Chapter 115: Zakaithus’ Might
“Ah…”
Fike started hesitantly.
“So, what if I was? Or what if I wasn’t?”
Zakaithus laughed presumptuously.
“If this child isn’t someone sent by Cado, I may yet spare your life.”
Suddenly, Zakaithus’ expression became serious.
“But if you really were sent by Cado, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave this place so easily today.”
After hearing this, Fike was slightly less nervous.
He said casually.
“Then you’ve misunderstood. I was just happening to pass by. I’m definitely not someone sent by Cado like you mentioned.”
Zakaithus was unimpressed.
“Words hold no proof. Now, let me see how this child can prove his innocence!”
Out of nowhere, a powerful pressure descended upon the entire room.
Fike felt as if his brain was about to explode, while Saru, who had been next to Zakaithus, fainted immediately.
‘Why… can his pressure… produce such power? Could it be a skill that has surpassed even the scope of gods?’
At this moment, the hidden message appeared.
[Hidden Information: your Divine Body can only block physical attacks to your body. Zakaithus’s pressure is a spiritual attack. At your current level, you will not be able to completely resist the pressure.]
Seeing this, he could only endure the heavy migraine.
Seeing that Fike was still standing, Zakaithus smiled before releasing his pressure.
“Young one, you are powerful indeed! I am willing to give you a chance. Regardless of whether you were sent by Cado or not, if you will swear loyalty to me, I will let you go. How about it?”
Fike found the thought of it funny.
‘The Heavenly King’s Palace has already sent me three invitations in total. Are they really that short on manpower?’
Fike replied with a smile.
“Thank you for your good intentions, senior. However, I still have important matters to attend to, so it’ll be inconvenient for me to join the Heavenly King’s Palace. Goodbye!”
With that, he planned to turn around and leave.
However, Zakaithus responded immediately.
“Hey, young one, my room isn’t a place where you can come and go as you please!”
As he spoke, a dart flew toward Fike at such a speed that ordinary people would’ve found it completely impossible to react in time.
However, who would consider Fike to be an ordinary person? He dodged the attack in the nick of time.
Seeing the youth’s skills, Zakaithus’ interest in Fike only grew.
“If that’s the case, then you’ll have to stay here forever!”
He declared as he suddenly stood up from the sofa.
With a raise of his hand, countless darts shot at blinding speed toward Fike as the heavy pressure weighed down once again.
With his senses thrown off the rails, Fike had lost his speed. He had no choice but to take the attack of the darts.
However, they only scratched his cloak without hurting his physique at all. There wasn’t even a drop of blood on his skin.
“Haha!” Zakaithus could not help but laugh as he looked at Fike, who seemed to be so strong.
“Young one, you have impressive skills. Your appearance reminds me of that of a friend that I haven’t seen for a long time!”
Fike forced himself to speak in a calm manner as he resisted pressure ringing in his ears.
“Who?”
Zakaithus’s expression suddenly fell as he said sinisterly.
“Mike!
“The kid who ruined my plans and forced me under the control of that Cado!”
Fike smiled as he replied.
“Oh! Isn’t that good? Having more setbacks on the road to success… Wouldn’t that just make your life more colorful?”
Zakaithus’ voice grew a little angrier as he looked at Fike’s cheeky smile.
“You’re so stubborn even when you’re about to die. I’m afraid your death today will be ugly!”
As he was speaking, a black ripple that seemed to appear from the void emerged in the room.
He extended his hand into the void before taking out a pure black tachi.
[Hidden Information: Evil Blade – Hercules’ Fury, Demon King-tier. Forged from exotic materials. It has the effect of vampirism and feeds itself on human blood. Be careful to avoid being stabbed by this evil blade, or you will be sucked dry of your blood. It is a super weapon already stained with the blood of countless men.]
Recognizing the danger from the hidden message, Fike quickly took out his own demonic sword to parry.
As the Hermes’ Curse was unsheathed, its demonic eye, which had been asleep for a long time, opened wide immediately.
The clash between the two alien weapons seemed to excite both evil and demonic blades.
As he noticed the sword in Fike’s hand, Zakaithus abruptly stopped attacking.
He opened his mouth to ask.
“Are you from Evil God’s Headquarters?”
Seeing that Zakaithus had suddenly taken a respectful tone, Fike paused to respond.
“Why do you say that?”
Zakaithus was stunned at first before continuing.
“I guessed from the weapon in your hand that you were from the Evil God’s Headquarters. May I ask why you’re here in the middle of the night? Please enlighten me.”
Noticing that Zakaithus had completely changed his approach, Fike responded in turn.
“Of course, I’m here to see how far you have progressed!”
Hearing his words, Zakaithus immediately knelt down before apologizing.
“I didn’t know that you were from the Evil God’s Headquarters. I was incredibly rude. Please don’t take it to heart, sir.”
Realizing that this identity of someone from this strange organisation was going to be useful, Fike kept the act as he walked over to the sofa and sat down slowly.
“Tell me, how far have you progressed?”
Zakaithus tracked Fike’s direction as he replied in a low voice.
“To answer Your Excellency, we have already spread out all the spies throughout the entire Imperial Capital of Rowei. We estimate that it will fall within the week.
“If the Evil God’s Headquarters sends out a few Exotic Beasts to assist in the offensive, we will take down the capital within a few days.
“After taking down the Imperial Capital, I plan to adjust to the situation for a few days before launching an offensive on the other cities on horseback. At that time, the entire Lieluo Empire will be in my hands!”
Zakaithus raised his head to look at Fike with a smile.
“When our plan succeeds, I will definitely not forget to return the favor to the Evil God’s Headquarters for nurturing us!
“I hope that Sir will put in a few good words for me before Prince Kampus when you return.”
Fike was completely perplexed at the moment.
He didn’t know anything about this ‘Evil God’s Headquarters’. He had never even heard any mention of the organisation before.
Anyhow, this Kampus seemed to be the boss.
Fike could only continue to listen to what Zakaithus had to say.
“As long as you do a good job, I will definitely put in a word for you to His Highness when I return.”
As his gaze drifted to the evil blade in the man’s hands, a bold idea suddenly came to mind.
