Chapter 216: The Last Madness of Kurrus Fortress’s Dark Shamans (Part 2)

Editor: Entelechy
Because of Clyde’s intentional interference with the ritual magic array’s invitation, he directly cut the line midway and squeezed out the original summoning target from the summoning sequence. Therefore, a big problem appeared in this summoning ritual magic array. Since the summoning target had been changed midway, this summoning had been a failure.
Originally, the discarded warehouse had been cold, but now, the temperature rapidly rose. The red summoning magic array drawn with blood also changed colors as its blood-red light dimmed into a queer black light as if its energy had been exhausted. Furthermore, a black mysterious shadow appeared, and tentacles sprang out from the ground, attacking those unguarded Dark Shamans and sacrificial offerings.
The Dark Shamans were alarmed. When they tried to flee, they were attacked by the black tentacles. Their hands and legs were tied to hang them midair in either “大” or “ç?«” character postures. When they opened their mouths, an indescribable thing was stuffed into their little mouths. That indescribable thing also touched their flower gardens, seemingly warning the Dark Shamans not to resist.
These Dark Shaman beauties’ aloof expressions had turned to panic. The sensation of those indescribable things’ tips was not good. It differed only a little bit from the real thing. It was impossible for them to even close their white legs due to the bindings of the black tentacles. Nevertheless, this was just the hunting stage. Without a special command from a certain behind-the-scenes existence, these black tentacles would not have take any arbitrary actions.
In addition to these Dark Shaman beauties, those maids couldn’t avoid this calamity. They were similarly taken care of by those black tentacles. Those white lambs had already been bound with shackles, so there was no need to tie them up again. The black tentacles merely symbolically bound them with tips resting near their front and back gates, giving an indescribable pressure to these war trophies.
As the behind-the-scenes manipulator, Clyde could see this entire scene after successfully invading the summoning magic array. After entering the summoning ritual magic array, Clyde arrived where the summoning target was located. It was neither the Ghost Realm or the Demon Realm but rather the Hamilton Marsh Area in the southern part of Antaur Town where the castle of Ancient Demon King Philip was located.
Ancient Demon King Philip was petrified. Originally, because he had been about to gain some sacrificial offerings, he had worn a complacent smile, but it was frozen on his face after his expression had stiffened. Although he couldn’t see through Clyde’s strength, since this fellow could seize the summon magic array midway, this fellow’s combat power was definitely several times higher than his.
“Cough cough, fri... friend! You are too fierce! How could you cut the line! This kind of thing has rules...”
“What, do you have any objections? Last time, I just destroyed your energy hand. This time...” f(r)eewebn(o)vel.com
“No... no objections! It turns out to be you...”
Ancient Demon King Philip sweated profusely. He roughly understood Clyde’s background now; he was that death knight who had snatched Princess Annie. Now, he was being bullied in his own territory. Eyeing Clyde, he had no guts to probe the upper limits of the other party’s strength.
Clyde also observed Ancient Demon King Philip. This male demon king had fiery-red hair with a pair of demon horns. His attractiveness index had no problem: he was worthy of the title Demon King. A handsome young man from the perspective of humans, his blood-red demonic eyes were currently filled with vigilance and caution. However, Clyde felt that this Ancient Demon King’s combat power was inferior to Ancient Demon King Andrisno and Ancient Demon King Tinas’s.
In fact, the combat power of Ancient Demon King Philip, Andrisno, and Tinas had all originally been on the same level, but those two female demon kings had received the special teachings of a Great Old One Evil God. After his moisturizing, they had gained a mysterious power boost, so Philip was no longer their opponent.
“What? You... what do you want? My... My castle is dirt poor. Don’t look at how big my castle is! It actually has no money!”
Seeing Clyde had no intention to leave, Ancient Demon King Philip nearly collapsed. He indeed didn’t lie. Although this caste built in the depths of Hamilton Marsh looked somewhat imposing, there were no money or valuables inside, not even a pocketful of gold coins. As a demon king, his situation was truly miserable.
