Chapter 701: Recorded Projection (1/2)
Leon, Aria, and Darlene continued to follow the trail of gloomy green ghostfire leading them deeper and deeper underground.
Surprisingly, the location of the underground tomb was deeper than they anticipated, being at 500 feet below the surface.
Shortly after they finally reached the bottom, a tall blue gate sealed the tomb's entrance with two black demon statues guarding it on either side.
Thud…
As if one of their steps activated a pressure plate in the ground, the underground space was filled with the noise of turning gears.
Swoosh!
A flash of bright white light blinded them temporarily before a giant blue demon with four arms and three eyes suddenly appeared between the two demon guardian statutes.
Its towering presence was even more significant than two black statues.
At the same time, its abrupt appearance immediately made Darlene retreat behind Leon, while Aria only took a step back with a guarded and alarmed expression.
”Relax, the demon isn't real. This is just a light projection, which is quite common back in the Divine Realm,” Leon assured after seeing right through the trick immediately.
”These light projections are usually used for leaving behind a recorded message, so it seems that this demon has something to say.”
Having said that, Aria quickly calmed down while Darlene still wore an apprehensive look, but it was much better than her initial fright.
”This demon is the owner of this tomb?” Darlene inquired cautiously.
”Most likely.”
Shortly after the towering blue demon gaze down on them for some time as if it was the real thing, the blue demon began to speak.
”Thieving rats dare to intrude into the resting place of I, Paragon Blackfrost, and disturb my eternal slumber?! My treasures are not easy to take! If you want them, pass my trial and deem them worthy of thee! Should you fail, you can stay and keep this Saint company!”
”But don't think it is so bad to stay and keep this Saint company in eternal rest. It is your honor to keep this Saint company! I, Paragon Blackfrost, had the honor of accompanying his imperial majesty, the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, on his conquest.”
”We may have failed to break out of this prison world, but our successors will eventually succeed. Why you may ask? Because this world is doomed, destined to be destroyed—along with the rest of Primal Chaos. It is the natural cycle of the world, the cycle of destruction and creation.”
”It matters not what race you are, coming in search of treasures, once you inherit my treasures, this Saint entrusts you to carry on the great mission of all demons; to destroy the world and continue the perpetuity of the great cycle…”
The record projection of the blue-colored Arch Demon, Paragon Blackfrost, continued to blather and preach demon values for some time as if it was a vain attempt at brainwashing to convert them to the demonic way.
Leon, Aria, and Darlene listened patiently initially, but as the recorded projection of the blue-colored Arch Demon rambled on and on, their patience grew thin.
