Chapter 350 – Death Altar (1/2)
”Samo was the marshal of our army before he fell due to a certain event,” facing Fatty's inquiry, Zhang Feihu only briefly introduced Samo without saying anything more.
Since Zhang Feihu didn't want to get into the details, Fatty didn’t pry. Seeing Samo wildly slaughtering in the midst of the Demon army, he conveniently withdrew the Elemental Sword Diagram. Fatty’s heart had long been bleeding by the diagram’s enormous consumption with each passing second.
However, this was in no way a loss. One, he was able to help Bai Xiaosheng hold up until now; two, most of the experience gained from killing the demons went to Fatty. He was currently fast approaching level 59 and might reach 60 at the end of this siege if he didn’t die.
”If the second floor sealed a god, what about the third floor?” Fatty set his eyes on the Tower of Heroes.
”I advise you not to.” Zhang Feihu watched Samo pull out all the stops with his slaughtering, but his ears still paid attention to the conversation between Fatty and Bai Xiaosheng. ”Sealing souls is only the most basic ability of the tower. There are many more unique functions that you haven’t discovered, and all of them are beyond your control.”
”The tower is really so formidable?” Fatty was in a bit of disbelief.
”Although the Tower of Heroes isn’t as powerful as your Elemental Skill Book, it is, after all, the command center of Hero City which the Divine craftsman of the Central Dynasty spent a lot of effort into building, for this city was intended to be the front line of the grand war. When you officially claim Hero City, you’ll know that its internal facilities aren’t inferior to any famous main city out there despite its smaller area,” Zhang Feihu explained.
”More formidable than my Sky City?” Fatty muttered. He was considering whether he should kill Bai Xiaosheng and rob the tower.
”Sky City? You are the lord of Sky City?” Surprised, Zhang Feihu scanned Fatty a few times before saying, ”Of course, it’s not as good as your city. Sky City is the leader of the seven neutral main cities. Apart from the Imperial Capital, only cities like Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and so on can only be tied with it, this shows how famous Sky City is. In other words, the Imperial City is a first-class main city; the Azure Dragon City, Sky City, and the others are second-class main cities, and Hero City is the best among the third-class main cities.”
”I see.” Fatty swept Bai Xiaosheng a glance. ”In that case, I won’t rob your tower.”
Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t in the mood to respond to Fatty’s joke, he only looked at Samo worriedly.
As expected of a Divine expert, Samo was stopping the entire Demon army of millions all by himself. Ever since his short emergence several minutes ago, he had killed at least a hundred thousand demons.
”Amazing,” Fatty praised from the bottom of his heart.
”This is nothing,” Zhang Feihu calmly commented. ”It’s always a massacre when a Divine expert confronts puny soldiers. Later, there will be corresponding experts from the Demon army, so we need to be prepared.”
”The Demon army also has these kinds of experts?” Bai Xiaosheng almost passed out. Why is there no end to this? It’s only a mission, okay?!
No need for any distant example, just take this Fatty right here, he didn't encounter such danger when he recovered Sky City, argh! Bai Xiaosheng felt very imbalanced.
“Roarrg…”
A long roar echoed from the rear of the Demon army, followed by an indomitable figure that loomed in the sky. The towering figure raised its big hands and made a grabbing gesture at Samo.
”Demon King Sigg, you’re still not dead?” Samo let out a loud roar and abandoned the Demon soldiers below to pounce towards the figure.
”How can I die, Samo, when you’re not dead yet?” Demon King Sigg burst out laughing. His body shrank rapidly until he was about the same size as Samo.
”Then I will just kill you again.” Samo rocketed into the air with a purple brilliance circulating around his body. Transforming into a huge spear, he shot towards Demon King Sigg.
”With just you? Traitor of the Demon realm, today, I shall wipe you out in the stead of His Majesty the Demon Emperor.” Not to be outdone, a black saber appeared in Demon King Sigg’s hand. The saber was inlaid with nine eyes, and these eerie eyes were still blinking to boot.
”Ghost Eye War Saber? It’s actually him!” Zhang Feihu was startled.
”Who?” Bai Xiaosheng hurriedly asked.
”Ranked 7th among the Demon Kings of the Demon realm, Demon King Ghost Eye. That saber possesses a strong mental offensive ability. Sigg massacred the Beholder clan and their entire clan of 99.999 million Beholders to make his saber. That weapon is specialized at suppressing Divine-tier experts.”
Sure enough, when the saber appeared with its occasionally blinking eyes, Samo’s body shook and his movement was visibly slowed.
”You said Samo is a traitor to the Demon race?” Fatty had a great interest in gossip.
”Samo originally belong to the royal clan of the Demon realm. Due to some reason, he turned against the Demon race and sought refuge with the grand marshal, then was promoted to marshal after rendering meritorious military deeds,” Zhang Feihu explained in a few words. He didn’t seem to want to elaborate on Samo's past.
”That’s really something. A demon can sit firmly in the position of marshal in the Human army. What's even more amazing is the grand marshal’s trust in him,” Fatty exclaimed with a sigh.
”You don't know the hatred between Samo and the Demon race. Before, he… Nevermind, it’s better not say it.” Zhang Feihu stopped on second thought and refused to elaborate no matter how Fatty asked.
