Devil's Son-in-Law

Chapter 1214: Nightmare

Time passed day by day.

In the ‘door’ of the Golden Estate, where countless eyes were watching, the demon finally appeared.

However, there was only 1 person.

Facing the Human Coalition Army that was waiting in full force and the monstrous murderous aura, this person appeared calm and unhurried as if he didn’t care.

This composure had been maintained when the demon went all the way to the Human Coalition Army headquarters in the Golden Estate City.

“The messenger of the demons?” Lex the Great looked at the demon in front of him, which looked no different from ordinary humans. This should be the strongest race great demon among the demons apart from the royal family. They had a special demon transformation during battle.

“Greetings, Your Majesty Lex. I’m Francis. Vacheli, the deputy legion commander of the Red Dragon Legion that is under the first general of the Fallen Angel Empire, George. I hereby send you a challenge letter from the highest commander General Gerant of the Demon Coalition Army.” Francis’ tone was neither humble nor overbearing as he calmly faced the glaring eyes all around.

“General Gerant? So it is this commander who made me suffer in the previous battle in the Demon Realm.” Lex the Great ordered his subordinates to take the challenge letter from Francis’ hand. After he glanced at it, he was slightly surprised, “General Gerant wants a fair fight with me? In this Golden Estate?”

The demons must have learned the situation of the Human Coalition Army and the ‘door’ in the Golden Estate from the captured soldiers. It was not necessarily the betrayal of the captured soldiers. In this magical world, there were many means of reading memory, so it was no surprise that they could get these intels.

“Yes.” Francis’ eyes flashed as he looked around, “I don’t know if you all have the guts?”

“Hmph! Such insolent provocation! Want to provoke us with this little trick?” Tristan, the famous general of the Dragon Bright Empire, had always had a fiery temper. He immediately shouted, “Your Majesty, demons are sinister and scheming. In the last battle, we suffered heavy casualties because of their trap – There is no need to waste our words with this demon. Killing him and throwing his head into the Demon Realm is the best answer!”

Tristan’s only younger brother was the commander of the rear army stationed in the Demon Realm. He unfortunately died in the previous battle of the Demon Realm. As such, Tristan hated the demons to their cores.

As soon as this word came out. Many people responded one after another, and the killing intent in the headquarters was surging. Although Francis’ strength had reached the peak stage of the Demon Emperor, it was impossible for him to escape from such a place full of powerhouses.

Lex the Great stared at the fearless Francis, and he suddenly smiled, “Admirable courage! This sentence is not only referring to you, but more to that General Gerant. I understand what he means. This fight is an overt scheme. In the face of absolute strength, scheme is nothing more than a trivial trick. Please go back and tell General Gerant that I will accept his challenge.”

When Tristan saw that Lex the Great let Francis go back unscathed, he couldn’t help being anxious, “Your Majesty…”

Lex the Great glanced at his old subordinate, “Tristan, I expect you to cut off the head of this demon general commanding the enemy army on the battlefield, but not this messenger.”

Tristan clenched the hilt around his waist with great momentum, “Yes!”

“I’m also looking forward to meeting General Tristan again in that fight to see who has the sharpest sword… I’ll leave now!” Francis gave a simple military salute to Lex the Great before he turned around and stride away.

After a moment of silence, Sandro, who had been silent all this time, said, “The challenge of the demons this time is unexpected. What is even more surprising is their self-confidence. They actually propose a battle on our battlefield. This kind of self-confidence is almost terrifying. We must have the confidence to win, but we must also be prepared for all kinds of tough battles and even bitter battles.”

Sandro didn’t say ‘prepare to fail’, because this battle was crucial. No matter what, he couldn’t lose, even if it cost his life.

“Yes, the previous setbacks are over. Don’t take it too seriously. This will be the real first battle, and it may also be the decisive battle.” Lex the Great narrowed his eyes slightly, “Both sides will dispatch the strongest force. In the Demon Realm, we did lose, and the demons have proved their strength. Now that they come to our territory, it is time for us to prove our strength! Behind us are countless eyes of relatives and people. No matter what, we must win this fight!”

The voice of Lex the Great spread far away, and all the soldiers who heard it excitedly raised their weapons and shouted in unison: Win! Win!

The voice got louder and louder. Even the messenger of the Demon Realm who was walking away could hear it. Francis showed the same confident smile: In this fight, the winner will belong to the Demon Realm!

…

Space.

Shattered.

The shattered space void flickered from time to time with lightning caused by terrifying energy impacts.

There were chaotic and huge force fields everywhere. The whole world was constantly twisting, shattering, and trembling.

The space was blurry, and countless nebula-like objects were crisscrossing at high speed. Every movement could trigger a huge power that almost destroyed the world.

