In the Super System, a notification came from the galaxy garden, âUnknown water source. Transplantation requires 50,000 auras. Do you want to transplant?â
It surely can be transplanted! According to previous experience, after going through the Galaxy Garden, when the poisonous pond is transplanted to a new place, it should be able to restore its original size.
âGalen, my partner, Iâve confirmed that I can retrieve this pond.â Chen Rui spoke to the Wyvern King, âI have a suggestion for the location of the migration. You can lead your people to the Dark Moon Estate where I live. At that place, not only you could choose any place of residence freely, the wyverns can also get additional protection. All poaching behavior such as demonic beast hunters will be prohibited to ensure the reproduction and expansion of the wyverns. However, in return, when enemies invade, we also need the wyvernâs strength.â
Wyvern King thought about it and said, âI trust you, my partner. If possible, I hope to migrate as soon as possible. Other than that scary enemy, thereâre more outsiders appearing in the wetland recently. I donât know if theyâre the abominable demonic beasts hunters. I donât want my people to suffer unnecessary casualties again.â
âThereâre outsiders recently?â Chen Ruiâs heart was moved, âI came to the Silent Night Wetland this time isnât only for the wyverns, but I also have another important matter. Send some scouting wyverns first and pay close attention to two people. Report as soon as possible when there is any news. Iâll now collect the pond with my special ability. After I leave, you and your people can go to the Mountain Xilang first to wait for me. Kegu and others know the place. When Iâm done here, Iâll go to you immediately.â
Chen Rui described the characteristics of Delia and Roman in detail. The Wyvern King immediately dispatched wyverns to start a large-scale scout and at the same time began to arrange the migration. Chen Rui activated the galaxy garden and collected the pond.
A green, poisonous pond was added into the galaxy garden. Fortunately, the galaxy garden had a wonderful effect. Each plant or water source was equal to a separate growth space; it wouldnât interfere with each other. So, it wouldnât cause any erosion or other negative effects on the devil fruit, aura fruit, and other plants.
Just as the preparations for the migration of Wyvernâs Lair were almost complete, the scouting wyvern sent news that a Roman-looking demon was found around the Moon Lake.
The Moon Lake was quite a distance from the Wyvernâs Lair and the terrain was complicated. However, with the speed of Demon King-level wyvern, flying straight in the sky only took a few hours. After arriving at the Moon Lake, he learned from the scouting wyvern that this person had never left the Moon Lakeâs area.
From a distance, he saw a figure sitting on the ground with his back leaning against a big tree by the lake. He was even holding a bottle of wine in his hand and drinking leisurely.
Chen Rui left Dodo next to the wyvern, put on his cloak and mask and approached slowly. Surely, it was Roman who gave Chen Rui the infatuation ring at Mountain Xilang.
Race: Sloth Royal Family; Comprehensive Strength Assessment: C
The advanced showed Romanâs detailed levels of strength: middle stage of the Demon King!
Speaking of which, when they were at the entrance of Mountain Xilangâs main pit, Roman unsheathed his daggers while facing Chen Rui, who was still a Higher Demon. It could be considered as he thought highly of Chen Rui. However, his liking to show off was a bigger factor. Otherwise, if Roman decided to kill at the beginning, even if Chen Rui had the âDark Willâ, he couldnât escape from Roman.
According to the progress of Star Conversion and the characteristics of Alkaid state, Chen Ruiâs strength might be lower than that of middle-stage Demon King, but he wasnât far behind. Thinking of the scene where his was easily sliced by Roman, a sense of competitiveness rose in his heart.
Roman had long noticed that someone was approaching. However, since Chen Rui maintained the breath of peak Higher Demon with now, Roman was still drinking alcohol by himself as if he didnât see Chen Rui.
âIâm here for you.â
Roman glanced at him lazily, âI donât know you.â Chen Rui suddenly thought of the woman in Town Leiaâs dungeon who had died in the flame. He took a deep breath and said coldly, âItâs fine that you donât know me, as long as you know a woman youâve hooked up with.â
âThe women that Iâve hooked up with are at least hundreds if not a thousand.â Roman took a sip of alcohol and still sat still, âHow do I know who you are talking about?â
That amount made Chen Rui feel speechless. He said coldly, âAlthough the woman didnât ask me to, Iâve decided to beat you up for her.â âSo, you are a woman-pleasing man. You didnât want to live anymore?â Roman took a look at him and finished his wine, âHowever, because of that, I can let you go back to meet your woman alive.â
âYouâre wrong. This woman has nothing to do with me. Also... sheâs dead.â Chen Ruiâs tone suddenly lowered.
