The Demon's Menu-Chapter 1737: Lurking in the Shadows...
Captulo 1737: Chapter 134: Lurking in the Shadows…
Even if the opportunity is right, she could obtain more.
At the thought of this, ‘Qing’s face flushed slightly.
This was excitement.
And anticipation.
She looked at Jason, her eyes seemingly about to drip water.
Her naturally charming appearance, at this moment, completely devoid of previous aloofness, left only allure and…
Bang!
Blood splattered everywhere.
Brains burst.
‘Qing’s head was shattered by a punch!
"Compared to your contract, I trust my contract more!”
Jason glanced at ‘Qing’s body and said straightforwardly.
Was ‘Qing’ ugly?
No, she was not ugly.
On the contrary, her tall figure, charming appearance, along with a cold demeanor, was enough to attract many; but to Jason, it had no effect.
Beauty?
To Jason, it’s not as good as a bowl of pork trotters rice.
If you could give him barbecued goose as well, he would even be grateful.
Using the existing contract of the Undead as a framework, Yao’s spirit appeared.
Then, using Yao’s spirit as a framework, ‘Qing’s spirit also appeared.
The spirits of the two Councilors looked at each other upon appearance.
Especially Yao!
Even now, this Councilor still didn’t know what happened.
However, the power of the contract made it kneel on one knee straight away.
"Greetings, my lord!”
‘Qing’ also knelt on one knee, bowing her head in submission.
At this moment, she instantly understood her situation and then, the only female Councilor among the twelve, said without hesitation: “My lord, I have something to report to you.”
After speaking, she used the [Corpse-speaking Contract] to relay everything she knew to Jason.
"Are you sure?!”
Receiving ‘Qing’s message, even Jason was momentarily surprised.
"My lord, I’m sure!”
"Though hidden, there are still clues.”
‘Qing’ confirmed.
"If that’s the case…”
"Then it will be interesting.”
Jason muttered to himself.
Then instantly altered part of his original plan.
He had initially intended to ‘stand out’ directly.
Now?
No need for that.
After all, the true hider has yet to appear.
However, some plans have not changed.
"Yao, you are responsible for guarding here.”
Jason said.
Though easily defeated by him, Yao’s strength remained formidable.
Placed in the Lower City District, it was a giant among giants.
No one could threaten him.
"Yes, my lord.”
Yao replied in a rough voice.
“‘Old man’, Lauren, I’ll leave this area to you for now, inventory the personnel here, sort the resources, with Yao assisting on defense.”
Jason said to ‘Old Man’, Lauren Delder, who had resurfaced from the ground.
"No problem.”
"Be careful!”
Knowing Jason’s next plan, ‘Old Man’, Lauren Delder advised.
"With ‘Qing’, I already have the most needed map.”
Jason smiled as he said.
For Jason, the greatest concern when entering Area 30 earlier was the danger.
And now?
It’s the map.
Luckily, ‘Qing’, as a survivor of the last war, was extremely familiar with Area 30.
Even familiar with places outside Area 30.
With a wave, temporarily bidding farewell.
Jason, taking ‘Qing’, entered Area 30.
A great battle was imminent.
Naturally, one needs to be well-fed and well-rested.
Jason rubbed his stomach.
He was a bit impatient.
…
‘You’ was also impatient.
"Hurry up!”
"I can’t hold on much longer!”
‘You’ stood in place, the shadow beneath his feet forming shadow creatures, encircling a monster resembling ‘Monda’.
"Monte”, Monda’s brother.
Also one of the ten monster lords.
Perhaps less intelligent than Monda, but much stronger.
‘Zi’ lifted one hand, unleashing wind blades, slicing the surrounding monsters, while the other hand was placed on the crimson portal.
"Got it!”
"Almost done!”
‘Zi’ responded loudly.
The portal gradually shrank.
‘Monte’ roared loudly.
It powerfully attacked the shadow-formed defenses.
Unfortunately, capable of crushing a mountain with strength, its body seemed to fall into a quagmire within the shadow, with its strength continuously dissipating, and it becoming more powerless.
This filled it with anger.
Roar!
In an unprecedented roar, ‘Monte’s body frantically doubled in size.
It crashed again.
