Boom! Boom! Boom!
The light-golden-colored phoenix scorpion looked like it was made out of gold. As large and tough as
an adult buffalo, its two massive pincers looked like excavator buckets.
Rowan and Maximilia kept running as the scorpion continued to chase after them, destroying
everything in this way. Those ivory buildings seemed like tofu in the face of the golden phoenix
scorpion.

Such a large commotion had undoubtedly caught the attention of many demons, drowning the street in
utter chaos.
âAfter them!â
âI call dibs on that woman. I want her to bear my children!â
âGet lost! Sheâs mine!â
âIâll fight you!â
âBring it on. The winner gets to have her, and the loser has to f*ck off!â
If Maximilia knew that two ugly demons were fighting to mate with her, she wouldâve likely put up an
interesting expression. Those captured after going through the deathâs door saw this as well.
Some yelled at the teen from before, and some were filled with despair, all hoping to die together.
âMaximilia had promised never to enter this kingdom, yet she still snuck in. She hasnât even been
captured! Just look how cunning she is⦠Do you really think sheâd save us? Dream on! Sheâs probably
overjoyed that weâve been captured.â
âThatâs true! That woman is busy getting seduced by that scholar. Why would she care about our
safety? Itâd be better if they captured her too! Weâll have to stick together. Itâs good to have someone to
go down to hell with us!â
Maximilia obviously couldnât hear any of them. She took out a good number of daggers and shot them
at the scorpion. However, its shell was too tough, and her attacks were useless.
There were more demons after them now. As they got closer and closer, they looked as if they were
about to catch up. Soon, they would reach the place Rowan had mentioned.

âJordan, go get ready! Iâll hold them off for a while!â
Jordan,
Alex,
âOkay!â
The place with the formation had obviously been formed using ancient runes. The lighting was quite
nice, and Rowan could easily operate the formation.

Apart from shock, Rowan felt very sorry for the kingdom. To Jordan, however, this was all the past, and
he had no connection to it. Alder would be content as long as he could trap the demons chasing after
them by borrowing the formationâs power.

At the time, Maximilia was still struggling to hold back the demons.
Rowan adjusted the formation accordingly, then gestured towards Maximilia.

Alex
Whoosh!
Unable to bear it a second longer, the woman rushed over with a bunch of demons. The formation was
activated, trapping all the demons chasing after them.
âCan this formation kill the enemies?â Maximilia asked.
âNo, but it can restrict their movements,â Rowan replied.
