Chapter 559: The Myth of the Demonic Realm (Part 2)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Scared? Yet just a moment ago, all of you were so excited.” Nailisi used her finger to poke at the demons’ heads.

The demons dared not argue back, but all secretly thought, “Since when were we excited?”

“Actually, I have nothing to lose. I intend to trick a few supreme demons over, one by one. Once they come over, we will all subdue them. We can do this three-hundred or even five-hundred times, surely there is bound to be one who is willing to be bonded. I can only be bonded a few times, so if one of the supreme demons agrees, I will not need demons anymore. At most, I will look for demonic spirits,” Nailisi said. The four demons began to panic. If Nailisi managed to subdue a supreme demon, then the four of them would be worthless to her.

Freedom or survival? Usually, demons would choose freedom. If Nailisi really were to become the strongest Luoluokaluo one day, then she could very well become a God or even something else that had never been seen before.

If that was the case, then the four demons still had a chance of becoming demi-gods and their lifespan could easily increase by up to one-hundred times.

To be able to obtain great power along with an incredibly long lifespan was a combination that even demons would find hard to refuse.

What if Nailisi were to be killed? Then the four demons would lose a part of their souls though.

“All of you seemed to have mentioned before about a myth from the demonic realm.”

Cuisi nodded. The myth did not appear out of nowhere. It had been passed down for tens of thousands of years and its source was unknown to even some supreme demons that had lived for more than ten-thousand years.

“I did not give the design of the devil armor to Master. Now that the four of you are wearing it, haven’t you thought about what it could mean?” Nailisi was an expert in manipulation. The soul bond must be a mutual agreement and it must be completed without any resistance from either side. Even if Nailisi threatened them with death, these four demons might still not agree to the soul bond.

The myths of the demonic realm were few and far between because the lifespans of supreme demons were simply too long. A few devils had even lived for more than ten-thousand years. Unlike other dimensions, myths from the demonic realm would have been passed on for more than ten-thousand years without too much changes or exaggerations to its contents.

This myth was different though. This myth described how a Luoluokaluo would lead four devils to conquer every dimension and build a demon kingdom. Supposedly, this took place in the two-hundredth demon era. By estimation, this meant it took place around three-hundred to five-hundred years ago.

If this prophetic myth were to happen onto Nailisi, then the four demons who had been given the devil armor could very well be the four devils that supported her.

Devils were all advanced from supreme demons. An ability of the Luoluokaluo would be to advance a demon directly into a devil.

“I will begin what I said once we return to Metatrin City. All of you still have time to consider,” Nailisi spoke patiently. Instead, the four demons began to answer frantically.

“Lord Nailisi, we are willing to follow you forever.”

That was when Nailisi finally smiled. Saleen was not willing to be bonded with these four demons because he was worried that if anything bad were to happen to him, Nailisi would be the one to suffer the consequences.

“If I were to be bonded to these four demons with soul bonds, then Saleen will also be able to command them directly and none of them will be able to resist.”

“Very well. Once we return to Metatrin City, I will sign the soul bonds with you. Capturing a supreme demon is still something we have to do. All of you must have some ambition. Don’t you wish to command a supreme demon into battle?”

“No, no, no. Master Nailisi, let’s sign the bond now!” Tolesi was smarter than the rest. Even if the four of them did not fully believe in Saleen, they had complete faith in Nailisi. Proactively signing a soul bond was entirely different from signing it passively. Besides, Saleen had also done many unexpectedly good things for them.

“What are the few of them doing?” Lex, who was overseeing the setting up of camp, asked Saleen.

Lex did not feel completely at ease with those demons taking the rear.

“There are enemies that are tailing us. They will stay at the rear so that we will not be taken by surprise,” Saleen answered calmly. The range of his senses went much further than the demons’. He knew that there were still beasts on the mountain that were spying on the swordmasters setting up camp. There might not be many of them, but that made them even more dangerous.

“Oh.” Lex did not think further. Bain was also keeping a lookout for anything from the mountain, while the two black metal grand swordmasters were also on guard on the other side. Neither teams would leave themselves unguarded when setting up camp.

“You are all very obedient. I like that.” Nailisi led the four demons behind a huge rock. The four of them knelt and Nailisi began to write demon words on their foreheads.

It was much simpler for her to sign a soul bond on her own since it was one of Luoluokaluo’s specialties. The first time she signed a bond was with Saleen. Nailisi was still filled with grief and indignation on that thought. A demon that prided herself on her ability to cheat still could not believe she was cheated by a human.

It was impossible to take revenge on Saleen now so she might as well vent her anger on others. Nailisi had faith in these four demons. She knew their fighting abilities very well. Average demons were not as powerful as Aiwa and the rest. Even Tolesi’s combat skills were still considered excellent amongst demons, he also possessed unique spiritual attack skills.

These four demons would be her trusted subordinates and they would also be able to sign bonds with other demons on their own. In that case, the number of demons she controlled would increase tremendously.

Cuisi and the rest were respectful throughout the entire ceremony and stood up only when it was complete.

