Chapter 514- War

Chapter 514- War

Confident in his abilities, the Emperor of the Metal Empire believed that no one was stronger than him among all the remaining human emperors.

He had already reached the peak of Transcendental Being and was waiting for the reward of the demon lord to break through to Celestial Immortal.

He even offered to become a demon lord as long as he defeated the 10th rank demon lord of Wrath.

Aware of the challenge of defeating a demon lord, he had been given thousands of years to prepare after finishing his trial.

If he failed, he would become like the demon in front of him, forever a lackey of Irethane.

Witnessing the power of demons and the intimidating strength of Irethane made him feel uneasy every time he faced him.

Although Irethane was ranked 9th, his power could match those of higher ranks, and he seemed indifferent to increasing his rank.

The Emperor was initially shocked to learn that a human could reach such power by accepting the power of demons, so didn't hesitate to betray the human race for such an opportunity, much like Irethane had done.

The demon looked at him seriously and bid his farewell.

"Very well, remember, if you fail, you die."

Swoosh!

The demon disappeared instantly, and the Emperor clenched his fist, mumbling to himself.

'Be arrogant for now, I will kill you and that Irethane if I become a demon lord.'

Even though he betrayed the human race and sided with the demons, he still bore a grudge against Demon Lord Irethane.

To become his lackey, Irethane told him to offer his wife and watch her be savaged by demons.

If he showed any anger, he would fail and be killed as well. He was angry, but he had no choice.

This plan seems risky because they could be ambushed and outnumbered by the remaining two regions. However, those two regions would face an even more terrifying enemy than the eastern and southern regions.

Xegron will face the Dukes of the Western region alone, with a command from Dave to kill everyone who does not surrender and spare those who do.

Xegron's power is strong, surpassing that of 50 soul flowers, and he used to act alone.

Unlike Kirito, who likes to use intelligence in fights, Xegron prefers brute force to solve every problem.

As for the demons, Xegron was told to kill and devour them, or if he preferred, he could make them undead under his troops.

Xegron's undead legion only numbers around 50,000 because he does not choose to make weaker ones undead, only selecting strong combatants.

All of the 50,000 undead are with Kirito because Xegron prefers to act alone and can create an undead army on his way to massacre the Western Region.

As for the Northern Region, Dave will personally lead his way there, as the castle, where the Emperor is located, is situated in that region.

First, Kirito suggested attacking the northern region with all of the troops, but Dave told him that he would take care of the Emperor personally.

Kirito didn't reject this because he already knew how strong his master was.

Dave must have had some arrangement, but he didn't tell Kirito about it.

With 100 soul flowers, Dave believed that he could even kill Celestial Immortals.

This thought was crazy because Celestial Immortals are different from Transcendental beings.

A Transcendental being is considered to be the limit of mortality in the Celestial Plane. Beyond that, one can be considered a real immortal being when they reach Celestial Immortality.

Celestial Immortals have an almost exhaustible lifespan and possess characteristics that Transcendental beings do not have, such as Divine Power.

Yes, Divine Power. Being a Celestial Immortal means one is now on the path to godhood, and Celestial Immortals are divided into many stages: Demi-God, Lower God, Mid God, High God, and True God.

Dave will be accompanied by Draco as well, who will serve as his mount because Dave is too lazy to fly to the Northern Region.

The Northern region has fewer armies than the other regions, but based on the intel Xegron managed to acquire, it is full of demons blending in with civilians, and there are many strong combatants there.
