End of the Magic Era - Chapter 1162

Chapter 1162: Allied Armies

This was just to confirm whether there were ores within the belly of the Abyssal Earthworm. Ultimately, five pieces of Eternal Dark Gold were discovered.

From that point on, everything they encountered in the desert was torn to pieces.

After attacking for a dozen days, the abyssal army already penetrated deep into the desert, making one guy unhappy.

Slythrin had made the firm decision to leave his original place to come to this desert and had already gotten rid of a dozen abyssal lifeforms to vent.

Slythrin was sitting in an underground palace under the desert, making yellow sand float around his fingertips. His burning flames and black smoke-covered eyes were filled with frantic malice.

‘Damned b*stard… I originally specially reincarnated as a Desert Demon, and I should have been able to rise extremely fast by relying on my quicksand spells, but apart from a desert, there have only been Demon Overlords around.

‘I ran over ten thousand kilometers and almost died a few times before finding this suitable region, but who would have thought that the Lesser Demon Overlord here would be killed before I even went to war with him?

‘Damn, my luck is really bad. I don’t remember anyone reincarnating as a pureblooded Flame Demon. This must be a descendant of Flame Demon Overlord.

‘Those crazy and unreasonable Flame Demon Overlords are a group of lunatics that no one in the Abyss wants to offend.

‘Damn, forget it. Since he wants to occupy the desert, I’ll let him occupy it. In any case, pureblooded Flame Demons don’t particularly like deserts. Once he nominally occupies the territory, he won’t be doing anything underground.

‘At that time, he will have to shift his attention to another place. After all, the three Demon Overlords to the south won’t wait for the pureblooded Flame Demon’s territory to slowly expand next to them.’

Slythrin didn’t really have a sense of belonging towards the Abyss. He hid under the desert and pretended to be dead, completely ignoring the abyssal army rushing over.

Unfortunately, he didn’t know that those crazy abyssal lifeforms only had a simple thought: excavating the desert to trade for Bloodline Potions.

Lin Yun’s territory kept expanding, and after a month, over half of the desert belonged to him. They still hadn’t taken over all of it because the desert’s environment was too vile, and the deeper they went in, the more deaths there would be.

The losses of the abyssal army were higher than during a war. But that didn’t influence the terrifying enthusiasm of the abyssal lifeforms.

These idiots were really prepared to excavate the entire desert.

And Slythrin was right… The Demon Overlords in the eastern, western, and southern territories were already paying attention to this place. They didn’t want to let a pureblooded Flame Demon wantonly expand towards their side.

Because as time passed, Flame Demons would slowly turn their territory into a zone of volcanos and lava. Under the guidance of the pureblooded Flame Demon, volcanoes would keep appearing to alter the environment until it was suitable for them.

And this kind of change was irreversible. As long as there was a pureblooded Flame Demon, the area would always turn into a field of volcanoes and lava, and as time passed, the surroundings would slowly turn into a world of flames.

This was the nastiest way that Flame Demons expanded their territories. Many Flame Demons dominated the world because there were only flames and lava. Apart from Demons that liked flames and lava, no Demon would be willing to remain in this kind of world filled with sulfur, and without a single drop of water.

The Shade Fiend Overlord east of Lin Yun had already dispatched many Shades to collect information in Lin Yun’s territory.

The western territory had just finished a war. The Demon Overlord had been suppressed, and a Purple-Eyed Demon Overlord already occupied this territory. Since Lin Yun, a Demon that wasn’t an Overlord, was blocking his expansion path, all he could do was start a war!

As a Demon whose brain wasn’t completely filled with lava, the Purple-Eyed Demon Overlord dispatched his own mount as a pathfinder.

With wings spanning over a hundred and fifty meters, the Lightning Eagle flew high above the chaotic Abyss. His eyes flickering with lightning could see everything within a few kilometers.

Indeed, this Lightning Eagle was the pitiful Dubois, the mount of a Purple-Eyed Demon Overlord. His Overlord was in the middle of a campaign and had just killed the Overlord of the territory adjacent to Lin Yun’s, and the next territory he planned on plundering was Lin Yun’s.

Fluttering within the deep black clouds, he kept looking down to quickly observe Lin Yun’s territory.

The abyssal army didn’t know what was hidden above them, and no Demons would care if someone was peeping from the sky.

In any case, the final outcome would be a war, and it would just be a melee when the war started, so who would care about someone spying on them?

This wasn’t the first time Dubois came to another Demon’s territory to spy. His Overlord had been able to plunder the territory west of Lin Yun’s so quickly due in large part to Dubois’ guidance.

