Even with this shout of pain from Joergen, Saito wasn't worried. He could feel that Joergen was hardly damaged.
Joergen suddenly opened its eyes and spoke out, "Just kidding!" It disappeared within the shadow and reappeared from the other side.
The next moment, it spoke out, "Vanishing Footwork of Shadow Wolf!" Joergen used its shadow ability to disappear from its position and reappear to the other side while striking it with Purple Lightning.
As soon as it finished attacking, it disappeared from that position and struck from the other side. The hits continued and slowly, but surely the Great Demon King's touch skin was pierced.
This time, it was the Great Demon King who let out a painful squeal, "Ahhhhh…" Joergen stopped using its Footwork and stood back for a few seconds.
It gathered a tremendous amount of magic above its horn, it seemed to be of the water attribute, slowly speaking with his words seemingly gathering power by each second, "Secret Skill: Wrath of the Water Dragon!"
Water Element seemed to be gathering above its horn as he targeted the Great Demon King.
The Great Demon King gritted its teeth and spoke out at the same time, "Secret Skill: Nether Blast!"
The Purple colored Demonic power started to gather in its mouth. Both seemed to be charging attacks to their full strength before they unleashed it at the same time.
The attacks collided against each other and created a considerable shockwave which nearly destroyed the Wooden Dome created by Saito.
The shockwave was so strong that it was felt by Lyra and Chloe even though they were so far away from the place it took place.
~~
Lyra was fighting against the three Demons who seemed to be very strong. Their powers were just below the Great Demon King in this party. They were approaching the two of them intending to kill.
Similarly, Lyra had a cold look in her eyes. She understood that if she hesitated to kill at this point, then Chloe and her own life would be in great danger.
Pure wooden vines made out of Lyra's magic appeared around her. The demons were in shock because they had seen it emerge out of thin air.
One of the demons pointed at her and said, "You! You give off the aura of a human, but how can you use Nature Magic! No… There is another aura which is being concealed."
After some thought, he spoke out loud, "The only race capable of creating Wood out of thin air is Elf. You girl, you are an Elf!"
These words caught the interest of the other two demons and Chloe as well. Though she didn't ask any questions regarding this, she still stared at Lyra with some doubts of her own.
Lyra softly whispered, "Move…" The vines attacked them all in unison. There were overall 6 vines, each one was assaulted by 2 vines.
The demons dodged her attack easily. Each one of them had an excited look on their faces, "This is a fortune. Eating you would let me climb onto the ranks of Lower Demon Kings."
As one of them said that, the other two turned towards it and loudly declared, "I will be the one to eat this elf!"
It seemed as though they were about to fight among themselves because of the topic of who would eat Lyra. Lyra didn't waste any moment, she moved her hands and spoke out, "FIRE!"
Suddenly, the vines which were near their bodies started to shoot off countless Wooden Spikes which struck two out of the three of them.
As soon as the two of them were struck, she closed her fist and shouted, "Bloom!"
The wooden spikes which had hit the bodies of the two demons suddenly started to grow at an abnormal speed. While the wood began to grow into a plant, the complexion of the two demons started to become very pale.
Their blood, along with Lyra's magic, was used as a supplement for their abnormal growth. The demon which had been left used this opportunity to close the distance between Lyra as she remained focused on her attack.
Just when he was about to strike Lyra, a fist hit his face. Chloe spoke out loud, "Meteor Punch!" His whole body started to spin in mid-air. Suddenly, a fist made out of Wood was formed and struck him, sending his body high in the air.
Lyra rotated her head and says, "Thanks, Chloe. If you weren't there, I would have taken some damage before my spell would have been ready."
She was a bit embarrassed as she was praised and spoke out, "I want to know what he was talking about later. Is that all right?"
Giving her a nod, Lyra agreed readily with a bright smile, "Okie~!"
She looked up in the air and says, "Looks like he is coming back down. Let's destroy him together!"
Chloe gave her a nod before she took the stance to use that skill again. She was a healer, a particular type of healer in this world. This profession was infamously known as Berserk Healer.
Right now, with her magic power, the only skill she had was Meteor Punch. She couldn't really learn any other skill since her comprehension power wasn't that great.
"Meteor Punch!" "The Fist of Wood Golem!" A sizeable wooden fist was formed in thin air while on the other hand, Chloe once again used all her body strength to punch the demon which had come down.
Its bones, as well as its internal organs, were inevitably crushed. It crashed on the Wooden Dome created by Saito.
Though it wasn't able to pierce through the durable Wooden Dome created by him, there was a significant dent from one side.
Even Saito who was standing in the Dome felt the shockwave. He was still talking to the mother and her son…
~~
"I came here because of my mission. Since I have already saved you. Do you wish to come back to the Vermillion Kingdom with us?" He asked them since he wasn't sure what he should do with them.
If he was alone, he would have very well left them here. But since he was with Lyra, he knew that she wouldn't feel nice after leaving a helpless woman here along with her son.
Of course, she would probably be mad if she came to know about the rest of the humans who had been killed here. They were adventurers anyway. They had come here fully prepared to die in a mission. Not his concern at all.
There was a ruthless intent in her eyes as she spoke out, "You came here to save us due to the mission, right? Then do a mission for me… Secretly kill that man before he realizes that we have survived this place and kills my son!"
These words of hers made Saito smirk a little, "Interesting… A mission to kill my client." Sophie was a bit nervous as she saw him smirk. However, she continued, "Yes… will you be willing to?"
"It depends on what you can pay? That man… Carl Warren has promised 1000 Gold Coins. You should state your price now." The price caused her to clench her fists tightly.
This was an amount she could have quickly paid if she was with her ex-husband. Right now, she was a wife in just name, she didn't have any real wealth. And if she used the name of Carl Warren to ask for money, he would know that they had survived and killed her son using the contract.
There was a look of hesitation on her face as she pointed her hand at herself and staggered to even speak, "I… I don't have money to reward you for this mission…" Just as she paused after speaking this, Saito was about to turn his head.
A decision was made within his head. Not to take up her mission.
He though wasn't really prepared as she continued on, "I-I will give you my whole body as the reward! I will give you everything! Just kill that man and save my son!"
