Zero sighed at the immense effort made to save his little life, and then watched as Wen Yu pushed three already Level 5 Ancient Demons over, signaling that Zero could leave.
Only then did Zero finally breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at the calm and cold faces of the three brand new Soul Creations, gave Wen Yu a slight bow, and then turned to walk toward the entrance opened by the Mountain Kui.
Behind him, Number 1, Number 2, and Number 3 followed closely.
...
"Number 1, Number 2, Number 3?"
Walking within the Mountain Kui, Zero could sense the life aura behind him, identical to a normal Level 5 Ancient Demon, and asked in an inquisitive tone.
"Present."
Number 1's calm voice sounded.
"Hmm..."
Zero walked and pondered before saying, "From now on, you are my Praetorian Guard. By rule, you should call me Master."
"Understood, Master."
The three Ancient Demons responded meticulously, their tone unusually earnest.
