Chapter 212 Demons
Following the direction pointed by the demon, Lu Yi successfully saw a building in the south that seemed to be his destination.
The stone walls are towering, with the sun and the moon on each side. This dark behemoth appears particularly majestic against the red sky and earth. There is an unspeakable weirdness in the coldness, which is completely unlike the mortal world. It is a completely different scenery from the Isaiah continent.
If the timing wasn't wrong, Lu Yi would have stopped and taken a closer look.
The stone door was tightly closed, but when Lu Yi approached, it suddenly made a loud noise, and then slowly opened a narrow crack in the stone.
Lu Yi's expression remained unchanged as he moved sideways through the crevice in the stone and entered the building.
He was alert for the possible appearance of aggressive monsters, but all he saw were unconscious low-level monsters.
[Are these low-level monsters hiding here to avoid the red waves outside?] 857 asked.
Lu Yi nodded, "This is just the outermost layer of the building. There are no obstacles at the entrance. It is very likely that it is specially used for these low-level monsters to hide from the red waves. The heaviest demonic energy is still inside."
[These monsters are pretty united.]
Lu Yi did not comment, nor did he harm those unconscious monsters. He just drove them away and concentrated on moving deeper into the cave.
The journey was smooth and extremely smooth.
The closer he got to the depths of the palace, the fewer monsters were roaming around, and the stronger the magic power he sensed.
Until a closed door blocked the way.
Lu Yi stretched out his hand tentatively, but before his fingertips touched the door, the door creaked and slowly opened.
A demon with dead eyes poked his head out and said without any emotion: "Oh, I guess you are our new Holy Son, His Highness Lanter? I'm so happy to see you!"
After saying that, the demon turned sideways, allowing him to enter the door.
"My name is Barzi, you can call me Bar. The demons of the abyss have already known the Lord's intention. Your Highness can command the demons and fallen species in the territory as much as he wants..."
Balz explained in a serious manner while leading Lant through several forks in the road. On the way, he also gave him some general information about the current situation of the abyss and what the human race might need.
"…The Abyss is boundless. Although it is the opposite of the Isaiah continent, in terms of surface area alone, it may be about twice as large as the entire Isaiah continent."
"Are all these places commanded by the Lord God?" Lu Yi asked after hearing this.
Barzi shook his head. "Not really. Strictly speaking, the Abyss is divided into five areas by several powerful demon kings. The Lord God leads the central, northern, and southern territories."
"What about the other two demon kings? They can't be believing in the God of Light, right?" Lu Yi joked.
"You can't expect the demons who drink blood all day long to suddenly decide to starve themselves to death one day!" Balzi sneered.
"As for the other two demon kings, one believes in himself as a god, and the other believes in the god of killing. He is a complete warmonger."
Who to believe in?
God of Killing?
Lu Yi had a subtle expression and repeated, "God of Slaughter?"
"Yes, the God of Slaughter." Barz nodded. "Originally, the entire Abyss only believed in these two gods. But after Ragnarok, the God of Slaughter no longer responded to the Abyss, and many demon kings who originally believed in killing began to believe in darkness."
"Now, in the entire abyss, only the demon kings in the west still believe in the God of Slaughter... Do you humans believe in the God of Slaughter?"
"Almost nothing. This god is not widely known in the Isaiah continent. Perhaps only a few people know of his existence."
"I see... Speaking of the Demon King, Demon King Arthur should have gone to pick you up. Didn't Your Highness Lanter see him?"
Lu Yi pretended to be surprised and said, "Pick me up? Speaking of which, I did run into a high-level demon just now, but he seemed to have bad intentions, so I kicked him into the red waves... Could he be the Demon King Arthur you mentioned?"
Balz's expression suddenly changed, and he seemed to be trying hard to suppress a smile.
"Oh, by the Lord God, if the demon you saw has red hair and red eyes, then it must be the Demon King Arthur!"
The gloating on Balz's face was so obvious that it seemed as if he had no intention of hiding it from Rand.
Lu Yi also tried to suppress his laughter and said in surprise: "Oh my God, may the Lord bless Demon King Arthur, I didn't expect that he would come to pick me up! I really hope nothing happens to him..."
Balzi's smile became more genuine, and he echoed, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Demon King Arthur is one of the best demon kings in the entire abyss. The red wave will only cause him some minor injuries at most!"
"That's good. I feel relieved now."
[“Tsk, why didn’t Hong Lang just cut off one of his arms and legs? That’s too weak.”]
It was already evening when Arthur returned.
There is no difference between day and night in the abyss, and there is no obvious change in the passage of time. Lu Yi can only tell the time by the small wall clock that Balzi brought specially for him.
At eight o'clock, the small wall clock began ticking and the stone wall of the main hall creaked open.
Arthur strode in angrily, and when he looked up he saw Rant occupying the throne that used to be his.
The fire in his chest instantly burned more fiercely, and he said with a stern expression: "Who allowed you to sit there?"
Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at him silently.
