Chapter 286 - Chapter 286 Chapter 277 Despicable Saint Spirit (4th Update

Chapter 286: Chapter 277: Despicable Saint Spirit (4th Update! Vote for monthly tickets!!) Chapter 286: Chapter 277: Despicable Saint Spirit (4th Update! Vote for monthly tickets!!) Deris, the most rational general among the Annihilation Legion.

“General Deris, are we going to wear just these clothes?”

“You are to wear not only these clothes, but also to carry no weapons.”

Before entering the plane where the Holy Spirits resided, Deris instructed his subordinates.

“This… General! The descendants of the Devouring God will flay us alive!”

On this trip, Deris brought only four guards with him, making a total of just five people. In the past, when the Annihilation Legion descended upon any plane, the number of soldiers would be more than fifty, which qualified to be called a legion.

Now, they could at best be considered an Annihilation elite squad, or perhaps a team?

But this time, Deris’s visit to the plane of the Holy Spirits was not to wage war against them but to recruit them.

“Our battlefield is on the Black Tide Island, our enemies are the Magic Thieves, Abyss Followers, plane pirates, and the Blood Fury Cultists. How many times must I tell you? The Holy Spirits are not our enemies but our potential allies; the Annihilation Legion has been the most steadfast ally of the Devouring God.”

Deris repeated to his subordinates the words he had repeated a thousand times before.

“But they are descendants of the Devouring God.” That subordinate of the Annihilation Legion mentioned the Holy Spirits with a hint of fear in his voice.

“Before this mission, I contacted my mentor, those Holy Spirits are very kind yet greedy, and they have no particular allegiance; they are mostly affiliated with an organization called the guild.”

Deris patiently taught his four guards, who were now dressed in proper noble robes and held no weapons in their hands.

This attire was completely unlike that of soldiers of the Annihilation Legion who had conquered thousands of worlds; in fact, it resembled more what a wasteful noble who was about to attend a lavish party might wear.

They were not wasteful… They were the most excellent warriors by Deris’s side, and these cotton clothes only made them feel very uneasy.

“Your mentor? That immortal Eternal?” asked the soldier.

“Yes… My mentor has already inquired about multiple guilds among the Holy Spirits for me, and their elites have expressed great interest in the power of the Annihilation Legion and are willing to serve us in the form of accepting our ‘mission commissions.'”

Deris came this time with full confidence, a confidence stemming from his mentor, Eternal*Thorne.

According to the intelligence from Eternal Thorne, the Holy Spirits were a highly contradicting group of beings; they were crafty and merciless yet adhered to something called a ‘mission’ promise, and they would stand up to protect the weak, but when facing powerful enemies, even if those enemies represented the side of justice, they would mercilessly wield their butcher knives and kill them.

Deris believed that these capricious Holy Spirits were recruitable because they would pour everything into completing something called a ‘mission,’ especially if the reward for this mission was good enough… They would complete it in the most efficient manner.

Moreover, Deris had heard from his mentor that the power of the Annihilation Legion could increase the Holy Spirits’ limit, called a level, something the Holy Spirits absolutely could not refuse.

Thorne had told Deris much about what the Holy Spirits desired, and Deris could provide all of this and even brought along plenty.

The condition was that he… must not let the Holy Spirits feel they were hostile!

Therefore, Deris’s attire masked all emblems related to the Annihilation Legion, and he even forbade his subordinates from carrying weapons, ready to flee from this world if there was any danger.

“The Magic Thieves have already allied with the Abyss. Those Magic Thieves have even tracked down the trail of the second chaos. Our first goal here is to capture the ‘Abyss Marks’ released by those Magic Thieves; the second is that we need the power of the Devouring God to defeat them. After we descend on the Holy Spirits’ plane, we must not attack those Holy Spirits, even if they attack you! Understand? All we can do is flee!” Deris issued a final, lethal order.

The previously dissenting soldier of the Annihilation Legion broke out in a slight cold sweat but ultimately nodded his head firmly.

“Very well, first we’ll join up with my mentor, who has been mingling with the Holy Spirits for dozens of days and knows better how to engage their interest.”

