The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 270 Demon Warrior
It was already the second day within the Illusory World. Some applicants were close to completing the task given to them, and others already had some tokens at their disposal.
Seeing this, over eighty percent of applicants would definitely pass this assessment.
Lu Sulan and Long Meili were still watching the applicants with attentive gazes. The latter in particular was looking at Sylphie's screen with great interest. She finds the girl's personality to her liking and she doesn't mind if she becomes her coach.
“If this continues, most of them will pass the assessment.” Lu Sulan broke the silence.
Long Meili continued to stare at Sylphie's screen, but she still replied in a calm tone. “No problem. You know that not many will fail in this judgment. However, he said that more than half would fail the final assessment.”
Lu Sulan raised his eyebrows in surprise. “But isn't that the easiest assessment? Why did half of them fail?” He asked while feeling a little confused.
Long Meili glanced at him and said in a cold voice. “Master does not want rats to enter his territory.”
Lu Sulan's eyes shone with understanding after hearing those words. He then turned his gaze back to the screen in front of them.

Sylphie kept the token she had just obtained from the lower demons she had killed before. His face was covered in dust and dirt, but there was a bright smile hanging on his face as he exclaimed. “I only need three more to complete the assessment! But before that, I have to clean myself up first. This smell is killing me..”
Sylphie returned to the pool she found this morning and washed it clean. When he saw her drenched appearance reflected in the pond, bursts of complicated emotions surfaced in his heart.
“A little more. Once I become a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Tower, I will train hard until I become strong enough to avenge my family and the Iron Sand Kingdom! Of course, the first one on my list is Red Sun. Sect!” Sylphie clenched her fists as she muttered to herself. The anger in his eyes flared up like a raging volcano.
After cleaning his body, he then washed his clothes and dried them on the bonfire he had made. He then carefully wrapped himself in the fur of the ferocious wolf that he had hunted yesterday.
Wean. Wean.
The flame from the campfire created a crackling sound that somehow eased Sylphie's emotional state. He still remembers how his father taught him to make fire using materials they found in the forest. It was a happy memory that would always be in his heart.
Suddenly, Sylphie's ears twitched. He could hear the sounds of fighting from a distance. From the movement of the ground, he calculated that it was roughly a thousand meters away from him.
“This is weird. Lower demons were not so strong as to make this kind of commotion. Do some groups fight among themselves?” He muttered as he hurriedly put on his clothes. It was still a bit wet, but it did not hinder his movement, so he did not mind.
Sylphie ran towards the commotion quickly. He was quite curious about what caused the sound he heard. In addition, he was also worried that Jon's group was there.
Although Sylphie was not interested in Jon, she was still grateful for his help and it would leave a bad taste in her mouth if she left them there, she said, so he had to check the place out and see if Jon and the others were there.
***
Jon and Troy were both stunned when they saw the demon.
This creature had a dark purple skin with many prominent blood vessels all over its body. The demonic creature was also covered with ordinary metal armor and even its head was protected by a spiked helmet.
Even from a distance, this evil creature gave off a powerful aura that made the surrounding suitors feel fear.
Roaarr!!
It opened its mouth and let out a shrill cry that resounded within the forest.
Prince Dante had also managed to find the rest of his group, and they were all now staring at the demon with serious gazes.
“Sister Beiming, can you block his attack?” Prince Dante suddenly asked as he looked at Beiming Chu.
The latter was a little surprised after hearing the question, but he still replied with furrowed brows. “I don't know. I can't estimate the strength of this person, but it must be a peak rank seven Emperor realm beast. If my guess is correct, then I should be able to block two attacks from him.”
Prince Dante nodded. “That's more than enough, but we need to gather other applicants. We can't beat him alone. Brother Zhu, Brother Beiming, go and tell the others to come in this direction. I'll buy some time for you, guys, but you have to be quick. Brother, you must go with them.”
Beiming Chu and Zhu Ren nodded their heads when they heard her words, but Princess Sylvia was a bit worried about her brother. He could not let her fight the monster alone.
“Sister! But it-“
Prince Dante covered his lips with his hands and smiled at him. “Trust me. That man wasn't enough to kill me. Besides, I still have the protective item given to me by grandfather.”
Princess Sylvia was still worried, but when she saw her brother's confident expression, she could only nod her head reluctantly. “You must be careful. I'll hit you if you get hurt!” He threatens.
Prince Dante chuckled at his words. He then glanced at Zhu Ren and Beiming Chu. “I'll leave my sister for you two. Please protect him.”
The two men nodded their heads in earnest as they promised. “You hold my words. We won't let anyone touch it.”
Prince Dante felt confident in their words. Then he screamed. “Go!”
