Chapter 475 Meeting the enemy boss

Mark didn't know that they weren't aware of this truth. When he saw the quest details, he automatically expected everyone to know this.

Now that the truth is out and he cannot do anything about it, Mark decides to act as if it isn't a big deal. "I have my sources." He said to the mage in a nonchalant tone.

After a brief pause, he continued, "Anyway, I don't have much time to waste it. If there's no problem with my request, let's proceed with the deal. What do you say, Mr. Vexiron of the Void realm?"

The mage thought for a bit and replied, "While convincing Lord Xalazar is very difficult, I'll try my best since it is you who is requesting it. I'm sure he will agree to it too. I just need a bit of time. Until then, all of you can rest at the palace."

"Before that, just remove this fuc*ing gravitational effect on our bodies," roared the Demon Emperor, using every bit of strength he got. His face collapsed onto the ground once again.

It was then the mage realized that Eol was also affected. He gestured to Mark to retrieve it.

Mark nodded and then deactivated the Gravity Dome, releasing the pressure on enemies and allies, alike.

As the rest of them started taking heavy breaths, the High Priestess caught the unconscious princess and checked her pulse rate to check her condition. Zan Rong told her that the princess was fine and offered her help in carrying her.

The High Priestess looked at her and then glanced at Mark's back before she left the Princess in Steve's care, not because she trusted him over Zan Rong or something, but it is because he was a supreme being.

Soon, they entered the palace and except for Mark, the rest of them were taken to a guest room. They sat in one room due to the suspicions of a foul play by the demons.

Meanwhile, Mark was sitting alone with the Demon Emperor in the Throne room, where the Elven Emperor used to discuss various things with important guests or ministers in private.

In Vexiron's absence, there was a heavy silence between Mark and the Demon Emperor. The former was merely checking out the skills and quest list to pass the time while the latter was trying his best to not attack the stranger. Every time Mark raised his finger to scroll down on look at the details, the demon emperor couldn't help but think he was going to be attacked. But, he cannot foolishly make a move unless he is completely sure. As a result, he felt stressed and prayed for his prime minister to return quickly.

Meanwhile, far away from the royal palace, in the tower located on an island in the southern ocean;

A handsome hunk in a suit, who looked completely like a human except for his scarlet eyes and vertical slit pupils, was seen sitting on his throne with the mage standing before him. He was a true Demon King unlike Eol, who was merely given the title Emperor because he was ruling the world.

Vexiron wasn't even looking straight at him. His gaze was on the ground as he explained the situation. "Milord, please try to understand. Regardless of whether the Dragon Goddess is interested in him or not, his abnormal gravity manipulation is something we need. Milord has personally witnessed how destructive his potential was. If we play our cards right, freeing the Devil from the banished realm might not be a dream." n((O//V..ε(/l-(b/-I--n

"Hmm..." Xalazar stroked his chin for a few seconds, thinking about it seriously before giving a nod, "Alright. If he is really the person you suspected, he is something worth as an ally. But, if something goes wrong, you'll be prepared for punishment."

"Nothing will go wrong, Milord. Trust me..." the mage hurriedly thanked the immortal realm demon and disappeared, returning to the altar located in the premises of the palace.

A couple of minutes later, the mage returned with continuous giggling on his face and was skipping like a little kid. Neither of those actions suited him and even the Demon Emperor looked like he was embarrassed of this demigod.

"Mr. Lu, your request is granted. Lord Xalazar agreed to free the royal elves, but we have to go there by ourselves. However, you are allowed to bring only one person with you."

After a while, at the altar;

The High Priestess was standing with Mark as the mage was reciting with the incantation, activating the spell.

Sylvandria looked very displeased as she was separated from the princess. Mark was aware that the High Priestess cared about the princess. He couldn't take chances leaving both of them together in his absence. At the same time, he also needed a witness for his next act, and the witness should have enough credibility among the elves too. Even in case of a mishap, he should be able to regain the trust of the royal elves and get what he wanted all along.

This is why the High Priestess was selected as his companion as they teleported to the Tower of Xalazar.

As their vision recovered, Mark and Sylvandria found themselves in a grand majestic hall with a large roof supported by atleast twenty pillars. Each of the pillars is sixty feet long and images of limbless white dragons were drawn on them.

However, Mark isn't in a situation to care about the surroundings as his eyes fall on the person sitting on the throne with a long backseat. With about thirty steps below the throne, the man stared down at the guests in silence until they stopped and the mage bowed to him with a knee touching the floor.

"Milord, the guests are here," informed the mage.

Xalazar nodded and put his attention on Mark, trying to scan him with his senses. After a few seconds, he commented, "No wonder the Dragon Goddess is fond of you, human."

Meanwhile, Mark was inspecting the enemy too.

Xalazar

Race: Demon

Rank: 11 (peak stage) Description: An immortal realm demon king who was born out of the deaths from the wars that occurred across time on this planet. As a true demon king, he is the master of deadly sins.

Mark knew that it was impossible to control the world without taking out the strongest person. Without killing Xalazar, he knew that it was useless. After reading Eol's description and the quest followed by it, he made up his mind in a jiffy.

But, after coming here and inspecting Xalazar, Mark couldn't help but wonder whether it was really a good idea. He was having second thoughts because of the fact that Xalazar could use seven deadly sins against him. He experienced it once and it made him feel too vulnerable to attacks.

As a cautious person, he wouldn't want to do something where there is a risk to his life and there isn't a guarantee of success. Seeing Mark in a daze and not responding with a thank you to his comment, Xalazar furrowed his brows in displeasure, "Human, stop dazing out and listen to me. I don't say it twice and I don't speak in a roundabout way. I heard that you asked for the release of all the royal elves, but it isn't possible. I can only release three of them as the rest were already in the last stage of demonification and cannot return to being an elf. And luckily for you, one of those three was a young prince."

*Ding! The Quest has been modified.
