Prime Originator

Swish!

In the blink of an eye, Aria and Darlene both disappeared before reappearing next to Shadowtail on the west shore.

"What the f—"

Without a surprise, Shadowtail was startled by their sudden presence

"Ah, it's you two," Shadowtail quickly recognized them and sweated, having nearly swatted the both of them to death with its tail out of reflex.

"Where is Lord Leon, if I may ask, miladies?" Shadowtail inquired.

"I don't know; he had something to do," Aria shook her head before saying, "However, if you really need to reach him, Senior, you can seek the realm spirit's assistance to connect you to him."

"More importantly, what's going on here?" Aria asked shortly after.

Aria and Darlene both tried to narrow their eyes to observe the situation in the Bone Sea, but the distance made it difficult for them to see clearly.

"Ah, nothing to worry about, miladies. Just some imbeciles who had ill-intentions against Lord Leon, so I sent my clansmen to punish them all with death," Shadowtail answered.

"You don't hesitate to slaughter demons, huh?" Darlene casually commented.

Shortly after, her gaze fell on a Purple Coatl Dragon's corpse floating on the water surface amidst hundreds of other dead sea monsters who were unfortunate enough to be caught in the attack.

"And other dragon species too," she added.

"Lord Leon is our Dark Wyrm Clan's hope and future. Anyone who wishes to harm our Lord will have to pay the ultimate price for it," Shadowtail casually said with a firm look, "And we don't have any care for dragon clans that are not our own."

"Hoh? But you seem quite eager to serve; perhaps, a little too eager," Aria mentioned while looking at Shadowtail with a thoughtful look.

Under her knowing look, Shadowtail failed to keep a solemn expression and smiled awkwardly.

"Please stop looking at me like that, milady," Shadowtail requested wryly.

It wasn't strange for the entire Dark Wyrm Clan to eagerly serve Leon after what he had shown them—the great potential that dwells in their dragon blood.

"Everyone is trying to contribute in hopes that Lord Leon would reward us with more blood-refinement sessions," Shadowtail explained.

"I see," Aria smiled.

She wasn't surprised to hear that.

…

Meanwhile, the battle of unprecedented chaos and commotion in the Bone Sea spread like wildfire in every direction.

Whether the other humans and demons were busy fighting each other or challenging uncleared tombs, everyone felt the disturbance in the Bone Sea and had their curiosity drawn to it.

…

While many things were going on in the secret realm for everyone, Leon continued to accumulate energy in the depths of the Bone Sea while being fully aware of the situation on the surface.

'I didn't expect the Dark Wyrm Clan to try and exterminate the demons so thoroughly… I underestimate their desire to awaken their bloodline…" Leon mused with a wry smile.

He silently observed everything with the realm spirit's omniscience like a god before he noticed the remnant forces of the main demon army successfully fled from the Dark Wyrm Clan's encirclement.

Even though the demons in the upper echelons of the Nine Great Clans were all slaughtered, their last orders successfully transferred to the Greater Demons rushing towards the Bone Sea's central region.

"I'll be back in a bit," Leon suddenly said to the busy Duna in the distance.

"Where are you—"

Swish!

Before Duna could finish asking where he was going, he had already instructed Tak-si to teleport him and disappeared.

"Hmph! How dare you leave before I finish talking to you, Leon!" Duna shouted grudgingly with a grumpy mood.

She vented her frustration by hissing at a Low-rank Arch Demon-level sea monster, and surprisingly, it flinched before swimming away.

"Heh," Duna snickered with a victorious look.

"So after devouring more than 300 souls from these Low-rank Arch Demon-level sea monsters, they finally know what fear is, huh? That's right! Flee, flee as far as you can! Big fish, small fish; you should all be afraid of me!"

Duna threw a little tantrum as she chased away the Low-rank Arch Demon-level sea monsters with just her underwater voice.

However, after cooling her head, she frowned at her own stupidity.

"Why did I chase them all away? Now I have no one to play with until Leon gets back… I guess it's true that stupidity is contagious; you hang with stupid people too much, you become stupid like them," Duna blamed Leon for her thoughtless actions.

Shortly after, she glanced down at the deeper depths of the Bone Sea and decided to challenge the Mid-rank Arch Demon-level sea monsters down below.

Low-rank Arch Demon-level sea monsters were no longer a challenge for her.

At the same time, Leon saw and heard everything Duna said through the realm spirit's omniscience, even after he arrived in the Bone Sea's central region.

"Damn, why did you have to blame me when you've been killing beings of lesser intelligence than me?" Leon's lips twitched.

F*ck, why was he even comparing himself to Low-rank Arch Demon-level sea monsters in terms of intelligence, anyway?

Goddammit.

"W-Who are you?! When did you get there?!" a sudden stern shout resounded in the area.

He shifted his gaze to the source and found a Peak-rank Greater Demon glaring at him while he was standing on top of their large Teleportation Array, which took on the appearance of a large circular stone gate.

After glancing around, he also noticed hundreds of other Greater Demons gathered in the area, all glaring at him warily.

Leon had appeared out of thin air like a ghost.

"Sup, mother f*ckers. It's ya boi, Leon, here to crash the party," Leon greeted the angry Greater Demons.

In the next moment, he raised his feet and stomped down hard on the circular-gate Teleportation Array in an attempt to shatter it in one go.

Boom!

A resounding bang shook the entire Teleportation Array, even causing some Greater Demons standing on its platform to lose their balance and fall into the water.

However, Teleportation Array remained perfectly fine while his feet, on the other hand, suffered numbness from his own attack.

"Ahem, this is much sturdier than it looks," Leon coughed.

"Kill this f*cking joker!"
