Chapter 526 Royal Demon Nation

After an hour, the demon who left to inspect the forest returned and saw his companion calmly sitting on the edge of the cliff with his mount, looking at the beautiful sea sunset.

The demon also dismounted his mount and sat beside him. He commented, "At least we could see this magnificent view on this trip."

"Heh, you're right about that. Here." The 'demon' chuckled and tossed a closed wine bottle toward the demon sitting beside him.

The demon caught the crystal white bottle and was surprised when he saw the translucent blue liquid.

"Hahahaha… brother Roy, I didn't know you were hiding such a high-grade liquor. I own you one now." He laughed out loud and opened the bottle as an intoxicating fragrant drifted in the air.

Roy took out another same kind of wine bottle and opened it as well. "This view deserved such liquor. Don't you agree brother, Agared?"

Agared was a brown skin demon with fierce eyes. He looked at the setting sun, nodded, and waved his bottle in a gesture of toast, "I agree." He then gulped two mouthfuls.

Roy does the same as he looks at the sea, which looks like it was on red flam,e and drinks.

"I wonder where the sun goes at night? Do you?" Ace, who was in disguise as Roy, suddenly wondered out loud.

Agared was startled by this question and solemnly pondered, "I never thought about this. But now that you mention it, where did the sun go at night and the moon in the morning? My Old Woman used to say this is an eternal cycle of heaven."

Ace chuckled, "Eternal Cycle of Heaven? Intriguing."

He suddenly declared, "Eternal Cycle or not, but one day I'll be going to find out." It was his true feelings, his ambition.

Agared laughed while he drank a mouthful. "Hahaha, if you found out, tell me as well."

"Sure."

Ace smiled while he continued to watch the sunset with his thievish eyes.

After the sunset was over, Agared stood up. "I guess good things won't last forever, huh?" His voice was filled with lamentation.

"Indeed, we all have our parts to play." Ace also stood up as he tossed the empty bottle into the sea.

"Let's go." Agared felt his companion was somewhat different, but in a good way, so he suspected nothing.

They both left the area on their beasts and headed toward the Royal Demon Nation a few hundred miles away from this place.

The Royal Demon Nation wasn't like the outer provinces.

There weren't any cities, towns, or villages, but regions.

These regions surrounded the Imperial or Emperor Domain in the center like a defensive line.

There were six regions of the Royal Demon Nation.

Four regions were known as the Grand Demon Regions, which were under the management of four Grand Demon Duke Tribes ruled by Grand Demon Dukes of the Demon Race.

The fifth region was known as the Royal Army Region, which was under the management of the Demon Army, and controlled by the Demon Marshal.

The sixth region was titled the Demonic Academia Region, and it was under the management of four Demon Institutes.

The fifth and sixth regions have the most territories than the other four Grand Demon Regions because of their special significance.

The fifth region was the place where the nation's forces live, while the sixth region was the place where all the young demons of the Royal Demon Nations spent at least five decades of their lives learning about the world and cultivation.

Nevertheless, these six regions were the true backbone of the Almighty Demon Empire and each region control by a peak expert of the Law Awareness Realm.

These realm experts could be counted on one hand, and these were the true powerhouses of any top race, like the Demons.

The Royal Army Region was closest to the endless seaport since it oversees the safety of the royal demon nation.

The region was divided into many divisions according to the army ranks, and the rules and regulations here were absolute.

Although the demons in the army region all have a noble background, much nobler than any demon of the outer provinces because of their Sixth or Seventh Grade Bloodlines, but they still strictly followed these rules because the background didn't work here but talent!

The more talented you are, the higher the rank you'll get at your assignment.

These talents were filtered through the Demonic Academia Region by four Demon Institutes throughout their time, from admission to graduation.

As for those who were only subpar, they were sent to the high death rate divisions, like the Endless Sea Division.

Roy and Agared belong to the runic department of the Logistic Division, which was to monitor and repairs anything related to runes.

This department was specially built for rune crafters, and despite being only just field soldiers, Roy and Agared receive much better treatment than other normal soldiers.

Ace, who was now Roy, looked at the immense wall in front of him, and he couldn't even see where it ended on each side.

It was the entrance to the Royal Army Region as well as the Royal Demon Country.

As they both passed the colossal gates, Ace felt a powerful Qi brush past him. 'What a powerful scanning formation. If not for this mask, I won't even be able to enter this place like this.'

Ace's expressions were solemn. He could feel the disparity between this place and the outer continent now. He won't dare to underestimate the Royal Demon Nation.

Furthermore, he was still quite far from his goal, and he has to be extremely careful about his plan to reach there.

A burly demon clads in army armor with a soul realm aura coldly blocked Roy and Agared when they entered the gates and impassively said, "Dismount your rides and be ready for the blood test!"

Agared was baffled by this and questioned, "What blood test?"

The demon answered coldly, "This is the order from the high command. From now on, whoever leaves or enters this place will have to go through a blood test. Now, comply, or be detained!"

Ace's expression turned grave when he heard this. 'This is bad. This mask can only hide my aura, but not change my blood. They didn't rule out the royal zone for my search. They're really taking it seriously now.'

Agared frowned slightly, but he obediently dismounted his mount. He wasn't in a position where he could act as he pleased.

Ace also dismounted and followed Agared and the other demon toward a small building.

He was looking around, and there weren't many demons around the area. Only some soldiers were patrolling, and some were standing guards around the buildings.

'If I knew, I should've kept Roy's body.' He was exasperated by this sudden annoying security check. 'Well, I can't just run away or it would be too obvious. Right now, they're just being cautious with this blood test. But once they know for sure that I'm here, they'll turn their entire forces in this place.'

Ace could feel the gravity of this situation and had to admit; bullying the demon race wasn't easy. It was akin to playing with tiger whiskers.

As they entered the building, they saw a small pool filled with crystal clear water, and at the bottom of this pool were rune symbols engraved in complex patterns.

Ace saw an old demon in armor sitting cross-legged in front of this pool, and he could feel a deep, murderous aura from this Old Demon.

'Just how many people did he kill to have such a murderous aura?' Ace thought grimly.

The old demon remained static as his eyes were closed.

The burly demon who bought them here bowed and said, "Captain, I bring them for the blood test."

The old demon merely nodded his head without saying anything, with his eyes still closed.

After receiving the confirmation, the burly demon looked at Agared, who was standing right behind him, and coldly said, "Go and drip your blood on the top of the pool."

Agared obediently moved without any hesitation. He was already shocked when he saw a Captain rank figure guarding this place. It simply meant this matter was quite serious!

When Agared made a cut on his hand and blood entered the pool. The clear water suddenly turned black.

"Stun!"

The burly demon suddenly heard this mild whisper in his ear before his eyes went blank, and when he returned to his sense, everything was the same, but his expression was filled with depression, and his complexion turns pale.

"Brother, what happened to you? Why are you breathing so heavily?" Roy's concerned voice sounded, snapping him from his stupor.

He was startled and looked back at the demon with some suspicions, but when he saw his innocent expression.

'What was that just now? Could it be I was daydreaming or day nightmare?'

"Leave." At this moment, the old demon finally spoke.

Agared had a breath of relief. He was worried about a moment when he saw the black water, but it seemed it was just how this formation worked.

The burly demon took a deep breath and suppressed that strange, dark feeling. "Nothing, go. It's your turn."

Ace's lips curled up, and he nodded, "Alright!"
