Chapter 924 - Prelude to the Final Battle (1/2)

The Shadow Demon Wolf gazed at Nie Yan with a fearful expression. It couldn’t display anywhere close to its full strength due to this suffocating pressure coming from that hateful human. It felt another heavy blow landing in its side, its paws losing touch with the ground.

It wasn’t that the Shadow Demon Wolf was weak, but rather that the suppressive aura coming from Nie Yan was closely tied to God, whose authority couldn’t be blasphemed.

Not just the five Thieves, Tyrannical too was in shock as he looked on in bewilderment. Even though Nie Yan was strong, absurdly so, he certainly wasn’t on the level to manhandle a Level 180 Demonified Lord.

Tyrannical pondered for a moment before realizing what was going on. This was likely the effect of the Wolf King skill, allowing the Great Prophet to obtain a mount they were more satisfied with.

If he claimed he wasn’t envious, that would be a lie. Tyrannical couldn't help but think how wonderful it would be if he could gain the Great Prophet title as well. However, this was only a wishful dream. In the entire Righteous Faction, only Nie Yan had this title. One could imagine how hard it was to get.

The Shadow Demon Wolf stubbornly resisted the pressure, only to be continuously beaten down by Nie Yan. No matter how it tried, it failed to touch a single hair on Nie Yan’s body, let alone land an attack.

The Shadow Demon Wolf whimpered pitifully, and tried to hide from Nie Yan. However, its legs were paralyzed from fear.

Tyrannical’s group deeply engraved this scene into their hearts.

The Shadow Demon Wolf finally lied down belly flat against the ground, lowering its head as if begging for mercy. Nie Yan calmly walked over and placed his hand over its head. A white radiance emerged from his palm and slowly entered its body.

Roughly 10 seconds later, a notification rang out.

You have turned the Shadow Demon Wolf into your mount.

Nie Yan glanced at the Shadow Demon Wolf’s status page. A Level 180 Demonified Lord’s stats were truly frightening! Moreover, the effects of his Wolf King skill boosted its stats by 30%.

Nie Yan was quite satisfied. Though he couldn’t have the Shadow Demon Wolf help him hunt monsters since anything it killed wouldn’t give him any experience or loot, it would still be a great asset against players in the upcoming battle. It would almost certainly be a killing machine on the battlefield.

The Shadow Demon Wolf stood back up. Its black fur gave off a bright lustre. Paired with its large size, it appeared especially domineering once again.

Nie Yan turned to Tyrannical’s group. “You guys can go back now.”

“Alright.” Tyrannical nodded.

“The boss actually turned that Shadow Demon Wolf into his mount! Amazing!” The Thieves gawked at the giant wolf, their hearts racing with excitement.

“What we saw today has to be kept absolutely confidential! Got it?” Tyrannical said, sweeping his eyes over the group.

“Understood!” the five Thieves cried out in unison. They naturally understood the sensitivity of the matter and that leaking this information out was equivalent to betraying the guild. They didn’t dare to wade into this minefield.

Nie Yan recalled the Shadow Demon Wolf into his pet space. With this super powerful mount, his Falkner Warhorse was now basically obsolete. After which he summoned his Darkwing Dragon and took off.

“Let’s head back as well,” Tyrannical said to his team. They took out their Return Scrolls.

Apart from these six Thieves and Nie Yan, no one knew what happened here today.
