Chapter 954 Stupid Move

There was an air of pride and fearlessness around the eighteen Governors as they flew.

"It's an honor to finally meet you, Barnes the Holy. Also, I would gladly fight by your side in the incoming battle."

"Sir, your name has been known to us since childhood, and everyone here has grown up looking up to you. It's a great honor to meet you today."

The Governors eagerly fawned over Barnes.

They had finally arrived to the northern part of the eighteen cities after flying nonstop for three days and nights. This was an area that they hadn't explored yet. Looking around now, there was nothing but grass and mist.

"Sir, where is the fiend hiding? Let's all work together and tear it to pieces!"

They all had stopped whatever they were doing to assist Barnes in his search for the fiend.

"Don't worry, everyone. The fiend is just hidden around here. I shall go and investigate first," Barnes said.

"Very well, sir. We'll wait for you here. Just call for us if you ever find the fiend. We'll come to your aid as fast as we can. Be careful," one of the Governors said boldly.

"Thank you very much for your offer. I shall make amends for my fault if I can find the fiend. Those four brats won't be able to bite me like mad dogs anymore." Barnes grinned, showing a set of very white teeth.

"Those four guys are too arrogant just because they consider themselves as the greatest warriors of human race. I can't stand them either," someone responded, laughing.

"I shall go now, everyone. Goodbye."

Turning into a shadow, Barnes crossed over to the desolate grassland.

After flying for over thirty thousand kilometers, he finally decided to land. A cold smile found its way onto his face.

"Master, those humans are here. Have you arranged the Blood Refining Array?" There was no one there with Barnes, so it looked like he was talking to himself.

Dark fog rose from the wilderness. It swirled and curled into the air, bringing with it a mix of the fiend's aura. It was as if a legion of fiends were headed this way.

A short moment later, the smoke turned into a horned-creature with blood-colored scales.

His eyes were icy cold and his aura was void of any feelings. It was as if he was dead and had turned into something met

e tensed as everyone was prepared for the inevitable fight to break out.

As they were all talking, Barnes had already arrived and had released his fiendish sense to watch the scene unfold.

'Stupid humans! I definitely had them fooled.' The fake Barnes smiled.

However, he now faced a dilemma. If the four powerful humans were here, he couldn't lure the rest of them to the designated place.

He knew that he wouldn't stand a chance against the combined efforts of the four holy warriors. Just thinking about the trouble he was in was giving him a headache.

However, he had to fulfill the task his master had given him. If he gave up now, he would be assimilated by his master and he wouldn't have a chance to live freely.

He hid and observed the two groups, hoping that the four greatest holy warriors would leave eventually.

Meanwhile, the humans continued with their squabble.

"Sir! So now you threaten us with death. By that, you are already betraying the human race. Don't blame us for being ruthless," another Governor said.

"Now, you will know that we, eighteen Governors, are not weak. You have betrayed the human race, so now we shall use the Betrayal Suppressing Token from the witcher ancestor to eliminate all of you!"

Indeed, the Governors not only held high statuses in the cities, but they also had some special abilities that were passed down to them. These abilities were to be used to ensure the safety of the human race and prevent acts of betrayal against them.
