“Right, I still have to find the Hero. I’ll talk to you later.”
Leaving these words, she transformed into a rainbow light and soared into the sky, flying in a certain direction.
“Wait…” Danas reacted, wanting to stop her, but she had already disappeared over the horizon.
He opened his mouth, then chuckled wryly.
“That Hero will be in the Moon Demon Territory, and you’re flying in the opposite direction, my lady.”
Just then, the girl’s voice finally echoed.
“Is that the form of the Goddess of Time when merged into one?” she asked with a chuckle, “What a childish little girl.”
“She was only born two thousand years ago. From the God Race’s perspective, she’s still a child,” Danas said nonchalantly, “However, the information she brought is quite interesting.”
“More Demon Lords… huh?” The girl also pondered these words, “I wonder what caused that?”
“What else could it be?” Danas said without hesitation, “Based on the current situation, there are only two possibilities.”
“Either our plan succeeded.”
“Or my father’s plan succeeded.”
“There’s no third possibility.”
The girl agreed with Danas’s statement.
Although they didn’t know which possibility it was, at least, there was hope.
The two, thinking this, didn’t know that at this moment, the Goddess of Time, flying through the sky of the Demon Realm, was still muttering,
“Why did that Hero create so many Demon Lords?”
“Honestly…”
Meanwhile, in a corner of the scorched earth that was once the forest at the border of the Moon Demon Territory, the still-smoldering earth suddenly shifted.
A piece of metal emerged from the charred soil, gradually growing limbs until it formed a complete human figure, the metallic sheen fading away.
“Cough…” Gorud collapsed onto the scorched earth, coughing and looking around, his face filled with lingering fear.
“Good thing I burrowed into the ground.” If he hadn’t transformed into metal and burrowed underground, he would have been incinerated like those envoys, becoming part of this scorched earth.
“That damned Succubus, wasn’t she cursed?”
Despite his fear, Gorud couldn’t help but curse. Recalling the beautiful figure he saw, her breathtaking beauty, although his heart stirred, he also felt a surge of hatred.
“As expected, those Demon Lords are all a menace.”
He let hatred consume him. Knowing the Succubus’s ability, he didn’t want to be captivated by her, using hatred to suppress his feelings.
Even though he was once one of her admirers.
“Anyway, the Succubus has recovered. The leader must have ordered everyone to retreat, right?” Gorud thought calmly.
“In that case, I should also leave this place.”
With this thought, he stood up shakily.
He didn’t notice that two figures had appeared behind him.
“Bang!” In the next second, one of the figures behind him kicked Gorud hard in the back.
“Ugh…!” Caught off guard, Gorud fell to the ground, landing hard on the scorched earth.
He quickly reacted, his magic power surging.
Unfortunately…
“[Bestowal: Imprisonment].”
With a fluctuation of magic power, Gorud’s surging magic power was suppressed, as if locked within his body.
“Wha…!?”
Gorud was shocked, and before he could react, the foot struck him again.
“Bang!” With a thud, Gorud was kicked in the abdomen, his body flipping over.
Pain surged through him, turning his groan into a scream.
Then, the foot that caused his misery stepped on his face, the sole of a shoe entering his vision.
This humiliation enraged Gorud, a top-tier Legendary expert, filling him with fury and killing intent.
Just then, a mocking voice reached his ears.
“So you survived that, I wonder if you should consider yourself lucky or unlucky.”
Through the sole of the shoe on his face, Gorud saw his attacker: a young human man, looking down at him with a playful smirk, and a breathtakingly beautiful witch, observing him thoughtfully.
Who else could it be but Shien and Shafney?
“You…!?” Gorud’s expression changed drastically.
Shien and Shafney, looking at this rugged demon man, smirked.
“Who would have thought, it’s you, the traitor,” Shafney said, recognizing Gorud, a bored look appearing on her beautiful face. This look, however, provoked Gorud.
