I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Then Xiao saw his captain struggling and shouting as Yuhaka held his collar in his mouth.

"Whoa?! What are you doing, you little brat?! Why did you pick me up?! Put me down right now!"

Xiao was stunned when he saw this, and the people present were also dumbfounded.

Chapter 753 [Scarlett's Alliance Contract with the Four Gods]

After Yuhaka and the others captured Xiao and the others, Claire looked at Xiao and Lin Fu. At this time, Xiao and Lin Fu looked a bit disheveled, as if they had been attacked by some wild beast.

Yuhaka, standing next to Lin Fu, sniffed at her. Lin Fu, who was being sniffed, hugged herself and looked at Yuhaka with a strange expression, saying:

"What's wrong with this child? Why is he smelling me all this time?!"

In response to Lin Fu's question, Yuhaka, who was smelling Lin Fu's scent, replied:

"The short, stout guy smells like a stinky elf. OwO"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Lin Fu's forehead veins bulged, and she shouted at Yuhaka:

"Who are you calling short and stout?! And what do you mean by 'stinky elf'?!"

After hearing Lin Fu's words, Yuhaka stood next to Lin Fu with his head held high and chest out. He even gestured with his hand above Lin Fu's head. Seeing Yuhaka's actions, Lin Fu noticed that she was slightly shorter than Yuhaka, and she suddenly felt a little doubtful about her life.

Meanwhile, Claire and the others chatted with Xiao. Although they were enemies before, Yuhaka smelled the stench of elves on the two of them, which was the smell of demon elves. After learning that Xiao and the others had encountered demon elves and had not seen Baiya and the others, Claire believed that they had been attacked by members of the Purgatory Apostles who had kidnapped Fiana. What Xiao said was also what Claire and the others thought. They had indeed suffered losses because of the Purgatory Apostles.

"The witch of the Purgatory Apostle?"

Hearing Xiao's answer, Claire looked a little confused, clearly not quite sure. Xiao then explained to Claire:

"It's that elf named Sarah Kahn among the Purgatory Apostles."

After hearing Xiao's answer, Claire also knew who the person Xiao called a "witch" was: the first princess of the Alpha Theocracy, and a demon spirit wielder who was also known as the "Successor of the Twilight Witch." However, Claire and the others scoffed at the news, as they had seen firsthand what their academy principal's fighting style was like.

Without a doubt, he is the kind of swordsman who fights his opponent honorably, while Sarah is at best a scheming and treacherous person.

Claire stroked her chin and looked at Xiao curiously, asking:

"So, Sarah disguised herself as one of you and then suddenly summoned a large number of demonic spirits to attack you before you had recovered from the battle?"

Xiao nodded in agreement. Seeing Xiao nod, Claire also learned a little about Sarah Kahn. Not only could she transform into other people, but she could also completely imitate the moves and techniques used against spirits?

Claire wasn't quite sure how exactly it would be imitated or what conditions were involved. She was a little worried about what would happen if Yuhaka was imitated. If Yuhaka was imitated, they would have a hard time dealing with it.

"So what are your plans next?"

Hearing Claire's question, Linf, who was being pestered by Yuhaka, pressed her cheek against Yuhaka's and said to Claire and the others:

"Of course, it's about taking our companions' magic stones from the witch! Lau's, Hakuya's, and Rinne's. Even if we take back their magic stones, they won't be resurrected as losers, but at least we'll have to support them."

Xiao, who was standing to the side, broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing Lin Fu's words and said awkwardly:

"Supplies... Hey, Lady Lin Fu, they're still alive...!"

Claire, who had her arms crossed, looked at Linf with a somewhat speechless expression and said:

"Just the two of you? That's a bit much, but don't the Four Gods have the strength to fight the Apostles of Purgatory right now?"

"Waaah... I, I..."

Seeing Lin Fu stammering and unable to speak, Claire knew that Lin Fu had no plan.

Claire, looking at Xiao and Lin Fu, suggested:

"Hey, I have a proposal. How about we join forces to deal with the Apostles of Purgatory?"

Hearing Claire's words, Lin Fu was also taken aback. Indeed, given their current situation, it would be extremely difficult to retrieve their companion's magic stone from the witch, the Apostle of Purgatory. However, with Claire and the others, they might have a chance to defeat the Apostle of Purgatory...

Seeing Lin Fu deep in thought, Xiao, who was standing next to her, said to her captain:

"Lady Lin Fu, I think it would be better to agree. After all, it would be quite difficult for me to defeat that witch by myself. Besides, after fighting with Youyou and the others, I feel that they are trustworthy people."

Looking at Xiao, Lin Fu, with her hands pressed against Yuhaka who was sticking out her little tongue and trying to lick her face, said with a puzzled expression:

"Is this really someone who can be trusted?"

Seeing Xiao looking at him with a suspicious expression, Xiao immediately scratched his cheek awkwardly and said:

"Well... Youyou is still a child, Lady Lin Fu won't hold it against a child, will she...?"

Hearing Xiao's words, Lin Fu also looked at Yuhaka, who had an "OwO" expression, with a slightly disgusted look and said:

"Hmm... let's do it the way Xiao agreed..."

