Advent of the Archmage Chapter 395

Wine cellar

The Yabba obviously didn't believe Link . This was quite awkward .

Thinking a bit, Link said, "Look at me . I can't be a demon right?"

The little Yabba held a short-handle musket . It was like a handgun from earth . At the moment, the muzzle was shaking but still pointed at Link . "Demons are the best at disguises . Those demons outside aren't scary . It's the evil demons pretending to be humans that are . Like Akensser, he's a respected artisan, but he betrayed us all!"

Thus Link learned that there was a traitor from Lirico . It was the artisan Akensser, just like in the game .

Link looked helpless . "There's no point for me to hurt you, right?"

"Yes you do!" the little thing yelled . "Kill me, hurry! I won't say anything . "

This intrigued Link . The Yabba definitely knew something .

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a soft noise outside . Shocked, he listened closely and gestured at the Yabba in the corner of the wine cellar to be quiet . Then, looking left and right, he saw a few wine jars .

He immediately started moving . He stacked the jars one by one beside the entrance . When they almost reached the entrance, Link glanced at it . He estimated the measurements, and then stabbed his sword into the wall . He sliced it lightly as if it was tofu, cutting out a slab bigger than the entrance .

The Yabba's wine cellar was very low-hanging, only eight feet high . Link picked up the stone slab and gently put it on the jars of wine . It sealed off the entrance perfectly . During this entire process, Link was extremely fast . More importantly, he didn't make a sound . Even when slicing the wall, it only made tiny snicks . One couldn't hear it without listening closely .

When he finished, he realized that the Yabba had put down his musket .

Link was slightly relieved . He brought his finger to his lips to gesture the Yabba to be quiet . The little thing also heard the noise outside . He didn't dare breathe loudly, and his body was shaking . At this moment, even though he still suspected Link, he'd pushed it to the back of his mind . The demon outside the cellar was more terrifying .

The two didn't make a sound . They just waited inside the cellar . Link stood beside the entrance with his sword, ready for anything .

After around two minutes, the ceiling vibrated . Thud, thud, thud . Those were the demons' footsteps . Judging from the sound, there were at least three demons . They weight more than half a ton . Link could also tell that one was a Fodor Flaming Demon .

They got closer and closer to the entrance and Link could hear the Abyss language .

"Do you smell it? It smells weird, like wine . "

"A little . Sniff, sniff . Smells nice . "

"Hey, leader, there's a sealed entrance . It looks like it's been moved . "

"Oh? Let me see . "

Hearing this, Link tightened his grip and pressed the sword's tip against the stone slab . As soon as the demons realized something was wrong, he would stab .

Crash! They opened the lid above the cellar . Heavy breathing traveled from the stone slab above Link's head . It was getting closer and closer .

At this moment, not only was Link completely focused, but the Yabba in the corner also picked up his musket nervously again . Rather than aiming at Link though, it was pointed at the stone slab .

The breathing sounds lasted for three seconds before leaving .

"It's just a stone slab . There's nothing there . " The demon's voice resonated deeply . This meant he had big lung capacity . Judging from his footsteps, this was the Fodor Flaming Demon . He was at Level-8 too .

The footsteps faded into the distance . The demon seemed to have really left . Link let out a breath and turned around . "Hey, we can't keep wasting time . We need to leave now . The demon might come back any time . "

Actions spoke louder than words . Link's earlier actions had greatly reduced the little thing's doubts . He stared at Link with huge eyes . "You really are the human messenger? What's your name?"

"I'm Link Morani . This is my noble seal, and this is my wand… Hurry, we don't have time!" Link urged .

The Yabba was shocked . "You're the Ferde Lord . Why don't you use magic?"

"Something happened . No time to explain . Follow me!" Link's heart jumped . This meant there was danger, and he had to leave as soon as possible .

