Red Dragon Emperor

The bottomless abyss, the thirteenth floor.

High in the sky above the ink clouds, below the bloody sun.

A strong red dragon flapped its wings and floated in the air. He grabbed a giant demon's neck with one hand. The terrifying demon had no power to resist in the hands of the red dragon and was lifted like a chicken.

"Iron Cast Iron Demon King - Sakus is nothing more than that, I accept your two hundred point bounty!" Jose's dragon claws tightened and cut off the demon's neck.

The notorious Cast Iron Demon King twitched a few times and was completely silent.

The red dragon put away the corpse of the demigod demon, and the excitement of hunting the Shadowless Demon Scythe was no longer in his heart. After all, the Cast Iron Demon King was already the seventeenth demigod demon that died in his hands.

With Red Dragon's current strength, he has a good chance of success in attacking and killing ordinary demigods. What's more, he is cautious by nature. He often asks for information and sets traps before hunting, and the success rate of hunting is as high as 90%.

Jose finished disposing of the cast iron devil's body and was about to go to the next target location.

Suddenly, a communication request from his family members sounded in his heart, and he saw that it was the communication request sent by the consul of Dragon City—Kokelin Ironscale.

If nothing major happened, Ke Kelin would not bother the Red Dragon.

"What's up?"

Kirklin Ironscale's submissive voice sounded in the Red Dragon's heart: "Respected master, the allies—Lord Situya sent an envoy to invite the master to go to Bloodtide Castle to discuss important matters tomorrow."

"Important matter?" Jose frowned.

In any case, the Forsyth Empire, the Mermaid Emperor, and the Pompeii Empire are all grasshoppers on the same rope now, and the allies will definitely go if they have something to invite.

"Okay, you tell the messenger, I will go."

"As ordered."

………………………

The time came to the next day, and Jose came to the city where the Mermaid King was located—Bloodtide Castle as scheduled.

Most of the bloody battlefield is land. Lakes are very rare, and inland seas that can be called oceans are even rarer. Bloodtide Castle is located on the edge of the largest inland sea in the bloody battlefield, built on top of the bloody cliffs.

Inside Bloodtide Castle, guests gathered, and the beautiful mermaid maid shuttled among them,

Present a variety of delicacies to the guests.

Among the many guests, José was one of the highest, followed by Moorelin.

Red Dragon and Moorlin stayed indoors alone, neither of them touched the food and wine on the table, but sat upright, closed their eyes and rested their minds, waiting for the Lord to appear.

The two of them were not kept waiting.

A stream of water appeared out of thin air, and the Mermaid Emperor walked out of the stream, and the water carried the tail of the fish forward in the hall, walking towards the red dragon and Moorlin who opened their eyes.

"You two, I've been waiting for a long time."

"We have just arrived for a while," Morin nodded slightly.

Jose went straight to the point: "Your Majesty Xituya, everyone is very busy, so you can skip the polite words, let's get down to business."

While the Red Dragon was speaking, Moorelin also looked at the Mermaid Emperor with questioning eyes.

"Well."

With a wave of his hand, the mermaid emperor cast a water curtain in the hall to isolate sound, sight, mental power and other factors that might reveal the content of the conversation.

Only the Red Dragon Emperor, the Demigod Mage and the Mermaid Emperor were left in the room.

The Mermaid Emperor sorted out his words, and then said: "You two, we haven't counted how many points we have won so far in this competition. Let's have a frank exchange."

Morlin frowned, and said, "What do you mean?"

"The literal meaning is to count how many points we have gained."

In this competition, the number of points is not public, and only the contestants themselves know how many points they have won.

Seeing that both Red Dragon and Moorelin were indifferent, the Mermaid Emperor took the initiative to say, "Then, let me start."

"In the past three years since the start of the competition, my Mermaid Dynasty has hunted down a total of 24 demigod demons, captured four demon cities, hunted and killed 784 legendary demons, and gained a total of 2,421 points .”

Seeing that the Mermaid Emperor had blew himself up, Jose said, "My Fosse Empire has hunted and killed thirty-four demigod demons, captured two demon cities, hunted and killed five hundred and forty-three legendary demons, and captured a total of three thousand and two demons." One hundred and fifty-four points."

Hearing the words of the Red Dragon, the Mermaid King and Moore Lin were quite surprised. They glanced at the Red Dragon, and they did not expect that the Fossey Empire had won more than 3,200 points.

