Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen-Chapter 351: Zerians
"Eh, why is Boss Erix here?"
"Eh, you don't know since you moved here a few days ago."
"Actually, Boss Erix and his gang travel to different areas every day for world boss so that his own area's people can get more reward."
"They arrived here twelve days ago last time if I remember correctly."
"Why do they do this?"
"Eh, This is a win-win for us and his guild's area. Wherever they do world boss, that area would always defeat it fastest, so they at least get a general fastest rank world boss killing reward."
"Although they'll hog the majority of points that come from participating in World Boss, it's still beneficial for us because the general kill rank reward everyone gets is the same.
"Haha, we'll be getting our first place again and a bonus of 1380 coins."
"It's 1390 was yesterday."
"The world boss appeared. Damn, it's a freaking snowman?!"

…
After finishing the World Boss even with Erix, Rin, Aria, and Isabella hogging the top spots, everyone returned.
Of course, with a little detour.
"Let us see if your boastful surprise matches the hype," Erix chuckled and caressed Sangle's furry back slightly. "Buddy, lead us there."
Since Amu found that location with Sangle, the eagle obviously knew the way to that place.
After flying for twenty minutes, with some small hiccups of encountering nocturnal flying monsters in the night that died quickly with Rin's blades, the group arrived at the Solium Continent.
Solium Continent was the southern part of the world, approximately four thousand and five hundred kilometers south of Phoenix City.
The top 10 rankers of this continent were none other than Koshal and Amir, along with their guilds.
The region that separated the Solium continent and the Central continent was a huge desert.
"Is your place in this desert?" Erix asked as he looked at the cold desert with monsters littered at various spots.
Most of the monsters were Earth-attributed, but some annoying ones were of multiple attributes, with the most troubling being Sand-attributed monsters.
Since this desert's fluxed magic power was distributed more towards the Sand element due to the biome of this place, the monsters of Sand-attribute strong.
"There it is! Hehe, I did right by leaving a spiritual wisp when I entered last time," Amu
"Why? Did the location change?" Rin asked in surprise.
"Yeah. Their clan location was special like others, so I suspected it could travel under the ground," Amu said with a smug smile.
"Let's go then," Erix said as he extended his senses and did space mapping to capture the location and clan's structure.
But as expected, this clan also had an outer magic barrier that prevented spiritual senses from intruding.
"We are here, but can we really handle an unknown clan?" Isabella asked with slight worry.
"They should have discovered us by now," Rin said as she raised her eyebrows.
"They got a barrier, but with my space vision, I still captured their structure," Erix said, his eyes gleaming silver as he outlined and formed the 3D map according to his spiritual space vision that penetrated the barrier via Space Limbo.
Their barrier was indeed present, but only in the material plane! It couldn't stop Erix's spiritual senses, which could travel via Space Limbo thanks to his Space affinity and easily bypass it.
"Let's talk."
Erix snapped his finger and teleported everyone along with Sangle who appeared 2 kilometers deep in the earth before hitting a barrier in a sparkling sandy river.
"Wow, so pretty," Aria's eyes shone as she looked at the huge hollow cavern with waterfalls of sparkling brown and dark brown sands, rivers of sands, and…a bunch of normal animal-sized cute and colorful sand monsters.
"Such a dense area of Sand-element," Erix was surprised. "I knew this place had abundant magic power, but this is a whole system."
"These monsters are thriving off sands, but also cultivating sand powers," Rin raised her eyebrows after observing monsters and energy flow.
"Exactly," Erix nodded. "It's a whole system. If people with Sand-attribute meditate and train here, they can progress faster."
Aria and Amu were already among the cute spiritual sand elemental monsters in rivers, waterfalls, and other streams in this huge area filled with holes, pots, and passages.
But of course, this was an occupied territory.
"They are here," Erix said as he looked at the mirage barrier that fell off like sparkling sands of various brown hues.
Three powerful auras emerged, two Empyrean-order and one Royal-order.
They were not humans, but humanoids of the same height and features as humans except for their dark brown skin with golden brown patterns and two golden brown palm-sized horns.
"Humans…Natives?…finally."
The Royal-order demon was a lean-muscled young man with black hair and a red ruby on his forehead.
He seemed relieved upon seeing Erix and others rather than somber like the other two senior demons with him.
One of them was a middle-aged fat-belly demon while another was a tall bald demon looking in his sixties.
'They are Royal-order. It wouldn't be a problem even if they decided to stir trouble.'
'Let's calmly handle it, but stay sharp.'
Just as the two senior demons exchanged thoughts, Erix and Rin appeared before the trio, five meters away from them.
"What is your race called?" Erix asked with a smile.
"We are demons of Zerian bloodline! Our clan is called Rek'Lo Zerian clan, and I am the current patriarch of the clan."
The young Zerian demon eagerly said before stretching his hand. "My name is Liero."
"Erix," Erix shook his hand. "And we are indeed natives." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
'I guess this is how our first encounter with clans here goes,' Erix chuckled.
'The other two seem cautious…rather uncessorily,' Rin's pupils shrank. 'We are not threatening to them.'
Two Empyrean-order and one peak Royal-order could indeed dispatch an average big gang of Royal-order powerhouses.
Erix and others were only four Royal-order, one Royal-order monster, one unreadable Amu, and one child.
So in their eyes, Erix and others should be of no threat.
Of course, the clans that arrived on Earth had some conditions and rules to follow for a certain amount of time until their appearance.
For instance, since there wasn't any native lifeform of Earth that reached the Empyrean-order, the powerhouses of the Empyrean-order couldn't take the initiative to attack natives.
However, there was a catch.
'I think it's my fault they are becoming cautious,' Erix wryly smiled. 'I forgot to change my base intention.'
The catch was 'Intentions'. Erix held no fear towards these Empyrean-order, and his intentions were not defensive because he had the confidence to disappear and escape.
As such, only Erix was open for the attack on these two Empyrean-orders. Of course, this rule would be destroyed the moment a single native reached the Empyrean-order, but it wouldn't change the situation much. The mutual alliance was the way to progress and thrive…except this wasn't the case for this particular clan.
"We can invite you to our clan if you are sure of it, but we currently have no intention of forming alliances…for now," the elder Zerian powerhouses calmly said, adding the last words a bit unnaturally.
'W-Why?!' The young Zerian demon prince's expression changed and his fists clenched. Read new chapters at novelbuddy.com
'This is strange,' Aria frowned. 'I have a bad feeling.'
