These Familiars Are Strange

Chapter 223 - 223: Fighting the Abyss Demons

I turned to look at Iris and said, "Just say what you want to say."

Though I said this to Iris, I could see that Wang Rong also had something that he wanted to say.

After a moment of silence, she asked, "Is it really alright to let them go like this?"

I wasn't surprised at all to hear this, I had even expected her to ask this.

But instead of giving a proper answer…

With a surprised look, I asked, "I never thought that you were such a ruthless person that you demand blood that easily."

Iris looked a bit embarrassed when I said this and she started stammering, "I, it isn't like that, I just…"

"Ha, ha, ha." I couldn't help chuckling before saying, "Alright, I know what you're thinking. There's no need to be this embarrassed, I know that you're just being careful."

Then with a more serious look, I said, "But it isn't the time to be doing stuff like this. We're still new to the Abyss Guards and even if we're in the Abyss, that doesn't mean that we can do things like this that easily. We have to have a proper reason before we do anything like that."

After a momentary pause, I added, "There's no reason to make things hard for those people either. They just chose to follow the wrong person, it isn't as if they were bad people to begin with."

Iris knitted her brows slightly after hearing this, but she did nod in agreement.

Still, it wasn't hard to guess what she was thinking.

"I know what kind of person he is, so of course I didn't leave things up to chance. I know what he'll try to do, so I already made precautions. I left something on him that will tell me his location at all times, so he won't be able to try anything even if he wanted to. The moment that he comes after us, I'll immediately know about it."

Then narrowing my eyes and revealing a cold look, I said in a cold voice, "If he tries anything…Well, there's no need to be kind next time."

Iris and Wang Rong finally relaxed after hearing this.

It was as if they completely forgot about those people with the way that their expression changed.

Next, they looked at me as if they were asking, "What do we do now?"

"Let's go and chase after our targets. Since we came to the Abyss, of course we're here to take care of the Abyss Demons."

Both of them nodded in agreement before following me.

When I led the Abyss Demons away, I had also sent a few skeletal rats to watch over them. So even now, I knew exactly where the Abyss Demons were and could find them at any moment.

That was where we were currently heading.

The Abyss Demons even moved slower because they were

But before the Abyss Demons could clash with the skeletons, there were loud sounds that rang out through the air.

The Abyss Demons seemed a bit caught off guard by this, but it was already too late to stop themselves. The only thing that they could do was crush the skeletons before anything else.

Only they didn't even manage to make contact with the skeletons in the end.

The Abyss Demons that had been running forward one moment were suddenly pushed back by something the next moment.

"Ah!"

There were screams of pain that rang out while blue blood streaked through the air.

There wasn't a single Abyss Demon that wasn't injured because of whatever these things were that hit them. They were all pushed back by the things that hit them and all had wary looks when they stabilized themselves.

They held various parts of their bodies, but all of them were bleeding.

Whatever the thing was that hit them, it had penetrated their armour and had actually hurt them.

So the Abyss Demons had no choice but to be wary of whatever this thing was hiding in the shadows that had hurt them.

All of them immediately went back to where they had started and gathered together to form a defensive line.

But that was the wrong choice as the same loud sound rang out again.
