Chapter 581
"A Zerg…?" Harata choked out, his voice trembling. "Impossible!"
Zergs were natural enemies to the Phantom Demons, capable of devouring even their elusive souls.
And Xegron, by the look of him, was no ordinary Zerg—he was clearly of royal blood.
"No!"
Harata gasped, but he was helpless to stop what happened next.
Without hesitation, Xegron opened his mouth, stretching it impossibly wide, and swallowed Harata whole in a single, swift movement.
The entire arena watched in stunned silence as the Arch Demon was devoured.
Realizing their leader was gone, the remaining demons turned and fled toward the portal, hoping to escape.
But Xegron wasn't finished. Without a second thought, he charged after them, tearing through their ranks with merciless efficiency.
Dave watched the scene with a satisfied smile. Xegron's power was terrifying, and as his loyal guard, he seemed to only grow stronger with each battle.
Seeing their commander killed in an instant, the demons turned and fled back through the portal.
They were filled with true terror at Xegron's brutal display of power. Without a hint of emotion, he even chewed on the flesh of Konrad, showing just how merciless he could be.
Dave watched with a smile, knowing that Xegron was like an incarnation of evil, capable of devouring anything in his path.
Created through Dave's dark magic, Xegron had started to evolve into an even more perfect being.
He possessed physical strength that rivaled the Titans, making him an unstoppable force.
He was practically undying, filled with an immense amount of mana that could match that of dragons.
Despite his great power, Xegron did have one weakness: his intelligence. In terms of sheer physical strength, he surpassed Ronin, who was Dave's strongest subordinate.
However, if they were to fight one-on-one, Xegron would likely be defeated. Ronin had a wealth of experience in battle techniques and was a skilled killer.
Xegron bowed respectfully to Dave before rushing towards the portal again, eager to continue his pursuit of the escaping demons.
He seemed restless, not yet satisfied with the chaos he had caused. Dave let out a laugh, enjoying the sight of Xegron's rampage.
As he observed the portal, Dave realized it connected to the Abyss, but he didn't worry about Xegron's safety.
He knew that as long as he was alive, Xegron would remain immortal.
The demons were simply unlucky to have encountered Xegron, who possessed the powers of the Sin of Gluttony, allowing him to devour anything he desired.
After watching the last of the demons flee through the portal, Dave waved his hands and destroyed the portal with a simple gesture.
He clapped his hands, turning to face the shocked crowd around him. "Well, that was easy, right?" he said cheerfully.
His smile was friendly, yet to everyone else, he appeared more terrifying than any demon.
"So strong!" one of the onlookers gasped.
The others began to realize that even Dave's subordinate alone was powerful enough to defeat the demons.
This made them acutely aware of just how fearsome Dave was to be able to control such a monster.
Suddenly, the Wizard Kings started receiving urgent messages. Their kingdoms were being attacked by demons.
"Oh no!"
Sarah cried out in panic. The Aquaria continent was under siege, with demons destroying the protective barrier around it.
While everyone else was in a state of alarm, Dave calmly assessed the situation.
He understood that the demons' plan must have been to stall time while they attacked other kingdoms.
"Alright, girls," Dave said, calling to Hannah and Caryll.
"It's time to move and show the results of your training."
"Master, let me kill the demons!"
Caryll shouted, her excitement bubbling over. "I'll show you how powerful I really am!"
Sarah, who was starting to panic, felt a wave of calm wash over her as she looked at Dave.
She realized that as long as he was around, nothing terrible would happen.
It was then she recognized her growing dependence on him.
"Teleport us there!" she urged, feeling a sense of urgency.
Dave smiled confidently. "Very well," he replied, ready to act.
"Uhmm. We want to help too."
Reizel, Joaquin, and the other princes volunteered, expressing their desire to assist in protecting the Aquaria continent.
"Oh, then good luck."
Dave waved his hands, and they disappeared on the spot.
He teleported them to the Aquaria continent while he remained behind. As for their safety? He wasn't worried at all.
After all, he had marked Caryll and Hannah, and if they encountered a stronger opponent they couldn't handle, he could reach them easily.
"Lord Dave, please assist us."
Suddenly, the Wizard King of the Mist Continent approached Dave and requested his help.
Right now, their continent was suffering from an attack by an army of demons, and he knew they could not repel it.
Just then, he received news from his subordinates that many of their defenses had been breached and that the demons were stronger than any they had faced before.
The Mist King realized he couldn't travel instantly, but he had seen how Dave sent the Wizard King of the Aquaria Continent away.
"Oh? Why would I do that? You still owe me a favor."
Dave smiled, maintaining a calm demeanor as he looked at him.
"Please help my continent. I beg you; I will do anything."
The Mist King knelt in front of Dave, a gesture that stunned him and the remaining Wizard Kings.
"Oh? How about becoming my slave?"
Dave's demeanor was akin to a devil seeking benefits from a situation, and helping them without an equivalent exchange wasn't in his vocabulary.
"What?"
The Mist King was taken aback, but he knew from his subordinates that the enemy was strong; many of his best fighters had already been killed, and in just ten minutes, thousands had perished.
He was in despair and didn't want his people to suffer.
"Okay, I agree, but please help me defend my continent."
He felt he had no choice; he was in despair right now. If Dave intervened, perhaps his continent wouldn't perish.
"Are you crazy?"
Eruda, the Wizard King of the Steel Continent, was also panicking and couldn't help but shout at the Mist King for his foolishness.
"I don't have a choice; the enemy is strong, and I admit my weakness in defending my people."
"I would rather be a slave than see my people die at the hands of demons."
His response made Dave reevaluate his perception of this Wizard King.
"Hoho, I like your resolution. Worry not; from now on, you are under me, and I'll help your continent."
The Wizard King of the Mist Continent bowed, sighing in relief.
Dave flicked his fingers, and a clone that shared 20 percent of his power appeared, placing a hand on the Mist King's shoulder.
<Memory search> Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Suddenly, an image of the Mist Continent appeared in the mind of his clone.
"Let's go."
The Mist King had no idea that his memories had been searched by the clone. He couldn't teleport to a place he hadn't visited before, so he needed to tap into his memories.
Swoosh!
They disappeared in an instant, teleporting to the Mist Continent.
