Chapter 725: An Even Stronger Presence in the Demon Realm!
Chapter 725: An Even Stronger Presence in the Demon Realm!
After Night City's speech, not only did the Order Enforcer who had just spoken feel ashamed, but even the other Enforcers, upon understanding Night City's "true intentions," were deeply moved.
Indeed, Sir Galahad was still the same caring superior as before, always looking out for his subordinates.
Yes, Sir Galahad had previously been able to easily overpower Fourth Overlord Ragnarok.
Even though Ragnarok, fused with Modred, had become stronger, their Sir Galahad would undoubtedly be able to ensure his own safety and would never shy away from a fight.
The reason Sir Galahad decided to retreat was entirely out of concern for their well-being.
Their strength was too weak, and getting caught in the crossfire of such powerful beings could have easily taken their lives.
Yet, despite Sir Galahad's considerate care for them, they still had doubts, which was utterly despicable!
"I hope that Sir Modred will have great success in battle and be able to capture the Shadow Courtyard. That way, he can not only wash away his shame but also atone for his mistakes with his achievements."
As they retreated, upon hearing Night City's muttering, Gadore and the other Order Enforcers couldn't help but burst into tears.
It turned out that their Sir Galahad not only cared for and protected them but also had nothing but respect for his friend, Sir Modred.
Indeed, if he were only concerned about their safety, he could have allowed them to retreat while he stayed to continue the fight.
The reason Sir Galahad chose to retreat with them was to give all the credit to Sir Modred.
After all, Sir Modred would bear most of the blame for the Order's failure this time.
Although he was the ninth seat among the Round Table Knights, such a significant mistake would undoubtedly result in severe punishment.
Sir Galahad's willingness to give up the credit was to help Sir Modred atone for his mistakes, and such a magnanimous and loyal gesture was unmatched by anyone else!
In summary, after Night City's chaotic actions, the Order Enforcers under his command had become his die-hard followers.
After this incident, even if Night City asked them to storm the Diabolos Headquarters, these men would likely not hesitate, believing that Sir Galahad must have had his reasons for doing so.
As for the Orliana Capital, after Night City and his group left, Sir Modred finally felt free to act.
The "smart" Sir Modred realized that his good brother, Night City, had intended to let him take all the credit by ordering a retreat, and he was deeply touched.
While thinking that if he could return to his original form, he would celebrate with his good brother, Sir Modred turned to face the Shadow Lord and revealed a look of disdain.
The leader of the Shadow Courtyard, the Shadow Lord, had very little information available, even to the Order.
However, one thing was certain: the Shadow Lord's power was formidable, and his demonic strength was so astonishing that the Order once suspected he might be a Demon Realm (Alternate World) Overlord.
But even if the Shadow Lord were indeed a Demon Realm Overlord, Sir Modred was not the least bit intimidated.
If the opponent was an Alternate World Overlord, did that mean he himself was no longer one?
Although he had become a monster, Sir Modred was captivated by the power he now possessed.
With this power, taking complete control of the Order was not entirely out of the question.
If he could defeat the Shadow Lord here, he would return and use force to take control of the Order, then become the "King" himself, and make his good brother Night City the first seat among the Round Table Knights.
As for those who dared to oppose him, they would all have to die!
What Sir Modred didn't realize was that he had already begun to be influenced by Ragnarok's power, and his thoughts were gradually becoming filled with brutality and slaughter.
"I am Shadow, lurking in the shadows, hunting those who dwell in darkness.
Power manifests in many forms, and the form you've taken now, in my eyes, is not one of strength, but merely a puppet of power."
As he looked at Mordred, who had transformed into a half-human, half-demon, Shadow Lord repeated his usual cheesy lines, then turned to observe Mordred's expression, his face filled with disappointment.
Since both were going to merge with demons and become half-human, half-demon, Shadow Lord preferred Mordred to fuse with another individual from the Black Rose instead of Ragnarok. That way, Mordred might become even stronger, and it would be more exciting for Shadow Lord.
Yes, when the Black Rose opened, Shadow Lord initially wanted to hunt Ragnarok after seeing him.
But when he approached the Black Rose, he felt an even more powerful magic force on the other side of the passage!
Perhaps the Cult's so-called strongest magic force in Observational History wasn't referring to the Fourth Demon Lord Ragnarok, but to another entity in the Demon Realm.
It made sense; if Ragnarok were truly the strongest boss in the interconnected worlds of the Black Rose, how could he be at the forefront of the battle? In other words, Ragnarok was probably just a "general," and the true "king" was someone else.
Upon realizing this, Shadow Lord directly traveled through the Black Rose to the Demon Realm and fought the true Demon Lord. This was why he hadn't appeared during the previous battle.
The other Demon Lord in the Demon Realm was far more powerful than Ragnarok, but in the end, he still died a pitiful death before the true Demon Lord.
After hunting down the other Demon Lord and returning through the Black Rose passage, Shadow Lord saw Mordred, now half-human and half-demon, standing before him.
To be honest, Mordred's current half-demon form had significantly stronger magic power than Ragnarok before, but he was still slightly weaker than the other Demon Lord Shadow Lord had defeated in the Demon Realm. This was why Shadow Lord's face showed disappointment.
Seeing the disappointment on Shadow Lord's face and his condescending tone, Mordred's face turned red with anger.
"You say I'm a puppet of power? You think my current power is all show?
How arrogant! I'll show you just how powerful I am now! My good brother, Night City, seems to have suffered at your hands as well. This time, I'll settle all our past and present grudges!"
Shadow Lord maintained his calm expression during the first half of Mordred's speech, but the latter half left him somewhat bewildered.
Night City was this guy's good brother? What was going on?
Shadow Lord had been kept in the dark by everyone, and he still didn't know that Night City had become a high-ranking member of the Cult.
However, Shadow Lord's change in expression made Mordred feel satisfied, as he thought Shadow Lord was afraid.
To demonstrate his power, Mordred began to gather his magic and unleashed various area-of-effect attacks.
Shadow Lord dodged the attacks while using telepathic communication to ask Beta and the others about the relationship between the monster before him and Night City.
After learning everything from Beta, Shadow Lord's face under his cloak slightly curled up in a smile. He then appeared in front of Mordred with a flash and kicked him out of the atmosphere!
