Necromancer Of The Shadows C.987 Your Puny Emperor Is Dead (Part 2)

Including Baphomet himself, there were a total of five Rank Six Core Evolvers in the Gehenna Empire.

Among these five, Baphomet was the only peak Rank Six Core Evolver, while one was mid-level and the other three were beginner-level Rank Six Core Evolvers.

Currently, the entire Gehenna Empire was in a state of emergency because of the mid-level Rank Six Light Dragon that was rapidly moving towards the capital of the Empire.

The news of the destruction of the Hellgate Fortress had already spread throughout the Gehenna Empire, and other major forces, who were paying close attention to the Light Dragon that came out of the Tomb of the Ancient also knew about the destruction of the Hellgate Fortress.

The capital of the Gehenna Empire, where Baphomet lived was naturally guarded by him. However, since he was currently trapped in the Tomb, it was impossible for him to stop the Light Dragon, which was about to reach the capital of his empire.

Moreover, the other four Rank Six Core Evolvers of the Gehenna Empire had their own tasks and were not in the capital.

After receiving the news that a mid-level Rank Six Dragon was heading towards the capital and that Baphomet was not there, the beginner-level Rank Six demon, who was stationed outside of the Shadow Realm and was closest to the demon empire immediately decided to head back.

While the beginner-level Rank Six demon was coming back, the Light Dragon finally reached the capital of the demon empire and...

ROAR! 𝚏r𝗲ewe𝚋𝐧𝚘vel.𝚌𝚘m

It roared loudly, announcing its presence to all the demons in the capital.

The demons of the capital had naturally received the news about the Light Dragon when it destroyed the Hellgate Fortress, so when the dragon arrived at the capital, they were prepared for it.

The defence formation of the capital, which was more powerful than the Hellgate Fortress was already activated.

The entire capital was covered by the defence barrier, and the high-level attacking cannons and other security weapons were all aimed at the dragon.

When the Rank Six Light Dragon arrived right outside the capital, the demons didn't immediately attack. Instead, the demon in charge of the capital's security flew towards the dragon.

"You filthy beast, why are you attacking our empire? Do you know—"

ROAR!

Before the peak Rank Five Demon who approached the dragon could finish speaking, the Light Dragon roared loudly and used the innate skill of the dragon race, Dragon's Prestige.

The moment the Light Dragon used its skill, a pressure that forced all the demons to kneel before it erupted from its body, and most of the demons dropped to the ground.

However, the pressure that emanated from the dragon's body didn't last long because, as soon as the pressure invaded the barrier that covered the capital, the defensive runes engraved on it lit up, and the pressure the demons were feeling disappeared.

The peak Rank Five Demon who had gone to talk to the Light Dragon sighed in relief when he saw this and was glad that he did not leave the formation while talking to the dragon; otherwise, he might have already been killed by the Light Dragon.

"Why are you attacking our Empire? The relationship between the Dragon Islands and the Gehenna Empire has always been good. Do you want to start a war between our forces?" The demon spoke in a cold voice, signalling the other demons to prepare the attacking cannon and launch an attack in case the dragon did anything suspicious.

The eyes of the Light Dragon flashed with disdain when it heard the Rank Five demon and its majestic voice rang out throughout the demon capital.

"The puny demon emperor of yours is already dead. He was killed by our god, the Void Dragon Eldrakar. Do you think without your emperor you can stop dragons from taking over your empire? If you all want to live, then surrender to the Dragon Islands, or you will all perish just like your demon emperor."

Forget about the Rank Five demon and the residents of the demon empire's capital; even the people of other factions who were paying close attention to the demon empire after receiving the news about the Light Dragon were shocked when they heard the dragon's words.

"You—" The face of the peak Rank Five demon turned red with anger upon hearing the Light Dragon.

The demons of the Gehenna Empire held great respect for Baphomet as he was the strongest demon. So, when the Rank Five demon heard what the dragon said, it was so angry that it wanted to tear the dragon to pieces.

But the Rank Five demon knew it didn't have enough strength to kill the dragon, so he took a deep breath and said in a cold voice.

"Do you think we are stupid? Our Emperor is the strongest person in this world. There is no way he can die."

The Light Dragon sneered loudly upon hearing the demon and said in a voice full of disdain.

"You must have the soul lamp of your puny emperor. Why don't you go and check if it is still intact or not?"

Hearing the dragon's disdainful voice, the Rank Five demon furrowed his eyebrows.

He naturally didn't believe that Baphomet was dead, but after hearing the confident tone of the dragon, he started to get a bad feeling.

Without altering his expression, the demon made some small gestures with his hand. When the vice commander of the capital's security noticed these gestures, he immediately understood what the peak Rank Five demon wanted and left in a hurry.

Normally, the rank five demon wouldn't even consider the possibility that Baphomet was dead, but before leaving, Baphomet had informed the high-level demons that he was going with Eldrakar to take care of some matters. So, after hearing the dragon say that it was Eldrakar who killed Baphomet, the demon had no choice but to take it seriously.

The vice commander of the security was also a Rank Five demon, so within seconds, the demon who was arguing with the dragon heard his voice... And when he heard what the vice commander said, his eyes widened in shock and his blood turned cold.

"The soul... The soul lamp of the emperor is broken."
