338 The Ancient Legend of the Demon Lord (1/2)

”Did I hear correctly? You found some people that appeared here due to that sea monster actions; until that point, it isn't hard to believe as it has happened already a few times, but the next part…”

The chief of the lizardmen tribe didn't have any problem with the story of Yale about his group having been attacked by that sea monster because the lizardman with the scar wasn't the first victim of that sea monster nor the last.

He had already assumed that the coast near the lizardmen tribe was a point in which usually appeared its victims. However, usually those who appeared weren't lizardmen, so they left after asking some basic information about the area.

”Are you sure that there are one of our own with that group and that the others are all divine beasts?”

Despite believing the first part, the chief found quite difficult to believe the other, but the transformations of Yale, Sebe, and Wyba were clearly seen by the scout group, so they didn't have any doubt.

”I know it is difficult to believe, but that is the truth. Moreover, the two normal wolves of their group called the one who seems to be the leader of the group by the name Demon Lord. However, that person isn't the strongest in level despite being treated like the leader and having that nickname. Is that something important?”

Until that moment they had only told that Yale's group was formed by divine beasts, and explained how Yale could teleport without any difficulty, but until that moment they hadn't told the chief about the name that the wolves used towards Yale.

”Demon Lord? Are you sure?”

The face of the chief changed when he heard his subordinates report about how Yale was called.

”We are sure!”

Both lizardmen replied at the same time.

”This… Wait, before continue, are they alright? I hope that they aren't harmed and that you didn't dare to offend them.”

The chief was extremely nervous at that moment, which made that his subordinates understood that Yale's group wasn't simple.

”We tried to kill them because we thought that they were humans, but the Demon Lord blocked our sneak attack easily, and he even forgave our actions after we spoke.”

The chief was seriously thinking in offering that scouting group as sacrifices if the Demon Lord dared to pursue the matter, but if his subordinates had been forgiven, that was the best.

”Listen, you mustn't offend that divine beast, no matter the reasons. Being called demons lord and traveling with other divine beasts without internal strife… that only makes me recall a story I heard when I was young.”

Seeing that the chief, who was at the Sage Rank and had lived for an extremely long time was so serious about the matter, the two lizardmen didn't even dare to speak.

”I think that you already know that usually, divine beasts don't like to associate with other divine beasts unless they are family, and they are also too competitive making that they are unable to unify.”

The two lizardmen nodded as it was common sense about divine beasts that anyone could learn from any books that spoke about the story of the continent.

Divine beasts possessed a lot of Law Masters in the western continent and if they were to be united, conquering the continent wouldn't be impossible. At least, it was sure that they could make an enormous empire without problems.

”However, that wasn't like this in the past, and when I say past, I am referring to a lot of time before the invasion of the eastern continent. It is a story that I heard from my grandfather, and he had heard it from his ancestors, I think that you can imagine how old is this story.”
