Himmel Soan nodded. He didn’t mind who the group leader was, as long as it wasn’t himself. He was glad somebody took the responsibility, so of course, he wouldn’t object to the idea.
Just like that, Himmel Soan’s group reached a consensus.
The others only viewed it as a farce because they all knew Himmel Soan’s group was the bait. There was no need to introduce themselves. They wouldn’t live for long.
Did they need to know one another?
Of course not.
That was what they believed, but they wouldn’t say that aloud. They couldn’t tell the group that they were going to be sacrificed. What if one of them refused to accept their fate?
Therefore, the other demons only watched as the group members greeted one another.
Shortly after, it was nightfall. All the groups had elected their leaders, but the bald demon was still the captain of the entire team.
Members of several groups held grudges against one another, but with what they could potentially gain, they endured the other demons’ presence. Upon entering the tomb, they would part ways anyway.
Some groups were more united than others. They even agreed to help one another inside the tomb. The bald demon’s team was like that.

The bald demon told his strategy to enter the tomb. It was pretty much as the others had anticipated.
Himmel Soan’s group was indeed the bait. Of course, that wasn’t said specifically in the plan.
The bald man only said, “You guys catch their attention, and we’ll cover you.”
Everybody knew what that meant, but no one in Himmel Soan’s group protested. They knew they were being used, but they had their own desires. As long as there was a possibility to enter the tomb, they didn’t mind being used as cannon fodder.
“Alright. It’s time for you to draw their attention,” said the bald demon.
“Yes…” said the four demons.
Their voices were trembling, and they were shaking from head to toe. On the other hand, Himmel Soan acted perfectly calm. The five of them headed out with various thoughts in their minds.
“Don’t worry, guys. I’m sure when we distract the guards, the others will jump on them. After that, the guards will leave us alone!”
The group leader tried to encourage the others, but his words felt empty. He had little confidence in what they were doing. But after coming this far, he wouldn’t give up so easily.
It was the same case with the other members of the group.
“Let’s go!” said the group leader.
“Where’s our fifth member?” He suddenly realized one of the members was missing.
Himmel Soan was nowhere to be seen.
“He’s already on the move. Let’s go,” said another demon.
“Alright! Let’s go!”
The other four demons caught up with Himmel Soan, all feeling they could die at any moment.
“Dude, why are you so calm?” the group leader asked.
“I guess I’m alright,” said Himmel Soan.
“Aren’t you scared?”
“Maybe a little.”
The group leader didn’t know what to say. He didn’t seem scared at all!

He was way too calm!
“Why do you want to come here?” Himmel Soan asked.
What? Why did he suddenly ask that question?
They didn’t think much of it. The group leader said, “I only have ten years left, and I can’t make a breakthrough before my time is over. I have to take my chance here.”
Another demon said, “I want to get stronger. I don’t want to be a loser anymore.”
“…”
They all had different reasons, but their purpose was the same. They all wanted to get stronger and improve their capability.
The four demons all looked at Himmel Soan.
“My goal is to find my partner. I can help you get into the tomb, you’re on your own afterward!”
At that moment, the guards spotted them. Their mission was accomplished. Immediately after that, all five of them vanished.
“Where are we?” The group leader was dumbfounded.
He was sure the guards had seen them, and they were under attack. How did they arrive here? What just happened?
