Chapter 679 Not For Long
The Demon Lord was a fearsome and powerful being who had established the Behemoth's Pillar, the united organization within the Abyss Realm that aims to conquer other realms for a specific purpose.
He had a height of about seven feet and a weight of about three hundred pounds. He had a muscular and imposing body covered with black scales and spikes.
He only had a pair of horns on his head, but it was the darkest it could ever be.
On his back was a pair of wings and a tail behind him. He also had a pair of red eyes that glowed with malice and intelligence.
As a Demon Lord, he wore a dark cloak and armor and carried a sword and a scepter that was fitting to his title. He was the ruler of the Abyss Realm and the leader of the Demon Saints.
He was the enemy of the Immortals, and the nemesis of the human world.
Although Zane and Zara had met him many times, they still couldn't help but feel nervous whenever they met him.
They had always been awed and terrified by his presence and his power. Nonetheless, they had sworn their allegiance and their obedience to him, and they had received his mark and his blessing.
They then activated their communication devices and contacted the Demon Lord.
They told him everything that had happened and showed him the information and images that they had collected. They hoped that he would be pleased and reward them.
Then, they also expressed their gratitude.
"Demon Lord, thank you for saving us from those creatures..."
The Demon Lord listened to them and looked at the information and images.
He had a better look at the barriers used in the castle, the automaton, the golems, the Demihumans, the strange Artifact, and the castle itself that had a faint trace of Dragon. It wouldn't be surprising if the castle had several Dragon Cores, powering its defense.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
He was obviously surprised and intrigued by what they had found.
"Well done, Zane and Zara. You have done a good job. You have brought me valuable information. You needed to be rewarded."
After confirming that the Castle truly had traces of Dragons, the Demon Lord smiled and laughed. He said...
"The game is on, Immortal."

After some time, Vale came back to the castle and found out what had happened.
First of all, he was grateful that no one was killed, and they drove away the Demon Saints. It was quite remarkable of them to do that without an Immortal's help.
But, what amazed Vale the most was that Faith could actually use the Temporal Timepiece!
Even though it consumed vitality to operate, it still worked!
Moreover, since she was not the owner of the Timepiece, she was only tapping into its potential, and she hadn't fully revealed its true power!
Vale wanted to see Faith and talk to her about the Temporal Timepiece. He was curious and excited about its abilities and secrets.
He wondered if he could use it too, and if he could learn more about this Temporal Timepiece.
Since it was one of the three items of the Paragons, he thought that it might be a crucial item against the Abyss Realm's invasion.
He then went to Faith's room, where he found her resting on her bed.
She looked pale and tired, but she also looked happy and proud... She had a smile on her face while holding the Temporal Timepiece on her wrist.
As she saw Vale entering her room, she greeted him warmly.
"Hello, Vale. I'm glad you're back. How was your mission?" Faith asked.
On the other hand, Vale clenched his fist as he saw her body turning ethereal.
