Devil’s Son-in-Law

Chapter 893: Critical Moment

Chen Rui didn’t know that his original ‘team’ had been destroyed, and he was approaching the gathering place of the Satan Team with Leslie.

“This area doesn’t seem to have any wandering spirits?”

“Raikkonen and Rostree should be in charge of this place. It is likely that the wandering spirits have been temporarily eliminated by them.”

According to Leslie, Raikkonen was at the early stage of the Kingdom level while Rostree was a Demon Overlord. Satan Team’s task assignment was that the stronger the strength, the farther the scope of responsibility, and the more law fragments that needed to be paid. Of course, as long as the specified number was completed within the specified time, the excess part would be theirs.

This distribution plan was much better than the Sariel Team, but it was impossible to be united in this kind of combination no matter what. The powerful ones controlled and enslaved the weak ones. The team members were also scheming against each other.

“I already sense someone is coming.” Chen Rui looked at the sky ahead. These days, under the protection of Leslie, he had completely digested the soul power obtained by the Sword of Fallen Angel after massacring the wandering spirits. He felt that his soul power had more than doubled, so the sensing power of the spirit power had been greatly enhanced, exceeding the ordinary peak stage of the Kingdom level, which was far above Leslie.

Soon, Leslie also sensed someone, “2 people. This power breath should be Raikkonen and Rostree. Master, do you want to kill these 2 people?”

“Kill?” Chen Rui nodded. Seeing that the Bloody Ring’s light was flourishing, he had an idea, “Wait, I suddenly thought of a good way to go to the gathering place with you.”

Half an hour later, the figures of Leslie and ‘Raikkonen’ appeared in the air, and they both flew toward the gathering place.

2 days later, the 2 arrived at a floating island.

Chen Rui, who was disguised as Raikkonen, finally met the ‘teammates’ of Team Satan. There were 5 other people besides Leslie. 2 Demi-God levels, 2 Kingdom levels, and 1 Demon Overlord level.

The Demi-God level was a man and a woman, Enquit, great demon, peak stage of the Demi-God; Vesilna, Beelzebub Royal Family, intermediate stage of the Demi-God. Liszt and Spree were at the Kingdom level. The Demon Overlord was called Wal. Plus Chen Rui and Leslie, there were 7 people in total.

Chen Rui’s eyes ‘inadvertently’ swept across the crystal coffin on the ground. The crystal coffin was made of frosted glass, and a woman was lying quietly in the middle. She seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. No doubt it was Tiffany whom he remembered.

In order to avoid suspicion, Chen Rui didn’t look at it much. After all, Enquit and Vesilna were both Demi-God powerhouses, especially since Enquit had reached the peak stage of the Demi-God. He couldn’t fight them by force.

Enquit’s first sentence was to ask Chen Rui, “Raikkonen, why did you come back with Leslie? Where’s Rostree?”

Chen Rui looked downcast, “We were besieged by a large group of wandering spirits. Rostree died, but luckily we met Leslie who returned…”

“Leslie, you saved him?” Vesilna glanced at Leslie.

The Beelzebub Royal Family had a special spirit power sensing for [Puppetry]. When Chen Rui was in the Crystal Valley, Azgalor saw through the puppet Fatilu created with the God-Eating Mask. However, the puppet effect of the God-Eating Mask was related to his own strength. When Chen Rui puppeted Leslie, he was in the state of [Scorching Dragon Possession], which was very close to Demi-God. Not only that. In order to prevent being seen through, he also used the Wrath King Armor power to bestow the ‘Soul Armor’ to Leslie. The Wrath King Armor’s ‘Soul Armor’ had half the defense of the original body. The most important thing was that it was immune to the erosion of spirit power, so under this situation, Vesilna’s spirit power would not be seen through Leslie.

Leslie smiled, nodded, and didn’t say much. Chen Rui cooperated with a bitter expression as he took out 5 law fragments, and handed them over to Enquit, “Sir Enquit, this is the share that Rostree and I hand over.

Vesilna didn’t look at Leslie again. She didn’t notice anything wrong apparently. She frowned, “Why haven’t Voss and Macy come back?”

“Wait a little, it’s not the last time yet.” Enquit said with murderous intent, “No matter what the reason is, as long as they don’t return within the specified time, they will be treated as leaving the team and killed!”

Except for Vesilna, the rest of the people bowed their heads under the pressure of Enquit’s terrifying murderous intent. Chen Rui thought: The Satan Team no doubt are not kind people too, but the advantage of the Satan Team is that they have ‘key’ Tiffany in hand, so they are not afraid that the team members will flee because only Tiffany can open the ‘door’. If one leaves the team, staying in this world will definitely result in death.

Nearly another day passed, and the final gathering deadline had come. Enquit didn’t say more, but from the fierce gaze, it could be seen that even if those 2 returned, they would definitely be at a dead end.

“We still need 5 pieces of law fragments. Except for Vesilna and I, each of you will pay another piece to make up the number to open the space door.”

Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Generally speaking, in addition to the law fragment handed in, there would be more or less kept for themselves. Naturally, no one was willing when Enquit asked them to take out the private goods they desperately obtained.

“Sir Enquit!” Chen Rui was the first to speak, “If it was 2 days ago, I would definitely take it out without hesitation, but now… I really don’t have it! If sir give me time, I can immediately go hunt the wandering spirits!”

With that said, Chen Rui glanced at Leslie angrily, and everyone suddenly understood that the reason why Leslie saved ‘Raikkonen’ was because she forced ‘Raikkonen’ to hand over all the law fragments. Perhaps even Rostree was probably killed by Leslie.

This time Enquit and Vesilna’s last suspicion was gone, but Leslie gave Chen Rui a vicious stare.

