Chapter 636 Reputation Store is Stocked

Looking at the red mushroom cloud rising in the distance, feeling the fire elemental magic raging in the air…

The walking winged devil was stunned.

His true name was Maurice Ryan.

He was one of the fear battle devils, the supreme race in the Realm of Devils.

Only the demon gods could be ranked above this race.

Even three of the thirteen demon gods were fear battle devils.

They were a purely fighting race and rarely felt fear.

But looking at the mushroom cloud in front of him, which he had never seen before, he felt a rare hint of fear.

At this time, he suddenly remembered what the demon god Paimon had said to him.

Half an hour ago… All those players who rushed in in the first wave died.

Ryan looked at the corpses of more than a hundred humans spread on the ground, but there were more corpses of devils strewn about nearby.

To kill these hundred or so humans, they lost over two hundred devils.

This was even with thirty thousand of them in the encirclement, and even with plenty of long-range arrows and magic support.

It was enough to prove the strength and bravery of this group of humans.

But what made Ryan feel more uneasy was the madness these humans showed.

Devils were also crazy.

But in most cases, it was the crazy of losing one’s mind.

Such a state of madness was strong in combat, but the disadvantage was also very obviousthey were very stupid, single-minded, and easily lured into traps.

But these humans, their madness was the rational type.

Even if they fought to the death, they dealt a higher amount of damage to the enemy for an extremely small price.

This was unreasonable.

Madness and sanity shouldn’t go hand in hand.

Because fear of death was an instinct of all creatures, even the devils had to rely on Berserking and losing their sanity before they could overcome their fear of death.

But these hundred or so humans didn’t need to.

They were very crazy and very sane.

This was impossible.

Ryan thought it incomprehensible, and even harbored an uneasy agitation over it.

Although the race of fear battle devils were mainly Warriors, that was because they were so talented as Warriors. In reality, they were quite brainy as a race, and even if they mainly became Warriors and lived for decades, they could still use some low-level spells.

So he decided to go to the demon god Paimon to ask for information.

It was clear that over thirty thousand troops had been assembled, and if it were in the past, Lord Paimon would have ordered an attack on the main plane.

But this time… gathering troops was more like trying to defend than attack.

All he could do was seek Lord Paimon’s advice.

He returned to his tent and activated the magical communication stone.

After waiting for a sign from the communication stone, he said respectfully, “Lord Paimon, sorry to bother you in the middle of a busy day. I have something I don’t understand, could you please dispel my doubts?”

“Speak quickly, I am very busy.” “Why aren’t we attacking actively this time? Is there something wrong on the side of the human world?”

“Why would you think that?”

Ryan continued, “A little while ago, over a hundred human Warriors appeared at the portal. They were fierce, they weren’t afraid to die, but though they were crazy, they somehow preserved their sanity. We had them surrounded and over two hundred of us died before we took them out.”

There was a moment of silence in the communication stone, and then what sounded like a young, human, gentle voice emerged. “Hold down the area for now. If any humans teleport over from there, continue to kill them. Don’t worry, I’ve gone to find Phoenix, he knows the most about human affairs. I’ll ask him and maybe it will be clear.”

“Lord Paimon, you still haven’t answered my question as to why you didn’t want us to attack the main plane in the first place.”

There was another long period of silence, and after a while, Paimon said, “It’s not that I don’t want to, but I don’t dare… You know I’m the best at divination, and I have a feeling that if we don’t get enough people together and just rush in, you’ll all end up dead. And then I’ll end up dead too!”

“That’s impossible!” Ryan was surprised. “You’re a demon god!”

“Even a proper god could die, let alone us,” Paimon said faintly. “So Ryan, please, we won’t actively attack them for now, but if humans come through, you must finish them off and not let too many of them gather.”

Paimon was considered to be more popular among the demon gods, because he abided by the rules he set.

The Realm of Devils seemed chaotic and disorderly, but it also followed certain rules.

There were no completely chaotic intelligent creatures in this world. Any completely chaotic species would surely destroy itself.

“As you wish, Lord Paimon.”

Then Ryan watched the swarm of human Summoners that had somehow appeared behind him.

He thought to himself that with 30,000 troops, he should be able to take out the summoned creatures and then the Summoners.

Then before the ground troops could even really make contact, he had been sent flying by an AOE spell from an unknown source.

He looked at the red mushroom cloud in the distance, then at the huge crater.

Lava was flowing at the bottom of the crater.

At least a thousand or more devils died in the explosion, leaving only hardened bones still tumbling in the lava.

And more devil soldiers were sent flying and scalded by the intense blast.

Not all the devils were like him with an extremely high fire resistance. Blackened or half-scorched, half-yellow bodies groaned and squirmed around the huge pit.

“What’s going on here!” Ryan licked his lips. “What kind of spell is this?”

The succubus landed from the air and said, “A human Mage used a giant blue fireball. It’s the first time I’ve seen it as well.”

Both of them were silent for a few seconds.

They had seen a lot of fireball spells… Many races in the Realm of Devils were good at playing with fire.

But it was the second time he’d seen a blue fireball.

The first time he saw it, it was used by Phoenix.

And he’d never seen the magic power converge so fast, so powerfully.

Logically, this kind of powerful spell usually gave a fairly obvious warning.

Even Fallen Meteor had a casting and guidance process before it fell.

It lasted at least fifteen seconds or more.

But a spell of this power, from the time it was discovered, to the time it took shape, to the time it exploded, was estimated to be about five seconds.

This was too unreasonable.

“Where is that human Mage?” “Gone.”

“You didn’t keep an eye on him?” “He used Secondary Stealth and hid inside the group of Summoners.”

Ryan immediately stopped talking.
