Armipotent



Tang Shaoyang thought about what Valky said, then he realized that might be the doom for all demons. First of all, the player would not take the demon's side for sure if they knew the demon had been weakened to such an extent by him. Second, the Artamao Kingdom would become an easy target for The Union and The Caracius Kingdom. With or without players, the demon would lose the war. He had broken the balance between the three forces by taking down this fortress and also the Demon Commander.

Valky took her chance when she noticed Tang Shaoyang hesitated, "What if I give what you want, then you leave the Artamao Kingdom alone. The Artamao Kingdom will provide you access to the thirteenth floor without paying, but you must stop your attack against us!"

That was a tempting offer for sure. He might as well have accepted the offer, but the damage was there. It was just Tang Shaoyang did not think this demon kingdom would fulfill that request. If the Artamao Kingdom gave what it wanted, that would make the Artamao Kingdom look bad. The Artamao Kingdom would lose its dignity as a kingdom by agreeing to his request.

"Can you really make the decision? You can't even hire me as a mercenary without meeting your commander. If you are that capable, we don't have to reach this point, no?" Tang Shaoyang shook his head.

He doubted Valky had the capability to get what he wanted. This might be her trick to get away from him, "It seems we can't reach the deal. It will be efficient if you are with us, but we will be fine without you either. I can just get the other demons to lead us to the city."

"Don't let her escape to inform the demon king about the situation. We need to save the demon king for the last show for our lovely commander," Tang Shaoyang lowered his right hand.

Lu An's figure dissolved into shadow, and the massive shadow formed and rushed toward Valky. Valky stood there, staring at the shadow. She did not escape because there was nowhere for her to go. She could tell the shadow would catch up if she tried to escape. Exposing her back to an opponent like Lu An was the same as death itself. She had to face him if she wanted to live.

Before the wave of shadow could reach her, a portal formed in front of her. A figure came out of the portal. The figure had a sword in his right hand, and he swung the sword down toward the wave of shadow. The sword did not reach the shadow, but that was enough to neutralize the shadow. The strong gust hit the shadow, causing the shadow to blow up. As the shadow dispersed, a figure was blown backward. Lu An did not expect to be fully countered like this.

Tang Shaoyang caught his little brother with his empty hand, "Hohoho. This is getting more interesting."

The figure was wrapped in a black cloak, having his head covered as well. The figure pulled down the cloth that covered his face, revealing his face. The demon had white pale skin, black eyes and golden pupils, two horns protruding upward of his forehead, and the demon had a pair of wide bat wings.

"We will talk about the issue later, Valky. But you need to brief me on what happened here to resolve the problem," The figure spoke. The dignified voice brought calm to the tensed-up Valky. The figure then raised his hand, telling her to stop, "Skip the formality. This is not the time for that."

Valky was about to kneel and greet the figure, and she stopped halfway. She came closer and briefed what happened, including who the three humans were.

The Demon King let out a sigh, his eyes set on the demon in Tang Shaoyang's hand, "What about if you release him and talk this out?"I think you should take a look at

"You are quite tame compared to your subordinates. I thought you would rush at me the moment you see what happened to your lovely fortress," Tang Shaoyang was indeed surprised.

"I told them not to mess with the players, but it seemed my subordinates did not take my words seriously," The Demon King met with Tang Shaoyang's eyes, "I don't really want to start a war against the player. What can we do to resolve the problem?"

Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang called Wrath and Greed to return. Greed returned to his cat form, jumping on Tang Shaoyang's shoulder the moment he arrived. As the Demon King entered the cat's vision, it stood up. His fur stood up, waving in excitement.

Tang Shaoyang flicked the cat's forehead, "That's not your food. Go sleep." That killed Greed's excitement as he came down on his four, getting to a comfortable position to take a nap after the meal. Greed opened his right eye once more to take a look at the Demon King before closing his eyes to sleep.

Meanwhile, Wrath maintained his form, standing next to Tang Shaoyang. He looked at the Demon King because he could feel a strong aura from the Demon King, "Do you want me to kill him, Master?"

Tang Shaoyang waved his hand, telling the Golden Dragon not to do anything yet. He just stopped the slaughter since the person he could talk to was here. The slaughter was unnecessary.

"Let us climb to the thirteenth floor, then you don't need to worry about us anymore. That's what I want from the start anyway. But your lovely subordinate seems to have another plan for me instead of enlisting me normally into your army."

Valky came closer and elaborated more in detail on what Commander Gustave did. The Demon King massaged the space between his eyes when he found out his fortress' destruction was caused by a simple matter like this.

"That was my subordinate's fault, but you did not have to destroy my fortress, no? We can always talk it out," The Demon King said with regret. Almost everything was razed in fire, and the Demon Kingdom lost its elites in this attack.

Tang Shaoyang shrugged, "Will you come to meet me if I don't do this? So what are you going to do now?"

The Demon King let out another sigh, gazing at his Commander, "Alright. I will give you what you want, but you can't kill my subordinate!" He realized that nothing could be negotiated here from what he understood from that short conversation. Either give the players access or they would have to fight.
