Chapter 246: The Offer

Rong was feeling happy that he was left alive. If he wasn't killed, he could still survive and get healed.

Unfortunately, Gabriel had something else in mind. Just because he gave Olivia an opportunity to decide didn't mean he was going to let him live if she did.

Gabriel crushed Rong's skull without thinking twice. He didn't care what happened to Rong here.

The youngsters reached the exit of the town, only to find their armies there. Xin had never seen so excited to see her army as she was now. These people had finally caught up to them.

He ran to them to tell them everything and ask for their help in saving Rong. Unfortunately, as soon as she stepped out of the town premise, she saw a sea of flames rising from the ground that covered her entire army.

The Mages hadn't expected an attack out of nowhere.

Seeing a huge sea of fire cover her men, Xin and her friends were frozen in place. What was happening here? Just what? How could someone use a spell on such a large scale? And that too, this powerful? Shouldn't only someone on the same level as the Head Priests of Churches be able to do something like that?

She could only hear screams coming from the sea of flames. She was horrified, dropping to her knees. Just what was happening? Just what was this scary sight? So far, she had only heard of the past glories of the Church of Darkness and how strong they were. Was this their true strength? They were so strong? Did they really underestimate them?

Since the Mages weren't expecting to be attacked in such a small town, they hadn't taken any precautions. This attack came out of nowhere and before they could react, they were swallowed whole in the flames. The power of these dark flames were too much for their last minute spells.

The Mages didn't have time to cast powerful spells since they were attacked so suddenly. As for the weaker protection spells, they didn't even last a second before Raphael's dark flames.

Standing on one of the roofs, Raphael watched the destruction caused by his flames. It wasn't a new sight for him since even in the realm of the Dead, he had only recently destroyed the Kingdom of Damphirs. This sight had become a commonplace for him.

By the time the flames stopped, only ashes were left behind. The flames were so hot that even the weapons of the army were melted.

The only people from Yan who were still alive were the five youngsters who were on their knees, pale faced.

Raphael jumped down from the roof, landing behind the youngsters. These five were the last ones who were left here.

Raphael raised his hand to burn those five as well. They couldn't resist. They could only accept death! This was their destiny!

All the youngsters turned around, looking at Raphael who was about to kill them. After seeing the sea of fire and the strength of these people, Xin and her friends had already lost any hopes of resistance.

They couldn't even muster up the courage to fight back. It was their first time going through a situation like this since most of their lives, they had been sheltered.

Xin couldn't even move her hands as she felt like her hands were frozen in fear.

She closed her eyes, as if accepting her fate. These people weren't scared of their influence. They didn't care about money. They didn't care about taking hostages. There was nothing she could offer them in exchange for her life.

"That's enough." Just as the Infernal King was about to burn these people, a voice came from the back.

Xin opened her eyes, realizing that the voice was quite familiar. It belonged to the person who was with the Infernal King.

Just as she expected, she could see Gabriel coming in their direction. The Infernal King also stopped and looked back, wondering why he was stopped.

Gabriel stopped before Xia and went down on a knee as well.

"Are you scared?" he asked the young Princess.

The young Princess was shaking already. She could only nod her head. All her confidence from before was gone. For some reason, she felt even more scared of Gabriel than she did of Raphael.

"Why did you come here?" Gabriel asked the young girl. "I'm sure it wasn't to die, was it?"

"We..." The girl tried speaking, but it was proving hard for her to speak either. "We wanted... To train... On beast mountain."

Xin eventually managed to answer. Her heart was beating so fast.

Gabriel was quite disappointed with the answer. He was expecting something more special. He expected there to be some treasure that these people were after. To eventually find out that they were just kids who were here to train? However, it was clear to him that she wasn't lying.

He stood up. The five youngsters before him were at their mercy and he could do whatever he wanted with their lives.

However, he didn't feel like he had any personal enmity with them. Only Rong had angered him to that extent. These people weren't even there.

"Did you tell your friend to attack that girl?" he asked another question.

"We didn't! We told him to not do anything stupid! We would never hurt innocent people! He left without informing us! If we had known, we would've stopped him!" Another girl in the group answered.

In her mind, she was cursing Rong for bringing this calamity to them.

"One last question. Give me one reason I shouldn't kill you right here?" Gabriel asked his third and last question.

He didn't feel much anger toward these youngsters and he wasn't scared of their influence. To him, leaving them alive didn't matter either. He was initially planning to let them leave after all. But still, he was curious what reason they were going to give.

"I can give you gold! Millions of gold coins! My family is very rich!" One of the girls stated. If there was a chance of survival, she was willing to take it! She was sure her father wasn't going to hesitate in giving this ransom.

"My father owns a lot of businesses! If you let me leave, I'll convince him to give half to you!" The only man left in the group declared.

One after another, all youngsters offered one thing or another. To any ordinary person, such advantages were enough to sway them but to Gabriel, they were nothing. He already had enough wealth and materials that he could ever need.

Seeing Gabriel unimpressed, Xin was even more scared. She finally decided to do something stupid to save her life!

"I will give you the Spirit Tomb Key!" She declared with clenched teeths.
