Chapter 272: Chapter 222 Devil Lord_2
Translator: 549690339
The Angel relies on the statue, with six wings growing out of his back, a halo over his head, dressed in white clothes, blazing so brightly it was hard to look at directly.
In front of him, a boundless light suppresses an enormous, dark green skull, almost ten meters in size.
The dark green skull is exceedingly ugly, covered with disgusting, uneven tumors. The front of the skull is entirely occupied by a single eye filled with bloodlust, murderous intent and brutality.
Fierce roars and painful screams emanate from the skull. Merely the terrifying sound would be enough to cause a typical master-level pet beast to explode and die, but it could do nothing to improve its current predicament.
Several kilometers away from the battlefield where the Angel and dark green skull were fighting, Earl Lane rides on his pet beast, his face filled with panic.
Even though he is several kilometers away from the Angel, he is still very terrified of its presence and doesn’t dare to make the slightest move.
Actually, Earl Lane had already been there since yesterday. His original intention was to report to the Devil Lord, but he didn’t expect the Angel to be several times faster than him. It had already arrived at the Devil Lord’s location before him and started fighting without saying a word.
Just as Earl Lane had imagined, the Devil Lord, who had not yet fully regained his Overlord-level power, was being beaten up by the Six-winged Angel without the ability to resist. He was completely battered just like a child, his only strength was used to cry out in pain.
Perhaps because the Devil Lord once had Overlord-level strength, this skull was really extremely tough. No matter how hard the Angel hit it, it wasn’t destroyed. On the contrary, the crying sound was even louder.
“It has been wailing for almost twenty hours now. The Devil Lord really has robust vocal cords!”
Amidst his terror, a somewhat absurd thought flashed through Earl Lane’s mind.
After this thought passed, Earl Lane suddenly felt like he had discovered something.
“Why do I feel like the Devil Lord is in better shape now than at the beginning?
Earl Lane stopped thinking for a moment as he quickly widened his eyes in disbelief, his panicked expression transforming into sheer joy.
“Hahaha! The Devil Lord truly is the Devil Lord! Just a puny Angel couldn’t even touch him!”
In the battle between the Angel and the Devil Lord, the earth underneath them began to tremble violently. Ten stone pillars suddenly shot out from the ground, and when they completely erupted, they were revealed to be gigantic hands.
Next appeared two even more imposing legs and a chest. Finally, taking into account the head of the Devil Lord, a giant several hundred meters tall rose up from the ground!
“Hahaha! Puny Angel! Who would know that the Devil Lord was actually using you to dissipate the sealing power, helping the Devil Lord regain his freedom, and successfully promoting him to Overlord!”
In Earl Lane’s demented laughter, the entire body of the Devil Lord was exposed to the world.
However, there was a large hole in the left chest of the behemoth body of the Devil Lord, utterly empty with nothing inside.
At this moment, Earl Lane saw the Devil Lord’s hands swinging, tightly gripping the body of the Angel. In the next instant, he would pull it towards the hole in his chest.
He intended to stuff the Angel into the broken spot in his left chest, replacing the lost heart!
Boom Boom—!
However, just as the Devil Lord was about to succeed, his hands disintegrated, and a meteor shot out from the inside, disappearing in an instant.
“How laughable! The might Angel has been defeated and fleeing from the Devil’s hands!” Earl Lane paused a moment, then his laughter became even more wild.
Seeing the Angel disappearing, the Devil Lord was furious. Darkness flashed on his body, his hands’ injuries vanished in an instant. Darkness swirled around him, wildly radiating to his surroundings.
Within this darkness, countless demon beasts roared and swam through the darkness like fish, spreading at an extreme speed.
“What a shame, the Devil Lord was just one step away from advancing directly to Overlord -level! ”
“But with the disappearance of the seal and without the obstruction of the array, the Devil Lord also eliminated his bottleneck. He can advance with time alone! ”
Earl Lane was calculating quietly.
“As long as the Devil Lord advances, it means the Devil’s Domain level has successfully advanced to four stars. That would mean the time for me to become an Evil Beast Master has arrived.”
