The Legend of the Devil
Ch. 228 - Sun's heirloom

"i'll kill him! Let me go and find that guy, damn it!"

"Shh."

The voice instantly stopped the shrill scream earlier, the echo inside the hall-like room was gripping for a few seconds.

Dozens of assembled troops bowed respectfully to the chairman, but one of them appeared to be unable to accept what was happening and forced to abandon his duties on that important day.

"My teacher died because of that guy, I had to kill him-!" His hand that gripped an ice jewel as beautiful as a diamond trembled violently. His cries began to sound on the sidelines of his trembling tone.

"You forgot why your teacher brought you here?" The man made it clear, "if you forget let me remind you once more, your life to obey me and to carry out all my commands. You have survived the blaze by then, thinking of repaying the kindness of your teacher who saved your life by obeying my orders."

"But-"

The man walked down the small steps and headed to the place where the girl was standing. He took the Ice Stone softly in his hand, as the girl froze with the aura of power and the murderous air that was suffocating her neck realistically. He gulped heavily while trying to remain standing even though his legs were about to lose power.

"I don't care what happens to the Red Fingers. They're just shields that hide me from outsiders. You've seen it for yourself, haven't you? None of my men were killed. Now the seats of the Light are filled only by three of them. The Red Fangs will be destroyed any minute as they are just a tumbar. Why are you crying over a collision that's obviously going to die?"

The girl knew everything at that moment. He thought that the man would really share the results of the profits, but in fact from the beginning he only used Red Taring and all the parties he worked with for his own sake. That way he stays safe while others become his victims.

Circumstances turned around and the fact that made him surprised was not out of thought. He had never expected to see such a fleeting betrayal.

His teacher was just a collision to deal with the enemies that the fox mask could not solve. And so with the other Light.

"But aren't you also part of the Red Fangs?" His voice was hoarsely drowned, still shocked by the truth presented before his eyes.

"I was part of them first. The fourth seat is not the position I want. More than that ... I want something higher than light."

"Juston man!"

"You're saying trash to the man who gave you power?"

The girl dodged. "The first light that gives me this power."

"You don't ask who created the power of light?"

The smile carried a horror that gave her hair goosebumps.

"Thus ... You ..."

His lips were mutely staring at the man with the fox mask.

"really. I was the one of the founders of Red Taring. You just heard my name? Heh."

His cold laughter exceeded the coldness of the floor tiles of the hall.

"I created this core group to keep moving in the shadows. While the Red Taring is just a diversion. I made all the rumors that led to the Red Fangs, the Ghost Jade Tower, the Purple Scorpions and the other groups so that everyone thought that their group was causing trouble. No wonder they were hunted all out by the four Empire warriors. Besides I allied with them to find all the heirlooms needed. All this is simple. But you're too easily fooled."

"As a puppet controller, I move behind the curtain. Letting my puppets dance on the stage and complete my shuffled groove. And now it's time for the final show. Of course the audience wanted to see who the controller of the doll was and applaud him."

"One last doll will amaze all spectators to the afterlife. Hows it? Interesting right? Surely you are looking forward to this show, hahahahah!"

The girl subconsciously retreated.

He had admired the man's deceitful abilities, but he never expected today that he would become the victim of the fox mask man.

"You rotten man"

"Since you agreed to join us you've been a rotten human being. How many have you killed up to this point? Don't hypocrite. Lucky you're useless and just a burden on the group so you're alive."

"Not useful?!" The girl screamed. "I got the stone, give it back to me!! I wouldn't cooperate with a crafty human like you!"

The man suddenly jerked his index and middle fingers to the back of the girl's neck. He made her stand up and finally shut up.

"Come with me."

"Good, Sir." His tone changed drastically, his empty eyes looked lifeless. He was like an undead walking after the man. Heading for a protected place with high security as well as hundreds of heavily armored troops and fox masks on their faces. As the man passed by, the men lowered their heads in unison.

A giant door lay before the man. He took out something that appeared in his hand. Both stones were shining, fire and ice. The Guang Empire and Bing Empire had fallen and lost their Earth Ruler Element Stone.

Smile grinned behind the mask in a cruel way, the reflection of the two heavenly heirlooms in his eyes visible. Enthusiastically he entered the large room with a height exceeding fifty meters upwards as the giant door opened.

"With this I don't need any other combat weapons. It is the most powerful in the world and no one can match it. This solar heirloom power could overturn the world in an instant. It's breathtaking. Hahaha I was almost crazy to imagine it, truly the best combat weapon ever."

Seen by a gigantic demon monster that had frozen in a black crystal-like shell, its four eyes were closed for a very long time. Yet the immense power within his body remained even though it had been frozen for hundreds of years. The bone skeleton was printed clearly on the red skin of his flesh as well as the horns on both his head. The evil force felt thick in the giant room.

In a cross-legged position, the monster fused its two palms together in front of its chest. The Fox Mask surrounded the slightly transparent giant black crystal. His gaze turned to the girl behind him.

"Destroy the top of the crystal immediately."

