Chapter 712 - Demon's Cruelty

After the Three-Eyed Greater Demon spoke, Rathadas and Limopith immediately paused their heated argument and turned to the Three-Eyed Greater Demon.

"Work together, you say?"

Red-Horned Rathadas quickly cracked a half-disdainful, half-sly smile and said, "I didn't expect such words to come from a member of the proud and arrogant Evil Eye Demon Clan such as yourself, Balthagan."

"Don't tell me that you are really willing to share all of the knowledge on the Abyssal Wood Demon King's tomb that your ancestors poured their blood and sweat into gathering over the past several hundred years?"

"Why not?" Three-Eyed Balthagan shrugged nonchalantly before saying calmly, "As it stands, we won't be able to enter the Abyssal Wood Demon King's tomb, let alone clear it."

"As such, it is better for us to work together. Pooling the clues that our three clans have gathered over the past few openings will definitely give us a higher chance of cracking the riddle. We can either divide Abyssal Wood Demon King's inheritance or get nothing from Abyssal Wood Demon King's tomb at all."

"Heh, and how do you propose we divide the Abyssal Wood Demon King's Demon Core?" Scaly-Tailed Limopith sniggered before suggesting sarcastically, "Should we cut it up into three equal pieces?"

"Hmph! That's not even funny!" Three-Eyed Balthagan snorted coldly and said, "The Abyssal Wood Demon King's Demon Core contains the accumulated power of the Abyssal Wood Demon King."

.

"Cutting up such a precious object will disperse and scatter all of the Abyssal Wood Demon King's concentrated power into the atmosphere, turning the divided Demon Core into useless pieces of rocks."

"Hmph, you think I don't already know that?" Scaly Tailed Limopith snorted back and coldly said, "That is why I asked how you would propose to divide it!"

"I am also interested in hearing about this," Red-Horned Rathadas added with a cold glint.

Evidently, the three strongest Greater Demons in the area were primarily interested in the Abyssal Wood Demon King's Demon Core.

All other inheritance that could be found inside the Abyssal Wood Demon King's tomb was of lesser importance.

"Hmph, the Abyssal Wood Demon King's Demon Core obviously cannot be divided," Three-Eyed Balthagan snorted and said, "So we will divide what can be divided. As for what can't be divided, we can compete for them after dividing the rest."

"That's fine with me."

"And me too."

Red-Horned Rathadas and Scaly-Tailed Limopith agreed to Three-Eyed Balthagan's suggestion with a nod.

However, shortly after, another Greater Demon approach hesitantly and asked, "Excuse me, Sir Balthagan. What part of the Abyssal Wood Demon King's inheritance would the rest of us get?"

Puchi!

The Three-Eyed Greater Demon suddenly drove his sharp hand into the Four-Armed Greater Demon's chest before ripping out his heart and dropped it on the ground with a disdainful look.

"My heart… Sir Balthagan, why…?"

Plop!

The Four-Armed Greater Demon died shortly after Three-Eyed Balthagan stepped on the heart and crushed it into a bloody paste.

"A demon of some small clan dares to have eyes on the Abyssal Wood Demon King's inheritance like us of the Nine Great Clans? Know your place, insect!"

"Heh, serves him right," Red-Horned Rathadas sniggered with cold indifference and commented, "It should be his honor to even participate in opening the Abyssal Wood Demon King's tomb."

"Even so, you shouldn't have killed him, Balthagan," Scaly-Tailed Limopith admonished with a frown and said, "He is, after all, a Greater Demon, albeit a low-rank one. Still, that is one less cannon fodder to aid us in opening the tomb."

"Leave him be, Limopith. The fool did not know his place. Now, let us discuss what we know on the Abyssal Wood Demon King's entrance riddle."

As the three strongest Greater Demons discussed the clues, the other Greater Demons and newly arrived Lesser Demons were greatly started by the casual death of a Greater Demon.

They began having second thoughts about participating in the Abyssal Wood Demon King's tomb.

Some of them did not even know it was the location of the Abyssal Wood Demon King's tomb until they arrived.

Not all demons had access to information like members of the Nine Great Clans did.

As some demons decided to leave and try their luck elsewhere, Three-Eyed Balthagan cast his gaze over and barked, "Stop! Where are you going?"

"Sir Balthagan, we don't want to participate in the Abyssal Wood Demon King's tomb anymore. Can we leave?" a Black-Furred Lesser Demon inquired nervously.

"Oh, that's too bad," Three-Eyed Balthagan uttered with an unreadable expression before he calmly nodded, "Sure, you can leave."

"Thank you, Sir Balthagan!" the Black-Furred Lesser Demon expressed his gratitude before turning around to leave excitedly, ahead of the other Lesser Demons beside it.

Swish~!

However, a black light flashed past with a gust of wind before the Black-Furred Lesser Demon noticed its horizontal angle of vision lowered and rolled a few times until it ultimately stopped, aligned with the ground before the Lesser Demon felt pain in its neck.

Pish—!

Blood sprayed from the Black-Furred Lesser Demon's headless body before it plopped on the ground beside its head. Only then did the Lesser Demon understood it got decapitated by something.

A few moments later, the Lesser Demon's consciousness faded into the oblivion of death.

"Anyone else wants to leave?"

Three-Eyed Balthagan casually asked while sweeping his gaze through the crowd of demons before pausing on the other two Lesser Demons that were about to leave.

The two Lesser Demons shook their heads vehemently.

It only took one death—No, one death was more than enough for everyone to understand that while they were allowed to leave, it did not mean they could leave alive.

In the end, they only had one choice; to stay and be cannon fodder for the three Greater Demons of the Nine Great Clans.

At the same time, everything was witnessed by the humans hiding up in the tree branches.

"How cruel… This is the sort of brutality and cruelty one would expect from demons…" Leon muttered softly with narrowed eyes.

The demons are so cruel to their kind. It is not hard to imagine what it would be like if humans fell into their hands.
