Chapter 426 Quartering the Lands

Chapter 426 Quartering the Lands

The discussion didn't last that long, since I was basically telling them what they already knew. The only problem left to discuss is how to split up the areas for each of them.

In the end, we went with Zeshion to the south, Vermeil to the west, Blanc to the north, and Ajax to the east.

The lands within their respective Sanctuaries were split up like a pie, sliced into quarters with two diagonals. With that, four almost equal zones were created.

What? What about mine?

I didn't bother to select somewhere to use my Sanctuary and decided to save it for later. After all, it's bothersome to move your set location to a different one later.

Anyway, after setting their boundaries, the four God Tamers quickly activated their Sanctuaries. Fortunately, the function doesn't automatically select an area and instead requires the tamer to manually select the land they want to be included under their control.

Due to this way of splitting their territories, Heaven's Republic ended up getting split into four sanctuaries at the same time. Other lucky kingdoms were divided into two sanctuaries at most.

After the setup was complete, each one of them quickly modified their land to make it a lot easier to defend.

For example, Zeshion created a complex landscape heading further south in an attempt to make it harder for the demons to pass through. Ajax added a forest ahead of his territory. Vermeil created deep cliffs whose bottom couldn't be seen and spread them all over the place. Lastly, Blanc simply created a steep, solid metal mountain range ahead of her land and forced the demons to go either toward Ajax or Vermeil's areas.

"..."

Well, it's true that Blanc isn't fit for direct battles, but... Her method looked the nastiest among the four of them. She's basically dumping most of the work onto the two beside her!

"Anyway, with this, our defenses should be strengthened greatly."Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

The next problem, or rather, the biggest problem now, is how to handle the Void Beast.

"Ember, do you think you can strip its defenses easily?"

If we are to fight it, the first worry we should have is whether our attacks will even work on it. As a Void Beast, it should have powerful protection around it, making most attacks basically ineffective and useless.

Ember didn't even have to think before shaking her head.

"Even as I am right now, I'm afraid I can't do it, Master..."

Whoever it was that was giving commands to the demons must be within their ranks, but I haven't seen a single demon that stood out from the rest.

Anyway, I fixed my gaze ahead of me.

There were already a few god-level demons that noticed my presence and were coming straight toward me.

"..."

Even back when we were fighting behind Azrael, I had already noticed this, but...

"These demons feel like they've been upgraded haphazardly... They can't even use their basic domains."

I didn't really mind it at first, but thinking back about it, it was weird.

"Were their mental facilities lowered to the limit, enough that they can't even use their domains? They're like mass-

produced cannon fodder!"

As expected, even after the demons came within range, they didn't use any of their domains. They just attacked me directly using their bodies or weapons, waving without even a hint of creativity or cunning.

*Sigh*

I heaved a sigh as I twisted my body, dodging each attack as they came. They were so uncoordinated that most of their attacks got entangled with each other, making it a lot easier to evade.

"I guess I'll just practice the new skills I gained from the girls."

While dodging the attacks and weaving through the barrage, I managed to close the distance to a dinosaur-like zombie demon. It was big, but that's all it had to offer. I jumped up, reached its back, and placed my palm right behind its cranium.

"[Collapsing Stars]!"

As I muttered the skill's name, the dinosaur-like zombie's head was smashed as if an invisible, powerful, giant hand clapped with the head in between its two palms.

I checked the damage, correlated it with the energy consumption, and nodded lightly.

"Hmmm... Pretty useful."
