Chapter 69: Blue Lake! Royce’s Misstep
Chen Rui initially had the intention of dragging the time and recover his injury. Seeing Royce falling out now, he had long prepared for this in his mind. He shouted, <Aura Blade>!
Royce had just witnessed Chen Rui sliced Mikas into half with his secret move, so he didnt dare to underestimate. He quickly focused and waited for it. He didnt expect it to be a fake move; Chen Ruis figure had quickly run in the opposite direction.
Royce smiled with despise. His body swayed slightly and he quickly followed up. Royce gradually began to understand Mikas feelings previously. This Aguile, or the guy who should be called Chen Rui was quite hard to deal with. Before advancing to Higher Demon, his speed barely reached the early stage of Higher Demon, so Royce couldnt bother. Now, although the speed after advancing was still slightly inferior from his, Chen Rui was really cunning. He actually couldnt intercept Chen Rui at once.
However, Royce wasnt worried as Chen Rui wasnt escaping toward the city. If he truly escaped to the palace in the city, and he was protected by Princess Royal, Shea, then even Royce wouldnt dare to act recklessly.
Now that his opponent was seriously injured and flustered. With such a full-speed escape without considering stamina, he should be exhausted soon. Royce had rich experience; he was confident that his strength could defeat Chen Rui easily, so he wasnt rushing. He followed calmly and patiently waited for the moment his opponent exhaust to launch an attack to capture him.
Chen Rui was lack of aura; he couldnt exchange any more black potions. Besides, he just took the Healing Potion not long ago, so drinking another potion would be ineffective. He could only run desperately. Finally, the familiar blue lake appeared in front of him. As he ran forward at full speed without considering his stamina, his injuries were bleeding severely, especially the most serious wound on his right chest. Even with the passive ability of <Astral Form>, it couldnt heal in time.
Royce! Chen Rui suddenly stopped, turned around and shouted, Stop chasing me!
Oh? Finally, you cant run anymore? Now, you dont even have the energy to use your secret technique right? Royce who was behind Chen Rui stopped and looked at Chen Rui who was panting. Knowing his opponent was a spent force, Royce didnt rush, Did you finally think it through? You dont want to suffer anymore? Or are you ready to fight for the last time? From your performance when you face Mikas, youre a very tenacious guy. The latter option might be most probable. I want to remind you that I am not Mikas; you have no chance.
But I can give you a chance, Royce shrugged. To be honest, I admire your strength and wisdom, no matter what your identity is and whats your purpose, as long as you sign the master-servant contract and surrender to me, I can spare your life. Perhaps I can even help you achieve some objectives. This is your last chance. Ill give you a minute to consider. If you refuse, I will not hold back and I will attack at full force.
I will also give you a minute to consider, surrender or die, Chen Rui was panting; he actually laughed too. He pointed at the lake, Do you know why I escape to the blue lake?
Royce shook his head and sighed, Dont insult my wisdom. Deliberately mystifying thing doesnt make any sense. Are you telling me that you can summon the blue lake sealed dragon to kill me? Actually with your current strength, even if you angered me, you couldnt catch any opening. Now, you have 40 seconds left to consider.
Paglio! Chen Rui suddenly screamed, Dumb*ss, if you still dont show yourself, then Ill suicide!
Paglio? Royce frowned, Is that the name you gave to the dragon sleeping in the blue lake? Dont waste
Royces intelligence was extraordinary. According to common sense, there was really no chance for Chen Rui in his current situation. The problem was that this human being couldnt be judged by using common sense at all. Thus, smart people could also be fooled by their own intelligence.
Before the words were finished, a loud voice sounded at the back of Great Demon, Such an awful human, you actually used such a way to threaten a dragon. Youre like the first one in history.
Royces facial expression changed drastically. With his ability, he actually didnt realize when did the man come to his back. Then he thought of the blue lake dragon, the demonic fire on his body blazed and he activated his teleportation talent without hesitation. Royces first reaction was not to fight but to escape. If that dragon truly woke up, then not to mention the Higher Demon, even the higher level Demon King would be no match.
Royce teleported at full force and appeared more than 10 meters away. However, the voice still came behind his back, Poor grim reaper, why dont you teleport again for Master Paglio to see?
Royces heart gradually sank; he slowly turned around. He saw a man with short, dark hair and brown skin grinning. Royce snorted and his demonic fire shone. Two red longswords appeared in his hands which instantly turned into an overlapping, huge red flower-shaped like the famous red demon-eating flower in the Demon Realm, covering Paglio. He went all out at his first strike.
However, this huge flower shattered instantly, and the poison dragons voice sounded.
Using your ultimate move at the beginning, your judgment was pretty accurate. Unfortunately, youre too weak!
Subsequently, smashing sound was heard while Royces figure had already flown up and fallen hard on the ground right in front of Chen Rui. Royce was covering his mouth while he panted. He clenched his teeth to stand up; the fire on his body had become dimmer.
