Chapter 1445 The Demon (2)
Demon Continent where all demons in Aqura World lived. The continent was ruled by nine Demon Kings, five Archdemons, and The Demon Sovereign. The demon who ruled the whole continent.
Sitting on his throne, The Demon Sovereign glanced at one of the Archdemons, “Have you confirmed the information by yourself?” The dignified voice echoed in the hall, bearing pressure on the other demons in the same room.
“Yes, Demon Sovereign. My spy in the Adventurer Guild has confirmed their deaths. Not just Rubia, Seanic, and Axel, but all Seven Gods are dead!”
“On top of that, Hemlin and Forlan just announced a Grand Assembly for tomorrow. We don’t know yet why they suddenly held an assembly. But this was the best chance for us to cross to Aidan Continent. Without Burning, Zendia, and Esteven, no one could stop us from invading Aidan Continent!”
The Archdemon raised his voice in excitement. This was the chance they had been waiting for years. The seven gods had become their nightmare, the biggest obstacle for them to invade the Aidan Continent. Especially for Burning, Zendia, and Esteven. Now all of the seven gods were dead, and their dream to conquer the world was within their reach. The demon that dominated the world.
Some of the Demon Kings shared the same excitement, but Demon Sovereign showed no such enthusiasm. There was a pensive look on his face, furrowing his brow.
If the seven gods were dead, that meant something scarier than the seven gods was in the Aidan Continent. That meant they had to fight the group who killed the seven gods if the Demon wanted to conquer The Aidan Continent.
“You lead three Demon Kings as a vanguard, Korlon. I will prepare the main force, ready to assist you once you establish a footing in Aidan!” The Demon Sovereign approved the idea of crossing to the Aidan Continent even though he realized the actual problem after the seven gods.
“Yes, Your Majesty! I will repay your trust with glory for our kingdom! The era of demons has arrived!” Archdemon Korlon got up from his seat. He picked three Demon Kings and left the hall proudly.
“Is it okay to leave Korlon like that, Your Majesty? Shouldn’t we warn him?” One of the Archdemons spoke out.
Korlon might be stupid for not realizing there was a bigger threat than the seven gods. But the reason Korlon could sit with them was because of his strength. The Sixth God Rank in the Demon Kingdom, beating the other three Archdemons. That was how Korlon had a seat with them right now.
The Demon Kingdom had six God Ranks, The Demon Sovereign, and the five Archdemons. The Nine Demon Kings were the strongest Demi-God Ranks in the Demon Continent.
Each Demon Kingdom governed a large territory with Archdemons and a Demon Sovereign above them. Several Demon Kings attempted to reach God-Rank, but many of them died trying.
The four Archdemons in the hall knew that The Demon Sovereign sent Korlon to test the water. If Korlon breached into the Aidan Continent without much resistance, then They might as well send the full force to take the center of the world from humans.
“Then do you want to replace Korlon? Or do you want to help him? You can go and help Korlon. I will not prevent you from doing so.”
The response silenced the Archdemon.
“What Korlon said is right. This is the chance we have been waiting for years. We have to send someone to try before more God Ranks arise. He volunteers himself because of his loyalty to me, while my other aides are thinking for their own safety!”
The four Archdemons kept their silence while the six Demon Kings just realized that Archdemon Korlon was just bait.
“Prepare yourself for a war. We will wait for a report from Korlon!”

Forlan and Hemlin were holding the Grand Assembly in the Adventurer Guild’s main branch. They planned it three days after the battle against the seven gods. However, Hemlin pushed the Grand Assembly ahead after Tang Shaoyang notified them that he left Aqura.
Tang Shaoyang left with Lunea along with The Temple of Light and also The Osligia Kingdom. That was the thing they did not know.
Forlan and Hemlin were not aware that Lunea had formed a relationship with Tang Shaoyang. The two were so curious about Tang Shaoyang’s world. That was why they pushed the Grand Assembly forward.
The news that the Adventurer Guild would be under the Tang Empire’s authority was not received well by the Guild Leaders. The main reason for them to join the Adventurer Guild was for freedom. They were about to lose that freedom they fought for.
Despite explaining how The Adventurer Guild was on the brink of destruction. They still could not accept it. It was much harder than Hemlin thought to convince them that they made the right decision by joining The Tang Empire.
The supposed one-day Grand Assembly was extended by another day. It was hard to convince them because these Guild Leaders had not yet witnessed Avyn fight Forlan. How the seven gods were killed with ease. Despite explaining those things, they were not easily convinced. Words were not enough to convince them.
But of course, more than half expressed their opinion to follow him and Forlan’s decision. That was a good thing. Hemlin just needed to convince the remaining Guild Leaders the following day.
For the following day, Parmes would join them. Hemlin’s disciple, the third God Rank in the Adventurer Guild, and First Cardinal. The mission to root the Radiant Temple was over with the death of the seven gods. Parmes who had experienced fighting Tang Shaoyang should be able to convince the remaining Guild Leaders.
Hemlin threw himself on the couch, sprawled on the couch, “This is more exhausting than farming!” Talking for a few hours, and trying many things to convince the Guild Leaders was more exhausting than farming. In fact, farming was not exhausting at all. It gave him a peace of mind instead.
“We are wasting our time, Hemlin! If they disagree with our decision then they can leave the Adventurer Guild!” Forlan preferred the forceful approach.
Hemlin shook his head and was about to say something until the door was slammed open. The two looked at the door as Parmes barged into the room, panic-stricken.
The already displeased Forlan furrowed his brow and was about to lash out. But Hemlin was familiar with his disciple. There was an emergency for Parmes to act like this.
“What’s wrong, Parmes?”
“The Demon! The demon is attacking The Artorakh Kingdom! They send a messenger to the guild, asking for assistance! The Archdemon Korlon is leading the demon army with two Demon Kings!”
