Chapter 232 Let's Execute The Mission [Pt 2]
Her subordinates were currently staring at her with a mix of confusion and dread. That was because the smile on her face had slowly morphed into something grim and forbidden.
Not only was it enough to stop the torture she was about to inflict on the 'Asa' Elf-girl, but it also halted her berating of the Elf Chief.
Nothing screamed of worse news than that.
"Hey… are you sure those Demons were nobodies?" Zerci said, her gaze pointed at Jessop, who was one of the only two who had seen them.
Apparently, Red was still brooding.
"Yeah… I mean, they were no match for me. They only got Red because he was careless, so…"
"Then why am I sensing something off? Especially from this distance? Something is definitely off." She narrowed her eyes.
Zerci always knew to trust her instincts. That was how she had made it this far, after all.
"Both of you… Red and Jessop, go and patrol the village or something."
The two exchanged curious glances. Their expressions showed that they clearly wanted to ask something along the lines of "Why?" but they swallowed their inquisitions.
"Yes, ma'am!"
With that, Jessop teleported both himself and Red, leaving the rest of the Supervisors in the room. And, of course, the three Elven captives remained.
"The uneasy feeling hasn't left." She glanced at Asa and narrowed her eyes. "Guess your torture will have to wait."

eαglesnᴏνel Hogun and Adu emerged from the Elf Village, the once-captive elves trailing a geat distance in front of them in an organized frenzy. One would think their village had been under siege by a horde of monstrous creatures due to the way they marched away.
As the demon pair began their departure, the air around them seemed to quiver with an unnatural energy. Space itself warped and twisted, causing Hogun and Adu to halt in their tracks. They exchanged a quick glance, their eyes gleaming with an understanding that transcended words.
It was all going according to Heshu's plan.
Abruptly, a surge of dark power manifested a short distance away, giving form to two imposing figures. The red portal cackled, and out of it emerged Red and Jessop.
"Well… I guess it had to be these two…" Adu was the only one to speak, with Hogun merely grunting.
What were the odds that the two Supervisors they encountered not too long ago now stood before them?
"You two…" Red's eyes blazed with fiery determination as he spoke while Jessop's sharp, calculating gaze hinted at a mind adept at strategizing.
The latter remained silent, though his lazy eyes still watched them like a hawk.
"It seems she was right, after all. You two are up to no good…" He whispered. "Where's the third one?"
Hogun and Adu didn't respond to the question, but rather shrugged.
"Hey! He asked you a question!" Red growled, already rising beyond the level of his patience.
The two pairs of demons faced each other, an air of tension enveloping the space between them.
After some time of silence, Hogun finally broke it. "What are you two doing here? Pretty sure we snuck in as skillfully as we could."
Red's voice instantly boomed, filled with dark amusement. "It seems fate has delivered us an opportunity for a little... reckoning. I haven't forgotten what you two idiots did to me. Especially you…"
His glare was focused on Hogun.
Adu's lips curled into a sinister smile, his voice dripping with subtle menace. "Indeed, Red. It appears our paths intertwine once more. Pfft."
Jessop's eyes narrowed as he stepped forward, his voice smooth and measured. "Our leader is quite a perceptive one. I really shouldn't have spared your lives. I won't be making that mistake again, though."
"Is that so?" Adu was especially annoyed because the Supervisor was still looking down on him. As if it wasn't enough that they had a human as their master.
This added salt to his injury.
>WHOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSHHHHHH!!!<
Without warning, Red charged, his demonic energies erupting around him. Hogun stepped forward to receive his massive blow, causing a loud impact that sent echoes flying around.
The clash of power reverberated through the air, each strike leaving visible traces of darkness and fire. The ground trembled beneath their feet, as if the very earth feared their might.
Hogun met Red head-on, their fists clashing with a thunderous impact. In no time, they began a quick dance in the melee. The ground cracked beneath their feet as they traded blows, their movements a dance of deadly precision. Each strike resonated with the force of their convictions, their rivalry fueling their ferocity.
"Well, it looks like that leaves just me and you…" Jessop muttered as he watched Adu keenly.
"I wouldn't have it any other way. Try me!" In a flash, Adu covered himself in his dark energy and caused himself to float.
Adu, now wreathed in spatial energy, instantly vanished from the battlefield already dominated by the powerful strikes of Red and Hogun, and Jessop followed.
**********
Arcane sigils blazed in the air as they weaved intricate patterns, casting spells that twisted space itself. Adu's control over the dark elements of space clashed with Jessop's dark arts, their spells colliding in a symphony of destructive power.
"Oh? I didn't think you had such skill. Were you hiding your power from me before?" Jessop smiled, his dark aura increasing to compensate for his obviously inadequate power; at least, compared to Adu.
"I'll show you not to underestimate me! Kekeke! I can finally go all-out!" Cackling like a madman, Adu summoned a maelstrom of his dark orbs, going crazy with the excess demonic energy he had.
"W-whoa…" Jessop was forced to drop his jaws as he witnessed them appear in their hundreds. "This is… quite a lot."
"Let's give it all we got, cheap knockoff! Hahahahaaha!" Adu screamed, drowning in his power. "I've been so frustrated, you know?"
A dark purple spark emerged from his eyes, and the expression of death covered his face.
"It's time to vent a little!"
