Chapter 293
Chen Rui’s heart sank: Didn’t Fatilu take Freya out of the valley and head to the Bloody Vine City? Why did they fall into Azgalor’s hand?
Azgalor took a look at the chaotic scene around him and dropped Fatilu and Freya on his hands . The intimidating light from his eyes was very intense, “Who are you?”
Chen Rui thought quickly . Just now, Azgalor already saw me launching a signal flare and intercepted it . Denying certain things are impossible . Not to mention that the signal was intercepted before it was fully sent out . I don’t even know whether Catherine can receive it . Now I can only find a way to escape .
Azgalor’s eyes flashed coldly, “Answer or die!”
Chen Rui felt that a terrifying breath was instantly pressing onto him . In the state of [Scorching Dragon Possession] and the equipment on his body, he actually couldn’t resist it . His body suddenly started to shiver . Besides, the breath was constantly getting stronger . The huge pressure from all directions made him feel suffocated . He felt like an overstretch bow which might break at any time .
Except the legendary God or Demi-God, Demon Overlord was truly at the top of the Demon Realm’s pyramid!
This wasn’t the first Demon Overlord he faced . Previously, there were the Earth Elemental King, Glorfin, Christina, Catherine, Paglio, Manu, and the crystal dragon .
However, Glorfin and the Earth Elemental King had been exhausting each other for 400 years so, and they were extremely weak; by the end of Christina’s [Nirvana], he was already unconscious; he only felt Catherine’s power with a glimpse at the mechanic contest’s finals; Paglio’s strength was sealed; neither Crystal Dragon nor Manu had shown their actual strength .
It was only now that he truly faced a Demon Overlord enemy, Azgalor!
“Richard . ” Chen Rui finally said . With the huge disparity in strength, he definitely couldn’t rival now . He must fight for time to escape . At present, he couldn’t even save himself . As for Freya, he could only rescue later .
Before going to the Mystic Valley to deal with Sabrina and Izola, Chen Rui cast a skill in the lab at the Nightware Valley, [Star Gate] .
[Star Gate] (active Skill) – After setting a star point, the user can open the [Star Gate] within the effective range to return to the star point; cannot be used by others; star point is effective for at most a month; can be used repeatedly; star point setting consumes 1000 auras; each usage consumes 500 auras .
The star point was set in a hidden place outside the Crystal Valley . It was set when Sabrina accompanied him out of the valley to “research” the Dragon Inscription a few days ago . At that time, he immediately returned with Sabrina after “researching”, so it didn’t raise any suspicions . Unfortunately, [Star Gate] couldn’t be used other than the user . Therefore, he could only let Freya leave with Fatilu .
It wasn’t too far away from the lab . It was just a short sprint . However, this “close” distance was indeed as far as worlds apart now . It was enough for Azgalor to kill him thousands of times .
Therefore, Chen Rui couldn’t act rashly nor could he let Azgalor find out his last resort . “Dark Will” wasn’t very useful in this Crystal Valley that was covered with Dragon Inscription . The location he could teleport and distance were greatly restricted . Besides, even if he could teleport, it might not work in the face of Demon Overlod’s strength .
He remembered that when he was at Mount Xilang’s underground world, “Dark Will” couldn’t work in Glorfin’s territory . Even Broc had the ability to limit the teleportation ability of this equipment .
“Richard? The chaos in the Crystal Valley must be created by you, am I right? Also, the blood on your body… smells like Sabrina . ” Azgalor’s gaze added a cold killing intention, tightly locking onto Chen Rui, “No wonder I feel that Izola’s and Sabrina’s flame of life disappeared . Did both of them die in your hands?”
Chen Rui was taken aback . He never thought Azgalor also had such a perception secret technique . This is over . After learning that both his wives were killed by me, he’ll probably kill me immediately . There was already a little gold man in his hand behind him . It was the golden [War Puppet] that Christina gave him .
Can this puppet block Azgalor’s attack? There’s no other way . I can only bet on it!
Although Fatilu and Freya were unable to move on the ground, they remained awake . Fatilu was still fine, but when Freya heard about Sabrina’s death, she was greatly shocked: No wonder the [Soul Shackles] that has been suppressing me suddenly disappeared . Previously, Master “Arthur” once said that he’ll help Kia and I remove the [Soul Shackles], but I didn’t expect it was by killing Sabrina! Since Azgalor said that Sabrina was killed by this stranger, could this man and Master “Arthur” be…
However, that murderous intention gradually withdrew . Then, he heard Azgalor say, “I can let you live . ”
Chen Rui held the golden puppet tightly . He chooses to not avenge his wives’ deaths?
