A Demon's Journey-Chapter 478 Deathly Energy

Deep Sea Demon King led his subordinates at a moderate pace. If he dashed at his full speed, his subordinates couldn't catch up to him. He had no intention of abandoning his subordinates.

On their way, they encountered multiple villages and towns. The demons had a rather ferocious look on their faces as they came across these weak humans.

They glanced at their Demon King with an expectant look on their faces. Deep Sea Demon King frowned as he noticed his subordinates' expressions. He knew these fellows wanted to slaughter the humans.

After thinking for some moments, he gave them the order to go through with it. According to his analysis, the Angels should still be a few days away from their location. By the time they reached the Underground Labyrinth in Cantalla district, the Demons would have reached the Underground Labyrinth in Buvila district.

Even if they slaughtered the humans, it would hardly change the situation. The angels would still do their utmost to hunt them.

However, his subordinates would be very grateful to him, increasing their loyalty. Thus, the Demon King felt that slaughtering the humans on their way to the Buvila district wasn't a bad idea.

Nudar and Dylan's group followed the Demon King. Dylan and Camille seemed greatly affected as they witnessed the massacre.

Dylan wished to engage the demons, but Margeria prevented him. She smacked him across the face before shouting at him and making him understand that it would be useless if he fought the demons now.

Nudar quietly observed Dylan's reactions. Dylan seemed to have clenched his fists tightly and took a rather cliché oath. It went along the lines of slaughtering all demons and so on.

Nudar couldn't help but roll his eyes as he heard that oath. The ignorant were truly fearless.

After Dylan took that oath, Nudar couldn't help but speak up, "Well, the demons are right ahead. It's time for you to fulfill your oath."

Dylan couldn't help but glare at Nudar hatefully. He already understood that he would die if he attacked the demons now. There were multiple Demon Lords and even a fearsome Demon King!

Yet this fellow was urging him to attack now!

Seeing Dylan remain fixated at his spot while hatefully glaring at Nudar made Margeria and Camille chuckle. Even the Wood Elf joined them and started laughing at Dylan. It seemed as though the oath Dylan took earlier had become a huge joke to them.

It was fortunate for the group that Nudar's barrier prevented any voice from leaking out; otherwise, the demons would have found them and attacked them already.

Jander, the Wood Elf, began to talk at this moment, "…Where are the demons going? I can't sense anyone from my race in that direction."

Nudar rolled his eyes and spoke, "Clearly, the Celestials didn't find all the Labyrinths. Not all Labyrinths are in plain sight as the one before. This one is probably sealed deep within the ground and only comes to the surface through a specific procedure."

Jande felt that those words made sense and replied, "Hmm. That might be true." He soon added with a frown, "But why did the demons suddenly leave their Labyrinth? They were safe there. I have never heard of demons leaving their Labyrinths and heading to another one."

Nudar shrugged and replied, "I don't know about that. Maybe they wanted to take a breath of fresh air and meet some old friends."

"…Or maybe they just wanted to massacre some humans," Dylan responded with venom in his voice.

Nudar rolled his eyes at those words, "You seem awfully disturbed at this sight. Tell me, what were you doing when the demons attacked the Origin Sect?"

Dylan was stunned upon hearing that question. He was actually speechless as he was merely a 3 Star Warrior, and most of the demons attacking the origin sect were 4 Star Demons. There was no way he could have won against the demons.

However, he couldn't just say that he was afraid of fighting the demons. However, he felt that Margeria and Camille would consider him a spineless man.

He had taken that oath earlier just to impress them with his determination and heroism! It would become utterly useless! In fact, they would look down on him.

But Nudar wasn't going to stop at this moment. He added with a sneer, "What? Cat got your tongue? Stop shouting like an idiot all the time. It's annoying!"

Dylan gritted his teeth upon hearing those words. He hatefully glared at Nudar. He wanted to do nothing more than rush up and slash him with his sword!

However, he knew that Nudar was much stronger than him, so he restrained his anger and tried to show a smile. It was a rather ugly smile, and Nudar couldn't help but turn his body to ensure he couldn't see this idiot.

It was rather annoying for Nudar to even look at Dylan and not punch this guy in the face.

'No. I can't just beat him up today. I need to find out more about this fate thingy,' Nudar thought.

After a few days, the group entered the Buvila district! Nudar could sense the Labyrinth in his range.

Nudar immediately brought Jander and asked him to inform the Angels that the demons had entered the Buvila district!

Moreover, Nudar made sure to have Jander add that there was only a single Demon King here.

The Angels had no idea that there was another Underground Labyrinth. For a single Demon King, they were definitely going to send only a pair of Angels. At the most, it could be three Angels, definitely not more than that.

Nudar felt that he could handle that force.

While they were traveling, Nudar gathering the Death Energy. This Death Energy continued to increase as the demons slaughtered more humans.

However, Nudar didn't absorb this Death Energy. If he absorbed it, his perfect Celestial Ardor and Bloodline would be infected with a part of Demonic Ardor. He couldn't do that.

Thus, he was storing this Death Energy in his Spatial Ring.

His Spatial Ring couldn't just store objects but also intangible energy. He was going to use this Death Energy to set up a massive array. 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚

Actually, now that he could sense the location of the Labyrinth in the Buvila district, Nudar wanted to quickly set up the array.

He stared at Margeria and spoke, "I need to do something urgently. I will set up a concealment array around you all. Just make sure to not move about 10 miles from this spot while I am away."

He then looked at Jander, "I will use your Wood Elven Bloodline as support. It would make the array hold out for a week at least."

"…Alright," Jander responded.

After saying those words, the angel wings unfolded on Nudar's back as he flew towards the ground directly above the Underground Labyrinth.

The death energy immediately started to leak from his ring.

Nudar used his Holy Ardor to envelop the entire Death Energy and started to set up an array through it.

This was a Killing Array known as the Deathly Barrage of Exploding Spears!

It took him about one whole day to set up this array and another half a day to conceal it using another array. He used his Holy Ardor to set up a concealment array that could prevent any aura of Death Energy from leaking out.

Nudar believed that this concealment array could hold out for 5 days at the most.

And the Demon King would be here with his army in two days. According to Nudar's calculations, the Angels would take around two more days to get here.

If the Angels were here in time, Nudar would deactivate the concealment array, which in turn would activate the Deathly Barrage of Exploding Spears. But this was an important juncture. At this point, Nudar wouldn't use his array to attack these demons with Exploding Spears.

No. That would be stupid! He would merely use the Deathly Energy to deal with the Spatial Laws of the Underground Labyrinth.

A Demon King could empower the Labyrinth's Spatial Laws. However, did they have enough time? They were going to battle the angels at that moment, after all! And after both parties were tired out, Nudar would fully activate his Deathly Barrage of Exploding Spears and kill everyone inside.

This would allow Nudar to kill the angels and the demons simultaneously and loot their stuff from their corpses. It was a rather old-fashioned way of gathering treasures. Still, Nudar wanted to replenish his resources now that he had splurged quite a bit in the Sinyalian Kingdom and the Glerian Kingdom.

Also, if the Angels took longer to arrive, Nudar would still activate the Deathly Barrage of Exploding Spears and use all its energy to create a barrier, preventing the demons from leaving the array.

This would naturally use quite a bit of Death Energy. In fact, by the time the Angels arrive, Nudar was sure that his array would be nearly out of energy.

During that time, Nudar was going to slaughter a few villages and towns to gather more Death Energy. He was going to empower the array with that Death Energy!

All in all, it was a full-proof plan!
