Chapter 1443: The Appearance of the Heavenly Demon (Part 3)
...…
After greeting each other, Old Ryong turned in the direction where he sensed the newly born demon was located.
"The one who was awakened just now must be that kid, right?" he asked, changing the topic.
Adam turned toward the direction where the Demon Pillar appeared and slowly nodded his head. "As much as I want to help him, I can do it given our current circumstances."
"But his mother is already in her way, so things will be fine," he added, turning his attention to the Ace City. "It seems like those guys have saved their people this time, which is quite rare."
"It is such a pity that we only got that coward cosplayer," he added as he found that the rest of the experts that were leading this operation for the Black Serpent Mafia aside from Coffin Maker, who did not dare to leave the World Research Center.
After ensuring everything was under control, he turned back to Old Ryong and returned to their original topic. "I heard from David that Elder Ryong has been teaching Shin the way how to wield his sword properly."
Old Ryong smiled and chuckled. "It is nothing. Teaching that kid is quite interesting honestly."
He paused for a moment as he recalled something before continuing. "When I first time saw that kid, I was quite surprised. It is the second time someone has unconsciously provoked my 'Demon Realm', so I am caught a little off guard."
"Moreover, he even breaks free from it without my help," added as he while chuckling. "Then I later learned his background from those old monsters. No wonder that 'Seed' within him possessed such intense rage and hatred."
As they were having a conversation, Adam suddenly turned toward a certain direction before smiling. "It seems like I have successfully lured those people away from the kid." Stay updated via mvl
He then smiled at the old man and chuckled. "I will be going now, Elder Ryong, before another 'war' breaks out."
"Please, look after my family when I am gone," he added as he looked in the direction where Shin and Evangeline were.
"Hoh~! You are leaving your beloved wife? That is rare," commented Old Ryong with a chuckle.
Adam shrugged his shoulders before looking at the wound on the old man's chest. "It seems like you suffered quite a blow against that 'stalker'."
He then extended his hand and released a suction force from it, absorbing the residual energies of Jan Mateo from that wound. He then burned it with his Demonic Flame, completely dissolving it.
The moment when all the residual Demonic Powers of Jan Mateo were removed, Old Ryong was able to heal the wound in an instant.
"That guy has failed to consume an Ancient Demon, but he has gained some powers from the experience. It has given him an ability to somewhat reach the level of the 'Worldly Origin' with the combination of his Demonic Powers and Mental Energy."
"But at the same time, it has caused him to become somewhat addicted to consuming other Demonic Practitioners to gain more power, which also somewhat makes him crazy."
"I guess Snake Head and his gang are taking advantage of that opportunity to lure him to their side," he said before a tear in space appeared behind him, and stepped into it.
Swoosh!
Right after the spatial tear closed, multiple figures arrived and landed on the ground and destroyed the surroundings.
Each of them was emitting a powerful aura, which was not much weaker than Nathan and his friends. Two of them were even as strong as Samuel and the other old monsters of the Councils of Elders.
An old man wearing a general's suit and cap that was meant for the leaders of the World Government's forces glared at the spot where Adam disappeared before clicking his tongue. "He runs away."
Hearing that, Old Ryong shook his head and commented. "He runs away.? More like sparing your lives."
That man in general suit glanced at Old Ryong and frowned. "What is an old demon like you doing in this place? Are you supposed to be staying in that mountain of yours?"
Old Ryong shrugged his shoulders and turned around, leaving the group behind. No matter how hard he tried, he did not like being in the same place as these people from the World Government.
Watching him leave, one of the younger members of the group turned to the general and asked. "Are we just going to let him leave, Sir?"
The General glanced at that person and smirked, ignoring him. He then walked toward the Ace City while waving at his lieutenant. "You guys can leave now. Just leave two to the location where we have sensed the Demon Pillar appeared."
"Though, I doubt that you will find anything there given that person's personality," he added as he walked further.
The lieutenant turned to the group and said. "You have heard the general, you can go back now. Bin and Talos, you two are coming with me."
The person who had talked to the general earlier suddenly asked. "Is that it? Are we leaving like this? We don't even fight anyone."
"And are we going to let that old demon insult us?" he added with a frown.
The lieutenant looked at him and said. "Do you know why all of us have been summoned here? It is because our earlier target is not someone you can deal with ordinary experts. Even the general himself is not confident taking him on by himself."
"And don't get deluded that we are here to capture that 'criminal'. We are supposed to delay him until the 'inspectors' arrive."
Hearing that, the entire group was shocked and looked at each other. The earlier guy did not believe it. "All of us just to buy time? Stop joking lieutenant. There is no way that someone can survive against this kind of group unless they are a Transcendent Realm Martial Artist, an Exalted Realm Mentalist, or a Sword Saint Paragon."
He paused counted their numbers and said. "We have ten Domain Realm Experts here, and all of us are not much weaker than the Dragon King, Sword Immortal, or the Warrior Sage."
Hearing that, the lieutenant laughed and said. "You are saying that you that there is no one who can survive against us? I can give you at least five people who can do that."
"As for the person that we are supposed to delay here, he exceeds any of those five. The general and I can survive if we happen to encounter him here, but at least half of you will suffer serious injuries while the rest will either be hanging on their last breath or die in the process."
"That how scary the Heavenly Demon is. He is the apex of Martial Arts right beneath the Transcendent Realm."
"You have not experienced the terror that he can do. Even the Supreme Commander back in the main headquarters must be wary of that person, yet you are saying that the Demon Asura is looking down on us when he said those words?"
"The might of the legendary Godly Intuition that he possessed along with his battle prowess is not something that you will ever imagine," he added while recalling the incident that happened years ago in the main headquarters.
He then shivered when he remembered how scary the enraged Heavenly Demon was.
"And that was years ago. We have no idea what level he has achieved now given his astonishing progress."
"That old demon is not exaggerating when he said those words," he paused as he turned at Old Ryong before continuing. "If you don't believe me, then you can try fighting that old man. I will assure you that you never know how you died."
"Yet even that old man is not even close to reaching the level of the Heavenly Demon," he added as he left, heading in the direction that their general had indicated.
Seeing their lieutenant left, the two that had been called out quickly followed and left their colleagues, who were still stunned at what they had heard.
…
At the center of the Ace City, Nathan and Elias were currently discussing something when Old Ryong suddenly appeared.
"You two can stop now and leave the rest to the World Government. Their people have already arrived," said the old man as he approached the two.
Hearing that, Nathan frowned slightly as he knew the real reason why these people were here. Elias was also showing his dissatisfaction. After all, these people were not around when the city was being destroyed by the people from the Black Serpent Mafia, yet here they were 'taking over' everything.
They just want to show that they 'cared' for the people and be seen in a different light.
"Stealing the glory of others while advocating that they were the ones that chase those 'villains' away – so typical of them," commented another person, who appeared near them.
"Have you marked them, Emily?" asked Nathan as he remembered that his woman was tasked to investigate the cases regarding the assaults on the students of the Magic Ace Academy.
Now that the real culprits were finally revealed, her job must be done.
He also suspected that she must have used her special technique to mark their people during the chaos earlier.
Emily grimaced when she heard that before saying. "Unfortunately, I failed as someone instantly erased them right after I have put the marks."
She was grumbling about the 'failure' of her task when she recalled why she was here. She looked at Nathan with a serious expression before saying. "Forget about me. I have news for you Nathan, and I am afraid that it is dreadful one."
