"The medallion of Byagoona? What is that?" Adrian muttered but Elder Willow did not have the strength to reply because he fainted.

"I think that we should escape first. We need to get out of here because the whole city will get swept up in a monster rampage if the tree of life dies. I even got a mission to escort everyone in this room to safety." Levin Cloud stated but whispered the last sentence to Adrian.

"It is the wiser choice to try and evacuate but that would be difficult since we would become a large target once we set foot outside." Adrian uttered but then the other elves stood up.

"We shall be the bait. We will lure the other monsters away from you. As long as Dryad Makiling and Elder Willow escapes then Neo Alfheim will stand once more. Take the women and children." A male elf stated as he limped his way to the door.

"Stop! Even if the men bravely sacrifice themselves, we would not be enough to protect the women and children. Even if the women know how to fight, they should prioritize protecting the children." Adrian stated which made those exiting the restaurant halt in their tracks as what the former said makes more sense.

If the male elves did what they steeled themselves to do then it would just be needless sacrifice. Although evacuating as a large group is dangerous, evacuating in a small group is even more dangerous. Adrian needs them to move while protecting those that cannot protect themselves.

"You do not need to be the bait. I will act as the bait. I will lure the monsters away from your group since among us all only I can fly. I also have soulbounds with me plus I am a demon. I can just use spatial magic to easily escape any pursuers." Adrian stated with a smile.

"But did you not say thatow!" Levin Cloud did not finish his sentence because Adrian's elbow struck him in the stomache.

"Just do as I say and you people would be able to escape the city. Is there a shorter path that you guys know of that we can take?" Adrian asked as he does not know the full layout of the city.

"There should be a straight route from here that can lead to a gate that leads outside the city. The only problem is the monsters that we will encounter on the way." Levin Cloud answered as he already knows Neo Alfheim like the back of his hand.

"The plan is easy. I will first join you on the path. When we encounter monsters, I will then separate from your group and lure the monsters in the process. The only thing that you guys need to do is protect the back as monsters might sneak an attack against that part of the group." Adrian stated but Levin Cloud is still not sure.

"We do not have time as more monsters will accumulate inside Neo Alfheim as time goes on. Escaping in haste must be the top priority right now." Adrian added as the tree of life weakens as time goes by.

"Let's do it then." Levin Cloud stated as he stood up and told the other elves of the plan.

The elves made a makeshift stretcher from the tables so that they could easily carry those that cannot move using their feet. Once everyone is ready, Adrian headed out using the secret entrance in order to see if there are monster's nearby.

Although he was not happy that other evacuees were luring the monsters, Adrian had to use it to their advantage. He signaled for the others to get out carefully so that a movement sensitive monster does not detect them if there is one in the vicinity.

Each of the elves exited one by one as Adrian led them to the designated area. The group had no difficulty going for about ten meters. The members of the group that can fight protected those injured. The group moved in a circle formation so that they could easily react to attacks.

The speed the group is moving is fast as they could easily maneuver against slow moving monsters. Some of the monsters are low leveled because the protection of the tree of life and the highest that they have encountered is level 110.

The real roadblock happened when a monster that is a mixture of a tiger and a rabbit appeared. Levin Cloud told Adrian that it is a Pantheraculus. It is the favorite mount of the elven guards but this one seemed rabid because saliva is dripping from its mouth like a river.

Adrian did not attack it instead Sirius immediately charged towards it. Sirius had a one on one wrestling match with the Pantheraculus. Adrian gestured for everyone to immediately proceed as they need to evacuate immediately.

Sirius conveyed that he would be fine so they should go to the exit. Adrian knows that Sirius has been getting more and more intelligent lately. Sirius could now assess information and even suggest to sacrifice itself as long as Adrian would benefit.

Adrian then summoned Saena in order to aid the group with her heals. At first Adrian ordered Saena to absorb Makiling and Elder Willow's sickness but it was impossible for her. Their infection is too potent for even a bird designated to cure sickness could not extract or cure.

She was still a good support summon as she can now slightly recover stamina with each heal. She is also helpful as the elves that were focused on healing magic can now be at ease and help defending them from stray monsters.

The way forwards became much more difficult as they reached the exit because monster swarms started appearing and charging towards town. The problem is not the monsters were strong but their numbers are far too much for anyone to easily repel even with their group.

Adrian received a notification that he received experience points and Sirius emerged from his shadow. The next problem now is the horde of monsters in front of them. If that was not enough, there is a horde of living sludge monsters behind them so they no longer have the option to retreat.

"We are in a deep mess right now and I do not think we will live today so it was good knowing you guys." Levin Cloud started lamenting but he was actually smiling.

"Uhuh. I guess that smile on your face is saying that you have a spell that you really wanted to try but had no chance to." Adrian stated.

"Can you stall for ten seconds?" Levin Cloud asked.

"Should not be so hard." Adrian stated.

"Nether Domain." Adrian stated and nether mist started to roll in.

Some weak monsters fled but the living sludge monsters did not. The living sludge monsters became more ferocious when the nether mist rolled in.

"Netheros True Form" Adrian stated.

"Summon: Sirius" Adrian stated.

"Summon: Kanlaon" Adrian stated.

"Summon: Saena" Adrian stated.

"Summon: Charon" Adrian stated.

The nether forms of the Adrian's soulbounds sprung forth once more and the players who are helping the others evacuate saw the dubbed Nightmare Demons. What Adrian did not know is that there is another set of eyes that saw him.

Anastacia clearly saw Adrian transforming into his true form. She now knows that Adrian is clearly the demon in the videos that got every top guild vying for his identity. She wanted to help them but she is also evacuating her master that was her top priority.

Adrian indiscriminately attacked all the monsters that charged at them fiercely. Kanlaon's roar really helped since it demoralized some monsters with inferior bloodline which is most of the monsters. The group cannot move from their location because of the monster horde but it was not just monsters that came for them.

Other players unexpectedly flocked towards Adrian's location because they wanted to experience the buff that the phoenix looking monster gave. The players that felt the buff all prattled about it in the forums as the best feeling of their life. Some even said that it was so exhilarating compared to love making.

They also figured that they cannot escape the monster horde on their own so it was not bad to leech on a stronger player. Adrian did not bother or exclude them from the buff but he did not place Charon's barriers towards them. He only deployed the barriers to those in his group.

Slowly and surely the fight shifted and they could now move by an inch per second. It was not much but it was enough for them to actually clear the beast tide. The players were on cloud nine not only because of the buff but also the ton of experience coming their way. Adrian did not mind because a majority of the experience they are getting is distributed to him and his party anyway.

Levin Cloud who was chanting for five seconds floated to the air and his eyes glowed in a green light. His chanting became like music to those that hear them because it sounded like a song. After ten seconds of chanting, Levin Cloud finally activated the spell.

"Yewdrassil's Descent" Levin Cloud stated and a half rotten half golden seed dropped from the sky.
