Chapter 1082: Section 1083 Humans Finally Enter the Scene
With this in mind, Yadasai, who had remained silent, finally spoke up—
“Since the Lord Galal has turned his gaze from the Abyss to Lassudral, we naturally cannot allow the Lord to underestimate us. How can Lassudral be allowed to turn into a sea of fire? Indeed, as Nitotipu said, now is the time to go out and stop it.”
In fact, apart from Komodo, the thoughts of the other demons were not much different from Yadasai’s. However, it was Yadasai who spoke first.
“I think there’s some truth to what Komodo said, it’s not just Lassudral that will be reborn in the flames, but the souls of the demons too will be reforged in the fire. When they return from the Abyss under the guidance of Kulangduo, won’t their foundation be even stronger?” The one speaking was the burly Urdixinos, a horned demon also known as the Lion-horned Demon, wielding a trident, and a gold bell hung from the tail of a demon on its back.
Its statement immediately placed itself in opposition to Nitotipu, but no demon present believed for a moment that Urdixinos would actually support the transformation of Lassudral into a sea of fire.
It didn’t possess the fire attribute itself; the only reason it spoke so was because Yadasai had spoken first.
Did Yadasai have a grudge against Urdixinos? Not at all.
The only connection between them was that they had both shared the same bed partner, the soon-to-be-transformed Nya.
If this were before, Urdixinos wouldn’t have cared who Nya was involved with, since after all Nya was a Pannas Charm Demon, naturally flirtatious by nature. But after Nya’s awakening, the situation took a turn.
In the future, Nya might rival even a lord in power, and such a Succubus was fitting for Urdixinos’s standards as a companion. Moreover, Nya’s awakened form involved an enlarged and deepened physical body which matched Urdixinos’s true form, making it even more satisfied with Nya.
However, from the current situation, Nya’s emotional inclinations seemed to lean more towards Yadasai.
Therefore, in the eyes of Urdixinos, Yadasai instantly became a thorn. But was Nya truly more partial to Yadasai? In reality, anyone with clear eyes could see that Nya never cared about her bed partners.
But for the love-blinded Urdixinos, none of that mattered.
During the previous meeting in the Void Tower about the cessation of light sources, Urdixinos had clashed with Yadasai, so it was unsurprising to see them at odds again.
However, Urdixinos’s logic, clearly influenced by desires of the flesh, was not accepted by the other great demons. Not only did Nitotipu express dissatisfaction, but the other great demons who were watching the drama also showed scorn.
“We must make a decision immediately, whether to intervene or to let things be. If we continue to disregard it, it’s hard to predict the consequences, and we won’t be able to explain ourselves to Lord Galal,” Nitotipu spoke up. “If you choose to continue to stand by, then I can only go to the top floor to open the passage and leave this place with my subordinates.”
The demons looked at each other, and even though Nitotipu used abandonment as a threat, not many were willing to take a stand at this moment.
Urdixinos and Komodo stood on one front, Yadasai and Nitotipu on another, and the remaining three great demons did not take the initiative to break the balance.
If things continued as they were, the outside would indeed turn into a sea of fire, which would be detrimental to them. It hadn’t yet reached the point of no return, and they each had their own agendas. Although they were inclined to side with Nitotipu, no one spoke up immediately.
Nitotipu, with a dark look in her eyes, glanced around the council chamber and said coldly, “You may disregard Lord Galal, but aren’t you afraid of the Lord of the Flameless’s blame? If at this time, human Wizards break in, how will we fulfill the defensive alliance we made with Aoluxiya?”
Bringing up the Lord of the Flameless immediately brought silence to the room.
It was at this moment that Komodo said, “All Spatial Passages have been sealed; do you think humans have a way to break in?”
“What about traveling through the Void?” Nitotipu looked over.
“Aoluxiya has just arrived at Lassudral. Even if humans immediately get the news and then smuggle themselves to Lassudral through the Void, it will take at least three or four days. By then, Aoluxiya will have long since left,” Komodo replied.
“Are you certain there haven’t been any oversights?”
Nitotipu raised her eyebrows, and the tentacles under her skirt began to retract as if turning into a ladder to support her upper body. Without moving her upper body, Nitotipu was lifted by her tentacles to a council hall window.
The view outside was apocalyptic.
The sky was full of burning flames, with rivers of fire turning the ground into a sea of fire at a visible rate. Nitotipu turned back to look at the assembly, “Look outside for yourselves. Do you really think Lassudral can be reborn from the fire?”
The demons looked towards Nitotipu, whose silhouette was edged by the firelight outside the window. In the backlight, if one disregarded the horrifying tentacles beneath her, Nitotipu’s appearance was actually very beautiful.
As they gazed outward, the demons each had their own thoughts.
Just then—
Suddenly, a bright white light appeared outside!
The intense white light made the silhouette of Nitotipu at the window flicker constantly.
