1077 Cautious 3 (2/2)

Dyon's risk, in the end, almost cost him Ri's life. He might have never seen his wife again. But, what had he gained?

He ended up involuntarily stumbling upon Madeleine's plight and helping her break through in her celestial will, thus saving her. He ended up learned what was still his strongest will to this date: Death will. And he ended up becoming the key wielder of their quadrant, all because he took that one risk, that one leap of faith.

What if Alidor had taken a risk too? What if he had attacked the Epistemic Tower when the gates were closed, taking the greater danger on his shoulder? He wouldn't have even needed to fight Dyon in the end…

Suddenly, Alidor's eyes sharpened.

”Good. We'll fight until the only possibility is retreat then.” His voice was firm. In that moment, his Ethereal Permeation, a supreme law only capable of being mastered by those with Uidah and Gautama blood, finally broke through to the intent level.

The momentum of his newfound power rocked the battle field, causing the Demon Generals to grin wildly and roar into the skies.

”Darkness prevails over all

The blood seeps into the ground

The strong slay the weak and stand tall

While the unfortunate are silenced without a sound

The sage of the demon empire is supreme

Unmatched and unprecedented

Unchallenged and without flaw

Immortal and esteemed

He leaves his legacy for only those as evil as he

Only those as ruthless and heartless

Cast away your humanity for strength

Drench the soil in the blood of your enemies

Plant the seed of your life within it

Become the next Sage of the Demon Empire ”

The chant of the Demon Generals blanketed the battlefield. Their eyes blinded with pride, they charged forward, slaughtering all those before them.
