Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Female Demon, Astros!

Upon hearing this, Li Haotian was taken aback.

Demon Lord?

What kind of new trick is this?

Beside him, Varian said gravely, "Lord Haotian, it’s like this, that day, after you defeated the Skeleton King in the Giant Dragon Mountain Range and eradicated the undead army."

"We were worried about any unforeseen occurrences, so we stayed at Xiquan Fortress to observe the situation."

"As expected, that night, we saw a red light suddenly shoot up from the horde’s side."

"Afterward, a layer of dark red light began to spread from the horde’s side toward the Giant Dragon Mountain Range."

"Wherever this layer of dark red light passed, the forest and wilderness on the horde’s end started to wither rapidly, the earth cracked, and the soil turned black."

"Then very quickly, this light engulfed the entire Xiquan Fortress."

Speaking to this point, Varian took a deep breath, a hint of fear in his eyes: "And that was when the unforeseen events occurred."

"Those engulfed by this layer of dark red light, many began to mutate, turning into those monsters covered with dark red patterns all over their bodies."

"The entire Xiquan Fortress descended into chaos, and that was also when Freya was taken!"

Li Haotian asked in confusion, "That’s not right, even though those Burning Legion troops become highly resistant with the augmentation of Demon Power."

"But with several of you Saints gathered at Xiquan Fortress, how could Freya have been captured?"

Beside him, Orelia said with a face full of shame, "It was all our negligence."

"When Xiquan Fortress mutated, we were so shocked that we immediately took action to suppress it."

"It was at this moment that a horned female demon suddenly descended; she just glanced at Freya and instantly controlled her."

Kudran said gravely, "After capturing Freya, that female demon immediately fled towards the horde’s side. I tried to stop her, but her strength was too overwhelming, I couldn’t withstand even one hit from her and was knocked back."

"As she left, she said her name was Astros, one of the Three Demon Commanders under the Eleven Apostle Ozma."

Beside him, Grom suddenly interjected with a remark, "I can testify, old Kud isn’t exaggerating at all, that cursed female demon’s strength is indeed terrifying, casually slapping old Kud back."

"If it weren’t for old Kud’s quick reflexes, he might have ended up like his Griffin mount, slapped to death by that female demon!"

Kudran’s mouth twitched as he glared at Grom, but he couldn’t find words to rebuke him.

Li Haotian’s gaze sharpened.

Kudran is a warrior of over level ninety!

With that kind of power, he couldn’t even withstand a casual slap from that female demon.

Doesn’t that mean the female demon’s combat strength is entirely on a different level than Kudran?

Thinking of this, Li Haotian immediately asked, "Chief Kudran, what do you think, how does that female demon’s strength compare to Smaug?"

Kudran replied without hesitation, "Completely not on the same level! Smaug’s casual strike would absolutely not render me powerless!"

Hearing Kudran’s adamant answer, Li Haotian furrowed his brows even deeper.

Not on the same level as Smaug at all?

Doesn’t that mean, just like the previous Witch Demon King or Skeleton King, this opponent could very well be a level one hundred super powerhouse?

The problem is, if that female demon named Astros really is a level one hundred powerhouse.

With her strength, even if Kudran and Varian and all of the Saints join forces, they couldn’t stand a chance against her!

If so, why would she need to flee?

A flash of light appeared in Li Haotian’s eyes: Or could it be... she has some other purpose?

Just as this thought appeared in Li Haotian’s mind, Varian hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said in a deep voice, "Lord Haotian, I actually suspect that the female demon may very well be targeting you."

Li Haotian raised his eyebrows and looked at Varian.

Varian glanced at the silent Orelia, guilt flashing in his eyes, but he continued, "I’m well aware of old Kud’s strength, that night, when he faced the female demon, he indeed had no chance to retaliate."

"This implies that the female demon’s level of strength far surpasses ours."

"But even so, the female demon only took Freya and didn’t destroy us directly."

"I wonder, could the demon behind her, Ozma, have discovered the special connection between you and Freya, knowing you’re not from the Azeroth Continent, using her to lure you out."

Beside him, Orelia bit her lip tightly, clenching her fists, her eyes flickering with struggle and worry.

Actually, it’s not just Varian, she also had such suspicions.

Originally, she planned to personally head to the horde’s side to find out where her daughter was.

But the appearance of the Burning Legion had kept them, the Saints, too busy to search for Freya.

Originally they were worried, if Astros’ target truly was Li Haotian.

Then, surely, the demons must have already set up a trap targeting Li Haotian in secret.

As long as Li Haotian appears through the Symbiotic Contract with Freya, he would inevitably fall into the demons’ trap.

But what they didn’t expect was that, even with Freya captured, Li Haotian would still appear in Storm City, helping them eliminate those terrifying Burning Legion and the Giant Dragon tainted by Demon Power.

Now, aside from their last stronghold of Storm City, the Burning Legion has nearly occupied most of the alliance’s territory.

And the only person who could aid them in facing this catastrophe would undoubtedly be Li Haotian.

If Li Haotian attempts to rescue Freya but falls into those demons’ schemes, should any mishap occur, the entire Azeroth Alliance’s fate would be predictable!

As the leaders of the Azeroth Alliance, from the standpoint of duty, Varian and the others now have no choice but to abandon Freya.

They must not let Li Haotian endanger himself to avoid falling into those demons’ traps.

Li Haotian isn’t a fool. After listening to Varian, he immediately perceived the hidden strangeness in the matter.

Simultaneously, he linked it to the Blue Star, where he had just killed the Eighth Apostle, Rotes.

The light in Li Haotian’s eyes continually shifted as he pondered if there could be any connection between these two events.

Rotes and Ozma are both Demon Envoys, and their leader should be the so-called King of Demon Realm.

Then, after Rotes died in the Shikigami Space, would the King of Demon Realm react?

With the Blue Star’s Plane Rules as a barrier, those Demon Envoys shouldn’t be able to descend arbitrarily.

If that’s the case, might they adopt the same roundabout method as Rotes did to invade Blue Star?

For instance... the Symbiotic Contract between Freya and myself?

One must know, with that Symbiotic Contract, Freya and I can perform interdimensional transmission!
