Chapter 1098: Rhode’s Request

“This is...”

Red Shroud jumped to her feet. She lifted her head in astonishment and gazed at the gigantic, expanded wings that enfolded almost half the sky. The powerful, omnipresent dragon’s prestige was so powerful that even she couldn’t help but shiver. That was unlike the aura from demons that were ‘oppressed by social class’. Instead, it was more like a pure, massive strength as though tiny humans standing by the shore and witnessing a tsunami crashing toward them. Other than lamenting the majestic power of nature, they couldn’t even escape. Their strength and presence were so strong that not even the devils were brave enough to step forward rashly. Perhaps they snorted disdainfully at ‘social class’, but they knew clearly that they should avoid the blazing sun as much as possible to avoid being burnt to a crisp. After all, devils weren’t fools.

As the owner of Desolate Town, Red Shroud knew how massive the aura was. It could also be said that perhaps even the aged creatures in the abyss didn’t possess such formidable strength. But now, this powerful being had arrived and came knocking on her door. This left her extremely terrified. She didn’t know when she had offended such a formidable being. Could it be that one of the lords in Bottomless Abyss decided to head up to catch a breath? But this didn’t make sense. Bottomless Abyss wasn’t a tall building with elevators. In fact, the journey through the plane of existences was usually completed by powerful beings because it would expend a huge amount of their power. When one was as powerful as them, it wasn’t surprising to have mortal enemies eyeing covetously, ready to kill them from the back. It was the same for Grazite. He was the mastermind behind the scenes and didn’t expect to be dragged to the main plane by Rhode through the summoning ritual and eventually be killed. It was truly an unexpected disaster for him.

As of now, the entire Bottomless Abyss was debating as to how Grazite was murdered. It was apparent that he wasn’t killed by other abyssal lords because the murderers would be acting all high and mighty by now. On the other hand, Grazite was cunning by nature and shouldn’t face such an issue at all. From the start, many abyssal lords believed that this was a trap set by Grazite. But in the end, they discovered his death and began to worry about any mishaps in the situation. One had to admit that they were living a rather tiring life...

“Oh-no-no, I didn’t expect the renowned Your Highness Red Shroud to show such an expression.”

At this moment, a voice sounded all of a sudden and startled Red Shroud. She raised the staff quickly and pointed it toward the direction of the voice. Then, she witnessed a young lady clad in a black coat and long, triangular hat standing by the corner of the walls and gazing at her. How did she enter? This place is protected by my defensive enchanted field!

“Who are you?”

“Greetings, respectful Highness Red Shroud.” Facing Red Shroud’s unkind query, the young lady seemed extremely calm. She bowed casually and said, “I’m Stefania, a plane merchant. Yes... this time I’m here to represent my client to... communicate with you.”

“Communicate?”

Upon hearing this untimely term, Red Shroud knitted her brows. Of course, she was aware of the existence of plane merchants. In fact, the development of Desolate Town also relied a lot upon the plane merchants. If not, she wouldn’t be able to purchase sufficient food and water. Growing food in the abyss was truly a technical work.

But at this moment, the plane merchant’s intention left Red Shroud on the alert. No matter what, her Desolate Town was under the control of a massive aura and pressure that even she felt as though a huge boulder were crushing on her, leaving her breathless. Gazing out the window, the situation was even more startling. The devils were either half-knelt on the ground or not moving like sculptures. On the other hand, the mercenaries who she spent money grooming didn’t stand a chance at all. Judging from their reactions, they seemed like white little rabbits hugging heads in the face of big, bad wolves, waiting for death to fall upon them!

Of course, Red Shroud didn’t know that if Rhode alone or any other Creator Dragons were to exude their dragon’s prestige, they could restrain the devils to a certain degree but never to this extent. But the problem was that Rhode wasn’t alone now. His younger sister was around to assist him despite not having a physical body. Even though she was only a soul fragment that wasn’t too useful in actual battles, no one had more authority than her in terms of releasing the dragon’s prestige as a Creator Dragon. At this moment, the terrifying aura that Red Shroud felt was from both Rhode and his younger sister. It seemed like his younger sister’s skill in ‘bluffing’ was at the maximum, at the very least.

