Prime Originator

Chapter 827 - Purple Coatl Dragon Clan

At first, Leon was startled by Duna's whereabouts.

But when he gave it some thought, it somehow made sense to him that she could reach the bottom of the Bone Sea.

An ordinary human body would be crushed by the water pressure down there.

However, Duna's body wasn't like any ordinary human body.

It might share the appearance, but it is a Devil Spirit Body that she constructed with the help of his True Grandmist energy.

Coupled with Duna's soul attacks, it wasn't a problem for her to ward away other creatures and demons.

'How is she doing?' Leon asked.

'She…. She seems to be doing well at the bottom of the Bone Sea. However, she does look a bit frustrated at being unable to find whatever it is that she is looking for down there.'

Tak-si conveyed what it saw to him before asking, 'Should I ask her directly, Master?'

'No, it's fine,' Leon shook his head and said, 'As long as she's doing fine. I'm just checking on her. There's no need to bother her.'

They'll meet soon enough; it wouldn't be too late to ask her then.

'Understood, Master—Ah, the last group of dark faes will be arriving soon, Master. They've just attracted the attention of the previous group of Lesser Demons,' Tak-si suddenly informed him.

Leon's lips couldn't help but twitch.

He just started collecting more wisps of True Grandmist Energy and barely accumulated seventy wisps of it, yet he's about to give it all away again.

'Understood,' he nodded with a sigh.

He has become filthy rich, but no matter how rich he becomes, he will always be lacking something even if he can create more of it; True Grandmist Energy.

"I guess I should stretch my muscles on these demons and adapt to my new strength," Leon said to himself while cracking his stiff neck.

Shortly after, he took a light step forward before launching into the sky.

…

…

…

Meanwhile, the northern dark fae group tried to avoid the west region's demon patrols in the Bone Sea while making their way westward, but they were still spotted in the end.

"Run, everyone! We've been discovered!" a dark fae alerted the group.

"Dammit!" another dark fae cussed before shouting with frustration, "This is why we should have flown higher!"

"Any higher, and we would get lost in the dark clouds!" the dark fae stated.

Nevertheless, they had the great realm spirit to guide them; it would never allow them to get lost before claiming its reward from Leon.

"Less complaining and flee faster instead!" another dark fae shouted objectively.

At the same time, a Low-rank Lesser Demon quickly alerted the demon supervisor, "Lord Helshan, it's another group of dark faes! Should we pursue them?"

The Evil Eye Lesser Demon glanced in the direction pointed by the Low-rank Lesser Demon before it furrowed its brows.

"They're heading west as well? The Dark Fae Clan dare to refuse orders from higher-rank clans… Just what the hell are they plotting?" the Evil Eye Lesser Demon wondered.

Nevertheless, he did not forget to issue orders.

"Quickly capture them and bring them back to me for interrogation! We must get to the bottom of this and figure out what gave them the courage to rebel!" the Evil Eye Lesser Demon barked.

"Don't let them get away! We've already suffered disastrously at the west shores; we mustn't fail again! Is that understood?!"

"Yes, Lord Helshan!" the Lesser Demons obeyed.

In the next instance, the entire army of Lesser Demons on the sea surface mobilized in pursuit of the fleeing dark faes.

Those who could fly, flew quickly, and those who could not, swam even harder.

Suddenly, the sea surface in the area bubbled before numerous demons popped their heads out of the water and gasped for air.

They were all Greater Demons.

"M-my Lords, you're all back!" Lord Helshan exclaimed—not with joy but panic instead.

"Of course, we're back!" A Mid-rank Greater Demon strongly responded with displeasure.

"Hmph! We've been underwater for hours!" another Mid-rank Greater Demon snorted before asking with narrowed eyes, "Did you think we can stay underwater forever? Or did you want us to stay underwater forever?"

Lord Helshan's heart immediately shook from the Greater Demon's pressure and intimidation.

To admit that he hoped all of them stayed underwater forever was no different from cursing all the Greater Demons to die!

Unless he was tired of living, there was no way he could admit to that!

"I… I don't, my Lord!" Lord Helshan denied.

"Hm? Where's all the other Lesser Demons?" another Greater Demon noticed their absence before shortly spotting them some distance away. "Oh? What's going on over there?"

"T-that is…" Lord Helshan stuttered.

When it came to this point, he had no other choice than to explain the whole situation truthfully; it was better than being found out after lying.

"The situation is like…"

The Evil Eye Lesser Demon quickly recounted the events that transpired in the western region during the Greater Demons' absence.

After the Greater Demons heard everything, a Mid-rank Evil Eye Greater Demon snapped at the Evil Eye Lesser Demon.

"How incompetent! You have one job, and you can't even do it right!" the Mid-rank Evil Eye Greater Demon scolded. "How hard can it be to make the Dark Fae Clan listen to you?"

"Nevertheless, it doesn't change the fact that the Dark Fae Clan's behavior is strange. They're foolish, but they shouldn't be this foolish… It seems like someone may have incited them," a Red-Horn Orc Greater Demon stated with a frown.

Shortly after, the Red-Horn Orc Greater Demon turned to a Purple Coatl Dragon and said, "Lord Nidra, we'll have to trouble your clan to catch the dark faes and bring them back for questioning."

"Hmph! Fine!" High Great Demon-level Purple Coatl Dragon reluctantly agreed with a snort.

"All members of my Purple Coatl Dragon Clan, follow me!"

Shortly after, all the Greater Demon-level Purple Coatl Dragons flapped their powerful feathered wings, splashing the waters off their wings as they took off into the skies.

"Oh, no! The Lord Greater Demons have returned!" a dark fae despaired at the discovery.

"Forget about that!" another dark fae quickly shouted in panic, alerting them of something else up ahead, "Someone is coming at us, and fast!"
