"We need backup over here," someone suddenly said through the stone.
Luke didn't recognize who the speaker was as Cedric demanded, "What's happening over there?"
"There's a troll," the person said before they were cut off by a scream.
Everyone exchanged worried glances as Cedric tried to get in contact with the person again to no avail. Trolls were far bigger and dumber than hobgoblins. However, they were far more durable, and their sense of smell was stronger. That itself wasn't a problem. The problem was that there had been no news of a troll before.
The prophets had said they'd only seen mostly goblins and hobgoblins roaming around in town. There had been the occasional orc and ogre, but no mention of trolls. The fact that they had somehow missed a hulking demon was a big red sign that they might have missed more th

"There was a woman. She was leading the troll," Boyd said."What?" Cedric said.Luke's attention was fully on the conversation, as Boyd said, "She told it to attack us before telling it to follow her. I'm not sure which way she went, but I think she's going to attack one of the other groups."This was bad. Luke didn't think one of the higher demons would actually show up here. He had assumed they would only send their minions to do their dirty work. This completely changed things more than if it had been just the troll. None of them knew what they were up against, as it was clear Boyd didn't know anything about her as she had chosen to stay on the sidelines the entire time.At least he was able to tell them what she looked like before he finally succumbed to his injuries. It wasn't much, but it was better than nothing.

"Look at what we have here," said the woman as she watched the humans scatter and panic.They were clearly unprepared to be attacked. It was pathetic and hilarious to watch them run around like insects as they tried to cling to their lives. To be fair, she doubted anyone would be prepared to be faced with pieces of rubble being flung at them. They could only get away with it because of the troll's size and strength. Otherwise, they would have simply stormed up to the survivors.She didn't understand why the demon king had ordered the demons to stay away from this town. Many had thought it was because there was something dangerous about demons being hidden there or that the demon king had a secret weapon stashed away. All they had encountered so far were a bunch of weak humans. There were also the heroes that had shown up, but they had already been dealt with.

The man quickly followed the command and started giving the groups directions to where he could see the troll. It didn't take long for the demons to figure out what they were doing and launch a counterattack. Basically, it boiled down to them also throwing rocks and rubble at the man giving out the directions. Fortunately, he managed to avoid being crushed to death.Even if he had died, there were a few others who could also see through the illusion and tell the groups where they needed to go. They alternated to make sure the groups would have the directions they needed. Luke wondered what they all had in common that let them see through the illusions, but he didn't have time to think about it as he helped those that had been hurt by the flying rocks.On some of them, he held a hand to the injuries to put pressure on the wounds until Grace could heal them. For others, the best he could d

After Jon barked out commands, he turned his attention to Luke and his party and said, "Come with me."Without hesitation, they and Cedric followed the man. Most people ignored them so they could carry out Jon's orders, though a few did stop to stare at them solemnly. It was honestly disappointing in Luke's eyes. They were supposed to be prophets, yet none of them could see that their future was doomed. There was no way they could come back from this.While it was true that they had left some people back at the camp, the majority had come with them to fight. They had created five groups to fight the demons. It was six if they counted everyone who hadn't been put in a designated group as its own group. Now they were down to two groups, with almost all their fighters injured or unable to fight.Luke couldn't see how they would be able to get out of this situation, and he knew Jon knew this. He wondered if the man would beg or blackmail him into staying, as he coul

"What? Why would you want to stay longer?" demanded Bobby, as everyone thought the same thing."The truth is that my healing magic has been getting stronger since I started learning under Rose," said Grace."You're talking about the old lady from before," said Bobby. At her nod, he said, "That's great and all, but why should we stay just because of that? I'm certain you can learn without her help."She shook her head. "Before coming here, all I've been able to do is heal minor injuries at best. It's been more than six months since we came here, and I've barely improved. After learning under Rose, I can now heal a little more serious injuries. I'm certain if I continue to study under her, I might even be able to heal fatal wounds."This news shocked everyone. Well, most of them. Luke had seen a little of what she could

Luke could still scarcely believe that Grace would do something so foolish without letting him know as soon as possible. She should have let him know about this earlier, and he would have done his best to make the best of it before things got to this point, but it was too late now. He could only see one way forward, and that meant reevaluating his plans."I say we stay," said Luke."What?" said Bobby."I know it's not ideal, but we don't want to risk Grace receiving a punishment. We don't know when she will receive it or what kind of punishment it will be. It'll be bad if she is unconscious while we are trying to leave the town," he said, reminding them of their previous ordeal.Everyone except for Jon grimaced at the reminder. None of them wanted to go through that experience again. It was the reason Grace had gotten

Chris made it sound like it was that easy when everyone knew the contrary. There were so many things to consider that it wasn't even funny. How exactly were they going to track her down? She had managed to avoid being noticed for this long. If Boyd hadn't survived long enough to tell them about her presence, none of them would have known she was there.All they would have known was that there was a troll roaming around. In fact, things might have turned out worse as Luke didn't think to tell them about her ability to use illusions. Then no one would have been able to actively look for the illusion hiding them and spot the troll in order to tell Santiago and Clayton's groups where to go.Also, if she was strong enough to control a troll, who could say they would be able to take her on even if they did find her? It was more likely that many people would die in the attempt, and they didn't
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 194: Hunting Down a Demon (1)
As expected, it wasn't easy trying to track the woman down. They had scanned the area where she was last heard from, but there wasn't a single trace of her. The heroes did find the corpse of the troll as well as the bodies of their fallen allies. They were able to safely bring the corpses back to the camp so they could be given a proper burial.Surprisingly, Clayton and Santiago weren't dead, but it might have been more merciful if they had died. Clayton's face had been so badly mauled that no one could recognize him if not for the armor he was wearing. The poor man couldn't see, breathing was difficult with a missing nose, and he couldn't talk with a missing tongue. It was an ugly sight.Santiago's fate wasn't any better. The bones in his legs had been broken as his legs had been twisted beyond recognition. With how messed up they were, they had to come to the painful decision to cut th
