Mystical Journey

Chapter 1327: Anti-Summons 1

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Dragons of Disaster was a code name for a group.

Most of them were at least demigods, because demigods could take advantage of people’s fears and draw strength from them to strengthen themselves.

Dragons of Disaster, as the name suggested, was to create disasters so that all lives would fear them, enabling them to gain more Fear-Power.

Ann was one of the three Monarchs, and now it seemed that this Fortress Master Lady Vengeance should be one of Ann’s students.

Garen slightly tested the other party’s understanding of Ann, and soon he began to relax. She was even clear about the place where Ann was now at.

Since it was completely confirmed, Garen felt at home with the other party. He told of the reason he was banished as there was nothing to hide about it.

“You’re really unlucky.” Lady Vengeance shook her head, and the red light in her eyes showed a trace of sympathy.

“I think so too,” Garen said helplessly. “Had it not been the necklace of the Dragons of Disaster trying to protect me, it wouldn’t have been exposed. If it were exposed anywhere else outside the city, it will not stimulate the Matrix Spirit of Snow City. That is to say, this series of chain reactions led me to this state that I’m currently in.”

“So what plans do you have? Is it just to stay here and be a general at my place, or…?” Lady Vengeance said, “To be honest, I personally hope that you’ll stay. I have just recently seized this fortress and haven’t gained a firm foothold yet. So as you’ve seen, even the Devil’s Army almost broke through to my door.”

“Sure. Anyway, I was just thinking of participating in the Blood Wars for a longer period of time and obtaining more souls.” Garen nodded.

“Alright then. I’ll just appoint you as the Deputy Fortress Master. You can form an army by yourself. Whether it’s made up of mercenaries or demons, it’s all up to you. You can freely obtain the materials from the warehouse.” Lady Vengeance was very trusting of Garen.

“Aren’t you afraid that I will take the things and leave?” Garen felt slightly strange.

“There’s nothing to be afraid of. The necklace on your body will enable Ann and us to find you at any time.” Lady Vengeance revealed a cunning smile.

Even though Garen did not know how he read this kind of emotion off a skeleton’s face.

“Ok…”

Garen had not expected things to have taken a new turn.

However, his current strength that was comparable to Level Twelve and was not considered too low to be a Deputy Fortress Master.

“It’s just that we’re now like generals without an army, so you have to go recruit more manpower.” Lady Vengeance scattered a vast amount of white luminous powder with a whoosh. The powder fell on the ground, turned into a round arch door, and a tall red skin demon with horns walked out of it.

This fellow was like a tall blacksmith, and his muscles were all bulky, like a magnified version of a male human. Its chest muscles were inlaid with a black round gemstone, and a faint roar like that of a bear could be heard coming out of it.

“Miss. What have you summoned me for?” The bullhorn-demon asked presumptuously.

“Bilu, this is Lord Garen, the deputy commander who has just joined us. Since you are also a deputy commander, you should get acquainted with him in the future.” Lady Vengeance pointed to Garen.

The demon named Bilu glanced at Garen his eyes and studied him seriously.

The strength that emanated from Garen’s muscles immediately caught his senses.

“Welcome aboard.” He stepped forward, walked over to Garen and extended out his hands.

Garen stretched out his claw and held his hand.

Sizz!!

The two thick arms exerted a great force, and Bilu’s entire body’s strength was activated. The blood vessels on his whole body was bulging. Looking up, he saw that there was no change in Garen’s complexion, who was still carrying the same faint smile.

“Terrific!” He took the initiative to let go of his strength.

Garen also followed suit.

“There’s still much to learn from you. Please teach and guide me in the future,” he said modestly.

“Rest assured!”

“Alright. Now that you two have met each other, our Vengeance Fortress will have to rely on your support. I normally will only come out to assume personal command when it’s the crucial Great Blood Wars period. The usual times will have to rely on you all.”

Garen understood the Great Blood Wars she mentioned. It was not all large-scale investment in the Blood War every time but usually just small-scale killing. After a while, a great company would be dispatched for the decisive battle. At this time, there would even be the presence of those above Level Ten.

Generally, there were only Level Eight or Nine at most.

After that, Garen stayed in the Vengeance Fortress. With his relationship with Ann, Lady Vengeance seemed to trust him very much, and almost all the affairs were handed over to him and Bilu.

Bilu was a Level Thirteen forged elder demon, which was a branch of the Balor Demons. There was a large number of Tanar’ri little demons and Demonic Behemoths under his command, and they were also his assault elites. There were also some mercenaries who had just recently joined him.

After Garen came aboard, he acquired the control of a group of miscellaneous army and the control of three Dimensional Random Teleportation Portals.

The purpose of the Dimensional Random Teleportation Portal was to randomly recruit mercenaries who could potentially appear on the Outer Plane.

Sometimes, it was some hapless fellow who accidentally entered the Abyss when the teleportation failed; while some other times, it was some idiot who was framed by others and was teleported here.

Most of those in the army were practitioners who took the initiative to participate in the Blood Wars. Their strength level was uneven, but the lowest was Level Four. Nonetheless, Level Four in the Abyss was equivalent to a little demon, which belonged to the vulnerable group and was only slightly stronger than the Demon Maggots.

The Dimensional Random Teleportation Portal was the first source of conscription.

