Jared ambled over to Ali's group with Percy, but none of the Demon Wolves dared to attack the two.
Upon realizing that Jared and Percy were the only ones who had come, Ali's group was stunned again.
Emily even anxiously shouted, “Jared, why did you come? Hurry up and leave this place! It's dangerous here!”
She was hoping that Jared would leave before these Demon Wolves came back to their senses.
Jared and Percy were heading to their deaths by confronting the Demon Wolves alone.
“Emily, I've come with Percy to save you all,” Jared informed.
“Jared, if you weren't injured, then maybe you could save us. However, you're gravely hurt and have yet to recover. You're only courting death by doing this!” Emily pleaded with desperation.
The pack of at least a hundred Demon Wolves presented an overwhelming challenge for Jared. While he could have handled one or two of them at a time, facing them all simultaneously would be an insurmountable task.
Frankly, that was an issue Jared had contemplated as well, but he was confident. He knew that these Demon Wolves did not dare to attack him.
“Don't worry, Emily. I have a way to get you all out of here,” Jared told her firmly.
“I'm grateful that you've come to save us, Jared, but you won't be able to win against all these Demon Wolves. Take Percy and leave this place. Don't let yourself die here,” Ali said, for he also did not believe that Jared could go up against the wolves and win.
“Ali, Emily, maybe Jared can really save you from this place. He has recovered much, and he even managed to kill those people from Cyan Village who were trying to capture you alone!”
Unlike Emily and Ali, Percy had faith in Jared as he had seen how Jared had killed the people from Cyan Village.
Ali's group was visibly astonished to hear Percy's words. Then, a look of delighted surprise manifested on their faces.
“That's fantastic news! With those b*stards finally eliminated, our sacrifices will be worthwhile,” exclaimed one of the villagers from Rock Village.
“No worries. As long as I'm here, the grim reaper won't come near you,” Jared reassured, a small smile playing on his lips.
