Chapter 748

Time passed by quietly.

Not long after, dusk fell.

At this time, Shien had not returned to Sovereign Castle.

He knew that Grati and Bushty were there and had their eyes on him.

Therefore, Sean had no choice but to wander outside and wander around Central City again and again.

On the other hand, Grati and Bushty had been waiting for Shien in Sovereign Castle for a long time. Seeing that he had not returned after so long, they could only return reluctantly.

Under such circumstances, the demon dwellers' meeting did not end even after a long time. Even Hertyadai, who was waiting outside, was a little surprised.

"They actually talked for so long?"

In Hertyadai's memory, this was the second time that the demon dwellers had gathered and talked for such a long time.

The first time was a thousand years ago.

Yes, it was when the Demon King was subjugated and the Demons were defeated.

At that time, the demon dwellers also talked from morning to night like this. Finally, they decided to surrender to the Gods and Humans, establish peace, and move the Demons into the newly born Demon Realm.

"Could it be that the matter that the Highnesses are discussing this time is even more important than that time?"

Hertyadai's heart was filled with doubts and surprise.

Of course, Hertyadai was not the only one who was surprised. The rest of the demon dwellers' cadres were also surprised.

Perhaps because they had waited for too long, the group of demon dwellers' cadres came together.

This included Grati and Bushty, who could not find Shien.

Of course, Liel, Hart, and Gray were here as well.

"Are the Highnesses not out yet? Hertyadai? "

Liel was the first to question Hertyadai.

Looking at her unkind words and actions, those who did not know better would think that she had some deep hatred for Hertyadai.

Ever since they arrived at Central City and met Hertyadai, this stone woman had been behaving like this, as if she did not like Hertyadai at all.

(She's still the same as before.)

Hertyadai naturally knew why. Such thoughts flashed through her mind, but her expression did not change.

"The Highnesses are not done talking," Hertyadai said coldly. "You can wait here, but you are not allowed to enter."

Her cold words made many people's hearts skip a beat.

Especially Gray, who only got to know Hertyadai today. He felt an inexplicable chill in his heart when he heard Hertyadai's cold words.

(As expected of one of the three Ultimate Demons among the Demons. Her aura alone gives me a sense of danger. If I were to fight with her, I wouldn't be able to defeat her, right?)

Gray was solemn and his heart was palpitating.

This was the first time Gray had experienced such a feeling of invincibility.

Although it wasn't as if Gray had never seen existences stronger than Hettie Yadai, such as Chafine, the difference between him and Transcendent Level existences, including Chafine, was too great. Gray knew from the start that it was impossible for him to become enemies with them. Thus, compared to palpitations, he felt more respect and admiration.

However, as a member of the Mithra Royal Family who possessed the Hero's bloodline, Gray was a genius who rose to become a legitimate prince despite being a collateral relative. He didn't think that he would lose to anyone other than Transcendent Level existences.

Gray was confident that he wouldn't lose to any Ultimate Demons with his Unique Skill.

Even if he couldn't match up to them in terms of pure strength, with the power of his unique skill, Gray was confident that he wouldn't lose to any ultimate existence.

This was not self-confidence, but the normal state of the world.

Even if they were at a disadvantage in terms of levels and skills, as long as they possessed powerful unique skills, they could challenge those of a higher level.

Otherwise, how could a unique skill be called an ability that transcended the norm?

It was the trump card of a true powerhouse. As long as one was strong enough, one could ignore the difference between levels.

Even Transcendent Level existences might find it unexpectedly troublesome and tricky to deal with when faced with some strange unique skills.

In other words, level and skills were only the foundation of a person's strength. A powerful Unique Skill was the deciding factor of a person's strength.

Why were the Heroes so respected?

It was because they could generally awaken powerful Unique Skills. Moreover, they had their own Sacred Sword that wasn't inferior to the Unique Skill.

With two trump cards in hand, the Heroes naturally had more advantages and were much stronger than the average person.

