Chapter 1351 True intentions of the Lord of the Water
’…’
King Stephen was speechless at his master’s words; however, he nodded his head and thought about what kind of opportunities he could use from the ongoing demon invasion.
’What kind of opportunity are you talking about, Master?’
King Stephen thought about his master’s words for a while; however, he was unable to think of how to use the demon invasion as an opportunity.
So, he could only ask his master about it as he didn’t want to waste any more time, fearing that he might lose that opportunity.
’You remember what I said about the ‘Patriarch of the nightmares’ having connections to the demon race, right?’
’Yes, master.’
King Stephen nodded his head as he clearly remembered it.
’If my guess is right, the demons are not planning to destroy the Purple stone world; instead, they are trying to conquer the world.’
’Huh?’
Hearing his master’s words, King Stephen raised his brows for a moment before replying, ‘Don’t tell me, they are planning to turn the residents of the Purple stone world into slaves?’
Even though King Stephen seemed like he was asking a question, he understood what his master meant by conquering the Purple stone world.
Actually, it was very common for the winners of the war to turn the losers into their slaves; however, the demons have never done that as they just want to destroy everything relating to humans including humans.
’Correct. If my guess is right, that ancestor will use the demon invasion to make the Assassin sect the number one powerhouse in the Purple stone. So, all you have to do is become his subordinate.’
’What? Are you asking me to become someone’s subordinate? What’s more, it is someone who is going to betray the human race.’
King Stephen looked at Cain who was fighting the demons in the distance as he retorted against his master.
Even though King Stephen sought after the power, somewhere in his heart, he felt he could betray the entire human race. So, he retorted against his master without any hesitation.
’Fine. It is your life to do whatever you want to do. If you become close with ‘Ancestor’, you will become the emperor of the Purple stone world in less than 10 years.’
’Do you think your ancestors will stay in the Purple stone world forever? He always wanted to enter a greater world and own that greater world.’
’So, if you help him in taking over the Purple stone world, he will leave the Purple stone world in your hands. Later, you can pursue the greater worlds just like him.’

Lord of the water continued to say one thing after another and used all the weaknesses of King Stephen to change his mind.
’Right. As long as I become the emperor of the Purple stone world, who cares about the method I choose?’
Lord of the water was known for his controlling skills. As long as someone speaks to him for a while, he could make others change their decisions and completely believe that they made the right choice.
So, it didn’t take much time for him to make King Stephen change his decision regarding becoming the subordinate of the ‘Patriarch of nightmares’.
’Good. I already informed ‘Ancestor’ regarding your decision. So, don’t worry about it as he will inform you what you have to do from now on.’
Lord of the water was confident in his skills. So, he had already made a deal with the ‘Patriarch of the Nightmares’ when they met earlier.
’Thank you, master. Once I become the emperor of the Purple stone world, I will help you in recovering your body.’
King Stephen absolutely didn’t have any idea that he was being manipulated by his so-called master. Instead, he was happy and excited about his future after a decade.
Moreover, he was continuously thanking his master and promised to help him recover his body.
’What a fool! Before you can notice what’s happening to you, I will take full control of your body. So, there is no need for you to trouble yourself.’
Lord of the water laughed at King Stephen’s foolishness as he thought about his real intentions.
’Also, be careful when you receive orders from him and don’t follow blindly.’
Nevertheless, he didn’t forget to warn King Stephen regarding the ‘Patriarch of the Nightmares’, because if King Stephen was killed, all his effort over the past 15 years would be wasted for nothing.
’Don’t worry about me, master. You know how cautious I will be regarding things like these, right?’
With a proud look on his face, King Stephen replied to his master in his head, making the Lord of the world laugh at his disciple’s foolishness.
’Right! You are so cautious that it took me a total of five years to make you believe me.’
Those five years are the worst time for the Lord of the water who met the foolish young boy who didn’t have much talent and wasted his time in the royal burial ground.
Initially, Lord of the water wanted to use someone else; however, except for Stephen who was in his twenties, wh regularly visited the royal graveyard, others rarely visited it.
So, he could not waste any time and decided to use Stephen to reach his goals.
”Everyone, it is time for you to join the battle.”
On the stage, Elder Boron, who was enjoying the fight between the demons and the 15 participants, all of a sudden, stood up from his chair and shouted out loud.
”King realm demons are coming out of the portal. Kill them all.”
Following Elder Boron’s words, the three protectors of the Purple stone world also stood up and shouted out loud when they saw the demon kings rushing out of the portal.
