A Demon's Journey-Chapter 571 Convincing The Demon King

The Demon King, deep within the third layer of the Forbidden Forest, received Yrellea's message. He contacted Yrellea and asked her the same question as that Demon Lord before him.

"The Vicious Lightning Paragon's disciple, the Archer King will move into the Herbal Garden in the third layer. Kill him and you can spread your fame," Yrellea informed the demons on the other side.

The Archer King's prestige was incredibly high in the Pinhian Republic. A Demon King could indeed spread the terror of his name by killing him. In fact, the Archer King's fame was so great that even the Demon King was a bit unsure of killing him.

"Seek out allies and create a trap for him in the Herbal Garden. I want him to die," Yrellea spoke out with a resolute tone.

The Demon King snorted in response and asked, "And who am I speaking to?"

"You should have successfully guessed that I am a demon from my Demonic Ardor on that letter," Yrellea spoke.

The Demon King responded, "Yes. You are merely a Demon Lord. How did you come across this information?"

"…You don't need to know that. Just monitor the entrance of the herbal garden. You will see the Archer King entering it. Just make sure to gather your allies and attack him," Yrellea spoke.

She then quickly added, "You will also see a human woman along with the Archer King exploring the herbal garden. Escort her out of the Forbidden Forest safely."

"Why should I do that?" The Demon King inquired while ridiculing tone.

Yrellea had expected that this Demon King would say something like this. She explained, "If you gather Demon Kings and kill the Archer King, people won't experience much terror through your name. In fact, the Archer King's prowess would become a legend. You will become weak demons who had to band together to kill him. However, I can change that!"

The Demon King was a bit displeased as Yrellea put it like that, but he had to admit that she was indeed speaking the truth.

"How?" He asked.

Yrellea spoke, "I have an organization that can quickly gather or spread information in the Pinhian Republic. If I want, I can easily manipulate the information of how the Archer King lost his life. The other two Demon Kings won't ever be mentioned. What do you say?"

She knew that this was an extremely lucrative deal for the Demon King. It had been years, if not decades since anyone fought these Demon Kings. People had even started to forget these Demon Kings' names.

Yrellea had presented a golden opportunity to gain prestige and terror in the human civilization. The terror gathered through this would be so great that the Demon King would be quickly strengthened.

Once the Demon King digests that strength, he could truly reach the peak of the Demon King Rank and start to break through to the Demon Emperor rank.

"…How can I trust you? How can I know that you have such an organization? How can I know that you will definitely spread only my name in the Pinhian Republic?" The Demon King inquired these three questions quickly.

In response, Yrellea answered with her own questions, "How can I know that you will attack the Archer King? How can I know that you will win that battle? How can I know if you will let that woman next to the Archer King live?"

"We both have something that the other want. I have my connections while you have your power. We need to trust each other to achieve our objectives. I know that trusting others isn't easy for you. But we have no other choice," Yrellea further added.

These words actually convinced the Demon King.

"…Very well. You have a deal, human," The Demon King spoke.

Yrellea cut off the connection after speaking those words.

The Demon King felt that this mysterious human was speaking the truth. He sent one of his close subordinates to keep an eye on the entrance of the herbal garden. This subordinate was an extremely powerful Demon Lord. Moreover, his Bloodline Skill was to blend into shadows. 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐oｍ

Not even the Demon King could detect him after this Demon Lord used his Bloodline Skill. Thus, there was a low chance that the Archer King could discover this Demon Lord.

Yrellea quickly contacted Tiana.

"Listen, when the Demon Kings attack, quickly leave the area and return to your current location. There is no telling if the Demon Kings will abide by the deal. There is no contract binding him," Yrellea was quite worried about Tiana.

Meanwhile, Tiana was actually calm about this entire scenario.

"…Don't worry, I will be careful," Tiana responded.

"I did give the Demon King enough incentive to not harm you. But there is no telling about the other two," Yrellea spoke.

"I see. I will ask Snow to be on standby. If I have her, I am confident of leaving the Forbidden Forest quickly. Besides, from what I noticed; Rueben's strength is no joke. I believe he can handle them for a day or two," Tiana spoke.

Yrellea was definitely relieved to hear those words. She knew that this was only natural. All the five disciples of Vicious Lightning Paragon were monsters. And the Archer King was a monster among them.

However, she was also sure that Rueben's death would completely shake the Vicious Lightning Paragon and his other disciples.

The Vicious Lightning Paragon won't be stupid enough to enter the third layer of the Forbidden Forest. If he entered the third layer, the Death Inducing Demon Emperor is sure to attack the Vicious Lightning Paragon.

At that time, Yrellea planned to present a deal to the Church of Mubesni. She planned to have them help the Vicious Lightning Paragon in dealing with the Death Inducing Demon Emperor.

In return, Yrellea planned to help them spread the Church of Mubesni's religion. By implanting suggestions into the people's minds, Yrellea could easily manipulate their actions.

Through this, the Church of Mubesni will actually help her expand the business. The Misty Flower Pavilion would soon be in the entire Pinhian Republic.

The Vicious Lightning Paragon's battle with the Death Inducing Demon Emperor was found to attract all the leaders of their territories. In fact, even the Demon Lords from the second layer were bound to come.

These Demon Lords or even the Demon Kings would be helpless while the Emperor Ranked Experts found against each other, but this would be a great opportunity to witness the battle of a Demon Emperor. They were definitely not going to miss that.

In the meantime, Tiana would also take her group and cross the borders to reach the Empire of Qian Guo.

A day later, Tiana and Rueben were heading into the third layer of the Forbidden Forest. Rueben informed his master about his journey into the third layer.

The Vicious Lightning Paragon's reaction was rather mild. He asked Rueben to not head into the third layer, but Rueben remained adamant. Upon learning the reason that it was to help someone in need, the Vicious Lightning Paragon gave his approval.

It was only natural since the Vicious Lightning Paragon had visited the third layer when he was a King Ranked Expert. It was definitely dangerous, but he believed that Rueben could handle it.

It took more than a week for Tiana and Rueben to reach the entrance of the herbal garden in the third layer.

The Demon King soon heard from his subordinate that two humans have entered the herbal garden.

The Demon King immediately understood that Yrellea was speaking the truth. He quickly visited the nearby territories of the Demon Kings.

The Archer King had entered the herbal garden! It was time to make their names resound in the world again!
