Chapter 366 - Legendary Devil
The banquet bustled with noise and excitement. Civilians were partaking in delicious food and dancing to the lively music. The nobles, on the other hand, were impeccably dressed as they traveling back and forth between the palace halls.
Starlight and Cole Falcon, the winners of the midsummer festival, received much attention from the nobles. After all, their victories brought much prestige to the King’s Party — especially the newcomer Rhode. Not only did this young man attain Legendary in his twenties, he also had a beautiful face and was well-versed in noble etiquette. Since they sensed that the young man had unlimited potential and knew that he was clearly on their side, their attitude towards him was naturally warmer than usual.
But Rhode didn’t fancy these social interactions. After waddling through the waves of nobles who wanted to congratulate him, Rhode left Marlene and Lize to handle the rest of the troublesome matters since they were the ‘professionals.’
However, that didn’t mean that Rhode had free time to himself.
“To be frank, it surprised me a little, Master.”
Gillian waved her tail; her eyes revealed a distinct trace of astonishment.
“Even little Lydia couldn’t cure Christie? That’s not something normal.”
“Yes…”
Leaning on the wall and gazing at the bustling crowd below, Rhode let out a long sigh, rubbing his forehead. He no longer felt the satisfaction like he before when he won the tournament. In fact, from the start, Rhode only had one wish, and that was to treat Christie’s body. Although she wasn’t his blood-related sister, Rhode saw the likeness of his own sister within Christie.
Meanwhile, Elemental lords were the representative of their own Elemental Planes of Existence. Whereas the Archangels and Four Legendary Generals belonged to the Light and Dark Dragons respectively.
Some players even suspected that the Six Devils were related to the Judgement and Ruling Twin Dragons, but they were proved to be wrong in the end. Thus, no one clearly understood their origins.
As their job was to guard the entrance of hell, when the players entered the Sealed Path towards hell, they encountered the mobs left behind by the Six Devils. These mobs were of the highest class; they held at least a Servant or Guard rank and represented the might of the Six Devils who hadn’t appeared in person before. Therefore the players concluded that unless the demons or devils entered the Sealed Path, the Six Devils wouldn’t appear.
The Six Devils were extremely mysterious; even the walking library Rhode had little to no knowledge of them. However, Rhode still felt that this theory was highly possible.
Ultimately, there was no doubt regarding the might of the Six Devils. Some players even complained about the difficulty of the mobs. The highest level Archdemon was at most level 80, and the mobs placed at the entrance was at least level 68 and above. Wasn’t that too outrageous?
For demons, if they can’t dominate using raw strength, they would try to outwit. Perhaps that would be why the Devil Worshippers tried to devote Christie to the Archdemon. If Christie had a devil’s bloodline, she would’ve been the best sacrifice as the devils could use a method to awaken the bloodline in her body and take over her mind.
But if Christie truly had devil blood flowing in her, it wasn’t good news. After all, Christie didn’t belong to a devil race and didn’t possess the tough body that devils inherently had. Anne was a half-beast; and although her beast bloodline was forced, beast blood and human blood had a high possibility of integration.
However, the devil’s bloodline was different as it overflowed with dark energy which was highly incompatible with humans. That was the difference between Anne and Christie. One could run around and play actively while the other would always fall sick even under a light breeze.
Dark energy could never go hand-in-hand with the living, just like a cold wind blowing against the flames of life.
Rhode had thought that it was only an ordinary demon bloodline, but after Lydia’s failure, he knew that it wasn’t the case any longer. So what would happen to Christie in the future?
Rhode’s head started to ache.