"Understand me, sir." He replied stiffly, then after that the power of light with the greatest power it possessed came out. The man watched closely as the girl shot through the air while clenching fists.

The fist struck the center of the crystal where the mouth part of the demon monster was. The man caught up quickly and was on top of the demon fingers cupped in a crystal shell. He showed the two sky gems to the front of the monster's face

"This is what you've been waiting for, right? I can hear your voice calling me. From now on I am your Master and your duty is to follow my orders."

Then in a few moments after, two of the four eyes of the creature were wide open.

"HAHAHAHAH!"

*

The Fox Mask man stood on the edge of the ravine facing directly towards the valley with a thick fog. Thousands of his followers wearing the Fox Mask followed along with the clattering of footsteps echoing up into the sky.

One of his subordinates approached the man and whispered.

"Chairman. He had not returned since receiving orders to find the white mask swordsman. How's this the chief?"

"Remain to the plan, whether or not he will not affect anything ... Besides I've got more interesting weapons than him." The eyes behind the fox mask were staring ambitiously in front of him. Where behind those valleys would they directly descend to the city of Guang Empire.

The world laughed at him and now was his chance to laugh at them back. Satisfaction filled every cavity of his body to make the man so happy. The day he was waiting for has arrived. There's nothing better than all this.

"First Light issued an order, they are also moving today. About two hundred thousand troops have been prepared and ten thousand members will be taken down." Whisper that guy again.

"good. Stick to my plan."

***

Feng Empire began to vacillate.

The foggy morning brought bad winds that blew through the cracks of housing. The Emperor's palace looked silent. Then in a tense second there were thousands of footsteps that shook the ground and the entire place.

The glass in the palace sky shook violently. Li Jia Xing sat on his throne facing southwest, staring at one window for so long that it horrified his bodyguards and servants to know there was an intent to the attitude, his serious expression had been there since twelve hours ago and now that seriousness had become a great fear.

The war again came sweeping across the land. Unable to lie, people as tall as him also felt a tremor of fear that made him limp.

Outside the palace the residents looked up at the sky to see the cloudy weather that looks strange. The women picked up their boys to immediately return home while the men rushed from their jobs. Everyone already knew the news of the war going back and everything was inevitable.

Old enemies have come to settle the previously delayed war.

A sharp wind swept through the dust in the city, the clattering of bells from the temple being the only sound that filled the place. Dozens of people prayed and pleaded for their salvation from disaster and distress while weeping and crying.

Some residents fled as far away as possible when they saw the dark sky approaching.

*

Diqiu Empire had never been as chaotic as it now was. Hundreds of students in college robes ran for their lives, residents came out of their homes to see a terrible phenomenon that made their entire bodies shiver in horror.

At a glance from a distance the sky looks like it is filled with pitch-black clouds that move following the strong wind. However as the cloud approached they realized that it was thousands of crows that filled the entire sky of Diqiu Empire. The closer the black puff was in the sky, the wind was blowing even more.

People pray while embracing their families. No one could save them even their own leader could not necessarily survive this calamity.

The Earth Ruler Element Stone, Ice Stone and Fire Stone had fallen into the hands of the enemy. What else could make them think they could survive that war?

*

The center of the Guang Empire was destroyed after the First Light attack that destroyed the entire city. He himself had caused an utter destruction and until that moment there were still many corpses lying lifeless on the streets. Meanwhile, residents tried to save themselves, stomping on the bodies and looking for their families.

The fate of Emperor Guang, An Gu Ming was said to have come to an ill-fated end. He was killed by the First Light after giving away the Fire Stone. Chaos broke out in every corner of the Guang Empire and the commotion instantly dissipated as a gigantic dark shadow from above appeared and left everything speechless for a few seconds.

"The end is ..."

"We're all going to die today"

"Stop talking, you scare the others!"

"Without me being afraid, everyone is scared, look around you. Does everything seem calm?!"

Quarrels come out of their mouths.

Just like what happened in Bing Empire.

The men and women in thick clothes sat on the hardened ice. Hugging each other fearing loss. The cry of the little boy echoed and made an endless mood of gloom

Meanwhile the Emperor of the Bing Empire, Mo Daiyo was seen frantically in his chair while flipping through every single piece of file.

His finger stopped at one map, precisely at the place where the Guang Empire was located.

If seen clearly, the Guang Empire was located at the very corner among the three other Empires. There was a straight line that could cross the four Empires simultaneously. Mo Daiyo ignored the surrounding voices asking for his immediate action. He came out and looked in the direction where the Guang Empire should be.

His cloudy eyes widened as a red light split the sky and land in two.

Screams echoed at the same time along with the fierce bang that made Mo Daiyo lose his balance and fall down on the ice. Both of his hands trembled violently looking at the fiery giant abyss created by that red light.

"That's ... It is the Sun's inheritance that is said. A power that can overturn the earth in one second." His eyes did not blink at all for the sake of watching the gigantic hole melt with the fire inside. The biggest fear of his life really happened today.

The world will be destroyed.