Gray was only one step away from the Ultimate Demon and had a powerful Unique Skill. It was reasonable for him to think that he wouldn't lose to any opponent below Transcendent Demon.

However, he had forgotten that those who could reach the limit of life were all existences with the greatest potential and talent in the world. Otherwise, they would have already dug out all of their potential before reaching the limit of life, reaching the limit and unable to go any further.

For example, Grati and Britti. They were already level 99 Legendary Demons thousands of years ago. However, they still couldn't take that final step after thousands of years. It was because their potential had been exhausted.

It was the same for all living beings in the world. Although they could increase their strength and level through battles and training, they would stop growing once their potential was unearthed. They would no longer be able to advance even a level.

As for those who had the potential to reach the Ultimate Demon, how could they not awaken powerful Unique Skills?

Gray wasn't the only one who had powerful Unique Skills.

As a Demon who was famous for her strength, and a Demon who could reach the Ultimate Demon, Hertadai's Unique Skills wouldn't be inferior to Gray's. They might even be stronger.

As such, Gray only realized at this moment that he was looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.

Meanwhile, Liel, who was at the same level as Gray, ignored the palpitations that Hertadai brought to her. She glared at her as if she wanted to start a fight.

Hertadai ignored Liel and just stood there quietly, blocking the way to the conference room. The group of cadres looked at each other and didn't dare to act rashly.

In front of Shien, Hertadai was polite and courteous. However, he didn't know how terrifying Hertadai was in the eyes of the Demons.

At the very least, apart from Gray and Liel, everyone else more or less looked at Hettie Yadai with fearful gazes.

Their behavior was exactly the same as when the cadres had seen Herteyadai outside the Imperial Capital.

Fortunately, this depressing scene was soon broken.

Hum!

With a fluctuation of the atmosphere, the barrier that shrouded the conference room was unlocked.

The door of the conference room opened quietly, allowing demons to walk out one after another.

In an instant, the terrifying aura that belonged to the demons filled the room.

With Sylar in the lead, the group of demons appeared together.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

Hertadai immediately turned around and bowed.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

The others also reacted. One by one, they knelt down on one knee and bowed respectfully to the group of demons.

They looked at the demons that appeared together and couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, although the conference was a little long, at least the Highness didn't seem to have any problems.

However …

"Your Highness?"

Hertadai called out to the group of demons on behalf of the cadres hesitantly.

It couldn't be helped.

At this moment, the expressions of the group of demons were inexplicably heavy and extremely complicated.

Especially Ai Yi. No one knew what she was thinking. One moment, she was worried, and the next moment, she was sighing.

Without a doubt, this kind of behavior didn't seem like the style of the World Seeker, who usually did things their own way.

"Could it be that something happened?"

The same thought flashed across everyone's mind.

Unfortunately, the demons didn't care.

"Are you all here?"

Sylar looked at the group of cadres and nodded slightly.

Ai Yi turned to look at Hert Yadai and asked.

"Where's Shien?"

The moment the Dragon Highness came out, the first person she was concerned about was the Hero.

However, the one who answered this question was not Hertadai, but Grati and Bruti.

"Master, the Hero ran away."

"That's right, he's not in the Supreme Castle anymore."

Grati and Bruti spoke one after another, their tone faintly carrying a hint of grievance.

This was all an act.

The two Dragon Ladies planned to complain to Ai Yi and let Ai Yi know the cause and effect, then settle the score with Shien. At the same time, they would capture the Hero and bring him back to the Dragon Demon Territory.

Both of them felt that as long as their master knew about the Hero's ability, she would definitely squeeze the Hero dry for the Dragon Clan.

Just thinking about that scene made the two Dragon Ladies feel a little excited …?

However, after hearing Grati and Bruti's words, an unexpected reaction appeared on the group of demons.

"You're saying that guy left the Supreme Castle?"

Unexpectedly, Chafine stood up and asked anxiously.

Looking at Chafine like this, not to mention Grati and Bruti, even Liel, Hart, and Gray were taken aback.

