Chapter 563: Depraved (1/2)

GDK 563: Depraved

Lub Dub… Lub Dub… Another three Demon guards whose first times it was in the Void could not contain the fear in their hearts. Their heartbeats suddenly accelerated and seemed to be beating at the same rate as that seal after a short while. Leviathan furiously demanded them to calm themselves down, but it was too late. One after another, the three self-exploded, with their flesh and bones splattering all over their fellow men.

Fortunately, everyone was on guard after witnessing the first explosion. When they noticed the three Demon Guards about to explode, they hastily put up their own defensive measures and managed to block the impact of the flying flesh and shattered bones. They did not sustain greater damage.

All those characters who had cultivated to the heights of Demon sure possessed a steady heart and mind. However, in such an intense environment, facing enormous pressure repeatedly exerted by the two Demon Kings, some of them freaked out. It was only so that their heartbeats would rocket and trigger the seal.

Thanks to Han Shuo and Leviathan’s reminder, as well as the fact that those who remained were a more unflustered group of people, not a single one of them revealed a tiny bit of fear or worry. Every one of them wore a face as steady as a boulder, with their heartbeats so flat that Han Shuo almost thought they were dead.

After this round of danger, all those men truly understood just how treacherous the Void was without needing any more words from Leviathan and Manticole. It was no wonder that the two Demon Kings would be so cautious. Even an accelerated heartbeat could cause death by spontaneous combustion. They knew the dangers of the Void by heart.

“You all have seen it just now. In this place, even the tiniest mistake could result in death. Hmph, we could be considered lucky this time as it wasn’t a large-scale boundary attack. Otherwise, we would all probably be dead by now. You had all better be more careful,” Leviathan wasn’t emotionally affected at all by the death of his minions, instead, he began reprimanding in a stiff face.

“Alright. Kohler, that boundary, try to enter it,” Manticole pointed at the path ahead that was blocked by a boundary without any special visual characteristics, and nonchalantly instructed his minion with the weakest strength among the Black Jade Guards.

That Black Jade Guard whose name was called had fear scribbled across his face in splotchy red ink by a tourettes patient. There was no doubt in his mind that Manticole was only using him as cannon fodder to test the boundary ahead. Kohler, who had placed his firm conviction in Manticole as the one true god, realized that he had no second option no matter how afraid he was. He kneeled down on one knee at Manticole and said in a deep voice, “My Lord, if this humble servant is so unfortunate to lose his life, please take care of my son.”

Manticole nodded and unenthusiastically said, “Go ahead. I know what to do.”

Without another word, Kohler charged ahead with unswerving determination. A burst of dazzling light suddenly erupted from that formless boundary. In the next moment, Han Shuo sensed an extreme energy of light coming from it. After the flash of bright light, Kohler’s body and soul vanished without a trace.

This Kohler had spent a ton of effort and meticulously cultivated for who knew how long to finally become a Demon. In the end, however, he simply vanished in just a flash of light…

Manticole was indifferent and did not reveal any trace of sorrow because of Kohler’s death. He nodded to Leviathan standing beside him and said, “Your guards, there’s one cultivating in the energy of light.”

“Nolan, go,” Leviathan instructed without a second of hesitation, not even turning back for a peep.

This Nolan who cultivated in the element of light was a beautiful and alluring woman. After hearing the instruction, she only stared blankly for a fraction of a second before shooting directly into that light element boundary without uttering a word.

“So this is how you have been advancing the path from the very beginning?” Han Shuo was stunned and asked in appall.

Manticole put on a faint smile and answered, “That’s right. We could sense the energy type in some of those seals, but in some, we couldn’t. It’s usually not a problem if one enters a boundary or seal that is made of the same energy the person cultivates in. As long as the person doesn’t die in there, he or she might even obtain great rewards.”

Han Shuo shook his head slightly and breathed a soft sigh. Although the two Demon Kings couldn’t detect that this boundary was made of the element of light, Han Shuo’s wonderful consciousness, however, had long sensed it. However, before Han Shuo could say anything, that pitiful Kohler was sent to his death. Han Shuo didn’t know what to think of the duo’s practice. As he sighed, he couldn’t help but throw a glance at Bord and Zinia.

The couple wore numb faces, as though they were all too familiar with this method. Han Shuo understood in his heart that their loyalty to Demon King Manticole could not be doubted. Even if Manticole wanted them to kill themselves, they would do so in a heartbeat.

Han Shuo shook his head again but did not say any more.

That boundary of light glittered blindingly. After a long time, the light finally faded before completely vanishing. A pleasantly surprised expression on that beautiful woman called Nolan was revealed. Han Shuo clearly sensed the element of light intensely gathered inside her body. It was clear to him that Nolan must have obtained some marvelous rewards inside the boundary of light.
