A few more days passed...
At this moment, in an area between the Petha Empire and Rablus, in an area bordering the Ancestral Region, there was a small camp in a hidden corner of this area, between two large mountains.
The vegetation in the area was dense, with many trees reaching a height of over 100 meters, casting great shadows over the surface.
Just where this camp was, the shade of the trees protected the place from the light rays of the day, making the area permanently dark, as if only night existed there.
But creatures of various kinds lived on this dark surface, crawling from side to side, while the cooler temperature of this part of the forest would be something that would bother most of Concordia's living beings.
Furthermore, few beings would dare to pass through this area, as each mountain was said to be the domain of powerful beasts, which made the surroundings somewhat dangerous.
But that was what made this place such a good site to camp!
In this camp, only six individuals were around, one watching the surroundings while the other five were together in a hut.
These five were sitting under the green carpet that covered the floor of that hut, while only a small wooden table, the high of an adult human's knee, stood between them.
On one side of the table were three individuals, one of them sitting closer to the table and the other two a little behind him.
Meanwhile, the remaining two individuals were sitting at different corners of this square table.
"Did you bring what you were looking for?" One of the five individuals asked, looking at the one in front of him, ignoring the two individuals behind this young man.
"No. The information didn't lead us to what we were looking for, just new information." The blue-skinned, hostile-looking level 18 youth said in a calm tone. "I believe this may help your group locate this Singularity, so we brought it here."
After nodding to his men, this demon made them take out a scroll which he soon passed on to these two Saints of this camp.
When the other demon of this camp took that scroll and opened it, his eyes widened significantly.
"If this is true, we will be able to reach a new Singularity in no time!" He said to his teammate, feeling that this would help them.
The other demon there relaxed a bit and said. "Arthrel, if this gets us to one of the Singularities, we will all gain a lot from the Demon Emperor when he awakens!"
"Hmmm." That Divine Soul Transcendent smiled, agreeing. "But let's take it easy. The activity of the damned members of the Seraphim Church has greatly increased in this state recently.
There is news that a hybrid has emerged, and they are hunting down this abomination."
"Oh? A hybrid?" Those two exclaimed almost at the same time.
They were usually focused on their work concerning the Singularities investigation, so falling a few weeks behind on other matters was not unusual.
One of them said. "That's terrible to hear. But even though more Church experts are keeping an eye on this region, they're more focused on the damned hybrid, not us.
So let's let them eliminate this aberration while we collect one more Singularity for our leader."
Hearing that, one of the level 20 guards of that level 18 demon clenched his fists and thought to himself, 'If we get that Singularity, it will be the third one the supreme leader will have! We'll be halfway to awakening!'
"What are you going to do now? Return to the Demon Island? Recently some of our envoys in the southern region were eliminated... Why don't you move there to strengthen our search in the area?" The strongest one there, level 21, asked this level 18 individual.
"Southern region? I have orders to work in the northern region. Unless the command on Demon Island sends different orders, I will continue in the area doing what I've been told."
"Ehat a pity... In any case, we will soon receive a new communiqué from headquarters. Maybe there will be new orders for you."
"Is that so? I'll wait for that then."
While they were talking in that tent, a group was watching them near the camp.
Nine kilometers away, a young man with black hair was looking toward that hut, his eyes shining as he saw through the vegetation.
"They are just ahead. There are six demons, one Divine Soul Transcendent, one Origin Saint, three Celestial Saints, and one Supreme Saint. There is no one else in the surroundings." A black-haired youth said to the rest of his group.
Immediately upon hearing this, the six people around him, looking at the surroundings, turned their faces to Lothur, somewhat shocked at the number of high-level demons around.
"A Supreme Saint?" Sebastian looked at Lothur and questioned, feeling that their chances would be much lower if that were the case.
The woman of the group then asked Lothur. "Liam, can you tell the quality of their bloodline?"
One of the old men saw the bitter expression on Lothur's face and said. "Boy, to tell their lineage by their appearance is very simple. The more human-like and the less chaotic the way of behaving and the spiritual fluctuation itself, the better the quality of the demon's lineage."
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm Hearing that, Lothur quickly answered that woman's question. "I believe there are two Monarch demons, and all the others are Generals."
"Who are they?" A man asked.
"The strongest and the weakest," Lothur said, knowing that was a problem.
When he formed a Soul Bone, it certainly wouldn't be bad if the strongest one was a demon who reached level 21 cultivation. That would make his bone Gold-grade, maybe even quasi-Platinum-grade!
But as long as he was not killed, he would be much more complicated to put down precisely because of his hierarchy within the demon world!
Everyone in the group became even more serious, wondering what to do about it.
"If we continue, there is a high chance that at least half of the group will die in confronting these demons." The third strongest of the group got straight to the point.
"But in return, those of us who survive may have six new possibilities, two of them being Soul Bones from Monarch demons." He added. "Besides, we would be able to stop these creatures' plans and protect countless lives."
Sebastian clenched his fists and said. "I don't know what you think, but I'm willing to continue. Not only that, if I die, I want you, my friends, to have my Soul Bones."
