Eternal Thief

Little Purple was also startled when he heard someone dare to interrupt his lord and cursed out loud, “Impudent! You deserve death for interrupting my lord!”

That cold yet intriguing voice rang again, but it was much closer than before. “Hoho, death, you say? I want to see how a mere servant of a marquis put me to death!”

This time, everyone saw a large silhouette coming at fast speed toward the ocean demon carriage.

Little Purple expression suddenly changed, and Henrik’s eyes finally narrowed when he clearly saw the newcomer.

It was a tall, slender demon. He had long black hair, gray skin, wolf ears, and white eyeballs, and he wore scholarly blue robes, giving an aura of refined scholar. Furthermore, he was mounted on a graceful snow-white wolf that was five-meter tall and had a scary aura, much more powerful than those two crimson fire lions!

At this moment, Henrik does something completely out of everyone’s expectations.

Henrik presented a noble salute, which every noble demon made to a higher rank noble demon. He lightly bends his back as one of his hands was placed on his shoulder while the other hand was crossed back.

“This Marquis, greet Demon Duke, New Moon!”

Everyone’s expression changed after hearing ‘Demon Duke’ and they quickly kneel, including little purple who was trembling.

It was common knowledge on the mighty demon continent that a person without title had to kneel in front of a duke-level noble. Furthermore, this duke didn’t have a tribe name title since there wasn’t a New Moon duke level demon tribe, which means this guy had an authentic noble title that directly belonged to him just like Henrik.

In the mighty demon continent, there were two types of noble titles. One was a tribe title that belonged to the entire tribe, not just one individual, just like Iron Demon Tribe. It was also very hard to gain this noble title because of its unique advantages.

The second type of noble title was Individual Noble Titles. These kinds of noble titles only belong to a single individual and anyone can challenge these individuals for their title in one-on-one matches as long as they had strength and reputation.

However, there was another way of acquiring such titles, which was pure strength and a notable achievement worthy of the title.

This New Moon Demon Duke was such a person who gained his title in this way. He had stopped a large invasion of a foreign race alone in the first outer province, and he had a reputation for being a millennium genius as well.

That’s why he was granted this New Moon Demon Duke Title and permitted to enter the sixth core province, the Mighty Mist Province, under Mist Demon King!

That’s why Henrik was shocked when he saw New Moon Demon Duke in the fifth inner province, so far away from the sixth core province. Because of Henrik’s high status in the ocean demon tribe, he knew quite a lot about this New Moon Demon Duke.

One could say New Moon Demon Duke was Henrik’s goal, he had achieved the demon marquis title after a long time, and he knew just how hard it was to score an achievement for a demon duke title, nor it was easy to challenge a demon duke like New Moon because these kinds of individuals were mostly under Demon Kings!

This New Moon was also one of the Mist Demon King’s subordinates!

New Moon coolly wave his hand and said with a faint smile, “Everyone rises.”

Everyone was respectful and, with reverence, they looked at the New Moon.

“When do we owe such a favor that High Highness New Moon grace this lowly place with his presence?” Henrik politely asked. He knew this guy wasn’t here with kind intention and his lord, Livy, wasn’t here to keep this guy in check, so he had to be careful.

New Moon gently smiled as he said, “Before I answer your question, what are you going to do about this slave who just gives me a death sentence?”

Little Purple shredded when he felt ominous intent in New Moon’s gentle voice.

Before he could kowtow and beg for forgiveness, a blue streak flashed into a little purple’s head, and the very next moment, his lifeless body landed on the dirt.

“He deserved to die for offending a Demon Duke. I hope, your highness, please forgive me for showing such a scene.” Henrik’s voice was still courteous.

When those demons on both sides saw Henrik killing his own servant without any hesitation whatsoever, they felt their throat go dry. This was just too ruthless.

“Hahaha, indeed your reputation precedes you Left Ocean Spear of Ocean Demon Tribe!” New Moon merely laugh and didn’t pursue this matter since the offender was already dead.

“How about you work under me in Mighty Mist Province? I always appreciate talent like yours!” New Moon offered with a gentle smile on his demonic face.

Henrik politely bow as he said, “Those are all just mere rumors, your highness. As for your offer, I have to politely decline since my home is an ocean demon tribe. However, I’m thankful that Demon Duke had such high praise for this little demon!”

“It’s a pity, then.” New Moon didn’t mind Henrik’s answer. He admired this kind of straightforward character the most.

New Moon finally looked at his surroundings and when both tribe chiefs saw this Demon Duke look at their directions with a gentle smile, their heart nearly stopped. They didn’t dare to show any kind of impoliteness, or they will just end up like the lifeless little purple there.

“I’ll be frank with your Demon Marquis Henrik, I’m here on the order of His Majesty, Mist Demon King order to observe this war challenge as an evaluator. What do you think?” New Moon again looked at Henrik.

Henrik was naturally shocked, hearing, and couldn’t help but wonder just what drew the attention of a demon king to this lowly place. Even the Blade Demon King, the ruler of Mighty Black Province, paid little attention to this place.

‘Could it be that thief? Don’t tell me even Mist Demon King is interested in making him his subordinate!’

Henrik could only think of that mysterious thief that could interest a demon king, but Henrik doesn’t understand just why a demon king required a thief, since he probably had far more talented subordinates under him.

“Your Highness, please don’t jest. How could I dare to not allow you to become an evaluator? It’s my honor to observe high highness methods of evaluation.” Henrik quickly agreed.

It’s not like he had any choice in this matter. No one dared to say no to a demon king besides a demon king!

“Good! What do you both think? Do you mind me becoming an evaluator?” New Moon gently smiled toward Elian and Dustin.

“No, no, it’s this lowly one’s owner, your highness!” Dustin quickly sweated and answer. ‘You must be joking. The moment I say no, I’ll be turned into dust!’

“Yes, your highness, it’s my tribe’s honor to entertain his highness!” Elian also quickly agreed.

“Very Well.” New Moon nodded in satisfaction.

New Moon’s expression turned dignified at this moment as he took the evaluator oath, “I, Harold Wolff, titled Demon Duke, hereby acknowledged this Noble Tribe Title War Challenge, and I will be the second evaluator of this war challenge. I pledge in the name of Demon God Baphomet that I will judge this sacred battle impartially and lawfully. If I broke this pledge, I’ll suffer a thousand deaths!

“Let the sacred battle beg…”

“Boom… boom… boom…!”

At this very moment, one after another, eighteen consecutive deafening explosions rang, leaving New Moon and everyone flabbergasted.

Henrik, on the other hand, had a peculiar expression from everyone else. He was ashen when he saw black smoke rising from different locations and also felt something broken in his storage ring!

An exquisite mirror abruptly appeared in Henrik’s hand and when he saw a crack in the mirror, his soul almost left his body!

This mirror was none other than the demon eye formation, the main formation body, which was connected with the small eighteen sources.

Although, the actual demon eye formation was intact as long as this mirror was in one piece. But those eighteen sources were also important since, without them, this demon eye formation loses its enormous range!

Furthermore, because all eighteen sources got destroyed at the same time, the real formation received a huge backlash, and now it was greatly damaged.

Now only a low-Grade-3 Rune Crafter can recover it and create new sources, only if the ocean demon tribe has the blueprints of this formation or this demon eye formation was as good as gone.

Even if they had blueprints of this demon eye formation, it will cost a fortune to hire a low-Grade-3 formation rune crafter because they were all in King Domain.

That’s why Henrik had such a reaction because he knew Duke Livy will not let him off the hook after finding out what had happened to his tribe’s legacy treasure!
