Chapter 24: Escape

It was only a split second from Su Ye smashing the demon collar on Lamia's body with the magic guide gun to the death of the petrified pupil in the priest's body.

In the eyes of the cultists, the priest, who had experienced a hundred battles and was second only to the Dharma Protector in strength, was easily killed.

Perhaps, this is the previous gap between humans and subhumans.

The gods did not give humans magic powers, nor did they give humans strong flesh. Human beings have developed to this point today thanks to the industrious hands of generations of ancestors and the endless spirit of exploration.

Build high walls, forge weapons, and defend against foreign enemies.

Grow food, legislate, recuperate.

Until the advent of the Augur chip, humans gained magic and possessed the power to compete with subhumans.

Magic, combat skills, magic techniques... One after another human wisdom crystallized into the world, and human beings began to seize the initiative on the continent, building cities all over the continent, integrating friendly sub-races into society, and expelling murderous sub-races from the outside world.

If there were no demonic beasts, perhaps humans would have become the overlord of this world at this time.

However, when Su Ye liberated Lamia, the cultists present finally remembered that they were like lambs to the slaughter in front of the sub-race after losing their magic guides-

Poof

Hot blood stained the floor, and Julia rushed down the platform, her eyes scarlet, like a beast released from a cage, and began her slaughter.

"Damn—"

A magical light array appeared under one of the cultists' feet, but before he could chant it, Julia's right hand had already grabbed his head and snapped his neck.

Several warrior cultists drew their weapons and pounced on them from behind, but Julia only swept them with their scarlet snake eyes, and the magic blades in their hands turned to stone in an instant, then their arms, and finally spread all over their bodies.

"Demons!" Someone shouted in horror and turned to flee.

However, before he could take a few steps, the flames that burst into the sky from behind him consumed him completely, leaving only a wisp of charcoal ashes.

Julia, who was in the center of the flames, was covered in blood, and her snake eyes were cold as she looked at the corpses of the cultists at her feet.

If she is a demon, then these humans in front of her are undoubtedly evil gods!

Julia remembers the humans breaking into the farmer's house that took her in, threatening her with his 5-year-old daughter, and slaughtering the farmer's family after she put on a demon collar...

“......”

Unhurried footsteps sounded behind her, and Julia turned, her gaze meeting the young man who had rescued her.

At first glance, what attracted her the most was the young man's short black hair. When she was staying in the farmer's village, she had never seen a human with black hair and black eyes.

His facial features aren't as prominent as other humans, but they're very attractive, the kind of person she looks comfortable with.

"Maybe that's handsomeness in the eyes of humans, right?"

A strange thought suddenly flashed through Julia's mind.

"I didn't expect you to be so strong." Su Ye said that, frankly speaking, the reason why he decided to untie the collar of Lamia in front of him was because he valued the other party's rank and his strong hatred for the Order.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape while Lamia was fighting with the disciples, but the strength shown by the other party was far beyond his expectations...

In just a few minutes, all the worshippers present were corpses, and even Leon and Paul, who had been holding him before, were burned to ashes by the flames that spat out of Lamia's mouth as they fled.

Su Ye couldn't help but start worrying about his situation, so he stretched out his hand with a smile on his face: "My name is Su Ye."

"......" Lamia stared at him for a long time, although there was still wariness in her eyes, but she still grasped his hand with her blood-stained hand, "Julia. ”

Su Ye breathed a sigh of relief, at least the other party was still willing to communicate with him, which showed that she was still abiding by the previous agreement.

As for the vigilance in her eyes, Su Ye can understand it.

Caught here, tortured severely, and finally pushed to the altar as a "sacrifice", no one will easily trust humans anymore.

Speaking of this, Su Ye suddenly thought of something and asked, "Miss Julia, do you know where the dungeon is?"

......

......

Perhaps for convenience, the altar in the dungeon where the Elstarks held the "sacrifice" was separated by only one passage.

There were still a few disciples guarding the road, and when they saw Su Ye's face, they immediately asked vigilantly.

Su Ye was about to answer, but Julia behind him had already rushed forward, one claw at a time, and the result was their lives neatly, and Su Ye was speechless.

Of course, Su Ye didn't have a good impression of these cultists, and when he found the key from a guard to open the iron lock of the dungeon, Julia had already rushed in first.

"Julia!? Are you alright—"

A few exclamations came from the pitch-black cell, which immediately turned into bursts of sobbing.

It didn't take long for Julia to help a gray-haired old woman out of the dungeon, crying silently to express her gratitude to Su Ye.

After a brief conversation, Su Ye understood that they were all from a small village near Benin City.

A few months ago, the cult of evil gods attacked it, taking the villagers captive in a dungeon, and taking one of them to the altar every few days as a sacrifice...

Until now, most of the villagers in the dungeon have been killed by the cultists, leaving only a few old people and children and Julia, the "High Sacrifice".

"It's dangerous here, let's get out first!" After listening to the old woman's cry, Su Ye's face was a little ugly.

The cult of evil gods openly attacked the villages of the empire, but to this day, no news has come out... That sent hairs down his spine.

But now is not the time to think about that.

After Su Ye pacified the villagers, he let Julia walk in front, and he went back to the room to bring the magic crystal and the wooden sword.

The group made their way down the winding road towards the ground, encountering several waves of cultists along the way, all of whom Julia killed without hesitation.

Su Ye estimated that as long as he didn't encounter the protector who had kidnapped him before, it would not be difficult to escape from the cave with Julia's strength.

Fortunately, the group never met the powerful protector again, and the guards in the cave were more relaxed than expected, and under Julia's protection, they finally walked out of the cave and returned to the forest without danger.

Su Ye opened the Augur network, marked the location of the cave on the map, and asked the villagers, "Do you have a place to go back now?"

Seeing the villagers shaking their heads, Su Ye hurriedly said, "I know a camp where I can take you in, why don't you come with me?"

As he spoke, he looked at Julia, who had remained silent.

Julia looked at Su Ye with bright eyes, and after a while, she finally nodded: "I'll go with you."
