Using the hidden magic gem to cover his trace, Chris advanced slowly.

The compass pointed precisely at a burning bonfire, next to which stood a hunched-over wizard and a tall demon.

The demon was easily recognizable with sharp claws on both hands, hooves for feet, a pair of wings on its back, and the typical demonic horns on its head.

Its face was pale, and it seemed to have stitched lines between its lips, keeping them shut. Every time it spoke, black lines connected its lips, as if to keep it from opening its mouth.

Chris, who has just finished venting and is in a state of refreshment, applied the reconnaissance function from the Conqueror Store to the two targets, spending 1.000 CP.

He obtained some general information, and this type of point-based investigation couldn't be noticed by the other party, making it very safe but a bit costly.

"Dread Overlord: A wise being from the dimension of Hell, always belonging to the upper echelons. These demon envoys are incredibly cunning and use human weaknesses to persuade others. Beware of their lies as they won't remain loyal. Only powerful forces can temporarily subdue them, but they will inevitably turn against their captors. The first live capture of a Dread Overlord rewards 50.000 CP. Note: Dead Dread Overlords automatically return to the dimension of Hell to await rebirth, and they remember their killers, seeking revenge upon resurrection!"

Chris raised an eyebrow after reading this description. It seemed that these cunning demons needed to be captured alive since not even their corpses could be remained after they're dead.

He needed to find a foolproof way to deal with them, not exposing himself, as no one wanted a madman bearing a grudge.

Chris remained calm and patiently awaited an opportunity, meditating cross-legged to sharpen his magical power limit.

Twenty minutes later, it seemed that the Dread Overlord had finished crafting the alchemical concoction. The potion had transformed into a bottle of pale purple liquid, emitting a somewhat sinister aura.

"Ice Storm!" Chris seized the moment he had been waiting for and immediately unleashed his ultimate move.

BOOM!!!

A wave of freezing air swept through, and the Dread Overlord, caught off guard, froze in place.

However, in the next second, the frozen Dread Overlord turned to ashes and re-appeared not far away, seemingly employing some sort of substitution technique to escape the fate.

Undeterred, Chris continued to suppress the Dread Overlord with frost magic, overwhelming him with a deluge of ice and snow, leaving him unable to dodge.

The infuriated Dread Overlord remained unaware of who was attacking him.

Driven by his cunning instinct, he swiftly opened a teleportation portal, attempting to flee.
