Free Web NovelChapter 2495: Chapter 1098: Terrifying Divine Nature Reward
Like a bone plunderer, a mass of pale clouds descended upon the flock, the Frollo Demons squawked in terror, scattering to the surroundings, not daring to confront it.
Another reason they were uninterested in slaughtering the undead was that their two special abilities, Poisonous Spore Cloud and Shock Scream, were ineffective against it.
If they didn’t successfully control the enemy, once grounded, their combat effectiveness would decrease significantly, and they would become prey.
"Submit to me! I will present you with endless prey, the whole plane will become your hunting ground!"
The bone plunderer’s method of control was far cleaner and sharper than the bone slaughterer’s, leaving behind pale powder that resembled ashes wherever it went.
The pale bone ash powder clung to the Frollo Demons, immediately seeping into their bodies.
Visible changes occurred instantly; their eyes turned pale, along with their bodies, accompanying the shift in color, and they no longer fled from the bone plunderer but squawked and followed it.
They charged towards those Frollo Demons that remained untouched.
Yet, such Frollo Demons were a minority, torn apart and devoured by their own kind in the blink of an eye.
Plunder Control.
This is the new divine ability awakened by the bone plunderer after ascending to demigod status.
Frollo Demons are a kind of transcendent demon, usually winning in numbers rather than quality.
The bone plunderer’s control over them was simple and easy.
This social demon has the traits of social creatures - herd mentality.
The bone plunderer didn’t need to control them completely, just a small part as the leaders, and the rest would naturally follow.
Especially when the bone plunderer transformed into a skeleton tornado, slaughtering with abandon, the twisted enemies were scattered into the air, and the following Frollo Demons were caught in a frenzy, not allowing the enemies or their corpses a chance to touch the ground, clawing and tearing, completing their meals mid-air.
These Frollo Demons may seem unremarkable before the bone plunderer.
In reality, they are large demons; perhaps unable to lift a sturdy bull into the air, but easily seizing frail horses, not to mention medium-sized creatures they could take with a single swipe.
Compared to on-ground, they preferred airborne feeding.
The bone plunderer commanding these Frollo Demons was only a matter of time.
"You are the fastest I’ve ever seen in my life to ascend, within just half a year, you seized an old demon’s territory and fashioned three demigods, which many old demon lords cannot achieve, remaining loners despite their long development." The Queen of the Succubi spoke with undisguised envy.
She herself is one among many old demon lords.
Though her forces had numerous powerful demons, none reached demigod level.
"Spread your divine power a bit, create demigods loyal to you," Gaven targeted the problem, "Trying to retain all benefits for yourself makes it difficult to forge strong subordinates."
"Holding the divine nature force in your grasp is the safest choice, otherwise, no matter how close the relationship, one day betrayal for greater power is inevitable." The Queen of the Succubi spoke from experience.
For her charm and desire divine office was stolen from the hands of three primordial demons, sparking a war dubbed the Battle of Flesh.
At first, she was weaker and sought refuge under her succubi sisters, gaining favor and trust, seizing partial divine power.
Indeed, she was the betrayer, using betrayal to consolidate charm and desire divine offices upon herself, becoming the queen of all succubi.
Being such a beneficiary, trusting anyone was unthinkable, including her own children.
Though not as numerous as Mother Demon Cang Ye’s offspring, nor as notorious, her children were several; among them, the most famous was Lord of Broken Domain Red Shroud.
Besides, many in her territory with succubi bloodline could trace back to her.
Yet these demons often lacked familial regard; maintaining close ties were few, mostly tools or turning hostile, battling for strength.
This is tied to demons’ selfish nature and their endless lifespans.
Without fear of death, they naturally don’t comprehend carrying on a legacy, nor do they pave paths for successors like humans.
"Here lies the crux," Gaven helplessly shrugged, "Unable to trust them, naturally unable to share power, remaining solitary is as common as can be? There’s never a perfect solution, it’s the path you choose."
He spoke freely, unaffected.
He had little trust among these demon lords, indifferent as his ambitions lay elsewhere.
Retaining them himself was wasteful, better to arm subordinates for greater benefit.
