Chapter 1294: The Era of Domination
“Damn it, they want to trick me again!”
Lin Nuo cursed, though it was still called a passageway, it wasn’t exactly a door; you couldn’t just stroll through—this kind of inter-realm passage was set in a specific area. If you had the ability, you could shift to other places in that area.
Of course, without that ability, it was just like walking through a door.
Aike had many hiding spots, but Lin Nuo cleverly chose a tricky angle and location, and Aike completely missed him.
Now that they had arrived in the Demon Realm, Lin Nuo took a deep breath of fresh air and felt refreshed.
This was where he was meant to be; who knew what junk that Sacred Realm was?
“How are you two handling it? Are you alright?”
Lin Nuo checked on the two girls nearby, wondering if they would suffer from the local conditions since they didn’t have any resistance chains.
“It feels a bit uncomfortable here… Senior Brother… but I can manage,” Su Kexin replied.
“I’m fine, Lin the Hero. If Lin the Hero can come to the Sacred Realm to find me, then I can accompany Lin Nuo through the Demon Realm.”
Though she said that, Lin Nuo noticed their faces lacked vitality, and they seemed to be holding up against the discomfort.
“If you’re really struggling, don’t force yourselves. Staying in the Sacred Realm would be better. I can’t guarantee what will happen to you in this land. At least, I think it’s hard for you to unleash your true abilities here.”
Lin Nuo cared about their well-being; many had perished when entering the Demon Realm and struggling against the unfamiliar environment. In this new world, it was hard to say if they would still be the favored protagonists.
Moreover, if possible, he didn’t want them to depend on the protagonist’s aura anymore—not because he wanted to eliminate them, but because he actually wanted to be an ordinary person now.
If he became an ordinary person, then they should be ordinary too; otherwise, the disparity would be too great, and that wouldn’t be a good thing.
But these two girls were stubborn; even if they felt unwell, they would endure. The thought of returning to the Sacred Realm meant parting from their beloved Lin Nuo, and that felt worse than death.
“No, we’re fine, Senior Brother. We’ll adapt slowly. I think this place is pretty good. If Senior Brother chooses to settle here, I will follow you.”
“Who would like to settle here? We need to return to the human world and leave this hellhole as soon as possible. Let’s go while they haven’t returned to their main camp.”
Lin Nuo said. Since they came together, there’s no way those demons could match his speed.
“To the main camp? Is it the one Lin Nuo formed by himself?”
Luo Xiaoxue was baffled. Could Lin Nuo have already set up camp here? Was he hiding something?
“We’re going to the Handa Alliance’s main camp.”
“The Handa Alliance’s main camp? Isn’t that a bit too extreme? They just subdued the Four Great Sacred Beasts; if we charge in recklessly…”
“Isn’t it better to go while they aren’t back? Why wait until they’re all back before going? Let me put it this way; before I went to the Sacred Realm, I just came from their main camp. They’ve all fled, leaving it defenseless—perfect timing to attack.”
“Hmm… so we…”
“Let’s go, stop stalling.”
Lin Nuo pulled them along. She sure talked a lot; time is of the essence, and they weren’t waiting for anyone!
However, after walking for a while, Lin Nuo sensed something was off.
“What’s wrong, Senior Brother?”
“It’s nothing, just taking a break.”
This was a problem—not too big, but not too small either.
He had lost his way.
He returned to the Demon Realm but not via the original route, making it difficult to find the way back, and the thick fog didn’t help.
If this continued, it would delay their mission.
What a damned weather!
If he picked a random path, who knew which pit he’d end up in?
As Lin Nuo pondered, the soldiers of the Demon Realm noticed them.
When those demons saw the Sacred Warriors from the Demon Realm, it was like blood awakening; generations of enmity made them wish to slice those arrogant Sacred Warriors into pieces.
“Is that a Sacred Warrior? And a demon? That demon looks like the one our leader took recently!”
“Who cares? Since a Sacred Warrior dares to enter here, they’re clearly looking down on us. Capture them, and we’ll ask for our reward!”
They, with their awakened bloodlines, charged at Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue, desperate to catch them.
With this uproar, more demons flooded in, and if this reached Aike’s ears, he’d surely lead the Four Great Demonized Sacred Beasts after them.
“Aike previously injected a lot of Mad Demon Water into these demons, so they’re acting insane. Just don’t engage with them.”
Lin Nuo gestured, and a swirling wind rolled in, sucking in a large amount of black mist, throwing the approaching demons into chaos.
Luckily, Su Kexin and Luo Xiaoxue were suppressed by the Sacred Light in the Demon Realm; otherwise, with their blinding Sacred Light, they would’ve drawn every demon in sight like a magnet—even more than a succubus!
But now that the alarm had been raised, more and more demons were coming, and it soon reached Aike’s side.
“Aike, we’ve spotted a male demon and two female Sacred Warriors about ten miles to our northwest. It’s likely Lin Nuo and those two women. They are heading northeast. Should we pursue?”
“Yes, take the demons here and go after them. Now that they’ve entered the Demon Realm, capture is only a matter of time. I’m heading back to the main hall; report back with any developments.”
“Yes!”
Next, Aike dispatched a large group of demons to chase after Lin Nuo and the others while he returned to the main hall alone.
Lin Nuo’s escape route was away from the main hall, so he wouldn’t be able to reach it, leaving Aike unworried about Lin Nuo sneaking into the main headquarters.
Alright, he would return to the main hall to let the Four Great Beasts get soaked in the hall’s Demon Qi, enhancing their strength, so they could wipe out all the remnants from the Sacred Realm.
Now that the Handa Alliance was in shambles, they still had forces large and small, and although they might submit to him, many would resist.
The Sacred Warriors from the Sacred Realm and the demons from the Demon Realm were mortal enemies, and neither would willingly be governed by the other.
That’s fine; he would slowly eradicate those forces.
Next up was the human world.
If the Sacred Realm and the Demon Realm unified, entering the human world would be a breeze—using the powers of both realms to open the dimensional rift would be a cinch.
Then, the human forces were weak, with allies like Liang Zhao leading them; every human would have to submit to him.
Soon, his era of domination would arrive!
