Chapter 679 Not For Long
?The Demon Lord was a fearsome and powerful being who had established the Behemoth’s Pillar, the united organization within the Abyss Realm that aims to conquer other realms for a specific purpose.
He had a height of about seven feet and a weight of about three hundred pounds. He had a muscular and imposing body covered with black scales and spikes.
He only had a pair of horns on his head, but it was the darkest it could ever be.
On his back was a pair of wings and a tail behind him. He also had a pair of red eyes that glowed with malice and intelligence.
As a Demon Lord, he wore a dark cloak and armor and carried a sword and a scepter that was fitting to his title. He was the ruler of the Abyss Realm and the leader of the Demon Saints.
He was the enemy of the Immortals, and the nemesis of the human world.
Although Zane and Zara had met him many times, they still couldn’t help but feel nervous whenever they met him.
They had always been awed and terrified by his presence and his power. Nonetheless, they had sworn their allegiance and their obedience to him, and they had received his mark and his blessing.
They then activated their communication devices and contacted the Demon Lord.
They told him everything that had happened and showed him the information and images that they had collected. They hoped that he would be pleased and reward them.
Then, they also expressed their gratitude.
“Demon Lord, thank you for saving us from those creatures…”
The Demon Lord listened to them and looked at the information and images.
He had a better look at the barriers used in the castle, the automaton, the golems, the Demihumans, the strange Artifact, and the castle itself that had a faint trace of Dragon. It wouldn’t be surprising if the castle had several Dragon Cores, powering its defense.
He was obviously surprised and intrigued by what they had found.
“Well done, Zane and Zara. You have done a good job. You have brought me valuable information. You needed to be rewarded.”
“We don’t deserve it, my Lord. You even have to save us.” Zara immediately said and Zane nodded in agreement.
“It’s alright… Sending you there while being suppressed by the Will of the Realm was too risky in the first place. Right, we also learned that the suppression had weakened a lot. Within two years, this suppression would no longer harm us.”
The Demon Lord said before he gave them some dark red potions and some rewards. These rewards seemed to have come from a different realm. They were precious stones that contained pure Divinity, and the two couldn’t help but feel excited about it.
There was nothing better than corrupting a pure divinity!
“You have proven your loyalty and your usefulness. You have also shown your courage and your resilience… Most importantly, you have returned to me alive. You are worthy of these rewards.”
The Demon Lord said as he didn’t accept any more rejection.
“You have done enough for today. You have to heal your wounds and restore your energy. You have to prepare for the next mission.”
“Next mission?” Zara asked in excitement. To be honest, they were quite bored staying in the Abyss Realm as well.
They would have more fun outside although a bit dangerous.
“Since you two have a decent grasp of the situation outside, I will have a new task for you…. You have to infiltrate the Arcane Bureau, and find out some of their secrets. You have to be careful and discreet. This mission can take more than a year. Assimilate with the humans well and slowly take control a part of the Bureau… Do you understand?”
“Arcane Bureau? Isn’t that where Number 24 got sent?” .
“He’s already dead… Not even his soul managed to return… That’s why I’m telling you to be careful. You don’t need to have a high position and just start from the bottom.”
Zane and Zara nodded and accepted his command. They weren’t too concerned about the death of another Demon Saint. Anyway, only Demon Saints with a specific set of skills like them could evade the detection of Immortals. They couldn’t pass this mission to low rankings demons as they could be easily detected.
“Yes, my Lord. We will do as you say. We will infiltrate the Arcane Bureau and find out their secrets…” Zane and Zara said in unison.
The Demon Lord nodded and ended the communication. 𝘪𝑎.
He then reviewed the information he got from Zane and Zara
“So, this is the that Shadow Immortal’s castle… You’ve been busy closing the gates we’ve made but this would be your downfall.”
After confirming that the Castle truly had traces of Dragons, the Demon Lord smiled and laughed. He said…
“The game is on, Immortal.”
***
After some time, Vale came back to the castle and found out what had happened.
First of all, he was grateful that no one was killed, and they drove away the Demon Saints. It was quite remarkable of them to do that without an Immortal’s help.
But, what amazed Vale the most was that Faith could actually use the Temporal Timepiece!
Even though it consumed vitality to operate, it still worked!
Moreover, since she was not the owner of the Timepiece, she was only tapping into its potential, and she hadn’t fully revealed its true power!
Vale wanted to see Faith and talk to her about the Temporal Timepiece. He was curious and excited about its abilities and secrets.
He wondered if he could use it too, and if he could learn more about this Temporal Timepiece.
Since it was one of the three items of the Paragons, he thought that it might be a crucial item against the Abyss Realm’s invasion.
He then went to Faith’s room, where he found her resting on her bed.
She looked pale and tired, but she also looked happy and proud… She had a smile on her face while holding the Temporal Timepiece on her wrist.
As she saw Vale entering her room, she greeted him warmly.
“Hello, Vale. I’m glad you’re back. How was your mission?” Faith asked.
On the other hand, Vale clenched his fist as he saw her body turning ethereal.
