Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Demon Clan Turmoil!
The two members of the Ghost Race lay on the ground in disarray, their faces full of disbelief.
Wasn’t this member of the Ghost Race exiled due to a congenital defect?
Why did they have no power to resist in front of this Ghost Race member?
Is this right?!
Fortunately, the Ghost Race is naturally robust, and the two of them quickly struggled to get up.
However, when looking at Veridia again, there was deep apprehension in their eyes.
After all, to be defeated without even seeing how she attacked.
This Ghost Race member’s strength must far exceed theirs.
Even compared to the strongest among the Ghost Race entering the Divine Realm this time—Cang, she’s not much weaker!
Seeing this scene, Vera sneakily scooted over to Scarlett, lowering her voice to ask:
"Scarlett sister, do you Ghost Race have bad eyesight? Are you willing to exile someone so powerful?"
Hearing the term "sister," Scarlett immediately looked at Vera.
Seeing Vera acting like a child, Scarlett reached out and poked Vera’s forehead.
"No way, call me elder sister and I’ll tell you!"
Hearing this, a black line appeared on Vera’s forehead.
She’s been around for a thousand years, calling a little girl elder sister?
How is that possible?!
Seeing Vera freeze, Scarlett’s gaze swept across Aster Grant, and she slyly leaned to Vera’s ear:
"If you call me elder sister, I’ll tell you how to pursue the master, how about it?"
Hearing this condition, Vera’s eyes lit up instantly.
Though she has existed for a thousand years, she has been in slumber.
From her descent to now, it’s only been a few months.
In terms of emotional experience...
This member of the Ghost Race seems more knowledgeable!
Thinking of this, Vera took a hard stance.
It’s just calling her elder sister.
Calling that angel was calling, calling the Ghost Race is calling too!
One more or less makes no difference!
"Scarlett sister~, please teach me!"
However...
Scarlett’s expression changed, directly refusing:
"I’m not telling you!"
She hadn’t forgotten.
In the Chaos Arena, this Elf had tied her up tightly and stuffed that thick, long... vine into her mouth.
Doing that to her, and still expect her help?
No way!
Absolutely no way!
"Swoosh——"
A spatial rift opened instantly, and Scarlett dodged backward into it.
She wasn’t a match for this Elf!
Having provoked this Elf now, better stay out of her way!
And seeing the Ghost Race member dare to play her, Vera’s lips twitched.
Although as of now, her strength ranks low among her master’s Beastbond...
But she’s at least stronger than this little girl!
However...
Watching Scarlett already disappear into The Void, Vera’s face darkened.
This little girl runs really fast!
At the entrance.
Veridia looked at the two Ghost Race members blocking her way again, her gaze suddenly turning cold.
She had held back just now!
If these two Ghost Race members couldn’t see the situation clearly, she wouldn’t mind teaching them a lesson!
But the next moment...
"Swish!"
The two Ghost Race members suddenly backed to the sides, making way.
In the Ghost Race’s law of survival, strength is the truth.
Clearly, Veridia’s strength had conquered them both!
Moreover, even if they continued to block Veridia...
It would just be inviting humiliation!
Furthermore...
The order "Cang" gave them was only to try their best to prevent others from entering the Soulspring.
"You and your... master can enter."
"And that human girl with you!"
"But other Human Race members... cannot enter!"
Seeing the two Ghost Race members acting wisely, Aster Grant stopped Veridia from continuing to take action.
As long as he could enter, that was enough!
As for these Council members...
They’re not familiar!
Then, Aster Grant calmly led Crystal Winslow through.
And seeing this scene, the crowd from the Council only then awakened as if from a dream, all demanding Aster Grant’s help.
"That Draconia Beast Tamer, could you put in a good word for us? We’d like to enter too!"
"Yeah, the Human Race is a whole, you surely won’t mind doing such a small favor, right?"
These Council members, seeing Aster Grant’s Beastbond could overwhelm the two Ghost Race members, all started plotting.
And the two Ghost Race guards tensed up instantly upon hearing this, secretly exchanging glances.
If it’s just letting a few people pass, it can still be explained, but if all these Human Race members enter...
Then the two of them could just wait to get beaten up!
Thinking of this, they immediately shot a wary look at Aster Grant.
If this human really intends to help, they can only fight with all they have.
However.
Aster Grant did not even pause his steps, walking directly toward the depths of the Trial Grounds.
If it were Veronica here today, he wouldn’t mind helping.
But with these Council members in front of his eyes...
Forget about it!
....
Outside the Sanctum.
Stryker approached Zane Drake with a solemn expression and reported in a low voice:
"Just received news that the number of Demon Clan in the Demon Domain has multiplied several times! Not only have many Commander Levels appeared, but even multiple Monarch Level auras have been detected!"
Upon hearing this news, Zane Drake’s brow furrowed tightly.
Since the Human Race settled in Baelgard, the Demon Domain has never shown such activity.
Those from the Demon Clan always avoid battle, which forced them to implement the bait plan.
But now...
Not only Commander Level Demon Clan but even Monarch Level Demon Clan have appeared in significant numbers!
This situation was clearly unusual!
Why did it have to be now?!
Zane Drake’s gaze involuntarily shifted to the entrance of the Sanctum, a terrifying suspicion surfacing in his mind:
"Could it be... the Demon Clan is also after the Divine Pattern?"
At this moment, Cavan Vero and the Queen of the Holy See also received the same information.
The three exchanged glances, instantly realizing the seriousness of the matter.
No matter the outcome of the Divine Realm, if the Demon Clan breaks in...
Whoever obtains the Divine Pattern would find it useless!
This applies to the Human Race as well as the Xenos!
"Everyone!" Zane Drake’s booming voice echoed through the crowd.
"Now that the Demon Clan is on the move and the Divine Realm’s contest hasn’t concluded, why don’t we join forces to resist the Demon Clan first?"
The Xenos present, upon hearing this news, thought for a moment and agreed one after another.
After all, the Divine Realm’s outcome was still unknown.
Their clansmen who entered the Divine Realm might have obtained the Divine Pattern.
Now, of all times, they couldn’t let the Demon Clan near the Divine Realm.
But once the Divine Realm ends...
For these Xenos, anywhere in the Alternate Space was livable.
The reason some of them came to Baelgard was only for the Star Stone resources here.
And now, it was clear Baelgard had captured the Demon Clan’s attention.
If they continued to stay, not only would they gain nothing...
They might even lose all their clansmen!
Understanding the pros and cons, these Xenos promptly issued orders!
"Everyone unite and head to the edge of Baelgard to intercept the Demon Clan!"
After leaving the Sanctum’s entrance, Zane Drake also realized...
This group of Xenos couldn’t be relied upon for sure!
Once the Divine Realm ended, these Xenos certainly wouldn’t continue resisting the Demon Clan!
Therefore, he turned to Stryker and gave orders:
"Have every Monarch Level in Draconia head to Baelgard and stand by!"
Baelgard still had two Divine Realms unopened; if the Demon Clan took over here...
The consequences would be unimaginable!
And Stryker dared not delay, immediately returning to Azurea with Zane Drake’s orders.
With imminent battle, there’s no room for hesitation!
