〖 Still too weak 〗Negary stood casually on top of the bone-filled grounds. Even now, he was still suppressing his strength, yet these people were unable to make him feel pressured at all.

There were only six people left to face him right now: the legendary adventurer, Chris Modo; the Cardinal of Divine Grace, Augustin; the Cardinal’s disciple, Luen Donner; the Knight of Divine Grace, Myerson; the Royas Last God squad captain, Smick Lancher; and the avenger, Jason Todd.

All six of these individuals had their own desirable personality characteristics and could be considered elites among humans, although Luen and Myerson were still a bit green.

〖 Your determinations are still far from enough 〗Negary commented. These people could be considered the top among the humans of this world, according to the intel he had gathered, the only one who could be above them was the man called Eldridge who ruled over Royas.

〖 If the top is merely this much, then my journey would not reach far 〗Negary sighed, after so many years of growth, he could already sense that barrier, the unbreakable obstacle. In the end, this was only a low-magic world.

〖 Then let me raise the stakes a bit! 〗Negary slowly declared: 〖 You must’ve already noticed, in Reystromia, most diseases do not exist. The reason for that is because most causes of these diseases are perfectly controlled in my hands 〗

〖 Every year, the merchants who came to Reya and stayed for a certain period of time would take with them some of Reya’s specialty, that is my blessing 〗Negary spoke with complete seriousness: 〖 Normally, these blessings stay dormant and are completely harmless to humans, in fact, they make it so that they are always healthy 〗

〖 But once I order them to become active again, they will regain their true forms as diseases and infect their hosts——– the merchants who wander this continent will become moving progenitors of diseases and spread the plague wherever they go 〗

〖 And there are currently six of you left. For each one of you that cannot satisfy my needs, I shall activate the germs within ten of these merchants. Trust me, this is more than enough to create a plague of disastrous proportions 〗

〖 Although this will cause my sources of food to dwindle greatly, that is perfectly fine, it is a trade-off that I can make. But what about you? Are you prepared to pay that price? 〗As Negary spoke, his glance fell onto Myerson, the Knight of Divine Grace, perhaps it was because he had just destroyed his comrade’s body, but he remained especially silent.

〖 Naturally, there is an option for you all to surrender yourselves to me and help me take control over more territory 〗Negary smiled: 〖 It was under my guidance that Reya grew to the prosperity it has today, those who live here would not be troubled by the majority of diseases, and the only thing they have to pay is a few sacrifices 〗

〖 Think about it, compared to the number of people who die from plagues and diseases each year, the sacrifices that I demand are significantly lower 〗Negary tempted them: 〖 Your very choice of attacking me was already the wrong decision 〗

“Spare us your deception” Chris was stunned for a while and remained silent until he spoke up again: “It is unfortunate that so many people die from diseases, but sacrificing people is surely nothing but wicked. Using good results to justify wicked acts might look good, but I whole-heartedly believe that this is nothing but an error, and I will never accept an error as anything else but that”

〖 If you disagree with it so much, then exert more of your potential and show me your determination! 〗Negary laughed, and pulled his gaze away from Myerson. He knew that the young man had already fallen into his trap without any hope of escape.
