Chapter 919 Wrong Person to Offend
It was nearing midnight, the time of peak power for nocturnal creatures.
A searing heat brushes away the cold embrace that should be present, an uncomfortable sensation for anyone who is near. Damned whisperers of souls were permeating the entire forest landscape, frightening the faunas that were now stripped from their powers.
Snivels and yells of animals could be heard, fleeing the source of this ominous air.
Nothing remained near this hazardous sensation.
Choosing to flee at the sign of danger turns out to be the best choice as distant footsteps, stomping against the earth could be heard approaching from afar. It sounded like a disorderly march of a horde of thousands.
As it got closer, the ominous sensations intensified to an extreme degree.
Paving a violent path through the forest like a tide of blackness is a legion of Demons.
Moving like feral beasts, surging forward with malice.
Bigger ones gallop with four limbs, other smaller ones jump from tree to tree, and the stronger ones sprint with upright bodies. Growls and barks were run free from their demonic fang-filled mouths, dripping with savageness and anger.
It was a depiction of violent emotion, transferred from their leaders. 𝓞𝐕𝓁xt.𝑐𝓞𝗆
Just a moment ago, the news came that two legions of Rastrikan Demons were slaughtered.
Surviving Rastrikan Demons conveyed the situation to the other Demon Lords.
Upon receiving the news that Demon Lord Ranath and Olgaroz were defeated by an army of Dwarves led by a powerful individual called Rex Silverstar, Demon Lord Mazel was outraged, fuming with anger that activated his Sin of Wrath.
More so when he knows that Demon Lord Ranath and Olgaroz couldn’t be revived.
An incident that he didn’t expect to happen in the new era.
Nevertheless, the anger didn’t cloud his mind and dissuade him from taking a completely rational decision, pushing away his pride and asking his comrades, Demon Lord Aructh and Kirgil to join forces against the Dwarven Army that is hunting them.
Similarly, Demon Lord Aructh acknowledged the rationality and agreed to stick together.
However, that wasn’t the case for Demon Lord Kirgil.
Despite the fact that two legions were slaughtered completely, boasting the power of their enemies, he’s still too prideful to work together and instead, decides to hasten his pace to the Dwarven Kingdom.
In front of the legion of Rastrikan Demons, the two Demon Lords were leading at the front.
One is a slender but tall Demon while the other is hulking and burly.
Demon Lord Mazel is a slender and tall Demon, with a hunched yet towering posture. His abnormally long claws scraped against the ground as he moved. Despite his calm demeanor, his lips bore a perpetual and unsettling smile.
Judging from his facial structure, a smiling face is his resting or stoic expression.
Riding a creature, a fiery shark entirely composed of hellfire beside him is Demon Lord Aructh.
Compared to Demon Lord Mazel’s slender and tall figure, Demon Lord Aructh possessed a monstrous, broad physique. He wielded two fiery spears in both hands, his impatience to confront the opposing force evident in his expression.
“Blasphemous creatures, I will put an end to them” Demon Lord Aructh mused.
It seemed he felt humiliated more than anger.
Knowing that even the Leaders of the current high-rank Supernatural races would’ve thought for the second time about confronting them, Demon Lord Aructh considers what this measly Dwarven Army has done as stepping too far.
Opposed to fighting back, they should’ve bowed their heads and served the Demons again.
But that option was thrown out of the window now.
Since it has come to this, the Rastrikan Demons were forced to genocide the Dwarves.
Like any other conquerors, the Rastrikan Demons were not having fun if they were the ones on the losing side. So this loss would need to be repaid through blood or else other Supernaturals would view them lighter than before.
Soon enough, followed by the legion, the two almost reached a clearing of the forest.
A waterfall could be heard nearby.
Swoosh!
Penetrating through the forest and stepping into the clearing of the forest, Demon Lord Mazel and Aructh halted their march abruptly. Across the river is the army they were looking for, the Dwarven army that is already ready for a battle.
Each of them stacked shoulder to shoulder, clamping their bodies together.
Mounted Dwarves could be seen at the center of the army, ready at a moment’s notice.
However, Demon Lord Mazel and Aructh’s attention was drawn beyond the Dwarven army, where a barbaric and grotesque sight unfolded, sending shivers down their spines. It was a shocking sight, one that could even shame the devil’s own devilish feats.
Both of their eyes bear witness to hundreds of Demon carcasses, nailed to the trees.
All of the fallen Rastrikan Demons were nailed to the trees.
Each tree stood as a macabre testament, bearing the weight of more than a dozen carcasses in a nightmarish display of demonic arboreal horror. Limbs and body parts were grotesquely intertwined, twisted into unnatural configurations, and contorted to encase the entire tree’s form with the remnants of the fallen Demons.
On top of that, the remaining carcasses were tied and drowned in the streaming river.
It was a testament that even scared the Dwarven Army.
Although not the intended recipients of the intimidating spectacle, their bodies trembled visibly, their armors producing faint clinking sounds due to that, and the mutated bears they rode grew increasingly difficult to control, feeling extreme unease.
Someone who could come up with such an intimidating display is definitely not normal.
Offending such a person might be the worst mistake anyone could make.
At the center of it all is a figure, seated with his legs spread on a boulder in a relaxed posture.
Judging from the sharp aura, it was obvious that he was the leader.
“Rex Silverstar…” Demon Lord Mazel uttered.
