Chapter 1069: Arrival of Igunuz
Ajax was not worried about the grey dwarves because the demon king would not kill the grey dwarves as they were like assets who would continue to produce weapons from their armies.
So, he decided to leave if things were not favorable to him.
Nevertheless, he focused on the acknowledgment bad in front of him.
'It's already been two minutes but still, it only increased by 5 percent.'
Initially, Ajax was worried that the acknowledgment bar would not increase; however, now he was worried about the slow increment of the bar.
'At this rate, the high-level demon king would definitely enter the world before it could increase to 30 percent.'
Ajax muttered to himself and thought, 'I will also go and convince Rurbeak's town.'
Since Rurbeak's town was only a few kilometers away from his current location, Ajax decided to rush towards it.
Previously, he asked his summons to leave that town as he wanted to go there personally.
"Rurbeak, Lurmer, you two, go to the neighboring towns beside your town. I will go to your town and convince them."
Still, there were two more minutes before the high-level demon king could enter the grey dwarf world. So, Ajax hurriedly ordered his two dwarf followers and rushed towards the town he wanted to convince.
'Lightning cloud steps, first effect, activate.'
"Swoosh"
Without any hesitation, Ajax used his fastest speed to reach the nearby town within less than a minute.
"Greetings, protector."
The moment he entered the town, the old town leader and other grey dwarves bowed as they greeted him.
'Huh? They already acknowledged me as their protector?'
Ajax was shocked for a second; however, when he looked back in the direction he came, he understood what must have happened.
'Good.'
Ajax nodded his head as he looked at the acknowledgment bar in front of him.
'Ding,
Acknowledged towns :- 23 / 100 (23 percent).
'What? 20 towns already?'
Even though it was less than half of what he required to become the protector of the grey dwarf world, Ajax was surprised with the huge increment in the acknowledgment.
Before he rushed towards this town, it was only 2 percent, and by the time he reached it was 23 percent. So, within less than one minute, 21 towns acknowledged him as their protector.
'I will just rest here and let them take care of the towns.'
Finally, Ajax decided to rest in the current town because the next town is very far away from him. Moreover, he already doubted that they might have acknowledged him already.
"Go and do your own work."
Ajax didn't want to worry the grey dwarves about the high-level demon king. So, he just asked them to do their own work.
"Yes, protector."
Even though they were confused why their new protector looked a little tense, they didn't ask anything before going back to their work.
'While my summons does the convincing, I will check the additional reward I got from the mission.'
Earlier, along with the 200 units of the Sacred Astral Energy, he got another reward 'World transmission talisman'.
Until now, he was in a hurry to check about it and since he was doing nothing now, he decided to check the usage of the talisman.
'Ding,
Item name:- World transmission talisman.
Effect:- Using it, the user can speak to everyone in the world. Be it spirit beasts or humans or other beings, they will be able to listen to what the user wants to say.
'What the hell?'
Once he saw the use of the World transmission talisman, Ajax got shocked for a moment before cursing himself.
'If I had only checked it when I got the reward, then I would have stayed worry-free.'
Ajax bitterly shook his head as he summoned the 'World transmission talisman'.
Until a few moments back, Ajax was worrying about the arrival of the high-level demon king. So, he didn't waste any time checking the information on the talisman.
However, now, he could just use the 'World transmission talisman' to inform everyone about him becoming the protector.
"Haha...so you are the one who got cursed with the Bronze demon king's 'Demon's prey' curse."
Just as Ajax was about to use the 'World transmission talisman' to inform all the grey dwarves, he heard a burst of loud laughter along with some words.
'Oh no. He is here.'
Without even looking in the direction of the voice, Ajax could say it was the high-level demon king that the system informed him of earlier.
'Damn it...what should I do now?'
Ajax started racking his brains as he once again heard the high-level demon king's voice. "I have a deal for you."
'Huh?'
Ajax frowned when he heard those words; however, he tried to maintain the calm look on his face as he asked, "What is it?"
"You destroyed my bronze demon world and the scourge demon world."
"You killed my five servants along with their armies."
"You tried to snatch my grey dwarf world right under my watch."
"I don't know how you are able to enter from one world to another with such a measly cultivation, but I will let you go on one condition."
Igunuz, one of the five high-level demon kings under the primordial demon king, continued to say so many lines while taking small breaks.
In the high-level demon king's eyes, Ajax was just a level 6 general realm cultivator; however, he has powerful elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts to help him in destroying his worlds.
So, Igunuz kept an eye on his summons before asking Ajax a condition to let him leave this world.
"What is it?"
Ajax already guessed what the high-level demon king needed from him; however, he acted along with the high-level demon king while waiting for the acknowledgment bar to increase.
29 percent.
30 percent.
33 percent.
35 percent.
The progress bar was increasing faster with each passing second. So, Ajax kept a calm look on his face as he asked about the condition.
"Good. I like humans like you who are easy to talk with...Haha."
With a crude chuckle, Igunuz said those words to Ajax.
'Where the hell is he?'
Even though Ajax could hear the high-level demon king's words, he was unable to see him making Ajax a little bit annoyed.
"I want to know the secret of how you are able to travel between the world and at the same time, you have to transfer your spirit contract with the divine dragon to me."
Finally, Igunuz stated his condition as he waited for Ajax's reply.
"Huh? Didn't you say you only have one condition? What you are asking about is counted as two conditions."
Ajax got a rough understanding of Igunuz and his fear towards the demon king gradually decreased.
So, he mocked the high-level demon king while talking about the two conditions.
"Haha...so, you want to talk about logic? Good."
As soon as he heard Ajax's words, Igunuz became angry at Ajax and released his high-level demon king's cultivation pressure.
'Aargh'
Ajax was just a level 6 general realm cultivator. So, how could he endure the cultivation pressure of a high-level demon king?
With a painful groan, Ajax fell to the ground while coughing a mouthful of blood.
