Nightmare’s Call

Amidst the melodious harp tune, a bard in a butterfly-like magnificent robe was gently playing a Fairy Kingdom-style psalm.

The gender of the gentle voice was difficult to distinguish as the neutral and soft tone made all of the commanders present nod in unison.

The psalm was created by the old nobility of the Fairy Kingdom. The songs were beautiful, the tune melodious, the words eloquent yet philosophical.

“But, isn’t it a little too embarrassing to sing songs of me right in my face?”

Lin Sheng sat on the Darkspirit Throne, and looked at the Centaur Lord on his side, and the Fairy King on his right.

The Centaur Lord was shaking his head, seemingly entranced by the song.

The Fairy King instead just closed her eyes and enjoyed the wine, her expression remained unchanged. In any case, her single eye covered almost her entire face, and one could not see any expression regardless.

Djall Demonhand was ranked lower in this hall that is placed by strength. While this made the Demonhand tribe uneasy, but in reality, he was just too weak.

The twin giant kings, who had only just surrendered, sat at the end of the table with blank faces as they ate and drank without a word.

*Tap… Tap… Tap…*

A series of heavy footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.

“The Sin Dragon Matriarch of the Dragon’s Barrow has arrived!”

The voice of the herald only then rang out.

“The Sin Dragon Matriarch?” Many of the commanders were slightly startled.

They had learned of the existence of the Dragon’s Barrow from Lin Sheng and Tenko Kasumi, but they had no idea of the exact details and had never seen its powerful members.

And this was the time for them to meet their foreign new member.

As the footsteps closed in, a voluptuous blonde beauty in a dark black dress approached the gate and walked into the hall with a calm smile.

Amidst the melodious singing, the Sin Dragon Matriarch stood in the middle on the hall and bowed with a slightly bent knee to Lin Sheng.

“Oh great Darkspirit King, your servant, the Sin Dragon Matriarch is here with the many Dragon Souls of the Dragon’s Barrow is here to serve you.”

The Sin Dragon Matriarch’s voice slightly husky, with subtle softness and allure to it, it was not difficult to imagine what sort of beauty she when she was alive.

If not for the ghastly pallor of the dead on her face, almost every single one of the commanders present, someone like the Centaur Lord would definitely pursue her.

“I want to take her as my wife!” The Centaur Lord’s eyes straightened at the first sight of the Sin Dragon Matriarch.

He could not control the spittle foaming in his throat as his blood flowed as if it was boiling.

His eyes quickly turned bloodshot, revealing a trace of indescribable desire and expectation.

“Sure.” Lin Sheng could not help but smile. “If you don’t mind the Sin Dragon Matriarch being ten times your size, I’m pretty sure she would be glad to accept your pursuit. That’s on the premise that you are not crushed to death on the first bedding.”

“Ugh…” The Centaur Lord felt like being poured with a bucket of cold water as the roiling blood in his eyes faded away, before scratching his head embarrassedly.

He was a top elite who can control his blood and was stronger than most Palatinates. So every time he sees someone, blood will shoot up his head, as he bore the look of fighting impulsively at any time.

Without a doubt, that was faked, or he actually wanted to do it.

He was clearly a powerful Centaur Lord, with a powerful constitution, yet the Centaur Lord was the least impulsive of all.

So, he quickly broke out of the state of fascination and returned to normal.

“Forget about it, I’ll leave her to the strongest ones like Your Highness to enjoy.”

“You need to learn humility when facing the strong!” She never thought she would be violated by such uncouth language, being taken no more than an object.

The Sin Dragon Matriarch, standing below the hall as a stern look flashed in her eyes as a black force field condensed into a line and shot towards the Centaur Lord.

*Bamm!!*

The Centaur Lord reacted and stomped on the black force field line with one of his hooves.

“Impudence! His Highness is here, and you still dared to commit the breach of peace here!? Or are you making light of His Highness! Is the Dragon’s Barrow planning a revolt now? HUH?” He quickly rose and yelled.

The Sin Dragon Matriarch’s lips opened slightly, and she was completely astounded by the Centaur Lord’s absolute lack of shame.

She had never expected that such a fearsome warrior would be that good at tarnishing someone as he painted her with all sorts of tags with surprising alacrity.

“I am just responding to your disrespect for those who are stronger. As the weaker one, you must learn humility!” The Sin Dragon Matriarch was no push-over either, having lived for thousands of years.

“If not for His Highness’ presence here, you would be dead as a fertilizer in the Dragon’s Barrow!” Her voice was chilly, as the stench of death exuded out of it.

“Hehehe, you could try.” The Centaur Lord was not afraid.

“Impudent fool!” The Sin Dragon Matriarch was provoked into a rage and wanted to strike.

“Silence!”

Tenko Kasumi, seating by a corner growled in irritation.

“I can’t even hear the damn music anymore! If you wanna fight, go outside, and don’t disturb me listening to the music!”

She said again, and both the Sin Dragon Matriarch and the Centaur Lord piped down and did not say anything else.

Both of them knew how strong Kasumi was.

Of all present, aside from His Highness the Darkspirit King, none of them were a match for Tenko Kasumi.

“Alright. Have a seat, Sin Dragon Matriarch.” Lin Sheng said with impeccable timing.

“Musicians, stand down.” He looked at the fairy musicians by the side of the stone pillar to the right.

The court musician immediately motioned for the bard to stop, before quickly bringing him away from the hall.

Soon, the fairy attendants all fluttered their wings as the hall lit up with tiny green fluorescence light as they placed a lot of cold dishes like fruits and wine on the low table before the various commanders.

The stone gate of the main hall slowly closed under the drive of the magic circle.

Lin Sheng swept his gaze on all of the elites present.

On the left were Tenko Kasumi, the Fairy King, and the Giant King brothers.

On the right was the Centaur Lord, the Sin Dragon Matriarch, and Djall Demonhand.

In a blink of an eye, he had already taken five Palatinate-level beings into his ranks.

The Darkspirit Palace had grown into a giant beast in an unbelievable speed.

The commanders were all Palatinates, while below then were Darkspirit Marshalls.

There were few powerful elites at this level among the Fairy King and the Centaur Lord’s men as well.

While the Dragon Souls from the Dragon’s Barrow all had Palatinate-level combat prowess, they had not completely submitted to Lin Sheng, but only obeyed the Sin Dragon Matriarch.

The Darkspirit Marshalls were beneath the Palatinates and belonged to the apex of Six Wings, and collectively, the Darkspirit could muster at least two digits worth.

The third was the Darkspirit Generals. There were many elites at this level, and even the Darkspirit Cavern itself had hundreds, and Lin Sheng’s earlier experiments had also created a good number of such monsters.

In addition, there were hundreds from the Fairy Kingdom and the Centaur Lord as well.

These elites were equivalent to a Three-winged Darksider.

As for the lower level Darkspirits, they were tens of thousands in number.

The Darkspirit Palace could now go toe to toe with the Three Great Hidden Realms back in reality.

But this was not enough.

Lin Sheng wanted more than that.

“I’m glad that all of you have come here on time.”

Lin Sheng held his hands out and said.

“This is the Darkspirit Palace, the supreme place of the Darkspirit Realm, and it will also be the foundation of my unification of all Darkspirits in the future.”

His voice rang far out and rolled like thunder outside the palace. Not only all of the commanders in the hall could hear it, a few Darkspirit Generals outside could hear it as well.

“I have summoned all of you here today, is to bestow upon you a path of greater power,” Lin Sheng said.