He followed Lin Yun’s long and narrow territory before flying towards his steel fort. Just as he was taking a look, he saw a building within the fort explode.

A Flame Demon covered in blazing lava and flames walked out of the burning building and then turned to spit out a bright mouthful of lava.

After a few seconds, the flames dissipated, and the originally pitch-black building turned into a pile of ashes.

The pureblooded Flame Demon held a piece of dark golden metal and kept using flames to heat it. He then kept spitting runes onto that piece of metal.

As every rune fell onto the metal, it started emitting a faint halo. Soon, faint halo thoroughly enveloped that piece of metal.

The pureblooded Flame Demon suddenly stopped and looked at the sky. Dubois hurriedly flew up to hide back in the black cloud.

Keeping himself above the clouds, Dubois was still in shock.

‘Damn, who is that guy? Sh*t, a pureblooded Flame Demon understanding alchemy?

‘Raphael? No, I remember Raphael reincarnating into a Storm Demon…

‘F*ck, that guy is Mafa Merlin!

‘He hadn’t reincarnated into an ugly Abyssal Magic Bug, he tricked everyone and reincarnated into a pureblooded Flame Demon!’

Fluttering above the black cloud, Dubois decided against his original plan to fly down and fight.

‘No good, I can’t fight like this. Mafa Merlin has reincarnated into a pureblooded Flame Demon. If he can continue to experiment with alchemy, he might be able to refine some Magic Tools.

‘And who knows what other tricks there are in his steel fort? A Demon’s steel fort isn’t something a Level 37 Lightning Eagle can break through…’

The biggest benefit of having reincarnated as a Lightning Eagle was the ability to fly. Thanks to all the resources provided to him, he had recently leveled up to Level 37.

But Mafa Merlin was unexpectedly already Level 38. His leveling speed was terrifyingly fast. It would be a pity if he didn’t make use of such a good opportunity to get rid of Mafa Merlin.

‘I heard that Mafa Merlin is a very vengeful person. As long as he has the opportunity, he’ll definitely try to get rid of me. If he knew I reincarnated as a Lightning Eagle and that I’m only Level 37, he would definitely spare no costs to come to get rid of me.

‘No, I have to get rid of him first. That stupid Purple-Eyed Demon’s head is filled with lava. As long as I prod him a bit, he’ll definitely personally attack Mafa Merlin’s territory.

‘No, Mafa Merlin is a crafty guy… Who knows what he’s prepared. That Purple-Eyed Demon won’t be able to get rid of him.

‘If Mafa Merlin doesn’t die and learns who I am, then even if I leave the Abyss, I won’t be able to live without having to keep my head down.

‘To have become the mount of a Demon… Sh*t, that damned Purple-Eyed Demon Overlord had better die with Merlin.

‘It’s said that there is a Shade Fiend east of Mafa Merlin, and a Desert Demon to his north.

‘Right, I should make that Desert Demon and that Shade Fiend get rid of Mafa Merlin together. Two Demon Overlords and a strange Desert Demon would definitely be able to get rid of Mafa Merlin.

I absolutely can’t let him leave the Abyss alive. If that guy has an opportunity, he’ll definitely retaliate against me because of what happened before.’

Dubois’ gaze flickered as he once again poked his head out of the black cloud to peek at Mafa Merlin in his steel fort. He then immediately flew above and back towards the Purple-Eyed Demon’s territory.

After returning to the territory, Dubois immediately started his work.

“Lord, there is truly a Level 38 pureblooded Flame Demon over there. This must be the plot of a Flame Demon Overlord. I saw an alchemy laboratory over there.

“Damnit, there must be a Demon there that understands alchemy! After all, no Flame Demon understands abyssal alchemy. There must be a huge plot in the making.

“I also saw a large number of abyssal lifeforms dying. There are more deaths than during a war! That pureblooded Flame Demon is definitely setting up an altar and using blood and souls to summon a Flame Demon Overlord!

“If he isn’t killed, this territory will become a Flame Demon paradise!

“Lord, we should let that Shade Fiend in the east know of this matter, as well as the Desert Demon in the north and the Overlord in the south.

“They definitely won’t just watch as this happens. After all, if a pureblooded Flame Demon Overlord appears here, it won’t take long before our territory turns into a zone of lava and volcanoes.

“There would be no more sweet fruits, only thick flesh with a heavy smell of sulfur…”

Dubois’ words were frightening as he explained the terrifying consequences of not killing Lin Yun.

