The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak Chapter 557: Warning

Chapter 557: Warning

In the God's Continent...
The Demon army was advancing with powerful momentum as they conquered cities and kingdoms left and right. The power of their army was too high that it brought terror upon the whole land.
The southern part of the continent was ground zero. Most of the people that lived here evacuated in fear that the demon army will massacre them. It was a brutal place that span over several tens of thousands of kilometers.
Although the demon army was powerful their advancement had slowed down. The God's Continent wasn't an easy place to conquer after all. There were dozens of powerful factions and all of them couldn't be underestimated. Until now, the major faction like Mount Olympus, Asgard, or Angel faction only sent some of their forces to stop the demons.
The God's Continent was huge and it was the largest continent in the Imperium. The land that the demons have conquered was small compared to the entirety of the continent. They were still far from reaching the territory of those major factions. Even some of the countries here had birthed one or two god-level powerhouses so naturally, the demon had to exert more force if they wanted to reach the major factions.
But the demon army right now could only do what they could. It was because they were reaching their hands too far. They invaded the Giza Continent and God's Continent at the same time. It means that their forces were divided into two and no matter how many demons were there they still wouldn't be able to conquer the two continents at the same time.
That's why some of the major factions didn't move directly as they were still trying to find out the goals of the demons. It wasn't a simple invasion and dividing their army into two was too risky so why did the Demon Emperor do that?
It was as if the demons were trying to find something...
At this moment, the demons had raided the nearest dukedom. Of course, the dukedom resisted with all of their might but the demon army was just too strong for them. They quickly suffered heavy casualties on a single night and their capital was taken over.
"Oho, humans and demis are weak!"
"Hahaha, they aren't weak! We are just powerful!"
The demons chatted as they slaughtered the people from the dukedom.
One of the high-ranking demons was patrolling the site, counting the casualties that they've suffered.
He was tall and huge. He was wearing black armor and a pair of heavy swords were hanging on his back. His skin was purple with black veins around his arms. He had a pair of black horns on the side of his head and his sclera was dark purple.
"Ugh! Aah! Come on! Human!"
Groans and moans sounded from one of the broken houses.
Hmm?
The demon turned his head and saw his fellow demon raping a human woman from the side. His expression turned cold and said, "The Demon General ordered to slaughter the humans and demis, so what do you think you are doing?"
The demon that was assaulting a human woman turned his head and saw his face. His expression turned pale and he quickly stood up.
"S-Sir Knight!! I'm going to kill her after this! I'm just venting out-"
Before he could finish his words, the high-ranking demon waved his hand and decapitated the human woman.
The woman died without any resistance and her suffering had ended in an instant.
"Go away now! Before I get angry!"
The high-ranking demon said in a cold tone.
"Yes, sir..."
The low-ranking demon quickly retreated. He was afraid that his superior would kill him too. Dying like this was humiliating and he didn't want that to happen.
Sigh!
The high-ranking demon sighed while looking at his subordinate's back. Some of the demons cared about their honors but they didn't care about their enemies' honor. He really thought that those demons were pathetic.
Looking around he could see bloodstains everywhere and body parts scattered in every corner of the streets. The battle before was brutal and their enemies were desperate as they tried suicidal tactics. He could even see body parts of his fellow demons on the ground.
This was a battlefield. Ordinary people would puke at a mere sight of this place. The stench of blood was too thick and the ground was dyed in blood.
"Soon, this place will become one of our territories..."
He muttered in a low voice. The demons will rebuild this city so that other demons could live in this land. The same thing happened to the country they first invaded.
Right now, the humans and demis that they were encountering were getting stronger. He realized that sooner or later they will meet humans or demis that have the same power level as theirs. After all, this continent was in the Great World Imperium.
"Just what is Majesty planning to do? Tens of thousands of demons had already perished in the war..."
The demon before called him Sir Knight. That title was related to their power levels. In this place, a Demon Knight like him was equal to Solidifying Realm expert. In the other continent, it was called S-rank but in the Demon's Land, the demon that solidified its mana was called Demon Knight.
A Demon Knight like him could become the leader of a company. It means that he had more than a hundred demons under his command.
Boom!!
Suddenly, a powerful aura swept out in the whole area. The aura brought pressure to all the demons in the land. They couldn't help but kneel down under. Slowly raising his head, the high-ranking demon saw a group of people flying in the sky.
"What?!"
He was shocked as he recognized that the people who flew above them weren't demons. They were humans and demis but... the power that those people possessed was extremely terrifying.
Even the pressure that brought him onto his knees was horrific. It was as if he was in the presence of a Demon Pillar, a demon that ascended.
He stared at those people with his eyes. Those people were wearing black robes and their murderous aura was overflowing.
Boom!
A shockwave swept out several kilometers. The Demon Pillar had moved and it seems that he was going to confront these unknown people.
Swoosh!
A man wearing a black robe with fur on its collar slowly flew out of the group of people. He had messy chestnut color hair and eyes. The energy around his body was overwhelming that it brought countless demons to their knees.
"Kneel down, I don't like the way you demons look at me."
He muttered and his energy exploded once again. Those demons that haven't brought their shackles directly collapsed and lose their consciousness. Even the demons that broke one to four shackles could barely endure the enormous aura in the atmosphere.
This man... if he wanted, he could directly kill all the five hundred shackled realm demons in this place without breaking a sweat.
But this man didn't want that... He came here to warn them. He glanced at the most important demon in this place. That demon was none other than the Leader of the 69th Army of the Great Demon Emperor Lucifer, Jaguan Derka, a Demon Pillar.
The Demon Pillar, Jaguan, was sweating as he stared at the man before his eyes. Even though he already ascended and was on the same level, the man before him could still bring this much pressure on his body. It feels like he was in the presence of His Majesty, Lucifer.
"Don't worry, demon. I'm not here to kill you. I'm just here to leave a message to your leader. Tell your emperor that this continent will become my hunting ground. I don't wish to add the Heavenly Demon Palace as my enemy as all the major factions of this continent will go against me soon." The man paused for a moment before he continued, "So tell Lucifer to slow down his army. I will eradicate all the demons if they block my path if I deem it."
"How dare you utter the emperor's name?" Jaguan said in a loud voice when he heard this man's words.
"It doesn't matter how I address Lucifer. Tell him that I, Esquin Georagnisus, the Ruler of Gluttony, will make an appearance in the world. I don't know what is he planning but don't forget to remind him of my words."
The man looked at the Demon Pillar coldly. His robe fluttered in the winds as he waved his right hand beside him. A pitch-black portal formed and he gave the demon one more glance before he entered the portal.
"Don't forget my words, demon. Oh, also let me warn you... The Ancient Underground King, Sky King, and Sea King have been unsealed. You should deal with them first before you head out to conquer other lands. Those three monster lords are going to take over your land before you know it. Their peak power is even stronger than most of the monster lords nowadays. Chaotic time is here, you don't have an idea about it, but Lucifer understands the significance of the disappearance of the rules."
His words lingered for a while before it disappeared.
