Episode 14: Demons Chapter 18: Moon Lake

“Linley, it’s that bald guy named Crompton. He’s here too.”

Delia also noticed the familiar figure.

Linley clearly saw that this Crompton had entered this metal life along with the other earthly demons. Just. These demons had all entered the front compartment of the metal life.

“Those participating in the demonic examination. All of them are in the back compartment, those demons. Are all in the front compartment.”

Linley was slightly relieved in his heart, but even so, Linley still felt worried. “What are these demons doing mixing in as well?” Demons were mixed in. Linley didn’t actually care.

What he cared about was that amongst this group of demons traveling with them. Surprisingly, there was that Crompton.

By Linley’s own admission, he hated this Crompton. And it was the same in Crompton’s mind, if there was a chance. He definitely wouldn’t mind killing Linley to vent his anger.

“A Crompton, if we really put up a fight, the three of us still have a glimmer of hope.”

Crompton had only refined his Godhead to reach Upper Godhood. It was also considered the weakest ground amongst the Upper Gods.

Refining the Godhead. The soul was not nurtured by the ‘Laws of Heaven and Earth’. The soul would be weaker in nature.

Although Linley was a Mediate God. However, because of the fusion of the ‘earth pulsation’ and ‘earth elemental’ law arcana. Soul attack. It was ten times that of a normal Medium God. Linley’s soul attack. It was enough to put Crompton’s life in danger.

However, ……

Linley wasn’t completely sure, after all, the other party was an Elder God. Comprehending all the arcana in the elemental laws. Even if none of them were fused, they couldn’t be underestimated.

“Dealing with this Crompton. If Bebe and I put up a fight, there is still hope. But …… this Crompton isn’t alone, he has friends!” Linley’s brows furrowed, and that was what worried Linley the most. “It’s not inside the city now. Rather, it’s outside the city. There’s no ban on fighting grounds. Once that Crompton finds out about the three of us, he might retaliate!” Thinking about it. Linley didn’t know how to respond! “Damn, there are so many demons. How did it so coincidentally. Got together with this bald guy!” Linley couldn’t help but curse angrily in his heart as well.

Although his heart was on fire, he had to face it! “No matter what, right now we can only hope that we don’t let that bald guy. Find us.”

Linley silently hoped in his heart.

This was also possible.

After all, Linley and the others were in the back cabin, then Crompton and the others were in the front cabin, and it would be fine if everyone didn’t meet.

“Linley.”

Delia looked towards him. There was a hint of worry in her eyes.

“Don’t worry.”

Linley said softly.

Bebe looked towards Linley. Although Bebe was playful. But he wasn’t a fool, and he understood that that bald guy had also gotten involved. How bad things had gotten. Bebe immediately said in a soul transmission, ”Boss, if we really run into trouble. I’ll deal with that bald guy! Although I’m not sure I can win. I’m not sure I can beat him, but I can pester him for a while. I’m still sure of saving my life.”

Linley gave Bebe a somewhat surprised look.

Bebe had only been in the Middle God realm for a few decades, but he had the certainty to pester an Upper God? Even if the other party was in the Refined Godhead land.

“True ground or false?” Linley had a hint of a smile in his eyes.

“Hmph!” Bebe raised his head with a flourish. The divine sense transmitted a voice. “Boss, I’m the second God Devouring Rat in countless realms! You can’t underestimate me!” Bebe was able to easily digest the God Grid. How could he not have some special skills.

The metal being set off! “Whew!” Slicing through the sky, a purple-black giant phantom instantly disappeared in the sky outside the gates of Emperor Wing City. It was just a black dot hidden in the distant sky. In just the blink of an eye it was completely invisible.

A large group of people within the metal beings all looked outside through the transparent windows.

“What’s going on. We still don’t even know about the assessment mission until now.”

Bebe muttered.

“Don’t be anxious.”

Linley said with a faint smile.