Deris used the power of the Annihilation Legion to break the barrier between the two worlds, revealing the scene of a flowering square before his eyes.

He led his subordinates into the temporal fissure…

“A plane built of steel and machinery, has the Devouring God not completely dominated this plane, or has she already established her religion here, hence the many followers acting as Holy Spirits?”

Deris looked around the empty streets above the flowering square, now dressed in a very appropriate suit, from the perspective of a player…

Just by appearance, he definitely looked like a merchant who would sell hidden equipment, provided one ignored the large crimson mark and name on his head.

That was ‘Lord of Annihilation*Deris, Level: 64, Lord Level Creature, Annihilator.’

There was also a large skull icon before his name, signaling that fighting him would be extremely difficult for players.

Deris glanced at the deserted streets of the blooming square, recalling that such vibrant streets should have had many civilians lingering.

Yet, he saw not a single civilian; instead, the world was filled with the aura of the Devouring God.

“Indeed, has the Devouring God devoured the useless people of this world?” Deris murmured to himself.

“Isn’t this something our great Lord of Annihilation would do?” The soldier of annihilation looked around for the presence of the Holy Spirit, not wanting to be ambushed suddenly on the street.

“It’s all the same, these commonalities are what made our alliance possible.”

Suddenly, Deris heard the sound of clashing swords from within the blooming square; his mind stirred, and he walked towards it. As he entered, everything before him suddenly became clear.

Dozens of powerful Holy Spirits surrounded a platform, cheering for the two figures dueling on it.

One was his revered mentor Eternal*Thorne, and the other was a Holy Spirit wielding a ghostly-green lightsaber.

The attacks, imbued with the divinity of the Devouring God, wreaked havoc on the battlefield; Thorne, unable to dodge in time, had his cheek slashed, and Deris’s face was replaced with excitement at this scene.

The Holy Spirits, who could completely destroy the laws of the Eternal, controlling the divinity of the Devouring God, were the most terrifying destroyers on the star charts!

What excited Deris even more was… the battle skills of that Holy Spirit Warrior far exceeded his expectations, managing at least to injure his mentor, which was a feat worth boasting about on the star charts.

“Damn! Why is there a red-name monster here!”

“Ah? Big bro, don’t scare me, ah. The world is past eight o’clock, where are there monsters still? This guy couldn’t be a red-name, right? There’s been frequent PK’ing in the world recently.”

“This is a big god scene, who dares PK here?”

“This really is a red-name monster! There’s a skull beside him! It’s still one of those monsters that we aren’t strong enough to beat!”

The arrival of Deris gradually drew the attention of players who were initially spectating the fight between Thorne and Caramel; in an instant, the spectators around the platform shifted their focus entirely to Deris and the group of guards behind him.

The three soldiers of the annihilation legion were already in stance ready to fight the Holy Spirits, but Deris raised his hand to signal them not to act recklessly.

“Great Holy Spirits, I am Deris Kenesi… a merchant from afar.” He began to narrate an identity he and his mentor had fabricated, which was more advantageous for employing these Holy Spirits.

“What merchant, with such a big prefix of the annihilation legion, did the system bug out?”

“What bug with a red-name monster! Just chop it down and it’s done.”

“Wait! Let him finish speaking before chopping him down.”

The duel at Blooming Plaza reignited with excitement after Juan Canyun’s fourth consecutive victory had dominated the scene, attracting high-level players from the top eight guilds to challenge Thorne.

These high-level players still had quite a bit of self-control.

“I hope to secure your protection, and of course, the compensation will not disappoint you.” After briefly introducing his background, Deris pulled out a pile from his bag… shimmering with orange light from the player’s perspective, “These are rare treasures from various planes, all of which will be given to you as payment if you great Holy Spirits accept my employment.”

Players beside Blooming Plaza looked at each other… everyone was wondering if this was some hidden task or hidden reward.

At that moment, a woman dressed in a nun’s robe, Caramel, stepped past all the players to stand before Deris.

“O traveler lost from afar, you have forgotten one thing.” Caramel said with a voice filled with Holy aura.

“If we kill you, these things will be ours just the same!”
