The Kind of Evil

Chapter 164 - 164: Joy.

Silva and Videl returned and informed the others about the path they could use so the bandits wouldn't detect them. Silva then led the group to the other side of the mountain while at the same time scouting the area. He showed his ability to the fullest and led dozens of people to the summit without being seen by the bandits.

When they were close to the summit, the sun had set, and it was getting really dark, and they couldn't use the torches to avoid being detected. They could see the light in the distance, which meant they were close to the bandits' hideout.

A few adventurers scouted the area around the hideout, which was a massive flat land in between two summits with a small lake. A perfect place for people to hide and live unnoticed. They looked at the bandits who were lazing around and counted the numbers while they looked for the prisoners.

After ten minutes of scouting the hideout, they came back and informed everyone that there were more than a hundred bandits there. They also found prisoners in cages, including children, where one of them might have been the daughter that the knights were looking for.

"Let's wait until late at night," The knight captain said with his arms crossed. "We don't know anything about our enemy. There's a chance that a few of them have been possessed by demons.

After a long briefing, everyone rested until late at night to recover their stamina since they had just climbed the mountain. They were anxious, but they were confident with their numbers and experiences.

Silva was checking his sword and making sure it was sharp when he realized he couldn't find Videl anywhere. He wanted to find him, but the knight captain had ordered everyone to get ready. Everyone moved to their designated position and waited for the signal.

"Go!" The knight captain shouted quietly and ran toward the bandits' camp.

All the knights and the adventurers ambushed the camp and killed the bandits who were asleep. They managed to kill a lot of them unnoticed, and they immediately rescued the prisoners.

The knight captain looked at all the prisoners, but he couldn't find the girl he was looking for. When he was about to order his knight to keep

Videl was devouring all the demons and the souls they took. He felt the hunger within him was being satiated and made him even hungrier at the same time.
