Chapter 497: Crisis
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Himmel Soan no longer looked like an old man.
“That’s the effect of the door. How amazing!”
Although Himmel Soan had experienced old age before, this was the first time he recovered so fast.
The door of life.
Was it a door that could turn death into life?
What about the door of death? Would it work the other way around?
He couldn’t begin to imagine what would happen if he had entered the other door.
The crisis earlier came from death. He really could have died. He couldn’t let that happen before he found Gina.
Well…
Himmel Soan sighed and took out the dagger. There were much fewer stringers here. It meant he was getting closer and closer to the demonic god.
He marched on.
Soon, he made the bald demon and his team at the next location. They also spotted him.
“You’re from that group!” The bald demon was shocked. He didn’t expect to see one of the cannon fodders here.
“You have a good memory,” said Himmel Soan.
He didn’t feel much about most demons, but the bald demon disgusted him. If he and Firey hadn’t been in the magma, all those demons would have been killed.
Himmel Soan never liked a cruel person.
“How did you get here? Have you been pretending this whole time?
“I’ve been wondering why we didn’t see the cannon fodders’ bodies at the door and how they got inside so fast.
“It was you. I’ve underestimated you!” the bald demon said coldly.
He had suspected Himmel Soan before because he was so relaxed when he joined the team. He didn’t seem nervous at all, and his face was as blank as a piece of paper.
However, after some examination, the bald demon decided there was nothing special about Himmel Soan, so he just ignored this “young demon.”
Including Himmel Soan in the scout group was part of the bald demon’s plan. He wanted to gauge his actual capability. After all, the first group was meant to fight the guards.
The bald demon wanted to see how Himmel Soan fought.
However, nothing happened, and the bald demon soon forgot about it. He never expected to meet Himmel Soan again. He didn’t know if he was frightened or pleasantly surprised.
“I never pretended anything. I was just being myself. You made too many assumptions. When are you going to move out of my way?” Himmel Soan said indifferently.
He never showed the bald demon any respect, but he didn’t seem to mind it. It was as if he didn’t notice Himmel Soan’s tone.
“There’s an armory up ahead, and it has five sophisticated formations. Five of us have to solve them simultaneously.
“We don’t want to block your way, but we can’t get through, either. Do you know how to solve formations?” the bald demon asked.
Including him, only three demons knew how to work a formation, but they needed five. Therefore, they were waiting here for two more demons with the requisite knowledge.
It would be great if Himmel Soan could help. That way, they would only need one more demon.
“If you knew you would run into these formations here, why did you use those demons as scouts? You were aware that the magma would kill them. You also understood the route, but you lied about it.
“I don’t understand what you want.” Himmel Soan listed all the strange things the bald demon had done and accused him of lying.
He had examined the formations that the bald demon mentioned and could solve them all by himself.
However, with the bald demon here, he didn’t want to waste so much effort. Moreover, the bald demon could have a hidden agenda.
“I don’t care who solves the formation. I’m not doing it. I don’t know anything about formations. Take your time.” Himmel Soan then walked to a big rock.
As soon as he sat down, he switched to his cultivation mode.
Seeing this, the bald demon stopped talking. One should never disturb someone when the latter was cultivating.
Although Himmel Soan was pretending to be cultivating, the bald demon still didn’t bother him.
“What’s his problem? He acts as if he’s more important than me!” Imm was displeased with Himmel Soan’s attitude.
He couldn’t stand the other party’s arrogance. To him, he was just an ordinary demon.
Why does he act like he’s some higher authority??thought Imm.
“If you don’t like him, tell him so yourself. Don’t lash out at me!” the bald demon said coldly.
First, Himmel Soan gave him the cold shoulder, and now, Imm was complaining. He wouldn’t take that.
Hirba asked, “Is there something special about him?”
That sounded much more polite than what Imm said.
Well…
They were wondering about the same thing, but how they expressed it was very different. The bald demon glanced at Imm and explained, “He’s a mysterious man.
“You all got this far because I led you here, but he has been on his own this whole time. Either he’s very capable, or he knows this tomb as well as I do.
“Anybody who knows the tomb well can’t be an ordinary demon.”
That was all the bald demon said. There were things that he could tell them, but certain things were better left unsaid.
Just then, they heard footsteps again. The bald demon looked in that direction.
“Ould?! Muld?! How’s that possible? How can they still be alive?!”
Both Hirba and the bald demon were shocked.
Hirba had betrayed them. He also felt guilty when he saw the two brothers.
The bald demon was simply puzzled.
