Marquez moved quickly.
In no time, he arrived at the nearest Demon Realm Gate to Las Vegas.
Ignoring the flattering demeanor of the gate commander, he walked straight into the Demon Realm Gate!
...
The sky in the Demon Realm is always a grey-black!
The sky is filled with terrifying cracks, as if it is about to shatter at any moment!
As an ancient demon entity, Marquez could naturally feel the deep twilight lurking beneath the Demon Realm.
The Demon Realm...
Life is short...
Now, it can barely survive only by relying on the origin power of other worlds...
Thinking of this, Marquez sighed lightly, disregarding the respectful attitudes and eyes of the massive army of demonic creatures around him, and instantly activated teleportation, flying rapidly in one direction.
Before long, Marquez had reached his destination.
...
Under the grey-black sky, two figures quietly awaited Marquez's arrival.
One was a seated ancient demon entity, while the other was a three-meter tall, dark red, strange demonic entity—except that the large hole in its head told everyone that this lying entity was already a corpse...
"You've returned, Marquez. How did the mission go?"
Marquez didn’t say anything else, just nodded gently: "The mission was successful; Argus has activated the soul battlefield against Sequence Two."
"That's good!"
The ancient demon entity nodded lightly, pointed to the corpse of the demonic entity lying on the ground, and said again, "Once this Sequence Four hunting group completely destroys it, the mission will be considered a complete success!"
Hearing the words of the ancient demon entity, Marquez opened his mouth slightly, and after a long while, he voiced his doubts.
"This mission is quite strange... Sequence Two is a soul master and possesses a soul armament. Argus should not be able to handle Sequence Two in the soul battlefield! Plus, with the Soul Shattering Mirror... Why grant the soul battlefield ability to Sequence Two? It would be a better choice for you or even a higher-ranked member of our demonic clan."
The ancient demon entity shook his head gently after hearing this.
After a moment, he spoke: "This is the most direct order from the Demon Palace... No, from the lord demon. In fact, I don’t know what the lord demon is thinking..."
The ancient demon entity thought for a moment, then a wisp of black flame suddenly ignited in his hand.
The black flame seemed to have a life of its own, directly igniting the body of the deceased demonic entity beside him, instantly turning it into a pile of ashes!
"Let's go back to the Demon Palace to report. Also..."
"Let the dead remain dead in the hands of Sequence One! The intel just came back; Sequence One's hunting group has suffered three deaths out of five, and the remaining two are still being chased..."
Upon hearing the ancient demon entity's words, Marquez's eyes instantly dimmed.
“Lei, what do you think the lord demon is really thinking? This mission targeting Sequence One and Sequence Two gives me a strange feeling…”
"Such things have never happened in previous hunting operations. Not to mention giving the soul battlefield to Sequence Two for free, even the strength of Sequence One's hunting group is insufficient, except for Lei, the remaining four are just fillers..."
“Bang.”
A sinister arm slammed forcefully on Marquez's shoulder.
Lei spoke softly to Marquez, "Stop overthinking it. The lord demon has his own thoughts; the will of our ancestors is not something we can speculate on. Here's my advice: do your own job well!"
After saying this, Lei immediately took out a token-like object and crushed it!
Black light surged out from the token, enveloping the bodies of Marquez and Lei, and in the next second, the two demonic entities instantly vanished!
...
When the teleportation's black light flickered, Lei and Marquez found themselves in an unknown area.
The entire space was enveloped by a pure black light curtain, and before them stood a magnificent grand hall.
Taking a slight breath, Marquez felt a surge of pure demonic energy rushing into his body, even slightly boosting his strength.
