Chapter 883 The Three Races and The One Who Cleared The Game (2/2)

***

”I always feel that finding those bastards is a bad idea.” The warrior muttered, shaking his head forcefully at the thought.

Meanwhile, Zero Three could not help but turn away from monitoring the octopedal fungi to glance at him once, checking if his spirit deviation rate had increased again.

Joshua did not notice those fidgeting; he was very troubled at the moment.

Igor, Pope of the Seven Gods Church had been the one who suggested that they sought out the demons. He knew that those entities that invaded and plundered souls controlled a massive Lava Fleet—though crude and only manageable for demons, it remained a fleet that the confederate army could use.

Naturally, there was an even more practical reason: While Goliath the Gluttonous Demon King had sworn fealty, none could be sure that a demon's oath holds any value. For Mycroft's part, they would be dispatching many powerful Extraordinary powers and Void Fleet, along with a good number of Legendary champions. Their civilization would be at their most vulnerable then, and should the demons decide to break their oath and attack Mycroft, they would suffer even if the demons were beaten.

That was why Igor believed that the demons' Legendary champions—even the Demon King itself had to be conscripted into the confederate army and head to the other galaxy with the Lava Fleet, necessity for one, guarding their rear being another.

Joshua was aware that it was a fine idea that kills two birds with one stone, but demons are demons because they never—or have difficult following plans.

Not to mentioned that, despite being one of the three races named and unlike the other two who were fully supportive, most of the demons were resistant to the Mycroft's plan. While they were not inclined to fight the superior civilization, they were clearly uninterested in a plan that was at once difficult and unbeneficial for them. Even if Mycroft had kept emphasizing on the 'mutual victory' portion, it remains an aspect only Demon Generals cared for, and not their species.

Goliath the Demon King proved ambiguous too. It was neither planning to break its oath nor protesting the plan, but was simply helpless: Demons were ever free and undisciplined and would be briefly obedient to a Demon King's great power and splendor, but it was impossible for them to keep following orders obediently.

In fact, the Lava Fleet parked in a corner of Fort Pioneer would often be at odds with the local garrison and the Starherders. Each occasion happened on the spot and even the presence of Demon Generals proved useless, and were mostly caused by middling demons in an exchange with other races—exchanges that ended up in provocations.

”That's the Abyss, not to mention that Demons were essentially gathered pieces of sporadic Soul Fragments… it would be easier to hope that the Fairies become more reliable than having demons follow command.”

Such was Joshua opinion, and he ceased that line of thought.

Having formidable capacity for building and maintenance, the warrior was arranged to preside over Fort Pioneer—constructing a series of large Void docks and a dimensional hub as practice and collecting information. Simple matters completed a few days ago, Joshua was now the presiding Legendary champion who would regulate any conflict between the four races.

It must be said that it was a task that fitted Joshua very much. He only had to sit and emanate his aura, and everyone from the already-nervous Starherders, the Sartreans, some of the demons and even humans were left in palpating fear… they did not even dare to exhale loudly, much less enter conflict.

Still, that was precisely why Fort Pioneer was in such harmony save for the occasional demonic provocations. It left Joshua, extremely bored with nothing to do, apart from getting rid of one or two demons causing a ruckus.

That was why he would accept Brandon and Roland's challenges to spar until both men reached the threshold of Legend.

And this day should have hence passed in dullness too.

But Joshua suddenly blinked, sensing a reaction in the earmark programming he put in Continental War.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

”Someone cleared the Fourth Phase to enter the Fifth? No… that's the reaction of someone reaching the Fifth and passing the instance dungeon!”

Joshua was at once curious when he noticed the fact—although many players were left stumped in the Fourth Phase for a long time, it was not an unsolvable conundrum as long as their stratagem and gimmicking reached a certain level. They just have to clear it once, and it would be much simpler to clear it next time.

Still, that reaction was not caused by something as frivolous as having the Fourth Phase cleared—the entire beta testing itself had been cleared!

Who? Joshua thought, focusing and following the Mana Net reserve data stream to begin searching the server for the name of the player who cleared the game.

That was when he felt a familiar presence.

”Light?!”

After considerable search to finally find the spirit signature left by the person who passed, Joshua could not help but feel shocked when it turned out to be a frequency he was used to, before realizing something even more shocking.

”No… it's not Light, it's Light's main form!”

”The Luminous Humanoid of the Bloodmoon Abyss!”
