Chapter 904: The Arrogant Demon Venerable! Dark Night Demon Emperor's Warning!
At that moment—
Just as Red Phoenix Demon Venerable was about to devour all the Harpies in one gulp—
Buzz!!
Outside the palace hall—
A shadowy figure emerged, its face obscured.
This figure was shrouded in dense demonic aura, exuding a terrifyingly savage and evil presence.
It was none other than one of Red Phoenix Demon Venerable's closest aides—Dark Night Demon Emperor.
Dark Night's sudden appearance caused Red Phoenix to pause, halting his massive beak.
His demonic eyes immediately turned to Dark Night.
This was his trusted subordinate, level 188—only two levels away from qualifying as a Demon Venerable.
The Ten Thousand Demons race in the lower world could not undergo class changes like humans and other races.
However, they had their own skills and talents to learn and awaken.
As they leveled up, they would automatically awaken stronger skills and demon race passives.
Don't be fooled by Dark Night being level 188—two levels short of 190, the threshold for Demon Venerables.
The power gap was still immense.
Now—
Seeing Dark Night enter the palace without announcement, Red Phoenix didn't scold him as usual.
He knew his aide wouldn't interrupt his meal unless it was urgent.
"What happened?" Red Phoenix's voice was as harsh and grating as a crow's.
The shadowy figure of Dark Night responded solemnly, "Lord Red Phoenix Demon Venerable, an emergency has occurred. Within billions of kilometers around Lemoris Fortress—all camps, towers, and fortresses were wiped out overnight."
"Now all those sites have been claimed."
"Because the detection eyes were forcibly destroyed, no intel was able to reach us in time."
"I've dispatched scouts. We'll soon have a full report."
"My guess is—the legendary non-specialist has arrived with his army!"
"Lord Red Phoenix, you must not underestimate him!"
Dark Night solemnly conveyed his suspicions and the situation.
Seated on the throne, Red Phoenix narrowed his avian demon eyes and murmured, "The non-specialist, huh? He actually came…"
And not just came—
He immediately delivered such a dramatic surprise!
He claimed all the camps, towers, and fortresses!
And he did it all without raising any alarms!
Absolutely outrageous!
He had created the detection eyes precisely to prevent such scenarios.
Those detection eyes weren't conjured from thin air.
They were crafted from the devoured eyes of divine bird beasts.
Each eye was extracted and forged by Red Phoenix himself.
Yet they were rendered completely useless by this non-specialist.
It was truly shocking…
"Good! Very good!"
"I've always heard from the Demon Arrival lot how dangerous this non-specialist is…"
"Now he dares parachute into our lands—I shall give him a proper welcome!"
Rather than angry, Red Phoenix was thrilled, filled with battle spirit.
To be honest—
Red Phoenix had long been curious about this non-specialist.
What kind of being could make even the Demon Arrival Organization wary?
Many high-ranking figures in the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss had warned Demon Venerables to be extremely cautious.
That made all the Demon Venerables curious.
And now this person had truly come.
Red Phoenix was ready to fight him!
"Lord Red Phoenix, I've heard that once this non-specialist targets someone, escape is impossible."
"With respect, I advise sending some Demon Emperors to test him first…"
Dark Night suggested cautiously.
Not because he was cowardly—
But the facts were undeniable.
Melis Fortress, Berkeley Fortress, Yas Fortress, Amos Fortress, and Tait Fortress—
All quietly fell to the non-specialist.
Even if the detection eyes were destroyed—
Surely at least one scout would've escaped?
Even one escapee could've raised the alarm.
But there were none.
That reality made Dark Night deeply wary of this human.
Caution was necessary.
This human seemed to slay Demon Emperors like cattle.
However—
Red Phoenix snorted in dissatisfaction and spat out bloody bones from his beak.
They were the remains of a Harpy he had devoured.
To him, it was like gnawing on ribs.
He looked at Dark Night and growled, "So you think I'll end up running away from this non-specialist?"
"Absolutely not, Lord! I simply believe caution never hurts!" Dark Night quickly clarified.
"Hmph! Enough with your useless talk!"
Red Phoenix flapped his massive black wings and growled, "Don't say more! In these hundreds—no, thousands of years—the Kingdoms have attacked my fortress countless times!"
"Have they ever succeeded?"
"They failed miserably! I slaughtered them all and sent them fleeing in disgrace!"
"And now a mere non-specialist with just two thousand troops quietly claims all our camps, towers, and fortresses?"
"If I don't show up to crush him, how will the other Demon Venerables view me?"
"I refuse to become a laughingstock!"
As Red Phoenix finished—
Dark Night could only smile bitterly inside.
Honestly…
This Red Phoenix Demon Venerable he served was indeed powerful—
But his arrogance stemmed from that very strength.
Especially since he had guarded Lemoris Fortress for so long.
He had reason to be proud—
But to Dark Night, this time… something felt ominous.
