Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord - Chapter 164
164 I Handed Them Over Willingly
Not too far away, the Light-Types and their Lords watched. They were waiting for Lord Bevin’s signal. After he gave them the signal, they would rush out and ambush the enemy.
Lord Bevin didn’t give them a signal yet. So, they waited. They weren’t in a hurry. They thought Lord Bevin was talking with Su Wan to make her feel more comfortable, so she would lower her guard. It would be easier for them to ambush her.
They didn’t know that the gems they cared about the most had already been offered to Su Wan.
Su Wan smiled and took the gems from the Red-Eyed Black Dragon.
!!
“Xu Yuan, now we have five more gems! That means five upgrade stones!” said Su Wan happily.
Originally, there were ten contestants with ten gems. Su Wan had one gem of her own in the beginning. But she had snatched away the gems from Lord Gadar and Lord Evelyn. Then she had gotten a gem from Lord Lina. Lord Bevin had handed his gem over to her as a sign of trust. That meant a total of four gems. She now had three more. Including her own, she had eight gems in total.
Su Wan had to keep her own gem with her so that it could be counted at the end of the competition. She had already spent two gems on upgrades. So, there were five gems left for further upgrades.
“I will say this again, Xu Yuan,” said Su Wan. “We will take turns upgrading buildings, alright?”
Su Wan was still afraid of being tricked by Xu Yuan. She didn’t ban him from upgrading them. She negotiated with him, so it would be fair to both of them.
Su Wan was still happily discussing it with Xu Yuan. The Light-Types were getting impatient. Lord Bevin still hadn’t signaled them.
Right at this moment, a strange thing happened. The sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder rumbled in the distance.
The black pillar of light collided with a four-colored pillar of light, resulting in a terrifying explosion. The ground shook.
“That’s not good! There is no time. We should do it now!”
The Light-Types didn’t wait for Lord Bevin’s signal. They attacked.
In an instant, the trap was activated, and Su Wan was at the center. Three huge walls of light rose from three different directions and enveloped Su Wan.
Lord Bevin saw this and panicked. He had discussed with the Light-Types that they would only attack after his signal. They couldn’t even wait! He was also trapped now.
The three Light-Type heroes appeared from their hiding places.
“Hmph! An opponent who was so brutal that the Radiant Envoy died without being able to send out a full message! This is disappointing. I thought you would be stronger,” said the Starlight Swordsman. He looked at Su Wan and the two mini dragons beside her. They had overestimated Su Wan’s strength.
The Rainbow Pegasus spread his wings, “I can smell the aura of darkness in you. We, from the Holy Light, will judge you!”
The Rainbow Pegasus made it sound grander than it actually was. He was just trying to lump the three Light-Types together deliberately so that they could destroy this opponent and move on.
Su Wan sneered. She had known everything about this trap and ambush from the beginning. “Judge us?” She snorted. “You are just after these gems, aren’t you?”
Only now did the Light-Types realize that the gems were still inside the trap.
“Bevin, return the gems to us!” said the Light Mage.
Lord Bevin wasn’t feeling good about all this.
Su Wan pretended to be confused. “What?” she asked Bevin. “What do they mean, Bevin?”
Bevin lowered his head. He didn’t know what to say.
When the Light-Types saw Su Wan’s confusion, they thought their plan had gone quite well. She was still in the dark about the whole thing.
“You look so pitiful,” said the Light Mage to Su Wan. “I can’t believe you got rid of the Radiant Envoy.”
The Light Mage’s face was full of disdain. She wanted Su Wan to feel despair as she explained everything to her. “We set up this trap. We sent Lord Bevin to your camp as a spy,” said the Light Mage. “Clearly, we overestimated your strength. This trap was for you.”
Su Wan feigned disbelief. “Bevin, is that true? You are a spy?”
Bevin lowered his head in shame. However, Lord Bevin knew that his own hero had already turned to Su Wan’s side long before Lord Bevin got involved in the plan.
“That’s right, we were sent to lure you here,” said the Red-Eyed Black Dragon before Lord Bevin could say anything.
The Light-Types still couldn’t figure out that the Red-Eyed Black Dragon had been on Su Wan’s side from the beginning. They thought the Red-Eyed Black Dragon was just explaining to Su Wan to make her feel despair.
The Light Mage remembered the gems. “First get the gems back!”
The Light-Type heroes assumed that Bevin still had the gems in his hands. Bevin didn’t know how to answer them.
The Red-Eyed Black Dragon replied, “Gems? I already gave them to her!” He pointed at Su Wan.
When the Light Mage heard this, she was baffled. “What do you mean? Did she snatch it from you?”
Lord Bevin thought that the Red-Eyed Black Dragon would continue to act. However, the Red-Eyed Black Dragon answered them honestly this time.
“No,” he said. “She didn’t snatch it from me. I handed them over willingly.”
The Light-Types and Lord Bevin were stunned by his answer.