Enquit didn’t care about the grievances between ‘Raikkonen’ and Leslie. The struggle between the team members was beneficial to his control. As for the ant Rostree, he did not even care whether he was dead or alive.

“Leslie, hand over Raikkonen’s share as well, and the rest 1 each.” Enquit spoke up, “Raikkonen, you will be the first to enter the door later.”

Although everyone was reluctant, there was no room for them to resist because Enquit pulled Vesilna to his side, so they had to take out their fragments obediently.

There were 24 pieces in total. Enquit began to draw a hexagram array on the ground, then he took out the purple stone slabs prepared in advance and arranged them in the corresponding positions. Chen Rui could see clearly that the ancient runes were engraved on those stone slabs.

These runes exuded a massive power breath, and the content was profound and mysterious. With Chen Rui’s current level, he could only understand the general meaning. This was still under the premise of getting Sariel’s guidance on the runes. Chen Rui guessed that these rune stone slabs were likely from Satan.

The center of the hexagram was Tiffany’s crystal coffin. Chen Rui and others placed each of the ancient runes’ stone slabs under the command of Enquit, then they placed the 24 fragments into the corresponding runes. The entire hexagram array began to emit a strange light, and the law fragments in the array gradually liquefied, glowing with the essence of crystal light. The liquid seeped into the crevices and inscriptions of the hexagram, vaguely forming an enormous symbol.

The liquefied crystal became gas again, and the star-like light enveloped the crystal coffin in the center. Chen Rui could see that although it had changed into a gas form, the law power had been further purified by the hexagram, reaching an extremely terrifying purity.

The crystal coffin stood up slowly, constantly absorbing this purified law power. The crystal coffin and the hexagram array were fading at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was as if the ‘pupa’ inside was absorbing and continuing to strengthen, and it was about to break out of the cocoon.

In half an hour, the crystal coffin had completely ’melted’, revealing the female body inside. The hexagram array and the stone slabs also turned into a cloud of purple energy. Tiffany’s light blue hair was moving while her body was floating. There was no veil on her face, revealing a delicate and beautiful face. Her closed eyes slowly opened.

Her pupils were black and white, which at first glance looked similar to the [Heart of Light and Dark] of the Lucifer Royal Family. However, that kind of breath was not only a light element or dark element power, but a breath that contained destruction and creation that seemed to be fused together. The strength of this breath had surpassed her original peak stage of the Demon Overlord level and leaped to the Kingdom level, and it was still rising.

Tiffany stretched out her hand and drew the ancient runes in the air. After each rune containing the power of light and darkness appeared, they gradually disappeared. It should be a long, difficult and esoteric chant.

Chen Rui had already been able to discern the meaning of these profound runes, but he just felt an indescribable ancient breath coming toward his face, and the feeling of looking up involuntarily poured out of his mind. Not only him but also everyone else.

Tiffany’s state at the moment was very strange. She seemed to have lost her consciousness. She was only driven by the power of the hexagram, like a marionette, to complete this chant.

That ancient and vicissitudes breath was becoming more and more intense. It was certain that once this chant was completed, the ‘door’ to the final destination, Chaos Realm, would be opened.

At this moment, Enquit’s ears moved as he suddenly sensed something. He turned his head to look at the sky in the distance and frowned. Then, Vesilna also noticed something abnormal. Chen Rui was the third one to sense it, and he clenched his fists lightly.

Wailing.

This was the wailing of the wandering spirits. There were 2 Demi-Gods, Enquit and Vesilna. Even if the group of the wandering spirits came over, there was nothing to be afraid of. However, this was definitely not the ordinary group of the wandering spirits.

Judging from the direction in which the sound spread, it was the island where everyone was!

With Chen Rui’s experience of hunting the wandering spirits, the scale and strength of this wail were at least tens of thousands of the wandering spirits! A group of wandering spirits of this size had at least 4-5 wandering spirits at the Demi-God level!

As the voice became clearer, the facial expressions of Enquit and Vesilna changed at the same time while Chen Rui’s eyes were full of astonishment. The number of the wandering spirits is probably much more than I estimated just now!

There are not 4-5 , but 20 wandering spirits of the Demi-God level!

“Vesilna!” A cold voice sounded in the distance. This voice sounded very familiar to Chen Rui. It was the ‘leader’ Keressa of the Sariel Team.

“I got to know from your 2 teammates about your gathering point.” Keressa’s voice was getting closer, “A special gift for you! Do you like it? Old friend!”

“Keressa! You’re not dead!” This time it was Vesilna’s turn to gnash her teeth. Not only was this enemy not dead, but she also launched a terrifying counterattack at this critical moment!

It turned out that the reason why Voss and Macy couldn’t come back was that they encountered Keressa who escaped from the last trap. They were forced by Keressa to reveal the gathering place, and their ending could be imagined.

Keressa knew that there were two Demi-Gods here. 1 was even at the peak stage of the Demi-God, which she couldn’t deal with, so she had attracted a large number of powerful wandering spirits to come, retaliating with the same way to avenge the vengeance just now.

“You guys protect Ms. Tiffany!” Enquit rose into the air while shouting loudly, “Vesilna, let’s divert the wandering spirits! Be sure to hold on until the door is opened!”

It was not that Enquit sacrificed himself to save others, but because the rest of these people were just powerhouses at the Kingdom level. They were unable to fight against Keressa and divert the wandering spirits away at all. Since it was the most critical moment now, in case of accidents and something happened to Tiffany, then he and the entire Satan Team would not be able to survive.

Vesilna also understood this. With a shrill sound, she turned into a lightning bolt and followed Enquit.
