Chapter 766 - Please Spare Our Lives!
Using his tornado whirlpool, Shiba counterattacked Zu Wan's black flame fireball thus changing its direction as it was sent up the sky.
Riyu felt like crying seeing her injured comrades. Shiba was also trying his best to buy them some time in order to escape.
She thought this was a very hopeless situation. The demon god moved very fast. He could just wipe them away if he just wanted to.
But it seemed that he was controlling his power in order not to destroy the mountain. Zu Wan was minimizing the use of his fireball. Instead, he was attacking his opponents physically.
Zu Wan didn't want this world to get destroyed because of his power. And people living at the foot of the mountain might see them. He was avoiding this kind of situation.
He knew the consequences once the people in this world would know their existence. Besides, he promised Zhen-Zhen that he would never let other ordinary people see his magical power.
But Zu Wan was getting pissed by Shiba as he kept using his tornado whirlpool. It already destroyed some trees as if there was a typhoon that passed by the area.
The mountain peak of Mt. Satari was in a chaotic state now. If this continues, a landslide might happen.
Zu Wan already had enough. He didn't want to cause a problem or even the slightest trouble for Zhen-Zhen and Tristan.
With his speed, he charged in front of Shiba while dodging his tornado. Upon reaching his spot, he released his sharp claws.
In a flash, Zu Wan thrust his sharp claws deep into Shiba's stomach.
"Shibaaaa!" Riyu screamed in horror.
She saw Zu Wan's hand pass through Shiba's body. The blood was dripping out of his wound. Zu Wan's hand created a hole in Shiba's body.
"No! NO!!! Shiba!" Riyu ran in his direction while shedding tears.
Calec and Shino, who were also in their weakest state, felt shaken when Shiba collapsed on the ground.
They wanted to stop Riyu from going after him but she moved quickly. Now, they were worried that Riyu would be targeted next by the demon god.
Riyu kneeled beside Shiba, gathering him in her arms while trying to stop his bleeding by pressing her hand against his wound.
They badly needed a healer right now! Shiba might die if he wouldn't be treated right away.
Riyu continued crying as she gazed up pleadingly to Zu Wan.
"Please, spare our lives. Please, demon god. Let us go. We will not fight you anymore. We accept defeat now. Please let us go." Riyu begged him desperately. She was lowering her pride as guardian warrior as she begged for Zu Wan's mercy.
She wanted to save all her comrades. Now she realized that maybe it was a wrong move to attack the demon god who was now living in this world peacefully.
'Maybe our guardian lord was right. We shouldn't have tried killing the demon god. If we should just listen to him. But our head shaman insisted on doing this.' Riyu couldn't help but clench her fists.
She couldn't blame Mheera as well because, in the first place, they told her that they would support and help her in her every decision.
But Mheera should have been there with them, fighting alongside them. But she preferred to deceive Liam by staying by his side so that he would not suspect her.
"We've made a big mistake. Please forgive us, demon god! Please!" Riyu continued begging Zu Wan.
Zu Wan just stayed rooted in his spot. He was reminded of the past when Eva also begged the guardian warriors to spare their family and to give Zu Wan another chance.
But the guardian warriors refused to listen. If they just listened to her plea before then Eva shouldn't have died. Zhen-Zhen should have experienced having a complete family while growing up like other ordinary children.
Zu Wan still felt the hatred in his heart. He wanted to avenge Eva's death by killing these guardian warriors.
Just a while ago, they were so determined to kill him. What if he let them go and they would go back to kill Zhen-Zhen and his grandchildren. Zu Wan couldn't allow that to happen.
He was now thinking of ending things here by killing all of them. This was for Zhen-Zhen's sake.
Meanwhile, FaMo could feel what was inside Zu Wan's heart. He could tell what he was planning to do as Zu Wan was still in his fighting stance, getting ready to attack at any moment.
FaMo could see the sorry state of the guardian warriors. He understood that they had no other choice but to beg for their lives.
But Zu Wan didn't want to show any mercy as there was killing intent in his dark onyx eyes.
Zu Wan raised his sharp claws once again, charging in Riyu's direction. Riyu could only close her eyes, waiting for her fate to happen.
'Are we all going to die today? Please someone! Help us! Mheera… Guardian Lord! Please help us!' Riyu was silently praying in her mind.
A few seconds later, nothing happened to her. When she opened her eyes, the demon god was already standing in front of her with his hand raised mid-air.
FaMo stopped the demon god from killing Riyu.
"Black Fire, what is the meaning of this? Why did you stop me?" Zu Wan questioned FaMo in his stern cold voice.
"Master, please control your anger and hatred. I also want to kill them using my own hands but… we can't do that. You can't do that, Master."
"But why?"
"Because of Zhen-Zhen! She will not wish for you to kill another person. She will be heartbroken."
Zu Wan was taken aback after hearing that from FaMo. He had a point. Zhen-Zhen wanted to start over again with him. Killing someone was not included in their plan.
"This is enough, Master. They are all weakened and injured. This will serve as a lesson to them. Spare them once. If they try this again then let's make sure to kill them next time! This is their first and last warning."
"Master, let's just go back to Zhen-Zhen! Let's leave here together with Titania and Ella."
Zu Wan could only sigh in defeat. "Okay. I will do this for Zhen-Zhen."
Then Zu Wan turned to look at Riyu. "I will spare your lives but make sure you will never appear in front of me and my family ever again!"
"Yes! We promise!" Riyu responded right away, bowing her head.
Zu Wan just looked at the other guardian warriors for one last time. He also saw them bowing their heads.
Zu Wan finally controlled his anger. He calmed down. He didn't want to waste more time with them. He walked over to Ella and Titania.
He carried Titania while FaMo held Ella. Both of them disappeared as they teleported back to Tristan's Condo Unit.
That was also the time Miho came to monitor Zu Wan in Tristan's place. She was surprised to see the demon god and the black fire dragon, FaMo, carrying Ella and Titania.
"Master?! What happened? Where have you been?" Then she turned to FaMo. "Black Fire Dragon? Is that you, FaMo? Are you finally back?"
