to command the soldiers, but thanks to his bald head and appearance, the soldiers trembled from his yell and braved themselves, went around the monster corpses, and began the rescue effort.

“Lin Xiao, tell me, what happened?” Woos supported Lin Xiao up and asked worryingly.

“Sigh, I… I really don’t want to talk about it.” Lin Xiao made a show of being very much in earnest and shook his head, and made himself look like he was scared out of his wits.

“Sigh, teacher Woos, I’m scared, I’m so scared…”

“I really want to forget… but every time I close my eyes, that memory repeatedly plays in my head.”

“Why? Why did this happen to us!”

Everything started with their search for the silver vault. They had thought it was the steps to win, but it ended up being the grave that would kill them!

“It was Anderson!”

When Lin Xiao remembered, he tightly clenched his fists, his gaze had a fleeting glance, and he started uncontrollably trembling.

“We arrived at the silver vault first under Caesar’s leadership, but we were ambushed by Anderson. A large number of monsters surged out from underground and Anderson ordered them to attack us!”

“That two-faced villain! He acts like an amiable Archbishop on the surface, but he was secretly conducting wicked human experimentation and creating terrifying monsters, Lesser Devils!”

“Those monsters were too powerful, even Caesar wasn’t a match! And I… sorry, I ran away to protect Elena.”

“Even if he had the powerful Dragon Slayer sword, he could only finish off a couple of those monsters, but there were still so many left and he couldn’t resist… sigh, it’s all my fault, if I was stronger, then I could’ve have fought alongside Caesar.”

Lin Xiao had a gloomy look as he tightened his fist and felt deep remorse for his escape.

Woos didn’t rebuke him and just helplessly sighed, and expressed his understanding.

Although he couldn’t fully grasp the true strength of the Lesser Devils, but if they could finish off Caesar, that meant they were at least sixth-level and since Lin Xiao was only a fifth-level magician, there was no way he could win with his magic.

So, who saved everyone?

Woos suddenly remembered that explosion, and the meteor craters he saw at the entrance to the remains.

That was undoubtedly seventh-level magic, Flaming Meteor! Only powerful seventh-level magic could easily finish off these monsters.

So, who casted the Flaming Meteors?

No one here could have done it… so did Lin Xiao lie?

“No, no, no, Teacher Woos, I wouldn’t dare lie!” Lin Xiao quickly denied it before Woos started suspecting him.
