Chapter 1518: Chapter 452: Mutant Arcane Beast {Part 2}_2

This thing, while not as rare as the Malong Crystal, still shouldn’t be so commonplace and popular, right?

I wonder if the Demon Clan has enough Magical Metal. If they do, and can forge portable Teleportation Arrays, then in future invasion wars, the Aegean Continent will undoubtedly face a series of cross-space disruptions from their Frog Jump Tactics!

"Can anyone here tell me, what exactly is the Left Bank Heavenly King?" Lao Liu had already resolved himself—no matter if it was a dragon’s lair or a tiger’s den, he was going to take this trip and figure things out! The adventurers had just mentioned that the Demon Clan currently has five Heavenly Kings, meaning they only have five Fallen Angels. But what exactly is this Left Bank Heavenly King? Could it be that the title of Heavenly King is just handed out carelessly?

"The so-called Left Bank Heavenly King is a special role created by our great Witch Kings—Paul Newman, Clark Gable, and Jia Bao. Since there are only five Six-Winged Heavenly Kings, the three additional slots to make up the Eight Great Heavenly Kings were specially added! All flying units can compete for the position, with the strongest prevailing. The winner becomes next year’s Vanguard Knight and leads the flying forces onto the battlefield for the Holy War!" Soreskia patiently explained the concept of the Left Bank Heavenly King to the recluse expert in the mountains. He rambled on and on, but it could all be summed up in two words: cannon fodder!

Liu Zhenhuan rolled his eyes hard, almost passing out. He thought to himself, Damn you, you early-stage demon lackey! There are actually three Witch Kings!?

Fortunately, the Silver-Eyed Demon Clan only produced five Six-Winged Fallen Angels, not too insanely cursed!

"By the way, Master Karu, how many pairs of wings do you currently have?" Soreskia and his companions were actively discussing Master Karu’s prospects of becoming the Left Bank Heavenly King, growing more optimistic with each exchange. Turning back, he asked Lao Liu.

"None at all," Lao Liu blinked. He found it odd that this idiot with functional eyes would even need to ask. Could it be that the wings of the Winged Knights weren’t naturally grown?

"None? You mean to say you’re just a Nightmare Knight?" A collective gasp of disbelief erupted.

"My god has yet to bestow me a mount. Perhaps my piety and cultivation still fall short," Liu Zhenhuan adopted his usual charlatan demeanor.

"Impossible!" The four adventurers collectively drew a sharp breath.

Throughout the entire history of the Demon World, no Silver-Eyed warrior had ever achieved mental communication without first gaining the power of the Nightmare Mount! For such a formidable master to merely be an ordinary Silver-Eyed warrior without a mount—this was outright bizarre!

"So, it turns out you’re actually a rare Silver-Eyed Arcanist. But the Left Bank Heavenly King must be a flying unit to qualify for the competition. It seems, Master, that you’re out of the running." Soreskia appeared somewhat dejected.

"Not necessarily! Master Karu soars through the skies on two Arcane hover disks. That should qualify him to compete, right? Didn’t the competition rules say that as long as it’s a flying unit, they can participate? A rare Arcanist—why would you automatically assume they’d lose to a Knight?" Soreskia’s sister, Soso Ming, challenged his statement. "Granted, the competition accepts death and injury based on individual ability, but brother, do you really believe Master Karu, a strong Arcanist capable of instant-casting powerful spells, would lose to a sub-Six-Winged Silver-Eyed Knight or a Fearful Flying Cavalry?"

"Absolutely no way! Even the Six-Winged Heavenly Kings might not be a match for Master Karu!" The baby-faced companion had an unspoken thought in his heart. With the master’s strength being so immense, it’s unlikely his father would be weak either. For someone of such power to retreat to the mountains, could it be that he’d offended one of the Witch Kings?

"Respected Master Karu, the one beside you is...?" The timid cleric, Shabi, nervously pointed at the Blood Servant next to Lao Liu.

"This is a form of Arcane Power—an ancestral family secret technique." Liu Zhenhuan chuckled. Since Moore had entered the underground and the Demon Clan had yet to invade the Aegean, he wasn’t afraid of exposing anything.

