Chapter 249: Crushing One Of The Three Heads (1/2)

Inside a hidden cave at the deepest parts of the Desolate Scorching Wastelands, there was a demon that looked practically like a normal human, apart from his aggressive dog-like ears and his slightly sharper canines.

He was currently writing some observations on the documents that contained the whole record of his research and the results of all the samples he had collected.

This demon was called Zertis and he was one of the most important figures inside the Cerberus Clan. This demonic clan had the ”Three Heads” or three leader-like figures. Barghest was the main head and also the Clan Head, the one that was above all others inside their ranks. Zertis was his right head, the one that took care of everything regarding to plans and logistics, while the left head was called Grigor, the one titled as Hellhound.

Zertis was working on the project called ”Crimson Agent”, trying to complete the awakening of the Crimson Giant, stationed within this hidden base. As he was about to study about the next procedures, the Sound Transmit Formation showed connection signals.

He stood up and connected the formation, expecting it would be Barghest calling, but the first thing he heard, was a desperate yelp of one of his subordinates.

”Help! Master Zertis, please help! They had discovered our location! We are being attacked! We need your h...” The formation suddenly disconnected.

Zertis furrowed his eyebrows after he realized it was something serious. Other than Grigor and Barghest, the only other location apt to send a sound transmission for him, was the hidden base they used as a ”pet house”.

At that place, there were not only their hound beasts, but the experiments that had at least survived the transformation process. If they lost that place, it would mean the loss of their powerful beasts and the samples they worked on for so long.

Zertis immediately connected his Sound Transmit Formation again, but trying to contact a certain person this time. After a few seconds, the formation was thoroughly connected.

”What do you need?”

”Grigor, the second base is currently under attack. I need you to quickly destroy whatever is causing that attack, else we will lose the progression we've made so far.”

”Oh? Finally, some action.” On the other side, the voice of the man called Grigor, sounded a bit content.

The formation was disconnected, but Zertis knew Grigor was already on the move. That man loved to battle and to destroy his opponents, so he would not miss that chance.

Some minutes before those transmissions occurred, Seth and Lan Xue were standing at the edge of a canyon, from where they were able to see a hidden entrance on the wall of rocks on the other side.

Both of them used their scans to sense the situation inside that hidden entrance and what they discovered made them furrow their eyebrows. Lan Xue, because she never thought this place would be a hidden base, but Seth furrowed his eyebrows in disgust, after seeing the horrifying condition of some ”samples” inside there. Lan Xue wasn't able to see them, else she would be acting like Seth.

”Let's go.”

They jumped from the edge, quickly moving towards the hidden entrance. Like lightning, Seth suddenly appeared in front of a cave wall that seemed to be closed, but in reality, it was a fake cover. He sent a kick that contained his Mana towards there and a loud explosion occurred.

Boom!

A single kick of his, was enough to blow the whole entrance away, together with the dozens of guards that were caught off guard inside. The impact was so fierce, that their bodies instantly shattered together with the whole wall.

As the debris and dust were still falling down, Seth invaded the base, quickly turning into a dark shadow and diving deeper inside the base. His Soul Sense captured the movements of some members that were in charge of contacting the outside, so he moved to take them out first.

Lan Xue slowly entered too. Differently form Seth, she had her own pace. A pace no one would be able to disturb, be it the other demonic guards that were already approaching her, or the hounds that were ready to attack as well.

”Move! Fast! We are under attack!”

”Release the dogs!”
