Chapter 68.1 – Reader: Eat, sleep, compete
Du Ze wondered if Xiu was aware of it. In the torch’s light, Xiu’s face was gloomy and dark. He stared at Belial’s teleportation array and said: “Continue.”
Xiu pulled Du Ze into the teleportation array. Violet and Alice wiped away their tears and followed with the others. Du Ze gazed at Xiu’s figure and wanted to open his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.
They left arena 68 and came to arena 67. Because the demon sisters haven’t calmed down yet, Old John fought. The 67th demon god only lasted for a few seconds before he was torn down by Old John’s katar and turned into a teleportation array.
Old John glanced at the place where the demon god had vanished and said to Xiu: “The Little Master should have also noticed that the demon god is a mid-level Sword Master.”
“They’re going to get stronger,” said Xiu. He looked up at the arena above them and continued while smiling: “Otherwise it would be too boring.”
Xiu’s prediction was confirmed in arena 61. The 61st demon god had the strength of a high-level Sword Master. Based on this progression, it was possible to infer that every six demon gods would be a higher level in strength. If the 54th demon has the strength of a low-level Grand Sword Master, then every 18 levels the demon gods will have the strength of a higher class.
With Old John fighting, they advanced quickly. It took only a minute for him to defeat a demon god and they quickly reached arena 54. As expected, the 54th demon god was indeed a low-level Grand Sword Master. Du Ze calculated that if things continue this way, they will encounter a Sword Saint in arena 36 and a War God in arena 18.
Du Ze assessed their team. The demon sisters are only in the Sword Master level, but with the addition of the Sword Saint Old John and the black dragon Muir, plus the Moe Lord whose power level is over 9000 – with such a magnificent lineup, even with the negative combat fighting ability of himself and Ariel, they can surely steamroll the opponents in the demon god arena.
The silly, cute reader felt gloomy. This arena was surely installed by the plot god to copy the novel’s 72 demon cities story arc.
In this way the team fought their way up to arena 38. For the first time after Belial, they encountered a second demon god who was conscious: Halphas. Compared to Belial who took the initiative to to sacrifice herself for them, the “unfriendly to humans and loves to dine on their flesh” demon god Halphas’ attitude was much more… malicious.
“I don’t want to accept this situation. You have the future that should belong to me while I am imprisoned here.” Halphas said in a hoarse voice: “There is nothing here except people who are climbing the tower, swarming like locusts – like you.”
“The only thing I am happy about is that some of the people climbing the tower have brought me a lot of food. The meat of the human race has always been difficult to get.” Halphas’ blood-red eyes were on Du Ze. He licked his lips then said to Xiu: “If you give me that human, for Bael’s sake, I will consider letting you pass.”
“Ah … This man is really delicious.” Xiu said with a smile. His low voice was sensual enough to make people’s hearts race as they blushed. “But only I can taste him.”
Halphas, in his black dove form, narrowly avoided Xiu’s sword. He flew up the arena before looking down at the horned demon holding a silver-red sword. The demon raised his head and the look in his dark purple eyes was enough to make people shudder,
“You shouldn’t covet him,” Xiu said.
The black dove Halphas made a sound like a hoarse tweet. He spread his wings as far as they would extend then fanned them down. Black feathers shot down like arrows. Muir changed into his dragon form to protect the others. The black feather was unexpectedly sharp, breaking through the dragon’s hard scales. Muir roared in pain. Using his tail, he pulled out the black feather.