Although Chafine had behaved intimately with Shien before, she didn't show such urgent concern.

Now, seeing the urgency on Chafine's beautiful face, Hart felt a pang in his heart. Gray's brows were tightly furrowed, and intense emotions seemed to be surging in his eyes.

The rest of the cadres were also shocked.

This was because the rest of the demons' reactions could not be said to be small.

"Why did he leave so suddenly?"

Liel's tone was also somewhat worried.

"Shien! Shien! "

Mi Lu was so anxious that she was running around in circles. She even wanted to rush out.

What was even more surprising was Kamina's reaction.

"What are you all doing? How could you allow such an important person to leave so casually? "

Kamina, who had not been on good terms with Shien not long ago, was now brimming with murderous intent because of Shien's departure.

The extreme reactions of the few Devil Dwellers caused the group of cadres to feel at a loss as to what to do.

On the other hand, Sala and Ai Yi were both calm from beginning to end.

"Don't be so agitated, you're scaring the subordinates." Sala sighed and scolded, "He just left, nothing happened to him. You're too worried."

"Sisters, calm down first," Ai Yi said faintly. Ai Yi said faintly, "I know that what we just discussed had a huge impact on everyone, but please calm down first."

Sala and Ai Yi's words caused the demons' morale to stagnate. In the end, they all became somewhat dispirited.

"We're indeed too agitated."

Chafine rubbed her forehead.

"There's nothing we can do. If the things that Big Sister found out are all true, then that hero's importance is self-evident."

Reid smiled bitterly.

"No matter what, let's get him back first. If something happens to that guy, I'm afraid the entire Omnippertansen will change."

Kamina demanded very strongly. Compared to her previous aggressive attitude towards Shien, it was simply two extremes.

"Get him back!"

Mi Lu nodded frantically. If it wasn't for Reid controlling her, she would have already rushed out.

Sala thought for a while and finally nodded.

"You're right. No matter what the final truth is, Shien's existence is very important. There's no doubt about that." Sala glanced at all the sisters present and said, "Just like what we just discussed, from today onwards, no matter what the situation is, one of us must accompany him and be responsible for guarding him."

"Also, arrange for him to enter the 'Demon King Hall' as soon as possible. That way, not only will his strength increase, but it might also be able to verify some of the truth."

Sala's words were exchanged with the nodding of the demons.

Ai Yi even spoke up.

"I'll go look for him later."

Ai Yi then casually told everyone that the person who was responsible for guarding Shien was her.

The demons naturally had no objections.

Whether it was the amount of time they spent together with Shien or the quality of their relationship, among the six demon sisters, Ai Yi was without a doubt the first.

It was reasonable for her to be by Shien's side, for both public and private reasons.

Even Chafnir wouldn't say anything about it.

After all, her relationship with Shien was not so much good as it was complicated.

Based on the current situation, she wouldn't compete with Ai Yi for the position by Shien's side.

Therefore, Chafnir's expression was indifferent.

She had already ignored this group of demons. There were still many Demon cadres here.

As they listened to the conversation of the six demon sisters, a storm was set off in their hearts.

"Their Highnesses actually value that Hero so much?"

"They still plan to be that Hero's guard?"

"They … They actually plan to let a human Hero enter the Demon King Hall?"

"Are their Highnesses crazy?"

The shock in the hearts of the cadres was so intense that it could no longer be described with words.

Even Gray's heart was in turmoil, and his eyes were filled with shock as he looked at the group of demons.

No one knew what had happened.

No one was able to guess what had happened in there.

They only knew that from this day onwards, Hero Shien had become the most important existence in the hearts of the demons.

The confirmation of Ai Yi and Shien's engagement also began to spread and was known to the world.

At the same time …

"I have to find a chance to go to the God Realm and confirm my guess."

Among the six demon sisters, Sala turned her head and looked in a certain direction.

In the direction he was looking at, a goddess shrouded in colorful light was flying aimlessly.

"Where is this place?" "…"

The goddess's sobbing voice was so clear.
