992 Chapter 992- Spectral Threat (2)

In fact, they were only safe right was because of the mystical properties of the True Gold that blocked all the foreign energy outside. If not for it, they would have been engulfed in the dark murky green energy by now.

Simon looked at Itherion...the fact that he only mentioned the plan now, must mean that there was a downside to it.

As he had expected the next words from Itherion basically confirmed his suspicions.

"However, if I use the True gold to protect myself as well as Vincent, it will temporarily weaken the shield's strength. Which you and that demon will be left vulnerable".

Rothgard fell silent, both plans carried risk. If they just used the artefact, Vincent would be left in a state of danger after its duration ran out. However, if both Vincent and Itherion left, the shield's strength would reduce drastically, causing him and Simon to fall into a state of danger.

If it was just him, Rothgard would have quickly agreed without hesitation; after all, he was a dead man who was brought to life by a chance miracle. Since he was supposed to die along with his troops he had no qualms laying his life if it meant it could help his friends.

However, he was not alone, Simon was also there with him. Although the other party was a Demon Noble, they helped him and the humans to win over the demon horde, no matter how small that victory was. He couldn't just let someone he was indebted to die because of him.

"We do what you say"

Just as Rothgard was keeping silent, mulling over his options, Simon spoke. He looked at the three humans and uttered what was on his mind—

"We are pressed for time, we do not have the option to dilly dally. If we don't do anything soon, the effects of the formation will activate. At that time not knowing what the formation does, it would be too late for us to escape from here. There is no other option, it is a risk we must take. Rothgard and I will stay here".

Only he knew the future, the vision where they are forced to fight one another. In that vision, a massive abyss formed at the place they were standing at and there was no sight of him or Rothgard.

Two burning crimson eyes peered through murky green energy and settled onto the group below.

[Do you think this king's formation is so easy to break out of? Kfufufu... Pathetic humans. You underestimate me. You will all die here, your existence forever erased from history. This is your fate. Accept it!]

The spectre's words was full of disdain as it laughed at their struggle. Facing the unknown entity that appeared out of nowhere, the group raised their guards.

"that thing an talk. Is it some kind of ghost?".

Itherion shook his head, the True golden glow exuding from him became even more intense in response to the new threat.

"No, it's different than that. I can't put my hands on it but its very presence feels disturbing. As of seeing something shouldn't be there".

Meanwhile, under the shield, Simon tried using [Appraisal] on the spectre only for his eyes to harden the next second as it was immediately blocked.

Another peak-level existence!! Damn it. How many of these monsters are out here?

While they were observing the spectre, the being? in question continued with its sololiquy.

[Humans and demons... working together? What kind of disgusting abomination is this? The only thing you need to do is fight each other and cause chaos in the world. Hmph. I thought our plan was working perfectly, but then I see this—this mockery]

[A demon noble aiding humans? And humans thanking demons? This is... unacceptable No, I can't let this stand. You're all meddling with the preconceived order of this world. This itself warrants erasing you all!] After giving its one sided declaration, The specter extended its distorted arms, and the dark murky green energy around it surged violently. Happy New Year!!
