Chapter 727: Dark Prince Asher
"Why are those ants getting in my way!?!" Queen Ice Fiend Locust let loose a rageful shrill as she observed many hurdles between her and her acts of vengeance.
Twelve giant locusts with a mysterious pattern and horns on their heads kneeled around her, sensing their mother's fury. They trembled with killing intent.
It took Queen Ice Fiend Locust a few moments to calm her raging fury. As she looked towards the twelve giant kneeling locusts, a hint of frustration flashed past her eye: "They weren't lying when they said no one above unique rank can enter these conflict plains."
The next moment, a menacing glint flashed past her eye: "But so what! No matter how many ants they sent, they can't go against unstoppable tides! If they can lessen the number of my children, there is nothing more laughable than this!"
She then coldly issued her decree to the twelve giant locusts, "Royal Twelve! I'm going to start the Yin Fiend Birth to replenish the children's numbers! But while in this state, I won't be able to control the Yin Sky Island, so you all need to make sure no one finds out about this. Don't let anyone come within a 1000-mile proximity of Yin Sky Island. Let me show them the glory of the Ice Fiend Locust Race!"
In the Dark Palace, located in the Dark Kingdom Territory (Dark City), Tomas was alone in the throne hall. But he wasn't sitting on the dark throne, which represents the highest seat in the Dark Kingdom.
Instead, he stood below the throne platform and looked at the empty throne with an icy, cold gaze.
At this moment, the dark throne suddenly shimmered in dark light, and a tall figure materialized on it. He was eight feet tall and had a burly build. However, despite his humanoid figure, his face was anything but human. His head was like a bull with purple skin and long, dark bullhorns.
The coldness in Tomas's eyes suddenly replaced with respect as he bowed in front of this bull-headed hominoid. "Dark Prince Asher, it's been a while!"
The dark noble rank, the Dark Prince, of the Dark City was completely unknown to the common public. Not even the high-ranking dark nobles were privy to this knowledge unless they reached the Dark Duke Rank.
Before reaching the Dark Duke rank, every member of the Dark City thinks that this is the highest pedestal of the Dark City. Once they become Dark Duke, they will be able to call rain and storms in the Dark City.
However, only after becoming a Dark Duke would one truly know how vast the Zodiac Plains were. There was even a higher rank than them, which truly held the authority of the Dark City. Tomas's case was similar.
When he became a Dark Duke around a thousand years ago, he felt like he was at the top of the world, but only after becoming the Dark Duke did he get to meet the Dark Prince Asher, and all his ambitions suddenly vanished into smoke.
This made Tomas somewhat doubtful of Asher's strength, and he started to wonder if there was someone in the treaty that Asher was wary of, and that's why he was keeping a low
profile.
But it was still too little to give him the courage to act, and when his other attempt failed when he tried to rile up the others, he had almost given up when he was approached by a
mysterious existence!
Asher pulled an amusing smile seeing Tomas's respected appearance, "Drop the act, Dark Duke, I know respect is the least thing you have for this prince."
Tomas straightened his back as he coldly looked towards Asher and felt his blood boil. He still didn't show it and calmly replied, "Since Dark Prince has no qualms with it, then so be it. I would like to ask if you're planning on continuing to stop the Dark City from entering the Path of Legend this time as well."
Asher's smile grew a little colder as his sharp teeth gave a bloodthirsty smile. "Is that even worth asking? Of course, it'll be the same as it always had been. Just enjoy your peaceful life in the lesser galaxy. In fact, I'm saving you from a gruesome death."
Tomas's expression went dark as he took a deep breath before nodding, "I understand. But can you tell me why you're doing this? There has to be some kind of purpose for doing this so
long?"
"Oh, you finally have the guts to ask me about it?" Asher seemed more amused instead of angry as he snickered before replying, "I can give you the answer you seek, but you have to defeat me first. Now, if you don't have anything noteworthy to report, then you should be tasked with the treaty assigned to you. I don't want to lose face because of your
incompetence!"
"If that's the case..." Tomas sighed ruefully before a crazy determination flashed past his eyes
as he coldly declared, "Dark Prince Asher, I, Dark Duke Tomas Heartfelt, would like to use my privilege and challenge you for your Dark Prince title in the Death Match in Dark Battle
Arena!"
