Chapter 351: - Someone Killed the Demon



"We'll help you find out more about these Slumdon people," Marlene reaffirmed her earlier offer.

Broken gave a slow nod. "Is there a chance they'll be killed if we're late in rescuing them?"

Marlene paused for a moment, considering the question. "Slaves taken from Yunatea... most of them are forced into labor, like the oppressed slaves we all know.

"However, some of them, those with unique traits-like rare beast-kin hybrids or members of one of Yunatea's major races, like elves-are often sold off at auctions. If they manage to capture High-Elves, for example, they're usually put on display at these auctions. So, if you're asking whether they'll be killed... I can say with some confidence that they'll likely still be... alive," she explained.

Broken tried to take comfort in her words, at least for now, while also considering his own options for dealing with the situation. Marlene's offer would serve as a backup plan. And if there was a good chance that the captives wouldn't be killed right away, it would give him more time to split his focus-between hatching the demon egg and dealing with the slave situation.

He still had other questions, like whether it would even be possible to return them to Yunatea if he managed to free them. But Broken didn't want to appear too reliant on Marlene and the Shadow Wolves, so he decided to approach this problem more cautiously, gathering as much information as he could on his own.

Subaru watched the agreement between Marlene and Broken, feeling a bit more at ease and finally able to breathe easier. "Hehe," he laughed awkwardly.

"What about the raid?" Broken asked, shifting the topic of their conversation.

"A little bad," Marlene said.

"Really bad," Subaru added at almost the same time.

Marlene then went on, "We lost three people, and I think missing that one key member for the raid strategy hit us pretty hard in terms of what we had planned."

Broken nodded slowly. "I've been part of a raid boss hunt before, so I know how tough this can be."

"It's a demon with a fire element, Broken. Hehe," Subaru said with a nervous laugh. Broken turned to him.

Subaru continued, "Yeah, our missing tanker has a water element affinity, and his skill set was crucial for dealing with a fire element monster. That's why we've been struggling so much-without him, we couldn't exploit the demon's weakness, which is water element

skills."

From Subaru's explanation, it was clear that they hadn't just lost a tanker; they had lost the key to their entire strategy for defeating the raid boss. Yet, despite the setback, they kept pushing forward, even though the odds were stacked against them.

"This was a raid boss hunt we planned so carefully... ugh..." Subaru trailed off, disappointment evident on his face.

"Marlene, is it possible that Infernak wandered off from his spot?" Subaru asked, turning to

her for an explanation.

"Someone killed the demon," Marlene replied flatly. "I think someone's been following us, waiting for the right moment while we were off guard."

"What? They took down Infernak? Who could've done that? People from the city? Other

demons?"

"Could it be someone who snuck into this expedition?"

"Damn, how strong would someone have to be to take down Infernak solo?"

"We need to settle this. After all the effort we put into weakening that demon, someone else

swoops in and takes it from us. Damn!"

They all voiced their frustration, anger boiling over.

"Even though Infernak was weakened, killing that demon alone isn't an easy feat, right? Especially if it was an assassin who did it?"

"Ugh, seriously...," Subaru groaned in frustration. "This is so annoying! Now we have to wait for that demon to respawn? This whole expedition is really screwing us over!" he shouted

angrily.

"Yeah, and bringing Broken along for this raid only made things worse. Now we're going to miss out on a chance to grab a piece of armor or a weapon that might've dropped from that

stupid demon."

"I feel like we're losing big time here," another teammate chimed in.

Marlene let out a quiet sigh. "Just make sure everything's taken care of... I'm exhausted," she

said, her tone resigned.
