Chapter 309 Quick Rescue

Raelag was not stupid. He knew very well that if the demons wanted to hide Isabel, it would definitely be in a heavily-guarded place. Especially where Xeron lived, it was most likely there.

Therefore, his initial goal was clear. He was searching for the most imposing building in the city.

In fact, he had indeed found the right place. After spending a lot of time carefully approaching a hall, he finally found Xeron’s residence.

However, when he went to investigate this place with extreme caution, he was shocked to find that no one was here!

He did not believe it and searched repeatedly. Not to mention Isabel, he could not even find any trace of Xeron.

Did I find the wrong place? Raelag was puzzled. He knew that demons had always been cunning. What if Xeron thought that assassins and spies would sneak in, so he didn’t hide Isabel in his residence?

All kinds of thoughts were running through his mind, making his head hurt. After all, they had too little information. It was normal for them not to be able to find such a blurry target after infiltrating.

Let’s look elsewhere! But when he was about to leave, he suddenly found a… winged eyeball appearing from the void.

Raelag was shocked. He thought that he had been discovered and quickly hid. But at this moment, he found the winged eyeball flying to an empty place in the back of the hall and kept circling there.

The little wings flapped, as though they were beckoning to Raelag. Don’t tell me it can see me?! Raelag was shocked and uncertain, and for a moment, he had the thought of leaving as soon as possible. But in the end, he held it in and carefully approached the winged eyeball.

Huh?! When he reached the spot where the eyeball was, he finally realized that something was wrong. Although there was nothing on the ground, there was a faint magic power fluctuation. The fluctuation was very weak, but Raelag noticed it immediately. After all, he was a warlock, a spellcaster, so he was quite sensitive to magic power fluctuations.

Is it a hidden teleportation formation? Raelag made a judgment and finally understood. He could not help but look up at the winged eyeball. He was sure that this eyeball was guiding him. However, this thing did not look like an intelligent creature but some kind of tool like a Wizard Eye. In other words, there was a hidden existence behind this thing and controlling it.

“Who are you?” Raelag appeared and asked solemnly.

However, the winged eyeball ignored him and disappeared into the air.

It turned invisible again, and this invisibility ability… is quite clever. There’s no aura left… Raelag frowned and judged. But since the mastermind was unwilling to appear, there was nothing he could do.

What should I do? Should I believe it? Raelag was a little conflicted. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth, squatted down, placed his hand on the ground, and began to output magic power.

Raelag came to save Isabel. In addition to love, he also wanted to stop the demons’ scheme, so he already had the consciousness of dying here. Regardless of who the hidden existence was and what their motive was, he had no choice.

Sure enough, after inputting magic power, the outline of a magic teleportation formation appeared on the ground, glowing with a shining brilliance. Raeleg no longer hesitated as he stepped forward to stand in it. With a flash of light, the teleportation formation activated, and his figure instantly disappeared from the hall.

His vision suddenly turned dark. It took him some time to adapt to the light before he realized that he had been teleported to… a secret underground room.

At this time, there was no one around, but there was a burning torch on the wall of the corridor. And at the end of the corridor in front, Raelag could faintly hear a voice.

Taking a deep breath, he reentered invisibility and lightened his steps while walking carefully through the corridor. At the end of the corridor was a spacious room. With the smell of sulfur and smoke entering his nose, he saw a tall demon.

That’s Xeron! Raelag immediately reacted and stood in the corner.

Fortunately, Xeron did not notice that someone had snuck in. He did not even think about it. After all, there was a massive siege outside, and all the enemies were thinking of ways to attack the city, so Xeron was confident that no enemy could enter the city before the demon army was utterly annihilated.

At this moment, Xeron was standing beside the altar where Isabel was. His hands were shining, and he was transferring the life force of the living sacrifices at his feet to Isabel.

To be precise, he was transferring it to the fetus in Isabel’s womb…

The sacrifices kneeling beside the altar had dark elves, humans, dwarfs, and elves, but all of them were dazed and seemed to have lost consciousness. Under Xeron’s sacrificial ritual, these sacrifices were sucked dry and eventually disintegrated and turned into dust.

Seeing this scene, Reger did not have any angry thoughts. He carefully suppressed his emotions and kept himself calm as he looked at Isabel on the altar.

Only at this moment did Raelag realize that what Demon Osiris said was all true. His beloved Isabel was already pregnant with the child of Demon Sovereign Kha-Beleth. Moreover, judging from her bulging stomach, this child was about to be born…

Looking at Isabel’s condition, Raelag felt that it would be extremely difficult if he wanted to rescue her and escape. Looking at Isabel’s big belly, he was afraid that problems would soon occur under the intense exercise. They probably would be unable to run far.