That sentence made Roman frown. Then, he saw that Chen Rui had already rushed to his face and punched toward him. The speed and strength were far beyond expectations, and it was by no means what Higher Demon could achieve.
At that moment, Chen Ruiâs eyes looked strange. In , Roman had no information anymore. Almost immediately, his punch passed straight through the body of âRomanâ without any resistance: !
When did Roman cast skills to evade? There was no sign at all! When he was a Higher Demon earlier, Chen Rui couldnât see through Romanâs speed. However, it was still the same even when their strengths were close now!
When that punch missed, a notification came from . At the same time, a sense of crisis came from behind together with a strong wind.
Chen Rui moved his mind and teleported to evade that blow. When Chen Rui had just stabilized his body, he saw Roman rushing toward him at an incredible speed. He had reached to the front of Chen Rui in the blink of an eye.
Chen Rui finally witnessed the real speed of Roman. There was a creepy feeling in his heart. If was comparable to lightning, then Roman was like chain lightning. With a few flickers, he had surpassed the distance of and appeared in front of him.
Not just his movement but his attacking speed was equally horrible. His fists seemed to have turned into dozens. Chen Rui had a thought and the âstridebugâ for acceleration had appeared under his feet. Chen Ruiâs agility surprised Roman, but in terms of speed, Roman had absolute confidence. So, he attacked again in the blink of an eye. With the help of stridebug, Chen Ruiâs speed was still inferior.
Chen Rui waved his hand and a khaki light appeared on the surface of Romanâs body. Suddenly, Roman felt that his action was slowed as if he was stuck by glue. He felt very strenuous: Earth magic, !
With Stridebug and , Chen Ruiâs speed was above Romanâs. âPoom!â, Roman defended Chen Ruiâs punch. Suddenly, a green light lit up around Romanâs body. Under that green light, his terrifying speed began to recover. Chen Rui switched from attacking to defending and later into dodging.
The green light was the wind magic, . Like the âcloaked manâ, Romanâs magic casting didnât need chanting. However, his actually couldnât cancel out the âs effect which made him shocked.
The canceling of magic depended on the purity and level of magical power. Although Romanâs strength level was higher than Chen Rui, his âpurityâ of magical power was far inferior. If based solely on the purity of earth magic, no one in the Demon Realm could match Chen Rui that possessed the earth elemental heart.
Unfortunately, Chen Rui knew nothing about magic personally. All the earth magic that could be cast depended on the earth elemental heartâs strength. Thus, both the level and time were limited. Otherwise, if he could instantly cast high-level magic at ease, there would be no room for those necromancers and liches anymore.
Seeing that the effect of was ending, Chen Rui waved his hand again. This time, it was actually a buff: !
The wind magic, could increase speed, but itâd reduce oneâs defense. , on the contrary, could increase defense, but there was also a âside effectâ, which was greatly reducing in speed.
Romanâs brows frowned tightly. This opponentâs magical power is extremely pure. He layered a variety of magic on me and all of them were actually effective. That was quite âsinisterâ and made Romanâs speed reduced again.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Before Chen Ruiâs magic ended, a third magic was cast again. Roman felt that the surrounding soil was lowered by a layer and his bodyâs weight suddenly doubled, !
was already the highest level magic that Chen Rui could cast. Romanâs speed advantage was limited to the minimal under this magic. His eyes looked more serious. This guyâs magic casting speed is very fast, and he didnât chant any spell at all. Itâs either he has extreme proficiency in magic or... itâs the royal familyâs mastery talent!
... could it be the Beelzebub?
Roman wasnât a push-over. Two daggers had appeared in his hands, and his eyes were full of killing intention.
The two attacked and defended each other, and they were equally matched. The effects of and began to disappear, but still existed. A touch of coldness flashed past Romanâs left eye and his bodyâs breath flared up.
