Birth of the Demonic Sword

Chapter 1722 - 1722. Bored

It was evident that all the experts needed to spend a few centuries in seclusion to work on their power. Even those who had started training while Noah was hibernating still had a long way to go.

The sheer number of experiences gathered in a single mission could turn their existence upside down. The sole influence of the Devils could force them to change their laws completely.

Heaven and Earth had become an imminent danger for those experts now. They could sense the world’s heavy gaze on them. It was only a matter of time before an even stronger punishment fell on them and took their life.

King Elbas and the others had understood their current position while Noah was hibernating. They could point the way back to the Outer Lands as soon as the group decided to move.

The group had fallen in a random spot near the edges of the old human domain, but no cultivator had tried to approach them during those centuries. The magical beasts were even scarce in that area, and Noah struggled to endure his hunger during the flight.

It felt strange to see such desolation in the higher plane. That landmass was the very apex of Heaven and Earth’s system, but it seemed completely empty for some unknown reason.

’The other human organizations didn’t settle back here,’ Noah concluded after the group flew across multiple regions. ’The magical beasts have also opted to avoid these lands. Why is that? What can scare them so much?’

The ground carried traces of past battles, but it still contained a lot of energy. It wouldn’t take much before new magical plants appeared in those areas, but no magical beast seemed interested in that feature.

Only a stronger threat could force the magical beasts to abandon such promising lands, but Noah couldn’t identify it. He couldn’t even guess what kind of power could generate so much fear.

’We should theoretically find outposts and mansions on this path,’ Noah thought. ’I don’t see why the magical beasts would avoid these places otherwise.’

His confusion increased until it eventually vanished. Noah suddenly noticed an outpost hidden among a mountain chain, and he saw that the banner of the Legion occupied the sides of the structure.

Noah and the others turned to reach the outpost, but a series of hybrids came out of it. They were nothing more than rank 7 experts in the liquid stage, but they tightened their grasp on their weapons to steady their determination.

"Calm down," Wilfred stepped forward. "We are part of the Legion. I’m actually one of your leaders."

The hybrids didn’t believe in Wilfred’s words. They continued to point their weapons toward the group, and Noah eventually exhausted his patience.

A deafening roar came out of his mouth as his pride spread through the area. The weak hybrids couldn’t oppose his aura, and they soon bowed to show their respect.

"No bowing!" Noah shouted while massaging the corner of his eyes. "How many times do I have to repeat it? No one lowers their head in my organization."

The hybrids quickly stood up as fear filled their figures. They had kneeled due to the pressure released by Noah’s pride, but the latter was blaming them for that behavior.

"Just to make it clear," Wilfred resumed his questioning. "How is the Legion? Is Alexander still in charge?"

"He is," One of the hybrids replied in a timid voice, "But he never leaves the Outer Lands. He wants to defend the main headquarters of the Legion."

"Main headquarters?" Noah asked. "What happened to the Legion while we were away?"

The hybrids seemed confused by that question. They didn’t know when Noah’s group had left, so they had no idea what to tell them about the Legion.

"Are you asking about the battle against the Monneay family?" One of the hybrids said.

"I think they want to know about the invasion of the rats," Another hybrid guessed.

"It’s definitely about the snakes running wild in our domain," A third hybrid suggested.

Noah and the others remained astonished to hear the number of significant events that had occurred while they were away. Still, an outpost of the Legion was deep into the previous human domain, so the organization couldn’t be in a bad situation.

"We want to know what happened after Radiant Eyes’ crisis," Noah explained. "We left for a mission with the other human organizations. We have just come back."

The hybrids’ eyes widened when they heard that. They finally seemed to understand the experts’ identity.

"Are you Defying Demon?" One of the hybrids asked while moving his eyes between Robert and Sword Saint.

The two experts’ aura stood out among the group, so it made sense for them to be the famous Defying Demon in the hybrid’s mind.

"I guess you are talking about me," Noah revealed while scratching his head. "You have talked about many battles. How did the Legion do there?"

"We won all of them," The hybrid explained. "The Legion governs what had once been the human domain now. Most of the human organizations had to move into the Outer Lands."

The news surprised Noah and the others, but they remained calm to learn as much as possible from those weak experts.

"Technically, it doesn’t only belong to the Legion," Another hybrid spoke. "The members of your nameless organizations have fought most battles, so the actual ownership is unclear."

"It’s really hard to divide the two organizations," A third hybrid commented. "Even their members can’t tell the difference."

"Maybe giving it a name would have helped," Robert mocked Noah.

"I’m thinking about it!" Noah shouted. "My force will absorb the Legion anyway. I’ll get a name soon."

"Divine Demon sect should be open," Divine Demon whispered.

"You all don’t get a say on the matter," Noah snorted.

"You have to admit that you aren’t reliable in that field," King Elbas commented. "Just make us decide."

"I refuse," Noah shouted. "You would only pick something that suits you."

"Isn’t that what you are doing?" Wilfred asked.

"Of course," Noah replied, "But it’s fine when I do it."

"Can I quit?" King Elbas asked.

"He finally accepted to be inside," The Foolery commented, and King Elbas widened his eyes when he realized his mistake.

The hybrids didn’t know how to react to that scene. Noah and the others were legendary figures among the Legion. The higher-ups often told the stories about the many battles that had given the organization its foundation. The current expansion wouldn’t have been possible without them.

"Let’s cut it short," Noah eventually shouted. "Where are the other headquarters, and how are they different?"

The hybrids lowered their heads and tried to hold back that knowledge, but Noah growled and forced them to surrender again.

"They mostly divide the various leaders inside the organizations," One of the hybrids explained. "Our domain is too large now, so we need many platoons to handle different areas."

"Where’s the closest?" Noah asked.

"It’s in that direction," The hybrid pointed toward the distance. "Blue regions will appear after you fly for a few months. These are almost the edges of our domain, so you’ll find the Lightning Demon there. She is quite bored lately due to the lack of battles. I suggest caution."
