Chapter 575: The Wrath of the Lich King (I)
But regardless of the circumstances, she had failed. There was only one chance, and no other. The lich king was not clear on how the six-headed Haoyue was already able to pressure her to such incredible extent. At that rate, the next time they’d find him, the only thing to do would be to wait for his next evolution. Only, after evolving, would anyone truly be able to suppress him?
Her incomparably deep feeling of powerlessness gradually turned into deep fear, as the lich king once again let out a deep screech.
Tower of Eternity.
At the time Haochen and Haoyue returned, Haochen felt his back dripping with sweat. The previous situation was just far too much. Without Haoyue’s assistance, he’d surely have already died. No matter what, he couldn’t give up on Haoyue and transport himself back to the Tower of Eternity alone. Those undead creatures were just beings at a whole other level! There’s still a gap between the Demon God of Death Saminaga and the lich king’s undead magic, but she’s even more straightforward and terrifying. In particular, her last summon of over a hundred bone dragons was far too shocking. If not for Haoyue’s act of deterrence towards those bone dragons, he could only have ended up torn to shreds.
But from another standpoint, such terrifying undead powerhouses held blatant fear towards Haoyue, and Haoyue’s aura even suppressed their strength. From that, one can well imagine how bitter the memories his ancestors left in them were. Haoyue, just what level will you reach in the future?
Seeing Haoyue’s six large heads and his purple crystal-like armor, Long Haochen softly caressed him. Haoyue’s six large heads immediately gathered, especially the newborn earth elemental head Little Yellow, who rubbed against him insistently.
In front of Long Haochen, the previous pressure Haoyue had was totally nonexistent, and he appeared instead like a child. This evolution also provided Long Haochen with a considerable boost.
His internal spiritual energy reached a total of three thousand units, and more importantly, his external spiritual energy had a change. Having finally quieted down, Long Haochen could pay attention to these changes. He found out that a new kind of powerful force seemed to be present in his blood, this force seeming very close to Haoyue’s aura. It should be the origin of that purplish golden color that had appeared on him before. This force was fusing with his body, and gradually became part of him. Based on Haochen’s estimate, before ten days pass, it will have completely finished the process of fusion. Long Haochen had no precise idea of the level his external spiritual energy would reach at that time, but it would have to be measured in tens of thousands! Moreover, this external spiritual energy he gained because of Haoyue seemed to have properties in common with internal spiritual energy.
After spending this affectionate time, Haoyue crawled onto the ground of the Tower of Eternity, entering a deep slumber. Visibly already very tired, he had expended a lot of energy in this evolution.
Long Haochen’s comrades didn’t know what thrilling experiences the two of them experienced at the end, after all, they only came a mere few dozen seconds earlier than when Long Haochen and Haoyue returned. There’s no way they could know that if Long Haochen hadn’t strived to earn these last few seconds and stopped the lich king, her last attack could have threatened Haoyue, and kept them there forever.
Haoyue being in deep slumber, they joined Haochen’s side, and Han Yu expressed with worry, “Captain, Haoyue’s evolutions seem to be becoming more and more challenging. That undead creature we saw before was strong enough to match the top ten demon gods, and even surpass some. I’m afraid that we are going to face even more powerful enemies next.”
Lin Xin expressed, “Haoyue’s evolutions are also taking longer and longer. Maybe the next one will be in a few years. At that time, do you think that we still won’t have the ability to face enemies of her kind? Boss is already a knight of the eighth step. After a few years, maybe he’ll reach the ninth step already.”
Wang Yuanyuan let out a giggle, “I didn’t think you were so optimistic. Boss, now that Haoyue’s evolution is completed, shall we go look for Ying’er?”
Long Haochen nodded, “It’s time for us to gather the last of them to us. However, over the past few days, I have have carefully reflected on what's next, and I have decided that we will try our utmost to not intervene when coming next to Myriad Beast Mountain Pass of the Spiritual Temple and the Southern Mountain Pass of the Priest Temple. In particular, I can definitely not participate any further in the defense against the demons.”
Hearing that statement, the others were all baffled. In fact, as Demon Hunters, their most basic mission was defense against demons.
Long Haochen declared, “After the termination of my secluded training, I have been in the Dragon Resisting, Exorcist, Tombal, and Southeastern Mountain Oasses. But every time, my interventions have been far too influential. In the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, I managed to severely wound the Demon God of Death Saminaga thanks to the Tower of Eternity. Then in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, I assisted great-grandfather Sheng Yue in killing the Blazing Lion Demon Andromalius, and killed the Goblin Knight Seere alongside Cai’er. Then, relying on Light Prayers, I temporarily held off the supra forbidden spell of the Hell Demon God Marbas, earning some time for the Tombal Mountain Pass. And now finally, once again I killed the Demon God of Clear Vision.”
Three demon gods died consecutively because of me. The demons aren’t idiots, and my Golden Foundation Armor is really too conspicuous. They surely have taken note of me, and may even have some guesses. And every time I appear in the battlefield, I gain more comrades at my side. I can cover my own looks, but your appearances will be recorded in their eyes. As long as they have capable people analyze my being, they can very easily guess my appearance. If the Demon God Emperor ascertains these guesses, he will very possibly lead the Devil Dragons, Moon Demons and Star Demons in a large scale invasion. This is the scenario I fear the most. The demons will sooner or later find out my identity, but I hope for this to be in the demon territory. This way it won’t implicate the Six Great Forts. For this reason, we will strive our utmost to stop intervening in the following forts, and stay low-key. After we are with Ying’er and Sima, we will display our full force after infiltrating inside the demon territory.
