Chapter 207: Aftermath (Part 2)
Hearing that Hanjun had met the God of Darkness, Radolf's eyes were lit up, and all the members of the Order of the Shattering Light turned their gaze toward Hanjun.
They wanted to hear anything about their Lord even though it was from their enemy.
Hanjun stroked his chin and thinking carefully, "There wasn't much to say. He just showed me some things. Too bad I still don't know why the God of Darkness wants to destroy the world."
Radolf shook his head, agreeing with the God of Darkness's will, "Does the God of Darkness need a reason to destroy the world? He does it simply because he wants to."
Flower Deer looked at him and suddenly asked, "If the God of Darkness wants to destroy the world, wouldn't you also be destroyed? Why aren't you upset and still support this idea?"
Radolf puffed out his chest and replied, "You will never understand our Lord's thoughts."
"As far as I know, the God of Darkness helped create all the races except humans, like the dragons, dwarves, elves, and now the demons. They were all so powerful, but they slowly disappeared in the long history, while humans, although they were so weak, they became the rulers of the world."
Master PungPong whispered to Spicy Flavor Fairy, "So what does that mean?"
Spicy Flavor Fairy whispered back, "It means... he doesn't want humans to exist anymore."
Hearing their whispering, Hanjun couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Whatever the reason, he was sure the God of Darkness didn't want to destroy the world for that reason.
The Order of the Shattering Light had just imagined too much.
Radolf's eyes sharpened, "You… you're mocking our Lord's will! I, I…"
Looking at Hanjun, he couldn't finish his words and had to shut his mouth.
He didn't dare to offend Hanjun.
Flower Deer and the others, unable to get a convincing answer, shrugged their shoulder and didn't ask any more questions.
Radolf hesitantly asked, "When we get out of the Abyss Zone, what do you plan to do with us?"
Master PungPong thought for a while, making Radolf feel nervous.
Then he turned his head to ask, "Hanjun, what should we do with them after we leave the Abyss Zone?"
Hanjun replied casually, "Take them back to Ulon City and send them to the ironworks for hard labor."
Master PungPong laughed happily, "Alright~"
Radolf's face turned very pale, and he stammered weakly, "How dare you! My father is a Duke!"
Master PungPong responded, "Then let your father come and pay your ransom. Let's see if he knows that you went into the Abyss Zone."
Radolf couldn't say anything.
Of course, his father didn't know.
His father never allowed him to get involved in these things, but Radolf had always hidden it from him.
If his father found out, he would surely get a beating.
He kept silent, and Master PungPong and the others didn't bother talking either because the demons had caught up with them.
So, they had to keep moving while facing the demons that occasionally caught up.
They suffered quite a bit along the way.
Fortunately, the demons that were chasing them weren't very high level, and they didn't encounter any high-level demons like the Ogre Knight.
They only suffered minor injuries and managed to keep going by casting healing spells and using potions.
Radolf noticed that only Master PungPong and his team were fighting along the way.
Hanjun had no intention of joining in, which made him suspicious.
Could it be that because Hanjun had fought with their Lord and got injured, so he wasn't planning to fight?
Radolf tried to stir up trouble between Hanjun and Master PungPong, but Master PungPong just looked at him with a "Are you an idiot?" expression and didn't bother explaining.
He only muttered, "If I let the NPC kill the monsters, the experience points wouldn't be mine. Isn't this better?"
Besides, he had earned plenty of experience during this trip and even learned two skills from Hanjun.
The main quest gave a lot of experience and rewards, making this trip really worth it.
And they discovered such a great place to level up.
Next time they come here, they'll make sure to bring more food and potions.
Grinding here earned a lot of experience points.
The only downside was that it wasn't a very safe place, and if they weren't careful, they could die at any moment.
But since Radolf was an NPC and didn't understand these things, it wasn't worth arguing with him about it.
After half a month, Hanjun and his group finally made it out of the Abyss Zone.
As they were approaching Ulon City, Master PungPong stretched and said, "We finally made it out. The Abyss Zone is really not a place for people to stay. All I want now is to go back and drink a bottle of Chupa Chups."
Radolf was forced to follow behind them as they made their way back to Ulon City.
Standing on the hill where they had left, Master PungPong exclaimed, "What happened here?"
They saw that the demon army had retreated quite a bit.
The ground had turned black, and there were corpses everywhere, as if some shocking battle had taken place.
Looking around, Ulon Town was just fine, unchanged from when they had left.
Instead, it was the demon army that looked like they had suffered heavy losses.
Seeing this, Hanjun knew that Hallyne and his group had returned.
He smiled slightly and said, "Looks like the reinforcements have arrived."
Master PungPong and his group, who spent all their time fighting monsters, still didn't know what had happened in Ulon Town.
They chased after Hanjun and asked, "Reinforcements? What kind of reinforcements do we have?"
Hanjun didn't explain, but Spicy Flavor Fairy quickly replied, "Why don't you go back and see it by yourself?"
Master PungPong scratched the back of his head, feeling a bit silly in response to that answer.
Behind them, a group of the Order of the Shattering Light, including Radolf, were tied up and being led along.
