666 Demon (1/2)

As the heart of the Wisdom God, it possessed a consciousness-like instinct. The temptation wasn't inferior to the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras.

To the mages who were fanatically pursuing the path of magic, this was irresistible. At least, before they knew the truth, no mage would be able to resist this temptation.

But these powerful mages who lost their reason and were controlled by their desires ended up being food to Constance's heart, their mana were devoured, alongside their life and soul, becoming a tonic for the heart.

Ultimately, a powerful mage took action and sealed Constance's heart at the deepest part of the Wisdom Tree.

Lin Yun was deathly pale, that thing was a source of misfortune, they absolutely couldn't get close to it. Even a powerful God like Constance was unable to break through that curse's power. If they were ever so slightly infected, even by a small amount of curse's aura, they might die without even leaving a corpse behind, and their souls would never be free.

Lin Yun's face was gloomy as he pulled everyone back.

No one felt angry at being slapped, they instead withdrew in fear and looked at Lin Yun with gratitude.

There was still a deep fear in Elsa's eyes, but she still gratefully nodded at Lin Yun. They all saw how the two Dark Elves ended, their ending wouldn't be much different if they jumped.

Lin Yun led everyone further away, while the heart floating in the abyss revealed its true appearance, the black mist shrouding the heart almost completely dissipated, but it still showed something else.

A monstrous Beastman...

That Beastman was bald and was wearing a shabby robe, on the back of which was branded a Demonic Rune.

At this moment, the Beastman's hands were pressing on Constance's heart, the black mist surrounding his body seemingly fusing with Constance's heart.

Elsa's face saw that Beastman and exclaimed with fright, ”It's him!”

Before anyone could question her, Elsa quickly explained.

”Everyone thought he had died, but turns out he was still alive!”

”Over a millennium ago, he was the Ash Beastman Tribe's Elder. Just like one of our ancestors, he was known as the race's most promising genius to reach the Heaven Rank. Our clan and the Ash Beastmen had always been in a hostile relationship. The two of them became the most powerful geniuses of our clan and tribe, and they naturally became arch-enemies.”

”They always fought each other, from their youth until they became 8th Rank Archmages. While fighting each other, they inadvertently entered the Night Valley, and from that point on, they were never heard from again.”

”Everyone had thought they were dead, but I never expected that a millennium later, Duncan would still be alive...”

Fear could be seen on Elsa's face as she quickly explain the history of that Beastman.

The other Dark Elves, Jeremy included, greatly paled when they heard Duncan's name.

That was the Ash Beastman with the highest chance of success to reach the Heaven Rank over a millennium ago!

A millennium had passed and he was surprisingly still alive in such a strange place, just how powerful was he?

Lin Yun frowned, 'Ash Beastman…'

The situation wasn't getting better...

Ash Beastmen were one of the ancestors of the Beastmen, they had the bloodlines of the Abyssal Demons and were proficient in connecting with the Abyssal Demons. They were innate casters and could use Abyssal Demons' spells, and the most powerful ones could even summon Abyssal Demons.

In the past, the name Warlock was associated with Ash Beastmen for a long time.

It later turned into Demon Warlock.

Their innate talents came from their bloodline. In the ancient era, the Beastman race kept growing and Ash Beastmen were the important fighting power in charge of clearing new land.

During the Nesser Dynasty, the most famous battle of the Ash Beastmen was the Wasteland Campaign.

At that time, the Ash Beastmen formed a Demon Warlock army and summoned countless Abyssal Gate in the northern part of Noscent. A large amount of Abyssal Demons left the Abyssal Gate, they even summoned several Abyssal Overlords!

The battle with the Pureblood Elves was a bloodbath, over fifty kilometers of land was destroyed. In the end, the Chromatic Dragons personally appeared and took the initiative to initiate peace talks and gave Noscent's northern wasteland to the Beastmen. The Ash Beastmen then withdrew their army.

That battle displayed the power of the Ash Beastmen, their vast amount of Abyssal Spells and their instinctive Demon Summoning. Each Ash Beastman could summon an Abyssal Demon of the same rank as themselves to fight alongside them.