After receiving Lin Fu's consent, Xiao also extended his fist and bumped fists with Claire, who was standing next to him, and said:

"Then it's decided, the alliance between Scarlet and the Four Gods is formed!"

Then, as if remembering something, Claire looked at Lin Fu and the others and said:

"By the way, do you know where the Purgatory Apostles' stronghold is?"

Upon hearing Claire's question, Xiao explained to Claire:

"If it's about locking onto the enemy's location, as long as there's a shrine or a spring filled with spiritual energy, Lady Linfu can use [Mind Vision], and that should allow her to pinpoint the witch's exact location."

"Nesight... I remember that's the highest-level ritual magic, isn't it? It's really amazing..."

After hearing Claire's words, Lin Fu put her hands on her hips and said with great pride:

"Hmph, so you're looking at me differently? Well~ is that... wow?!"

After Lin Fu lowered her guard against Yuhaka, Yuhaka pounced on her, pushed her to the ground, and licked her cheek.

"Hey?! Get this brat away from me! Ah—! Lick my face?!"

Seeing Lin Fu with tears in her eyes, leaning against Yuhaka, everyone could only manage a helpless smile.

Chapter 754 [Happy New Year]

While Yuhaka and the others were using Linf's ritual magic to search for Fiana's whereabouts and the location of the Purgatory Apostles' stronghold.

In some ruins..........

tick-

The cold touch of water droplets falling on her cheeks made Fiana, who was in a coma, open her eyes.

At this moment, Fiana was also in a hazy state of consciousness. However, she looked around and, through her observation, she found that she seemed to be in a cave. Although it was a cave, traces of man-made construction could still be seen.

Large blocks of elven ore were placed on all four sides, emitting a dim light that illuminated the entire cave.

"Why am I here?"

Fiana felt a sharp pain in her head, and then she seemed to remember something.

Fiana remembered that she had gone with Linslet to deal with the barrier problem, but then they were suddenly attacked by a group of demon elves. At that time, Linslet told her to quickly return to the base and ask for support.

She then retreated under the cover of Linslet. Not long after, she encountered Alice wielding a long spear. She quickly ran over and saw Alice raising her spear and thrusting it at her.

Why would Alice suddenly attack her? Fiana was completely bewildered and had no clue what was going on...

Just as Fiana was about to move her body, she suddenly found that her hands were handcuffed to metal shackles and firmly nailed to the rock wall.

"Huh? Huh?! What's going on?!"

Finding herself with her hands tied to the rock wall, Fiana hurriedly tried to break free of the chains, but all she got in return was the ear-piercing sound of the chains rattling.

After struggling for a while and realizing she couldn't break free, Fiana sighed and gave up. Just then, a strange voice came from the darkness.

"Hoo hoo, are you awake, Your Highness?"

Upon hearing other people's voices, Fiana immediately became alert, although it was futile for her to be so vigilant at that moment.

"who is it!?"

As a figure emerged from the darkness, Fiana looked at it with surprise and said:

"You are—Sarah Kahn, the vice-captain of the Alphas Theocracy's [Apostles of Purgatory]?!"

Upon seeing Sarah, Fiana realized that she had been kidnapped by the Apostles of Purgatory.

Thinking about all this, Fiana realized that she was dragging the team down.

Seeing Fiana biting her lip in regret, Sarah looked very interested and lifted Fiana's chin, saying:

"Whew...that's a great expression, it's really exciting~"

“…I’m sorry, but I’m not worth being a hostage, Sarah Kahn.”

Upon hearing Fiana's words, Sarah chuckled as if amused, and whispered in Fiana's ear:

"Be proud of yourself, you are the most powerful candidate to serve the Demon King as the Dark Elf Princess."

"The Dark... Elf Princess?"

Upon hearing these unfamiliar words, Fiana frowned. Although she didn't understand their meaning, Fiana instinctively felt disgusted...

Seeing Fiana's puzzled look, Sarah smiled seductively and explained to Fiana:

"The so-called Dark Elf Princess is the title of the priestess who serves the Dark Elf King. Of course, I won't go into details, since this is not something that can be publicized casually."

Fiana glared at Sarah when she heard her words and said:

"How did you come to the conclusion that I could become the Dark Elf Princess...?"

Although Fiana didn't know what Sarah and the others' purpose was, it was important to figure out the Purgatory Apostles' goal now.

Regarding Fiana's question, Sarah stroked Fiana's slender neck and said:

"I don't know, but that's what the dark elf said."

Dark elves? Who?

Fiana was very puzzled by Sarah's words, since she didn't know who the dark elf Sarah was talking about was.

Even so, her intuition as a priestess told her that it wasn't just a dream.

"Therefore, let both your body and soul become my possessions..."

After saying that, Sarah's fingertips slid across Fiana's neck and then touched her forehead.

The next instant, Fiana felt her consciousness being eroded, a feeling of being completely smeared came from her brain, and Fiana immediately let out a scream.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!"

Although it was extremely painful, Fiana knew very well that if this continued, she would probably be completely dominated even to the depths of her mind.

However, for the priestesses of the Divine Ritual Institute, upholding their spiritual discipline is also a required course. So, Fiana severed her consciousness and fainted instantly.
