Chapter 153: How To Capture A Hero

Sprites were also a breed of demons. They were tiny, fairy-like demons that could fly using their four wings. They are small and numerous so they can usually live in any climate or area. There are even Sprites living in the human world. Sprites are usually left alone by the other demons because they were terribly annoying. Sprites were attracted to mana and they would always fly toward any mana source in the surroundings to try and collect more mana.

The demons would have gotten rid of the sprites a long time ago, but they couldn't even do that because sprites were basically indestructible. A single sprites nest is capable of reproducing more than a thousand sprite babies a week and their bodies are small enough and sturdy enough to survive any sort of direct magic attack. If not for the fact that sprites don't live for more than a month then this world would have already been overrun by them.

But their presence here was not going to help Pyra at all! For her Mana pulse to work, she needs to get back a distinct signal from Dray and Quinn. But with all these sprites here, there is no way Pyra will get a signal that she can use to track them. All the sprites have Mana and so Pyra will be getting signals from all of them and she won't be able to tell which one belongs to the two humans! It was impossible to use her skill like this.

This was the exact reason why Dray chose this place. Dray knew that it would be very difficult for Pyra to find them unless she used some sort of tracking spell and so he chose the sprite's nest so that the sprites would annoy her the moment she tries to use mana.

It was very difficult to notice a Sprite's nest if you aren't used to seeing them. But Dray was able to find the nests because Willow would always bring him to see some of the sprites around the school. Dray knew that if Pura couldn't use her magic to find them then she would have to rely on only her senses. Now all he has to do was hope that luck was on his side.

Pyra looked around the clearing with an annoyed expression. The sprites were starting to get agitated and they were now ramming into her with their tiny bodies. They were trying to tell her to get out of their nest. Some of them were even screeching in her ears and pulling her hair and horns. Their hits didn't hurt at all because they were so damn small but it was very annoying!

Pyra was about to use a spell to kill some of them when she suddenly received a call from Andromeda. Pyra waved her hand to get rid of some of the sprites before she activated the communication circle on her ear to receive the call.

"Yes. What is it?"

"Pyra, there is a complication. Have you finished what you were doing?"

Pyra scowled at a particular sprite that was pulling on her bangs and she answered that she wasn't finished yet. What sort of complication was there? Did someone find the hero yet?

Andromeda shook her head even though she knew that Pyra couldn't see her. Andromeda looked behind her to see the new army coming their way. The army had a lot of S-class soldiers among them and there was also a Grand Commander in the SS-class. Andromeda knew that it would be difficult for her to handle them on her own. Her Mana was low and she won't be able to stop the Grand Commander with the servants she currently has.

"More reinforcements are coming our way to help the slaves. Multiple S-class and one SS-class. I need your help to get rid of them. If we work together we should be able to kill them at once,"

Andromeda needed Pyra since Pyra was the frontline fighter among both of them. Pyra and Rosavellt were the only two maids who specialized in directly attacking the enemy so their physical conditions were better than Andromeda and Rizi. Andromeda and Rizi only specialize in fighting from a distance or assassination from the shadows.

Once Pyra heard what the problem was she was surprised. All these reinforcements for slaves? Really? Why the hell are so many soldiers coming to save only a few slaves? I don't think that makes sense.

Pyra wondered why so much reinforcement was being sent to save slaves. Was there someone important among the humans that we killed? Pyra frowned for a moment before she rose a brow in disbelief. Don't tell me that this army was actually the hero's party. It's not possible, right? If the hero is part of this army then that means she was either killed or she ran. I don't think the hero would die that easily so that means she must have run away! Isn't this army too weak to belong to a hero!?

Pyra frowned as she heard Andromeda call her name again. Pyra now had an idea of who the reinforcement are trying to save and she immediately came up with a plan. If I'm right about this then we'll catch the hero sooner than I thought and if I'm wrong we can kill more of the human army. Master should be pleased.

Pyra spoke into her communication circle and told Andromeda to leave the battlefield and meet her at Noir. Pyra had a plan and she needed the reinforcement to arrive safely for the plan to work. They can't attack the reinforcement for now.

"Leave one of the injured soldiers under your control on the battlefield and allow the reinforcement to find him and save him. That way we can track the army no matter where they go. I think there's a possibility that the hero is a part of the army we just attacked. If the reinforcement came here to save her then we can easily find them again and get rid of all of them once and for all,"

When Pyra said this Andromeda, Andromeda was also shocked. Andromeda didn't think that the hero would be a part of such a small troop like this. The soldiers here were all weak and Andromeda didn't have any trouble killing them. Don't tell me that I could have accidentally killed the hero if I wasn't careful. Master would not be happy if I killed the hero. Master told us not to touch the hero!

Andromeda agreed immediately to Pyra's plan and the two of them opened portals and walked through.

Dray has been holding Quinn down and hiding cautiously since Pyra was standing there. He thought that Pyra would still try to find them after the sprites came out but luckily she just opened a portal and walked through. Dray breathed a sigh of relief and slouched behind the bush. Damn, that was too close! Too fucking close! Dray didn't hear what Pyra spoke about on the communication circle so he had no idea why she suddenly left, but he was just grateful that she was no longer after them.

Quinn also breathed a sigh of relief from beside Dray and she couldn't help but laugh a little. This is too much. When Quinn became the hero, she thought she would walk through it like everything else she has ever done. Ever since she was a kid, the only person that has ever beaten her is Floid. She has managed to be the best at everything else. She thought for sure that this situation would be the same as all the other ones. But what the hell is this?

Demon maids that are capable of destroying armies singlehandedly?

A priest that curses and sends humans to their deaths?
