A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 519 He’s Already Dead

“Grandpa…” Anna threw herself onto Joshua’s chest. Her little body was wracked by sobs.

“How… How could this be…” Sally took a couple of steps backward as all color drained from her face. Joshua’s final words had dealt a heavy blow to her, and she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. The ironic smile on Joshua’s face further compounded this effect.

She suddenly understood where the elven servants owned by her family had come from. All of them barely ever talked, and some of them carried disabilities. They never talked about their past, and their eyes were seemingly always blank and dead. Once free elves, they had been captured and brought back to the Wind Forest in the most brutal manner by the brethren they had once protected. They were like shackled animals, and their souls were most likely already dead.

The ideals that Sally had formed during her 20 years of education as the young mistress of a major family completely crumbled. The policies that she had once striven to protect suddenly appeared to be nothing more than a pitiful joke, and she realized just how cruel her vision to bring all wandering elves back to the Wind Forest truly was.

Orcs and demons were still hunting down elves, but the masterminds were the noble elves in the Wind Forest. How many more elves had to be hurt and captured before this came to an end? Was the Wind Forest destined to become a massive cage?

Anna’s broken sobs resonated within Sally’s mind, and her breathing suddenly accelerated as a burst of fury was ignited in her heart.

“All you bastards should die!” Sally’s gaze fell on the demons and orcs that had been bound by vines. Blue light flashed from the blue ring on her right index finger, and a silver bow appeared in her hands. At the same time, a quiver full of arrows appeared behind her back. She drew one of those arrows and nocked it on the bowstring before taking aim at a demon.

There were two intertwining ripples of shimmering blue light around the arrow, and it shot through the air!

“No!”

The demon let loose a shrill cry of despair. He wanted to evade, but the vines around his body instantly contracted to bind its legs together.

Splat!

The sound of flesh being punctured erupted alongside a howl of anguish. The arrow instantly pierced through the demon’s head, sending a pillar of blood gushing through the air.

As the demon slumped lifelessly to the ground, a second arrow had already been shot and buried itself into an orc’s heart.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

One arrow shot forth after another, harvesting the lives of the bound demons and orcs. The speed and accuracy of her marksmanship were truly astounding

“Big Sister Aisha is so cool! I also want to learn archery.” Amy’s little mouth was slightly agape as she looked at Sally’s exemplary marksmanship.

Mag was also quite surprised. He had thought that Sally was only a 7th-tier magic caster; he didn’t think that her archery skills would be so impressive as well.

Who would have thought that Madam Aisha’s archery would be so terrifying? As expected, everyone from Mamy Restaurant is extraordinary in their own way. All of the customers’ eyes widened upon seeing this. They had thought that Sally was quite haughty and aloof, but they now knew that her attitude was completely justified.

“I’ll be sure to look after her.” Blour knelt down beside Joshua and gently brushed his eyelids shut. He looked at the sobbing Anna in silence for a moment before standing up again. He turned to appraise Ebenezer, who was still locked in combat with Lulu, and a hint of killing intent flashed through his eyes. Countless vines erupted from the ground, intertwining to form a massive hand around five or six meters tall before slamming down on Ebenezer.

After taking care of all of the bound demons and orcs, Sally nocked three arrows at once and aimed all of them at Ebenezer.

A hint of panic appeared in Ebenezer’s eyes upon seeing this. Just Lulu alone was proving to be quite a handful, and he was now being targeted by two 7th-tier magic casters as well. All of his subordinates had fallen; the scent of blood was wafting through the air, striking him with a sense of impending doom.

“Fall back!” Xixi yelled.

Lulu slammed Ebenezer into the ground before lunging off to the side.

The massive green hand came crashing down violently, while the three arrows short forth in a single line.

“No!”

Ebenezer was almost knocked out by Lulu’s violent attack, but still he let loose a loud roar as he manifested a series of magic shields around himself. At the same time, he swung his weapons through the air to ward off the oncoming attacks, but his eyes were filled with despair. He knew that there was no way he would be able to survive this combination attack.

The three arrows pierced through the magic shields, and the first two snapped during the process, but the final one was heading straight for Ebenezer’s glabella.

The massive green hand had also descended with a sharp spike about half a meter in length protruding from the palm. Dark green light was shimmering on the tip of the spike.

Off to the side, Lulu was hunched over, ready to pounce and land the killing blow at any moment should that be required.

However, Ebenezer was surely already dead.

At least, that was what everyone thought.

Right at that moment, the ground suddenly began to tremor. A massive boar close to two meters in height crashed through the forest like a heavy tank en route to Lulu.

At the same time, a round ball-shaped figure emerged before crashing down heavily in front of Ebenezer. He stuck out a fat hand and caught the arrow that was hurtling toward Ebenezer’s glabella, and then raised a massive black shield with his other hand to ward off the oncoming green hand.

Lulu was sent flying for close to 20 meters by the charging boar before tumbling to the ground. His chest had caved in slightly, and many of his ribs had been broken. However, he still struggled to his feet, and appraised the massive boar with a grim expression.

The rapidly spinning arrow was caught by the massive hand, and couldn’t advance even a single inch further. Following a brief impasse, it shattered into specks of sawdust.

The massive green hand struck the black shield, creating a muffled thump. The sharp spike at the center of the palm was snapped during the clash before the hand exploded. All of the intertwining vines were severed into countless segments before falling like green rain.

“Come on now, is it really fair for so many of you little bastards to bully my brother like this?” The shield was slowly put down to reveal a fat black demon in the shape of a ball standing next to Ebenezer.

“Boss!” Ebenezer looked at Olef with unbridled elation in his eyes. He had resigned himself to death, but he had been saved. He glanced at Sally and Blour before whispering to Olef, “The old bastard’s dead, but those two know the location of our base now.”
