Chapter 719: There's another human with him!
Damien, the first shadow general who had just arrived on planet Eadmire, gazed darkly at the gruesome sight before him. Behind him, the demons who had contacted him, along with many other powerful residents of the planet, floated with pale faces.
The area before them was covered in shattered fragments of ice that shimmered ominously in the darkness. Frost-covered corpses of demons littered the land.
Damien's azure eyes burned with pure rage as he turned around and slapped one of the supreme-rank demons behind him, sending the man hurling toward the ground.
"You useless fools! You couldn't restrain a single human until I arrived!"
His booming voice thundered, causing every demon around him to tremble. He was already occupied, but now he had to deal with this mess as well! Rubbing his temples, he took a second to calm down and gestured for a demon to approach.
The woman trembled under his intense gaze but flew closer to him. She was one of the demons who had disappeared from the area to contact the shadow generals.
Damien gazed at her, and she bowed her upper body and closed her eyes.
"Why was he here?"
The woman parted her lips; her voice was shaky, but she managed to speak.
"He... said he wanted the fifth shadow general's whereabouts..."
Damien's gaze narrowed.
"Onicuss's whereabouts? Why?"
The woman shook her head.
"I don't know... the human said he was only here to get Onicuss's whereabouts and that he would leave once he got it... since he has left, that means..."
She didn't need to finish her sentence, as the first shadow general understood what she was trying to convey. Damien snapped his head toward another supreme-rank demon in the distance.
"Where is Onicuss currently?"
The demon quickly moved toward him.
"Its planet Aethstria! The fifth shadow general always goes there to rest or heal his injuries whenever he is tired from the war! That planet is concealed under a blanket but he can only be there!"
Damien mumbled the name of planet Aethstria. He knew about this planet. It was conquered by Onicuss after he killed one of the strongest demi-humans.
However, what he didn't understand was why the hell Kyle was suddenly searching for Onicuss. He furrowed his brows.
'It's good that Enthrall, who was supposed to come here, went to meet Ceano. It would have been catastrophic if that human had uncovered our plan and interfered with it.'
An ominous aura began to emanate from his body, and the dark five-petal flower on his shoulder glowed as he contacted the fifth shadow general through the link shared by all the shadow generals.
There was silence for a while before the first shadow general's voice echoed again in his mind, this time with an angry snarl.
'I am coming there myself; this time, I will put an end to Kyle at all costs. So, leave the planet and don't risk doing something you would regret. You may be strong, but given that Kyle has killed Will, you aren't powerful enough to confront that human.'
Onicuss clenched his fists, feeling the weight of Damien's words.
'I will do as you say.'
The flower on the back of his hand lost its glow, and he let out a sneer. He was furious-very furious that Damien had called him weaker than a human who he had heard was only at the
Transcendent rank.
But he wasn't an idiot. If Kyle had the strength to kill the third shadow general, then that human could harm him as well.
"What the hell? Why is there never any peace in my life? Let's just go and join the war... I need to shed a lot of blood to improve my foul mood."
He had just risen from his throne when suddenly everything around him began to tremble violently as if an earthquake had struck the planet.
"!?"
Onicuss raised his gaze as the twin divine-rank demons clad in dark robes rushed into his chamber, not even asking for permission to enter, their expressions filled with panic. The two demons stumbled over their words as they tried to convey their message.
"Master, the traps... the traps we set up around the planet have failed!!!"
"James... James has entered the boundary of the planet unscathed!"
Onicuss's eyes widened.
"What? That's not possible! His soul isn't strong enough to pass through the traps!"
The twin demons fell to their knees as Onicuss's formidable dark aura erupted from his body. They quaked in fear but still managed to speak again.
"There's another human with him!"
"Yes! That human tore through the barrier around the planet with his bare hands and even
faced all the attacks unscathed!"
Onicuss stumbled back. Another human? Immediately, the conversation he had with Damien a while ago and the name of the nature's favorite flashed in his mind.
But how did he arrive here so soon...? His eyes widened when he remembered what nature's
favorite was capable of.
"Ah... he can create teleportation portals! He didn't just discover my location; he also got the coordinates of this planet to come here directly! Damien, you bastard! You didn't tell me he would arrive here so soon!"
