Chapter 109


    "First, heal your wounds; we''re breaking out of here immediately," Adirich urged, with no time for


    idle talk. He quickly signaled his men to rally a few more mercenary bands. Raiding was far more


    convenient and quicker than mining treasures themselves. They had already acquired eight stones


    embedded with magical ore and a vast amount of precious Elixir Herbs and Elixir Fruits. A few more


    raids on the mercenary bands, and they could return home with their haul.


    "But..." Trevas couldn''t swallow the bitter pill, craning his neck in search of the ''viin.''

    "Stop dawdling. You''ll get your share," Adirich snapped, his eyes reddened by the lure of the riches.


    "Guys, let''s hunt for prey!"


    "Raid and plunder, haha!" the fifty-strong Protégés roared with passion, their eyes scanning eagerly.


    Many mercenary bands hid in the chaos, fearing a plunder. But just then, a loud shout came from


    atop a high rock. The voice was piercing. "Treasure here! Great treasure! Super magical ore for


    those who want it!"


    The scene was chaotic; ordinary voices wouldn''t attract attention, but the words ''treasure'' and


    ''Super magical ore'' were too tempting, drawing the notice of many Protégés and mercenaries


    around.


    "It''s him!! That''s the one!" Trevas'' eyes reddened with recognition.


    vin stood on a raised tform, holding aloft the massive stone he had snatched from Trevas,


    with the Super magical ore facing the crowd. The gleaming magical ore was too eye-catching in the


    dim light, like a potent stimnt shot into the hearts of the hundreds around, also quickly drawing


    the attention of numerous Magi-Monsters.


    "That''s mine!" Trevas growled through clenched teeth.


    "Super magical ore?? Raid!" Adirich didn''t hesitate, signaling his Protégés to attack. What would


    fifty of them be afraid of?


    But then vin made a startling move, waving the massive stone and shouting, "Want it? There''s


    more over there!" He pointed towards Adirich''s group, many of whom held glowing stones or Elixir


    Fruits, their luminescence all the more enticing in the dim light, more wondrous.


    vin hurled the massive stone toward Adirich''s position, shouting, "Let’s go! Whoever takes it, it''s


    theirs!"


    "What the hell!" Adirich''s rage red, but in the next instant, his face turned green with dismay.


    vin followed the stone, tumbling to the ground and sprinting with long strides. The Dawnedge


    de vibrated fiercely, casting a storm of sword shadows as he charged head-on at several


    Protégés. Fearless, unstoppable.


    "Plunder, raid!" Mercenaries and Magi-Monsters from all directions surged towards them, like


    starved wolves upon sulent meat. The mercenaries who had been previously robbed, threw


    themselves into the fray with gritted teeth.


    Adirich''s band was strong; no one dared to attack them, but with someone leading the charge, why


    hold back? Just go get it!


    The critical thing was the abundance of treasures they had, shining and dazzling in the dark.


    vin, taking the lead, charged through the ranks, fighting recklessly, not to plunder but to create


    chaos.


    The ce descended into utter pandemonium, Magi-Monsters, and mercenaries joined the fray like


    predators, with even the sly Cobalt Strike Protégés rushing in. In the chaos and darkness, it was


    time for battle.


    Trevas was nearly faint with rage. Not again?


    Adirich was burning with fury. “Where did this bastarde from? Did I ever cross you?”


    vin, seizing the moment of confusion, made his way to the center. His crude mask looked sinister


    in the dim light. Covered in blood, he emanated a murderous aura, like a demon emerging from hell.


    With a ferocious howl, he charged forward. The Earthtorrent Greatde exuded the might of


    mountains and rivers, and its sword''s energy boiled tumultuously.


    Adirich''s expression shifted, sensing the powerful sword energy. He couldn''t gauge the stranger''s


    origin or strength. Gritting his teeth, he dodged to the side, but... he forgot Trevas was behind him,


    and that Trevas was gravely wounded.


    Trevas'' face nched as the chilling sword''s energy magnified before his eyes.


    It was over, his heart sank.


    Thud!


    vin brushed past Trevas, blood spraying, head severed from Trevas’ body! Trevas swayed and


    fell face up to the ground.


    "Trevas!!" Adirich was shocked, and in utter disbelief as he stared at Trevas on the ground. Trevas


    was dead?