Arthur looked much more disheveled now than when they first met. His bright red shoulder-length hair was in disarray, his cheeks were stained with blood, and there were hideous bloodstains on his wrists.
This doesn't seem like the small damage that the Red Wave could cause as described by Balz. It seems more like he had just fought a big battle with someone.
"Of course the Lord God agreed." Lu Yi said calmly, "The Lord God not only agreed to let me sit in your position, but also to issue orders on your behalf. How do you think?"
Arthur laughed out of anger and said "OK" three or four times in a row.
"Sure, you're awesome, you're pretty good. I haven't even bothered with you about what happened this afternoon, but you're already taking advantage of me. I want to see how you can control the other demon kings! I'm waiting for you to beg me!"
After uttering these harsh words, without waiting for Lant's response, Arthur raised his cloak and turned away.
Lu Yi was silent for a moment, then said faintly: [“That’s it? He’s leaving now? Where’s the show of power you promised me?”]
Are all the demons paper tigers that look good but are useless? Lu Yi thought with disappointment that he had prepared a tricky character setting in advance.
[I don’t know. He seems to be ill.]
…
Arthur walked towards his chambers with a blank expression on his face.
The dazzling red hair made the blush on the tips of his ears less obvious. No one except Arthur himself knew that his back was trembling slightly at this moment.
It was that look.
That kind of arrogant look that looked down on him and looked down on him.
Although he is just a tiny human being, he possesses a unique energy that is comparable to that of gods.
It's amazing.
What kind of experiences have created the contradictory yet uniquely attractive temperament of that human race?
For the first time, Arthur became curious about the past of a mere human.
There were still traces of Rant's footprints on his chest.
Out of some unspeakable emotion, Arthur did not wipe off the gray footprint, but allowed this not-so-beautiful footprint to remain on his clothes - even though it was just a blink of an eye for him.
"Lord Arthur is in such a good mood?"
Arthur pursed his lips and said unhappily, "You swallowed up the only sea in the abyss? Why do you mind your own business?"
He couldn't vent his anger on Rant, as Balz was hit by the gun.
Balz didn't care either, his dead fish eyes were calm.
"I am just concerned about my superior, the Demon King. If you don't want it, forget it. I am concerned about Lord Lanter."
"Wait." Arthur stopped him immediately.
"Is there anything else, Lord Arthur?"
Arthur frowned slightly, carefully sensing the demonic energy flowing in the air.
"You're about to break through - have you devoured all those monsters outside?"
"Hmm." Barz admitted straightforwardly.
"Are you crazy? Those monsters have been accumulated throughout the Red Wave period, and you swallowed them all in a short while. Aren't you afraid that other demons will cause trouble for you?!" Arthur said angrily.
Barzi's expression turned cold, and he asked back: "Are these monsters important now? In a few days at most, the entire Orc Forest of Isaiah will be ours. With so many orcs harvesting at will, are you afraid that someone will starve?"
"The Orc Forest is just the beginning. The entire Isaiah continent will belong to us demons."
"I've had enough of these miserable days."
…
[“857, what do these demons do on a daily basis? There doesn’t seem to be much activity in the Abyss, it’s quite boring.”]
Lu Yi had only been in the abyss for half a day, and after the initial novelty wore off, nothing was left.
To put it bluntly, the Abyss is an extremely barren and desolate place.
Although the Abyss is vast, there are very few demons with real intelligence. Most of them only know how to devour irrational low-level monsters.
Although Lu Yi was the commander appointed by Mios, he was airdropped into the abyss after all. He had no power at all. He could not enter any important places and could only wander around a few empty palaces.
[Let's fight.] 857 replied while cracking cyber melon seeds, [If you're bored, why don't you come watch a TV series with me? I recently found a pretty good movie, it's suspenseful, I guarantee you'll like it.]
【"Alright."】
It's so exciting to watch it all by myself.
Just at the critical moment, a familiar suction force came.
Lu Yi gritted his teeth and turned off the small screen. [“This Mios really knows how to choose the time... You are not allowed to look back secretly. Wait until I come back!”]
[Okay!] 857 agreed readily. Lu Yi closed his eyes and turned around to open the screen again.
On the other side of eternal night.
Lu Yi lowered his head and followed the other black-robed apostles in saying, "Good day, my God. May all glory and power belong to you..."
Mios waved his hand impatiently, "Good day, everyone."
Compared to usual, Mios seemed particularly irritable today. He asked right away, "How is the preparation for the magic circle in the Orc Forest going? Can we start now?"
A black-robed apostle in the circle immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "My God, the magic circle of the Orc Forest is ready and can be used at any time."
Mios's expression eased slightly, and he looked up at Lant who was facing him and said, "Lant."
Lu Yi also took a step forward, "My Lord."
"You've heard that everything in the Orc Forest is ready, and the gap to the Abyss will be opened soon. Do you have confidence?"
Lu Yi didn't look up, but even so, he could still feel Mios's particularly hot gaze.
"Eternal Night, I have faith in the Lord God that surpasses everything."
Kill your confidence, Lu Yi thought to himself.