According to the thinking of the dark elves, the best choice at this moment was not to assassinate Xeron but to directly stab Isabel and the child in her stomach to death. This way, not only could it prevent the birth of the Dark Messiah, but it also eliminated any measures the demons could take to remedy the situation. It could completely defeat the demons’ scheme.

But… the one who came here was Raelag, a man who loved Isabel deeply, and he could not make such a cruel decision.

In the shadow in the corner of the wall, the Demon Eye that Roy had left here the last time was silently observing everything in the secret room. Roy, who was far away underground, was also interested to see what Raelag was going to do.

Raelag moved. He carefully controlled his steps and slowly approached the altar.

When he came behind Xeron, he decisively took out a sharp black blade and stabbed it at Xeron’s back with all his might.

As the sharp blade coated with poison dragon saliva was about to stab Xeron, an astonishingly vast amount of magic power suddenly appeared in the secret room and instantly suppressed Raelag to the ground! “Damn little rat. Finally waited until you appeared!” Demon Sovereign Kha-Beleth’s voice echoed in the void of the secret room.

Xeron, who was still performing the sacrificial ritual, was shocked. He turned his head and saw Raelag. At the same time, the projection of Demon Sovereign Kha-Beleth appeared in the secret room above Isabel’s altar.

“What’s going on?! How did a dark elf come in?!” Xeron was clearly confused.

“This accursed fellow. Xeron, you disappoint me too much!” Kha-Beleth roared angrily. “After you left last time, I vaguely felt that something was wrong. There seems to be something else in this room, so I’ve been secretly observing this place. As expected, I finally caught it. It’s actually a dark elf assassin! Xeron, if it weren’t for me, you probably wouldn’t even know if someone killed you!”

“Sorry, Sovereign Kha-Beleth!” Xeron broke out in cold sweat and quickly bowed his head. “This is my fault!”

Roy could not help but feel his heart jump when he heard what Kha-Beleth said through the Demon Eye. Although he had completely eliminated the aura and traces of magic power from the Demon Eye, he did not expect Kha-Beleth to be so sensitive and vaguely sense something. Fortunately, he had been keeping the Demon Eye motionless in a corner. Otherwise, he would have likely been long discovered.

On the other hand, Raelag was unlucky. It seemed that Kha-Beleth mistook him for the infiltrator from the last time… This black pot was not light…

“Next time, I will throw your soul into the sun and burn it for ten thousand years!” Kha-Beleth gnashed his teeth. “Now, let’s look at this damn little rat! Hmm, a familiar smell. It seems like we’ve met someone familiar… Oh, Agrael, I didn’t expect it to be you, the traitor! How strange. You’ve actually changed back to the status of a dark elf. You’ve purified the demon bloodline in your body?”

“Kha… Kha-Beleth!” Raelag was currently being suppressed by Kha-Beleth’s magic power. With his face pressed against the ground, he said with difficulty, “Your scheme won’t succeed!”

“Hmph. What do you think you can do?” Kha-Beleth said disdainfully.

“Stop you!” After Raelag said this angrily, he used all his strength to break free from Kha-Beleth’s suppression. The magic power that was already ready to burst surged out, turning into a giant fireball that flew toward Isabel on the altar!

Seeing this, Kha-Beleth exclaimed in alarm, but what he said was, “Protect Isabel!!!”

Kha-Beleth’s figure was only a projection. He did not have a physical body, and the magic power transmitted from the void could not respond accurately. The only person here who could stop Raelag was Xeron.

Therefore, Xeron did not even think about it and directly blocked the path of the fireball!

Due to the assassination earlier, the distance between him and Raelag was very close. Xeron hastily blocked the fireball but did not have time to arrange any protection, so the moment he came into contact with it, he was blasted flying in a deafening explosion!

The explosion of the fireball caused the entire basement to shake violently. Not only was there smoke in the secret room, but rubble streamed down, looking as though the room was about to collapse.

Raelag had cast this fireball with actual purpose. He deliberately attacked Isabel because he knew that Xeron would definitely save her. After Xeron was sent flying, he immediately rushed over and cut off the bindings on Isabel’s wrist. He picked her up with both hands and turned around to escape into the corridor.

After quickly reaching the teleportation formation, he input magic power and instantly teleported, disappearing from the secret room…
