Chapter 115: Disaster beasts? Further plan?



To them, demons were more of a superior life-form than humans were.

While this was a twisted belief and psychotic thinking, they were offered the chance to become the servants of demons and thus turned traitors to their own race.

The humans who shunned them and isolated them did not deserve them according to them. They were loyal to their demonic masters and helped them annihilate humanity.

For a demon, infiltration into a human-populated area was quite difficult due to their differing features. However, these individuals were different; they were humans in the first place and thus served as spies when needed.

They spread havoc when ordered and eliminated when told.

In exchange for all this, they were rewarded with superior power resembling and exclusive to their demonic owners.

Those who performed very well were even promised a chance to become a demon!

No one was sure how the process worked, however.

But their faith was unshakable.

"Master, what is this item that the higher-ups are so desperate to retrieve no matter what?"

There was a momentary silence in the room before the man finally answered.

"It is an egg belonging to a special disaster beast."

"A disaster beast!?"

"WHAT!?"

"Impossible! How did they find something like that!?"

"NO, the more important question is why did they leave it with the demon ghost if he was going to the borders!?"

They stood up in shock; the news was too astonishing after all.

Disaster beasts were the rarest beasts to ever exist in this world, especially the special disaster breed.

Throughout history, these disaster beasts could be counted manually.

It was said that there were fewer than 40 such disaster beasts in the whole of history that had ever been seen or discovered.

These beasts had always been found or born in extremely harsh environments and were very hard to detect.

They were born weak, extremely weak—but their growth rate was almost unbelievable.

There was a difference between these disaster beasts and normal beasts.

While beasts were born out of an excess of espera and harsh environments, they were not hard to find. The beasts were basically a product of excess of espera and the harsh environment they grew up in slowly shaping their existence.

Humans and demons both had them and usually formed contracts with such beasts.

Beasts were low in intelligence until contracted most of the time. After forming a familiar contract, these beasts would become loyal familiars to their contractors.

The large demonic beast that the elder used to transport children for the demon hunt event was an example for such beasts. 

There were many uses for beasts, such as for labor, transport, wars and whatnot.

However, disaster beasts were a completely different breed of such beasts.

They were ancient and extremely rare. They were named "disaster" for a reason.

They could bring disaster to the world if they were properly cultivated and allowed to grow with their mystical abilities and powers.

However, the world was fair, and thus despite giving these disaster beasts unbelievable abilities, they were required to survive until adulthood. Born weak at birth, they were hunted by those around them.

It was extremely rare for a disaster beast to grow up to adulthood. They were just like any ordinary beasts until they started to actually grow.

It was then that they would start to awaken their true abilities. And because of these reasons, finding just a single one was nigh impossible, not to mention controlling them.

The only way to establish control over them was when they were born just from their eggs, at the very first instance.

It could be seen how much value this egg had for the demons.

"Then we really have no option but to do it… but it\'s still suicide. How can we even enter the Mystic Purge Clan without getting detected?"

One of them said in an agitated tone.

"Calm down," the boss of the meeting said as he looked at them, "From the surveillance so far, I believe that it is in the hands of a casual exorcist from the clan. I don\'t know how or why, but it looks like that person has not shared the news with the clan. Perhaps greed? Or ignorance."

"The tracker points to a remote and isolated corner of the clan, so I am sure of it. What we will be doing is simple. We will not be entering the clan; that is close to impossible. Rather, we will keep a watch on the clan and wait until the person leaves the clan. Then we will ambush and retrieve the storage bracelet."

"What if he leaves the storage bracelet behind before leaving?"

"I doubt the person will do that, given the precious contents inside. But if it comes to that, then we will have only one choice, which will be to infiltrate."

"What of the demonic ghost? Is he alive or not?"

"I am not sure about that. The rune only detects the location of the storage bracelet and not the owner itself. It could be possible that the ghost has already been exorcised or that he is still hiding, away from the bracelet."

"Then what should we do about him?"

"For now, nothing. Not until we are given specific orders from above. Our top priority at the moment is to get the storage bracelet back and the egg inside it at any cost."

There was again a heavy silence in the room before one of them nodded.

"Master, if you don\'t mind me asking, do you happen to know which disaster beast is in the egg?"

"No, I was not told about that."

Actually, he knew, but he did not want to tell them. He did not trust them enough even with the binding marks; the disaster beast was a really big deal.

If he told them what it actually was, they might become greedy.

Even he could not resist himself when he heard whose egg it was suspected to be from the higher-ups, but thanks to his binding mark, he remained faithful to his gods.

"I understand. I presume we get into action right away."

The others also agreed; they had no options on this matter. It was a job that had to be completed one way or another.

"Indeed. You three will keep an eye on the clan. I will give you the detector to track the location at all times. The rest of you will be on standby and continue with the preparations for the ritual as we have been doing before."

""Yes, Master!""

The cloaked men bowed and left the room, leaving the man who was their boss alone.

He fell into deep thought.

\'I can\'t shake off this ominous feeling that something bad is going to happen… No! I must obtain the storage artifact no matter what, or else I will die for sure.\'

His eyes turned cold and an overbearing pressure descended into the room.

He would personally make sure to oversee everything and retrieve that artifact no matter the cost.
