Bang! The news was indeed a bolt out of the blue for the Four Basilisks! So, it’s sure as hell that Northern Demon has reappeared! Needless to doubt again, as it’s the official news from the Dragonites. He’s still alive, and he’s even in Oakland City at the moment!
To make matters worse, he was provoking to annihilate Erudia by setting Oakland City as his first target!
“Are you sure the man is Northern Demon, not his henchman?” the Five Dragons of Erudia asked doubtfully.
“The Dragonites have confirmed that it’s the Northern Demon!” Everyone turned to look at the Four Basilisks in bewilderment. The Five Dragons of Erudia fixed their gazes on them as well.
Another wave of utter insecurity swept over the Four Basilisks. Western Monk, who kept his head lowered all the time, was even shuddering.
The four of them felt a prickle of anxiety as it never occurred to them that Northern Demon would still be alive! It’s impossible! We saw with our own eyes that he perished together with the mysterious fighter! How can he be still alive?
“What’s the matter? Tell us honestly. Why is Northern Demon still alive? Have you been lying to us all this while?” the Dragonites glared at the Four Basilisks suspiciously.
“If there’s any hidden truth, don’t keep mum from us!” Eastern Hellhound and the other three started to sense something awry.
“Northern Demon was dead! We saw it with our own eyes. Even so, we couldn’t do anything as his body sank into quicksand. It is unbelievable that he’s still alive!” Heracles and Eastern Beast explained anxiously.
“We can’t blame them. Northern Demon has started his unusually malicious way of cultivation since young. Thus, it’s actually not a surprise that if he can stay alive. Anyway, there’s nothing to worry about. Since our disciples had defeated him once, they can surely finish him off this round. Let’s see if he can stay alive again after his body is completely ruined!” Eastern Hellhound said confidently.
Southern Emperor, Western Spirit and Central Army were buoyed up with confidence as well. “Yeah, since our disciples were able to defeat him earlier, I’m sure they can defeat him another time!”
“The four of you, just be prepared to finish him off here in Oakland City. Let us witness the fall of the demon as well!” A hint of confidence was written across the Dragonites’ faces. By then, their anxiety moments ago was totally gone.
“We…” The Four Basilisks stiffened and were rendered speechless. Are we assigned the mission to kill Northern Demon again? What a joke!
The four of them were the so-called cowardly deserters who were aghast at Northern Demon.
They did not even dare to look at him.
How are we going to kill him?
They knew that they could never get the mission accomplished as they were not the ones who defeated Northern Demon previously.
Their Fusion Attack was incomparable to his power.
If not because they set the Suicide Squad members up, they would surely be wiped off by Northern Demon as well.
“What’s wrong with all of you? You look so pale!” Someone spotted something amiss about them.
“Nothing actually. We are just feeling a bit frustrated that Northern Demon is still alive!” Wiping off the cold sweat from his forehead, Eastern Hellhound replied impatiently.
“Have no fear. We have all the mighty experts backing you up in Oakland City this round, it’s a sure bet that Northern Demon will be slain!”
“Yeah, we will be watching over you ourselves in the battle this round. Don’t drag it anymore. If not, Oakland City will be devastated by Northern Demon at any moment!”
With that, the Four Basilisks were pushed to the front in the mission of slaying Northern Demon. They were reluctant, yet they could not reject unless they admitted that they were being deceitful all this while.
“Northern Demon, why are you still alive?” Eastern Beast and the others were on the brink of tears.
So close yet so far, we are supposed to be coronated as Crown King at any time, yet there’s this unexpected twist! Oh no! We are not going to make it!
Other than the council members of the Dragonites, the remaining four members of the Five Dragons of Erudia were also watching over them. The Dragonites even released the news that the Four Basilisks would slay Northern Demon once again.
In an instant, the whole of Oakland City and Erudia were in an uproar. Everyone had their eyes on the Four Basilisks. Contrary to the previous battle at the Ether training base, everyone was exhilarated as they would be able to witness the slaying of the Northern Demon this round!
