Chapter 229 – Killed

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Hela and I entered the tunnel and just followed the past set by Rugatimu and Durmado before us.

After walking for more than half an hour, we have finally arrived at the underground temple that was located deep within the planet's inner shell, very close to the planetary core.

This temple looked very old, far older than a place where I have found Inheritance of the Devouring Magister.

"Be careful... there may be still some traps that those two didn't activate or managed to evade."

I warned Hela as she nodded.

This tomb could easily belong to some very strong Arcanists.

When Arcanists were building their tombs, they usually constructed them with as many traps as possible, as they wanted many people to accompany them in death, and most importantly, they really didn't want someone to get their hands on their inheritance too smoothly.

If this tomb really belonged to some strong Arcanists, then it could be really problematic.

We walked through the narrow tunnels and corridors of the tomb until we arrived at the enormous underground plaza, where I heard some sound like somebody was fighting.

After I looked more precisely, I noticed two mechanical figures were fighting against some monsters.

Both of the mechanical figures were five meters tall humanoid mechanical lifeforms with three eyes.

"Hmm... this tomb isn't belonging to some Arcanist; if yes, then those monsters would be stronger. Either this is the tomb of some strong Warlock or God."

I stated as I observed Rugatimu and Durmado fighting several monsters, as they were getting injured by them.

"Prepare your strongest attacks. Soon enough, those two will unleash their strongest attacks to kill monsters; after that, we strike and kill them in one attack."

I said as Hela prepared her Necroswords.

My plan was to kill them in one hit; I didn't really want to fight them in prolonged combat.

As they were mechanical lifeforms, they could easily relay information back to Regalzeva. I needed them dead before they could warn him about something.

Regalzeva would for sure come and search for the killer of his two underlings.

After several more minutes, Rugatimu and Durmado used their strongest attack, which depleted most of the Divine Power to kill the never-ending swarm of monsters. After all of those monsters were killed, I noticed that their energy reserves were not even at 10% of the entire amount.

"Now."

I ordered Hela as she melted into the shadows and attacked Durmado and I teleported next to the Rugatimu and slashed with my Rosenkreutzs boosted up with the power of Laws and the severed head of the exhausted Rugatimu as Hela's Necroswords pierced through the core of Durmado.

Both of them were killed instantly.

Fortunately.

If not, it could greatly complicate things.

"Store the corpses; they would be of great use to Architect."

I said as Hela stored the corpses of Rugatimu and Drumado.

I looked around and scanned the area.

"This is not the tomb of the Arcanist, probably just some high-ranking warlock or perhaps God. At least there should be some nice amount of the Divine Crystals if it belonged to some God."

I thought.

If it belonged to some high-ranking warlock, then there may be some precious warlock methods; some of them could be adjusted to suit devils, though only those for the body refining warlocks, as their body methods are pretty suitable for tempering physique after some adjustments.

After searching this place for several minutes, I have found hundreds of the Divine Crystals, some weapons, and other things that were useless to me. Only the Divine Crystals were of some use to me; aside from that, other things were trash.

Maybe some warlock methods could be tweaked to some extent to be suitable for common devils for body tempering.

"Come on, we are leaving... Regalzeva would soon notice that his two loyal bots have been killed and would come and search for their killer; we need to prepare some traps..."

I said to Hela as she nodded, and we left the planet and returned to the Adjudicator-Class Juggernaut Capital Ship, where Okhwang was already waiting for us.

After I had boarded the ship, the entire voidfleet has entered the stealth mode and quietly waited for the Regalzeva to appear.

"What have you found there down there?"

Asked me Okhwang, as he was always curious about cultivation methods.

"Just some warlock methods... I wanted to say... I want an even higher level of alchemical knowledge. If possible, from other Universes if possible, for someone like you who have been reborn in countless cultivation Universes, you should have a lot of them."

I stated my request.

I needed as much alchemy knowledge as possible.

The current level of alchemy was shallow.

Even though I had to deal with Okhwang, that was just some basic level alchemy knowledge from the Astral Boundary.

"Possible, in exchange, I want you for your Empire to destabilize a few cultivation Universes after your little realms becomes a lot stronger."

So becoming a blade... not that I mind as that would be something that we would be doing for sure. Even now it was a common strategy of devils, corrupting human nations for a little bit of power, creating wars and conflicts, and destabilizing entire factions.

"I agree."

I said after some time of consideration.

"With the level of knowledge, you should have alchemy that would boost up your pill and potion level to extreme heights. With this, you could easily cultivate new legions of soldiers of much higher quality."

Answered Jade Emperor Okhwang.
