He only needed this team to bring him to a place with many Snow Demons. Then, he would stay there and slowly kill Snow Demons until the Seal of Hell reached its maximum level.
"Uh, alright…"
The big guy scratched his head in embarrassment and left resentfully.
He could tell that the real powerhouses among the 200 people besides Knight Kader were him and Levi.
Bray was not interested in Levi but the burly man covered in armor beside Levi.
This man might be a real grand knight!
He would be safe if he could cling to the grand knight, even in a disadvantaged position.
Unfortunately, he was heartlessly rejected by Levi.
Kader watched the commotion on the other side, and his heart stirred.
Among this group, the only ones he could not see through were the man in the White Wolf Mask and the burly, athletic man who was always by his side.
These two people gave him a massive sense of oppression.
Thus, he was worried that this man would play some tricks along the way.
However, his worries were unnecessary. Levi thoroughly listened to his commands and never ran around.
The next day, when they were only a day away from their destination, Levi and the others passed by an abandoned castle.
This seemed to be the territory of some noble. Now, whether it was the castle or the residential houses outside, it was obvious that they had been abandoned for some time.
"Three years ago, this place was still a prosperous territory. Until one day, Snow Demons appeared in the territory," Knight Kader said to the team.
Levi thought of his own Black Water Valley. If the Snow Demon calamity could not be resolved, then the Black Water Valley's fate in the future would not be any better than this territory.
The situation was more severe than he had imagined.
At this time, the great nobles of the Emerald Kingdom were still fighting endlessly.
In the afternoon, the team was reorganized. Everyone rested, ate, and settled their physiological needs.
After finishing the headcount, Knight Kader found that a few people were missing.
"Why haven't they returned after so long?" "Captain, maybe they went to take a dump?"
Bray was a chatterbox.
"Did you take so long to take a dump?" Kader snapped.
"Everyone else, stay where you are and wait for orders. Two of you, come with me to check out the situation," Knight Kader said.
"Me!" Bray raised his hand first, and Kader gestured for him to go over.
Kader then looked at Levi. He was worried that something had happened to those people, so he wanted to find a strong person to accompany him.
Levi thought for a moment and raised his hand.
If it were a Snow Demon, he could collect some Cores of the Undead.
Kader nodded and called Levi over.
For some reason, he felt bringing the man in the White Wolf Mask would be more reliable.
"Everyone else, wait here. We'll go take a look."
After bringing Levi and Bray along, Kader headed in the direction where the few people who had just disappeared had left. Levi left Magic Shark behind to wait for orders.
Not long after, they arrived at a small gathering place.
He could faintly hear the sounds of fighting.
Levi immediately became alert, but his Spider Sensing did not warn him.
Presumably, there should not be any danger.
He placed his hand on Frostmourne, ready to strike at any moment.
It was the same for Kader and Bray.
They carefully walked forward and slowly entered the village.
"This should also be the territory of a small noble. You two, be careful. There might be Snow Demons entrenched here," Kader said.
"Tsk tsk tsk, my blood is already boiling."
Kader also drew his mithril sword.
Soon, an abandoned castle and an uninhabited village appeared before them.
There was a wandering knight's corpse at the village entrance. A few Snow Demons with ragged clothes, withered bones, and blue flames in their eyes were eating the carcass.
"This is the consequence of disobeying orders!" Knight Kader cursed.
"Save him?" Bray asked.
"Don't save them. There are only three at the village entrance. Who knows how many more Snow Demons are inside? Those people are seeking death," Kader said coldly.
Even if he was a peak knight with a mithril sword of decent purity, he could only deal with three Snow Demons at once. If it went beyond three, his life would be in danger.
And there were probably at least a dozen Snow Demons in this small village. This was already a tiny Snow Demon nest. They were entrenched here, devouring the living beings that passed by.
Suddenly, Levi sensed something rushing toward him through his Advanced Vibrosensing. It was swift.
He pulled out Frostmourne, and a slender leopard-like monster suddenly rushed out.
The monster's chest was empty, and its eyes burned with blue flames.
Bray was the first to be attacked. The speedy monster lay on Bray's upper body, biting Bray. Fortunately, Bray was wearing armor. Although the quality was average, it blocked the monster's attack.
"D*mn it! This is the Snow Demon after the Snow Leopard mutated," Knight Kader frowned slightly.
It was not just humans that could mutate into Snow Demons. Animals could too..