This time, the Yabba seemed to believe him . He kicked the jar above the fire, putting the fire out . Then he ran over to Link . "Do you have food? I haven't eaten in three days . "

Approaching the Yabba, Link realized that his lips were cracked and he looked frail . Link took a baked potato from Aragu and a pot of water out of the dimensional storage bag for him .

The Yabba took a bite and smacked his lips . "It tastes weird . I've never had it before, but it's nice . I like it . "

Link then took out a shirt . He tore it into strips and tied them together . He reached out and put the busy eating Yabba onto his back . At the same time, he ordered, "Hold on tight . "

"Ah, oh… okay . " The Yabba was frightened, but he had to follow through . He clasped his thin legs tightly around Link's waist . He also hugged tightly with his arms but didn't forget to eat his potato . He was honestly starving .

Link finally realized from the body hugging him that the Yabba was a girl but was completely flat-chested .

Link wrapped the rag around until it got to the Yabba's neck . He turned around . Seeing that she was still eating, he took the potato away . "Enough . Don't eat too much at first . "

"But I'm hungry . " She stared imploringly at Link .

He was unmoved . Link continued wrapping the rag until her head was firmly fixed to his back .

"I'm going to die if you tie me like this . "

"I'll run very fast later . If I don't fix your head, your neck will turn into twisted rope . "

She didn't believe him . "You're lying again! Let me see how fast you run!"

After tying her, Link listened to the outside . It was quiet, but he couldn't lower his guard . He clenched his fists again . Dragon Power surged and activated the Clear Sign effect . Instantly, Link could perceive all sorts of signals .

The ground trembled lightly . There were four demons nearby, including the Fodor Flaming Demon from earlier . He was talking 150 feet away .

The Clear Sign effect collected his voice .

"Look, this seems to be footprints . They're fresh too," he said .

"Something passed by . He must have tossed the bomb earlier too," another demon said . Judging from the voice, it was a Winged Howler .

"He walked the entire way to the wine cellar from earlier, but it was sealed… Is it a secret room?" the Fodor Flaming Demon muttered . After a pause, he said, "Let's go back!"

Then footsteps got closer . It sounded hurried; the demons were running quickly . In order for them to not sense the Dragon Power, Link canceled the effect . Then he whispered to the Yabba, "I need to send a message to Elin, the Lady Fortuna . How can I do that?"

Link didn't say that he needed to enter the city's defensive shield . That would raise suspicions and make the Yabba become guarded again . By saying that he needed to send a message and let the girl do it, she wouldn't suspect him .

"Tell me what Elin looks like . " The Yabba was quite careful .

"Emerald eyes, under three feet, likes wearing colorful robes with red, blue, and green . She has pigtails, but her hair isn't long . They look like horns—"

"Alright, I believe you . Elin is inside the crystal wall, but we can't go in . We can't send messages either . The demons destroyed all the investigation statues," the Yabba replied softly .

"The crystal wall? Is it that yellow light shield?" Link asked despite knowing the answer . He guided the Yabba closer and closer to the answer he wanted .

"Yes, it's that magic shield . No information can pass through, unless… I can't tell you . I don't trust you completely!" She suddenly stopped .

Link shrugged . He didn't continue asking because that would make his intentions clear . The Yabba's suspicions would skyrocket . He put his attention on the demons outside the sealed entrance .

Thud, thud . The Fodor Flaming Demon returned . This time, his steps were hurried . From the screams in the air, Link predicted that he would shatter the stone slab .

In the span of a thought, Link made his calculations . He didn't attack or retreat . He just went into the corner, hiding behind a jar of wine .

Crash! The demon stomped the slab and broke it . He had rich battle experience . To prevent anyone under the slab from attacking, his stomp carried powerful demon power . Not only was the stone broken, but Battle Aura also reverberated . The entire cellar entrance caved in, creating a gaping hole .

The jars of wine were shattered . Wooden splinters flew and wine splattered . The cellar was filled with the thick scent of wine . It was the Yabbas' favorite red berry wine .

