That guy might be a cripple, but Mona never thought of him to be such a capable person.
Soon, the hundreds of fiends left without noticing Darryl and the others.
Darryl and Mona's men were secretly relieved.
"Let's go!" Darryl snapped back to his senses and said to Mona, "Let's get out of here as soon as possible."
Mona nodded and asked her men to carry Darryl.
...
Meanwhile, at the New World Royal City, in the Nine Mainland.
Skylar slowly woke up and found himself in a magnificent palace. He was stunned the moment he opened his eyes.
Was that a royal palace?
Skylar was surprised. He could see golden lights and luxurious decorations in the palace. Furthermore, several beautiful court maids were waiting at the side.
It was strange. Should he not be in Kunlun? Why was he there?
Also, which continent was that palace in?
"Where am I?" Skylar snapped back to his senses and asked the court maid beside him. "Who saved me and took me here?"
One of the maids replied respectfully, "Sir, His Majesty saved you. This is the New World Royal Palace."
The New World Royal Palace?
Skylar frowned. He remembered that the New World's Emperor was Lord Kenny Bred, but they had no ties. He was even hostile to him before.
Back then, Lord Kenny Bred had let the New World Royal family join the Heavenly Alliance, and Skylar had always been at odds with the Heavenly Alliance. That made them enemies.
Skylar wondered why Lord Kenny Bred would save his life under such circumstances.
A burst of laughter interrupted Skylar's thought process. Then, Lord Kenny Bred walked into the room with the company of several guards.
He was dressed in a golden robe and looked energetic, which showed the royal family's high and mighty status.
"It was at that time that I realized that my ancestor, Chiyou, was also a fiend."
What?
Skylar was shocked. He stared at Lord Kenny Bred and could not say a word.
In that case, the New World Royal Family were all descendants of the fiend.
Just as Skylar was stunned, Lord Kenny Bred stepped forward and said sincerely, "We both share the blood of the fiends, and you are Archfiend Antigonus' right-hand man. So, I would like to ask you to recommend my services to Archfiend Antigonus."
Skylar was enlightened, but he was no fool. He thought of something, then smiled and said, "You did not actually want to serve Archfiend Antigonus, but just to conquer the whole of the Nine Mainland, am I right?"
Skylar was sharp with his critical thinking skills and immediately guessed Lord Kenny Bred's intentions.
When Lord Kenny Bred's intentions were exposed, he blushed and felt nothing but embarrassment.
Skylar laughed and waved his hand in dismissal. "You look nervous. We are fiends. If you are willing to work for Archfiend Antigonus, of course, I'll help you."
