582 The Demon City (2/2)

”Mephisto used to be the name of an ancient demon in human language. I wager that the human devil will almost certainly visit us very soon.” Wu Juetian spoke under his breath.

”The city of the demon. You mean...we are his next target?”

”Indeed! He is the devil, isn't he? Of course, he will come to the demon city. We need to prepare for a full-on war as soon as possible. Otherwise, neither of our lords would let us live in peace.” Wu Juetian urged and saw fear flicker in Naru's eyes.

Patroclus had ruled the immortals with order, and at times, even some measure of understanding. However, the same could not be said about Moye.

As soon as a dark one was born, they were thrown right into a fierce competition, where only the fittest survived. The dark ones strived to become the perfect race, and therefore, not even the smallest mistakes were tolerated.

Naru didn't overthink the situation, neither did his intelligence allow him to. If the enemy came, he would kill the enemy; it was as simple as that. However, what if the enemy was so strong that it posed a danger to himself? Before he met Wang Tong, Naru never had to think questions like that.

As he pondered his options, he finally had a light bulb moment. He turned to Wu Juetian and said, ”Mr. Wu, you were a human, I am sure that you know how to deal with this devil. Tell you what, if you can help me handle Wang Tong, I will give you all the force inside Mephisto.” Naru felt relieved and was very proud of himself for coming up with such a brilliant idea.

Wu Juetian suppressed a chuckle and said, ”As you wish, my lord. But, since the enemy is a devil, please assist me during the battle.”

”Of course! I will be at your command.” Naru answered in a cheerful tone.

The dark ones were used to following orders. When they were not sure what to do, nothing sounded more comforting and reassuring than an order from an imperious leader.

Without firing a shot, Wu Juetian had taken over the city of Mephisto. He had only brought five other immortals with him, and Naru had never considered him a threat.

As for Wang Tong, Wu Juetian was sure that he could overcome him with ease. He was already level twenty-one before he was transformed into an immortal. With his invincible body, he could kill Wang Tong like squashing a fly.

In addition to taking over as many dark one's cities as possible, capturing Wang Tong was also one of the orders from Patroclus. He could not pass up the opportunity of killing a famous human warrior, particularly if Wu Juetian didn't even have to look for him.

…

Meanwhile, the city of Maersa was no longer a derelict backwater forgotten village that it used to be. As more and more people migrated into the city, it grew in size and prospered. The mass production of the energy crystal gun had also drawn many powerful factions into the city to discuss potential opportunities as business partners.

The mad scientist, Wang Tung, had drawn a lot of attention to himself, partly due to his invention, but also because of his name. Many people thought that Wang Tung was Wang Tong's brother because how similar their names sounded.

However, Wang Tung considered his popularity as nothing but a distraction.
