Armipotent

The Demon Sovereign, The Archdemon, and The Demon Kings had not left the meeting hall ever since Korlon left them. They were waiting for a report from Korlon before deciding their next course of action.

Korlon managed to gain a footing without an issue in Aidan Continent. The Demon Army under the Demon Sovereign would depart to start their dream campaign to take over the Aidan Continent. They had been waiting for a day without leaving. No one dared to leave because The Demon Sovereign ordered them to stay. Without Demon Sovereign’s words, no one got up from the chair.

“What took him so long for an update? It’s so unusual…” The Demon Sovereign muttered, frowning.

They had several reports in the course of fifteen hours. But Korlon had not sent any report in the last five hours. The last report was that the surrounding kingdoms surrounded Korlon’s army. Ever since Korlon had not sent them any more reports.

The thought that Korlon died crossed his mind. He immediately threw the thought because he ordered Korlon to return if he met someone stronger than him. Korlon might lose in a fight, but if Korlon made up his mind to run. Then Korlon should be able to make his escape even if seven gods came for him.

The Demon Sovereign felt ominous as the uneasiness grew. His index finger started to tap the stone table in rhythm. The tapping sound was getting louder as the time went by. In just a few minutes, a hole the size of a finger formed.

The Demon Sovereign did not realize that he was spreading the uneasiness. The fact that he acted like that made the four Archdemons and the eight Demon Kings feel uneasy as well. No one dared to talk or even tried to comfort the Demon Sovereign.

They looked at the dark expression on The Demon Sovereign. No one was stupid enough to speak when The Demon Sovereign had that expression.

Roar!

The thundering roar resounded from outside. The demons exchanged glances while the Demon Sovereign looked up. Without saying anything, the Demon Sovereign rushed out.

The four Archdemons and the eight Demon Kings exchanged glances. The roar was not something they were familiar with. Not something from the Demon Continent.

“What was that?” One of the Demon Kings broke the silence with the question.

One Archdemon got up from the chair, “We will soon find out! You guys better get your ass moving if you want to keep your head!”

It sounded harsh, but he spoke for their sake. He once saw a similar expression from the Demon Sovereign. That day, they had to look for two Archdemon’s replacements as well as six Demon King’s replacements.

Tang Shaoyang roared to announce his arrival. Not because he liked to show off or anything. He wanted to lure the Demon Sovereign out quickly.

That worked well as a figure flew from the majestic castle on the hill. There was no need for him to ask for confirmation from Korlon. He immediately figured out that this one was the Demon Sovereign from the aura.

“Who dares to make a ruckus in my territory!?” The charismatic voice resounded in the air, followed by the natural pressure.

Tang Shaoyang felt the tingle of the pressure, but there was nothing much to it. He scanned the demon who looked similar to a human if not for his horns and dark-purple skin. The Demon Sovereign reminded Tang Shaoyang of the Clown God.

“Your leader is blind, huh? He can’t see me despite my size,” Tang Shaoyang chuckled in a mocking tone. He spoke to the limbless Korlon who had a guilty expression.

Archdemon Korlon lowered his gaze, not willing to meet the Demon Sovereign’s gaze out of guilt. He had betrayed The Demon Sovereign, and he did not deserve the mercy. He felt like it was much better if the dragon killed him right now.

Tang Shaoyang perceived the Archdemon’s sentiment through his Dragon Sense. The feeling of wanting to die, accepting death.

“You want me to kill you? No! I will keep you alive and have you witness how I destroy your kingdom. Just like how you slaughter those children!”

“Why a dragon siding with a human!?” The Demon Sovereign questioned the five-headed dragon.

From those two sentences from the dragon. He found out why the dragon was there. It seemed like what his subordinate, Archdemon Korlon did, angered the dragon. But why? He could not understand why the dragon was angry with the human? That did not make sense to him.

The dragon was prideful and looked at the others just like pesky pests. Especially for humans, and yet this dragon was angry over a human to the point of wanting to destroy the demon. This was not normal behavior for a dragon.

The Demon Sovereign’s curiosity was not answered as a black fire came after him. The five-headed dragon clearly did not have an interest in talking.

The fire was something so easy for The Demon Sovereign to dodge. His figure blurred, escaping from the range of the black fire. But then he lost sight of the massive dragon. That caught him off guard. How could his eyes fail to catch the dragon’s movement?

It took him a moment to realize there was a massive shadow hovering above him. The moment he realized it, it was the moment he felt an immense pain in his back.

Boom!

The Demon Sovereign crashed into the building. Then it was followed by the Dark Lightning falling on where the Demon Sovereign was. The dark lightning spread out, destroying the surrounding buildings as well as killing the surrounding demons.

Tang Shaoyang did not stop there as he followed with dozens of black fireballs, raining down on The Demon Citadel. It did not take long for Tang Shaoyang to destroy The Citadel. Just like how Archdemon Korlon did to the Artorakh Kingdom.

The black fire spread, burning the buildings. The black smoke floated above The Citadel followed by the screams from the affected demons.
