Chapter 493: Chapter 492: Meeting up
"Why did you kill the maids?" Azar asked, his expression neutral.
His emerald eyes dimmed as the traits on his body slowly disappeared bit by bit.
"Think."
An ominous voice was heard.
"Necessary... is that it?" Azar spoke as the voice vibrated inside his head.
"Yes..."
The voice was heard once more.
Azar closed his eyes, and when he opened them, the emerald eyes were gone.
"You will never come out again..." Azar spoke as he sighed.
And so he stayed like that until morning came.
Step by step, Azar walked back to the base.
By the time he reached his tent, Mela was already awake. She crouched in a corner like a ball, shivering.
"Hey, Mela," Azar, now back to normal, said excitedly as he put on his best smile.
But Mela trembled when she heard his voice.
She barely moved, and Azar felt a pang of heartache, but he still smiled.
"You wait here. I will cook for us," Azar said hurriedly as he moved and began preparing food.
At this time, Mela raised her eyes.
Still naked, she looked at Azar as tears dropped from her eyes before she lowered her head once more.

Far away, in another world.
Two beings with chaotic auras were having a face-off.
Kravos looked at the High-Level Rank 0 Demon before him as the two armies stood behind their respective leaders, silently watching what would happen.
This was most likely a battle for power and a contest to determine who would become the leader among them.
As for the soldiers, they simply had to watch.
Once the winner was decided, they would follow.
"We still need more. We alone won’t be enough," Nuk said as he looked at the huge demon before him.
Kravos smiled.
"You are not confident in your own strength," Kravos muttered as Nuk frowned.
"It’s not about being confident. One must be cautious."
"A Super City isn’t like the ones we have been destroying."
"There might be beings as strong as us, if not stronger, there."
Kravos laughed, the sound echoing across the battlefield like rolling thunder.
"Careful? Since when did demons become careful?" he mocked.
Behind him, thousands of demons roared in agreement.
Nuk’s expression remained calm.
"This isn’t caution born from fear."
"It’s caution born from intelligence."
Kravos’s smile faded slightly.
"Explain."
Nuk crossed his arms.
"We’ve conquered dozens of cities already. Small cities. Medium cities. Border fortresses."
"And every time we won because we were stronger than the defenders."
He pointed toward the distant horizon.
"But a Super City is different."
"The population alone exceeds several billion."
"The resources are endless."
"The number of Magi stationed there is beyond anything we’ve encountered."
Kravos snorted.
"So what?"
"So?" Nuk repeated.
"Do you know how many Rank 0s could be hidden there?"
"How many ancient families?"
"How many old monsters?"
"How many defensive formations?"
His eyes narrowed.
"You are treating this like another city."
"It isn’t."
Kravos remained silent.
Nuk continued.
"One mistake and we lose everything."
"Our armies."
"Our conquered territories."
"Our momentum."
"The opportunity Lord Vakim created for us."
The surrounding demons exchanged glances.
Many of them hated admitting it, but Nuk wasn’t wrong.
The cities they had conquered until now were insignificant compared to a true Super City.
Kravos finally sighed.
"You always think too much."
"And you don’t think enough."
The two stared at each other.
For a moment, the atmosphere became tense.
Chaotic energy leaked from their bodies.
The ground beneath them cracked.
Several weaker demons hurriedly retreated.
Then Kravos suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha!"
" you are a coward high level demon"..
Nuk rolled his eyes.
"And you are a muscle-headed idiot."
That only made Kravos laugh harder.
The tension instantly disappeared.
The two armies relaxed.
One of Kravos’s commanders stepped forward.
"Then what do we do?"
Nuk looked toward the horizon.
"We gather strength."
"More armies."
"More high level demons."
"More information."
"Then we strike once and erase the city completely."
Kravos nodded.
"Now that sounds better."
A battle involving a Super City should shake the entire world.
Anything less would be disappointing.
Just then...
BOOM!
The sky exploded.
Thousands of demons instantly raised their heads.
A massive rift tore open across the heavens.
Chaotic energy poured out like a flood.
Nuk and Kravos’s expressions changed.
"Another army?" Kravos muttered.
"No..." Nuk narrowed his eyes.
"Several armies."
The rift expanded further.
Soon countless flying beasts emerged.
Then came gigantic warships forged from black metal.
Then came dragons. freewebnoveℓ.com
Then wyverns.
Then entire floating fortresses.
Millions upon millions of demons began pouring out.
The sight alone caused countless demons below to gasp.
At the front stood a towering demon covered in crimson armor.
A massive axe rested on his shoulder.
Beside him was a female demon wrapped in black flames.
Behind them stood several other powerful figures.
Every single one of them radiated the aura of a Peak Rank 0.
Kravos grinned.
"Hahaha! Looks like someone heard our conversation."
The crimson-armored demon descended from the sky.
The moment he landed, the earth sank dozens of meters.
His gaze swept across Nuk and Kravos.
"So you’re the ones causing all this chaos?"
Nuk stepped forward.
"And you are?"
The demon grinned.
"Lord Varkhan." freewebnøvel.com
He pointed behind himself.
"My army."
Another figure landed.
A woman with silver horns.
"Lady Selene."
Then another.
"And Lord Malthor."
One after another.
Powerful Demon Lords descended from the sky.
Ten in total.
Each commanded armies numbering in the millions.
Nuk’s eyes widened slightly.
Even he hadn’t expected this.
Kravos looked delighted.
"Now we’re talking."
Varkhan planted his axe into the ground.
"We received word."
"Someone is preparing to attack a Super City."
"We came to join at the order of lord Vakim"
Silence fell.
Then thousands of demons began roaring.
The sound shook the heavens.
Nuk looked at the gathered Lords.
Ten Demon Lords.
Countless armies.
Millions upon millions of demons.
For the first time, he could truly see it.
The possibility.
The destruction of a Super City.
A slow smile appeared on his face.
"Then it seems..."
He looked toward the distant horizon.
"...we finally have enough."
And far away, beyond countless mountains and rivers, a colossal city stood proudly beneath the sky, completely unaware that ten Demon Lords and tens of millions of demons had just set their sights upon it.