“Once I become an Evil Beast Master, while inside the Shadow Demon Domain, my chances of advancing to King Beast Trainer will greatly increase! No, I should say, Overlord-level Evil Beast Master.”
Coming to this point, Earl Lane’s dream of over a hundred years was about to be realized, and he suddenly felt somewhat dazed.
“Over a hundred years! A hundred years!”
“My dream is finally seeing the dawn!”
“Alas, it’s not that I, Earl Lane, wanted to be a traitor… If becoming a traitor… If I could achieve my dream by being a decent person, then why the hell would I want to be a traitor!”
“Who doesn’t know that being a traitor is a disgrace forever!”
“I have been trapped in the ranks of the Grandmaster for nearly eighty years.
How many sets of eighty years does a human life have?”
“That’s precisely seventy-nine years, three months, twenty-five days, and eleven hours!”
“To think that I was promoted to Grandmaster at the young age of thirty-eight and was voted as the most talented individual of that year.”
“But advancing to the status of a king-level Beast Master is too difficult. It took me another ten years to reach Senior Grandmaster, but after that, there was no sign of progress whatsoever, no matter how hard I worked or how much I pushed myself, my realm remained unchanged.”
“Who could understand my despair?”
“I saw people who were far inferior to me during the same period advance to king-level Beast Masters, and even unheard-of juniors gradually climb to the rank of king-level Beast Master, while I remained at the stage of Grandmaster…”
“At this moment of despair, I accidentally stumbled upon a method for promotion…”
Earl Lane raised his head, looking into the distant darkness where the Devil Lord was positioned.
“Devil Lord… Devil Lord…”
Earl Lane muttered incoherently, looking lost and dazed.
After chatting with the members of the Red Maple Mercenary Group for a while, Vincent Wolf left. They had no valuable information left, so he continued his search for people from the Light God Country in the Devil’s Domain.
Without the darkest moment, it is a touch easier to find people in the Shadow Demon Domain. However, due to the vast expanse of the Shadow Demon Domain, Vincent was still unable to find them in a short period of time.
Just as Vincent and Elly Ford were searching around, a black line came streaking speedily across the sky. Inside the black line was an endless dark concealment. Its speed was so fast that even the human eye couldn’t keep up.
Vincent only got a glimpse of the black line far off in the sky before he found himself engulfed in darkness the very next instant.
Vincent felt his body being consumed by darkness again and hastily fished out the light stone.
The faint glow illuminated Vincent’s surroundings and rescued him from his drowning state.
“What’s happening!”
In his surprise, Vincent felt somewhat relieved that he had prepared a light stone in advance, otherwise things might nave gone terribly wrong. “The darkest hour is upon us.” Elly Ford was also quite frightened.
“But haven’t the angels been dispatched?”
Vincent looked amazed.
One should know that a Mid-rank Angel possesses Dominator-level combat power. If they have failed, it only means that the Shadow Demon Domain has reached Four-star level.
In other words, from this moment on, Kyoto City is destined for catastrophe!
“I knew it… I knew the folks of the Light God Country can’t be trusted. The angel that they sent failed to replace the Abyssal Will. It seems that it’s up to me now.”
Just as Vincent was thinking along these lines, Elly Ford suddenly screamed: “Vincent, look quickly! The area lit up by the light stone is shrinking!”
“What!”
Vincent’s eyes widened, and upon careful observation, he realized that the light stone in his hand was indeed lighting up a shrinking area.
Though the shrinking speed was very slow, it was still observable with the naked eye.
“Damn crook! They sold me fake goods!”
Vincent hurriedly asked Elly Ford to take out her light stone.
Unexpectedly, even Elly Ford’s light stone displayed the same peculiar condition.
“You also bought a fake?”
“Impossible, I bought mine through regular channels!” “Then…
Only one terrifying conclusion registered in Vincent’s mind.
“That can only mean… the darkness of the Shadow Demon Domain is now becoming stronger….”
