Chapter 870 - Nobody leaves!
GDK 870: Nobody leaves!
Logue’s arrival had terrified many of the observers. They scurried away to keep a distance from the Sovereign.
As Logue did nothing to deliberately hide the mighty aura on his body, the two battling overgods sensed his presence as soon as he reached the Pandemonium. Both Salas and Ossora were shocked and grew wary when attacking each other. They were afraid that the treacherous Logue might launch a sneak attack on them.
Sovereign Wasir arrived a few hours after Logue. His arrival caused chilling winds to blow over the Pandemonium and the surrounding temperature to drop.
When Logue and Wasir showed up at the Pandemonium, many of the bystanders felt threatened and made a distance from them. While some decided to leave, some hid behind narrow slits on mountain walls and other places to watch the fight.
“Haha, I couldn’t have imagined this – Salas and Ossora fighting over a nobody! It seems the Fringe has been peaceful for far too long. Everyone’s looking for a little excitement,” remarked Logue with a faint smile as he gazed at the battle.
Wasir turned his frigid gaze at Logue who was hovering nearby and calmly remarked, “Ossora failed to see the bigger picture. How foolish of him to help an outsider.”
Logue turned to Wasir and beamed. He said, “The way I see it, helping that youngster is just an excuse. I reckon his real intention is to show everyone that he’s stronger.”
Upon hearing those words, Wasir groaned and disdainfully said, “That’s very sneaky of Ossora. But if he defeats Salas, are you going to seize the opportunity to fight him?”
Logue seemed stunned. He shook his head and answered, “I’m too busy to do that, but it sure sounds like you are interested in doing so. You should go ahead with it!”
“Huh? Why have you two stopped fighting?” cried Logue, making a fuss about nothing. “The battle isn’t over yet! Salas, this isn’t how you usually behave!”
“Wasir, and you, Logue, have the two of you forgotten what you’ve promised?” shouted Salas as he glanced angrily at the two Sovereigns who had been passively watching the fight. He stared ferociously at Logue as he said, “Didn’t we have an agreement? Why didn’t you assist me?”
Logue chuckled and replied, “Oh yes, we have agreed to help you, but keep in mind that we only said to help you against the outsider called Bryan. We have never promised to help you fight Ossora. Hehe. Besides, I have been friends with Ossora for as many years as I have been with you. How could I do something so unfaithful to my friend?”
Ossora put on a fake smile as he listened to Logue’s false words. After Logue finished talking, Ossora smilingly said, “Alright, I think it’s time we all go home.”
By now, even Salas felt so ashamed of his failures that he no longer wished to destroy the Pandemonium but to leave the scene as soon as possible.
“Just you wait, Ossora, I will find you at your underground palace very soon!” threatened Salas coldly before he gestured and commanded his troops, “Return to the Empyrean Peak!”
Those followers of Salas hung their heads dispiritedly. As followers of Salas, their interests were directly impacted by their Sovereign’s downfall. Those recent months had been absolute shit to them. With so many of their comrades having perished and their Sovereign Salas having appeared weaker than Ossora, they wondered if they could still live prosperously in the Fringe.
“Nobody leaves without my permission!” a roar suddenly sounded from a distance. Then, a majestic figure appeared in the blink of an eye, hovering proudly above the Pandemonium.
“It’s you! You have finally shown up!” Salas who was just about to leave suddenly turned angry. He stared at Han Shuo with great hostility, as though ready to pounce on him.
“I said, nobody leaves!” shouted Han Shuo coldly before his seventeen flying swords whooshed out. Some of those innocent bystanders who had gathered from all over the Fringe to watch the fight were trying to flee. A dozen of them were instantly killed by the flying swords, among which were three highgods.
The other spectators who planned on ignoring Han Shuo and fled this dangerous area were terror-stricken. No one dared move a muscle after seeing a dozen something experts liquified in an instant.
Han Shuo’s eyes glistened with chilling lights as he hovered loftily above the Pandemonium. He expanded his consciousness, looked all around, and carefully surveyed the environment. He inwardly heaved a sigh of relief after discovering that the Pandemonium was mostly intact and that the Pandemonians were safely hiding deep underground.
“Logue, Wasir, you have promised to help me kill this outsider!” shrieked Salas.
Logue and Wasir wore astonished expressions while staring and sensing the wild, sinister energy on the young, handsome expert who had been in the limelight. The two Sovereigns seemed hesitant.
