Features: The dwarves walked far ahead, while the human knights followed behind. The heroes of the three races continued their journey toward the distant, cold source, to seal the legendary demon. Actually, we had always ignored one question: even if the demon didn’t awaken, if the Beastfolk launched a full-scale attack on the territory of the three races, along with those terrifying undead creatures and the evil servants guarding the demon, I think the three races might not stand a chance. But now, only the Beastfolk are joining the attack, and the three races are already struggling to defend. If we seal the impending demon and provoke their wrath, and they then turn their full strength against the three races without hesitation, what then? I sighed inwardly. Perhaps it’s not the right time to think about this. Whether we can safely reach the cold source is still unknown, and it might be too early to worry about it now. But scenes of possible outcomes kept flashing in my mind: the complete defeat of the three races, ruins everywhere, smoke rising from the ashes, people fleeing for their lives, the Beastfolk slaughtering indiscriminately in the chaos, the earth stained red with flowing blood, diseases and plagues spreading, and the once beautiful homeland turned into a living hell. I couldn’t help but groan in pain. The elf mage beside me looked at me strangely. I forced a smile, trying to show that I was fine. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, adjusting my emotions. I would not allow such a situation to occur. I growled inwardly, "I came here not to witness how this place turns into a living hell. I must save them!" If I could kill the demon before its loyal servants, it would have an unexpected effect. Due to their blind worship of the demon, if it were to die, they would be vulnerable. The three races would then have a chance for a major counterattack. According to the elven prophecy, the demon is extremely powerful and indestructible! If that’s true, how could I possibly kill the demon? Moreover, I have already lost the Dragon Force, Wolf Force, and Plant Force. They are now independent entities, and whether they can still provide me with power remains uncertain. My head was pounding from all the thoughts. This was indeed a difficult problem, and it was hard to achieve both goals.
"Divine Messenger, are you alright?" The elf mage beside me noticed my abnormality and asked. The other elf warriors also looked at me. I gave an awkward smile and waved my hand. One of the elf warriors suddenly said, "It must be because Divine Messenger didn’t rest well last night. Let us take over the watch from now on. Divine Messenger’s noble status is too burdensome for such a task!"
Time seemed to pass slowly, and the tedious journey was made bearable only by the presence of so many beautiful and kind elves. We traveled for three days without encountering any danger, except for the small group of Beastfolk soldiers we met in the dwarf village. Since then, we had not encountered any more Beastfolk armies. Until recently, we discovered an army of several thousand soldiers. Fortunately, the mages spotted them early, or else...
