Chapter 53: Who are you?

Larry, Emma and Theo's PoV

"Arrrgggg!" A scream of pain escaped from a Shadow Imp's mouth before Larry as his Mana Strike pierced the Imp's body. But he couldn't be relieved yet because there are still a lot of imps ahead of them. His sweat was pouring out as he started to breathing heavily, he even could feel his MP getting low.

Theo's and Emma's condition were not much different from him either. Both of them gasped for breath as their MP started to run out.

They retreated and pressed their backs against each other, their hands on the Imps that surrounded them, their hearts were pounding.

"Hey, when the reinforcements arrive?" Larry asked Theo. Theo was the first person who received this mission from the headquarters. The headquarters said that they would immediately send in the reinforcements for them since this is a large scale attack, but they had not arrived yet.

"Shut your mouth, snail! Just keep fighting!" said Theo in a stern tone. But despite his words, his eyes looked around in caution. He was actually not sure they could beat this Imp army. There were about a hundred Imp when they came and they were already luring the Imp little by little to defeat them more easily. But in the end, the Imps discovered their strategy and surrounded them.

Meanwhile, Emma remained silent as she continued to pay attention to her surroundings. Her mind returned to yesterday's incident. Although she didn't tell anyone about Damian's ability, to be honest, she was quite curious how he could defeat demons without using any skill. Because she had to admit the demon hunter's weakness was once their MP depleted, then they wouldn't be able to fight back. All they could do was run away. As for Damian, he could continue to fight to the death, just like her mentor. Yes, Mr Renart was known as the best demon hunter because he could fight without relying on his MP, he could kill demons just by relying on his strength, just like Damian. That's why she was so interested in Damian when she saw him fight.

The Imps around them grinned and started to approach, while they got ready to cast their skills but suddenly some black lances fell from above the Imps, crashing on them like rain. In an instant, some of the Imps' bodies turned into ashes, while a hissing sound was heard from some of the Imp that had collapsed in front of them. A few seconds later their bodies also turned into ashes. The Imps swept their gaze around in confusion.

"What is that ?!" said Larry spontaneously. Just like those Imps, their eyes also swept around in confusion, trying to find out a clue.

"I do not know!" replied Theo. But from the black lances, they could confirm it wasn't a demon hunter.

They froze as their eyes stared around them in shock, confusion and fear. Their hearts were beating even faster. Even though this person killed the Imps but that doesn't mean this person is their friend, he could be their enemy.

"Hey! Show yourself!" shouted Larry, trying to provoke him.

No answer.

"Hey! Are you deaf ?!" again, Theo tried to provoke him and still had no answer.

"Sir, if you are a friend, please answer us," said Emma. She knew Larry and Theo were talking too harshly to him, so she tried to be nice.

But still no answer.

After a while they waited, they finally lowered their hands since no one or no answer came. But one for sure, it looks like this guy didn't want to attack them because if he wanted to do it, he should have attacked them along with the Imps. On the other hand, their Demon Compass didn't react anymore, showing that the black lances weren't from a demon.
