Chapter 2358 Placake's Gaze
Rean and Kentucky immediately recognized the Azure Dragon. 'It's Placake!'
Placake is a Regal Azure Dragon and also the leader of the Demon Beast Races... Well, not exactly. Demon Beasts don't like the idea of being anyone else's subordinates, especially the Divinity Realm ones. However, when it comes to interactions with Spirit, humanoids, and others, they usually send Placake, who is the strongest between them.
Rean then looked at Kentucky and immediately warned. 'You better be concealing your Regal Bloodline! Don't tell me now that you can't hold it in.'
Kentucky nervously nodded. 'I know, I know! What do you think I'm doing?! I'm using my body and soul, focusing 100% on suppressing my bloodline. Still, he is truly very close. I'm not completely sure I can escape his perception.'
In the sky, the Regal Azure Dragon immediately caused the space laws of the area to go chaotic, making it impossible to teleport or open a Spatial Gate.
Froskley immediately tried to flee in another direction, but Gardo was there for him. "Oh no, you won't!" His body exploded with flames as he attacked Froskley.
Froskley gritted his teeth and immediately began to burn his own life essence. Right after, he used his strongest attack to try to fend off Gardo and escape.
*Boom!*
Cracks in space and spatial rifts appeared everywhere. Yet, both Garod and Froskley couldn't gain any advantage against each other. They truly went all out. The blast of their attacks once again forced each other back, returning to their original positions.
However, that was fine. Because the time it took for Froskley and Gardo to get to that standstill was enough for Placake to prepare his attack.
'Azure Dragon Breath!'
Froskley only had time to look back, and he saw a sea of blue flames spreading in his direction. It was so fast that he barely had the time to use his Devilish Energy to create a protection shield.
*Arrrrgh!*
However, how could an Initial Stage Divinity Realm Devil block a Regal Azure Dragon's attack when the Dragon was at the Peak Stage of the Divinity Realm? Even if Froskley was at the Peak Stage, Placake would definitely have the advantage due to his Regal Bloodline, let alone now.
Froskley's protection barrier was instantly incinerated, and then his body followed. In his last moments, he couldn't help but wonder. 'Why is Placake here? The other Divinity Realm Devils were supposed to keep one eye on him...'
There was indeed a reason for that. Placake had teamed up with Fosleve, the Sect Master of the Rambram Sect. Fosleve then used his many Formations Masters to build a Long-Distance Teleport Formation in record time while keeping it a secret. One of the Formations was near Gardo's Army, while the other was near Fosleve.
Gardo then used the communication badge to tell when their attack was about to succeed or fail. It doesn't matter how prepared the Devils were. They didn't have Rean's communication system. The Divinity Realm Devil, Abbadon, who was watching over Placake's movements, immediately noticed when Placake left.
However, without knowing where he went and having several other Elder Devils to warn, he could only use one Long-Distance Thoughts Transmission Talisman each time. By the time Abbadon picked Froskley's Talisman, it was too late. Placake had already arrived at the battlefield.
Placake didn't dwell over there, though. He immediately looked at Gardo before ordering. "Gardo, I can't leave my army for long. Abbadon should have noticed I left and might use the chance to kill my soldiers. I'm immediately returning. You take care of everything else here."
Gardo, who was quite tired and full of injuries, quickly recomposed himself and nodded. "Leave it to me."
Placake nodded and turned around, prepared to leave. However, for a moment, he had a strange feeling as his eyes turned in Kentucky's direction.
Kentucky sweated cold while he put even more effort into suppressing his Regal Bloodline. He totally could tell that Placake was looking directly at him. 'He didn't notice it, right? Right?!'
Placake narrowed his eyes. That feeling he got only lasted a fraction of a second, and he couldn't even tell what it was exactly. At the moment, Placake is the only Regal Divine Demon Beast alive, and he hadn't met the previous one either. That said, he couldn't even tell that what he felt was a resonation between Regal Bloodlines, especially due to how breath that resonation was.
Gardo, seeing Placake staying still in the air, couldn't help but ask. "Is everything okay? Do you need my help?"
Placake finally turned his attention away from Kentucky and shook his head. "There is no need." He truly didn't have much time. "I'm counting on you." Right after, he left as fast as he arrived, his gigantic body disappearing without a trace!
With Placake's disappearance, the bluish color of the skies returned to its dark gray one. After all, there were many Underworld Death Trees that had to be destroyed for the environment to start to go back to normal.
Kentucky finally sighed in relief. Different from him, Placake wasn't trying to suppress his own Regal Bloodline. Kentucky was able to feel it during the entire time Placake was around. But then again, that also helped Kentucky to know that Placake had really left. 'Holy shit! That was so close!'
Rean nodded. 'We couldn't send you into the Dimensional Realm either since it would look way too suspicious. Good job suppressing your Regal Bloodline. Placake is probably the only one who can see through your efforts even if you give your all. Fortunately, he seemed to be in a hurry and didn't try to check you more deeply.'
Kentucky understood that. 'Well, it is not like we can do much about it. We also selected an army far away from where Placake was located, but we still met him. I guess this is just our bad luck.'
Gardo didn't know any of that and simply began to issue his orders. A few minutes later, he came to see Rean and Kentucky. "Goku, thanks for the warning. If not for you, I would have lost my entire army to that formation. I'll make sure to report your achievements. You can wait for quite a few Merit Points in return."
"Thanks, senior Gardo." Risk and fortune walk side by side, and this outcome was another proof of it.
