Competing with summoning scrolls

"Then leave your head here" Nether king and directed a tier 2 curse at Xuanyuan. A magic array appeared above him as multiple chains lunged at him but the chains struck air as Xuanyuan appeared at another point.

"Violence isn't necessary my King" Xuanyuan said politely.

"Shut up! bastard!" Nether king growled as he casted another curse. He's dissatisfied that a puny Master could dodge his attacks. But Xuanyuan was like a slippery entity, with a light step he dodged Nether king's powerful attack.

The infuriated raised his staff and casted multiple spells at once but Xuanyuan didn't even need to unsheath his sword to deal with the spells. Even the nearby Silver king was stunned watching the scene before him. No one knew how strong Nether king is better than him and he knew how tough he is especially when infuriated but a tier 2 Master could still toy with him to this extent, even he couldn't achieve this feat.

Five minutes went by, but Xuanyuan was still engaged in a battle with Nether king and the latter was still wholly unable to land a hit on Xuanyuan. All of his movements were so perfect that it appeared as if he knew exactly how the next attack will come by. Even Nether king wasn't sure he can survive so long against himself.

Nether king was thoroughly infuriated at this point.

"I don't believe I can't land a hit!" Nether king growled as suddenly stopped chasing after Xuanyuan. He closed his eyes and a Magic scroll that gave of dangerous vibes appeared in his hands. Seeing this scroll, even Xuanyuan had a serious look on his face as he quietly unsheathed the sword before him.

If it was a ordinary Magic scroll, Xuanyuan won't even look at it, but this time it was a tier 3 summoning scroll that could be used to summon an actual tier 3 Demon Emperor in battle. Although the summoned creature is only at tier 3, it can actually exhibit combat power beyond it's tier making it tough to deal with. Even Emperors will have to act cautiously when the scroll is activated. What baffled him is that the Dominion sect actually gave such a precious item to Nether king just to ensure that he successfully acquires the treasure. This made him wonder what's exactly contained in the carriage.

Silver king went pale once he recognized the Magic School. It seems the Dominion sect is determined to take the treasure from the Myriad storm sect. Silver king is the strongest among them but he's only a tier 3 King. He can fight against Nether king but he'd no chance with the Summoning scroll in his hands. Maybe he could successfully defend earlier but he'd expended multiple trump cards fighting other attackers so he's currently helpless Nether king.

But Xuanyuan's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"I can bring you safely to Myriad storm sect" Xuanyuan said.

"Really?" Silver king asked ecstatically. He didn't know why he just trusted this tier 2 youth before him.

"Yeah. But you have to do something for me later" said Xuanyuan.

"What's that?" Silver king asked warily.

"We'll discuss that later" Xuanyuan said and stepped forward towards Nether king who was currently activating the tier 3 Demon summoning scroll.

"You want to compete with summoning scrolls? Let's see who's scroll is better" Xuanyuan snickered and brought out a Magic scroll also and began activating it.

Meanwhile, space shattered in front of Nether king as a portal appeared in space and a five metre tall Demon stepped out.

<Demon King (tier 3) level: 110>

HP: ????

Nether king was satisfied seeing the Demon King who bowed to him and awaited his command.

"Kill them" he ordered.

"As you wish" The Demon King muttered and strode towards Xuanyuan and the NPCs from Myriad storm sect.

"How do you want to die?" The demon King muttered as it eyed Xuanyuan and the others as if it's looking at a bunch of dead vegetables.

"I should ask you that question. Maybe if you kill those ones there, I might spare you" Xuanyuan said but he wasn't hoping to achieve anything as a summoned creature will only take orders from its summoner unconditionally.

"Preposterous!" As expected, the demon King spat angrily, condensed a spear and threw it at Xuanyuan who effortlessly flicked it away with his sword.

"Not bad" the Demon King raised an eyebrow.

"Now let the game begin" Xuanyuan said.

At the same time, a spatial portal similarly appeared before him and a spear wielding figure stepped out of it.

<Valkyrie (tier 3) level 100>

HP: ????

"Valkyrie??" Silver king exclaimed in shock behind Xuanyuan. He'd racked his brain trying to figure out how Xuanyuan will take care of the Demon King but seeing the spear wielding Valkyrie in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if the Demon King can exhibit power beyond tier 3, it still cannot threaten Emperors. But a tier 3 Valkyrie could. To take down a tier 3 Valkyrie, several Emperors would have to work together. This was because a tier 3 Valkyrie possess tier 4 Mana control and can cast a complete Mana domain. Against such an expert, tier 4 Emperors can only leverage on their attributes to contend against it unless they can similarly cast a Mana domain. A tier 3 demon King stands no chance against a Valkyrie of the same tier.

As expected, it only took a few minutes for the demon's HP to cross the 50% mark and it's still decreasing steadily even under support from tier 3 Healers. It stood no chance at all.

Nether king watched all this with ugly eyes. He couldn't believe that even with the summoning scroll, he still couldn't seize the treasure from the Myriad storm sect.

"You've gotten yourself an exceptional helper this time" Nether king remarked icily and took his group away leaving the demon to buy time for them...
