Prime Originator

Without a surprise, the Purple Coatl Dragon Clan lived up to its name as a sub-race of dragons that possesses powerful strength and physiques.

Each Purple Coatl Dragon Clan member was fully capable of fighting other beings above their level.

The High-rank Greater Demon-level Purple Coatl Dragon had no problem competing with Peak-rank Greater Demon-level beings.

Alas, it met Leon.

He was someone who could put up a fight with Low-rank Arch Demons.

Leon hunted down the Purple Coatl Dragons one by one while preserving their bodies as best he could before tossing them in his Worldspace and infuriating Lord Nidra even further in the process.

Peng! Peng!

Their bodies clashed like the clangs of metals as Lord Nidra exchanged blows with Leon while pursuing him like a mad dog.

Before Lord Nidra realized it, he was already the last surviving dragon in his group.

"Remember, you asked for this," Leon calmly stated.

"We are the proud Purple Coatl Dragon Clan, one of the Nine Great Clans! We can be killed but not humiliated!" Lord Nidra roared madly.

"You're just a feather-winged serpent, much inferior to the Dark Wyrm Clan in terms of True Dragon ancestry. What the hell do you have to be proud of when even the Dark Wyrm Clan is willing to pledge their allegiance to me?"

Leon looked back at the High Greater Demon-level Purple Coatl Dragon with ridicule.

"I don't even realize the insurmountable gap between us. Did you think you are still alive because I can't kill you? I was merely testing the strength of my fleshly body. And now that I have tested it, I have no further use for you, alive, that is."

"Nonsense! Even if you are a Noble Demon, it's impossible for the powerful Dark Wyrm Clan to lower themselves to someone weak like you!"

Lord Nidra refused to the proud dragon race could do such a thing.

…

A short while later, the High-rank Greater Demon-level Purple Coatl Dragon died at the hands of Leon, stubborn and unconvinced of the truth until the end.

"I don't know whether all dragon races are prideful like this one, but these nine great demon clans sure have overinflated egos and pride," Leon muttered to himself.

He swept a glance over the demons in the Bone Sea but didn't see them planning any form of retaliation against him for wiping out the Purple Coatl Dragon Clan group.

He ignored them and headed back to the western region without further delay.

The Purple Coatl Dragon Blood is best absorbed when it is fresh.

…

After Leon disappeared from the Bone Sea region, the Lesser and Greater Demons all wiped their sweat, feeling like they could breathe again.

"What a scary person; the Purple Coatl Dragon Clan couldn't even put up a decent fight against that person," Lord Helshan softly muttered with lingering trepidation.

But after the trepidation faded, an important question popped up for every demon in the Bone Sea region.

"Why is there a Noble Demon here?" a Mid-rank Evil Eye Greater Demon frowned.

"I want to ask the same question," a Red-Horn Orc Greater Demon also voiced his doubts, "If we had a Noble Demon among us, we would have known about it beforehand."

"This Noble Demon popped out of nowhere, and he had to have a human appearance no less! There's something strange about this!" another Greater Demon added.

Demon-born humans exist, but not in their Starfall Dominion.

And the reason they don't keep the Eternal Night Secret Realm open indefinitely is to protect their monopoly of it.

They did not want it to attract the other more powerful dominions to it.

"This Noble Demon couldn't have come from the other dominion; we would have known. In that case, that only means one thing…"

The Mid-rank Evil Eye Greater Demon spoke gravely, attracting the other Greater Demons' undivided attention.

"Which is?" a Greater Demon asked with a frown, displeased by the suspense.

"Don't tell me you are thinking that a human obtained a powerful inheritance and became a Noble Demon, are you?"

"No, that's exactly what I'm thinking," the Mid-rank Evil Eye Greater Demon firmly replied.

"But that's impossible," a Mid-rank Black Jackal Greater Demon rejected the possibility.

"What kind of inheritance could turn a normal human of the Infertile Plains into a Noble Demon?"

"He would have to be a demon-born human at the very least! But even then, it would still mean that the human obtained an extraordinary inheritance!"

"There is one such inheritance, one that all the leaders and elders of the Nine Great Clans are trying to get their hands on…" the Mid-rank Evil Eye Greater Demon mentioned.

After a brief moment of silence, the Greater Demons all had a change in their expression.

"Don't tell me… that Noble Demon obtained the Eternal Night Demon Emperor's inheritance?!" the Red-Horn Orc Greater Demon shrieked.

"How is that possible?! No, it's not just impossible; it is unacceptable!"

The Greater Demons erupted with outrage.

How could they let an outsider take the Eternal Night Secret Realm's most desired and prized inheritance?

"This won't do! We have to alert the leader and elders of our discovery!"

"That's right! Even if we are mistaken, the possibility of the secret realm being infiltrated by a Noble Demon from another dominion isn't something we can ignore!"

"Dammit, I just resurfaced to take a breather, but I'm already forced to dive again," a Three-Headed Serpent Greater Demon complained.

Nevertheless, it splashed back into the Bone Sea without hesitation.

At the same time, the rest of the Greater Demons affiliated to the Nine Great Clans also followed suit and dived into the deep sea, rushing to inform their leaders and elders.

…

Meanwhile, Leon returned to the western shores, satisfied with his gain, while unaware of the incoming storm due to another one of the demons' blind speculations on the Eternal Night Demon Emperor's inheritance.

"My Lord, you're back!" Saresha and Nyfarella quickly welcomed Leon's return.

As more dark faes rushed over to welcome him, the new dark fae group craned their necks to look with curiosity before all their expressions froze with shock.

"H-he is the new lord that you all s-serve?!" one of the new dark faes exclaimed.