Bam!
This time, the shadow defense sounded normal.
“‘Zi, be careful!”
The masked ‘You’ shouted loudly.
The thin man’s voice remained icy, slick, but carried a hint of panic.
As if something unimaginable had happened.
‘Zi,’ who was sealing the ‘Transmission Gate,’ was instantly drawn in.
He turned his head to check.
‘You’ was knocked backwards.
‘Monte’ continued charging with a furious roar.
‘Zi’ thought a new monster lord had appeared here.
However, he didn’t expect the attack to come from behind.
Thud!
A shadow spear pierced through his chest.
His heart was instantly torn apart.
The corrosive power of the shadow spread unstoppably throughout his body, assaulting his life force.
‘Zi’ incredulously turned his head.
He couldn’t believe ‘You’ would do this.
Because, to him, ‘You’ had no reason to do so.
But since it had happened, he needed to…
Signal!
He had to warn others to beware of ‘You’!
But ‘You’ was faster.
Thud!
In the void, a shadow blade swept past ‘Zi’s neck.
His head flew high.
The body knelt and fell.
The rampaging ‘Monte’ had already stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look aside.
His elder brother, ‘Monda,’ appeared there.
"Pleasure working with you!”
The monster lord said.
"Pleasure working with you!”
"From now, it’s up to you!”
‘You’ said these words, lifting ‘Zi’s corpse and walking aside.
"Of course!”
The monster lord gestured to his younger brother.
Roar!
A louder roar followed.
Along with it, appeared ‘Monda’s own presence.
And the previously shrinking crimson ‘Transmission Gate’ started expanding again.
The atmosphere changed.
Roars echoed continuously.
The anomaly here caused the seven ‘councilors’ near the remaining three ‘Transmission Gates’ to frown deeply.
"There’s trouble!”
“‘Monda’ went to ambush ‘Zi’ and ‘You’!”
‘Red Feather,’ ‘Armor,’ ‘Razor Claw,’ ‘Swift,’ ‘Cold Snake,’ ‘Tiger Devourer,’ and ‘Xin’ all thought simultaneously.
Then, ‘Armor,’ ‘Swift,’ and ‘Xin,’ who were the veteran ‘councilors’ surviving the previous war, completed a brief dialogue through ‘Xin’s ability.
"I’ll leave this to you for now!”
‘Xin’ said to ‘Cold Snake’ and ‘Tiger Devourer.’
As he spoke, ‘Xin’ relaxed his clenched fist.
In front of him, the hearts of two of the top ten monster lords had already been crushed.
"Leave it to us.”
‘Cold Snake’ flashed a fake smile.
‘Tiger Devourer’ lowered his head, gnawing on the body of a monster lord.
With each bite, the ferocious aura on ‘Tiger Devourer’ grew stronger.
Beast!
‘Xin’ glanced at ‘Tiger Devourer,’ made an assessment, then turned to leave.
If his ability didn’t take time to activate, he would never bring someone as uncontrollable as ‘Tiger Devourer.’
Just like the current situation!
He always felt the situation was treacherous!
Therefore, without hesitation, he contacted ‘Armor’ and ‘Swift.’
As for that woman ‘Qing’?
No contact.
The previous aura went to the Lower City District.
She must have discovered something, right?
‘Xin’ thought.
Then, without stopping, he headed to the agreed meeting point with ‘Armor’ and ‘Swift.’
‘Armor’ withdrew his blade, without looking at one of the fallen top ten lords, said to ‘Red Feather,’ then turned to leave.
‘Swift’ did the same.
‘Razor Claw’ scratched his head, not daring to stop them.
He was just a newly appointed ‘councilor,’ though with a prestigious identity, he still couldn’t compare to veteran ‘councilors,’ especially in strength, where the gap was more than significant.
Just like the monster lord ‘Swift’ shredded.
He had the confidence to approach.
But to win?
Almost impossible.
And ‘Swift’?
He sliced the opponent to pieces in no time.
"Still too far behind!”
‘Razor Claw’ sighed as he prepared to turn and close the ‘Transmission Gate.’
And at this moment, a battered ‘You’ appeared.
‘You’ appeared running and shouting —
"Be careful!”