Seeing the four adventurers gape in astonishment, Lao Liu assumed a saintly posture: "Brave friends, participating in the Holy War is an unshirkable duty for every Silver-Eyed warrior! As for the Left Bank Heavenly King competition you’ve mentioned, it does sound quite challenging! However... I’m not sure whether my father’s old enemies still exist or whether they might cause me trouble. So, I’ll need to consider it carefully!"

"Don’t think about it anymore, Master Karu! As long as we don’t say a word, no one will know your identity!" Soreskia pounded his chest in excitement.

"Oh?" Lao Liu thought it was hilarious. Why is this kid more anxious than the Emperor himself, acting like an overeager eunuch?

"As long as you can become the Left Bank—no, you’ll definitely become the Left Bank Heavenly King! When that happens, please bring us under your banner as your personal guards. Let us join as the Demon Clan warriors in the first cadre to reclaim our ancestors’ lost lands!" The lich Soreskia and cleric Shabi poured out their earnest hopes to Lao Liu. It was obvious; they knew their abilities were far from sufficient to enter the Regular Army’s front lines.

Damn it! War maniacs! Lao Liu curled his lips in disdain, silently resolving himself. Screw your grandmother! If that’s the case, then I might as well legally eliminate a few of you Winged Knights! It’d be worth the trip to the Demon World!

Feigning deep thought for a long while, Liu Zhenhuan eventually agreed to the adventurers’ proposal.

Their cheers erupted instantaneously.

After digging a pit to bury the dead Bohani, Lao Liu took the man’s armor and sword to outfit himself.

The old armor seemed to be from a bygone era and showed no clear signs of what Magical Metal it was made of. Its jointed parts were so worn that they shone, and even the slightest movement caused it to squeak and creak. Since it wasn’t based on bionic principles, Lao Liu found it restrictive and uncomfortable to wear. He even accidentally snapped off a few rivets during adjustments.

If this were in Florence, even slave cannon fodder wouldn’t bother to wear such a ramshackle suit of armor.

Borrowing the opportunity to fetch his belongings from dozens of miles away, Lao Liu fully armed himself with his own elite gear. Using his Mental Power to mask Elemental Fluctuations and the cover provided by the armor and knight gloves, there was no fear of attracting greedy eyes.

The Silver-Eyed warrior’s sword wasn’t bad. Though it was merely a counterfeit Frost’s Sorrow—a bit kitschy and with edges riddled with tiny, grain-sized dents—it had been sharpened well, showcasing the owner’s diligent upkeep.

The mutated Morian leech didn’t have a Magic Crystal. Lao Liu had initially planned to secretly turn it into a Netherworld Fire skeleton and let Gerein consume it. However, thanks to the unintentional guidance of the four young friends, Lao Liu discovered a not-so-secret secret: though this mutated Arcane Beast lacked a crystal nucleus in its head, within its body lay a ridge-shaped reverse bone. This reverse bone comprised the Demon World’s renowned "Osteo Staff!"

Osteo Staffs could store mana and had a special function—by infusing Elemental Power as a magical catalyst, the staff could directly unleash the mutated Arcane Beast’s spells!

Although the cooldown period was an entire day and it could only unleash one spell at a time, there was no doubt that such an "Osteo" from a mutated Arcane Beast was far superior to the Aegean Continent’s Magic Crystals!

The crystal nucleus of Aegean’s Magical Beasts only served to store magical energy. Only the top-tier Magical Beasts’ crystal nuclei could contain a pre-stored spell. The crystal nuclei from super-level Magical Beasts could even store Forbidden Curses, but that still required the mage to infuse the spell themselves—it couldn’t appear spontaneously!

Osteos, on the other hand, could!

The Demon World undoubtedly had super-level Arcane Beasts. If one could take down a "mutated" super-level Arcane Beast and harvest its ridge bone to craft it into a staff, even a nobody like Soreskia could easily unleash some incredibly powerful attack spells!

Mutations certainly had their advantages too! Lao Liu inwardly felt a bit grateful. Thankfully, mutated Arcane Beasts weren’t abundant in the Demon World. If they were everywhere, the Demon Clan could send a squad of experts to hunt them down and arm every Elementalist with an Osteo Staff. At that point, a single exchange would shatter any Aegean mage’s confidence!

Obischillaci! Liu Zhenhuan silently vowed to himself. If I don’t turn your Demon World upside down, then I have no right to call myself the Messenger of the War God!
