Chapter 998: A Real Strong Power

What Kabradhabi said made everyone frown.

According to it, demons were waging war on two fronts and the enemy that humanity had never even met was their chief opponent.

That meant, during the previous Battles of Divine Will, the demons had only sent a small part of their army to battle humanity. Knowing this, Roland and the witches, who had been quite confident about the war, started to feel less optimistic.

There were four species depicted in the giant paintings in the Divine Land and the underground civilization had already been eliminated. Given that, Roland speculated that the so-called “Sky-sea Realm” was the homeland of the species in the fourth picture. It was the most mysterious among the four and was a portrait of some deep-sea eyeballs.

Did demons wage a war against the monsters in the sea right after they defeated the underground civilization and seized its relic? And they simultaneously managed to crack down on mankind in the Land of Dawn.

If it’s true, it’s no wonder that the Senior Demon showed utter contempt for the witches.

As for the common people without any magic power, Kabradhabi probably thinks of us as nothing more than useless weeds.

On the other hand, Roland was clear that the demon might have lied to them. Kabradhabi was an unyielding fighter. It had led its troop to penetrate deep into the artillery squad and had utilized the Mind Resonance to invade Zooey’s body. Obviously, it knew how to mask its intentions and to never give up fighting, even in the face of great adversity. Since no one was able to check whether it was lying, it might have been bluffing, trying to incite panic.

Everyone looked grave. Roland knew that he needed to bring the situation back under his control as soon as possible.

He shrugged and pretended to feel at ease. He looked at Alethea.

“So… this handicapped warrior is the demon?”

“Yeah, I guess so. I don’t know how Zooey did this, but she’d never say anything like that,” Alethea replied.

“Good, you saved me the trouble of taking a nap.” Roland nodded to Zooey. “You can eat whatever you want in tonight’s trip to the Dreamland”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Zooey’s lips could not help curling into a smile, but soon her expression returned to normal. “Unfortunately, this guy is already accustomed to our way of thinking. Although it’s still unable to flexibly control the body, we can’t read his real thoughts through Mind Resonance that easily now.”

“It’s not your fault. After all, no one has pried deeply into a Senior Demon’s mind before. It’s natural for you to misjudge the situation.”

“Demon? You still call us by such a ridiculous name.” Kabradhabi sniggered. “You look upon the other species as evil incarnate without realizing that you yourselves are nothing but backward barbarians. Your good days will end soon. When the Fountain of Magic appears again, you’ll die out!”

All the people looked at each other simultaneously, since the Fountain of Magic mentioned by the demon reminded them of a thing in their legend.

“Is the Fountain of Magic… the Bloody Moon?” asked Roland.

“You bugs always see the surface.” The Senior Demon did not give him a definite answer.

“Is the red sphere made of magic power?” Agatha interjected. “But that wouldn’t make sense. I’ve seen the Red Moon with my own eyes. No matter what it is, it’s way too far away from us. You said the final winner would open the door to the Fountain of Magic. It’s impossible unless you can build a ladder to the heavens.”
