Armipotent



Valky was on the other side of the wall, witnessing the strongest fortress in the demon kingdom was demolished by three individuals. The buildings were on fire, and the demon soldiers' roars and screams filled the air. Never crossed her mind this would happen a few minutes ago, and she was the one who brought these people who destroyed this fortress.

She was not in a good condition to help too. Half of her face was burned, the skin in her right-hand bulbing, recovering from the burn. She also almost died.

"I know you can escape from Sis Rosa," Then she heard a familiar voice from the side. She recognized the voice, the youngest man of the three players.

Lu An stood six meters away from him, holding a red sword in his right hand. Blood dripped from the sword, an indication the young man had killed many demons with the sword. He expected Rosalie would not be able to kill Valky, and he had been waiting outside while looking for the demoness. It was not because Rosalie was not strong enough, but because of Valky's ability. Valky would not be able to kill Rosalie for sure, but it should not be an issue for her to escape too. His prediction came true, and here, he found his real target.

"You are quite weak for a Myth Rank, not even realizing that's an illusion," Valky heard the voice from behind her. The red sword pierced her chest and her eyes widened. Then Lu An who stood six meters away, his figure slowly dispersed into the shadow.

"I think you are underestimating me too much, youngster," Valky's figure melted as she appeared behind Lu An. She was holding a black dagger, swinging toward Lu An's neck, "I will at least take your life before leaving."

The black dagger reached the neck, but Valky could not feel the resistance as the dagger went through the neck. There was no blood or flesh, but the figure was just a blurred shadow. That was just another illusion made of shadow.

Lu An came out from below her, immediately grabbing Valky's neck. At the same time, the shadow surged up toward Valky's legs, reaching up to her waist. That locked her up, preventing her from using the same technique as before when she escaped from Rosalie and Lu An's initial attack.

"It seems it was you who underestimated me," Lu An smiled, "Do you have any last words? I guess not," He did not wait for her answer, of course, swinging his sword to the jaw, intending to kill the demoness in one hit.

A pair of feather wings burst out from her back as the shadow locked her up and was dispersed. With a single of her wing, Lu An blew away from her. She used her bloodline transformation. Her eyes turned yellow while her pupil turned black. Her eyebrow turned feathery and grew longer.

Lu An stabilized, getting on his feet. The grin on his face grew wider, getting more excited, "This is what I have been waiting for. I don't like killing a helpless chicken."

"Tch. It seems it was a mistake to appoint you as the head of the Intelligence Division is a mistake," Tang Shaoyang landed right before Lu An followed by Rosalie. He did not expect Lu An to be a battle maniac like Karan.

"I think he learned that from you," Rosalie commented. She could tell that Tang Shaoyang had a big influence on the young man. Even though she did not stay as long as Zowen as his spirit, she could tell that her man was a quite battle maniac. It was just some time he could overthink it which Lu An did not have.

Valky's eyes fell on the figure in Tang Shaoyang's hand. She expected Commander Gustav to be defeated, but she did not expect him to be captured this fast. The limbless demon was the leader of the demon army, the strongest demon after the Demon King himself, yet Gustav stood no chance in front of this player. It did not take that long for her to figure out that the player might be stronger than the demon king.

"You have two choices. Be my subordinate or be killed!" Tang Shaoyang raised his hand, signaling Lu An not to fight her for a moment. That was the reason he interfered after noticing the fight through the Spirit Eyes. He figured out that he needed her as a guide. No one could do a better job than her since she should know more about the demon territory than the other demons.

"Don't! Don't listen to him, Valky! Remember His Majesty's generosity for you and your family! You can't betray him! Don't you dare betray him! Go die, Valky! Kill yourself if you don't want to be like me!" Commander Gustav yelled despite his situation.

"What a weird way to persuade someone," Tang Shaoyang was amused, "What's your choice!?"

Valky wanted to run away the moment Tang Shaoyang came, but she hesitated. She did not know if she could escape from Tang Shaoyang or not.

"What's you get for me? There's no way you expect me to work for you just because you threaten my life," The demoness replied. There was something she wanted from Tang Shaoyang based on an answer which was easily understood.

"VALKY! YOU DARE TO BETRAY HIS HIGHNESS!?" Gustav let out a furious roar, calling her name. But the roar was less intimidating with his condition. That was nothing, just a barking dog in front of Valky.

"Family… It seems you have a family you treasure. Your life and your family, that should be enough, right?"

"That's not enough."

Tang Shaoyang raised his eyebrow, "I don't think you are in the position to negotiate here, Valky."

"So what? What's the point of you not killing them if the next players that come here will kill them?" Valky sneered, "I am not that stupid. You want to destroy the demon kingdom, and if the kingdom is destroyed, who will protect my family from the players and the humans? You, destroying the demon kingdom is no different than the demise of all demons in this realm!"
