CHAPTER 204: WATERFALL DISRUPTION

Just as Carlos flew back up to keep watch and Purple Vortex got ready to check things out,

"Wait, what’s that..."

Suddenly,

From the sand waterfall,

A thick arm popped out, followed by some weird head, until the whole body appeared.

...

"Damn it, why did this crappy job fall to me?"

The Black Sinner touched its big head with a bitter look,

Using its natural ability to walk on the flowing sand.

"Lord Luckybe’s whereabouts are all over the place—

How the hell am I supposed to deliver the message?"

This Black Sinner was seriously worried about not being able to deliver the message on time and screwing up the mission.

"Where should I look for Lord Luckybe?"

While it was lost in thought, it didn’t notice

A dark purple force field quietly showing up, rapidly getting closer.

Suddenly,

The Black Sinner felt a crushing sense of pressure and couldn’t help looking up:

"What... what is this!!!"

A dark purple force field came crashing down with terrible pressure covering its entire body!

Without any time to react, this mid-level Black Sinner got easily restrained by the Dark Purple Force Field, its pose frozen in that moment.

"Chirp!"

A red light came down.

Red Spirit started reading this Black Sinner’s soul vibes,

Constantly sending the decoded stuff to its master.

High in the sky,

Carlos got this information, his brow furrowed:

"Just like I thought!

Those tip-off letters were the Black Sinners’ scheme!"

From this mid-level Black Sinner’s soul vibe content,

Carlos confirmed his suspicions.

Just like he’d figured,

The tip-off letters were a fake-out tactic.

The Black Sinners’ portal ritual was somewhere totally different!

"The info those two gave me

Was also totally spot-on."

Right now,

The Black Sinners’ descent ritual hadn’t successfully kicked off yet.

In the cave behind the sand waterfall, the strongest

Was only one high-level Black Sinner—the rest were all mid-level and low-level.

"The garrison investigator is now in the deepest part of the cave."

Carlos thought through the intel in his head.

With the forces he had, wiping out this group of Black Sinners would be a piece of cake.

But it would be best to save that investigator—after all, she was somewhat of an ’acquaintance’ to Carlos.

"Luckily, the cave behind the sand waterfall has no other exits.

So we don’t need to sweat about them getting away."

After thinking it through,

To avoid complications, Carlos immediately decided

To use overwhelming force to pin down these Black Sinners without giving them time to react!

"Purple Thornblade Shield Guards, all activate bonds!"

"Roar!"

Right away,

The 11 Purple Thornblade Shield Guards

Raised their purple-marked great swords in brilliant light, their serious power rapidly shooting up.

The originally peak mid-level shield guards all jumped up to high-level, eleven crazy terrifying presences rising, stirring wind and clouds.

In front of them,

Purple Vortex’s aura was even more horrifying. With the bond’s boost, it officially stepped into the Controller realm.

The Dark Purple Force Field exploded, infecting the entire sky in moments, throwing this area into darkness.

"Purple Vortex, at max speed, control every living thing in the cave!"

Considering the Black Sinners’ conspiracy still had tons of unclear aspects,

The Black Sinners in the cave should be grabbed alive for Red Spirit to extract intel.

"Roar!"

Purple Vortex got the command, massive Dark Purple Force Field pouring down.

"Boom!"

It actually cut off the entire sand waterfall from upstream!

In an instant,

A deep cave entrance appeared!

...

Inside the cave,

"What!

What’s going down outside!!!"

The Black Sinners were in total chaos.

High-level Black Sinner Jeff felt chilled to the bone.

Just now,

It sensed that nearby, twelve crazy terrifying auras had suddenly shown up.

One of them was particularly horrifying—definitely hitting False King level!

"Si... sir, ou... outside!!!"

A Black Sinner came to report in a panic,

Pointing toward the cave entrance, voice shaking, eyes fearful, as if seeing something totally terrifying.

"The... the sand waterfall disappeared!!!"

"What??"

Jeff was horrified.

At the same time,

Black Sinners near the cave entrance let out terrified screams:

"What is this?"

"Run!"

"Help!!!"

The voices cut off suddenly, chilling the hearts of the Black Sinners deeper in the cave!

"Could human powerhouses have attacked!!!"

Connecting this to the terrifying auras just sensed,

High-level Black Sinner Jeff’s face was dripping with sweat.

"Impossible, impossible!

The False King-level powerhouses among Rock Sand City humans were all lured to District Four!

Who could this terrible aura belong to!"

As a high-level Black Sinner, it understood better than anyone the horror of False King-level powerhouses!

Despair rose in its heart, its eight arms twisting and shaking.

"An accident! It’s gotta be an accident!"

Just as Black Sinner Jeff tried to calm down and think of ways out,

"Boom!"

The terrible Dark Purple Force Field spread from the cave entrance to here!

Wherever it went, not one Black Sinner was spared. Before they could even cry out,

They got restrained, unable to move, like sitting ducks!

High-level Black Sinner Jeff’s

Eyes filled with terror:

"No!!!"

All the power in its body exploded, its eight arms instantly swelling by a full circle.

Just as it was about to act,

It got swallowed by the Dark Purple Force Field!

Unable to move even a little bit!

What terrifying power—who the hell is the attacker?

Jeff’s heart was full of despair,

While also being totally confused—

Who could this unknown attacker be?

What had blown their cover?

Damn it! I knew those human backstabbers couldn’t be trusted!!!

Jeff gritted its teeth,

Instinctively suspecting the human traitor providing intel.

But immediately tossed out this thought—

Because the human traitor didn’t even know about this hidden cave!

"Chirp!"

A red light rushed into the cave,

Following its master’s command, rapidly reading the soul vibes of the Black Sinners in the cave.

Then,

"Stomp stomp!"

Heavy footsteps sounded as the terrifyingly powerful shield guards entered the cave,

Starting to take control of everything inside!

They also took out the Black Sinners that Red Spirit judged to have no value.

Soon, this Black Sinner cave was totally under control.

After making sure it was safe,

Carlos finally flew into the cave.

What met his eyes were Black Sinners pinned down by the Dark Purple Force Field.

Passing by the low-level and mid-level Black Sinners,

Carlos went straight to the cave’s only high-level Black Sinner:

"Red Spirit, decode this one first!"

"Chirp!"

Red Spirit immediately flew toward Jeff.

The searing flames stung.

High-level Black Sinner Jeff,

Even though totally locked down, could feel its terrified heart:

"Don’t come closer!!!"

Skeleton monster?

Armored figure?

This... could this be that noble human Lord Luckybe mentioned!!!

The human with kingly potential!!!

For a moment,

Jeff felt relieved.

Dying at the hands of a future Demon King—its life had no regrets!
