This was Victor's little scheme.
As soon as the clone body discovered him, Victor keenly realized that the combination of void walking and the Netherworld had been cracked by the demonic clan. Without hesitation, he released Caius and Arthur from the Netherworld.
This was a small psychological trap—throughout the entire process, the demonic clan had no idea how many people were in Victor's Netherworld. To the demonic clan, Caius and Arthur were two individuals who had never existed. While the demonic clan focused all their energy on Victor, their vigilance towards the two was naturally reduced to an extreme.
Victor was destined to be unable to escape the pursuit of the demonic clan, but Caius and Arthur did not have to "accompany" Victor and the others to their doom. At a certain moment, Caius, Arthur, and Victor parted ways, with the two hiding underground, concealing their life aura, intending to hold back the demonic clan for a while longer.
However, that time was destined to be short-lived.
Just three days later, countless ordinary members of the demonic clan, led by the three-headed dog, were spread across various continental plates. The three-headed dog sniffed the air vigorously, trying to discern the lingering scent.
At a certain moment, a three-headed dog in the continental plate No. 0954 suddenly shook its body. It caught a whiff of a strange scent in the air and let out a series of frantic barks.
The hiding place of the two was quickly found.
Deep underground, nearly ten thousand meters from the surface, the clone body had broken through the passage leading underground in a short period.
Thus, the struggles of Caius and Arthur came to an end.
They were still deep in sleep, their life aura completely concealed, until the clone body stood before them, waking them up with two slaps. Only then did they understand their situation.
In that moment, faced with clone bodies that they could not possibly defeat, the expressions of the two were surprisingly calm.
They had not performed as they should have...
Even now, it seemed that the two, about to face death, were dying for no reason, with no value in their demise.
However, perhaps it was simply their fate.
Lin Haifeng had arranged for Caius and Arthur to team up with Victor during the time when the one-eyed man and Victor were absent. Although Lin Haifeng was highly intelligent, he could not foresee future events. Looking back now, Lin Haifeng's arrangement for the two was indeed a blunder.
Caius and Arthur did not show any intent to complain. They simply sat in place, watching as five clone bodies surrounded them. In front of them, the clone body started to emit purple lightning, brewing a sense of murderous intent, yet Caius and Arthur showed no desire to struggle.
They could not win, nor could they escape.
They had simply resigned to fate.
However, suddenly, the lightning on the clone body flashed and then quickly disappeared. The leading clone body looked at the two, calm in expression. With just a wave of its hand, two clone bodies behind Caius drew out ropes from their waists, moved to the back of the two, and with swift hand movements, tied them up in no time.
“Take them away!”
The clone body issued the order, and the remaining clone bodies took Caius and Arthur, instantly vanishing like light on the horizon.
...
Until they arrived at the main battle area continental plate, Caius and Arthur were still in a daze.
They exchanged simple glances, their eyes filled with disbelief.
They hadn’t died?
How could that be possible?
From the moment they accepted the mission, Caius and Arthur had put life and death aside. Over the past eight years, they had followed Victor around, and while they were not exhausted, their state of mind had thoroughly settled.
They had already come to terms with life and death, but the current situation truly left them puzzled.
The clone bodies didn’t give the two any time or space to communicate. As they moved forward, the concentration of demonic energy became increasingly dense. Moments later, the three-headed clone body, along with Caius and Arthur, arrived in front of the demonic clan's headquarters.