“The myth should not be trusted entirely. Our Master is in so much trouble and there are tens of thousands who want him dead on this dimension. If Master dies, there is no meaning to my life either.…,” Nailisi pretended to be in a difficult position. Although the four demons were taken aback, they still tried their best to help Nailisi think of a solution.

“My lord, lord Saleen is very powerful. This devil armor possesses spatial manipulation abilities, even supreme demons might not have been able to build this armor. I think his ability to help others upgrade their fighting skills is something rarely seen on this dimension. We should help sir to recruit even more men.” Cuisi was not bootlicking Saleen. He was the strongest among the four demons so he had also seen and experienced the most. He knew that the meaning behind Saleen refining these devil armors was significant.

Saleen had also helped him to refine his whip again, and its power was incomparable to the previous version. The original whip was handy and smooth to use, but the current one had doubled his fighting abilities.

“Yes, Master’s water flame…,” Aiwa became a bit naggy at this point. He had seen Saleen performing alchemy before and the water flame seemed harmless and unimpressive so he wanted to try and touch it. He almost lost his life. “Master’s water flame is really powerful. I think he can kill a supreme demon with it.”

That was exaggeration on the part of Aiwa. If a supreme demon stood still on the spot, of course it would be killed by the water flame. Saleen’s water flame was not a spell for attack and could only be controlled within a very limited distance from him. It could not be manipulated in different directions nor initiate attacks on any targets. Unless the supreme demon was stupid, there was no way one could be burnt to death by the water flame.

The only way a supreme demon could be burnt to death by the water flame was if he was subdued for Saleen to burn him. In that scenario, one might as well stab him to death with a knife.

“Yes, yes. Master’s finger is incredible!” Luola added on. Saleen’s crystal finger was indeed powerful. If these four demons were within ten yards after Saleen had locked onto them as targets, there was no way they could escape.

“Master still has Metatrin City. I had never even heard of that city before when I was in the demon dimension,” Tolesi’s face was filled with envy.

Nailisi chuckled and said, “The four of you need not try to make me feel better. If we really want to build an army of demons, we need to help Master become even stronger first. Master has quite a few decent items that can equip a large number of demons. Demons are hard to control, so we will start with imps first. Among the imps, there is a clan called Spanvis. Their build is very similar to humans. Do you know of them?”

“Yes, but Spanvises are not very strong imps.” Cuisi thought it was strange that Nailisi would choose such a clan.

“So they are not powerful just because they are not very strong? Humph.” Nailisi did not elaborate. In any case, the four demons would not be able to go against her plans. Spanvises might not be strong, but among humans, only those that were at least the level of swordmasters would be able to possess similar amounts of strength.

If these imps were to be paired up with skeletal warhorses, they could form cavalries and become a force to be reckoned with in a battle on an open field.

“Of course, there is some sense in what my lord has said. If Master wishes to conquer the mainland, he will definitely need heavy infantry!” Cuisi reminded Nailisi. When attacking a city, foot soldiers would be extremely important. No matter how strong one’s cavalries might be, they would not be able to ride their warhorses over the city walls. In fact, the city walls of some bigger cities had magic arrays that could stop flying, so the best way to attack a city was still to use foot soldiers with weapons to attack the wall.

Of course, it would be even better if a grade-9 sorcerer could use a forbidden curse on the city. Doing so would lead all the great powers into a big battle and even if the city was eventually won, it would be so badly destroyed that there would not be any value in conquering it.

“Now is not the time to talk about this. Don’t worry. Since I have decided to use all of you, no supreme demons will take your places. Just do what you are supposed to do. There is trouble behind. Cuisi, go and settle it.”

Cuisi nodded. A few powerful beasts had crept down from the mountain and looked to be trying to sneak up on them. Along the way down, the demons used certain methods and ways to detect if anyone was tailing them. No matter how good these beasts were at covering up their tracks, there was no way they could turn invisible.

Ow…

Cuisi rushed up the mountain. The swordmasters heard the beasts howling the moment they finished setting up camp. With weapons that finally suited their grip, the fighting abilities of the demons had increased tremendously. Cuisi did not need any help to dispose of a few grade-5 beasts.

Lex heard the sounds of fighting at the foot of the mountain and finally believed that the demons stayed at the rear for security reasons.

It did not take long for Cuisi to return with a few magic nuclei in hand. Nailisi had completely won the loyalties of these demons. She felt very satisfied and said, “For magic nuclei of this level, you can all keep them for yourselves in the future. I will teach all of you a technique to absorb magic nuclei when we return.”

“Saleen, who will keep guard tonight?” Lex sought Saleen’s opinion. She had become aware of how her mages refused to help Eleanor and was afraid that there might be estrangement between both of them because of that.

“I will do it. I will only need to rest for one night before we reach the river.” Saleen was really not tired. Figuring out how to build the devil armor made him very excited. On top of that, it seemed that Nailisi had accomplished the task of taking in those demons. Saleen felt like his soul had become more powerful and his mental strength had increased considerably.

It seemed that signing a soul bond provided many benefits other than gaining control.

Night gradually came and there were beasts howling all around them. Within a few months, the number of living things in the Goddess’ dimension had become countless. It looked like the God was really about to appear!
