Child of Destiny

Chapter 2213: Echoes of the Ocean Legend (Part 8): Each of their Schemes

...…

Sensing the commotion in the distance, Shin immediately realized that something must have happened to the four commander-level sweepers that he had completely ignored until now.

”That must be the twin that Alucard had talked about,” he mumbled while forcing the three ice clones in retreat.

He then turned to Leviathan and said. ”It seems like your people have been caught as well.”

”Hmph!” Leviathan ignored those words before looking at the entire battlefield through his special eyes.

From his perspective, the ground within a two to three-hundred radius was currently under a special formation, which had been setting up in secret since earlier.

This was his final card, which he prepared for similar situations.

All he needed right now was a good opportunity to release the spell. He also had to make sure that he would not just accidentally kill Shin but seal him instead.

For someone of this caliber, it was much better to capture them rather than kill them since it would serve their organization well.

It would also damage the foundation of the captured player greatly or even force them to delete their account altogether, making them start over again from the very beginning.

It was similar to the fate of the demonic players that had been captured by the players affiliated with the Righteous Churches.

The only difference was the purpose of capturing the opposing party.

Players from the Righteous Churches captured the demonic players in exchange for merits, which they could use to strengthen themselves. As for what would happen to those demonic players, no one cared since it would be handled by the churches anyway.

The higher the rank of the said demonic player, the more merit points they could earn.

The Demonic Players could also earn themselves merits if they could counter-capture a player affiliated with the Righteous Churches. The higher their ranking with the said church, the more merit they could earn correspondingly.

However, only regular demonic players would do something as useless as that. For high-ranking individuals within the Demonic Churches, they could do much more.

One of them was to create a powerful demon slave that could aid them in battle or even transform and evolve the True Demon Creatures that they had formed a contract with, elevating their strength and level.

The stronger the player and the more righteous merits they had, the stronger the demon slayer would be produced or the more potent the evolution of the True Demon Creatures would become.

These effects would be even more effective and powerful if the said individual who had been captured was someone with their name engraved in the Hall of Legends and Hall of Fame.

This was also similar to some of the methods of the Corrupted Cult, which was something that Immortal, the Lich King, was infamous for.

However, the difference between the two was the limited number of demon slaves that the Demonic Players could produce and Immortalʼs seemingly endless creation of an undead army, so long as his army and he took down their target.

…

”I heard that Lucifer has used a Godlike Player from the Top 50 of the Hall of Fame as a sacrifice to further strengthen the ritual that Beelzebub is undergoing and has created a powerful demon slave that will not lose to any of the god-level players that can be ranked at the top 30 or even a few in the top 20,” mumbled Leviathan along with a deep frown.

”Tsk! Beelzebub has already become the vessel of the ʼGlutton Demon King of the Fliesʼ and is currently undergoing a consolidation of power within the Bug Realm,” he could not help but feel envious of Beelzebub whenever he thought about this.

This was also the reason why he wanted to seize this rumored portal that Felix and Felicia had found.

He chose to stay on this world and not join the others from the Pandemonium Descendants in their great migration to the Hell Realms because he wanted to open a Hell Realm that belonged to him, just like how Beelzebub was about to become a monarch of the Bug Realm.

Clenching his fist, Leviathan continued to wait for his opportunity. If he were successful and captured Shin, then he would gain an extremely powerful demon slave that would far surpass any other, while also getting rid of one of the greatest variables that their organization had.
