Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

Since this has already happened, there's no need to leave this place behind. Dark Impact...

This attack didn't rush downwards, but upwards, and in just a few seconds, it had pierced through the mountain above.

Krastrom instantly appeared in mid-air. With a cold and sinister gaze, he swung his longsword with force, and in an instant, the entire mountain range containing an ancient ruin collapsed.

"Since you dared to do it, you have to pay the price. Do you think any of you can just lay a hand on this woman...?"

He gently supported Lin Xueyin with the fighting spirit palm formed by his hand. He dared not make any direct contact with this girl. He knew his Demon King too well. If he knew that he dared to touch her with his hands, he probably wouldn't be able to keep his own hands.

Volume VI: The Rebellion of Pankor: Chapter 41: The Return

"Hurry, Yukine needs our help. Let's go and support her as soon as possible."

Hundreds of cavalrymen rode tirelessly toward the mountains. When Olihirs and Maca learned that Lin Xueyin had rushed to the ruins without waiting for them to return, they were filled with fear.

That girl is far too bold. She doesn't even know what's inside the ruins, yet she dares to rush in headfirst. Isn't she afraid of getting into trouble?

When Orichalcos heard this news, he really wanted to grab that little girl whose brain was filled with who-knows-what kind of substance, give her a good spanking, and teach her a lesson.

"Damn it, this horse is so slow."

Looking at the cavalry below, Maca longed to advance quickly, but without them, she worried that once she entered the territory of Slimmed County, she would be mistaken for a spy and killed.

"Can't you guys hurry up? I'm really worried about Yukine."

Who wouldn't be worried? The problem is, this is already the fastest speed possible. Do you think we're all like you, with wings to fly freely in the sky? We can't do that kind of speed.

Filled with resentment, Orichils was also extremely agitated, constantly whipping his warhorse, but only seeking solace in his heart.

She knew that the warhorse was already at its top speed and there was no way to increase it further.

A black aura emanated from afar, gradually approaching. Maca flapped its wings in the opposite direction, slowing its speed to a stop. The numerous cavalrymen below also regained their footing as their warhorses took off.

The orderly ranks awaited the arrival of this dark aura. Ominous, fearful, and violent, it was a mixture of many things that made everyone wary of the enemy's intentions.

“Maca, you leave first, we’ll stay here and cover your retreat.”

As the maca slowly descended, Orichils had already drawn his bow and aimed at the center of the black mist ahead, ready to launch his strongest attack at any moment.

"But the enemy's intentions are hostile. If we can't fight them together, I'm worried..."

"I'm more worried about Yukine than this place. If something happens to her, none of us will be in trouble. I hope you can go and rescue Yukine first, and then come back to us."

If I were still alive then, staring intently at that black aura, Orichils had already resigned himself to death.

"Little girl, those people are here to see you, aren't they?"

The sinister smile made Lin Xueyin's heart tighten. She knew at a glance who was below, but she dared not answer. She had no idea what this person, no, this demon's purpose was. She was afraid that her answer would harm them.

"Not answering? Then I'll just wipe them out..."

"No, no, what are you trying to do? If you want to kill me, just kill me. Why do you have to make such a fuss?"

I desperately wanted to unleash the magic within me, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea – it seemed the problem wasn't there. So, where exactly was the problem...?

"You're overthinking it. You've been poisoned by the magic-suppressing herb. It will take at least a day before you can even slightly control your magic. During this time, you should just stay put."

"You... um..."

In her excitement, Lin Xueyin seemed to aggravate the wound on her back, causing her to let out a weak gasp, which instantly turned the demon marshal's face ashen.

Oh my god, if anything happens to this girl, I'll be turned into a pancake! I'm done playing, I'm done playing...

A pair of enormous demonic wings flapped as it slowly landed not far from the human cavalry and civilians. "This is the woman you've been looking for."

He raised the enormous sphere of battle aura high, and the imprisoned girl inside stared in horror at the cavalry below. This man... he wouldn't really kill them all, would he? No, absolutely not...

"Yukine..."

Staring at the severely injured girl with bloodshot eyes, her pale body devoid of color, he knew what kind of torture she had suffered. His inner rage told him that he had to rush over and save her.

However, I kept reminding myself to stay calm. Even if I rushed over, there was a high chance of problems. My biggest worry was that the other party would hesitate to act rashly.

"You, get out of here! Get out of here right now! You're no match for him, Orichils, Maca! I order you to leave immediately!"

Before they could even react, the already weakened girl slammed her limp fist into the aura barrier, causing the demon marshal's handsome face to turn even paler.

My dear lady, I was just teasing them. Please don't play these nerve-wracking games. If something bad happens, my life won't be enough to compensate.

"Hmph, since she's the one you're looking for, then here she is."

Her fighting spirit slowly moved towards the knights. As she got closer to them, Lin Xueyin felt increasingly desperate.

Yes, I'm sorry everyone. It's all my fault for being so impulsive this time. I'm so sorry everyone...

A cry of surprise rang out, and the battle aura suddenly vanished. The expected violent explosion did not occur; instead, the sound of wind whistling past their ears and the gasps of the crowd filled the air.

"Xueyin, are you... are you alright?"

The girl, held tightly by Maca, looked around in confusion, then turned to the demon marshal, Krastrum.

"What exactly is your purpose...?"

"Haha, the purpose is nothing, I just wanted to pass on a message to you."

Krastrom finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the winged woman gently holding the girl in her arms. "Be careful, her main injuries are on her back. Carrying her like that like that, be careful..."

"ah...."

Noticing Lin Xueyin's slightly furrowed brows, Maca quickly put her down, gently wrapped her arms around her waist, and let her land lightly on the ground with him.

