Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 522 - 290: Is this the King of Fury?

Looking at the spirits that emerged, they seemed not to have reacted immediately after their reappearance.

It wasn’t until that Legendary Mage shook his Magic Staff that clarity returned to their eyes.

The communication between the two sides ended swiftly. The majority of the fallen Tunisian Knights, except for a few, chose to stand up and to silently witness the end of this battle.

Louis satisfied their demands, watching as one Shadow Walker after another crawled up on the wasteland, the Tunis Knight Commander asked:

"Did you give them any names?"

In a daze, Louis remembered an extremely annoying individual.

The shadow of Rudelson, that being known as the Mad King. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

After a slight pause, he said, "This power does not come from me, but from a bastard who gave it to me without any consideration for me."

"Oh? Who would be willing to give you such power that could alter the continent’s situation?"

Looking at the soldiers standing up one by one, Louis suddenly realized:

"It was a bastard not far from death, who called these guys the Curse Binding Legion."

[Location: Giant Demon Tribe · Chieftain’s Tent]

The Grand Chief lowered his head and said in a deep voice:

"I felt the disappearance of many compatriots, they have finally left me."

Standing beside him, the Demigod Giant Demon sighed and said:

"This isn’t just your problem, we have been kept in the dark for too long."

The Grand Chief said indifferently, "This is no excuse for me to console myself, the fact is I succeeded in letting others have their way... fortunately, fortunately, we discovered it early."

The Demigod Giant Demon hesitated for a moment and said solemnly, "Grand Chief, do you really trust that Mr. Mayer?"

The Grand Chief remained silent for a brief moment and said, "A few years ago, you would never have questioned me like this."

The Demigod Giant Demon said heavily, "It’s not about questioning you, but the kind of power that resurrects the dead always reminds me of a certain existence."

The Grand Chief chuckled and said, "Are you referring to that Mad King?"

The Demigod Giant Demon nodded.

The Grand Chief shook his head and said, "Whether he has anything to do with the Mad King doesn’t matter, what matters is whether he can truly fulfill what he claims."

The Demigod Giant Demon said with some agitation, "But in the end, it is a desecration of the dead, breaking the balance of life and death, which will cause chaos in order."

"Do not forget how the Monet Kingdom was gradually corroded into the Undead Realm back in the day?"

The Grand Chief knew what the Demigod Giant Demon was cautious about. Years ago, the Monet Kingdom had also explored the technology of life’s forbidden zone and even achieved results at one point.

However, breaking the boundaries of life and death nearly permanently distorted their land. In the Monet Kingdom, the dead had to be cremated.

Because simply burying the corpses in the soil had a significant chance of directly turning into undead creatures.

This was the consequence of blurring the line between life and death.

In addition, the impact the Mad King brought back then was not small, and seeing this kind of power again made their first reaction to be vigilant.

The Grand Chief shook his head and said, "Ancestral Spirits and the Ancient Trees of Wisdom have confirmed that it is not simply technology, but authority."

The Demigod Giant Demon was stunned, never expecting that the power was actually authority.

Authority is the closest power to divinity and divine duties on the Star Continent, or rather, authority itself is an initial model of divine duty.

This kind of power is exceedingly rare, each one representing a super-spec power difficult to achieve through ordinary professional systems.

In fact, there is a type of authority, or rather a class of authority, that is most well-known on the Star Continent.

That is the authority of the seven deadly sins, which has left countless legends.

Though this authority has been divided into seven, it has still left a profound mark in the history of the Star Continent.

If it’s authority, that’s actually a good thing.

The Demigod Giant Demon deeply understood that authority’s greatest advantage lies in it being the "unique" source of power.

Just like each of the seven sins, only one of each sin will exist in the same period, definitely without duplication; if this power of resurrection comes from authority, there’s no worry about its spreading,

—at least it won’t fall into the hands of the King of the Living Dead like the Mad King’s did, then spreading infinitely outward.

The Grand Chief stepped forward, patting the demigod on the shoulder and said, "After I leave, the tribe will be managed by your Dragon Roar Clan."

Gale Dragon Roar sighed deeply, knowing he needed to bid farewell to the Grand Chief.

"Grand Chief, I will continue the mission of the Giant Demon, and then... establish a nation for the Giant Demon."

The Grand Chief softly acknowledged, sitting on the massive throne of white bones as if he had fallen asleep.

After a long while, he sensed a filthy yet dangerous power and slowly opened his eyes.

"It has finally begun; the rats in the gutter have emerged, and now I should also proceed with my final plan."

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Louis and his group began to face unprecedented fierce resistance.

While clearing an area turned desert, they found that the nearby stationed Giant Demons had all been wiped out.

An immensely large space tunnel suddenly appeared, followed by one Demon Creature after another crawling out, spreading endless death aura.

Olivia waved her hand, instantly flinging out dozens of large fireballs to burn the wolf-like Demon Creatures in front of them to ashes, frowning, she said:

"Not good, this is a large-scale sacrificial ritual."

Louis swung his sword, sweeping away all the Demon Creatures around: "What do you mean?"

"A sacrificial array has been inscribed beneath this land, and all these Demon Creatures are to be offered as sacrifices. The more we kill, the stronger the thing they are sacrificing to will become."