A woman with short silver hair sitting on Linley’s other side spoke, “This demonic examination mission. That all have a fixed location, and it’s definitely going to be very far away from Emperor Wing City. It’s probably going to be a long time on the road. The people from this Demon Castle. Naturally, there’s no rush to tell us about the Demon Examination Mission.”

Linley nodded secretly.

“My name is Linley.”

Linley smiled and greeted this short silver-haired woman.

This silver-colored woman with short hair was also wearing silver-colored ground clothing, and her entire person appeared clean and sharp. She took a glance. There was a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth, “My name is Regina. Mr. Linley, these two next to you are with you, right!” Regina was also clear. In the Demon Examination. A few people joining forces would increase the likelihood of success by a lot. If she encountered danger during the examination. If others slightly helped her out, that could change fate.

She also wanted to get on good terms with the Linley trio now.

“Yes.”

Linley nodded with a smile. Beside her, Bebe’s eyes glowed as she stretched her head this way, “Miss Regina. Your eyes are so charming. Ah. I forgot to introduce myself, you can call me Bebe.”

As soon as Regina looked at Bebe, Bebe’s quirky eyes immediately attracted her, “Bebe. Your eyes can be even more charming.”

Bebe instantly smiled even wider.

“Miss Regina, do you know why those demons are traveling with us as well?” Linley spoke the doubts in his heart, “It’s the Demon Examination Mission. Those who have become demons. Come along with them as well. ……”

Regina shook her head, “I’m not too sure about that.”

“Oh.”

Linley could only bury his doubts in his heart.

The metal being flew for an entire day, and when it became dark, the personnel from the Devil’s Castle finally arrived at the rear cabin.

“The people from the Demon Castle are here.”

Regina spoke.

Immediately, all three of Linley’s people sat up straight. Raising their heads, they looked towards the three people standing at the very front of the rear cabin. Those three people were precisely the organization personnel that the Demon Castle had sent this time, and at the head of them was the silver-haired old man.

“Everyone!” The silver-haired old man wore a smile on his face as he said aloud, “Those who are participating in the Demon Examination this time. There are a total of one thousand people! I’m sure everyone knows. This Demon Examination process is extremely dangerous. The probability of death is extremely high! But everyone still came …… at least in terms of guts. You guys are enough to become demons.”

The silver-haired old man’s face became serious: “But enough guts is not enough. Strength is also needed!” “This time the examination location. It is a place that is more than thirty million miles away from Emperor Wing City. It’s called Moon Lake! According to the speed at which the metal beings fly. It is estimated. About a month’s time. It will be able to arrive at the destination.”

The silver-haired old man said aloud.

At this moment. There was silence in the metal life’s back chamber.

The one thousand Mediate Gods who participated in the Demon Examination listened carefully.

“It needs to be stated for the record that this Demon Examination mission. It’s not something that our Demon Castle created on purpose.”

The silver-haired old man’s voice echoed in the rear cabin, “Anyone who is more familiar with demons. Should know that demons can pick up some tasks at the Demon Castle! These quests are graded!” “As for your assessment missions, they are the ones we have selected from a large number of missions. It is a one-star mission that is suitable for you!” The silver-haired old man solemnly said, “As long as you complete this mission, you will naturally be one-star demons!” “As for the detailed description of the mission. Lorraine. You say it.”

The silver-haired old man stepped aside. This one was called Lorraine, that one enchanting beauty in black robes.

Lorraine’s voice was clear and bright, “Mission location. Moon Lake! There is an ancient castle on this Moon Lake, and the owner of this ancient castle. The strength is very terrifying. He has a butler. Ten black-clothed guards as well as hundreds of gold-clothed guards!” “Your mission is to kill one of the gold-clothed guards. Remember …… after killing a gold-clothed guard. Bring the gold-clothed guard’s space ring. That is, that ‘Moon Ring’ to the Devil’s Castle, only this Moon Ring. Can only prove that you have completed the mission!” “Of course. You can take the property and such stored within the Moon Ring yourselves.”

Narolin smiled and said, “I’m done.”

At once, the entire aft cabin clamored. Everyone was discussing with each other.

