1000 Years Later, Even My Weakest Follower Has Become A Demon King

196 Obliteration (1)

Hobbs felt that his train of thought had short-circuited.

That’s right. Under the cloudless sky ten thousand miles in front of the mist, it was indeed very strange for a black dragon to suddenly appear without any warning. Moreover, after it appeared, it didn’t attack the Whalebone that was closer to it. Instead, it immediately went for the empire warship. Hobbs found it particularly peculiar.

But you’re saying that this black dragon was summoned by this Elementium Silver smuggling merchant? How is that possible?

Even if this man who called himself Ishmael was indeed a powerful magic chanter, he could not reach this realm. Dragons were the holiest symbol of the Empire. Ever since Terra I, no one was qualified to sign a summoning contract with them.

!!

Even the strongest magic chanter now couldn’t summon a dragon to fight for him. Even if he could… was there a need to use such an overwhelming force to deal with an empire warship?

However, before he could continue asking, Morton—who was standing opposite him—said,

“True Shadow is a taboo spell that can temporarily turn the illusionary shadow in the caster’s mind into reality. Once an illusionist from Blackwater Arcana University, Violet Grant analyzed the Divine Realm illusion created by the Holy Spirit’s manifestation. As for this spell, it was made heresy by the Holy Spirits Church in the Book Burning Era. All records were destroyed, and only a dungeon was left in the Eighth Order… Later on, it became a method they used to deceive others and create so-called divinity manifestations.”

He raised his sword and pointed it at William as if victory was in his grasp.

“Other than the Eighth Order’s lackeys, who else can use this spell?”

When Hobbs heard this, he turned to look at William and asked, “Is what he said true?”

William didn’t answer Hobbes’s question, nor did he care about the other party’s puzzled and terrified gaze.

He looked at the Phoenix Fire City Lord in front of him who seemed capable of stabbing him at any moment and said with a calm expression, “If you’re really the Warrior Captain of Ava State, put down your arms and let’s have a good chat.”

As he spoke, he took half a step forward.

The other party’s expression turned solemn as he raised the sword in his hand slightly.

“Stay where you are.”

“To be precise, a chat between just the two of us.” William ignored the other party and continued speaking.

“Try taking another step forward?”

A few golden elven inscriptions lit up on the blood-red sword in Morton’s hand, and faint golden flames began to cling to the sword.

William stopped in his tracks.

High Elven Spellblades were completely different from human Spellblades. Spellblades were a different form of magical medium. Compared to Warriors, their role was more similar to that of a human Battle Mage.

“I have to say, the stories you made up are quite interesting. A Ranger traveling the continent on an adventure… Why don’t you tell me which Ranger it is?”

William stopped in his tracks and sneered.

“That’s what I wanted to talk to you about alone,” William replied helplessly.

He looked around and continued, “In any case, I can’t escape now. We’re surrounded in your territory, and there are so many people here as hostages,”

“Ishmael, you…”

Hobbs couldn’t help but open his mouth slightly when he heard the word ‘hostage,’ but he looked at the unsheathed swords around him and finally shut up.

“What’s there to talk about? And why can’t we do it here?”

Morton frowned, not sure what the other party’s plan was.

William couldn’t help but sigh.

He didn’t want to reveal his true identity here.

It wasn’t that he was too cautious, but he couldn’t let the Void Sovereigns know that more than half of his attention was in Ava State. Otherwise, They would project Their strength near Blackwater Swamp, causing him trouble.

Previously, when he was still in the Blackwater Swamp, the other party had used a summoning day to summon Demon General Erosion. It would be terrible if they knew that more than half of his attention was in Ava State.

There was too little information about Ava State that Thorn City could gather. William didn’t know if the Void Sovereigns had developed their factions here or if they had planted spies. Therefore, not only did he change his appearance and hide his identity, but he didn’t rely on Thorn City’s official channels. Instead, he commissioned Whalebone for his trip to Ava State via the black market.

William wasn’t betting that there were no Moon Realm spies nearby if he had to publicize his identity here.

William didn’t want to reveal his identity to this fellow who seemed to support Remides fanatically. Other than Remides herself, he didn’t want to trust anyone else.

After what happened to Coles, William was wary of Remides before coming here.

William retreated helplessly and said, “Alright, alright. Let’s not talk about it if you don’t want to… What do you plan on doing with us next?”

The other party snorted softly and first pointed his sword at Hobbs and the crew and sailors around him.