Royce reacted very quickly. He wanted to hold Chen Rui as a hostage, but Paglios figure appeared again in front of him, kicking him into the air, then he heavily smashed the Great Demon to the ground in mid-air. That seemingly casual attacks had already heavily damaged Royce. He could no longer stand.
Chen Rui finally understood how powerful Paglio was. Due to the seal, he was only at the power of a Great Demon King. If his seal was dispelled, he could
In the Demon Realm, Paglio wasnt the only 1 that possess Demon Overlord strength. The Raizen the Great of Bloody Empire was the strongest Demon Overlord in the Demon Realm while Catherine the Great of Dark Shadow Empire was also of the same strength, not to mention the scary man who sealed Paglio. Now, Chen Ruis enemies were just the Higher Demons. After this, he would definitely face Demon King, Great Demon King, Demon Emperor
Chen Rui wasnt afraid of this, but he was full of fighting spirit. As long as he persisted and worked hard, becoming a legendary strongman wasnt a dream. Currently, he had successfully reached Mizar state, and he had killed the Great Demon, Mikas; whereas just a few months ago, he was only a powerless weak man.
Hey! Stop daydreaming. The poison dragons voice interrupted Chen Ruis thoughts, Is this the Great Demon that you mentioned? Hes so vulnerable. If we kill him, then we dont have to worry about the war contract right?
Not him; its another Great Demon, Chen Rui shook his head and reached his hand out shamelessly. Give me a Jade Pearl. Cant you see Im dying?
Not only Jade Pearl could detoxify, but it also cured the wounds. It was much more effective than Healing Potions. Besides, Healing Potions were low-level potions with relatively long cooling time. It was still on cooldown, so drinking it would be ineffective.
Why are you still so energetic when youre dying? Didnt you say you want to suicide? Why dont you die in front of me now?
Although Paglio said that, he still threw a Jade Pearl over and looked at Chen Rui for a while. His voice suddenly became surprised,Your current strength is Higher Demon?
Yeah, I just have advanced not long ago, and I even killed a Higher Demon. However, this guy was very cunning; he only came out at the last moment. I was almost caught by him. Chen Rui swallowed the Jade Pearl and frowned, Youre so stingy, only gave me one! Also, this thing tastes really bad. Cant you improve it?
Do you think this is a sugar pill? Such an insatiable guy! Paglio looked annoyed, Within 2 months, you actually advanced from Intermediate to Higher Demon! Why do you always have such good luck? You can even acquire something so rare like the grand masters inheritance! Oh right, like what you said, the good things are wasted on you!
Royce who had fallen to the ground didnt faint. He wanted to risk using teleportation to escape again, but he was in an enfeeble state; he couldnt use his strength. It should be some kind of deadly poison by the poison dragon. Besides, none of Paglios words didnt shock him when he heard that.
The blue lakes poison dragon actually broke the seal already and awakened!
Aguile really is the human, Chen Rui!
The relationship between the poison dragon and Chen Rui is absolutely not simple!
It takes only two months for Chen Rui to advance from Intermediate Demon to Higher Demon!
What is the grand masters inheritance? Could it be, the actual grand master isnt Aldas but
How many shocking secrets is this powerless-looking human hiding
However, Royce also knew that for the poison dragon to said so many secrets in front of him, the poison dragon undoubtedly not going to let him live.
If I had known earlier, I should have killed Chen Rui at full force on the way. It was useless to regret now, but he didnt want to accept it.
Master Poison Dragon. Royce thought for a while and finally spoke, Im not a guy who isnt afraid of death, but Im not willing to die like this. If Im willing to surrender, will you let me live?
In the Demon Realm, surrendering to the strong wasnt a shameful thing, especially a powerful dragon like Paglio.
Paglio looked at Royce curiously, then he nodded and said, Your strength is slightly bad, but your reaction and brain arent bad; I can accept your surrender.
As Royce just took a sigh of relief, he heard the poison dragon changed his tone, pointing at Chen Rui and saying, However, the master that youre signing the contract with isnt me but this guy.
Royces eyes were filled with anger; he lowered his head in silence. Paglio noticed Royces contradiction, and he said, Do you think that this human is weaker than you, and it is a humiliation to surrender to him? I can assure you that he can easily trample on you after a month.
Royce thought Aguiles rapid progress and the challenge with Arux after a month, his mind finally began to change. At this time, the poison dragon exposed something surprise again, I tell you that even the contract signed between me and this guy isnt an equal contract but a symbiotic contract! An average person can carry only one contract, but this guy is an absolute freak as he has already carried two contracts with him.
Royce was shocked, looking at Paglios serious face in surprise. His eyes then fell on Chen Rui: What power does this human have that he can make the poison dragon, a dragon-race strongman sign the symbiotic contract! Doesnt that mean his life is a few millions of years long?
The poison dragon even told such a secret. It seems that if I dont surrender, I will really die.
I have my own glory and persistence. Royce took a deep breath and supported his body to stand up. He looked directly at Chen Rui, If you can promise me one thing, I am willing to be your servant. If not, I would rather die to maintain my glory.