The commotion was too big like the world shattering . The Yabba screamed instinctively, but before she could make a sound, Link covered her mouth . All other auras in the cellar were covered by the smell of wine .

"Go in and look," the Flaming Fodor Demon said . As a high-level demon, he was over ten feet tall . The cellar was too small for him .

Thud, plop . Two smaller low-level demons jumped down . Link could feel that the Yabba's heart quickened instantly . Even her breathing became faster . She was clearly frightened .

Seeing the low-level demons, Link's mind whirred . He thought of various solutions, and a lightbulb went off . He took the Yabba's musket and reached into the wine jar . Distinguishing location by sound, he made three consecutive shots .

When he fired, Link also gently pinched the Yabba's legs . Even though he did it gently, she couldn't take it . She instantly screamed in pain, and her big black eyes fogged up . A teardrop hung in her eyes . It hurt .

Bang, bang, bang . Every bullet hit a low-level demon, and their heads exploded . They died without putting up a fight .

The commotion obviously alerted the Flaming Fodor Demon outside the cellar . Not only did he hear the musket, but he also heard a Yabba's cry . He cackled . "I was wondering what's hiding down there . It's a little trigger-happy thing . They taste good . Seems like I'll get a good meal today too . "

Not only did Firuman know about the Yabba's muskets, but the Dark Army had also experienced them from all the battles . So when the demon heard the musket, his first thought was that a Yabba was hiding in there . To him, Yabbas were just slabs of fresh meat . They weren't a threat at all .

A Winged Howler spoke from the distance . "I want one too . I want one too . "

"If you want to eat, help me dig up the cellar . These little things are just like rats . You have to dig them out . "

Thud, thud, thud . The Winged Howler walked over and really did start helping . The two demons were both at Level-8, and the stone slabs couldn't stop them .

Boom, boom . The cellar was stomped on continuously, and the entrance widened . Link retreated to the border without a sound . After a few more seconds, a ten-foot-tall figure jumped in . He squatted to look for the "rat . "

As for the rat's musket, it was only a threat to low-level demons . His skin was rough and thick . Even if he was hit, it would only be a scratch . While he was getting used to the darkness, Link acted .

He rushed to the demon's side instantly and kicked his knee . With a crack, his knee broke, and the demon stumbled . He opened his mouth to scream, but Link had already used the momentum to shoot upward . There was a small scraping sound . He chopped off the Fodor Flaming Demon's head cleanly, cutting off the scream .

Rushing out the hole, Link saw the Winged Howler . The demon felt something was wrong and opened his mouth to scream . He also spread his wings and jumped into the air .

The Winged Howler's voice attack was very strong . Link could resist it easily, but the Yabba on his back would die from the soundwaves .

In this critical moment, Link lunged as fast as lightning . His foot hooked onto a stone and grabbed the demon's ankle as he shot up . Link yanked the 14-foot-tall demon from the air .

Boom! Link threw the Winged Howler onto the ground, disorienting it .

Without hesitating, Link charged . He stepped onto the demon's head and activated his Legendary power . With a burst, the demon's head exploded like a watermelon under pressure .

As soon as he finished, Link heard screams from the air . It was the Winged Howlers . Link was finally discovered by the demons in the air .

Taking a deep breath, Link composed himself . Then he turned around and started running towards the dense cluster of buildings . Since he was discovered, he'd take advantage of the geography .

"Go left . There's an entrance to an alley," the Yabba suddenly said .

At the same time, a message flashed in his vision .

Activate New Mission: Breakthrough

Mission: Break through the demon's blockade and enter the underground world of Lirico City .

Mission Reward: Assassin Pants (Epic)

It was another piece of gear . The name was similar to the Assassin Robe too . If he finished all the missions, would he get an entire set?

Link had never heard of this set in the game, but he didn't care . He accepted the new mission .