Seeing that both of them revealed their family background, Moorelin no longer kept it: "In the Pompeii Empire, we killed 26 demigod demons, captured three demon cities, and hunted 825 legendary demons. Two thousand seven hundred and forty-one points."

The Mermaid Emperor nodded: "We have obtained a total of 8,416 points, which is a very good result."

Xituya then asked, "So, what's the price?"

After a pause, she continued: "In order to hunt and kill these demons, my guardian holy beast of the Mermaid Dynasty—Sea Swallowing Beast was seriously injured, one foreign aid demigod died in battle, eight legendary professionals fell, and the death toll of ordinary warriors under the legend It is tens of thousands."

Hearing this, Moore fell silent, and the loss of the Pompeii Empire was not small.

Jose didn't make a sound. Although the Fosse Empire didn't suffer any demigod-level losses, the money it spent was enough to make the dragon's flesh hurt, especially the commission for the Mistress of the Red Nest, and also paid a large amount of medical expenses for Wing of Havoc.

"I want to say one more thing, do you feel that demigod demons are no longer as easy to hunt as before," the Mermaid Emperor looked at the two of them.

Merlin frowned, and Jose nodded in agreement.

Demigod demons are indeed not as easy to hunt as they used to be.

When he first arrived at the bloody battlefield, the red dragon could kill a demigod demon almost every two months, but now, if he didn't spend a few months and half a year tracking the news, he wouldn't even see the face of the demigod demon.

Of course, the number of demigods and demons who were not killed by the three parties was greatly reduced.

In fact, the number of demigod demons killed by the three is very small compared to the entire abyss.

The number of demigods and demons in the bottomless abyss is not 100,000, but 80,000.

The reason for the current situation among the three is that the demigod demons, which are less difficult to hunt and easy to find, have been almost killed.

The rest of the demons either hid so deep that no one could be found, or were in too dangerous a location, such as the rear of the bloody battlefield, or the demigod demons themselves were very powerful, such as the hundred-eyed demon.

There is another situation, which is also the most common situation, that is, the demigod demon is the subordinate of a certain abyss lord.

According to the statistics of a mage organization in the multiverse, nearly 70% of the demigods and demons in the bottomless abyss have surrendered to the abyss lord.

No matter how rampant the three were, they would not dare to go to the house of the abyss lord to hunt and kill the demigod demons. Doing so would be tantamount to committing suicide.

It is foreseeable that the further you go, the more difficult it is to hunt and kill demigod demons.

The Mermaid Emperor asked abruptly: "You two, have you followed the devil's movements?"

Moore opened his mouth and said: "According to the information I have collected, the number of demigod demons hunted by devils is far less than us, and the points are less than us."

Red Dragon nodded, he got the same news as Moorlin.

The Mermaid Emperor shook his head: "I don't think so."

"Oh?" Jose didn't understand, and asked, "What's the reason?"

"You have been deceived by the devil."

The Mermaid Emperor went on to say: "That's right, the number of demigod demons hunted by devils is indeed far less than us, but the number of legendary demons they hunted is much higher than ours. According to reliable sources, devils have gained over 10,000 points!"

Merlin frowned and asked quickly, "Where did you get this news?"

"You don't have to worry about where the news came from, as long as you know that I won't deceive you about this matter."

Jose felt a little unbelievable, fifty points for a demigod demon, one point for a legendary demon, and the points gained by a devil hunting a legendary demon exceeded that of hunting a demigod demon.

"Where are there so many legendary demons for them to kill?"

The mermaid emperor's tone was gloomy: "They stationed a legendary devil in every devil frontline city, and let these legendary devils grab the head. The key is that the local devil lords are very cooperative."

Snapped!

Morlin's face was ugly, and he slapped the table: "This! This is cheating!"

Jose also had a gloomy face, but after carefully recalling the terms of the competition, he found that the devil really didn't need to violate the terms of the competition.

The Mermaid King said: "The devil took advantage of the loopholes in the terms of the competition. They can definitely say that after the competition started, they expanded their network resources on their own. Although we all understand the tricks in this, there is still nothing we can do about them."

"I have to say that the devil is worthy of being an expert in terms of research, and I have nothing to say about this loophole," the mermaid emperor sighed.

The Red Dragon thought for a while, and had to admit that what the Mermaid Emperor said was true.

