The Story Never Ends - Chapter 243

In the devil world due to the absence of the sun and the moon, there was no such thing as day or night, resulting in the absence of time. But they still used numbers to roughly calculate distance and duration.

Therefore, twelve hours later, hordes of devils had assembled in an open field near the swamps. They were all lined up in rows, standing in a proper formation.

The Devil Commanders wielding sharp weapons and wearing broken armors were at the back. While the cannon fodders such as devil minions and common devils were at the front.

Neither they had weapons nor armors, but they looked to be in a good state when compared to the devil commanders who appeared gloomy and nervous. This was because they lacked intelligence and had only one thought in their minds.

It was to kill as many enemies as they could and devour them as fast as possible, improving their strength swiftly. Whereas the Devil Commanders had quite a knowledge about the Colossal Devil City and were extremely frightened as a result.

Not only was the infamous Devil Emperor Joziah ruling over the city, but its population and resources were also twice as large as theirs. This resulted in the Colossal City producing more devil commanders and even devil kings.

Despite knowing all that, they couldn’t run away and protest against this war as their kings were keeping an eye upon them. They knew that they would definitely lose their life at once if they tried anything cheeky.

Thus, they were forced to wage a war where their chances of winning were bleak. Although they heard that they had a powerful Devil Emperor backing them, they weren’t confident.

Nonetheless, they couldn’t do anything and had to simply await their fates powerlessly. Regardless, they were also excited about meeting their Lord who was about to appear. The devil kings who were floating in the air too had these thoughts.

Abruptly, they opened their eyes and turned ahead as a black dot approached them rapidly. When it neared them, its size grew larger and they could finally notice what it was.

It was a flying chariot made of twinkling gold material that they had never seen in their lives. It was as large as them in their devil forms and had many runes imprinted on them, proving that it was a top-notch artifact.

Moreover, it was pulled by three devilish tigers having wings that were radiating unstable aura fluctuations in the Devil King stage. This shocked them dearly.

How can there be other devil kings than them in this wasteland? But catching the sight of a young man meditating there with his eyes closed, drove away their confusions.

“The Lord must have helped them.” They turned towards each other and nodded.

“Anyways, why isn’t Bjorn here?”

“Won’t it be difficult for us to win without him?”

“Maybe the Lord has made some special arrangements.”

“I see. That’s why the Lord must have asked him to stay yesterday.”

They discussed with each other as they realized the cause.

“Anyways, who is that woman on his side?”

They were surprised to see a veiled woman sitting near his side.

“What qualification does she have to sit near him?” Averi was displeased. How can someone take away the spot she was eyeing? Did she seduce him? Or was she his secret lover and the reason why he didn’t bat an eyelid upon her?

Nevertheless, her expression became ugly and filled with reverence in an instant as a powerful divine sense swept past them, making them tremble in fear. And the one who released it, they were sure that it was this woman.

It’s because they never had this feeling of getting stripped and having their secrets completely seen though in front of their Lord. However, they would have never imagined that Davion had already scanned them thoroughly from inside out with his Mind-Eye without them knowing a single thing.

It was all due to his Mind-Eye being totally different, mysterious, and unnoticeable from Divine Sense. In this way, they were misled, but they managed to catch the culprit.

Yes, it was indeed Siena. As someone who never left her island, she had never seen the devils. So, she was observing every single one of them properly and collecting information about the Devil World.

“With how you are behaving all long, you really look like a little girl who ran away from home and has yet to see the outside world.” Davion opened his eyes and spoke with a hint of helplessness.

Remembering how crazy she went yesterday for just a small matter he couldn’t help but voice out his inner thoughts. After exchanging more than a hundred blows, he finally managed to calm her down.

But the aftermath was quite horrifying as his small world had become a mess. Deep pits, cracks, and fissures could be seen everywhere. The vegetation had lost its vitality due to dark energy. And if not for formation protecting the castle, it would have fallen as well.

“Humph! I will certainly have my revenge when I finish refining the feathers of the blazing pelican.” She harrumphed coldly. It looked like she still hadn’t gotten over that incident.

“Hehe, I will be waiting. But do you think you can close out the gap between us after just reaching the middle stage of Domain Realm?” He chuckled, making her furious.

“Haiz, how can you be that strong? Even with going all out, I couldn’t touch a single strand of your hair.” She sighed in disappointment as she accepted her weakness.

Recalling him not using any other elements except for his dark energy to hold his ground with her, she had no other choice than to give up the thought of revenge.

“This is the difference between a real genius and a so-called genius.” He spoke arrogantly, causing her to become speechless.

“Forget it. It’s useless to talk with you.” She shook her head in annoyance and stopped bickering.

“Did you consider my proposal?” He asked mockingly.

“Go to hell.” She punched straight towards his face, and he caught it easily.

“You are such a bully.” She withdrew her hand and even her Divine Sense.

“Haha! So, what do you think of the Devil World?” He finally got serious.

“Don’t bother asking me. I’m just here to fulfill my curiosity.” She refused to answer.

Davion smiled in response and stopped teasing her. He knew that she couldn’t do much outside even if she wanted as all her abilities were suppressed in the Devil World due to the absence of elementary flame particles.

Hence, she was totally useless here and clearly aware of it. But she just didn’t want to say it out loud due to her pride.

Meanwhile, the devil kings were panicking in the air. Who could have thought the woman next to him was at least a Devil Emperor? It was too terrifying. Now only did they understand what gave their Lord the confidence to strike so hastily.

Also, Averi realized that the Lord was way above her league. She wasn’t even qualified to touch his shoes.

“We greet the Lord.”

Calming their emotions, they rushed there and bowed, showing their respects as loudly as they could. Hearing their kings, the devils eventually realized that their lord had arrived.

So, they too addressed him by kneeling on top of that. “We greet the Lord.”

The surroundings shook, the trees whistled and the birds flew in fear as their voice reverberated.

Davion stood up and looked at his subordinates, releasing a trace of his majestic aura.

“This..” Everyone was in awe of its emergence as this was the aura of someone who was born to rule. A true emperor.

“Maybe he wasn’t joking when he said that he would rule over the heavens.” Their gaze changed from respect to worship and excitement.

“My children follow me to conquer the world.” His every word sounded like thunder in their eardrums and their devil essence flowed wildly, causing their aura to become stronger in the blink of an eye.

Their eyes turned deep red and confidence burst from them, forgetting their worries and fears from earlier on.

“We March.” The moment he declared, the herds of devils proceeded in the direction of Colossal City with heavy footsteps, causing the ground to quake and the dust to fly off, creating a dangerous momentum.

While on the air, the devil kings were at the front surrounding the chariot from all sides, keeping a certain distance so that they wouldn’t interfere with his privacy. Then they soared slowly while keeping pace with the devils on foot.

This made him nod his head in satisfaction. Next, he returned to his seat and caught his breath.

“Phew, it was tiring. Acting as a devil doesn’t suit me.” He muttered.

“My God! Are you even human?” Siena, who didn’t want to talk with him before, couldn’t control her emotions and asked in disbelief.. Right now, his acting gave her the impression that he was a real devil that descended from hell.
