Chapter 319 An Extremely Embarrassed Lilith
Lilith lay on the bed, a faint frown appearing on her face as her eyelids fluttered open, revealing her striking blue eyes."Hm? Where am I?" She murmured, her brow creased in confusion.
She glanced up at the tent's ceiling, a sudden sense of familiarity washing over her.
"Am I... inside a tent?" Lilith's eyes widened slightly, and she was momentarily stunned.
She tried to turn her head, but a sharp pain shot through her neck. The pain spread throughout her body—from her arms and legs to her chest, stomach, and even her internal organs—as if a sword were stabbing her from the inside.
"
Hiss!
It hurts so much!" Lilith gasped, her forehead creasing deeper.
Overwhelmed by the intensity of the pain, she no longer dared to move. Instead, her gaze fixed on the ceiling above, blank and exhausted.
"Why am I like this? What happened?" Lilith whispered, her voice tinged with confusion.
Her memory was foggy, and even the smallest details eluded her. Still, she refused to give up, closing her eyes as she tried to piece together what had happened.
A sharp pain suddenly struck her head, and memories of the battlefield flooded back—visions of Arch-demon Heidel's death, the ancient magic she had chanted, and the mysterious man with a half-face mask.
As her eyelids fluttered open, Lilith felt her chest tighten and her breath catch.
"Arch-demon Heidel is dead, and we failed to win. Now, I'm no better than a cripple. How could I possibly face Sister Liliana, who placed her trust in me?" Lilith thought silently, tears welling in her eyes before they fell.
As one of the Demon generals leading the war, Lilith had carried out Liliana's trust. Now she had shattered that trust, leaving her consumed by confusion and despair.
To make matters wor
He felt as though someone was speaking ill of him. Though he didn't know who, he was certain it was Velix and his subordinates.
Convinced they were mocking him, Leon gritted his teeth, his hatred for them reaching its peak.
"Damn it! Don't think I'll let you get away with this! Your death is coming,"
Leon whispered, his purple eyes glinting coldly.
A few meters behind him, Kaelen, riding his own horse, felt an eerie chill creep up his spine.
"What the hell is this? Why do I feel such a tense chill? Or is it just my imagination?"
...
Two hundred kilometers from the heart of the Desert of Chaos lies the infamous Valley of Death, a vast expanse renowned for its grim history.
The valley earned its terrifying name from the countless lives lost within its borders.
It is said that millions, if not hundreds of millions, of lives have been lost in the valley over the past 7,000 years.
The countless casualties, of course, were the result of the unending war between humanity and the Demon race.
Aside from its ominous name, the valley is also said to be the site where the tenth Demon Emperor of the Demon race, known for his poisonous powers—Demon Emperor Jared Crimson—met his downfall at the hands of three heroes. While the details remain unverified, most believe the tale to be true.
Meanwhile, fifty kilometers from the Valley of Death, humanity's army of around 500,000 was lined up in neat formation.
At the heart of the formation, a small tent stood, where Jim, along with Natasya, Rain, Guren, Valen, and Luna, gathered inside.
"Bow Hero Luna, are you sure the Demon Emperor truly wants to see me?" Jim inquired, curiosity evident in his voice.
Luna nodded slowly, responding nonchalantly, "Yes, he specifically instructed me to bring you and the others."
Jim's eyebrows lifted slightly, a playful smile curving on his lips.
"Do you know why he wants me there?" Jim inquired again, folding his arms across his chest.
"I have no idea," Luna replied, shaking her head.
She couldn't tell Jim that the real reason she agreed to the Demon Emperor's request was simply to gather information about Leon's whereabouts.
Though she didn't understand why the Demon Emperor wanted her to bring Jim, Rain, and Natasya, she didn't really care.
As long as she could learn Leon's whereabouts, she didn't care if it meant making enemies of humanity.
Jim simply smiled at her response and refrained from asking further questions.
The tent fell into a tense silence, neither of them speaking. Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed, and a soldier clad in white armor burst through the entrance.
"Report to the leaders! A black spot has been detected in the west, heading our way. It's likely the Demon army."
Jim's smile widened as he stepped out of the tent with a calm, assured demeanor.
"Good! Then let's go meet the Demon Emperor."
