Chapter 76: Reunion

"Let's meet up with Leo first!"

After resting for a while, Alexander's magic energy was almost fully restored, so he activated the Teleport skill on the spot.

Light started shining on his body, and then Alexander turned into a ray of light and disappeared. The principle of this skill was somewhat similar to the teleportation of the Gates of the Abyss, and the feeling of transforming into light was exactly the same.

...

On a small hill, Leo was happily enjoying his prey. It was a very strong wild boar, and it was also Leo's first time catching prey like this. It was quite fierce, and Leo had taken some effort to catch it. As he learned from his master, Leo spit out flames from his mouth to roast the wild boar. A strong aroma filled the air, making his three heads bite down eagerly.

Leo was immediately conquered by the delicious taste!

"Aw!" (Delicious)

"Woo!" (Extremely)

"Woof!" (Indeed)

There was no such creature in the Abyss. Be it demons or monsters, their flesh and bones had a thick sulfur taste that was disgusting even roasted. Now that he had tasted this wild boar, Leo immediately fell in love with it.

Just as Leo was happily eating away, a pillar of light suddenly appeared beside him, startling Leo. He immediately jumped out, bared his teeth, and growled with threat.

However, a familiar voice came. "Don't worry, Leo. It's me!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice and smelling the familiar smell, Leo's expression immediately changed. All three heads stuck out their tongues, and he started wagging his tail with all his might.

As soon as Alexander appeared, Leo immediately moved closer and rubbed against Alexander's feet. Alexander squatted and rubbed his three heads, causing him to jump around happily.

"Oh, you've got something good!" Alexander smelled the aroma of meat and turned his head to look at the roasted wild boar. His eyes sparkled as he stretched out his hand to pull off a boar hoof and bit into it.

"The heat control wasn't good! But the taste is still all right!" Alexander swallowed the meat and sighed with satisfaction. "It's been a long time since I've had pork!"

As a demon, he needed to eat as well. But in the Abyss, there was no rice nor braised pork belly. After a while, Alexander almost forgot the taste of these foods. He did not expect to taste it now. Moreover, he tasted it after getting rid of the contract with Xeron, so Alexander was very satisfied now. Leo sure was considerate and even knew how to celebrate with his master.

One demon and one dog immersed themselves in munching on the food, and soon, a four-hundred-kilogram boar was eaten into a pile of bones.

After spitting out the last bone in his mouth, Alexander looked around and asked Leo, "What about your subordinates?"

Leo could understand what Alexander said but could not speak, so he pressed his tail between his legs and ran. Alexander immediately understood. "Oh, they ran away?"

Leo nodded while wagging his tail.

"Is it because Xeron's death caused the demon contracts to collapse?" Alexander guessed. After all, demons usually would not obey any orders after losing the restraint of the contract. It was normal for them to escape. Although Leo was leading the group, he really could not order these demons.

"Then, did you run into any enemies?" Alexander asked Leo.

Leo shook his three heads, waving them left and right at the same time. Their synchronous movements made Alexander want to laugh.

It seemed like the elves had focused on Xeron. Leo and the rest had been transporting the siege equipment and had separated from the main force, but the elves did not attack and destAlexander the siege equipment.

Actually, come to think of it, the elves had sent three heroes to surround Xeron, so how could they still give him the opportunity to attack cities? Without being able to attack cities, the siege equipment posed no threat. Leo had only brought along a few dozen hellhounds, and it would have been a little too ludicrous for them to specially come to exterminate this small group.

After Alexander and Leo's conversation, Alexander discovered that Leo had been leading the hellhounds at a slow speed. Although they had encountered some wild beasts on the way, they had not encountered any elven forces. After Xeron died, the hellhounds abandoned the siege equipment and scattered, and Leo followed them. However, Leo left them after receiving Alexander's telepathy.

Leo walked along the route that he came from, in the direction to the demon city. Had it been Alexander, he would have been lost because he could not remember the way. But because Leo had a sensitive sense of smell, he could clearly find the return route. This was why Alexander teleported to Leo. Alexander would be unable to find the demon city without this little guy.

Leo was constantly growing, and Alexander would feed him extra souls, so Leo's attributes were now much higher than when he was just born. And his fighting prowess was already much stronger than that of the real hellhounds, meaning that Leo was also a qualified top-low-rank demon.

After understanding the situation, Alexander used his nails to draw on the ground.

He roughly marked the location where Xeron encountered the ambush and the location where the dragons killed him after he escaped. He then calculated the approximate location of Leo's support unit. Finally, he came to the conclusion that he and Leo might still be in the ambush encirclement of the elves.

Alexander estimated that the elves had used two weeks to set up the plan to ambush Xeron, which was when Xeron had asked for reinforcements from Rashka. After such a long time, the elves' range of movement had already become very large, and they should have cut off Xeron's troops coming from the rear, causing Xeron to have no reinforcements. Leo and the others were escorting the siege equipment, which was between the main force and reinforcements. After Xeron died, although Leo ran back a considerable distance, not much time had passed since then, and it was unlikely enough for him to have run out the elves' ambush encirclement.

In that case, Alexander and Leo would have to be careful when moving around. They might even encounter elven patrols still in the vicinity.

Small-scale patrol units would be no problem. Given Alexander's current strength, plus Leo, they could easily escape as long as the enemies numbered less than two hundred and did not have any powerful high-level soldiers. If possible, Alexander did not want to escape. On the contrary, he planned to attack these patrols.

Since it was a rare chance for Alexander to have come to this world, after losing the restraint of the demon contract, Alexander was not in a rush to return to the Abyss. He rarely saw demons in groups in the Abyss, so how could it be as efficient as obtaining souls in this world?

He had consumed all the souls he had obtained, and Alexander wanted to make a 'beacon' and leave it in this world, so he certainly had to think of ways to get some souls.

Originally, the best way to make a beacon was to use your own soul fragment to make a demon creation. This way, he could easily locate this world through the special connection between his soul and the soul fragment. However, Alexander had seen many soul fragments since he was reborn, so he was very clear about the disadvantages that using his soul fragment would have. If he left a soul fragment in this world, what if someone discovered the demon creation, sensed the demon aura in it, and destAlexandered the soul fragment?

Not only would his beacon be gone, but Alexander would also be injured. It would be a huge loss.

Therefore, Alexander would not easily use his own soul fragments, let alone allow the soul fragments to flow out. Other demons might need to split their soul into fragments, but Alexander had the system, so he could use it to create this beacon. Why should he split his soul?

"Let's go, Leo!" Alexander called out to Leo after sorting out his thoughts.
