A mission that was a.s.signed by a Rank-1 Honor Badge Demon-Hunter would certainly come with high complexity, and there must be some hidden secret on the escaping Acraepoid!

With that in mind, one of the Demon-Hunters told the other two, "Strangle them first." It was a middle-aged sorceress who had given the instruction as she extended her palm while the tips of her fingers were ignited with purple light.

Both of the remaining Demon-Hunter and Demon-Huntress nodded.

With the amount of battle experiences that the few Level-2 Demon-Hunters had gained from their Rank-3 Honor Badges, there would not be any problem to just hold off the Acraepoids, and it was exceptionally slight negligence which had allowed the Acraepoid n.o.bles to perform their ambush earlier.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The booming sound from the intense battle in the skies continued.

While the remaining Demon-Hunters that were being a.s.sembled by Grimm's Rank-1 Honor Badge had yet to arrive, another three more had arrived after a few moments; one of them was a Level-3 Demon-Hunter with a Rank-2 Honor Badge and was hidden under a loose and black sorcerer robe.

With the aid of other Demon-Hunters, Grimm managed to exclude himself from dealing with the slave creatures of the Infernal Spirit World and shouted in the direction of the three others that had just arrived, "Kill that young Acraepoid, and do not let him get away."

"Hmm?"

The three Demon-Hunters that had just arrived were puzzled as they looked at the young Acraepoid that was escaping in extreme fear.

Swoos.h.i.+ng sounds were heard from different directions going after the escaping Acraepoid along with Grimm.

Whoos.h.!.+

Suddenly, a huge bunch of slave creatures flew out from behind a tall Flame Burrow that was beside the escaping young Acraepoid as they were chasing after a few Demon-Hunters. Some of the creatures diverted and pounced towards Grimm and the other Demon-Hunters as soon as they saw them coming from the other side.

"Again? Is this really a coincidence?"

Under the Mask of Truth, Grimm's eyes were wide open as he was in disbelief, how could an insignificant Acaepoid cause such a number of coincidences to slow down the pace of his pursuit?

Swoosh…

Suddenly, a booming sound was heard as a black flaming ball that was about thirty meters in size appeared and landed on a Demon-Hunter, the Demon-Hunter fell onto the ground and turned around.

The Demon-Hunter was dumbfounded as soon as he saw Grimm with his pale-blue eyes.

"Huh, it's you!?"

Grimm was awakened by a livid growling, and realized that the World Guardian must have found out who he was through his breathing.

After all, he was the one who had initiated the invasion into the Infernal Spirit World, which might have also got him enlisted in the list of most-wanteds by the top rulers of the world.

Therefore, he would have to constantly be alert and keep himself safe when he was in the Infernal Spirit World.

Grimm had even planned to not set foot onto the land of the Dark Destroyer Kingdom alone so that he could avoid encountering the Acraepoid n.o.ble that he once encountered at the World's Gate; furthermore, now that he had no support from the mana pool, going against the Acraepoid n.o.ble alone would mean deep trouble for him.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…

As the ripples from Grimm's Rank-1 Honor Badge continued to expand, there were more Demon-Hunters that came to gather around him, and all of them set their eyes towards the World Guardian of the Infernal Spirit World.

World Guardians were rarely seen on the ground as they were in the battle against the ma.s.sive army of the Bright Sorcerers that took place in the skies.

Under the Mask of Truth, Grimm secretly told Myna, "Go and mark on the target and follow them secretly."

"Huh? Alright."

The mark that was referred to by Grimm was Myna's renowned Excretions Sorcery.

With the aid of Myna's secret energy, any creature that was marked by him would not be able to get rid of the extremely revolting smell.

A swoosh was heard when Myna flapped his wings and left quickly, while Grimm waved towards the elite Demon-Hunters that had gathered around and told them in a cold voice, "Kill him."

There were tens of elite Demon-Hunters that had reacted to Grimm's command, and there were two powerful Level-3 Demon-Hunters among them, one with two Rank-3 Honor Badges, and the other one with a Rank-3 Honor Badge and a Rank-2 Honor Badge.

The Black Flame World Guardian was surrounded by about two hundred slave creatures while there were also Acraepoids gathered in the dark as they were escaping from the chaos-engulfed Dark Destroyer Kingdom.

The World Guardian started growling.

"You are the master criminal, and today will be the day of your demise!"
