1000  Chapter 1000- Demon Lord of Envy— [Agramon] (2)

Rothgard looked at Simon who nodded his head. As a demon himself, he shouldn't give out information to his enemies. However, he was not from this timeline and besides, this much was already known.

The Demon Lord of Envy wanted to regroup with the Demon Lord of Greed to expand their forces and take the Central Continent in one fell swoop. Kingdom of Orlandos which connected the northwest with the east, was the idle place to assemble.

As such, the Demon Lord's next target would be to take over the Kingdom of Orlandos.

Itherion nodded, without any further words he headed inside the tear before it could completely recover.

With Itherion gone, the three of them also left the scene. Two humans, one demon flew through the air. The scenery below them quickly changed from a mountainous region to a fertile plain land.

Vincent was flying through the air without man wings, Simon was using his own demon wings while Rothgard was using an artefact to fly.

[Mana Wings] was a skill that one could only acquire after reaching level 500 and since the latter was yet to reach that level, he had to rely on an artefact to fly. Unlike now, artifacts such as this were much more common.

In the middle of the flight, Simon's mind wandered. Now that Itherion was out of the picture, there was no guarantee that he would be able to come back in time. Could the final battle, which he needed to stop, be solved on its own now??

Without Itherion the Seraphim of Honor shouldn't be able to slay the Demon Lord of Envy right?

Just as those thoughts arrived in his mind, his eyes went towards Vincent. He had just seen a fraction of the latter's strength. It was too early to discount that the Southern Alliance had no powerful pieces to checkmate.

Contrariwise, it would also be bad if the human forces had no powerful beings to stop the Demon Lord. The trail wanted him to stop the fight with neither the Demon Lord or the Seraphim dying.

If the Demon Lord's forces become too powerful and the Demon lord slays the Seraphim of Honor, it will run contrary to his case.

"We will soon be entering the territory of the Kingdom of Orlandos. What are your plans?".

Simon stopped his wildly running thoughts and answered "I will regroup with the demon lord's forces. I can't be seen with the humans, it is better for you too right".

Vincent nodded, humans and demons are arc enemies, after all, they can't be seen together lest they get misunderstood. @@novelbin@@

"Before you go away, I want to say good luck. Even though we are from the opposing forces, it is hard for me to see you as an enemy. I hope you survive the war"...

Saying that he suddenly started chuckling "Haha, you remind me very much of a demon I met in my younger years".

A demon? Curious, Simon couldn't help but ask who?

"Other than the current Itherion, he was the strongest being I ever met. That guy even while being a demon noble, held no enmity towards humans. No, far from it, he looked at us as if we were not different. He crushed all of my attacks and made me realise what the true pinnacle of power looked like. Even though he could, he didn't kill us. And by us, I mean Itherion and me. Of course, we were nowhere as strong as we are right now back then"

Vincent made a conflicted face as if he still could not come to terms with his defeat at the hands of Asmodeus.

"The world knows that there are only two conquerors of the Forbidden Ground- The Thousand Trials. But in reality, there is a third one, a demon in fact"...

"As you can guess, it was Asmodeus. However, unlike he didn't choose to inherit the power of the Ancient Symbols and instead passed this opportunity to us. His reason being that he was searching for a different forbidden ground and not this one. Can you believe it?"

Someone who would reject the allure of the Ancient symbols, it was indeed difficult to believe. Although Simon didn't possess any Ancient Symbols, from what little he had seen and knew, he could tell that they were unparalleled treasures in this world.

They not only possess mystical powers but could bolster one's power to the pinnacle of this world.

"Anyways, he was a demon with a mission. I don't know what he was after but it was definitely not waging wars like this. You kind of remind me of him, prideful and noble".

Simon nodded, becoming curious and curious about this demon named Asmodeus who was spoken so highly of by one of the two strongest human Heroes.

"By the way you didn't get to know the latter half of your question right? Since it's your reward, you should naturally get to hear about it. Let me answer your query, the Seraphim who was killed was the newly Appointed Seraphim of Justice"...

"And the one who killed him was none other than the Demon Lord of Greed".

The words struck as thunder in Simon's ears, these were information he was unaware of. The prelude to the Second Apex War that started with the blood of the Seraphim and that Seraphim was none other than the Seraphim of Justice.

He had never met any of the Seraphims so it was hard for him to imagine what kind of beings they were. However, he did know a little about the current Demon Lord of Greed, Procell.

It was said that Procell was chosen by the Fragment of Greed about 3000 years ago from the present timeline. Considering that it takes a lot of time for each fragment of sin to find a worthy successor, it can be said that the Demon Lord of Greed here is the predecessor of Procell.

1000 chapters a Milestone. Thank you all for reading the book!!