“Quiet.”

That silver-haired old man said aloud.

Everyone’s voices lowered as well.

“If there is any doubtful ground, you can say it.”

The silver-haired old man opened his mouth.

Immediately, a burly green-robed man with a height of three meters stood up. In a loud voice, he said, “My lord. You said that the proof of mission completion is that ‘Moon Ring’, do all the Golden Clothes Guards have it?” “According to the intelligence. All of the Golden Clothes Guards should have it, even if the space ring on his finger is not the Moon Ring. There should also be a Moon Ring placed within that space ring.”

The silver-robed old man smiled lightly, “However, special circumstances cannot be ruled out.”

“So. If you guys kill a Gold Clothes Guard. Only to find out that this Gold Clothes Guard does not have a Moon Ring. Then you can only count yourselves unlucky. Without the Moon Rings, you won’t be affirmed by our Demon Castle.”

The silver-haired old man teased. “However. The Golden Guard not having a Moon Rings, this situation is definitely rare.”

The burly man sat down.

Regina, the short silver-haired woman sitting beside Linley, stood up, “My lord. You said. The master in that castle is so powerful, and he has stewards as well as black-clothed guards! You just told us to kill the gold-clothed guards. Those black-clothed guards and the master of the castle won’t just let us do it, right?” Linley’s heart fluttered.

In fact, Linley wasn’t the only one. The people in the rear cabin who had discovered that the demon was also traveling with them had also guessed the answer.

“This time, those of you who set out for Moon Lake are not the only ones, there are also some three-star and four-star demons, and even a five-star demon squad.”

The silver-robed elder smiled faintly. “Estimation. When setting out. You guys also found out that a group of demons came as well.”

“Indeed!” Linley was already certain of the answer in his heart.

The silver-haired old man continued, “The mission they took on. It is to deal with the black-clothed guards, the steward, and that castle master!” Based on the introduction ground of the Demon Castle personnel, Linley and the others had guessed. That gold-clothed guard should be of intermediate god strength, while the black-clothed guard, the butler, and the castle master were all of upper god strength. After staying in the metal life for a full thirty-two days, they finally arrived at their destination.

“After you guys get out, just proceed a few miles to the south. You will be able to discover the Moon Lake.”

The silver-haired old man said aloud in the rear cabin, “This is not Emperor Wing City. Life and death killings can happen at any time, everyone one by one should be careful, we will wait for you here quietly, if anyone succeeds in obtaining the Moon Rings. Then you can go back to the metal life.”

Everyone remained silent.

Everyone felt a wave of depression! There were a thousand people who came to participate in the Demon Examination. The ones that might go back alive. How many of them will make it back alive? The data from the previous Demon Examinations has already shown how dangerous this Demon Examination is.

Devil’s Castle. Since this mission was chosen as the assessment mission, the difficulty would definitely not be state＼.

“The people in the front cabin have all gone down, you guys go down too!” The silver-haired old man indifferently said. “By the way, as a word of advice, not only should you be careful of the people from the Moon Lake, you should also be careful of the people who are also participating in the Demon Examination. Many people didn’t die during the mission. But were killed by people from the Demon Examination, which I’ve seen many times.”

Linley’s heart shook slightly.

Indeed, if someone else didn’t get the moon ring and they got it themselves, it was quite normal for someone else to sneak attack and kill them to take the moon ring.

After all, this wasn’t Emperor Wing City! “Let’s go.” Linley, Delia, and Bebe also followed the crowd through the corridor gradually heading outside. The group of people bustling about gradually descended into the metal life.

And at this moment, on the vast expanse of land outside the metal life. There were twenty to thirty demons gathered there. Among them, that bald ‘Crompton’ was standing in front of his friend. He was still casually looking around, but his gaze suddenly stopped moving.

“Eh?” Crompton stared at the metal life passage entrance.

There was more than a hint of a smile on Crompton’s face, “I didn’t expect the three of them, to be amongst this batch of Demon Examinations. That’s quite a coincidence.”
