Chapter 684 Double Contractor

Even true Peak Transcendents would find it difficult to face so many Transcendent-level attacks.

However, Galen still managed it.

"I\'m afraid this demonic human\'s power is already at the threshold of the Demigods…" Kuvat frowned before recalling Galen\'s words.

"Few humans have lived as long as he has. It\'s also possible he has been a Devil\'s Contractor since Gehenna\'s appearance. In other words, he could have been a Devil\'s Contractor for at least three hundred years. That is a lot of time for someone to understand their abilities as a Devil\'s Contractor."

"But what I find most concerning is the way he spoke about his abilities. If we add in our previously conceived notions regarding Galen\'s background, then…"

Kuvat didn\'t finish his words, but Fraegar and the others quickly understood his implication. It wasn\'t difficult to comprehend at all.

After all, Galen was previously believed to be contracted to Hecate, but he ended up revealing the distinct traits and abilities of Abaddon.

No one has ever heard of a Double Contractor before.

However, just because no one has ever heard or seen one before, it didn\'t mean it wasn\'t possible. Galen was most likely the living example of a Double Contractor.

"This… There has never been a Double Contractor before… To wield the divine abilities of two Great Devils… Just how strong would he become if we let him grow?" Fraegar wondered with a horrid expression.

"I can\'t say for sure, but I do know that it will be nearly impossible to deal with this demonic human just the current people and dragons we have here," said Piaro, another Early Transcendent True Dragon. "We may have to ask for more reinforcements or request the Supreme Leader to act—"

"Absolutely not! We cannot disturb the Supreme Leader at this time," Kuvat firmly refused the suggestion, leaving no room for negotiation on the matter.

"The Supreme Leader is at a crucial point in his cultivation on the Black Mountain and cannot deal with the Great Ratholos Empire\'s crisis right now. That is why the Supreme Leader sent us to act in his stead."

"The Supreme Leader mustn\'t be disturbed! Never! Understand?" Kuvat stressed.

"In that case, we can only seek the others for help," Piaro calmly stated. A few moments later, he informed everyone, "Alright, I already sent the word to Chaezi. She said she would notify the patrolling dragons and send them our way for us."

"Good!" Kuvat acknowledged.

…

Meanwhile, the number of troops gathered outside the Delarosa Household had increased by tenfold since the start of the battle. However, the imperial army only accounted for a quarter of the number.

"Your Majesty, I have completed your task without! The conflict between the two ducal factions has been resolved, and they are now here with me to provide support!" an elderly warrior in imperial guard armor reported. "Please command us!"

"It\'s the Senior Imperial Guards! The Senior Imperial Guards are here to help!" Jhoru exclaimed with excitement.

The Senior Imperial Guards were from the oldest generations of Imperial Guards. All of them had lived long lives, but more importantly, they were all Transcendent-level warriors!

"Even the Dukes and their people are here to help. I\'m sure we can take down this Old Demon with their help, Your Majesty!" Jhoru added.

"Big Brother, you better leave behind some rats for me! I am very mad! I have believed myself to be very wise, yet I was still played by a mere Delarosa Household! This grievance of mine must be avenged by me!" Duke Gamliel\'s loud, indignant voice was heard from the outside.

"Don\'t forget about me! I am also here, Big Brother! I can\'t wait to slaughter these traitorous bastards!" Duke Zohar roared.

Both his and Duke Gamliel\'s factions have suffered great losses due to their violent conflicts, which was like an active volcano erupting after a hundred years of slumber – once it started, it couldn\'t have been stopped.

If he hadn\'t been told the Delarosa Household was behind the secret deaths of the first-seated heirs, he would have most likely continued to fight Duke Gamliel until one of them fell.

"Tch!"

Galen clicked his tongue as he listened to the roars of men and their footsteps.

He estimated there were at least two hundred thousand men and at least ten Transcendent-level warriors outside. Furthermore, this wasn\'t the last of them, as there were even more on their way over.

Even if he was arrogant, he wasn\'t blindly arrogant. He knew that even a mighty elephant could still be bitten to death by ants.

"It seems I have wasted too much time," Galen acknowledged his mistake for desiring to boast. It seemed he wasn\'t devilish enough yet. "Kekeke, no matter. Even if more of you come, you will still have to wait your turn!"

Suddenly, the bloody tornado rapidly expanded, engulfing everything within the Delarosa Household. It became a new barrier that blocked outsiders from entering.

"I haven\'t tried this before, so even I don\'t know how effective it\'ll be. Let us find out, shall we?" Galen grinned.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just as Galen spoke, Kuvat and his peers launched their surprise attacks from different directions.

Galen\'s location was quickly barraged with powerful fire spells, and the land was devastated by their destructive power. The earth cracked, and clouds of dust and soil rose from the impacts.

\'These casual dragon breaths are more deadly than fully charged Rank 5 Magitech Cannons!\' Emperor Varan\'s lips twitch at the sight.

However, he quickly frowned at the obscured vision.

It was good that the dragons didn\'t wait to find out what Galen intended to do, but it was hard to say if their surprise attacks were effective.

"Tch, so impatient."

Galen\'s dismissive words resounded from within the cloud of dust and soil, dispelling their doubts.

Indeed, their attacks weren\'t effective.

Shortly after, they saw Galen\'s figure protected by crystalized blood walls that seemed tougher than most metals. Although they didn\'t completely cover Galen, his burns were healed almost instantly.

Such a sight made everyone feel even more heavy-hearted.

Before anyone else could follow up with another attack, Galen\'s crimson eyes beamed with greater intensity. In that instant, a shroud of black smoke gushed out from his body, flooding the entire Delarosa Household before merging with the blood barrier.
