Chapter 1308: Who is that!?
The mysterious black fog, frenzied creatures, and the ruler of the abyss who had made a deal with the devil… All these made this island shrouded in the black fog appear mysterious and terrifying.
The legend had become a reality, and had appeared right in front of them.
What did Borg and Alfred, the paramount existences on this continent, saw in the black fog that made them willing to exchange their souls for power? And what kind of terrifying power did they want to obtain?
This was what made Mag feel really uneasy.
What kind of power was behind this black fog? And what was the agenda behind this deal? They knew nothing of them right now.
Borg had been already killed by him, and Alfred was currently getting stronger as he was accepting the deal. At the same time, this black fog could appear at many more places in this world.
Irina asked Mag, “What should we do now? Should we kill him while they are making the deal? After all, this damn fatty is at the very top of my must-kill name list.”
“You might be able to kill Alfred without the black fog. However, we might not be his match in this black fog.” Mag shook his head. He was rather wary of this black fog, and he didn’t want Irina to fight within it.
As the ruler of the abyss, Alfred was a powerful 10th-tier demon. His prowess was just beneath that of the ancestor of the abyss in the demon species. And after the infusion from the mysterious power, he most likely wasn’t weaker than Irina.
Killing Alfred was indeed an excellent fuse to stir up the internal strife in the demon species. But, this meant that they would have to conceal their identities completely, and find a chance to strike and kill on impact.
“Then, are we simply standing aside and watching him get stronger and stronger?” Irina frowned. Obviously, Borg, too, had made a deal with the existence in the black fog before becoming powerful and difficult to handle. She didn’t think it was a good idea to stand aside and watch Alfred get stronger right now.
“System, the consumption incurred by eradicating the black fog should be born by you, right?” Mag asked.
“This…” The system was a little hesitant.
“According to the countdown, the black fog would reach the second netting in another eight hours. By then, the black fog would be too widely spread to eradicate, and the entire crayfish rearing base would fall,” Mag said calmly. “I don’t really mind if I have to eat fewer crayfish.”
“I mind!” the system roared. The 300,000 crayfish had already made it lose 30,000,000 copper coins. There were still about 1,000,000 crayfish in the farm now, and the majority of them had reached the size qualifying them to be sold. It would lose all its investments if the netting broke again!
“Weapon authorization is completed. The consumption incurred by eradicating the black fog will be born by the System!” The reminder sounded.
“Very good.” Mag’s lips curled slightly as his fingers tapped around the main control panel quickly. The drone that was originally in scouting mode began to split into two. The camera began to pull up, while the round lower half began to rearrange rapidly to transform into a cone-shaped missile. It turned its direction around, and aimed at that vague stone statue in front of Alfred.
“Launch.” Mag pressed the red button with conviction.
Red flame shot out from underneath the missile, and the spiral-shaped warhead spun crazily as it flew toward the stone statue.
Alfred was shocked by the intense flame fluctuations exactly when the missile was fired. His immense fat body turned around agilely as his red eyes stared with shock and anger at that little silver thing that was travelling at a crazy speed. His hands that resembled millstones slapped the missile down hard.
Boom!
The millstone-like hands slapped the missile into the ground, but the direction of the missile wasn’t altered. It still barreled into that vague stone statue accurately before exploding.
They could see from the shaky images sent back by the camera that a red mushroom cloud rose up in the center of the island, and everything on it was blasted into smithereens, including those monkeys which had evolved successfully. Black dust was floating around the whole island, and caused some interference with the infra-red camera.
Shock waves from the explosion went into the sea, and those fish that went into a frenzy were almost all killed. Countless fish swam past the mobile restaurant as they escaped in the other direction.
Irina stared at that scene for quite some time as she blinked her eyes. She turned her head, and asked Mag, “Did you do that?”
“Did Father throw a fireball on that island?” Amy was also staring at Mag in a shock.
“You could say that. But, I still don’t know any magic.” Mag nodded. He, too, was astounded by the power of this missile. It actually flattened the whole island.
“I can’t see through you anymore.” Irina raised her eyebrow, but her eyes were smiling. Of course, it was better that her man was getting more powerful. And the more she couldn’t see through him, the more mysterious he was, and the more she wanted to find out about him.
“Father is so formidable. This is even more powerful than Amy’s fireball.” Amy entered into the fan mode as she looked at Mag with admiration glowing in her eyes.
After accepting the adoration and admiration from his wife and daughter graciously, Mag operated the camera closer as he said, “An explosion of such intensity shouldn’t have killed Alfred.”
As expected, after the dust settled, a crater that was over 10 meters in diameter appeared in the center of the island. Alfred’s figure appeared in the middle of that crater very soon. Although they couldn’t see the extent of his injuries, overall, all his limbs were still intact.
“That is indeed a top-grade meat shield.” Mag pursed his lips. Such an explosion should have even made a hole in a steel plate, but this chap didn’t even suffer a single scratch despite being in the center of the explosion. His defensive prowess was indeed beyond astonishing.
However, the mysterious stone statue in front of him had turned into rubble.
The weird thing was, the stone statue wasn’t crushed into dust like all the rocks around it. It was only shattered into 10-odd pieces of black rock, and the pieces were starting to get close to one another at a visible speed, as if tethered together by a mysterious force.
“Who is that?! How dare you ruin my affair!!” Alfred let out an angry roar as he held his giant iron club and swept around him with his reddened eyes.
The deal that was about to go through after three days and three nights of preparations was actually interrupted. He had only received half of that powerful strength. And with only half of that to go, he would become the most powerful powerhouse in the abyss demon tribe, or even the entire demon species.
That fireball had done about an 8th-tier damage. Which blind scoundrel dared to thwart his plans!?
Alfred ran one loop around the island, but he didn’t see any other demons. It seemed like the other guy escaped as soon as he released the fireball.
“Could it be those guys from the Flaming Demon Tribe?” Alfred mumbled to himself with a frown as he looked toward the west after he returned to the crater. The Flaming Island was only about 160 km away from here. He viciously said, “The Flaming Demons will be the first to go after I absorb all the power!”
