Chunua intended to add that if one did not enhance their strength soon, the next to perish would be Xiao Yinshu.
But she was silenced by a glare from Chinfong.
Are you both at royal level now? Xiao Yianua asked uncertainly.
To clarify, we are level two royal.
Chunwear replied, raising two fingers earnestly.
Xiao Yinshua felt a shiver just days prior when she first encountered them.
Chun had merely been a newly promoted level eight commander only two levels above her.
Now, while others have already attained level two in the king rank, I find myself stagnant in my progress.
Xiao Yinshua cast another glance at Bayou's information, level five in the king rank.
Yet, she had always believed that Bayou had only recently ascended to the king rank.
How could it be that in the blink of an eye, she had reached level five? It is utterly infuriating.
They're all a bunch of anomalies advancing far too swiftly.
Even the demon lord is merely at level two.
My brother's message is quite straightforward.
If I do not strive harder, it will all be in vain.
Chinua seized the opportunity to gently remind Ziao Leian of this fact.
At that moment, Bayou also informed them that the corpse summoning was complete.
Let's proceed to Aman city.
Our leader entrusted this task to us, and if we failed to accomplish it, having her intervene personally would be quite embarrassing.
Wouldn't he? Chapter 278.
A game after the departure of the two siblings.
The vast city of the undead was left with only by you.
She unfurled the map of the Gata Empire, which illustrated the distribution of powerful factions in the vicinity.
In the northern region, she marked the frigid snow mountains with a cross.
With the demise of the frost giant dragon.
To the east of the empire, specifically the south of Bayou City, lay the goblin kingdom.
Further south, there were no formidable races.
Yet, there existed a self-governing human city which housed a branch of the sanctuary.
Although it nominally fell under the jurisdiction of the empire, in reality, they lacked the authority to oversee the sanctuary.
As the minions of the angels, Bayou harbored a profound disdain for them.
However, as a branch entity, it was beyond her current capacity to provoke, even if she attained the rank of sovereign.
Take for instance the division of the mage association in the Andy Holy State.
Morgus, the vice president, was a nine-star archage, a pinnacle sovereign level powerhouse, not to mention the president and others of comparable stature.
The strength of the sanctuary's branch was self-evident.
Consequently, Bayou designated this area as a forbidden zone, precluding any further southward movement.
The westward route was equally unfeasible as crossing the frigid snow mountains would lead her into the Gata Empire, a human kingdom bolstered by the mage association which wielded immense power to add to her credentials.
By was also an honorary mage.
To the east lay the dark forest while the northern territories remained an enigma to her.
If she wished to develop in the Marshall state, she was left with only these two options.
Of course, there was also the Hapuni state where formidable races were scarce and the factions were largely of mid-tier strength, making it highly conducive for growth.
This was one of the principal reasons why many top lords congregated there.
In stark contrast, in a powerful place like the Andy Holy State, lords barely had room to thrive.
Even the luckiest of them would struggle to develop.
It was indeed a challenging situation.
Perhaps it was best to explore the dark forest first.
Bayou was hesitant to venture too deep, fearing she might become lost within its depths.
Instead, she intended to observe the periphery to see if she could uncover any clues.
Logically, her city's territory extended into the outskirts of the dark forest.
With many trees having been cleared by the system, did the races within possess no spirit to retaliate? Or were the true secrets concealed deep within? Bayou did not exhibit excessive caution.
After all, numerous undead and the warriors of the siblings were present.
If there were any issues, they would have arisen long before.
How could something peculiar occur the moment she entered? At that moment, in the Bedell state, a fierce battle raged at top a canyon.
A group of shadowy figures clashed with enormous rock giants and fiery beings.
Not far from the battlefield, at the very edge of the canyon, stood two imposing castles.
One man, slender and with a stern visage, gazed intently at the distant conflict, his expression grave.
Beside him stood another man, robust and seemingly simple-hearted, equally furrowed in thought, lost in his own contemplations.
These black creatures, akin to the undead, were immortal and impervious to ordinary means of destruction.
Lyn Jean discerned the underlying issue.
They were volatile and frenzied, devoid of any semblance of civilization.
They were not a race, but rather akin to puppets under some control.
Thus, it was highly probable that they were the minions of a lord.
Otherwise, they would not have launched such an immediate and reckless assault upon their appearance.
A vexing predicament indeed.
They were on the brink of ascending to the king level.
Yet, they had encountered these creatures.
We must tread carefully.
Shir Yao spoke in a low, somber tone.
The once united alliance of five had now dwindled to just the two of them.
Fong Sha, having guided them away from the desolate plains, had fulfilled his duty and subsequently withdrawn from the Elemental Alliance, his current whereabouts unknown.
Do not fear.
As long as there are no king-level foes, we shall not face insurmountable troubles.
Lyn Jan reassured Shir Yao.
The enemy's numbers were not overwhelming, nearly comparable to their own combined forces.
Those crimsoned black monstrosities were resilient, but their elemental beings were not so easily vanquished.
Yet, their lord had yet to make an appearance, and Shir Yao was concerned about the presence of the master behind them.
With billions of lords and a vast expanse of Per's state, there were only a handful who had reached the king level.
It was not a cause for alarm.
You are right.
How could we possibly be so unfortunate? Lynhan consoled Shir Yao.
Just then, a voice tinged with intrigue echoed from behind them.
Startled, the two turned swiftly, readying themselves for combat, they beheld a sinister figure clad in black, perched upon a castle s surrounding wall, casually resting one leg over the other, surveying them from above.
"Who are you?" Lyn Jan inquired, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead as he demanded an answer.
Their castle was fortified with barriers, and this intruder had effortlessly breached them.
His strength was undoubtedly at the king level.
Damn it, how can we be so unlucky? Allow me to introduce myself.
I am the demon lord Du Yong, also known as achieving enlightenment instantly.
Du Yang floated down gracefully, landing with an air of nonulence, gazing down at Lyn Jun and Shir Yao with an amused expression.
To him, the commander level was nothing but trifling, easily extinguished at his whim.
You are that demon lord.
Lynhun and Shir Yao were drenched in sweat.
Have you heard of me? Duyang<unk>s delight was evident.
Meanwhile, Lyn Jan and Shir Yao felt the weight of immense pressure.
The demon lord was not only a king level entity, but also one of the most formidable among them.
During the previous lord wars, aside from the renowned by you, few lords were remembered by name.
and Du Yong was evidently one of those few.
However, he did not attack immediately, suggesting an opportunity for negotiation.
Lynhen swiftly assessed the situation.
What do you desire? Resources, crystals, or troops? We can transition to freedom fighters, provided you grant us a chance to escape.
Lynhan s demeanor was not one of cowardice.
Although both were level 9 commanders, possessing half-step king level strength, whether they could contend with Du Yong was uncertain, but they certainly could not hope to stop him should he choose to flee.
