Chapter 518

Chapter 518

"Welcome to my domain. Will I have to force you, or will you come out on your own?"

Muller's voice echoed through the battlefield, causing the battle to pause and everyone to focus on Emperor Muller.

"Oh, it seems we've been discovered."

Suddenly, two figures appeared in front of Duke Gamion.

One was Duke Cassandro, and the other was a demon, standing three meters tall with a single horn on his forehead. He had no wings, but his aura was terrifying.

"Demon!"

The people were shocked to see a real demon, which fear-filled them.

When Gamion demonized himself, he didn't look as terrifying, but now a true demon stood before them, causing fear deep in their hearts.

Duke Cassandro quickly gave a pill to Gamion to heal his injuries.

Both were cautious of Muller's domain, knowing he was skilled in lightning attacks, a weakness of demons.

Lightning and Holy magic were effective against demons, and the Lightning Empire could thwart their demon lord's plans.

That's why the Metal Emperor targeted the Lightning Empire and even sent his son to provoke them.

"You are good, Emperor Muller. I didn't expect you to reach the peak of Transcendental Being so quickly."

The demon looked at Muller with greed, thinking he must have found a treasure or opportunity to gain such strength.

He had heard that Muller was on his deathbed but now saw him alive and well. The demon wanted to torture him and learn his secret.

The two Dukes were stunned by his words, unable to believe what they heard.

Their human race had never produced someone who reached such a level, and they didn't expect Muller to do so as a human, while their emperor reached the same level by selling his soul to the devil.

Gamion smiled bitterly, realizing he had been foolish all along, knowing even his full power couldn't defeat Muller.

Muller smiled and said, "Hehe, don't call me Emperor. I am reborn, and I am a loyal servant of Chaos God." Muller proudly patted his chest and looked at them with pride.

"Chaos God?"

The demon and the two Dukes were puzzled.

They knew that calling oneself a God would provoke others with the same title, as only one God of a category could exist, and they had never heard of such a God before.

"Is he stronger than our Demon Lord? Chaos God is nothing."

The demon laughed, confident in his demon lord's power.

"Hehe, your demon lord is an ant in front of our God." Muller mocked them.

"What arrogance! I can occupy you alone, but what if the other two Dukes kill your people? Can your domain hold for long?"

The demon smiled dangerously, but Muller smirked and said, "Try it."

Muller waved his hands, expelling the soldiers of both empires, leaving only four figures inside the domain: himself, the two Dukes, and the demon.

This way, he could maintain his domain for a longer time. He wasn't worried about his troops outside because a terrifying figure was watching the scene, marveling at their holy son's strength to send such a figure with him.

Even the old man didn't show any fluctuation, but his eyes alone scared Muller, even at the peak of his Transcendental being.

He learned from Dave that the old man's name was Eldrich, and as long as Eldrich was there, no soldier would die, and he could even revive them at the brink of death.

Dave didn't want to disturb Eldrich, who liked making pills and elixirs, but when Dave broke through, he learned Eldrich also reached 70 soul flowers and gained a new skill, surpassing his previous self when he was a Transcendental being.

Eldrich had reached 55 soul flowers before and was treated as a genius, but now he broke through, and all his past accumulation erupted, amplifying his spiritual energy many times over.

As for the new skill he got, it was a terrifying ability that even at the peak of his life, he could not comprehend.

It was also related to the blessing of the Chaos God, which allowed him to acquire this skill.

<Chaos Transfiguration>

As long as he can see the core of someone's soul, he can turn them into a pill.

All their strength will turn into nourishment, and he can create a terrifying pill made from their life force.

Muller, on the other hand, didn't want to rely on Eldrich while battling the two Dukes and the demon, as he wanted to show Dave he was worthy of the Chaos God's power.

Dave didn't mind because even though Muller respected him, he still had his pride as a warrior wanting to fight on his own.

The demon failed to notice Eldrich's presence, thinking the Metal Empire soldiers were enough to destroy the Lightning Empire's army.

After all, their numbers were higher, and they were on their own battleground. Some of the soldiers were already demonized and could self-destruct if near death.

Muller ignored the soldiers outside his domain and looked at the three figures in front of him.

His domain remained cast, and he formed a seal to prevent their escape. His domain mastery was above theirs, and the three struggled to get out.

"Now, let's start the real battle." Muller smiled before drawing his sword.

..........

Meanwhile, on the other side of the region, soldiers lined up, waiting for the opponent to appear.

The two Dukes were also waiting atop the 60-meter walls, their prestige at its peak, making the soldiers respectful of them.

One was Duke Olino, one of the strongest Dukes in the empire, respected for thousands of years.

Duke Olino was arrogant, even daring to disrespect the emperor, yet he was not punished because his strength made the emperor wary, and his loyalty to the empire was unwavering.

He even beheaded a prince who tried to rebel.

On the other hand, Duke Bestan was a young Duke, promoted by the emperor five years ago, the youngest Duke in history.

Though already 3,000 years old, and considered young in the celestial plane, no one underestimated him because his prowess was formidable.

He was hotheaded like Duke Olino, challenging all the Dukes before, losing only twice and drawing with others. He lost to Duke Olino and to the head of the 8 Dukes.

"Hehe, I can't wait to test my blade. It's eager for blood."

Duke Bestan smiled, his black saber radiating killing intent, frightening nearby soldiers.

Bestan was a bloodthirsty maniac, his attitude fitting well with Duke Olino, who also enjoyed fighting stronger opponents.

"The Lightning Empire is arrogant, thinking they're still at their peak."

Duke Olino shook his head, everyone knowing the Lightning Empire was once among the strongest, along with the Blazing Sun Empire.

However, their strength deteriorated yearly as they rejected the power of devils.
