999 Chapter 999- Demon Lord of Envy— [Agramon]

"Well, it is for the best. If we had fought that thing, there was no guarantee that we would have won. We can't deplete our power here, especially when we still have to fight the Demon Lord and its forces."

Vincent reasoned, as someone who has fought numerous battles with Itherion, he understood full well what the former was thinking.

While the two warriors were having a conversation, on the ground Simon was alerted by a sudden noise.

DING... [Hidden Quest fend of the ■■■■■■■■■ on Mount Gorgor has been cleared]... [Calculating merit, altering scenario] New notifications appeared in front of his eyes.

What's this? Hidden Quest? Simon arched his brows, his sweat and effort were rewarded in an unexpected way. Who knew that progressing with the story would initiate a hidden quest?

That said, the notification said that he cleared the quest, which means that he didn't fail the mission of saving the South Wing army. Simon opened the quest window, and there it was: the mission [Prevent the Souther Alliance from getting annihilated—In Progress].

For some reason, it was still in progress. Other than that, there was also the other notification.

[Calculating merit, altering scenario]...

What did it mean by altering the scenario? Did his clearing of the hidden quest lead to a chain of events that was different from the past?

While Simon was busy trying to wrap his head around the new information, Rothgard woke up. With the formation gone, there was no longer any reason to keep him restrained.

"What's going on? Kuh!! Why does my body hurt so much?"...

"Oh?" Rothgard's voice snapped Simon from his contemplation. He looked at the former and asked "Do you not remember anything that you did?".

Rothgard shook his head "I remember meeting Itherion and Vincent then after that everything is hazy".

Vincent added, "Rothgard is right, think about it".

Itherion was silent as if trying to make a decision then all of a sudden his eyes shifted towards Simon, the only outsider in this group.

"What do you think? Are humans and demons destined to fight each other?"

Itherion words struck a chord that the latter had been avoiding thinking about causing him to be unable to give an answer.

A couple of years ago, he was naïve enough to think he could befriend humans. However, after an eye awakening encounter, he realised that it was just a foolish hope. Humans and demons, the hatred between the two races was so deep that they could only rest in peace if either of the races died out.

As such, Itherion words made little sense to him.

"Asmodeus... he definitely knew something we didn't".

When the name Asmodeus was brought up, Vincent immediately fell silent. A thoughtful expression on his face. He then looked at the demon beside them and sighed loudly.

"Alright, do whatever you want. Just know that I won't wait for you. If you don't come on time, I will defeat the Demon Lord myself" Vincent declared proudly and in all seriousness.

"Yeah, I promise that I won't make you wait" Saying that, he turned towards Rothgard and spoke "I have made my decision. I will head inside the space the tear leads to. I need to find what those creatures are up to. Once I know their goals, I'll come back. Don't worry, I won't put myself in much danger".

Rothgard respected his friend's decision and nodded his head. In any case, worrying about Itherion was pointless. The man was one of the strongest beings in the world, the peak the humanity could offer.

If there is any danger, he should be able to protect himself and guard his life.

"Alright, then we will meet you in the final battleground. Once you are out, meet us in the Kingdom of Orlandos, that is probably where the demon lord's forces are headed".
