The force behind the punch was so massive that it caused the ground beneath their feet to crack and split. Krax fist connected directly with the Demons face and sent him flying backwards. The moment his fist connected the lighting surging around Krax moved towards the demon.
As the demon attempted recover the lightning began to send paralyzing shocks that hindered this. Seeing this happened Krax wasted not a single breath before casting a skill.
|Law of Extinction Lightning - Fall of Extinction|
RUMBLE!!!!
CRACKLE!!!!
BOOOOOOM!!!!
A huge red lightning bolt fell from the skies and landed directly on the Demon. The bolt of lightning changed the whole field the two were fighting in. Above the spot where the Demon was paralyzed a huge crater was formed.
And in the crater was nothing!
The bolt of lightning completely obliterated the Demon!
Krax stood upright and cracked his neck. He then looked at the elder Demons and said with a grin.
"Send the rest all at once!"
"!!"
These words caused not just the Elder Demons, but even the other 4 to widen their eyes in shock. Not because of what he said, but it was the tone he said it in. A tone all too familiar to these demons.
His tone was dripping with pride!
But this was the exact reason they were shocked. For beings who basically feed off of pride they should be getting stronger from the aura emanating from Krax. But they weren't at all!
Well, this was because Krax wasn't being prideful at all. He was just absurdly confident in his ability. He had no need to feel superior to people he knew were beneath him. So, the pride he was showing was in fact just an immense amount of confidence.
Shaking away their shock the Demons looked at the 4 rebirth cultivators and nodded.
"Go"
At those words the two men and two women immediately engaged with Krax.
[Since this is still a flash back scene, I will not include this fight. Krax and the others will all have their proper shine in the coming chapters.]
After about 20 minutes of fighting Krax stood in the field that no longer resembled the beauty from before. Now, the filled was cracked and filled with tons of massive craters. The grass was burned and in its place was only blacked dirt.
As for the other four demons they laid battered and broken. He decided to spare them since he would be needing this entire force for himself. He walked up to the mythical ranked Demons and spoke.
"Care to talk now?" His face was relaxed as he dusted off his robes.
"Speak. What exactly do you want?" The male demon from before said.
"Heh, well I offer help and in return I will need yours. I can guarantee you all won't survive the next major battle with the Humans with the help of those people. However, I can guarantee your survival all I want is your absolute loyalty to me.
I'm not asking you to be slaves or anything, but you will follow me. Now, before you get worked up, I offer benefits. You will progress further in cultivation rather than being stuck as you are. That's the biggest benefit and you will see more as we get to know each other better."
Hearing this the Demons frowned. How could they, The Demons of Pride, follow anyone? Even though they thought this, seeing the way he dealt with those of his same rank indeed worried them. If he was this strong, then how strong was the Mythical cultivator with them?
Or even the two stronger?
So, with this in mind he spoke.
"How can you be so sure of our survival with you though?"
"Heh, don't worry about that for now. First swear on the Rules that you and the rest of Pride Demons will follow me, Krax Alale. After this I will explain all the details." Krax said as he formed a grin.
Swearing on the rules were the highest known form of contract. If a person were to break this contract the backlash of the rules would be something far worse than death.
The Demons frowned even more hearing this. But they nodded and spoke simultaneously.
"In the name of the Rules that govern us, we swear that every Pride Demon of the World of Lex, will wholeheartedly follow the rule of Krax Alale!"
As these words sounded an illusory lock formed in the sky above the Demon Continent. Then strings formed from the hearts and minds of all the Demons and also from Krax. They then shot towards the lock in the sky.
HUMMMMM!
The lock shined brightly for a few moments before it disappeared. Once it disappeared Krax received a system notification.
*Ding!*
[Congratulations Host, you have completed a task.]
[Subjugate the Demon Continent | Reward - Divine Grade Shuttle, Dao fragment of Strength]
Seeing this Krax now had a solution to the issue at hand, and he also noticed something new. But he would focus on it later. He then spoke to the Demons and spoke.
"Well, I will take you three and some of the most important demons of this continent away from this world."
Hearing this the demons' eyes widen again and exclaimed
"WHAT?!"
"Relax, don't worry everything will be fine. We will only send some weaker demons into the battle and a few Rebirth cultivators. The rest will stay behind and board my artifact. This will allow you to survive will minimizing the loss."
The Demons frowned hearing this. They understood the odds were heavily against them, but fleeing without even fighting?!
That was against their very make up. But it was that or extinction, so they put those feelings aside and nodded.
"Fine. We will follow your plan, but you must hold up your end of the deal. I won't make an empty sacrifice no matter how important it may be."
The male demon said, and the others nodded.
"Haha, don't worry everything will be fine! Now, let's go, show me around a bit!" Krax said as he began floating in the air.