“You have to exchange your life for something equivalent for example…” Azgalor’s eyes fell onto Fatilu on the ground, “God-Eating Mask?”
Surely, the [Puppetry] from the God-Eating Mask couldn’t be concealed from Azgalor . He must have known that [Puppetry] was irreversible . Adding Fatilu, he had to avenge for both his wives and daughter’s deaths . Chen Rui thought quickly and shook his head, “I don’t understand what you meant . ”

As soon those words ended, the horrifying pressure around him suddenly increased . Chen Rui felt that the blood vessels in his body were about to burst . The [Dark Star Territory] which was still within the time limit appeared again . The pressure instantly reduced significantly .
Azgalor frowned slightly . The territory was a bit strange . With his Demon Overlord strength, he actually couldn’t completely suppress it . For a man whose strength could barely be regarded as an early Demon Emperor (actually wrong assumption) to have such odd territory, his potential was remarkable .
“I’ve studied [Puppetry] for 200 years, and I’ve made countless puppets, but most of them have ended in failure . A puppet like this, with its own leading consciousness yet faithfully executing all the master’s orders with no possibility of betrayal…” Azgalor’s sight locked on Fatilu . His strange gaze seemed to be looking at a valuable puppet rather than his own daughter, “Other than the God-Eating Mask, nothing in this world can make such a perfect puppet!”
“If I have the God-Eating Mask and can even use it, can I confirm my status in the Beelzebub Royal Family?” Chen Rui thought quickly . [Earth Wall], [Earth Spike], [Gravity] and various other magic appeared one after another . All of them were cast without chanting, proving toward Azgalor a certain mastery of the Beelzebub Royal Family .
“Certainly…” Azgalor’s eyes were intertwined with fanaticism and coldness, “However, it’s useless . No matter who you are or who your father is or even if you’re recognized by the God-Eating Mask, the King of Beelzebub has always been one and that’s me! You have no other way to stay alive other than surrendering the God-Eating Mask . ”
“There is hope in life,” Chen Rui made a pondering look . “I promise you . However, the mask isn’t with me . Can we talk about the conditions in detail?”
“I can tell you’re someone who likes to scheme . ” Azgalor’s tone became more eerie, “However, I don’t have this patience . I prefer using action to prove determination . ”
As soon as he said that, Fatilu and Freya’s bodies floated together . Immediately after, Fatilu’s body began to tremble violently . “Poom!” Her body bursted apart with no traces left .
Chen Rui’s pupils contracted . Even if she’s a puppet, she is still her daughter after all . Azgalor actually destroyed Fatilu without hesitation!
“Not to mention she’s a Leviathan Royal Family, she is worthless even if she’s a Beezlebub Royal Family . Since she has become your puppet, she serves no value… Perhaps I should say, proving my determination is her only value left . ” Azgalor’s eyes fell onto Freya, “This woman isn’t a puppet, but you make the puppet take her away . She must have important value to you . Do I need to prove it again?”
“No need . ” Chen Rui’s heart sank . Azgalor’s cruelty was beyond imagination . He could give up his avenge for his wives and daughter’s deaths for the God-Eating Mask . He even destroyed his own daughter personally . Even if he lied that he was related to Glorfin, it might still be hard to escape .
Judging from the current situation, it was unrealistic to use God-Eating Mask as a bargaining chip to take Freya away . Azgalor would definitely kill them as soon as he got the mask . Not to mention that the God-Eating Mask had been integrated into the Super System . He didn’t know how to take it off yet .
“Can you let me consider?” Chen Rui looked serious . Then, he took a look at Freya, “This woman is indeed a little valuable, but compared to my life, he is insignificant . However… God-Eating Mask… you also know what it represents to us . At such a place, it’s impossible that I’ll bring it with me . Yet, I can tell you where the artifact is . ”

“One minute . ” Azgalor didn’t give him time to use his eloquence .
It seemed he could no longer delay . Chen Rui took a deep breath . Suddenly, there was something in his hands behind his back . It turned out that many crystal men had moved closer to them .
Azgalor raised his eyebrows slightly, “I never thought even the puppet’s heart is in your hands! I think I already understand your answer . ”
“Don’t rush . It hasn’t been a minute yet . I want to witness the strength of a Demon Overlord first . ” Chen Rui made up his mind . Several crystal men charged toward Azgalor while he was prepared to escape .
