Chapter 1660: Chapter 914: The Hidden Truth Behind It (2)

And the black-robed mage, he originally wanted to break Lis’s control over Silas with the Mage’s Hand, but he couldn’t shake Lis’s Magic Power at all.

He continuously increased the output of his Mana, but the ethereal hand still tightly gripped Silas’s neck without showing any sign of loosening.

He never expected that the Spell he used would be directly countered by Lis.

The backlash of Magic Power erupted within his body, causing the black-robed mage to tremble suddenly, his face pale as a ghost.

His eyes widened in fear and pain.

Under the impact of this backlash, the black-robed mage directly bled from the ears and nose, on the verge of collapsing.

Ultimately, he fainted and fell heavily to the ground.

Lis did not wait much longer, his eyes turned cold, and he lightly waved his right hand in front of him.

A thin Blood Blade quickly condensed in front of him, the blade flickered with a bizarre light, as if it contained infinite killing intent.

Immediately, the Blood Blade expanded rapidly, like the sickle of the Death God, with an unstoppable momentum.

Everyone, including the Silver Armored Warrior, had no time to react before their bodies were directly severed by the sudden Blood Blade.

They watched in horror as their bodies divided into two halves, blood gushing out, staining the surrounding ground red.

Their eyes were filled with unwillingness and despair, but everything was already irreparable.

At this moment, only Silas controlled by Lis remained alive on the entire wall.

Silas watched this tragic scene before him, filled with fear and despair in his heart.

His body trembled uncontrollably; if not for being lifted up by Lis, he would have knelt directly to the ground.

He even felt a wave of heat spreading from his lower body.

He never imagined that the elite guard by his side would be so vulnerable before Lis.

He didn’t know what kind of fate awaited him, only helplessly waiting for Lis’s command.

As this brutal slaughter came to an end, corpses littered the wall in all directions?

Blood flowed like a stream, dyeing the walls a striking dark red, the air thick with the pungent scent of blood.

Lis stood in the chaos, blood flowing by his feet.

This slaughter brought him a supreme thrill, a twisted pleasure from wanton trampling upon life.

The souls that had not yet dissipated were seemingly drawn by invisible threads, attracting Lis’s gaze.

His eyes gradually blurred, a trace of madness and greed quietly appearing within, as if a Demon in his heart was stirring.

However, Lis was not a brute completely driven by desire.

This impulse from deep within was like a spark of wildfire, quelled quickly by his forceful suppression.

He furrowed his brow, a solemn expression appearing on his face.

With his strength constantly increasing, he felt even more clearly the madness and destruction in the Demon souls.

The influence on him was becoming increasingly evident.

At the moment, this influence was still within his control.

But Lis knew in his heart that once he broke through to the Legendary Realm, it might affect his thoughts.

The influence brought by the Demon soul was more pronounced than Lis had previously estimated.

He needed to think of a solution.

Lis firmly noted this urgent problem in his mind.

Then, Lis suppressed the desire for souls and flesh around him and looked dismissively at the disheveled Silas, saying:

"Now, answer whatever I ask, understand?"

"Yes, yes, sir, I will tell you everything I know!"

Silas prostrated on the ground, quickly kowtowing, his voice trembling:

"Ask what you wish, just spare my life."

Subsequently, Lis began questioning the Prince about what concerned him.

...

After a while,

Lis left the wall and returned to Hanna’s carriage.

Originally, Theodore wanted to drive the carriage to escape directly.

Facing such a barrage of Magic Arrows and troops, Theodore thought that Edward, this so-called Demon, no matter how strong, wasn’t their opponent.

Escaping quickly was the best option.

After all, under such strength, a Golden Rank warrior’s prowess shouldn’t be a match.

But Edward’s strength again exceeded their expectations.

He single-handedly blocked all attacks and even fought directly to the wall.

To Theodore, this was simply inconceivable.

Could it be... that the Abyss Demon Hanna summoned was a Legendary Level powerhouse?

But besides the Morlock Temple, could such a Legend exist in this world?

It shouldn’t be!

In the records of the Grant family, there is a description of the Endless Abyss and Abyss Demons, certainly there are Legendary Level Abyss Demons.

But the Grant family has never summoned one.

After all, the price paid was something the Grant family couldn’t bear.

Under Hanna’s happenstance, could she have successfully summoned a Legendary Demon?

Theodore thought to himself, but he didn’t say it out loud nor tell Hanna.

Not knowing these things might be more suitable for Hanna.

Thinking this, Theodore became somewhat relieved.

If Edward was truly a Legendary Demon, then Theodore didn’t need to think much.

Struggling in the face of a Legend was meaningless.

Lis looked at Hanna and said with a smile:

"I learned something interesting, Little Hanna, want to know?"

"It’s related to the Grant family."

"Uh-huh."

Hanna nodded obediently, no matter what Lis wanted to do, she complied willingly.

"The order to destroy the Grant family is different from what I thought; it wasn’t issued by the Samuel Royal Family."

"Or rather, the Samuel Royal Family and those who personally attacked the Grant family were also carrying out this order."

"What?!!"

This time, not only Hanna, but Theodore was also filled with surprise.

In the Samuel Kingdom, undoubtedly the Royal Family is the most formidable force.

Who could command them?

"The result also piqued my interest."

Lis’s mouth curled slightly, slowly saying:

"The one who commanded the Samuel Royal Family to destroy the Grant family was the Morlock Temple!"

"Morlock Temple? But why?"

"The family clearly never offended them, or rather, we’ve never even seen anyone from the Morlock Temple."

Theodore found it hard to believe.

In terms of the Samuel Royal Family, it was already an irrepressible existence for the Grant family.

Then the Morlock Temple was a colossal entity beyond comparison.

How did such a presence focus on the Grant family?

Although the Grant family was quite renowned in the Samuel Kingdom for mastering Demon Summoning, the family had few powerful individuals.

Theodore was already one of the strongest in the family.

Why does the Morlock Temple wish to obliterate the Grant family?

Originally, Theodore and Hanna thought that leaving the Samuel Kingdom meant safety.

Now it seems that leaving the Samuel Kingdom and entering the Ryan Kingdom is like entering the lion’s den!

Know that the Morlock Temple is situated within the Ryan Kingdom.

"So, where do you plan to go next?"

Lis looked at Hanna and Theodore, saying with a smile.

To Lis, this truly intrigued him.

According to Silas, the Samuel Royal Family didn’t actually want to destroy the Grant family.

After all, which family was more suitable to become an effective weapon than the Grant family?

The Grant family wasn’t inherently strong, only outstanding in Demon Summoning.

Regardless, it wields considerable influence over other Nobles and Kingdoms.

The Grant family had always been obedient, hence the Samuel Royal Family valued the Grant family.

But still, in the face of Morlock Temple’s firm demand, the Samuel Royal Family didn’t have the courage to refuse.

In Lis’s view, the Morlock Temple was rather more interesting.

The Grant family existed for so long without issue, why suddenly decide to annihilate them?

Recently... Gaia World faced threats from Abyss Evil Gods led by the Spider Queen Rose.

So, is this preemptively eradicating threats within their territory?

Then this Morlock Temple must not belong to the Evil God’s side.

Without spreading faith...

Could it belong to some neutral force?
