Chapter 768 - Forcing The Arch Demons To Attack

Meanwhile, as Aria, the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman, and the rest of the humans in the back witnesses the battle, doubt begins to sprout in some of their hearts.
"I've been hearing the demons calling Young Master Leonhardt a traitorous demon, and I thought there's no way that's possible; he looks nothing like any of the demons. However, I'm not so sure anymore after what I am seeing."
"Right? I also have the same doubts. That blood refining ability and degree of darkness energy control only demons possess… It does make Young Master Leonhardt seem like a demon…"
"But I've never heard of any human that can be a demon; I've only heard of demonized humans and demonic cultivators—not to mention, they are usually at the bottom of the hierarchy in demon society unless favored by a high-ranking demon."
"Maybe Young Master Leonhardt only looks like a human on the surface? Perhaps his demon traits are hidden under his black leather armor and cloak…
The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman overheard everything as the tribe warriors quietly discussed the topic, and his heart wavered.
"Miss Aria, Young Master Leonhardt… He is…"
"He is undoubtedly human, senior."
Before the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman could finish asking, Aria had already answered his query without a shred of doubt in her tone.
"But the demons are calling Young Master Leonhardt a noble demon," the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman stated before asking with knitted brows, "What is that about?"
"I'm not so sure either, senior. But from what I've observed, Leon's ability to suppress the weaker demons seems to be a distinctive trait of these so-call noble demons; that might be why the demons have mistaken him for one," Aria answered.
"I see…" the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman uttered with a thoughtful look.
Looking back on the matter, perhaps the young master could use his mistaken identity to infiltrate the demon's territory in the future and allow them to learn more about the southern lands.
Nevertheless, it was still extremely risky and dangerous.
The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman had no intention of suggesting such a dangerous task to the young master.
No matter what, the young master is still the hope of the Seven Tribes Alliance; they couldn't afford to lose such a person.
'Once the secret realm ends, the battle for hegemony in the Infertile Plains will enter its peak… How strong do we have to be to stand a chance?'
The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman silently mused to himself before shaking his head and focusing on the battle.
Although Aria was seemingly calm in her speech, she was on edge, ready to jump into the fray at a moment's notice.
"Young Master Leonhardt never cease to amaze this old man. Since the young master can easily kill Arch Demons, there's no need to worry about the young master, Miss Aria. Young Master Leonhardt has complete control of this battle."
The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman attempted to reassure Aria.
However, Aria shook her head and said, "That's what it seems on the surface, but this control is very delicate like paper-thin ice; the slightest slip up will reverse the entire situation."
While it was true that Leon could kill Arch Demons, but it was even truer vice versa.
…
"Lord Arch Demons, please lend us your strength! We are not this person's opponent at all!"
A Mid-rank Greater Demon pleaded to the two Arch Demons while Leon mercilessly cut down their numbers.
Nevertheless, Teshafir and Kaligan remained unmoved.
They stood on the spot with folded arms, turning a blind eye to the Greater Demons' pleas as they coldly observed Leon's abilities.
"This is too bizarre… I cannot figure out just how Lord Grunganir died," Teshafir uttered with a frown while wondering, "What exactly did this person use to kill him?"
"That's what we are trying to find out, but it seems Greater Demons, alone, are not enough to force out this person's full strength; he is definitely hiding his real abilities!" Kaligan stated with a solemn look.
"There's no other way then; we have to fight!" Teshafir stated before reminding Kaligan, "The Greater Demons are comprised of members from the Nine Great Clans. We will be held accountable if we let too many of them die."
"Kekeke, I didn't expect Lord Teshafir to be afraid of punishments even after becoming an Arch Demon. Did your clan leader and elders give you a traumatic ass-whooping experience in the past or something?"
Kaligan ridiculed Teshafir with grating laughter.
"Hmph!" Teshafir snorted with a dark look and replied in a low tone, "Don't be ridiculous. Even the clan leader will have to think twice about my face before spanking my ass again!"
"Even if I don't care about personal punishments, I still have to care about my clan's influence! Do you still think we are the same primitive and barbaric race of the past?!" Teshafir added angrily.
The world of demons is no less complicated than the societies of humans.
They had to take into account the thoughts and schemes of other demon clans as the skirmishes and competitions that existed between the Nine Great Clan predated back to their founding days.
If a single great demon clan draws too much animosity onto itself, it is not difficult for the other eight great demon clans to join forces and remove them from being one of the nine great demon clans.
And if they were even more ruthless, they could drive the demon clan into extinction.
"Lord Arch Demons, please help us! What are my lords still waiting for?!" another Mid-rank Greater Demon roared with hints of anger in its tone.
Leon had already slaughtered 100 of their kind at that moment, yet the Three-Headed Serpent Arch Demon and Evil Eye Arch Demon had not made a single move.
How can the Greater Demons not be furious?
"Will you only wait for the traitorous demon to wipe us all out before you make your moves, my lords?!" another Greater Demon cried.
"Watch your tone, demon!" Kaligan snarled before speaking to Teshafir, "You take the left side, and I'll take his right side.. Also, be careful."
