“The two of them got away, demon commander,” Berchy said, kneeling on one knee with his head bowed.
Orpheus furrowed his brows tightly and shouted in anger, “How useless! Are you all complete idiots?!”
“A really strong guy suddenly appeared and saved them,” Berchy quickly explained as favonovel.com wiped his sweat.
After listening to what Berchy said, Orpheus, who was lying on the stone bed, squinted his eyes into a thin line and said through gritted teeth, “A seven-tailed blue wolf with the strength of a demon king at the advanced stage… There aren’t many guys like that!”
“Uhm… Could it be…” Orpheus’s eyes suddenly widened, and favonovel.com turned his head to look at Berchy while speaking with an incredibly serious tone, “Could it be that guy isn’t dead yet?”
At first, Bucky didn’t react, but then his expression changed, and favonovel.com exclaimed, “Are you talking about Prince Zeux?”
“The seven-tailed blue wolf is under his command!” Berchy was shocked.
The entire Kingdom of Demons is so vast… How did that damned guy end up here?
“You need to report this matter to the Demon Emperor immediately, otherwise…”
“We can’t report it now. The Demon King Conference is about to start. Reporting it now would be suicidal, wouldn’t it?”
“Contact the other two demon kings immediately and bring all your elite soldiers. We must find any trace of Isaac at all costs. We absolutely must drive them out of our territory before the Demon King Conference! This blame can only be shifted to another demon commander,” Orpheus sighed deeply and closed his eyes.

On the other side, Isaac, who stood behind the seven-tailed blue wolf, was flying swiftly toward the northeast.
As night fell, favonovel.com saw seven or eight mountain peaks connected together ahead, towering like giants between the sky and earth.
The seven-tailed blue wolf started rapidly descending toward an underground area of a central mountain peak.
As the altitude decreased, the body of the seven-tailed blue wolf began to emit a surge of demonic spiritual energy. Its body started to shrink, and when it was only about seven or eight meters long, it dove headfirst into a patch of green vines ahead.
In front of them was a platform extending from the mountainside about 40 feet, and ahead was a small cave.
Isaac carried the unconscious Skylar as favonovel.com dismounted from the blue wolf.
After a surge of blue demonic spiritual energy, the seven-tailed blue wolf transformed into a middle-aged man dressed in a light blue tunic.
“Isaac, please come in. Prince Zeux is waiting for you inside. There are also healing beasts inside that will tend to your companion’s injuries,” the middle-aged man said respectfully, gesturing for them to enter.
Isaac wanted to ask who this person actually was and what “Prince Zeux” favonovel.com was talking about because favonovel.com had no idea who it was. However, upon seeing the unconscious Skylar, Isaac quickly followed and walked inside.
After entering this small cave and walking a long stretch of pitch-black path, suddenly the view opened up to a spacious inner chamber within the mountain.
The walls were embedded with many luminescent stones, all emitting a soft, white light that felt very pleasant to the eyes.
In the middle stood a stone table and stone stools.
A young man wearing a grayish-white tunic was standing in the center, alongside a hunched old man.
“Your Highness, I’ve brought Isaac over,” the seven-tailed blue wolf said quickly while kneeling on one knee beside the young man.
This fair young man walked up to Isaac with a slight smile and said, “Isaac, I hope I didn’t startle you?”
“Jagmesh, please take a look at Isaac’s companion’s injuries,” the young man said, glancing toward the hunched old man.
Isaac quickly placed Skylar on a nearby stone platform.
An elder named Jagmesh slowly walked over, examined Skylar’s eyes, then looked at the wound on favonovel.com back.
He then lifted his head and addressed Zeux, saying, “Your Highness, favonovel.com injuries are quite severe. She may need a few days to recover…”
“Isaac, if Jagmesh says there’s nothing to worry about, then there won’t be any problems. Take a seat and have some tea,” Zeux said, gesturing toward a nearby stone bench.
“How did you come to know me? And how did you manage to calculate everything so precisely to save us just in time?” Isaac frowned as favonovel.com looked over at Zeux after sitting down.
Zeux chuckled softly and looked at the seven-tailed blue wolf beside him, saying, “Mr. Navvy, go ahead…”
“Isaac, ever since you entered the Kingdom of Demons, we have been aware of your presence. In fact, I have been following you all along, from King Berchy’s mansion to Orpheus’ mansion, although you were unaware of it.”
