Chapter 1875 A Rushed Funeral
Evan’s expression was dark as he stared at Shermaine. Sorrow and guilt were swirling in his eyes.
After all, she died trying to protect him. It weighed heavily on him as there was no way he could repay that debt.
“Evan, Nicole, we need to contact the other three Guardians right away. They’re basically Shermaine’s siblings, so they’ll know how to take care of her funeral now that she’s dead,” Darius suggested.
“Go and contact Elias,” Evan ordered before his subordinate raced uphill.
However, what he saw there was even more shocking.
The cave was a mess. All the furniture inside was toppled or smashed. Blood was spilled everywhere, especially around a few dead bodies on the floor. The whole scene was a clear indication that a bloody battle had occurred.
Darius was shocked. How could it be? Were they killed by the same people who fought us?
As he continued further into the cave to search for the other Guardians, he saw Gale was lying on the ground, unmoving. When he placed his finger below Gale’s nose, he realized the man had stopped breathing. He’s dead? Even though Gale is a powerful warrior, he was still killed? How powerful is the enemy?
His expression darkened as he raised his head and saw Frida lying on the ground a few meters away from him.
It looked as though her hand was trying to grab something.
He rushed over to her and helped her up. “What happened here? Who tried to kill all of you?”
Frida opened her mouth, but because her injury was too severe, she couldn’t squeeze out any word. Thus, she opted to use the blood on her hand to write the word dragon on the ground. She wanted to write more, but before she could, her eyelids lowered, and she stopped breathing.
He stared at the word on the ground. In front of the cave, the people who tried to kill us have a tattoo of a green dragon on their shoulders. She’s probably telling me they did it.
In order to prove his theory, he checked the corpses at the cave and discovered that they indeed had the tattoo.
He continued to search for Elias in the cave, but there were no signs of the man.
Without any other clues to follow, he returned to Evan and told him what had happened.
“What did you say? Frida and Gale are both dead?” The gang was shocked as it sounded impossible.
“Yes. The people who attacked them were the same people who attacked us.” Darius also told the gang about what Frida wrote before she passed.
“Dragon? What does she mean by that? Are the killers related to dragons?”
“Is it because they have a tattoo of a green dragon on their arms?”
“Green dragon tattoo… Who are these people? Who are they trying to kill? Did they kill the Guardians because of us, or did they try to kill us because of the Guardians? Or maybe they’re targeting all of us?” Davin was confounded.
Evan suggested, “I think they’re trying to kill all of us.”
“They did rush to kill us. They probably planned the whole ambush.”
“But why? We have no idea who they are. Why are they trying to kill us?”
They all looked at each other as they thought about Davin’s question.
“What about Elias? Is he still alive? Perhaps he’ll know the answer,” Levant asked.
Darius shook his head. “I searched the whole cave, but he’s nowhere to be found. It’s hard to tell if he’s still alive or not.”
Davin was getting goosebumps thinking about how many people had died. “It’s bad luck to stay at Daemonic Mount any longer. I think we should just bury Shermaine and leave as fast as we can.”
Evan helped bury Shermaine, Frida, and Gale next to each other at the side of the sea of flowers.
As Joy stared at the three graves, she suddenly cried very loudly, as though it was her own kin who died.
Nicole had to comfort her for a long time before they could leave.
Everyone was in a rather depressive mood as they made their way back. Evan’s expression was especially dark.
Looking at how red Joy’s eyes were, Nicole hoped that she would have a peaceful life after she reached eighteen years old and that no troublemaker would approach her. It would be for the best if they no longer had any ties to that land.
