Chapter 217 Cleaning Up (16)
When my laugh rang out, the expression on Apollo's face twisted.
At the same time, the cloaked figures all turned in the direction of Apollo before they all started trembling.
There was no laughter that came out, but it was very clear why they were trembling like this. They were doing all they could to hold back their laughter.
When Apollo saw this as well, the expression on his face became even more twisted and he was filled with killing intent.
For a moment, this suppressed the strange feeling that was inside of him…but that was only for a moment.
It didn't take long for this feeling to resurge and he lost all the power that he had regained in his rage.
Once he fell down on the ground again, he lost all of that rage that he felt and he once again tried to find a way to escape.
As for what we had been laughing at…there was a small tent that had appeared in Apollo's pants and when I say small, I really meant small.
If one didn't look at it closely, they most likely wouldn't have even noticed that it was there.
But after taking that moment to laugh at Apollo, the cloaked figures calmed down and approached the elves with their swords raised again.
When Apollo saw this, he didn't even need to think to know what was going to happen next.
So without hesitation, he shouted, "My father is Donan, the head warrior of the elven kingdom! If you dare do anything to me, I can guarantee that he will never let you go!"
At the very last moment, he decided to threaten us for his life.
If it was anyone else, perhaps it would have been useful, but…these people were not afraid of this person.
They were surprised without a doubt since they had heard about Donan before, but they were no means scared of him since they were currently in a human country.
In this human country, these cloaked figures did have some power and influence.
So they didn't hesitate as they moved closer to Apollo and the elves.
Seeing that it didn't have any effect on them, Apollo couldn't help feeling fear for the first time.
It was as if for the first time, he could feel that his death was truly approaching.
For someone that had the power that he had and had been protected by the influence of his father all his life, he naturally had never felt this way before.
So the first time that he felt it…his mentality collapsed.
"Don't do it! I promise that I'll do whatever you want as long as you don't kill me!" As he said this, Apollo raised his hands to cover his head and curled up in a ball.
This was completely different from the tough act that he had before and they couldn't help being caught off guard by this.
But still, they had received their orders and they didn't hesitate to finish them.
Seeing that they were still coming closer even though he had done all of this, Apollo couldn't take it anymore and he started to run.
It was just too bad that he couldn't compare to them in his impaired state like this.
So all that he received in the end was a sword in the back.
As he laid there on the ground with blood coming out of his mouth, he turned to look at Zwein with eyes that were filled with hatred. It was as if he was cursing him to fall into the depths of hell with him.
Unfortunately for him, his gaze didn't have this power.
After Apollo had been finished off, the rest of the elves were finished off by the cloaked figures.
They didn't leave a single one of them alive.
Once all of the elves were killed, the cloaked figures took out a powder that they sprinkled over the corpses left behind.
Nothing happened at first, but then the bodies started disappearing…or rather they started dissolving into nothing but dust. During this process, there was a smell that came from the corpses being dissolved, but the cloaked figures didn't even blink since they were already used to this.
However, I wasn't as used to this as them and couldn't help taking a step back while raising my arm up to my nose to cover it.
In no time at all, all of the corpses that had been on the ground disappeared without a trace.
Once that was taken care of, the cloaked figures pulled back their hoods to reveal their appearances.
It was Shaka and his subordinates.
I had called them over during the time that we had been here using a secret method that was only available to members of Shadow Garden.
So they had rushed into the forest and found the village using secret methods as well.
They had been silently guarding me when they told me that Apollo had been hanging out around the village, as if he was waiting for something. As soon as I heard that, I could already guess what he was thinking.
That was when I had the idea to set up this trap.
But the most important thing was that if I didn't have the special item from the system, I wouldn't have been able to set up the trap.
This was one of the three items that I had received from the system as a reward last time.
Aphrodisiac.
It might have been a repeat of what I had done last time, but it was very effective.
This was a set of special aphrodisiacs that would only affect certain races and there was a full set for most of the major races in this world. The one that I had used today was the aphrodisiac that worked on elves, which was why Shaka and his men didn't feel any effects.
With the aphrodisiac weakening them like this, it was easy for me to take out Apollo and his men.
As for the feeling of hesitation over killing them…there was none.
He would have killed me if he had the chance and he had even tried to do that with this ambush, so there was no need to feel sorry about killing him.
Since he wanted to kill me, then I would do the same in kind.
Not to mention that he had been against me to begin with.
If Apollo had escaped today, there was no doubt that he would have contacted his father and brought even more trouble to me.
So death was the best way to end it all.
Once they revealed themselves, Shaka said, "I've already reported back to Scar about the demons that appeared here. He will be sending a report in a few days, so prepare yourself."
I gave a simple nod in response to this without saying anything since this was what I had already expected.
Seeing this, Shaka gave a nod as well before adding, "We'll go back to protecting your group from the shadows. Of course, we won't act unless it's absolutely necessary, so take care of yourself."
I nodded again in response to this.
Seeing this, Shaka and his group disappeared.
