559 The Myth of the Demonic Realm Part 2 (1/2)
”Scared? Yet just a moment ago, all of you were so excited.” Nailisi used her finger to poke at the demons' heads.
The demons dared not argue back, but all secretly thought, ”Since when were we excited?”
”Actually, I have nothing to lose. I intend to trick a few supreme demons over, one by one. Once they come over, we will all subdue them. We can do this three-hundred or even five-hundred times, surely there is bound to be one who is willing to be bonded. I can only be bonded a few times, so if one of the supreme demons agrees, I will not need demons anymore. At most, I will look for demonic spirits,” Nailisi said. The four demons began to panic. If Nailisi managed to subdue a supreme demon, then the four of them would be worthless to her.
Freedom or survival? Usually, demons would choose freedom. If Nailisi really were to become the strongest Luoluokaluo one day, then she could very well become a God or even something else that had never been seen before.
If that was the case, then the four demons still had a chance of becoming demi-gods and their lifespan could easily increase by up to one-hundred times.
To be able to obtain great power along with an incredibly long lifespan was a combination that even demons would find hard to refuse.
What if Nailisi were to be killed? Then the four demons would lose a part of their souls though.
”All of you seemed to have mentioned before about a myth from the demonic realm.”
Cuisi nodded. The myth did not appear out of nowhere. It had been passed down for tens of thousands of years and its source was unknown to even some supreme demons that had lived for more than ten-thousand years.
”I did not give the design of the devil armor to Master. Now that the four of you are wearing it, haven't you thought about what it could mean?” Nailisi was an expert in manipulation. The soul bond must be a mutual agreement and it must be completed without any resistance from either side. Even if Nailisi threatened them with death, these four demons might still not agree to the soul bond.
The myths of the demonic realm were few and far between because the lifespans of supreme demons were simply too long. A few devils had even lived for more than ten-thousand years. Unlike other dimensions, myths from the demonic realm would have been passed on for more than ten-thousand years without too much changes or exaggerations to its contents.
This myth was different though. This myth described how a Luoluokaluo would lead four devils to conquer every dimension and build a demon kingdom. Supposedly, this took place in the two-hundredth demon era. By estimation, this meant it took place around three-hundred to five-hundred years ago.
If this prophetic myth were to happen onto Nailisi, then the four demons who had been given the devil armor could very well be the four devils that supported her.
Devils were all advanced from supreme demons. An ability of the Luoluokaluo would be to advance a demon directly into a devil.
”I will begin what I said once we return to Metatrin City. All of you still have time to consider,” Nailisi spoke patiently. Instead, the four demons began to answer frantically.
”Lord Nailisi, we are willing to follow you forever.”
That was when Nailisi finally smiled. Saleen was not willing to be bonded with these four demons because he was worried that if anything bad were to happen to him, Nailisi would be the one to suffer the consequences.
”If I were to be bonded to these four demons with soul bonds, then Saleen will also be able to command them directly and none of them will be able to resist.”
”Very well. Once we return to Metatrin City, I will sign the soul bonds with you. Capturing a supreme demon is still something we have to do. All of you must have some ambition. Don't you wish to command a supreme demon into battle?”
”No, no, no. Master Nailisi, let's sign the bond now!” Tolesi was smarter than the rest. Even if the four of them did not fully believe in Saleen, they had complete faith in Nailisi. Proactively signing a soul bond was entirely different from signing it passively. Besides, Saleen had also done many unexpectedly good things for them.
”What are the few of them doing?” Lex, who was overseeing the setting up of camp, asked Saleen.
Lex did not feel completely at ease with those demons taking the rear.
”There are enemies that are tailing us. They will stay at the rear so that we will not be taken by surprise,” Saleen answered calmly. The range of his senses went much further than the demons'. He knew that there were still beasts on the mountain that were spying on the swordmasters setting up camp. There might not be many of them, but that made them even more dangerous.
”Oh.” Lex did not think further. Bain was also keeping a lookout for anything from the mountain, while the two black metal grand swordmasters were also on guard on the other side. Neither teams would leave themselves unguarded when setting up camp.
”You are all very obedient. I like that.” Nailisi led the four demons behind a huge rock. The four of them knelt and Nailisi began to write demon words on their foreheads.
It was much simpler for her to sign a soul bond on her own since it was one of Luoluokaluo's specialties. The first time she signed a bond was with Saleen. Nailisi was still filled with grief and indignation on that thought. A demon that prided herself on her ability to cheat still could not believe she was cheated by a human.
It was impossible to take revenge on Saleen now so she might as well vent her anger on others. Nailisi had faith in these four demons. She knew their fighting abilities very well. Average demons were not as powerful as Aiwa and the rest. Even Tolesi's combat skills were still considered excellent amongst demons, he also possessed unique spiritual attack skills.
