Chapter 2574 - 1124: Desperate Pursuit (Part 2)
With this hammer in hand, Baron Blood is practically crippled, most moves are ineffective against him.
It’s just that the other members of the Demigod Adventure Team have all been sent back, and he lacks a meat shield in front.
Otherwise, Gaven would devise a new strategy to fiercely teach this Vampire God a lesson. Even if he couldn’t kill him, he’d make him avoid him in the future.
"Bastard!" The Vampire God roared repeatedly, but was helpless.
The opponent’s speed was just too fast, and even with the help of a captive embodiment, he could only teleport precisely.
When he teleported there, the enemy had already run several kilometers, far beyond his attack range.
He had originally hoped that his two embodiments would cooperate with him to block and intercept, but they were clearly scared by the opponent, afraid to get too close, fearing to follow in the footsteps of the previous two embodiments.
Those demon bats were fearless of death, but the problem was their limited strength, incapable of posing a threat to the enemy.
"Lord Archiel, this blind pursuit won’t work." A cold voice echoed in Baron Blood’s mind.
"Veen!"
Baron Blood immediately recognized his identity; the other was another loyal hound of Prince Grazte of the Ubar, renowned as the Voice of Grazte, a demon diplomat.
Though both served under the same regime, they rarely interacted, each with distinct responsibilities—one externally, one internally.
Moreover, Baron Blood didn’t think highly of him.
This guy had ambitions that didn’t match his abilities, often using Grazte’s name to stir trouble outside.
He frequently played scheming games with those demon lords, weakening his influence in Azegrat.
But these conspiratorial methods were merely appetizers compared to absolute strength, easily shattered.
Yet in the current situation, Baron Blood couldn’t care about past grievances and asked: "Lord Veen, do you have any good ideas?"
The other was, after all, a feeble divine power with some strength.
"His main goal now is to leave Azegrat. As long as you determine his direction of escape and set up interceptions in advance, it should be feasible," Veen replied through psychic whisper.
"Azegrat is so vast, and he is flying, able to change direction anytime. How can you set up an interception in advance?" Baron Blood had considered this as well.
"I can assist you in driving him to your trap, but..." Veen spoke halfway, leaving things unsaid.
"Tell me, what’s your condition?" Baron Blood was accustomed to this.
The Bottomless Abyss has never had a tradition of altruism.
Everything comes with a price, even if both are loyal to Prince Grazte of the Ubar.
"I want the ruling rights of Samoray!" Voice of Grazte replied.
Clearly, this demon diplomat had returned to Azegrat long ago, and might have even visited Samoray, figuring out what happened there.
Lurking for who knows how long, but never acted.
Someone weakening Baron Blood’s strength was favorable for him, meaning his importance before Prince Ubar would increase slightly.
’This guy is as greedy as ever,’ Baron Blood cursed silently.
Samoray isn’t important; the crucial part is the Hall of Calculation in this city, the contract center of entire Azegrat.
All contracts signed with Agrazte demons automatically enter and are stored there.
Prince Grazte views this place as forbidden, always controlled by his most trusted mistress, Marreta, and their daughters.
For a demon who loves manipulating others and spying on secrets, it’s an irresistible temptation.
Voice of Grazte has been eyeing this for days, now with Succubus Manipulator Marreta’s betrayal, he has an opportunity.
"I don’t oppose this," Baron Blood replied expressionlessly, "but the decision doesn’t lie with me, it’s determined by His Majesty."
"You just need to support me; the rest is my business." Voice of Grazte wanted this competitor not to interfere from the shadows.
"Sign the contract then." Baron Blood responded without hesitation.
Since the benefit doesn’t come from him, it’s impossible for Prince Ubar to hand over the Hall of Calculation to him.
A mass of green viscous liquid silently merged with Baron Blood’s Blood Divine Power, then vanished, representing the contract between the two parties.
Countless green rays of light converged from all directions, forming a figure surrounded by psychic mucus, "Judging by the direction he advances, he’s likely heading for Viper Forest. There are numerous kiln portals, it’s the closest and most convenient way to leave Azegrat.
With his Road Divine Power, he just needs to find any portal to leave Azegrat.
This will be our last chance; if we can’t seize it, we won’t accomplish His Majesty’s task, and it will be hard to rescue your embodiment. I’ll do my best to ensure he falls into your trap."
"How can you ensure he’ll go to Viper Forest?" Baron Blood held skepticism; it was in a demon’s nature.
"The only thing you can do now is trust me." Voice of Grazte had no intention of explaining, again transforming into a psychic light mass, disappearing instantly.
