CURSED IMMORTALITY

Chapter 910: Trouble Knocking on Door! (3)

An imposing figure suddenly walked out of the darkness as the eerie voice trailed off. He was clad in full-body pitch-black armor with a skeletal crown on his head filled with ethereal crimson hair like ghostly flames, and his infernal crimson eyes were filled with cruelty, and his skin was dark gray and his face demonic as if a demon from hell.

This was the Black King of the Demon Race, and his might wasn't any lesser than Shadowless King, if not mightier, and he was also one of the Legendary Kings who were behind the demise of the Cursed Necromancer King!

Seeing the Black King, the Shadowless King's expression was awful because his fear had come true. If this was some other legendary king, the Shadowless King wouldn't even spare a glance and instantly turn hostile and attack them.

But the Black King was different, and unlike the Shadowless King, he was a necromancer who was only slightly inferior to the previous Cursed Necromancer King, and even that because the Cursed Necromancer King had the Throne of Death.

Many people, including the Shadowless King, believed that if the Cursed Necromancer King and Black King had fought without the Throne of Death involvement, there was no way the Cursed Necromancer King could defeat the Black King, who was a natural-born necromancer while the former was not!

Furthermore, Shadowless King had been careless, and now the Black King had heard everyone Elia had divulged to him.

Still, Shadowless King wasn't going to give up on the Throne of Death so quickly as he coldly said, "Black King, you have some guts to infiltrate the Alchemy Guild's territory wantonly! This is a clear provocation against the Life Faction!"

Black King seemed nonchalant and snared disdainfully, "Since when did the Neutral Faction care about the matters between our Dead and Life Factions? Furthermore, aren't you doing the same? The last time I checked, this isn't the Star Ocean either, so before showing your hypocrisy, you should check the facts. Oh, my mistake, I shouldn't blame you; after all, the entire federation's brains are probably damaged because of collecting space dust in the star ocean!"

Shadowless King's eyes shone with killing intent as his soul pressure spiked, but the Black King was still unafraid and looked at him with provocation.

In the end, the Shadowless King didn't attack since, just as the Black King said, this was neither the Dead Faction nor the Star Ocean; if they started fighting, they would probably end up destroying the Myriad Galaxy City.

This will not only earn them the enmity of the entire Life Faction, but it'll also alert the Myriad Galaxy King, and he'll most definitely flee. If the Myriad Galaxy King fled and entered the stronghold of the entire alchemy guild, no one would be able to harm the Myriad Galaxy King.

Because there was a massive range of teleportation channels in the headquarters of every faction, they could be used to call reinforcement throughout the legendary plains in case someone attacked them.

Although the Alchemy Guild was weak at combat, it was only one of the three organizations of the Life Faction, and because of their alchemy treasures, many would jump at the chance to help him and get some benefits.

That's why, despite its lack of combat might, the Alchemy Guild was the most troublesome to deal with among the three absolute factions. Lastly, the Myriad Galaxy King was a King Alchemist, and there were only 16 in the entire legendary plains, so their prestige and status were even scarier despite his lack of power.

The Alchemy Guild would probably go to war if they killed the Myriad Galaxy King since he has a very good relationship with the Alchemy King Council members, who control the entire Alchemy Guild of the Legendary Plains! 

"Since you're not attacking, should I assume you want to handle it peacefully?" Shadowless King no longer tried to use righteousness against the Black King since he knew it would not affect the Black King. 

After all, if another wanted the Throne of Death, even if it meant giving up everything that should be the Black King and Spirit Poison King since both of them had suffered tremendously in the Cursed Necromancer King's hands, this treasure would raise their strength so much that they'll probably step into the half-god realm of legendary, Quasi-Myth!

One had to know there hadn't been any new Quasi-Myth in the Legendary Plains for thousands of years, and those who had touched these realms were hidden. This was the dream of every Legendary King.

The only way to reach it other than comprehending the laws was the Ascension Permit!

Black King's crimson lips rose, revealing his eerie fangs as he said with sharp, killing intent and resolve, "I'm willing to play along until I see the Throne. Once it appears, you better run as far as possible because if you get in my way, I'll turn you into one of my undead demons!"

Shadowless King wasn't surprised by this short truce since he knew, just like him, the Black King didn't want to alert the enemy and lose the chance to get the Throne of Death. After all, he was only delayed because of the Zodiac Beasts, like everyone else.

Since the Black King was here, the Shadowless King also knew the Spirit Poison King or probably even the Holy King might be already on their way. If those guys arrived, this would be a huge mess, so the Shadowless King had no choice but to work with the Black King for now.

While those two mighty existences of the Legendary Plains were scheming and gauging each other's bottom lines, they had completely disregarded the weak Fable Legendary behind the Shadowless King, Elia.

Elia's heart was filled with dread and anger when she discovered there was another one who wanted to harm Jacob, as if the Shadowless King wasn't enough. She had no clue if Jacob could deal with these two together, but she still believed in him.

At this moment, her priority was to stay safe and preserve her life while also making sure that they wouldn't discover anything about Jacob. Since he wasn't here, there was a chance they might leave.

But she felt bitter since she knew the Shadowless King would most likely capture her, and she had no choice in this matter. But she was still willing to follow him as long as she wouldn't implicate Jacob.

'Teacher will be sad, right?' She wondered.

At this moment, the Black King finally glanced at Elia, who seemed quite dejected and in a daze, and curtly said, "This little girl has talent in death law, and another unknown law is somewhat similar to the Spirit Poison King. If you really wanted to turn her into your plaything, you should probably leave before that poisonous snake sees her…hehehe…":

Shadowless King's expression fell while Elia's heart sank when she heard those words, and she took a step back.

Shadowless King quickly retorted, "Shut your filthy trap! Do you think everyone is a disgusting demon like you!?" He then quickly looked at Elia and said, "Don't listen to this demon; he's trying to weaken your mind so he can plan his sigil and turn you into his undead demon slave. Just follow closely behind me; I'll protect you!"

Black King only snickered as he was familiar with the Shadowless King's trickery, but he couldn't be bothered since he only cared about the Throne of Death. Taking advantage of Shadowless King's distraction, he bolted towards the depths of the palace.

Shadowless King's expression changed as he wanted to curse, but he knew the race had already begun, so he quickly dashed after the Black King since he could tell he was going in the same direction where his shadow spirit detection was pointing.

Elia wanted to flee, but she found herself completely immobilized under the Shadowless King's soul force, and then, against her will, she was dragged behind him!
