Regardless of the Celestial-level Cruel Angel's threat level, Leon would still use everything in his arsenal to remove it.
He wanted to explore the abyss, and the Celestial-level Cruel Angel was an obstacle in his way.
The abyss appeared to be the heart of the jungle formation.
The source of the jungle plants' growth, the secret behind the lack of spirit energy, and other secrets that may be hidden within the abyss…
Leon was naturally interested in them.
"Be careful, Master. That Cruel Angel must have grown even stronger after assimilating the other eight Cruel Angels. I don't think it will be easy to defeat," Cindertail warned.
"Perhaps. But regardless of its strength, it still needs to be dealt with," Leon calmly stated before suddenly adding, "That being said, I'll be disappearing a bit. Take care of the situation until I get back."
"W-wait, what? Where do you need to go, Master?"
"To get reinforcent."
Shortly after, Leon transmitted his command to Tak-si through their spiritual connection. A spatial rift appeared and swallowed him in the next mont.
…
Starfall Dominion, Dark Fae Clan.
A few breaths after Leon disappeared from Gran Crevasse, he reappeared in the middle of the Dark Fae Clan's mountain peak. His sudden appearance imdiately startled and alard all the nearby dark faes.
However, a few dark faes among the crowd shortly recognized Leon before their eyes brightened with joy and excitent.
"Welco back, my Lord!" the female dark faes greeted loudly and clearly as they dropped onto one of their knees and lowered their heads submissively.
After the other dark faes in the clan overheard that, they also followed suit.
"Welco back, my Lord!"
"At ease."
Leon calmly gestured for them to stand up and relax with his hand. The dark faes imdiately complied, but they couldn't contain their excitent.
"Quick, inform the clan leader that the Lord is back!" a dark fae urged.
"No need to bother the clan leader. I am only dropping by for a short while," Leon replied with a shake of his head.
"Who can tell the current situation in the Starfall Dominion? How's the mission's progress given to the Black Dragon Clan, and who can tell their present location?"
"I can, my Lord!" a nearby female dark fae voiced among several other volunteers.
Leon gave her a glance before nodding with acknowledgnt. Then, he signaled for her to continue speaking.
"After my Lord left, the Black Dragon Clan and Dark Fae Clan swept through Great Blackrock Mountains and united all the demon clans in under three days. Afterward, Lord Shadowtail led the Black Dragon Clan to subjugate the rest of the demon clans in Starfall Dominion in the following four days."
"It took three days to subjugate the Great Blackrock Mountains, but only four days to do the sa with the whole Starfall Dominion?" Leon raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, my Lord," the dark fae confird with a nod before adding, "Because news of what happened in the Great Blackrock Mountains spread quickly to the rest of the dominion, the other demon clans easily surrendered without a fight."
"As such, Lord Shadowtail and his clan mbers had an easy ti subjugating the rest of Starfall Dominion within a short ti. After unifying Starfall Dominion, Lord Shadowtail and the rest of the Black Dragon Clan had been stationed near the southern border ever since."
"Only Lord Nightingale and a few other dark wyrms remained nearby in Great Blackrock Mountains in case you returned, my Lord," the female dark fae reported.
It was the Dark Fae Clan that contributed to the quick spread of the news.
"I see," Leon nodded thoughtfully.
Although he was in a hurry to fetch a Divine Beast-level Earth Dragon from the Black Dragon Clan to help him deal with the Celestial-level Cruel Angel, he was slightly bothered by a part of the report.
"Why is the Black Dragon Clan stationed near the southern border?" Leon inquired with knitted brows.
"Ah, that was because of the threat coming from the other dominions, my Lord," the female dark fae replied.
"Ever since the other neighboring dominions found out the Nine Great Clan lost all their powerhouses on the trip inside the secret realm, they wanted to conquer our land and plunder our resources."
"Fortunately, we had Lord Shadowtail and the Black Dragon Clan to repel them."
After listening to the female fark fae's report, Leon continued to inquire about the situation in detail until he grasped the whole picture.
He was surprised to learn that the other demon dominions also had Demon Lord-level figures, albeit very few. Even so, they had many Half-step Demon Lords.
Supposedly, there was even a Demon King in the Holy Demon Land, located in the heart of the Dark Abyss Continent.
Nevertheless, the Starfall Dominion's present situation was not urgent.
According to the female dark fae's words, the other neighboring dominions quickly retreated when they discovered the four Divine Beast-level Earth Dragons guarding the Starfall Dominion.
Leon wasn't surprised when he heard of that. After all, four Divine Beast-level Earth Dragons were the equivalent of four Demon Lords.
The other neighboring dominions had no choice but to tuck tails and run even if they had more Half-step Demon Lords.
"Alright, I've heard enough. Bring over to Nightingale; I'll be requiring her service."
"Yes, my Lord!"
Shortly after, the female dark fae led Leon away from the Dark Fae Clan and headed to Nightingale's location, which was only a few mountains away. A few minutes later, Nyfarella arrived at their previous location.
"Greetings, Clan Leader!" the surrounding dark faes paid their respects.
However, Nyfarella didn't acknowledge their greetings imdiately. Instead, she glanced around urgently before asking, "Where is the Lord?"
"The Lord has already left, Clan Leader."
Sigh!
Nyfarella felt regretful that she had missed the Lord. After a bit, she directed her displeasure at her clan mbers.
"Why didn't anyone report the Lord's arrival to ?"
"Lord instructed us not to, Clan Leader."
Sigh!
Nyfarella sighed dispiritedly after receiving her answer. She wondered if the Lord was avoiding her due to the thing she pulled last ti.
If she knew things would turn out like this, she wouldn't have done it.
