Supreme Harem Hunter

Chapter 157 Turn of Events.

Ban and Zoon hugged each other for a second, then let go of each other, ending it quickly as they had something important in their hands now.

"Mother, I missed you too, and I want to talk about a lot of stuff, but I think we don't have that time." Ban said, forcing a smile on his face. He turned around to look at the people who were giving their lives to protect this town.

Zoon nodded her head, agreeing with Ban. Then she suddenly asked. "Ban, are you the only one who came here?"

"No, many came to help." Ban looked ahead with a smirk. "Especially that guy."

A sword streaked through the horde, killing anything it touched. Many people were dumbfounded as to who this person was, and when they looked carefully, they saw it was a somewhat skinny boy with pale skin.

"Who is he?' Zoon was surprised by the swordsmanship and the power behind each strike that boy made.

Ban said while shrugging his shoulders. "Just a friend I made recently. His name is Jack, a resident of this town."

"Anyway, I am off to help, mother." Then he vanished from his spot.

A smile appeared on Zoon's face, seeing her son finally calling someone friend. She was worried that he would always be alone, as he didn't have the heart to know someone from childhood.

'I don't know where Bac is. I hope he is fine.' Deeply thinking of Ban made her remember her youngest son, for whom she didn't know where he went.

…

Outside of the northeast side wall.

"Hold them down! Don't falter!" Bast's loud shout reverberated through the battlefield, boosting the morale of the ones who were guarding.

Brustiar, Julie, the ancestors, and the elders attacked with their all, stopping the strong ones from entering the town. They had also arrived at this place just now and quickly helped the remaining people who were trying their hardest to guard.

Julie froze her enemies and looked ahead, where Nascent Soul Realm enemies started popping out. 'This is going to be hard for us. We don't have a high-level combat powerhouse here. Fortunately, the highest is only at the Fifth Stage Nascent Soul Realm.'

Julie made a rough estimation of the situation by looking at the battlefield's situation. She felt they were in a dire state too, but they could at least cope up with the current numbers.

On the right side, close to the forest, Nik was fighting a group of Golden Core Realm enemies.

In the midst of his killing, from the corner of his eye, he noticed multiple shadow silhouettes in the forests, heading toward his direction.

Nik quickly backed away in fear and concern so as not to get ambushed.

Slowly, he was able to see who these people were. His eyes widened when he saw the mindless cultivators chasing a girl with fox ears and slightly tattered clothes.

This girl was none other than Jasmine. She looked ahead in delight, after seeing Nik. She knew she had finally arrived at her destination.

Jasmin sprinted straight into the horde that was chasing Nik and jumped above them. The beasts underneath her raised their heads and were about to attack when her body turned into black liquid, quickly merging with the shadows under the horde.

Nik became dumbfounded by this situation as he knew he had to contend with her chasers that were left behind. 'Shit!'

Nik, who was a stoic-faced guy that stole many maidens' hearts, was now cursing for the absurdity he was put into.

Julie, who was fighting, all of a sudden got inside her head. 'Fiona, don't panic, it's me, Jasmine.'

Using a giant [ Ice Lotus ] to freeze her enemies, Julie asked. 'Jasmine, where are you?'

'I am currently hiding.'

'Oh, but why are you here?'

'I got ambushed, the mastermind behind all of this, she knows my presence.'

Julie's eyes widened in shock when she heard that. She knows Jasmine's ability, as she might also miss her presence if she didn't focus on her surroundings. But Jasmine was found so easily, meaning the mastermind was aware of her every time.

Because from what she could guess, there were many scouts who went to find the source of this, but few came back alive, and they were not targeted specifically. However, this only happened with Jasmine. Meaning the mastermind had something against her or she knows Gale and their secrecy.

'Jasmine, forget about that now. You are here, and I am present to save you from anything. We should try to defend this place first, the situation is not good currently.'

'Thank you, Julie.'

'Want to give a hand?'

'Sure.'

Just as Jasmine finished saying that, she emerged out of a beast's shadow and swiped her sharp claws at its abdemen.

Quickly unfolding her shadow ring, she danced around the battlefield, while popping in and out of the shadows.

Her sudden performance was too eye-catching for people to ignore. Everyone looked in her direction and was surprised by her features and her ability.

"Is that a fox girl? Where did she come from?"

"It doesn't matter, she looks like an ally."

"Wait, her appearance, her powers…it matches with the features the Shadow Princess has."

It didn't take long for people to guess and know Jasmine's identity.

However, Brustiar and the Burnheart elders were dumbfounded when they laid their eyes upon Jasmine. Because they instantly recognized who she was.

'"Isn't she the servant of that rough one from our family?"

"What was he called again?"

"His name was Gale, and she is Jasmine. I can't believe they are still alive, and what are they doing here?"

No one was more confused about that than Brustiar. He looked at Jasmine with a stumped expression. 'Weren't they supposed to have run away from this town? Or they didn't even do it in the first place? They might have been hiding quietly and watching what we do. No, not only did they watch us, but they also meddled in many places.'

"Yes, that's it. Now, many things can be explained, including why our family members were dying all the time." Brustiar mumbled silently under his breath as he started to clearly picture how and why so many were murdered.

Brustiar got mad thinking of that and wanted to go take revenge for the dead, but he halted such thoughts. He knew he couldn't do such things now or he would be condemned or even excommunicated.

…

On the main battlefield.

"Well, that was slightly easier than I thought." Roy calmly commented while looking at the sea of dead bodies underneath him. He turned his head and looked at Vik, who was standing quietly in the air like him. "So, it looks like we are done here."

Vik nodded his head. "Yes, we should go help on the other side of things."

Grelia and the elders from the sect glanced silently at these two and said something in their minds. 'Monsters.'

Grelia had a slight fear breeding in her heart toward Vik and Roy, especially Vik, as he was still young and had so much more potential than Roy, despite Roy, himself, being close to the realm of those monsters.

She questioned her heart, looking at them with sadness. 'Will we ever have someone like them in the future?'

She wanted to return to their glorious days more than anyone in their clan.

Vik and Roy were about to go to the other places when suddenly they heard a shout coming from below.

"Elder Roy, look what I found." An elder from the sect waved his hand and pointed his finger down.

Roy and Vik got curious and went down. They stood before the elder and looked at where he was pointing. They found nothing but blood and intestines.

Vik asked, raising his eyebrows. "Where is it?"

The elder looked down and said, with panic and shock. "Where did it go!? I swear it was here!"

After looking around for a while, the elder calmed down and then rubbed the back of his head. "I guess I have to show the tiny bit of it that I picked earlier."

At that moment, the others had already arrived, and they were also curious about this vague description the elder was giving.

One of the elders, who was familiar with him, was rubbing her chin. 'Strange, why is he acting so weird? I have not seen him like that.'

The elder came close to Roy and pressed his hand forward to show Roy.

But Roy, along with many others, got surprised when the elder hugged Roy tightly.

"What are you doing?" Roy asked curiously and didn't use force, as he couldn't injure him just for this.

However, what Roy heard and saw next made him think otherwise. The elder looked up with his blank eyes and said to Roy. "Please die for the sake of the queen."

Roy quickly went for the killing blow, as did Vik, as they thought the elder was about to self-destruct his dantian, which would create a giant and deadly explosion.

But they were both wrong.

Bang!

The ground behind Roy suddenly exploded, and a sharp object was inserted into Roy's chest.
