“No race can survive!”
Ji Chen nodded slightly. “You don’t need to worry about that. I’ve obtained a batch of demonized creature-congealed Demonic Blood Pearls. After leaving here, I will deliver them to the orderly races.”
“No, that won’t work,” Lainekel quickly shook his head. “The demons have prepared in advance. Those Demonic Blood Pearls will quickly dissipate once they leave this realm, and they won’t last long enough for you to cross the ocean and reach the land.
And I don’t believe that just a few pearls can convince the orderly races to set aside their conflicts and fully prepare for battle.”
Was there really such a thing?
Ji Chen furrowed his brow. It seemed that the demons weren’t afraid of them obtaining Demonic Blood Pearls by slaying demonized creatures. Besides having confidence in keeping them all trapped here, they had also employed such tactics.
“How can we deliver such a message then?”
Lainekel scratched his bald head in frustration as he contemplated. “What should we do, what should we do? Leaving aside the elves, even humans might not believe it themselves. If we ask them to come here and see for themselves after we leave, no, no, the demons aren’t fools; they will surely destroy the evidence in time…”
Just as Lainekel was deep in thought, Ji Chen suddenly spoke up.
“Lainekel, I have a good plan, but I need your help.”
Lainekel was taken aback. “Go ahead and tell me.”
“It’s you.”
Lainekel looked puzzled. “Me?”
Ji Chen nodded. “The Demonic Blood Pearls might not work, but your existence, having been transformed by the Dreadlord, appearing in the main world with this half-human, half-demon body, is enough to prove many things.”
Lainekel’s eyes lit up. “You’re right! I’m the best evidence!”
But then, his expression darkened suddenly as he asked, “Are you sure I won’t be killed on sight the moment we meet?”
Ji Chen pondered for a moment. “There’s a possibility.”
However, Lainekel hesitated for a moment, clenched his fists, and said, “Even if that’s the case, I accept it! I must get this message out; otherwise, my countless years of suffering would have been in vain, wouldn’t they?”
Ji Chen was filled with admiration. While Lainekel’s words sounded casual, his expression didn’t reveal any abnormality. However, Ji Chen could sense the agony and torment hidden beneath the surface.
Although he had never witnessed the demon alchemical transformation process firsthand, seeing Lainekel’s current condition made it clear that the process must have been excruciatingly painful.
Countless years… just thinking about it felt incredibly long.
Ji Chen wanted to say something, but he saw Lainekel suddenly tremble, his hand involuntarily picking up his longsword. “Damn it, how can it be so soon… Balzarna is already activating this body. Damn, there must be surveillance creatures nearby!”
Lainekel’s face contorted severely as if he were forcibly suppressing his instincts. His fists clenched, and his teeth were almost shattered. “I can’t hold on much longer. Even though I don’t know your name yet, you’ve reached the Above-Epic Tier at such a young age and have so many high-ranking heroes under your command. You must be extraordinary.
Please, right now, kill me and take my body to the mainland, to humans or elves, as long as it can prove that the demons are about to invade.”
Ji Chen was not one to hesitate. Seeing Lainekel struggling to control himself, he furrowed his brow and once again raised the Sword of Warlords, swinging it down heavily towards Lainekel.
A golden crescent moon-shaped sword qi suddenly shot out, carrying a deadly intent.
However, this body had been altered beyond recognition, and Lainekel couldn’t suppress himself completely. The blood-red color once again dominated his eyes, and he raised his longsword to block.
The longsword in his hand, after countless strikes, finally shattered under this blow.
Ji Chen didn’t hesitate. With his left hand, he prepared a second strike. A water blade, imbued with the power of the ocean, descended from the sky, silent and swift as a shadow.
Lainekel, who had regained his killing personality, didn’t have time to evade or use spatial jumps. He was stabbed straight through the heart.
His body stiffened suddenly, the light in his eyes slowly fading, and he collapsed to the ground, losing all signs of life.
Seeing this, Ji Chen breathed a sigh of relief. After a moment, as if he remembered something, he wondered, wait, why didn’t the system provide a kill confirmation prompt?
“Be careful; he’s not dead yet!”
Several heroes who had already let their guard down snapped back to attention upon hearing Ji Chen’s words.
Several pairs of eyes remained fixed on the seemingly lifeless Lainekel. However, to their surprise, he slowly rose from the ground, his expression somewhat bewildered.
Huh? I’m not dead yet?”