Not stopping at the gruesome aftermath of the slaughtered Rastrikan Demons, Demon Lord Mazel, and Aructh were further stunned when they noticed an upright ice spike, drenched in thick blood from its base to its menacing tip, positioned behind the seated Rex.
A chain attached to two heads of Demons could be seen at the tip of the ice spike.
Swaying slightly by the night, blowing wind.
Rested on either side of the boulder Rex is sitting are two demonic hearts and two Sin Epicenters, helping both of them to recognize the two Demon heads on the tip as none other than Demon Lord Ranath and Olgaroz.
Killed from the ambush, and now their heads become a decoration of horror.
It takes a moment to wrap their heads around this situation.
Upon realizing that they were mocked, and their fallen comrades were disrespected even in death, Demon Lord Aructh has his entire body trembling with fury, and the demonic energy around his body starts to increase.
Not once in his entire life that he was confronted with such a situation.
Despite having needed to deal with intimidation such as this regularly in the past, nothing surpassed this one, he was completely baffled and ultimately surged with anger at this entity called Rex Silverstar.
Since he is the leader, he must’ve been the one who came up with this barbarity.
Crack!
Swoosh!
Overwhelmed with anger that was boiling inside of him uncontrollably, Demon Lord Aructh controlled the fiery shark and lunged across the river aiming at Rex at the center who still didn’t seem to be concerned.
Even though an attack was coming, he didn’t move from his spot.
Raising both spears wielded in his hands, Demon Lord Aructh roared menacingly.
However, when the tip of his spears was about to touch Rex’s chest, a shadow moved from behind and landed a powerful drop kick right on his face, hurtling him away back across the river and sending him back, right beside Demon Lord Mazel.
In addition, the fiery shark was relinquished with a swing of a pair of daggers.
“Rex…” A soothing voice called out to him.
Standing before him is Adhara, she was the one responsible for intercepting Demon Lord Aructh’s attack. She had already activated her Herald Mark and also her elemental prowess, turning herself into a combination of powers that couldn’t be ignored.
Adhara then said, asking for permission, “Let me try fighting the two of them first”
“What makes you think I’ll allow that?” Rex asked, calmly.
Upon hearing this, Adhara turned her face away again while tying up her hair into a ponytail using her violet fire. “I may not reached a higher realm but, that doesn’t mean I haven’t improved. Let me test them so that you can gauge their powers and end them swiftly”
“I may not win, but I’m confident I won’t die” She added, confidence in her voice.
Rex remained silent when he heard this.
<nulli>When she said it like that, it was hard for me to refuse her. But then again, those Rastrikan Demons are clearly shaken by my display. Even if they could defeat Adhara, I could step in any time and it wouldn’t be a problem.
Pondering briefly, he decided to wave his hand in agreement.
“Just remember, I don’t like to see you hurt. So don’t make me regret this” Rex replied.
Giving a thumbs up, Adhara nodded in understanding.
Rex stood up from the boulder and took a few strides forward before letting Adhara fight against the two Demon Lords. In a heartbeat, his power surged forth and weighed down on the surroundings strongly.
surrender and not end up like these fellow comrades of yours”
“For you to surrender, you are only required to… kneel” Rex added, “It’s an honor to meet the two of you, Demon Lords,” He said, his voice daunting and clear.
Pausing for a moment to let the tension rise even more, he then continues, spreading his arms to the side. “I have something to say before my Female Alpha here, has a go against the two of you. Since I am kind and a magnanimous person, I will offer you a choice to surrender and not end up like these fellow comrades of yours”
“For you to surrender, you are only required to… kneel” Rex added, grinning mischievously.
Upon hearing this, Demon Lord Mazel and Aructh were outraged.
Despite the view of gore behind him that was clear to see, his shamelessness knows no bounds, offering an option to surrender when the two obviously couldn’t. Both of them were here to save the face of the Rastrikan Demons.
Revenge is their motivation to come here.
At first, ambushing him was the plan. But it seems Rex has already anticipated them.
“I swear upon the Origin! I will have your head today, Rex Silverstar!!” Demon Lord Aructh roared in anger as he recovered from the attack, exploding his demonic energy into the area, an outburst of his anger.
But this was replied with nothing but a condescending chuckle from Rex.
This response made Demon Lord Aructh grind his teeth in anger, the humiliation was too much, and it was almost as if Rex wasn’t taking him very seriously. Nobody, especially knowing the Rastrikan Demon’s reputation would not be fearful of them.
Giving no proper response, Rex turned around and headed back to the boulder again.
It makes it evident that he didn’t view Demon Lord Aructh as anything.
As Rex settled back onto the boulder, his legs crossed in a leisurely manner, Adhara took confident strides forward in exchange. Her fiery eyes blazed with anticipation, her body poised and ready, eager to engage in the impending battle against the two Demon Lords.
“My apology, but to fight with the Alpha, you have to go through me first”
Psshh…
Crack!
Simultaneously, the blazing fire around her body becomes even brighter and hotter while her body slowly makes cracking sounds as she slowly transforms into her Werewolf form, a form that the two Demon Lords have never seen before.
“Come, let me stimulate your powers to see if you’re even worthy to fight the Alpha…”
Exposing an excited grin, Adhara taunted the two with her hand.
Upon hearing the arrogant tone in her voice that seemed to be confident in fighting the two of them at once, Demon Lord Mazel and Aructh burned with hellfire before the two quickly lunged forward.
Meanwhile, on the back, Rex watches this with the same grin as Adhara.
<nulli>Don’t want to kneel? No matter. I’ll make sure before this concludes, you will bow before me.