Azgalor didn’t even look at the crystal men who were pouncing at him . He stretched out a finger and drew a circle . Under the influence of a certain force, a faint wave of smoke spread on the ground . The force field seemed boring and harmless . Yet, the movement of the crystal men in the range were all paused . Almost in the blink of an eye, all the crystal men exploded at the same time .
Chen Rui was secretly shocked . Two of these crystal men were leader-level, that was, Great Demon King . He didn’t expect they would be instantly killed with one finger . Azgalor’s eyes had always locked onto him tightly . That formless spiritual pressure made him almost feel like yielding to Azgalor .
As the God-Eating Mask is too important, although this enemy is only a Demon Emperor, Demon Realm has many secret techniques of self-destruction, including the “results” of the Mystic Valley . If he is determined to die, it’ll be worthless .
Judging from the opponent’s stubborn resistance, Azgalor’s thoughts of getting the whereabouts of the artifact or threatening him by force had failed . He could only capture Chen Rui quickly .
Azgalor was determined and ignored Freya, who fell to the ground . His figure flickered, and he had appeared in front of Chen Rui in an instant, grabbing toward him . Chen Rui felt that the surrounding space seemed to be distorted . He couldn’t move his body at all . Fortunately, he didn’t use [Teleportation] in the battle with Sabrina just now . He immediately made up his mind and teleported to a distant place .
Azgalor looked surprised . That catch contained some kind of mysterious power of law . Even the talent of the Great Demon family couldn’t be cast, but this “clanmate” actually had such a mutated talent that could overcome the Demon Overlord’s law and teleport to a safe place .
Although he was surprised, the difference in strength between the two was still too huge . Azgalor still had absolute confidence to easily capture Richard Beelzebub .
In any case, there can only be one King of Gluttony, and the owner of the artifact is me, Azgalor Beelzebub .

Chen Rui’s teleporting direction was the Nightmare Valley . The teleporting distance after [Scorching Dragon Possession] was far greater than the normal state, but there was still a distance to the lab at the Nightmare Valley . As long as he could enter the [Star Gate] in the lab, he could definitely escape from the danger .
As for Freya, he really couldn’t do anything this time . However, he already mentioned Freya had considerable value to him . As long as he could escape successfully, Azgalor would definitely keep her alive for the God-Eating Mask .
If Chen Rui was caught, Freya would probably die .
If he relied on [Teleportation] alone, he definitely couldn’t reach his destination . This journey was truly racing against death .
Azgalor caught up with Chen Rui’s teleporting distance in just one step . However, the opponent’s [Teleportation] that went against law appeared again . The man escaped from his hand again .
“Interesting!” Azgalor said calmly while the killing intention in his heart became more intense . Mysterious skill, great potential and the very likely special “identity”… This man cannot live . Otherwise, he’ll be the greatest threat to my dominance of the Beelzebub Royal Family .
Chen Rui didn’t know that he became the biggest target of the King of Beelzebub innocently . In fact, he didn’t want to use both his [Teleportation] so quickly, but there was no other way because the pressure from his opponent’s movement was too huge . If he acted one second slower, he would be caught .
Now that both of his [Teleportation] had used up, Chen Rui immediately infused his strength into the golden [War Puppet] given by Christina without thinking, then he threw it at Azgalor .
Azgalor felt that a golden light was coming . As he was about to block it simply with his hand, he was suddenly alerted . He immediately disappeared and dodged . Then, the golden light had turned into a two-meter-high humanoid attacking Azgalor .
Chen Rui once witnessed the bronze [War Puppet] from Christina and Casillas, who were both from the Lust Royal Family . They were both huge in size and at least 5 meters in height . In contrast, this golden puppet seemed a lot smaller . It was similar to the form of a real person . Its eyes were even emitting a faint red light . However, the remaining facial features were very vague, and there were a lot of strange patterns engraved on its body .
“Golden puppet!” Azgalor blurted out . He obviously was a knowledgeable person . The golden puppet was the highest grade [War Puppet] from the Asmodeus Royal Family . It had the combat power comparable to Demon Overlord . Besides, it was extremely hard to deal with because it was lifeless and had no feeling of fatigue .
Could it be that “Richard” who has God-Eating Mask actually abandoned the dignity of the Beelzebub Royal Family and turned to the Dark Shadow Empire?
Bad body Richard 😤, you abandoned the Beelzebub Royal Family that was going to killed you? 🤪