“Yes, I’m sure you’ve experienced my client’s strength.”

Upon hearing Stefania’s comment, Red Shroud puckered her brows. She gazed at Stefania vigilantly, but didn’t say a word. It seemed to her that this plane merchant was sent by that powerful being outside. But even though the situation was critical to Red Shroud, she wasn’t feeling that tense. The reason was simple. One with that much strength could rely on one’s strength to make her give in. But now, apart from symbolically destroying her forces and displaying his prestige, there weren’t other indications from him. Not only that, but he had also sent in a representative plane merchant to communicate on his behalf and didn’t show up himself... Red Shroud wasn’t a fool. She understood that he definitely had other intentions by doing so!

“May I know who exactly is your client? I’ve never seen anyone so powerful in the abyss.”

“Ah, that’s no secret.”

Stefania seemed to have no intention of keeping the identity of her employer a secret. After hearing Red Shroud’s response, she spoke immediately.

“My client is the ruler of the Dragon Soul Continent, the Void Dragon, His Majesty Rhode... I suppose you’re not unfamiliar with this name, Your Highness Red Shroud?”

“Void Dragon?”

Red Shroud was taken aback. But the first thought that came up in her mind was: What is he doing here?

As everyone knew, there was no favorable relationship between the main plane and Bottomless Abyss. But Red Shroud wasn’t concerned about the matters going on in the main plane as running Desolate Town and facing the bloodbaths was enough trouble for her. As for crucial issues of the relationship between the main plane and abyss, as well as the war between Order and Chaos, Red Shroud felt like it was better off leaving it to the abyssal lords to worry about them. She felt accomplished if she could manage her own turf well. So now, upon hearing that the Void Dragon was here, she felt that it was ridiculous. After all, she didn’t have anything much to do with the main plane, so what was worthy of the Void Dragon coming down personally? Could it be that her subordinates accidentally captured his men? But that wouldn’t require the Void Dragon to take matters into his own hands, would it? At this thought, Red Shroud was increasingly puzzled. After all, it was worlds apart between the main plane and Desolate Town. There might be several inhabitants from the main plane living in Desolate Town, but they... shouldn’t have anything to do with someone like the Void Dragon, right?

But Red Shroud didn’t say much. She knew that since the Void Dragon was here personally, he must have something important to discuss with her. Besides, he had also appointed a neutral party in the form of the reputable and trustworthy plane merchant for communications. This proved the intentions of the Void Dragon. Could it be that he decided to get the main plane involved in the bloodbath and resist the abyss? Red Shroud felt like the possibilities weren’t high because it was dangerous and risky to head to the main plane from the abyss. Besides, several ‘main routes’ had to go through hell. In fact, with hell taking the blow for the main plane, the choices that devils could make were extremely limited. And as the absolute dominator of the main plane, it was only normal to sit this one out and reap the spoils later. Why must the Void Dragon get involved in the dirty work himself? Was there something wrong with his head?

“This was what happened, Your Highness Red Shroud. I will get straight to the point. There is only one reason for His Majesty Rhode to be here.”

Strolling toward the window, Stefania smiled and gazed at the city of steel.

“Desolate Town.”

“...”

Red Shroud was in shock. She knew that there was definitely no good news for the ruler of the main plane to be here. If not, would he even need to show up personally? But now... could it be that he needed her to give away Desolate Town?

“His Majesty Rhode only has one simple request and it is something that you can definitely achieve, Your Highness Red Shroud. It requires only a slight effort from your part.”

Stefania spoke, revealing the merchant smile that appeared when selling goods, like she was introducing the value of her goods. But for some unknown reason, Red Shroud had a bad feeling deep in her heart. At the next moment, the bad feeling was confirmed.

“His Majesty Rhode hopes for all devils to disappear from Desolate Town.”

Gazing at Red Shroud’s expression, Stefania said with a grin.
