"This is……"

Chapter 363 The Legendary Person

At the center of a battle site left three thousand years ago, 10,000 meters underwater, an old man with silver hair was unearthed. And then the old man suddenly came back to life. How terrifying would that be?

Even Roger almost drew his sword and slashed at that moment, instead jumping back slightly.

Rayleigh and the others were also alarmed, staring at the old man who had seemingly come back to life. After the old man opened his eyes, several bubbles gurgled from his mouth and nose, and his gaze shifted to Roger and the others.

Their eyes met, and Roger slowly gave the old man a kind smile: "Senior, you are..."

The next instant, his expression suddenly hardened. He saw the old man straighten up and teleport into their bubble protective membrane at an extremely fast speed.

A strong person! At least physically strong!

"What time is it now?" the old man asked in a hoarse voice, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

"time……"

"Has the demon race been destroyed? Has Lucifer been reborn? How many years have passed since the 13 kings sealed Lucifer away?" the old man asked.

The group exchanged glances. There was no need to hide such an easy question to be answered. But had this old man really been sleeping at the bottom of the sea for many years?

What kind of ability is this?

The idea of ​​them coming back to life is something they might dismiss at first glance, but once they calm down, they realize it's not true.

Roger said, "It has been ten thousand years. Lucifer, the Demon King, is about to be resurrected. The demon race has not yet been wiped out, but a war that will destroy the demon race has only just begun."

"Is that so..."

"Senior, may I ask who you are?" Roger asked again.

“This is not what we agreed on.” The old man did not answer, his gaze deep.

Roger sensed a hidden malice and placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. Suddenly, his mind network sensed something.

The merman who had met them once before swam swiftly from the waters above, his face grim. He searched around and found the silver-haired old man in tattered clothes, his expression turning even uglier.

"My lord! Kill them quickly!"

"Oh, no wonder. Is the mermaid's target your senior? It seems we've stumbled upon some incredible secret," Roger said.

Rayleigh and the others were all on high alert. Encountering something like this underwater, they didn't know whether to call it bad luck or good luck.

The silver-haired old man looked at them, then at the merman, and said, "You made a mistake, broke your promise, and now you dare to order me around? How rude of you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a vast sword intent rose from his body, and the bubble membrane that isolated the seawater burst open instantly. With a wave of his arm, a crescent-shaped sword aura broke through the seawater, enveloping Roger and his group, as well as the merfolk!

The merman was shocked and furious. He swung his arms to strike the ocean current and block it, but in an instant, he was defeated by the sword energy and vomited blood as he sank to the bottom of the sea!

On the other side, Roger drew his sword and slashed, unleashing a burst of crimson lightning that firmly blocked the sword energy.

The sea parted to both sides with the impact, and the old man and Roger's fishing lantern group saw the blue sky and air.

Sword energy exploded, the booming sound echoing. Roger took half a step back, a smirk playing on his lips, and laughed loudly, "So it's the senior who lit the five lamps? Rayleigh, Jabba, protect the brothers and get some distance away!"

After giving the order, he held the knife in both hands, stomped the ground fiercely, and rushed to the old man's side, his surging domineering aura connecting heaven and earth!

A surge of overwhelming power also appeared on the old man's body. He swung his fist to collide with Roger's, and purple and red intertwined, crackling as they shot into the sky.

The old man looked slightly surprised: "A domineering aura approaching level five of the Light Realm? In this era, are there already many people at level five of the Light Realm?"

The other two were not weak either. He exchanged more than a dozen blows with the fiercely competitive Roger, and Rayleigh and Jabba also closed in. Although he was still able to handle them with ease, he was unable to kill the three of them for the time being.

The fighting grew louder and louder. The old man forced the three men back, then gently touched his stomach, indicating that he was considering retreating.

He turned to the merman he had taught a lesson to, who was now lying in the sea in the distance, and swept over to grab its tail: "Let's go!"

"Senior, at least leave your name!" Roger chased after him, slashing as he rode the waves, but the old man only parried and followed the mermaid, offering no further response.

A moment later, Roger and the others packed up and returned to the ship. They felt completely innocent about what had just happened.

"He's a very strong guy, not weak even among the Five Kings. If he hadn't been sleeping at the bottom of the sea for so long and hadn't eaten anything since his recent awakening, and if he hadn't been without his sword, we wouldn't be his match."

Rayleigh said, "Judging from his tone, he has probably been asleep for more than just a few decades or even a few hundred years; it's been at least a thousand years."

"Who could it be?" Roger laughed heartily. "This time we've truly unearthed some ruins. Such a powerful figure couldn't possibly be unknown. Timmy, do you have any guesses?"

Timmy, the archaeologist who boarded the ship, shook his head upon hearing this: "I can't think of anything. I need to check some materials."

"He doesn't seem like a good person."

Jabba then asked, "And what's the deal with that mermaid? Didn't Grandpa Figo go to the Mermaid Kingdom not long ago? What kind of conspiracy could the Mermaid Kingdom possibly have that could be kept from him?"

"Who knows?"

Insufficient information makes it impossible to make a judgment.

Roger said, "Perfect timing, we should also go and pay our respects to Mr. Figo."

"Shall we challenge him, Captain?"

"Hahahahahaha..."

……

the other side.

An old man, dug out from the seabed, walks on the surface of the water and is asking questions of the mermaid beside him.

"Which Demon General are you? What is your name?"

After being slashed by him, the mermaid's expression became restrained and respectful: "I am ranked 69th, and my name is Dankalabi, sir."

"Where is Gerald? Why didn't he wake me up himself as agreed? And this is several years earlier than agreed, isn't it?"