The second was that the demons would gather at each layers to help out and participate in the Blood Wars. This was the strategy decided by the masters of each abyssal layers. The Abyssal Layer Masters were the famous Thanes of Abyss from all of the Planes, and they were not someone the Thanes of Fortress could not compare with. Most of them were the lower Divine Power Level, and the stronger ones could even compare with the powerful Gods. The span was enormous. Moreover, their status and authority had been acknowledged by the Will of the Abyss, and they had a lot of mysterious and unknown abilities.

This part was not managed by the Fortress Masters, but they could fight for these armies’ battlefields to join with their Fortress.

Garen’s second source of conscription was to fight for the cantonment of these armies.

The third was the edge of the Underworld River.

That was where the famous Demon Larvae were. During the seasons, both sides of the Underworld River would have a vast number of foolish creatures and souls that died from pursuing evil.

Under the development of the Underworld River and the Power of Abyss, these souls would gradually turn into cocoons and then break out from it, becoming the demons’ favorite food – larvae.

Larvae were usually born not even reaching Level One. Apart from their sharp teeth and tone, even an ordinary human soldier could kill them.

However, as they devoured and killed each other to evolve, their level of strength would gradually increase. At the same time, they would evolve into different kinds of demons according to geographical factors and other conditions.

This was the largest and most important source of conscription. Vengeance Fortress occupied thousands of square kilometers of the Underworld River Plain, and half the area was also divided to Garen.

These were the basis of the three major sources of troops, and one could recruit high-level generals and cannon fodder. After learning about the situation, Garen roamed about the Vengeance Fortress.

The Forging Department was managed by an old gray dwarf man, who was a slave to Lady Vengeance. In addition to working hard to survive, he could not escape due to the power of the contract.

For the Logistics Department, a Six-Armed Snake-Demon was in charge of it. This fellow was greedy and lascivious. He was also responsible for the distribution of the slaves captured from the war. Before Garen had made any moves, this fellow was sensible enough to take the initiative to curry favor with him.

The rest of the little generals on patrol were a mess, often killing each other and switching. Garen could not be bothered to pay any attention to them at all, but familiarized himself with the main characters.

After that, he went directly to the Cultivation Room assigned to him. It was a large floating building, just behind the right side of the Fortress. On the edge was the Fortress’ Pillar of Fire that was never out.

The Pillar of Fire rose to the sky, like a plume penetrating the clouds, and it was surrounded by a large number of protective runes. There were also many wizard slaves working hard to repair and maintain the Rune Matrix.

Garen’s house was a white, cold villa that looked like a birthday cake.

He shrunk his body size and flew in from the main door. There were already two Succubus with a long tails kneeling on the ground to pay their respects.

“Welcome back, Master!” Except for the tail, the two Succubus looked almost similar to the pretty ladies of a human beings. Their skin was tanned, their figures were smoking hot, their long hair were loose, and their hips were slightly raised, giving off an infinite temptation of sexiness. Coupled with their natural charm, which was a kind of spell, theirs were radiating their magnetism all the time. That was why this kind of creature was a kind of resource goods in the Abyss.

It was noted that these two Succubus were above Level Five. As a biological tool for seduction, this level was very high. Obviously, they were carefully selected by the Six-Armed Snake-Demon from logistics.

However, Garen did not really appreciate this kind of creature very much. Due to his former identity, he preferred purebred humans.

Shrinking his size, he flew in from the main door. A large number of dark blue crystal lights automatically lit up on the inside.

A variety of furniture were available, and the most prominent of which was a large collection of jewels and gemstones of various colors placed at the center.

When Garen saw this, even though he knew that the value of these things were not that great, but because of his Dragon Clan’s nature, his mood was still quickly brightened up.

What surprised him was that there were three familiar figures tied up in a corner and could not move.

They were actually the three Blasphemy Knights who were previously captured by him.

“It’s you again!!” The male knight glared at Garen.

“Master, this is the contract of the three slaves.” From the side, a Succubus wiggled its waist and gently leaned on Garen, handing a black leather paper roll.

Garen took it and skimmed through the contents. It was a Soul Contract which was written in the Demonic Language, and it was nothing more than a stipulation that these three guys could never betray him.

“Then again, I’m a male. What do I want males for?” Garen also felt that the male Blasphemy Knight was an eyesore.

With a wave of his hand, the male knight’s contract was thrown to the Succubus. “Take it to the logistics and sell this fellow. I don’t need any species other than female humans and elves.”

“You!!”

“Don’t!!” The female knight, Irene, begged. “I beg you, don’t sell off big brother!”

“Irene, don’t beg. Isn’t it just re-selling again? At this point, what else is there to be afraid of!?” The male knight was strong-willed.

The other female knight simpered however.

“I’d be very happy to serve such a strong powerhouse like Lord White Dragon.”

“Shameless!”

“What is there to be shameless about? It’s just to live a better life.”

“Even if we fall, we would not be called a knight if we break the Cavaliers’ principle!!” Irene argued.

“Rena! I can’t believe you are such a person!” The male knight showed a disdainful look.

“Alright, alright. At this point, everything is up to me.” Garen walked over, grabbed Irene and looked whimsically at her.

Although she was wearing a dirty knight armor, it still could not stop Garen’s savage sight.

She felt that her entire body was seen clearly as though she was not wearing any clothes.

“Aptitude is good. You can be a seed.”