The blurry center became clear again. Those nebulas that appeared at first glance were actually countless individual figures. The power they possessed was as vast and even great as small universes. However, under the light of the core object, the light of these great figures kept dimming. Many of them even scattered into soil and dust and were annihilated without a trace.

The core surrounded by the great figures was a blood-red existence. During the visual changes, a human figure could vaguely be seen, but only half of the body was left.

Even half of his body still displayed indescribable strength. In front of the frantically waving blood-red light, the shining nebulas turned into soil and dust. The approaching figures were torn apart and annihilated.

Even so, the nebula figures continued to move forward, shrinking the blood-red half body little by little.

The blood-red body suddenly roared. The terrifying sound turned the world upside down. Half of the body began to condense and change rapidly. Slowly, a huge pupil opened amidst the blood mist that was constantly restrained by the nebulas.

Blood-red pupil!

What was emitted from this pupil was not the power of destruction or creation, but a kind of breath that was both the first and the final knot, eternal and immortal.

The moment the pupil opened, a real crack appeared in the space. The crack was filled with shocking blood red. Wherever the blood red passed, the nebulas or the human figures were all turned into ashes!

Everything in vision shattered.

Chen Rui opened his eyes suddenly. What he saw was a familiar room. A thin morning sun was shining through the window.

“What happened?” Isabella’s concerned voice sounded beside him.

“It’s nothing. It seems like I had a nightmare.” Chen Rui’s tense body slowly relaxed, and his breathing relaxed a lot.

“Your head is full of sweat.” Zola on the other side wiped his forehead, “What nightmare?”

Just as Chen Rui was about to answer, he suddenly found that in the storage warehouse of the Super System, the original faint light on a card gradually went out.

‘King of Darkness’ magic card.

This card can even produce such a mental effect in the storage warehouse?

Is the nightmare just now a spiritual illusion?

Chen Rui shook his head. No, although I could only watch without moving, that feeling is more like witnessing a real existence.

The card seems to be revealing some shocking truth in the nightmare.

That blood-red pupil…

And the eye that I had seen in another place…

Chen Rui thought for a while, then he shook his head.

“Don’t worry. I’m fine.” Seeing the worried faces of Isabella and Zola, Chen Rui held their hands and kissed them.

“Sleep a little longer? Your mental state is not very good.”

The morning was usually a time of ‘vigorousness’. Normally, ‘sleeping a little longer’ was tantamount to a hint, which must be another fiery passionate session. However, Chen Rui was obviously restless today, even a little haggard. Ms. Fairy Dragon and Madam Aunt both noticed it, so they had no mood for hooking up and just wanted their man to really rest for a while.

“No, it’s still early. You guys sleep for a while. I’ll go get some air.”

Chen Rui got up and walked out of the house, looking at the calm sky as always. For some reason, these days, a feeling of depression was getting stronger and stronger.

It was not only Chen Rui who felt depressed, almost all the demons felt heavy in their hearts during this time.

The reason why the demons were depressed was that the upcoming decisive battle between the Demon Coalition Army and the Human Coalition Army was coming.

Nightmare Volcano.

The surrounding vibrations became more intense,

A large expanse of soil and rock arched high, then they were forcibly suppressed by the green lights emitted by the huge runes, but this suppression had become more and more ineffective. The amplitude and frequency of the ground’s undulations were also gradually accelerating.

The huge runes had been expanded to the limit. There were even cracks on the runes. The continuously suppressed expansion force was about to explode completely. The seemingly withered wooden crutch rested on the rock, easily crushing the hard rock as if it was a rotten dead branch.

The expanded ground nearby deflated quickly like a punctured balloon. At the same time, drops of blood fell on the ground along the whithered wooden crutch. They were quickly evaporated by the high temperature before they seeped into the ground.

The source of the blood was the hands holding the whithered wooden crutch tightly. One was a white hand, and the other… was a beast-like claw. Most of the dark green cloak he was wearing was stained black by dried blood. The exhausted rickety body trembled slightly, and the blood continued to overflow.

More than once.

If someone was around, he could feel that the life in the cloak was like a candle in the wind, which might go out at any time, but it survived again and again.

The ground soon began to shake again, and there was a roar from the cloak. His body burst out with green light to suppress the turbulent force.

The increasingly violent expansion and undulation caused large cracks to appear on the ground. The cracks on the huge runes deepened, and a bright red light stream appeared in the cracks like rushing blood.

This time, not only the huge runes, but there were also cracks on the withered wooden crutch.

All of a sudden, the scene seemed to be paused.

In the next second of pause, everything exploded.

The entire volcanic field and the entire Nightmare Wilderness trembled.

Nightmare Volcano erupted.
