Chapter 31: Raiding the Treasury!
Inside the Gurenba Arena, chaos reigned.
Fire blazed everywhere, accompanied by sounds of various explosions. The d*ath of Demon Lord Miamid – Coin of Disaster happened in an instant, a shocking change that left many unable to accept it for a while. In the arena below, the goblin demon sorcerer thought it had the victory in its grasp, but due to this series of unexpected events, it was momentarily stunned, causing its reaction to lag slightly. After all, anyone would be taken aback if they suddenly saw their boss drop dead.
But in that brief moment, the tide of battle was completely turned by Soren. By the time the goblin demon sorcerer gathered its wits, the two iron golems had already been dismantled by him.
In an instant, facing the diving Soren from above, the goblin demon sorcerer prepared to cast a short-range teleport spell to escape, targeting the chaotic demon audience area at the back. After all, with the demon lord dead, the rules of the Gurenba Arena were a joke. It planned to teleport behind the demons in the audience to confuse Soren’s line of sight and then use a long-range teleport spell to flee from the battle.
A clever tactical idea!
If nothing went wrong, this goblin demon sorcerer should have been able to escape.
However, the unexpected did happen. The goblin demon sorcerer suddenly felt a powerful force locking down the space around its body, and its short-range teleport spell suddenly failed.
Immediately afterward.
The goblin demon sorcerer felt its vision blur, and in a cloud-like daze, it saw a corpse lying motionless.
It was dead.
In its final moment of d*ath, only one sentence could express its current feelings.
—”You cheated!!!”
………………
Soren’s main body appeared for just a moment, and after killing the goblin demon lord, he instantly activated the ‘Hide from Sight’ ability and vanished from everyone’s view, taking only what he sought. No one saw his true appearance because the Construct Girl’s well-timed bombardment completely covered everything. By the time people reacted, all they could see was the goblin demon lord’s corpse. The true form of the deity could not be known to demons, for it would attract unnecessary trouble when it reached the ears of other powerful demon lords.
The goblin demon lord Miamid – Coin of Disaster only ruled a small area.
If it were a demon lord controlling an entire plane, or even a half-plane-sized territory, Soren’s main body would have no chance in combat!
Target eliminated.
In an instant, Soren took the spoils of battle and began to rush toward the back of the Gurenba Arena.
The goblin demon lord must have its own treasury. With the d*ath of the demon lord, chaos would inevitably ensue; he had to take as much loot as possible before the chaos broke out.
As for the demon avatar left behind, it naturally needed to accumulate wealth to lay the groundwork for the upcoming territorial disputes.
In such a situation.
The role of the demon avatar became minimal, and Soren quickly left after killing the goblin demon sorcerer. But the deity’s main body moved at high speed, avoiding all guards and reaching the vicinity of the Gurenba Arena’s treasury.
The advantage of a Wanderer was so apparent!
Faced with the incredibly complicated magical locks of the treasury, Soren had no intention of trying to unlock them; he directly infused his weapon with divine power to force it open. Then, disregarding whatever was inside, he withstood a ‘Dissolution Spell,’ a ‘Finger of d*ath,’ and a ‘Malicious Transformation Spell’ with his divine power defense, along with various other scattered protective spells. Ultimately, he stuffed all the spoils within his field of vision into his dimension created by divine power.
That’s the benefit of being a deity.
Soren emptied the entire treasury in one breath. He hadn’t even had time to count how much loot there was, but it should be over a hundred cubic meters.
Various gold and jewels, various weapons and equipment, and various rare materials.
The wealth accumulated by the goblin demon lord over a hundred years was completely taken by Soren, even the stockpiled weapons beside it were stuffed into the dimensional space.
All taken away!
Soren could foresee one thing: with the d*ath of the demon lord, Miamid – Coin of Disaster’s subordinates would undoubtedly divide its past wealth and territory. Although the demon avatar had gained fame and power now, it would still need to take its time to contend for all of it. To maximize benefits, how much Soren could take away would determine how much foundation he could leave for the demon avatar.
A terrifying dragon pressure descended.
Soren looked up at the sky and, in an instant, once again vanished into the shadows, disappearing from the treasury.
Then.
An angry dragon roar echoed outside the treasury. At the moment of Demon Lord Miamid – Coin of Disaster’s d*ath, the Abyss Dragon that had signed a contract with it finally sensed everything. As a chaotic evil Abyss Dragon, its first action upon awakening was not to seek revenge on its allies but to come outside its ally’s treasury instead. Unfortunately, it was one step too late; by the time this Abyss Dragon arrived, the entire treasury was already empty.
Now was not the time to deal with the Abyss Dragon.
This dragon, which had been corrupted by the Bottomless Abyss, posed a challenge level exceeding 25, and even demon lords felt deep apprehension. This was its home turf, and Soren would find it hard to k*ll such a powerful Abyss Dragon in one strike, so he planned to retreat for now.
The Abyss Dragon is a product of chaotic evil!
Although the order of the Gurenba Arena had collapsed, the contract between this Abyss Dragon and the goblin demon was rendered void, leading to a future where many powerful demons would vie for territory. Perhaps he could still find a way to leverage it. After all, what mattered most to the Abyss Dragon was still treasure; if talks fell through, it could always advance its demon avatar to become a Balroth Fire Demon and slay it, justifying a power boost to gain a substantial amount of wealth.
Soren left the Gurenba Arena.
He could not stay in the Bottomless Abyss too long, as it would easily attract the attention of other powerful demon lords. The commotion caused by the deity’s avatar appearing in the Bottomless Abyss would also be significant.
But!
Before leaving, he needed to leave something behind for the demon avatar, such as a legendary beheading sword crafted personally by a deity, along with enough resources for the demon avatar to occupy a territory.
Finally.
Soren tried to search for the whereabouts of that Construct Girl, but by this time, she had long since disappeared.
The Gurenba Arena was ablaze.
The d*ath of the demon lord plunged the goblin guards into chaos. The oppressed demons, driven by their chaotic nature, launched various frenzied attacks, and under the impetus of rage and ambition, the goblins were quickly overwhelmed by the demons.
It was time for a new master here!
Almost every mid to high-level demon had this thought in mind.
