Chapter 215 - Noah's Schemes!
Chapter 215 - Noah's Schemes!
-----
Noah quickly gathered with everyone else after all three of the Hidden Bosses were defeated.
Everyone seemed particularly tired for a bit, so Noah told them to rest while drinking a lot of stockpiled blood everyone had, while he commanded the Blood Servants to gather all the loot dropped through the large battle.
There were still some monsters roaming around but they were being promptly taking care of, as Noah continued to raise more Blood Servants. Now that he didn't even need the monsters to have proper blood, he could raise Blood Servants from literally anything as long as he dropped his won blood into their souls.
And like this, the Blood Soul Servants of the Bee-Fly King, the Golem King, and the Rose Vine King emerged.
Ding!
[You have raised the following Blood Soul Servants]
[Blood Soul Servant Crimson Crystal Earth Spirit: Elite General] [Golem King]
[Blood Soul Servant Giant Bloody Rose Vine Beast: Elite General] [Rose Vine King]
[Blood Soul Servant Crimson Nether Bug: Elite General] [Bee-Fly King]
Noah smiled as he saw their enormous bodies materialize through crystalized blood, their presences and domineering auras were immense, it was to be expected of Elite General Blood Soul Servants, although Scarlet (not present) and Pride were stronger, being Grand Elite General and Great Elite General, respectively.
After fully undergoing the transition into Blood Soul Servants, their doubt or loyalty to their previous master was completely gone, and now they saw Noah as their master and the one they needed to serve the most.
Meanwhile, piles after piles of Attribute Value Cores, Ability Cores, and Dropped Items were being accumulated at the side and quickly stored inside of Noah's Flesh and Blood Realm, as there were so many that not even the Dimensional Storage Rings could store it all.
Amongst the dropped items there were some interesting things, such as Mana and Health Potions, which were of A-Grade and held great value, selling at high prices in the market, there were also the very rare Elixirs, which could heal both and also negative status effects, and lastly, there were Panaceas, which healed any status effect and gave anyone that drank them a one-hour buff that increased their resistance to negative status effects.
As Noah glanced at the items, the group slowly marched towards the castle, which was surrounded by an invisible barrier a few minutes ago, but now it had mysteriously disappeared.
"My lord, Beelzebub, our previous master, is a deadly demon!" said the Golem King.
"That's right, it possesses a powerful soul, which he can materialize as a specter to aid him in battle!" said the Rose Vine King.
"Alongside that, Beelzebub has absorbed two other Demon Bloodlines, and he is capable of manipulating his own blood as weapons while being able to control shadows!" said the Bee-Fly King.
"Eeh? Specters? Shadows? Blood? Isn't he copying my husband though?" asked Iris.
"Indeed… he kinds of has similar powers to Noah-sama," said Arthur.
"That's quite something… Wait, isn't that dangerous? If he's as powerful… as our lord… No, that can't possibly be. Our lord is unique," said Timassa.
"A mere faker will not win over me. Although it might become tricky to fight someone that uses similar abilities to me, we are clearly different at the end…" said Noah.
"Please, don't underestimate Beelzebub, our dear master…" said the Golem King.
"Be well prepared," said the Bee-Fly King.
"Of course, I like to always be very well prepared, and… I have a nice idea in how to use you three for that purpose…" said Noah while smirking maliciously, the three Blood Soul Servants that originally served Beelzebub glanced at each other, wondering what malicious plan their new master had in mind.
…
Meanwhile, within the largest hall inside the castle, a handsome demon sat down over a throne, seemingly frustrated, tired, and bored.
However, his eyes seemed to be flashing with a strong bloodthirst, and anger.
His sharp fangs were gritting tightly, and his hands grasping the throne until it began to crack.
He had felt it, through the connection he made with them, as a tamer, he had felt their lives… disappearing.
The Accursed Tree King, the Rose Vine King, the Bee-Fly King, and the Golem King, all four of them had died.
If it were not because he was a man that prioritized rage and revenge over sorrow, he would be crying right now… but he only felt bitter anger like never before.
It all happened way too quickly.
After triumphing over the Army of the Blood Demons, Beelzebub had decided to settle down for some years and improve his Body and Soul Cultivation, slowly reaching the power to become an Archdemon.
However, out of nowhere, a wave of miasma hit his world and brought forth strange disturbances in space and time. Gates began to emerge everywhere, monsters from other worlds emerged, and there were also special places where anomalies in space and time entrapped certain monsters or even other demons into what was called "dungeons".
Form such dungeons, gates would open, but instead of other monsters, humans would emerge, which called themselves Hunters.
Beelzebub had heard of such things but had begun to employ the monsters that emerged from gates to his advantage, gathering the resources they dropped… However, without any previous warning, he was suddenly entrapped in such a space, a dungeon.
He was suddenly forced to remain within his castle, he was bound into this place and so were his armies of monsters, and even his generals…
And now, his turn had come, and invaders from another world had come to slaughter him.
He couldn't help but feel like fate was playing against him, that after reaching so far he would end up dying miserably like a monster...
But no…
He was not going to die.
He was going to use everything he had to defeat them.
He was going to avenge his soldiers, his generals, and to regain his pride as a Demon!
Perhaps if he were to triumph, he would be finally given the chance to escape this accursed prison, or even storm the world of such invaders…
Yes, he was not going to stop, if they slaughtered his people and allies, he would do the same, he would not easily settle down by killing them, slaughtering their entire race didn't sound too bad… perhaps even taking over the entirety of that world didn't sound that bad either!
If he was going to be forced to go to another world, he was going to make it worthwhile!
Suddenly, the doors to his hall began to open slowly, as Beelzebub suddenly was given the freedom to walk again out of his throne.
He squinted his eyes as he quickly began to unleash his Aura, his entire body being covered on his Spectral Soul, as if a wailing and monstrous ghost covered his body and protected it, giving him a boost to all of his capabilities.
Additionally, shadows began to emerge from below his feet, beginning to move like tentacles.
The Demon's crimson eyes glanced at the doors open, as he felt three strong presences entering…
However, these visitor's appearances surprised him…
The Golem King, the Rose Vine King, and the Bee-Fly King, although they were now completely red, they were still completely recognizable as his generals…
"W-What? What is the meaning of this? Didn't you… die?!"