In Chen Ruiâs , Romanâs strength suddenly changed. C+! The peak of Demon King! This guy really can control his combat power with ease!
The Roman who reached the peak of Demon King was even faster. The repeated use of the same magic in a short period of time would have greatly reduced effect. Besides, Chen Rui had no time to cast magic at all. The sharp wind from the blade had gotten close to his body, so he could only teleport to dodge.
Romanâs figure flickered quickly and approached. His two daggers were like lightning, forming a dense blade net that was covering Chen Rui. At that moment, a translucent crystal dome appeared around Chen Rui suddenly. The blade net, which was enough to cut steel into pieces, struck onto the dome, but it took no damage.
Romanâs hands turned into thousands of . With Chen Ruiâs eyesight, he actually couldnât see the movement of Romanâs hands clearly. If he didnât hear the hissing sound of high-speed attack from the shield, he wouldâve thought it was just an illusion. Paglioâs Great Demon King-level speed is exactly like this!
! This must be what Athena once mentioned, the most famous bloodline talent of the Belphegor Royal Family!
Belphegorâs 3 talents: , , and . The talent, made the Belphegor Royal Family, which was known as âslothâ, to have a terrifying speed that was superior against all royal families!
Since the start, Chen Rui used the Super Systemâs strength to overpower those of the same level easily. He could even challenge levels above him. Now, when he witnessed Romanâs strength, only he knew that there were more talented people out there. The Demon Realm was full of powerhouses. Even Demon King was just middle-level strength.
One should be confident but not complacent. If one was blinded, the road ahead would be more rugged.
The protective cover was gradually unbearable, and there were countless tiny cracks like spider webs. Chen Rui secretly thought that he should probably end this welcoming and practice match. If this continued, he had to use ultimate moves like the to save himself. So, he quickly shouted, âWait! Roman, you really donât recognize me?â
When Roman was called by his real name by Chen Rui, his frown froze and he paused. However, his murderous intentions werenât withdrawn, but became increasingly intense instead.
Those who could recognize him were either friends or persistent enemies. He didnât remember having such a friend who was proficient in magic or from the Beelzebub Royal Family.
Chen Rui took off the mask on his face, but this time he had a different intention in mind. He used his look on earth, which was âRichardâsâ look, âTake a good look with your left eye, do you still remember me?â
Romanâs left eye lit up with a faint light. He examined Chen Rui carefully and looked suspicious, then it became confusion, âIâve never seen you! Who are you?â
Surely as expected! Chen Rui was secretly pleased and almost said, âDo you remember Xia Yuhe from the Daming Lake? []â
At Mountain Xilang previously, he was once seen through by Roman. Now that his skill had been promoted to , Romanâs could no longer see it through. Similarly, Isabella also couldnât see through his hidden strength.
Roman stretched his arms, but his strength was at the edge of exploding, âI donât remember seducing your woman. Iâll give you 10 seconds. If you canât give me a satisfactory answer, then I have to kill you.â
âEven if my womanâs standing in front of you, you wouldnât dare to seduce.â Chen Rui removed his cover and a faint light appeared on his hand, âRemember this?â
As he said, he slashed to the side of Roman. The power of was no longer what it used to be. Although it was only slashing the air, the swordâs qi left a deep mark on the ground beside Roman.
Romanâs eyes lit up. He seemed to remember something, but that personâs strength in his impression wasnât...
âWhy not we bet again? Weâll bet on whether I can escape from your hands today.â Chen Rui smiled. A ring appeared on the middle finger of his left hand, and he waved his head.
When Roman heard those words, he felt familiar. When he saw the âDark Willâ, he finally confirmed his assumption. Looking at the gradually changing face that finally became familiar, Roman thought for a moment and his murderous intention was gradually withdrawn.
Strictly speaking, this man isnât a true friend, but a friendâs âcloseâ friend. However, he is not an enemy at least.
âMy friend, you really hurt my heart.â Romanâs dagger was gone instantly. It was replaced with a bottle of wine in his hands, then he threw it over, âI remember giving you the infatuation ring last time, but youâre actually not wearing it. That is a symbol of our friendship.â
