Chapter 491: Chapter 344: Emergence and Preparation for Battle (Part 2)

The phantom spoke vaguely at first, but mentioned a very crucial existence, letting the Demon King know that it was not just guessing wildly.

However, the Demon King would not concede just like that. It proceeded to state that this was not an unsolvable matter, and the situation was still under its control.

"I will find out the truth about this matter and regain the power of immortality! I don’t need your interference!"

While speaking, it unleashed a part of its dark power, causing the phantom’s body to start wavering, creating many ripples.

"Can you feel it? I have waited two thousand years in that damned cage! The hatred of these two thousand years! No one can withstand it!"

The Demon King roared, using the powerful dark aura on its body to demonstrate that it had become stronger than ever before, ready to tear apart anyone who dared stand in its path.

"You are too arrogant, Morphis! Within the humans, there already exists someone no weaker than you! This is no longer two thousand years ago! Without my help, you will surely fall!"

At this point, the phantom, almost being torn apart by the Demon King’s powerful aura, still remained very determined, trying to persuade the Demon King to submit to it.

But the Demon King just laughed and tore the phantom apart with a claw, heedless of its words, considering them nonsense.

"Hahaha! Could humans be stronger than me? This only excites me more!"

Having driven away the interloper, the Demon King’s body then greatly shrunk, transforming into the figure of a black-skinned human. It flew towards the distant coast at a terrifying speed, appearing instantaneously with each second while staying very concealed, no longer as ostentatious as when it broke the seal earlier.

This indicated that it was not as reckless as it appeared, understanding that disguising at this stage was necessary to lay the groundwork for its grand endeavor.

While the Demon King headed towards the continent, in a grand castle on the continent, Duke Agulas Rod, dressed in a platinum robe, was sitting on a prayer mat meditating. He suddenly opened his weathered eyes, his figure flickered, and appeared in a nearby luxurious manor.

"Duke!"

"Your Grace!"

...

Nearly ten powerful human high-level professionals were gathered here. Ordinarily, none of them would submit to anyone, but in front of this respected and esteemed elder who summoned them, they all showed immense respect, a natural result of his strength, status, and reputation.

Upon hearing the greetings from these high-level professionals, the Duke showed a composed smile, his deep gaze sweeping over each of them, then his expression turned serious, notifying everyone that serious matters had begun.

"Everyone! Just now, my Investigation Skill yielded accurate results; the Demon King has already broken free from its seal! And my Prophetic Skill indicates its first destination is likely the Dark Tower! We shall defeat it there and cast it into the abyss of downfall!"

The elder stated solemnly.

"What? The Demon King has already appeared!"

"Let’s head to the Dark Tower and block it!"

"Why would the Demon King go to the tower?"

"Who knows? But I’ve heard that part of the Demon King’s equipment is in the tower."

"Victory belongs to humanity!"

...

After hearing the elder’s words, these professionals discussed fervently, but the common point was that none of them felt fear towards the Demon King, each one was in a state of high fighting spirit.

"Ah! Your Grace! Please give the order! My beloved lizard can’t wait to devour that vile Demon King! Victory must belong to us!"

The only player among this group, Raj the Lizard Tamer from India, after hearing, jumped onto his black giant lizard’s back, seemingly eager to charge at the forefront.

The Duke sensed that although this person did not seem overly powerful, his spirit always surpassed most, promptly appointing him to lead the charge against the Demon King.

The elder, with a laugh, said to the Indian man atop the giant lizard:

"Raj, I can sense your extraordinary fighting spirit, now you shall lead everyone to confront the Demon King! I will watch over you from behind, and will join the battlefield when necessary! To fight alongside you all!"

The Duke directly stated that he wouldn’t be the first to appear before the Demon King, requiring someone to spearhead the advance.

But no one saw any issue with this, after all, the Duke was a spellcaster, still a key figure for humanity, and to hold off the Demon King up front was someone else’s job. He only needed to use his power to maintain the overall situation and then secure the final blow at the crucial moment.

"As you command! Your Grace! Everyone, follow me! Destroy the damned Demon King!"

Raj, with slightly dark skin and sparse stubble on his cheeks, after hearing, patted the black giant lizard beneath him and became the first to dash towards the manor gate.

However, upon seeing this, none of the other professionals followed suit, all eyes were on the rather speechless Duke, ignoring Raj, whose spirit was perpetually overzealous.

Seeing Raj about to ride his giant lizard out of the manor, the elder could only wave his Magic Staff helplessly, summoning a portal in front of Raj, a spatial gateway leading from this place to the Dark Tower.

Raj, along with his giant lizard mount, immediately crashed into it, swiftly reaching the other side of the portal at the magnificent tower, followed by the other professionals, bidding the elder farewell and also entering the portal, making final preparations to face the Demon King.

Watching these diverse, all high-level professional beings connecting with the Tower Guard, the Duke recalled another person at this moment, a peculiar young man who had repeatedly rejected his invitations recently, saying he wanted to act alone.

"My Prophetic Skill tells me this person is the greatest hope in eliminating the Demon King this time. I must let him know the Demon King’s movements."

He quickly waved his Magic Staff to summon a magic carrier pigeon, letting the pigeon contact Wang Zhifan at immense speed, informing him of the Demon King’s latest situation.

When Wang Zhifan received the magical carrier pigeon’s message, he was amidst closed-door training in a high-end hotel, and it must be said that this intelligence arrived very timely, otherwise, he would have continued his immersion in cultivation, unaware that the enemy had already arrived.

"Sir, the Demon King will head to either the Dark Tower or the Dungeon, the tower already has many professionals guarding it, and we hope the Dungeon can be entrusted to you. We have not arranged any forces there, allowing you full autonomy."

Unlike the shared information with the other high-level professionals, the Duke told Wang Zhifan the complete future he foresaw, that the Demon King would appear at one of either the Dark Tower or Dungeon, instead of what he had previously mentioned to others that it would likely appear at the tower.

This was mainly because the Duke hoped there would be guardians in both places, and knowing Wang Zhifan’s strength far exceeded ordinary high-level professionals, he decided to position the professionals at the tower more favorable for battle, to ambush the possible arriving Demon King, while the Dungeon was entrusted to the powerful Wang Zhifan to handle alone.

One could say this was not deception towards others, but rather a choice made to facilitate the distribution of power, otherwise the forces on both sides might become unbalanced, giving the Demon King an opportunity to break through.

Upon receiving this intelligence, Wang Zhifan did not set out immediately, but instead thought about the accuracy of the information, after all, he had already arranged a clone in the Dungeon, ready to transfer over at any time.

"Based on the intelligence I’ve gathered these days, the Demon King’s visit to the tower is possibly to reclaim its former equipment and to summon some of its followers. Regarding its rush to the Dungeon, gathering minions is surely a key reason, but it’s hard not to suspect it’s also after the Undying Demon Dragon, aiming to reclaim the dragon’s power... then with Ithrace over there, I should prepare in advance..."

More than half a month passed, and Wang Zhifan had learned through his clone that Ithrace had long been resurrected and had communication with his clone, but the attitude of this fortunate alien girl towards the Demon King was questionable.

It was known that the tribe Ithrace belonged to always regarded the Demon King as the nominal supreme ruler, and should she decisively join the Demon King, the situation would become somewhat of a problem.