“You... what’s with your look? Don’t look at my current appearance! In the past, I was... was one of the very best among the demon kings!”
Recognizing the contempt and sympathy in Clyde’s gaze, Philip was even more embarrassed. In any case, he was an Ancient Demon King, so being looked down on was quite uncomfortable. After learning Philip’s dark history of self-destruction, Clyde finally understood why this Ancient Demon King was so miserable. Among the Ancient Demon Kings, Philip was one of the few who had been successfully sealed by human heroes. Thus, he had utterly lost all face, even the junior demon kings regarded him as a laughing stock.
Don’t look at his handsome appearance. This fellow was actually a lecherous gentleman. In those years, he had been very fond of beauties. Thus, female brave warriors had been sent to crusade against him, and he had been successfully sealed using seduction tricks. This result had been so shameful that the other Ancient Demon Kings hadn’t felt like helping him after he had been sealed, fearing that their status would fall if they became associated with Philip.
As for the matter of Philip liking to perform taboo experiments, this too had been made up by the other Ancient Demon Kings. His preference for beauties and having intimate relations with the females of other races was regarded as a taboo experiment. In fact, many demon kings were quite principled and disdained intimate relations with inferior races like the Human Race, worrying about it damaging their pure demon king lineage. The demon kings who craved for other races were basically all mixed-blood demon kings. Among the pure-blood demon kings, there were only a few individuals like Philip. Most of the pure-blood demon kings didn’t do this kind of thing.
Philip was also bragging when he claimed that he had been among the best. In fact, he had never been strong, but the Ancient Demon Kings he had befriended were. Because of his lecherous nature, he didn’t recognize most male demon kings, but he perfectly remembered all the female demon kings. This fellow knew himself very well and was very gentlemanly with similar level female demon kings. He could even be regarded as an ordinary friend of Andrisno and Tinas.
“You are too miserable. How about it: do you want to follow me? I won’t treat my subordinates unfairly.”
“This... what’s the price?”
“No need. I’m not interested in men, but do you have an elder sister or a younger sister?”
“I have... Merely, it’s been a long time since we’ve had contact. All of them are Ancient Demon Kings. You... What do you want to do? They... they are all very strong.”
“Never mind, I was just asking casually.”
Philip regretted it immediately after speaking since he noticed that the other party seemed to be a kindred spirit who might be even more playful than himself. However, it was already late: he had already sold his elder and younger sisters. It was very difficult to overturn what he had already said. Clyde and Philip quickly reached a cooperation agreement where Philip would gather monsters to attack Earl Royle of Tonister City to force those over 30,000 troops to withdraw, cutting off the final fellow who could support Marquis Charles.
Philip controlled over 50,000 monster troops in the Hamilton Marsh Area and was not subjected to any seal. He was just terrified that the Valkyries of the Divine Realm would notice him if he took the initiative and send down a Divine Punishment to execute him. But Valkyrie Cynthia, the current supervisor of this region, was one of Clyde’s people. She would have selective blindness. After Clyde guaranteed that there would be no problems, Philip finally agreed to dispatch his troops.
Ancient Demon King Philip had no lofty ambitions. He was a demon king who liked beauties, much like Clyde and those prodigal young masters of the aristocratic clans. It was very easy to communicate with this kind of person. After the deal was completed, Clyde got up, preparing to leave through the summoning ritual magic array, but he seemed to remember something and immediately turned around while stretching out his hand in front of Philip.
“Bo... Boss, this younger brother truly has no money to show filial respect to you or women. Can you take it slow first? Wait until I...”
“Don’t feign ignorance, Annie’s command contract is still with you! You should understand what I mean!”
“Boss, I’m like this now... Wait, I understand! This is for you!”
Philip looked tangled as if he had been blackmailed. Princess Annie’s attractiveness index and natural talent made him feel like he had lost a piece of flesh. After a painful choice, Philip finally handed over Princess Annie’s command contract. After the transfer of power, Clyde returned to Kurrus Fortress, preparing to fight a decisive battle against Marquis Charles.
