Chapter 211: The rise & Fall of Tyler Barnes (a) (2/2)

Elliot's smile was genius, but it pricked the eyes of his enemies, especially the leader of the serpentine devil, so much that they turned deep red, changing into the color of blood.

'What the fuck?! This freak! Is he taunting me?' Tyler's eyes widened in anger, and he looked at Elliot as if he was a crazy bastard. Hatred was brimming in his reddish-silver eyes. Tyler's stomach was also churning. It was as if Elliot had killed his father, then his mother, then his brothers and sisters, didn't even bury their bodies and let beasts eat them to fill their tummies.

Why was Tyler feeling like that?

Well, it's because Elliot had smashed everything he had worked for in the past few years.

One of the founders themselves had recommended Tyler Barnes to lead this expedition. It wasn't for no reason.

First off, he had shown his capabilities by leading a terrorist attack back on earth and capturing one of the ninety-nine mobile cities.

Roaming cities were rare resources of the magician community, and Tyler Barnes had managed to nap it, not with his strength but tactics.

Then, he sacrificed every citizen of the mobile city to the serpentine devil, taking more than ten thousand lives and giving them to the demonic god.

After that, the serpentine devil itself sent a demonic decree and promoted him to the mid-rank apostle, giving him immense power and an additional devilish trait that went well with his endless vitality.

Of course, most organization members weren't satisfied with him getting promoted to a mid-rank apostle after serving the serpentine devil for only a few years. He became the target of the member's envy, jealousy, and other negative emotions, causing unrest in the organization. He also fell under the dilemma of losing his position as a mid-rank demonic apostle. Slowly and steadily, he was becoming an outcast and losing his subordinates.

In the end, the higher-ups decided to solve the problem by letting him lead this expedition that barely had any chances of becoming a failure. The moment he completes this mission by killing many talented youngsters of the magician community, looting this place from all its things, and sacrificing the entire forest to his demonic God, he will stabilize his position. Not to mention, all the voices against him will instantly quiet down as completing this mission is enough to prove himself worthy to hold the title of a mid-rank apostle.

Although he had just recently ascended to the magic grandmaster stage, one can not deny that he was competent, powerful, and ambitious. So, the higher-ups didn't raise any problems with his leading this expedition. Moreover, they actively supported him as they wanted a masterpiece like him to consolidate his position and become a permanent and highly respected mid-rank apostle.