In fact, the crafty Demon was somewhat doubtful, but he couldn’t handle it when he heard about his territory transforming into a field of volcanoes and lava…

It was because this was the infamous method that Flame Demons used to expand their territory. It was indeed real.

Moreover, by roping in the other Demon Overlords, he wouldn’t be suffering from potential retaliation from a Flame Demon Overlord on his own.

As long as there weren’t any Flame Demon Overlords in his layer, the so-called retaliation wouldn’t be too strong. After all, all Demon Overlords didn’t like Flame Demons appearing in a world, so they’d be held in check without a Flame Demon Overlord to back them up.

As for the task of lobbying, it fell onto Dubois’ head. The southern Demon Overlord didn’t see Dubois because he had already started a war with a Demon Overlord further south, and the battle was already heated.

The eastern Shade Fiend was very easy to convince. The only requirement was to split the territory and cooperate.

As he flew towards the northern desert after having convinced one Demon Overlord, he soon saw Slythrin reincarnated as a Desert Demon.

When he saw the sand fluttering around Slythrin’s claws, Dubois immediately thought of him. This was Slythrin’s habit. He was constantly controlling sand, anytime, anywhere.

“Slythrin?”

‘Damn, that’s perfect! This Desert Demon is actually Slythrin!

‘It was said that Mafa Merlin got rid of the Quicksand Tower’s mages within the Raging Flame Battlefield, one of whom was Slythrin’s nephew.

‘Slythrin definitely wants to retaliate against Mafa Merlin. He definitely won’t pass up on such a good opportunity!’

Dubois shrank his body down to two meters in height before using his magic power to condense a rune. This rune was Dubois’ personal runic signature, even if it was only a shape now and didn’t possess the mana fluctuations belonging to Dubois.

“Sir Slythrin, I am Dubois. I didn’t expect to see you there!”

The sand fluttering within Slythrin’s fingers disappeared, and his cold eyes gazed upon Dubois.

“Sir Emissary, I think you have made a mistake. The name bestowed upon me by the Abyss is Darwin Dlo.”

Dubois was stunned, but he immediately smiled.

“Sir Slythrin, I don’t have any evil intent. I think you are still unaware, but the pureblooded Flame Demon attacking your territory is Mafa Merlin!”

Slythrin instantly exclaimed.

“What? That damned Flame Demon is Mafa Merlin?”

Slythrin reacted before hearing the whole sentence. This outburst clearly admitted his own identity.

Slythrin remained silent while Dubois kept enticing him.

“Sir Slythrin, you don’t need to be so vigilant against me. Don’t you know that I have unforgettable memories with Mafa Merlin?

“That damned guy acted against my two disciples. One of them was mercilessly killed in front of me, while the other is suppressed somewhere unknown.

“He then forcibly occupied my fort and made me pay a huge, humiliating price before returning it.

“I really regret not getting rid of him while he was still small and weak. It was too late, and I thought there would be no opportunity to get rid of him.

“Now, the opportunity has come. He is only a Flame Demon without the backing of a Flame Demon Overlord. He is only a Level 38 Flame Demon!

“As for our allied armies, we have two Demon Overlords, Sir Slythrin, and I. We can absolutely make Mafa Merlin sink in the Abyss forever.

“You should know that Mafa Merlin is the type of person to hold grudges. Since we offended him, he’ll definitely remember it. As long as he has an opportunity, he’ll frantically retaliate. He is a crazy mad dog, we have to get rid of him.

“By the time he returned, he would definitely look for an opportunity to get rid of us!

“Furthermore, that guy is proficient in alchemy. Even though he has reincarnated as a Flame Demon, he hasn’t given up on alchemy. Who knows what kind of method he’ll come up with?

“Thus, this time, my current Lord and the eastern Shade Fiend will block both sides. With Sir Slythrin, we can surround him, and he’ll absolutely be screwed!”

Dubois kept trying to persuade him and even carelessly used Abyssal Language.

Almost all abyssal lifeforms understood Abyssal Language, and it would have a peculiar effect when used.

There would be power when cursing, and when some powerful Demons cursed at weaker abyssal lifeforms, it would quickly bring disaster to those weaker victims.

And while enticing someone, the Abyssal Language would enhance their persuasiveness. No one could sense it, but it would directly affect the soul.

Slythrin also didn’t notice that Dubois was already using Abyssal Language.

But his heart felt that Dubois’ words were making sense. There would be no opportunity for revenge after leaving the Abyss.