The behavior of the devil is like taking advantage of legal loopholes. It is very hateful, but according to the law, there is really nothing to do with them.

Merlin was very angry: "Okay! Since the devil can take advantage of such a loophole! Then we can too!"

Jose said lightly: "How to drill? Those people will cooperate with you?"

Morlin was discouraged when he heard the words. As the red dragon said, the city lords of other front-line cities would not cooperate with the three parties like the devil lords.

"The number of legendary demons is far more than that of demigod demons, and the difficulty of hunting is relatively low, while the difficulty of hunting demigod demons is gradually increasing. If this continues, we are doomed," Jose said, turning his attention to the mermaid emperor.

"Your Majesty Xituya, since you discovered this and summoned us, what can you do?"

"Yes, I did think of a way."

The Mermaid Emperor continued, "Since the devil can take advantage of the loopholes in the contract, we can do the same, but the loopholes we want to take are different from the devil's."

"Everyone, according to the terms of the competition, godly level and above cannot participate in the competition, but what if the situation is that you were a demigod before participating in the competition, and you broke through to godly evil during the competition?!"

Both Red Dragon and Moorelin were shocked.

Moore asked quickly: "Your Majesty Xituya! Are you sure you can break through the evil?!"

The Mermaid Emperor said firmly: "No!"

Jose opened his mouth, and choked back the words that reached his throat: What a fart without you!

"but……"

The Mermaid Emperor's words changed: "With your help, I am sure to give it a try."

The Red Dragon and the Mermaid Emperor glanced at each other, and couldn't help but feel a little hesitant. If the Mermaid Emperor advances to God, then the chances of the Forsyth Empire and the Pompeii Empire winning are very small.

"Two, now is not the time to guard your teammates."

The mermaid emperor persuaded: "We can find this loophole, so the devil can't, if the devil's side breaks through the evil first."

"Then it's not a matter of losing or winning. At that time, we may not even be able to save our lives."

"Think about it, the targeting and assassination we suffered when we first entered the abyss, once the devil has a god-level powerhouse, will he let us go?!"

Jose frowned. It had to be said that what the Mermaid Emperor said made sense.

"On the contrary, if I can step into the gods first, I will not let the devil go. As long as I kill all the demigods on the devil's side, then the bowl of meat from Taidanuoer will be rotten in the pot. Let's go inside compete."

"Regardless of the outcome, Tedanol will not fall into the hands of outsiders."

Jose weighed the pros and cons. Instead of letting the devil step into the abomination first and put himself in a dangerous situation, it is better to let the mermaid emperor advance to the abomination.

At least the mermaid emperor advanced to the gods, and the red dragon didn't have to worry about being attacked, and there was even a glimmer of hope of winning.

The red dragon's face was serious: "I have to admit, Your Majesty Xituya, you convinced me, but there are some things that must be made clear in advance."

"First, what kind of help does His Majesty need from us? Regarding this point, Your Majesty must explain clearly, explain the pros and cons, and must not hide anything so that we can assess the risks."

The red dragon continued: "Secondly, if your majesty advances to the gods, what kind of reward can you give us, and how to ensure that our interests are not damaged."

As for the Mermaid Emperor's rebellion after advancing to God, and turning to deal with the Forsyth Empire and the Pompeii Empire, there is no need to worry about this, because the three parties have already signed a contract, and there will be no internal struggle until the end of the competition.

Aside, Morin nodded, agreeing with the Red Dragon's words.

"Your Excellency Jose's request is very reasonable," the Mermaid Emperor paused, and then said, "Then, let's start with my plan."

"Just the night before yesterday, I received news that the lord of the eighty-first floor of the bottomless abyss, the Flogger—Nahum was seriously injured in the previous battle."

"Three days ago, another true god sneaked into the eighty-first floor of the abyss to assassinate the Lasher. Although he failed to kill him, he once again severely injured the Lasher."

"Nahum was seriously injured and dying. He didn't even dare to stay in the palace. He didn't know where he hid in the abyss and fell asleep."

"I used a lot of resources to verify this news, and the news is true."

"In addition, I also accidentally found Nahum's secret treasure house. There is a water attribute treasure in this secret treasure house. This treasure will help me break through the abomination."

The Mermaid Emperor continued: "But there are many demigod and demon subordinates guarding the Lasher's treasury, and I am not the only one who can spy on it, so I thought of you."
