Chapter 433 - 434: The Human Race Treated Like Livestock!
Critical moment!
An invisible spiritual power strike accurately pierced the forehead of the Low-level Demon Clan!
"Ugh!"
The Demon Clan’s forward charge suddenly froze, the bone blade it raised stopped in mid-air.
The next moment, its figure suddenly fell to the ground!
This was Aster Grant taking action.
Though he’s not like Beastbond who possesses powerful skills.
However...
Gathering spiritual power and shooting it out like a needle is still incredibly easy.
Still, this move is completely ineffective against powerhouses of the same level; it’s only useful for bullying the weak.
Yet Aster Grant’s level has now reached Totem Level.
He can easily kill Monarch Level Demon Clan with this move; this Commander Level Demon Clan is certainly no match for him.
After dealing with this Demon Clan, Aster Grant slowly appeared in front of the little girl.
He now has many questions that need answers.
His gaze fell on the little girl sitting paralyzed on the ground, trembling in fear, tears streaming down her face.
Let’s ask her!
Then Aster Grant’s gaze swept over several miner corpses on the ground that had just been killed by the Demon Clan.
His gaze turned to Sally.
And Sally instantly understood Aster Grant’s intention.
So Sally’s small body floated up, her hands forming a mysterious sign in front of her chest.
The golden clock rune on her forehead lit up, the Time Law rippled around her.
This law spread out, gently covering the miner corpses.
A miraculous scene occurred!
The blood flowing from the hideous wounds on the corpses began to flow backward strangely.
The edges of the broken limbs emitted a faint glow.
Meanwhile, bits of extremely dim, nearly completely dissipated soul dust were forcibly pulled from the Void by the Power of Time, gathered back, and slowly injected into their respective bodies.
"Cough... cough cough..."
Moments later, the miners who had been dead began to cough weakly, their chests starting to rise and fall!
Though their faces were still as pale as paper, their breath weak, they’re indeed...
Alive again!
Seeing this, Aster Grant wasn’t surprised.
Sally already possesses the ability to control time.
Furthermore, these miners are ordinary people, not even Beast Tamers.
Reviving them costs Sally very little.
However, it was only at this moment that Aster Grant noticed an issue.
He’s seemingly missing a Beast Tamer!
In Azurea, regardless of age, everyone will undergo an Awakening ceremony.
No matter how poor the talent, they can become an Awakened Tier One Beast Tamer, contracting their first beast.
Yet here...
Everyone is an ordinary person!
"Dad!!"
Seeing her father revived, the little girl cried out in disbelief.
Then, she clambered over, tightly clutching her father’s cold hand.
And the other surviving miners, who originally looked ashen, were stunned by such a miraculous scene!
They opened their mouths wide, their eyes bulging like copper bells.
Looking at the companions slowly recovering life on the ground, then at Sally and Aster Grant floating in the air, radiating mysterious brilliance, their minds went blank.
"This... could this be... the legendary arrival of the Divine?"
"Only the Divine can possess the great power to resurrect the dead, right?!"
Aster Grant ignored the miners’ shock and slowly squatted down, facing the little girl.
In an extremely gentle voice, he spoke:
"Little girl, don’t be afraid, tell me, what is this place? Why... are the Demon Clan treating you like this?"
Aster Grant’s voice seemed to possess a peculiar magic that gradually calmed the little girl’s frantic heart.
She lifted her tear-filled face, looked into Aster Grant’s deep and calm eyes, and, sobbing, spoke intermittently:
"This... This is the seventh mine under Grakkar’s jurisdiction..."
"We... We are people from the Human Race captured by the Demon Clan..."
The little girl’s voice carried fear, yet she gradually laid out the information of this world before Aster Grant.
It wasn’t until the little girl finished speaking that Aster Grant finally understood.
In this world dominated by the Demon Clan, the Human Race is at the lowest rung of resources.
The powerful Demon Clan regards them as two-legged sheep that can be slaughtered at will, as prey that can be hunted anytime.
As for those slightly more robust with some utility value.
They’ll be driven to various mines, plantations, or construction sites...
To undertake the most burdensome, dangerous labor until they die from exhaustion, sickness, or are tortured to death by the Demon Clan. Their lives are as worthless as grass.
This mine belongs to a nearby Demon Clan city named "Grakkar".
The main task is to extract a mineral called "Demon Stone".
This mineral is a crystal of highly condensed Demonic Qi, of great use to the Demon Clan for cultivation.
Saying so, an elderly miner tremblingly took out a palm-sized, pitch-black mineral from his bosom, respectfully handing it over to Aster Grant:
"Divine Envoy... this is the Demon Stone..."
Aster Grant took the mineral, gently probing it with soul perception, and was immediately shocked!
The aura of this mineral...
He was somewhat familiar!
Whether it’s Muffy from the first Divine Realm or Mars from the Angel Encampment.
Both had fallen to Demon Clan through Demon Stones!
However, just as Aster Grant was lost in thought.
"Thunk," came a sound.
The elderly miner was the first to kneel.
He bowed heavily towards Aster Grant and Sally, tears streaming from his eyes:
"Divine Envoy! Please! Save us! Save the thousands of Human Race brethren in this mine! We... We can’t go on living!"
"Divine Envoy! Save us!"
With someone leading, all the surviving miners, along with the little girl.
Kneeling uniformly.
They bowed beseechingly to Aster Grant, their eyes filled with plea.
Looking at these raggedly-dressed, emaciated Human Race brethren, whose eyes held nothing but numbness.
Aster Grant fell silent.
His purpose here is to seek the Time Spirit Divine Pattern, he shouldn’t let himself get sidetracked.
The Demon Abyss is fraught with danger; exposure would have unimaginable consequences.
However...
To witness his kind being enslaved, slaughtered by the Demon Clan like pigs and dogs, while possessing power yet standing idly by...
He couldn’t do it.
Moreover, at this moment, even more excited than him...
Was Isabelle standing next to him!
"You all get up! No need to plead!"
Isabelle stepped out and blocked in front of Aster Grant.
Her gaze swept over the kneeling miners, those pure eyes burning with intense righteousness!
"I’ll promise this for Aster Grant!"
The Dragon Maiden raised her chin, her voice resolute:
"We will definitely rescue you all, and all those bullied by the Demon Clan in this mine!"
Aster Grant looked somewhat astonished at the Dragon Maiden beside him.
She clenched her small fists, her cheeks slightly flushed from excitement.
It’s as if those being oppressed were from the Dragon Clan instead!
However, Isabelle had expressed his stance.
Since he encountered it, he must save them!
