Chapter 1766: Isn’t It Invincible?
The restaurant was in complete silence. There was a tinge of shock on all the representatives’ faces.
They were shocked by Michael’s words about the devil on the verge of breaking through the seal before they could even get over Rex’s horrific and terrifying description of the Urba Tribe’s tragedy.
The various representatives present were all spokespeople for the Norland Continent’s greatest powers, but an even greater and more powerful existence than them had existed. They were bloodthirsty and cruel. They had existed for eons, powerful and terrifying.
There was a hint of panic in Josh’s expression amidst the shock.
Are you the devil that they are talking about? What exactly are you? Are you guys really going to destroy this world? Josh screamed in his heart. However, that voice didn’t answer, making him even more flustered.
The statue that he got came from the Urba Tribe, and Rex’s earlier description made his hair stand on ends. Although he hadn’t given his soul completely to that fellow, they were all in the same boat now.
Perhaps my perception is wrong? Irina stared at Josh with slightly furrowed brows doubtfully. She seemed to have sensed a hint of evil aura from Josh, but she couldn’t find anything when she probed further.
“Does the devil really exist?” Camilla asked softly.
“What the hell is that?” Dracula frowned.
“It sounded rather formidable.”
“We are vampires. We shouldn’t be scared by them,” Dracula said calmly.
Richard stood up with a grave expression, and asked, “Lord Michael, you said you’ve found the sealed devil, so where is the devil now? Can you bring us there to take a look?”
As he was one of the Roth Empire delegation’s representatives, Richard’s job was to advise Josh.
Josh had already laid the Roth Empire’s cards on the table, and was about to negotiate the most beneficial terms for the empire when Michael suddenly talked about the devil.
“Yes. A mere verbal statement is no guarantee. There aren’t any records about the devil’s existence in us elves’ history books, either,” Elliot chimed in with doubt too.
All the representatives slowly calmed down, and looked at Michael with doubt. For so many years, all the races had never heard about the devil’s existence. Why did it suddenly appear now?
“Krassu and Urien were the first to discover the sealed devil. It was discovered because the seal was damaged, and the evil aura seeped out from it,” Michael explained. “They are still guarding the seal right now. They’re trying to repair the seal and reseal the devil. However, the situation isn’t optimistic. The seal’s spell formation is too ancient, and analyzing it is a big problem.”
“Louis and I went to the place where the seal is a few days ago. That fellow’s power is way beyond our imagination. It will definitely be a terrifying catastrophe for the Norland Continent if it escapes from the seal,” Douglas said in a low voice with a grave expression.
“Although this is humiliating, I still have to let you all know how powerful it is. I would have been killed by that fellow if it hadn’t been for the seal’s restraint and the combined effort of Krassu, Urien, Douglas, and Novan,” Louis said with a solemn expression too.
Everyone exclaimed, and began to feel a tinge of fear again.
Louis was an extremely formidable existence, and his power was among the Norland Continent’s top five. Yet, he was almost killed by the devil in the seal, and only barely escaped with the help of four extremely powerful 10th-tier powerhouses.
One could only imagine what kind of terrifying power that devil had.
Richard paled slightly too.
His power couldn’t even compare to that of Krassu, let alone that of Louis.
If the devil was really as powerful as described by Louis and the others, it would be a terrifying threat to the Roth Empire. It wasn’t advantageous to His Majesty’s plan of conquering the world.
“With Krassu and the others’ help, I had cut off one of its tentacles. However, this wasn’t even considered a scratch to it. In the blink of an eye, it grew a new tentacle again.” Mag tossed out a section of the frozen tentacle.
All of them stared at that tentacle which was covered with life-like blood-red eyeballs. Just looking at it gave them a sense of fear.
What made all of them even more concerned was that even Alex—who had the strongest melee capability on the Norland Continent—could only cut off one tentacle of that devil with Krassu and the others’ assistance. Furthermore, that scary regenerative power could eradicate that harm immediately.
It made them feel a chill from the bottom of their heart.
“Then… isn’t it invincible?” Connie gulped and moved closer to Rex.
“It’s very difficult to deal with.” Rex nodded with a solemn expression.
Invincible? Josh looked at Alex. A glint of red light flashed across his eyes suddenly, and he clenched his fists subconsciously.
Alex, who was almost invincible in his eyes, actually had an opponent whom he couldn’t handle at all, and yet Josh had a chance to receive assistance from that existence.
“You’ll gain an immensely powerful friend once it escapes from the seal.” A familiar voice appeared in his mind again, and it was very bewitching.
Josh’s lips began to curl up, and his hands at his side started to quiver.
This chap is indeed tainted with the evil aura. Perhaps he has already given his soul to the devil? Irina narrowed her eyes. She accurately sensed the evil aura emanating from Josh in that instant.
This meant that he had most probably given his soul to the devil, or at least had contact with the devil.
His situation was rather different, so compared to Borg, Alfred, or Ferdinand, who was lying on the ground now, the evil aura on Josh was very faint, and he didn’t display the madness after being possessed by the devil. He looked too normal, and therefore she wasn’t able to ascertain his situation immediately.
However, what was certain was, he definitely had come in contact with the devil. That was why he was tainted by the evil aura.
The acknowledgement of the two big shots from the dragon race and Alex was equivalent to cementing the factuality of this matter.
Given their identities and status, they wouldn’t deceive all the races together. Moreover, Krassu and the others were involved, and no power could make them say the same thing.
Richard looked at Michael. “Lord Michael, since you all know where the seal is, could you bring us there to have a look? If it truly is as you described, this matter concerns the survival of all the races on the Norland Continent, we should do our part too.”
Words alone were no proof. This matter could influence the king’s judgement, so he had to see that so-called devil with his own eyes before he could report this to the king.
All the other representatives agreed with him. Even though there was the endorsement from Alex and the rest, all this devil’s talk was beyond their cognition. They got to see it with their own eyes before they could believe it.
Michael nodded. “This matter cannot be resolved by Chaos City and the dragon tribe alone. This is also why we invited all races’ representatives here urgently. We have set up a teleportation portal to the place where the seal is in the middle of Aden Square. Would all the representatives please follow me.”
“Since this matter concerns all the races on the Norland Continent, then we, Lantisdeans, should do our part too.”
Right at this moment, a voice appeared outside of the restaurant. The restaurant’s door opened outwards, and 10 merfolk powerhouses wearing the same silver armor stood at the door.