His arms were now covered in red bloodstains, which made Krastom click his tongue in disapproval.

"How pitiful..."

"You said the Demon King asked you to deliver a message to me. So, what did the Demon King say?"

"The Demon King told me to tell you that you've been playing outside for so long, it's time to get to the end of it. Clean yourself up and wait for her to come looking for you."

"Heh, the Demon King really dares to talk back, actually washing his neck and waiting for him. We'll see if he has the ability. I've remembered what happened today. If he falls into my hands, I'll spare his life and lock him in a dark room to reflect on his actions."

Volume 6: The Rebellion of Pankor: Chapter 42: The Destruction of the City

Maca, holding Lin Xueyin in her arms, remained wary of him, even though he showed no hostility whatsoever. This wariness persisted, even after he had brought Lin Xueyin to her.

"Little girl, you're safe now, so I should be going. Oh, right, before I go, let me do one more thing for you."

"You... Krastrum, what exactly is your purpose?"

Although weak, Lin Xueyin, nestled in Maca's arms, still struggled to ask the demon marshal about her confusion: what was the purpose of this person's visit? If he was simply here to deliver a message, then why would he save her, his enemy?

If the Demon King is the one who sent the message, wouldn't it be more swift for him, the enemy, to die? Instead, he would save himself and kill all the necromancers.

"Purpose? That's ridiculous. I don't have any purpose in doing things. Just take it as a joke."

My purpose was to come and save you, but due to some unexpected circumstances, I arrived a little late. If I hadn't done more, the Demon King would probably have already rushed here.

Krastom silently wiped away a cold sweat, thinking to himself how unlucky he was to run into such a thing. If he had just behaved himself and ignored those people, perhaps this problem wouldn't have happened.

With her brows furrowed tightly, Lin Xueyin didn't feel that she posed any threat to the enemy, nor did she think that the other party had anything to hide from her, a wounded soldier. Therefore, what he said was truly credible.

I silently thought to myself, "I don't believe you for a second. You, Marshal, look like a walking lie. Just kidding, you're clearly just messing with me."

However, now that I am at their mercy, do I have a chance to give her a chance to refute him? His purpose is unclear, and I have lost all my fighting power. If I were to clash with him now, it would be courting death.

"Oh, right, I need to do something. You'll have to cooperate..."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone went on alert. However, a long sword fell from the sky and landed right in front of Krastrum's feet. He stood there with the sword on his side, his purple eyes fixed on the group of people who were watching him warily.

"Bring out all your treatment medications. I don't want this little girl to recover so soon."

"you...."

"If you disagree, then be careful you don't all die here."

He chuckled maliciously and turned his attention back to Lin Xueyin, "Do you want to suffer for a few more days, or do you want these people to die with you?"

He took a deep breath. "You all, give him all the potions. Remember, give him everything. Don't leave a single bottle for yourself."

"But, Yukine, if we do that, your injury..."

"He wants a treatment, not a hemostatic agent. I think this marshal wouldn't be interested in such a crude medicine, right?"

Nodding naturally, the other person looked at Lin Xueyin with appreciation and said, "That's right, I don't think you have many potions on you. Lin Xueyin, you drink this potion, and then have someone give me the healing potion."

Taking the potion that was tossed to him, Orichils frowned deeply, completely unsure whether he should hand it over, but then he saw Lin Xueyin's determined gaze.

"Yukine, I'm sorry, I can't..."

Black lightning struck the ground instantly, locking everyone in a cage of lightning. Krastrom watched with pleasure as the panicked human warriors before him watched. Sure enough, only that little girl remained unmoved by his power.

“If you want to show off your strength, I don’t think it’s necessary. I’ll drink that medicine.”

"Yukine..."

"Alright, give it to me. If I really wanted to harm me, I would have died long ago. There's no need for such a big fuss."

Hearing Lin Xueyin's words, Krastrum admired this clever girl even more. No wonder she was chosen by his Demon King. She was outstanding in both intellect and ability.

"Don't worry, this potion will just keep you from using magic for a few more days, and then you'll recover smoothly. Resting for a few more days will do you some good."

Of course, this is also a small lesson for your previous disrespectful remarks to His Majesty the Demon King. Seeing Lin Xueyin coughing after drinking the potion, Krastom quickly condensed his battle aura into a hand and brought the warrior furthest from him to his side.

"The potion smells amazing. What, are you planning to keep a bottle for yourself?"

"Stop. Krastrom, you've achieved your goal. We'll give you all the potions so you can..."

A vial of medicine slowly emerged from the soldier's arms, leaving Lin Xueyin momentarily at a loss for words. She sighed helplessly.

"Do as he says, all of you give him the medicine."

"My lord, in that case, your injury..."

"Don't worry, I won't die for now. You all have your own families and relatives. Don't throw your lives away for me. I'm just a nobody with a worthless life. It's not worth it for you to do this."

These words made Krastrum gasp. "A worthless life? Ask those you've ruined. Is your life worthless? Take a good look at the Nightmare Clan before you speak. Oh, right, now that this has come to light, those necromancers are probably going to be in trouble too."

"Don't worry, I only need your treatment medicine. Once I give it to you, there will be no danger to my life."

After carefully sniffing, he could no longer detect the distinctive scent of the healing potion on these people. Krastom gave Lin Xueyin a wicked smile, and with a flap of his demonic wings, he quickly flew backward.

"Little girl, don't worry, we'll definitely meet again in the future, but things might be different then. I look forward to seeing you again."

Lin Xueyin heard every word this person said clearly and distinctly, but when they were put together into a sentence, she couldn't understand anything at all. She patted her head lightly, but still had no clue what to do.
