Chapter 812
Chapter 812
When you find yourself making out with the bride to the wedding in the middle of a Demon King’s castle, there is only one option. You run. As soon as Bernard screamed my name, and the jig was up, I dropped a bunch of smoke bombs from my Inventory and ignited them. I grabbed Carmine, picked her up in my arms, and started running for the door.
Although I was much stronger than I used to be and could pick up a normal girl in my arms easily, Carmine was a large, muscular woman. Her large chest alone added many pounds, and so I found myself panting after carrying her only a few meters. I still high-tailed it to the door while the grounds exploded in confusion and surprise. I only just made it to the door when the smokescreen I had created disappeared as quickly as it had arrived.
The Demon King had managed to blow it all out a window in a matter of seconds. Just what kind of air control did that guy have to do something so easily? The elites who had been guarding us spun in embarrassment as they realized I had slipped passed them. They turned and started running toward us. Bernard was trying to give chase too, but the procession of people in the way made it impossible for him to get past.
Just as the guards finally got turned around and started sprinting toward me, there was an explosion shaking the entire room and creating even more panic. Alarms started to sound outside as an invasion of the capital began. They had arrived, and not a moment too soon.
“We’re ready!” I heard a voice suddenly break in through Slave Communication.
“About time!” I shouted out loud to no one in particular, and then I activated the device in my hand.
Since I had entered the castle, I had been dropping crystals all over the place at the orders of Xin. Once Xin got into the castle, she could activate them, and they’d each open a Portal. They functioned much like the transportation kiosk in the dungeon, and like that, hundreds of human soldiers were teleported all over the castle. The elites gave chase, but as I passed an intersection, a dozen human soldiers pounced on them, forcing the elites to stop and engage in combat. I could still hear Benard screaming from behind, but I had my mind locked on a specific location.
“My hero!” She gasped, looking at me with loving eyes. “I love you!”
“Hah… you’re going to be super embarrassed once you come back to your senses,” I responded. “Which will be happening in just a second!”
I stopped and then shoved through a door. We burst into safe room number fifty. It was the last one. I hadn’t completed it yet. Carmine in my arms suddenly went limp, causing me to kneel and put her down. When I checked her, her eyes were closed. The shock of having the miasma cleansed knocked her unconscious. This was something I hadn’t expected!
