Chapter 323: Chapter 76 Unexpected Changes_3
While traveling at high speed, Boss Otis, who was at the end of the convoy responsible for covering the rear, suddenly looked up.
He stared intently in a particular direction in the sky.
Aboard the third off-road vehicle.
Assad, reacting a tad slower, also sensed this peculiar fluctuation.
A wave of unease roiled within both of them.
What was happening?
Why did the Fairy King’s Court have the capability to communicate across domains?
The preliminary report given by the academy didn’t mention this at all.
The reconnaissance team dispatched before the Legion officially entered the Fairy World didn’t detect this information either.
Why did the Fairy King’s Court suddenly send a communication request towards an entity or world beyond the domain out of the blue?
Who were they communicating with?
Could it impact this campaign?
All sorts of guesses emerged, stirring unease.
“Pick up the pace!”
Boss Otis pulled his gaze back as his voice abruptly rang out on the team’s channel.
The off-road convoy’s speed sharply increased again, their vehemence in rushing forward becoming more conspicuous.
High up in the sky.
Within the most advanced Sky Fortress.
Sage Palo, who was stationed in the command center attending to the progress of all fronts, suddenly looked up, followed the strange fluctuation, and looked at the boundary wall of the Fairy World.
His eyes released two divine lights, piercing through the void and penetrating the boundary wall.
A bat-like Abyss Demon came into Sage Palo’s sight.
The Demon was sealed and was sleeping, oblivious to Sage Palo’s scrutiny.
Sage Palo promptly ended his observation and called back the divine lights.
“Hmm…”
Sage Palo pursed his lips, a sense of unease inexplicably pervading his thoughts.
The old undead at the Academy weren’t really aged.
How could they make such a huge error?
They had failed to detect a demon sealed within the quasi-virtual boundary wall.
Chances were that they knew from the start and merely chose not to tell him.
They asked him to develop this world using a more peaceful approach.
Sage Palo pondered over the various instances when the old undead had tricked him and their past mischief.
He instantly suspected that the old undead had set a trap for him and dwelled on this notion.
If Sage Palo really took his time conquering the Fairy World,
Or lost patience, resorted to violence as soon as he entered the Fairy World,
He would likely end up facing a fourth-order Abyss Demon that had opened an abyssal passage, along with an endless low-level demon army emerging from the passage.
Then, unable to complete the Academy’s task, Sage Palo would have to sign a ‘bondage agreement’ with the Academy.
The old undead at the academy would step in to clean up the mess.
They could claim a Fairy World that has been almost entirely conquered and harvest a batch of Abyss Demons to nourish several special plants.
It would be akin to killing two birds with one stone.
“Old Undead!”
Sage Palo gritted his teeth, cursed in resentment.
Lucky for him, he had always been vigilant. Even without the undeniable push from Link Grande, the third campaign would have begun in a few days.
In terms of progress, there would be little delay.
He wouldn’t let the crafty plot of the old undead succeed.
However, knowing about the intentions of the old undead felt like spotting several flies on a piece of delicious cake – utterly disgusting.
“You, come here.”
Suppressing his disgust, Wizard Palo beckoned the captain of the personal guard and began to set out his plans.
He wanted to give a surprise to the fourth-order Abyss Demon that was about to wake up and had its consciousness descending into the Fairy World along the unusual fluctuation.
To let it know that in front of a wizard, an Abyss Demon was simply a bug that could be squashed at will.
If you know what’s good for you, keep sleeping, don’t fucking dare to disturb my work.
Or else, I’ll scatter your ashes.
And bury them in the ground as fertilizer.
