Armipotent

This was the first time Hemlin, Forlan, and Parmes witnessed the True Dragon. They did not know the details of the battle in The Osligia Kingdom. They never saw Tang Shaoyang in the True Dragon form.

A dragon with one head was enough to terrify them, but now they saw a dragon with five heads. They never heard of a dragon with five heads, let alone seen one. It was real, they saw them with their eyes in real-time, and yet it was still hard to believe.

“What was that?” Forlan could not keep his mouth shut. He was terrified deep inside. The human thought that just a Demi-God Rank turned out to be a five-headed dragon. That explained everything, including that a strong dragon such as Avyn followed Tang Shaoyang.

Forlan and Hemlin did not know yet that the summons was a spirit. They did not know anything yet about Tang Shaoyang. All this time, they thought Tang Shaoyang had a summoner-related class.

Avyn, Zara, and the other spirits gave a glance at Forlan. Looking at him as if they were looking at an idiot. It was clearly a dragon, and yet the man still asked.

All the spirits disappeared, including the skeleton army. The army that destroyed the demon army led by Archdemon Korlon disappeared. Tang Shaoyang recalled and re-summoned them all back once they arrived in the Demon Continent.

Archdemon Korlon’s eyes locked on the thing that grabbed him. He was the one who was shocked the most. It was two dragons, but three dragons. Added to the weirdly powerful wyvern, he realized the enemy was powerful. This new enemy might be more powerful than the seven gods.

“You are awfully quiet. What’s wrong?” Korlon heard the voice booming inside his head. He recognized the voice. It was the man who asked him the stupid question earlier. The voice was deeper and rougher.

It was not a man, but a dragon. He corrected inwardly, and that dragon was heading to the Demon Continent. His mind was racing, thinking who was stronger between The Demon Sovereign and this five-headed dragon.

Before meeting this five-headed dragon, he would answer confidently that Demon Sovereign was the strongest individually. Even compared to the normal dragon. Korlon believed the Demon Sovereign was stronger than the dragon.

That belief started to waver as he could not really tell. He wanted to think Demon Sovereign was stronger, but his instinct told him otherwise.

“Tell me where the Demon Sovereign and the other Archdemons are!”

Korlon let out a laugh, but his voice could not hide what he felt right now. His voice was shaky, no longer as confident as before. Yet he still tried to be tough on the outside.

Before he could reply, something entered his head. He felt an unknown energy traveling into his system, heading toward his head. Before he could think of anything to expel the unknown energy, he felt a sharp pain inside his head.

His eyes widened and managed to hold his grunt despite the pain. But that was just the start as the pain grew stronger. It was as if his brain was getting squished.

“ARRRGGGHHH!”

Five seconds, it just took him five seconds before he screamed. He could no longer hold the pain. It was a totally different type of pain. Getting his limbs cut was less painful than what he felt right now. His body convulsed because of the pain, trying to shake off the pain. It was futile.

The pain was spreading to his eyes. He touched his eyes with his fingers. His eyes were fine, but he felt like thousands of needles pierced his eyes, both of his eyes. His scream became louder as the pain reached his horn, then to his teeth. It was to the point that all parts of his head were painful, inside and outside.

“If you are smart enough and answer me truthfully, then I will stop the pain. Tell me where the Demon Sovereign and the other four Archdemons are! Nod your head if you are ready to answer me!”

Even though the pain spread to his chest and belly. Korlon managed to hold on to the pain until it started to reach his lower part. The Archdemon Korlon gave up and nodded his head furiously.

Korlon had an undying loyalty to the Demon Sovereign. He thought he would die eventually if he chose not to reply. Twenty minutes passed, and the pain did not stop nor did he die from the pain. In that painful twenty minutes, he realized that his body was fine despite the pain. The dragon inflicted the pain without damaging his body. He did not know how, but that was what happened to him.

The choice was between eternal pain or to share the Demon Sovereign’s location. He did not think he could endure the pain for the rest of his life.

Dragon was famously known for their greed, power, and cruelty. The Dragon would not pity him and stop this suffering. His only choice was to surrender and hope the Demon Sovereign could kill the dragon.

The pain disappeared instantly as his mind cleared once more. His chest heaved up and down. His face and body were drenched in sweat. That was the only proof that he experienced the hellish experience.

“Where to go?”

The voice snapped him out, and he immediately looked around. That twenty minutes was enough to give a trauma. The only way for him not to experience the pain was to listen to the voice.

Archdemon Korlon found out that they were on the border of the Demon Continent. He saw the fortress. The fortress was small because of how high they were in the sky. It looked like a tiny village, but in fact, it was the most fortified fortress in The Demon Continent.

Korlon then pointed his finger forward, “Going straight. We just need to go straight. The Demon Citadel is in the center of the Demon Continent! It usually takes me an hour to travel…” He had not finished his words as his vision was blurred.
