They couldn’t believe what they were hearing, and they shivered in fear. “That’s the boss’ last-ditch plan? To bust that demon out?” They gasped.
“What the heck? That monster’s the most terrifying killing machine known to man! If we bust him out, he’s gonna go on a rampage! Nobody can stop him!”
“Yeah, the other dragons lost their powers, so there’s no one else who can fight him. He’s undefeatable!”
“Hahaha! I can imagine Erudia shaking in terror. Rejuvenating. I bet none of you could see this coming, Dragonites.”
The Avengers were whipped up into a frenzy, for that plan was exactly what they wanted. Unleashing a walking disaster on the nation was the best thing they could come up with. Even I shudder in fear just thinking about that demon’s fury.
Black Phoenix grinned. “Crown King could have stopped him, but alas…”
The lackeys looked somber when Crown King was brought up. That man was in a league of his own, befitting of the king’s throne. He managed to defeat a slew of powerful fighters on Mount Drago all by himself, so he probably could stop the demon if he was still alive.
Alas, he had since passed away.
“Wait, the boss predicted all of this?” Everyone gasped.
“Yes! That’s exactly right!” Black Phoenix laughed. “This is the boss’ plan all along. First, he got rid of Crown King and weakened the nation. Then he’ll unleash the demon on them, but now nobody can stop the rampage. Erudia will be helpless against this disaster.”
“But deputy, Northern Demon is already imprisoned, and I don’t think Erudian leaders are gonna let him out anytime soon.”
Everyone had the same question. The nation exhausted its resources to capture him, so there’s no way they’re letting him out that easily.
“Ah, I see. I suppose I should tell you that Northern Demon is not locked up in any Erudian prison.”
“Huh?” The lackeys were confused.
Black Phoenix explained, “First, it’s nigh impossible to kill him, given his strength. And second, he might break out of prison if the leaders kept him here. Everyone was worried about that, so the demon is now locked up in the most fearsome prison in Bayview—the Demon’s Dungeon.”
“The one that charted zero breakouts?” Black Tiger was shocked.
“Yes. Demon’s Dungeon is an enigma. It houses the most violent and evil criminals of Bayview and the world. Once a criminal is locked up in there, they’ll be spending the rest of their life in the dungeon.
“It’s a maximum-security prison, and it has charted zero breakouts over the last three hundred years.”
“So in other words, that’s Erudian leaders’ best bet. Once the demon’s locked up, he’s never coming out, isn’t he?”
Black Phoenix nodded. “But now the boss has reached an agreement with the prison management, so they’re letting the demon out now. For a hefty price, of course.”
Everyone was incredulous. “But there have been no breakouts ever since its inception. What did Boss do to make them agree to this?”
Black Phoenix grinned. “That’s just how the boss works. He can do the impossible. The boss is picking up the demon as we speak, so all we have to do is wait. Erudia is going to tremble in fear soon.”
The Avengers couldn’t wait to see that happen. Soon, the Northern Demon would go on a rampage, bringing death and destruction everywhere he went.
