Chapter 1095 1095. The Kings Of Hell
While they were talking, a spatial distortion happened at the edge of the map. Jack immediately readied his weapons, but Yvok told him to relax.
“There is no need to worry,” Yvok said.
Two satyrs appeared from the spatial distortion. One male and one female. The female was holding a pipe similar to the one Yvok used earlier. Slung on her back was a long staff. The male was bare-chested but from his waist downward he was garbed with armor. He had a long cleaver strapped beside his waist and a buckler on his back.
The minute the two appeared. The two little nightmares immediately ran over to them. Sol ran to the female satyr who petted the nightmare affectionately, while Fira jumped onto the male satyr’s chest. The male hugged Fira with a laugh.
“They are my son and daughter, Tenka and Yrin,” Yvok introduced to Jack. “They are also the main custodians to those two little ones.”
Jack used Inspect on the two. Both were rare elite. Tenka was level 70. Yrin was level 72.
“Father,” Yrin greeted Yvok.
“Yrin. Let me introduce. This is Pandora whom I often mentioned to you,” Yvok said.
“It’s great to finally meet you, ma’am,” Yrin said to Pandora. Pandora replied by neighing. The two continued chatting. Jack was amazed at how the two enjoyed their chat while they both used completely different languages.
“Father,” Tenka greeted his father after putting down Fira from his embrace.
“This is Mister Storm Wind,” Yvok introduced Jack to his son. “He is an upworld dweller. Pandora brought him here to help us out with the situation with Luna.”
Tenka studied Jack for a while and said, “You are an outworlder.”
“I am,” Jack replied.
Tenka turned to his father and said, “What can an outworlder do? I am higher level than him. You should have let me and Yrin go to rescue Luna.”
“No! We have talked about this a lot of times. You two are the main custodians to Sol and Fira. If anything happened to either of you, their growth would be affected.”
“If we failed to bring back Luna, it will be even worse. You know they need their mother’s essence to grow. It is our job as their custodians to make sure that their mother is returned to them.”
“I have said it before, and I’m not changing my mind. No!” Yvok uttered.
“You are one stubborn fool!” Tenka scolded.
“Tenka! That is not the way to speak to our father!” Yrin chided.
“Hmph! It’s pointless to speak,” Tenka said and barged off. He also had the same pipe as Yvok and Yrin. He was now blowing his pipe and using the spatial distortion to exit this place.
“I will talk to him,” Yrin said. She ran off and joined her brother who entered the spatial distortion.
Yvok sighed heavily after the two left.
Jack said to him, “Actually, the two of them have good levels and grades. It will help if they come with us to save Luna. We might need a local’s guide to deal with certain things.”
Yvok shook his head. “I’m afraid I can’t let anyone from my village accompany you… When I told Tenka that he can’t go because he is a custodian, it is only an excuse. The real reason I don’t let him go is that I don’t want anyone to connect Luna to our village. Even more so the demons of the underworld empire. If they do, the demons might come searching. If they learned about Sol and Fira, they will take those two away.”
Pandora neighed, to which Yvok responded with, “Thank you. That is reassuring.”
“What did she say?” Jack asked Peniel.
“She said, don’t worry. Storm alone is enough for the task. He will surely bring Luna back.”
‘Damn it! That is a bold thing to promise without asking me first,’ Jack grumbled in his mind.
“How strong is this Hell Baron anyway?” Jack asked.
“He is a level 60 special elite demon,” Yvok answered.
“Oh? He is weak! Then no problem, sir. We will have Luna back in no time! Hahaha…”
“Though he is not too strong, he is a Hell Baron. He has many demon soldiers guarding his manor. From what I learned from the satyrs I sent to scout his manor, he probably has more than one hundred demon soldiers, with levels ranging around 50 to 70 and grades around elite to rare elite.”
“Hm… I don’t see any problem,” Jack said. “As long as Luna is truly there, we can just barge in with brute force and save her.”
“I’ve not yet finished,” Yvok said. “He also has two demon bodyguards. Both are mythical grades. I’m not sure about the level but might be around level 60 or 70.”
“Oh, now that is more problematic… But still manageable,” Jack said. He had Arlcard and Therras who were both also mythical grades. Even if the enemies were higher level, they should be able to hold back those two demon bodyguards. He and his royal guards could take care of the other soldiers and then free Luna. After that, they could work together to finish the bodyguards.
Jack then thought of something. “Wait, is Hraghshu’s manor in a town full of demons? If so, then it’s a big problem. I doubt the demons will just let a human like me waltz in, won’t they?”
“No, they won’t. But don’t worry, Hraghshu’s manor is out in the wilderness,” Yvok answered.
“That’s a relief. Then all I need to worry about is the two mythical guards.”𝑵𝑶𝒱𝑒𝐋𝒏𝖊xt.𝓒𝑜𝔪
“Unfortunately, those bodyguards are not the most worrying matter,” Yvok said.
“What?! Are you saying there are stronger being than those mythical-grade bodyguards that I have to worry about?”
“There is,” Yvok said. “You see. The reason why a weak Hell Baron like Hraghshu has two mythical grade bodyguards is that he is the son of one of the six kings of hell.”
“Kings of Hell?” Jack asked.
“The underworld empire is ruled by seven devils,” Peniel explained. “The emperor of hell, Lucifer, sits at the top. Ruling under him are the six kings of hell.”
“I’m surprised that you know so much about the underworld, Miss Peniel,” Yvok praised. “Hraghshu is the son of one of them, Mammon.”
“If Hraghshu is such a big shot’s son, why is he only a Hell Baron in the middle of nowhere?” Jack asked.
“Because Hraghshu is too weak. Mammon is disappointed with that son of his. But even so, he is still his son. I’m sure he put some kind of rune diagram to warn him if anything happens to his son. When that happens, it is possible that he sent a stronger demon over or maybe even come by himself. Mammon is a level 95 eternal-grade devil.”