Dankabi said in a low voice, "Lord Grat is dead. He died half a month ago at the hands of the Star King Gaston Figo."

"Hmm? The King of the Stars?"

"The strongest being in the starry sky, who shattered the Heavenly Dragon Star, and was also the strongest being on the Lamp Star, who lit six lamps, fought two against one, defeated the two pillars of the Demon Clan, killed one of them, and heralded the start of the war... By the way, he came from the Land of Hope," Dankalabi replied.

"The strongest of this era," the old man said. "You've dismantled Tianlong Star? It seems many of your plans have failed."

"He is too strong, so strong that we can only wait for the king to recover, and there is nothing we can do about him."

Dankabi said, "Lord Grat knew he was going to die, so he asked me to pass on a message to you in advance—the King of the Stars is not someone you can fight. He will try his best to keep the news of your survival a secret. He hopes that after you recover, you will act cautiously."

"Is it impossible to defeat them by force?"

The old man sighed with emotion: "A new generation replaces the old. In this era, is there anyone who no longer knows my name?"

Single Karabi bowed slightly: "How could that be? Lord Rillen Torvor!"

Chapter 364 The Mission of the Holy Demon King

While Roger's Lantern Fishing Crew was heading to the border between the two races to find Figo, Figo had already left the border and arrived at the Holy Demon King's City.

Although this city, established by the Holy Demon King after the demon race split, is not called a country, it is no smaller than Capri and Scots, because almost all the demons who followed the Holy Demon King lived here, with very few on the outer islands.

This largest city on Mars is divided into five parts: four cities within cities in the east, west, south, and north, and the Holy Demon King's Palace at the very center.

According to the information revealed to the outside world, all four city lords are five-lamp kings, and the Holy Demon King also has a five-lamp king serving as a palace guard. These are the five people, plus the Holy Demon King, whose strength is basically no less than that of the demon race of Scots.

If the two demon races were to merge and Figo's existence were ignored, the combined strength of the humans, merfolk, and half-demons would be at a disadvantage!

Otherwise, why would the Half-Demon King have been planning a marriage alliance with the Holy Demon King a hundred years ago?

Of course, because of Figo's existence, the Holy Demon King and his 'Holy Demon Clan' have not shown any willingness to participate in the war so far.

This enormous city, also known as the 'City of Bliss' or the 'City of Pleasure,' remains as bustling and prosperous as if it were isolated from the world.

However, some dissenting voices and discordant scenes have also emerged internally.

"Let me go!" A slender demon with narrow cheekbones struggled against his chains, roaring angrily.

"Damn traitors! You who betrayed the King will not have a good end! Do you really think that if you don't participate in the war, the human race and the King of the Stars will let you go?!"

"Shut up," said the demon man controlling the chains. "I don't care about those things. I do whatever the Holy Demon King tells me to do. All I know is that we kindly took you in, this guy who escaped from Scordas and joined us, and now you're inciting civilians within my jurisdiction to desert the Holy Demon Clan and go to the battlefield."

"Hmph, how many times have you incited your fellow clansmen to come to the Holy Demon King City in this way?!"

“That’s different. We did it for their own good, while you did it because you were afraid of fighting and fled to the Holy Demon King’s City. You felt guilty and that’s why you incited some civilians to die in order to make up for your guilt.”

"I……!"

"Stop arguing." The demon who was arresting him yawned and said, "I've got you here, so whatever I say goes. I'll get you to jail quickly so I can go back and catch up on my afternoon nap. I have some friends I've arranged to play cards with this afternoon."

"You xxxxx"

A string of unspoken words burst from the captured demon man's mouth, only to be met with a yawn in response.

As he was being dragged along, some residents of the Holy Demon King City who happened to be passing by saw what was happening. After listening to the whole story with gossipy expressions, they all shook their heads and left with little interest. A few of them spat at the person who had been captured, and then went off chatting and laughing with their friends.

They talked about where to eat and where to have fun, with a few expressing concern about their wallets and children, but no one mentioned the war.

Figo stood silently in the shadows around a corner, watching the whole thing unfold, somewhat surprised.

This kind of relaxation can't be faked.

Is it really a paradise on earth?

……

Meanwhile, in the Holy Demon King's Palace, the Holy Demon King's mood was not as good as that of his subjects.

Since the war between the two tribes began, his wives from each tribe have been in an uproar, and his children are also in a state of chaos, each with their own demands.

It's one thing if people whisper in his ear every few days, but it's quite another when a few powerful individuals actually want to return to the human race to help—that's just outrageous.

If he had known this kind of conflict would arise, he wouldn't have... but he still had to get married.

"Ugh--"

He let out a long sigh while lying in the chair, picked his nose with his little finger, and then felt the captain of the guard appear beside him. He hummed softly, turned his head to look, and saw the guard staring solemnly at the palace gate. He also activated his mind network, sniffed listlessly, and waved his hand.

"Don't let anyone else come over."

"Yes, Lord Holy Demon King."

After dismissing his guards, the Holy Demon King sat up straight and looked at Figo, who walked in from outside the door, and said, "You really reached some kind of agreement with those guys to temporarily refrain from taking action? You even have time to come here to see me."

Figo said, "They didn't give me a straight answer, it was just a verbal agreement, which could be torn up by them or by me at any time. But before that, I can always find some time to wander around. What, you don't seem to welcome me?"

Having abducted Yana, it's impossible for me to marry Asmodeus anymore. And coming to me will only bring trouble. Welcome, my foot! The Holy Demon King flicked a booger to the side with his little finger.

"You saw that thing?" he asked.