For a moment, all the demons did not know what had happened outside, why such an intense white light appeared. Even Nitotipu looked baffled as she turned her head only to be met with an endless expanse of dazzling brilliance.
As the white light slowly receded, Nitotipu’s pupils shrank sharply.
The flames were still there, but now, in the sky outside, a third faction had suddenly appeared.
Humans! A large number of human Wizards had appeared on the battlefield!
With the fury burning in her eyes barely contained, Nitotipu turned to look at the assembly of demons in the council hall and spoke coldly, enunciating each word, “Who said earlier that it’s absolutely impossible for humans to arrive?”
Komodo was so shocked that he couldn’t care less about Nitotipu’s sarcasm. Why, why had humans arrived at Lassudral so quickly?!
And as soon as the human Fuyi appeared, he immediately began harvesting the already mostly crippled demons on a large scale. Within a short period, hundreds of demons fell from the sky like meteors, crashing into the already scarred city.
Panic painted Komodo’s face; now it had to ignore the faint trace of the Primeval Flame, knowing that Lord Galal was watching this place at all times. The humans’ target was clear, they were after Aoluxiya, and if something happened to Aoluxiya, none of them could escape the responsibility.
Komodo immediately turned and shouted loudly, “The human’s appearance is unexpected, but now, we must prepare to intercept!”
“Now you realize it’s urgent and you want to intercept? Remember, it’s your hesitation that has led to the current situation!” After speaking, Nitotipu sneered and let the tentacles below carry her away from the conference hall.
“Nitotipu!”
The shouts from behind did not stop Nitotipu from leaving; its body slithered towards the top of the Void Tower.
Although the current situation was not yet the worst, Nitotipu had to prepare for the worst. Should anything unforeseen occur, an escape plan was necessary, and currently, the only route out of Lassudral was through the passage at the top of the Void Tower.
When Nitotipu had arranged everything and closed the top floor’s door behind her, she failed to notice a faint crimson chain that had emerged in the sky above the Void Tower from the Void.
…
Angel had speculated before that when Aoluxiya appeared on the surface, human wizards may also enter the stage of Lassudral.
He had imagined many scenarios—when would the human wizards appear, in what manner, and under what circumstances?
He thought of many answers but never expected their arrival to be so swift and sudden.
Also, the timing was just as the sky Pattern was entirely obscured, and the humans’ massive floating iceberg passed through the last corner of night left in the sky.
Once the enormous iceberg entered Lassudral, the night in the sky finally perished, and the flames entirely enveloped Lassudral. It was as if a dome of firelight cocooned Lassudral.
No one could escape this “prison” made of flames.
“Indeed it’s humans.” Fafnir looked at the floating iceberg in the sky, not surprised, as she had previously sensed the possibility of a new faction outside the Void. She had speculated this in her heart.
Her speculation had proved correct.
However, the timing of the humans’ appearance was very interesting.
It was precisely when the Primeval Flame was about to be born, and the fire dome encapsulated Lassudral. In the following period, until the Primeval Flame was completely nurtured, Lassudral would become a completely enclosed Miniature Garden.
On such a Miniature Garden stage, what kind of play would the humans, demons, Demon God descendants, and the newly ascended lords perform?
Fafnir had plans to take Angel from Lassudral through the Abyss below before the dome fell. But, looking at the chaos before her, she suddenly felt curious to see how this play would unfold.
She raised her hand and cast a gust of wind, sweeping the surrounding sea of fire and thoroughly concealing the position of the Misty Cabin.
After doing all this, Fafnir contentedly perched on the only remaining tree top in the yard, activating a mode of watching the drama unfold.
Angel was also looking at the floating iceberg in the sky, but he was more interested in seeing the people on the iceberg clearly.
The floating iceberg, a distinctive mode of Flight, definitely belonged to the Frostmoon Alliance. Then, among the wizards who came this time, might there be familiar faces?
If Lord Kanter was here, maybe Angel could inquire about Sanders’ whereabouts.
Ever since Sanders disappeared in the Spatial Passage, Angel had been worried about his situation. If it hadn’t been for the blood essence Sanders left with him that hadn’t withered, Angel might have thought he was dead.
Speaking of blood essence, Angel suddenly thought of something and took out Sanders’ blood essence from deep within his bracelet.
When Angel saw the blood essence in his palm, his eyes flashed with surprise.
It was currently radiating a faint light, looking like a bright gemstone.
Angel had never seen such a state before. Curiously, he probed into the blood essence with his spiritual power, and the next second, a hazy voice suddenly appeared in his ear.
‘An…gel…’
Angel looked at the blood essence with surprise and doubt. Was it his imagination, or did he just hear Sanders’ voice?
He tried responding to the blood essence, “Mentor, is that you? Where are you?”
But after a long while, there was no response from the blood essence.
What was going on?!
