CHAPTER 1478 ARRIVAL OF THE KINGS
It was only thanks to the Rule Soul Avatar that Todd and Murray managed to recover enough to take
action once more.
However, they hesitated to attack the gate. Anxiously, they both turned to face Darren.
"Darren, if we open the gate of the Second Dangerous Area, I'm afraid the Five Kings will find out about
this and come here in no time," Todd said apprehensively.
This indeed was a cause for concern.
Darren had been so caught up in saving Yolanda he failed to consider this before.
The Five Kings had coveted the Five Dangerous Areas for a long time. If the gate of the Second
Dangerous Area was tampered with, they'd definitely catch wind of it.
"That'd be great, actually,"
the Rule Soul Avatar suddenly cut in when he saw that Darren had fallen silent.
"Great?" Darren echoed in confusion. Frowning, he asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"If the kings come here, powerful warriors in tow, and break into the Second Dangerous Area by
themselves, then that'll save us a lot of effort," the Rule Soul Avatar explained calmly.
Upon hearing this, the other three's eyes widened as they realized what the Rule Soul Avatar meant.
The metal creatures in the Second Dangerous Area didn't give a damn about who came in; they would
attack any intruders.
If the kings brought their master warriors here, they would take on the brunt of their attacks.
"Xavier is right," Murray said. "But don't forget that if they get to the center of the array, they will
successfully occupy the Second Dangerous Area."
Of course, there were cons to the kings' arrival.
The center of the array was hidden somewhere within the Second Dangerous Area. Whoever found it
would become the ruler of the Second Dangerous Area.
Although the pressure on Darren and the others would be lessened if the kings showed up, so would
their chances of finding the center of the array.
"We didn't have much of a chance of occupying the Second Dangerous Area in the first place. Let them
fight for it. Our priority is to save Aunt Yolanda," Darren said firmly.
"Darren is right. We can save Mrs. Chu, but the chances of us finding the center of the array are slim.
Let the others fight over it. Even if the Second Dangerous Area is taken over, there are still the Third,
the Fourth and the Fifth Dangerous Areas," Todd chimed in.
"If that's the case, then let's break through the gate quickly and enter the Second Dangerous Area
before those guys arrive," Murray replied with a nod.
There was no need to dilly-dally any longer. If the kings arrived earlier, they were likely to attack Darren
first.
Todd and Murray then hurriedly flew away and began to attack the gate once more.
Not long after the two of them left, the Rule Soul Avatar sensed something off.
"Someone is coming..."
Using his acute Spirit Power, the Rule Soul Avatar sensed many powerful auras approaching the place
from outside.
Darren and the others had spent a lot of time here, so it wasn't surprising that others had caught wind
of their movements.
"Let's go!"
Sensing how the powerful auras were closing in on them fast, the Rule Soul Avatar and Darren headed
towards where Todd and Murray were.
Just as the two of them left, dozens of powerful figures landed in the First Dangerous Area.
They seemed to come from five different forces, seeing how there were five styles of clothing.
"Our king was right! They are actually going to open up the Second Dangerous Area. Ha ha!" one of
them sneered.
"Humph, don't be complacent. Even if it is opened, it'll be our force who will take it over. You don't have
a chance," the leader of another group growled.
"Everyone, I have no qualms with you. Our king, Seth, only ordered us to kill Darren and Todd. That's
all." The master who had just spoken came from the south, Seth's territory.
Back then, Darren and Todd had killed four of their men. While the other three forces didn't usually give
a damn about their subordinates, Seth was different. He cared deeply about Grady; after all, they'd
been through a lot together in the past tens of thousands of years!
Therefore, he had sent his warriors solely to take revenge on Darren and Todd.
"Don't be so stupid. Todd is the God of Sword. How would you possibly kill him? What's more, what do
you think we're here for?" Another warrior spoke up. It was one of the North King, Juan's warriors.
Todd and Juan were like brothers. There was no way he'd stand by and watch if he knew Todd was in
danger.
"Shut up, all of you! Just who do you think you are? You are all a bunch of losers, yet you claim you will
kill this one, or protect that one, blah blah blah. Try to assess your actual strength before making such
bold claims!"
Someone from the eastern force spoke bitterly. They all felt helpless, thinking that even if they made it
into the Second Dangerous Area, how could they possibly make a difference?
Among these five forces, there was only one deputy god in each team, who served as their leader. The
others were either at the upper-level or at the top level of the Superior God Realm.
At that level of strength, they could easily be killed in the Second Dangerous Area.
Yet they kept talking big about killing Todd, who could kill them in one strike.
The other four forces looked at the people from the eastern force incredulously.
"Are you saying your king isn't coming?" someone dared to ask.
"Humph, no comment!"
The people from the eastern force exchanged nervous glances. They had inadvertently revealed their
secret, putting themselves in danger!
If the other forces knew that their king wasn't coming, then they were in grave danger. The others
would definitely kill them off without hesitation.
The people from the eastern force all bore anxious expressions. Belonging to .
To make things worse, the people of the other four major forces all stared at them, which made them
even more nervous.
"Ha ha, your king isn't coming! Otherwise, why else would you be so nervous?"
"Bullshit! What do you plan to do? Attack us?" The people from the eastern force pretended to be
confident and began to release their killing intent.
"They are bluffing! Do it! Kill them!" barked a subordinate of the West King. The masters in his force
had always been on the arrogant side, so they charged at the warriors from the eastern force without
hesitation.
Boom! Boom!
The earth shook as explosions burst out of nowhere. Not only did the people from the west fail to
attack, but they were all blown backwards.
A slender figure in a yellow robe suddenly emerged, followed by four other figures.
The Five Kings had arrived!
"Ah, it's our king!" The people of the eastern force almost wept with joy. Their king had finally come!
The Five Kings simultaneously looked into the distance to observe the situation at the gate of the
Second Dangerous Area.
"Juan, you cheeky devil. You have two fierce warriors in your force," teased the East King.
After studying for a while, he found that there were actually two masters attacking the gate, both of
whom were Juan's subordinates. He cursed silently at Juan's cunningness.
Dressed simply and stout, Juan didn't look like a king. He looked like a peasant.
He too sensed that two powerful auras were attacking the gate, Todd and another man. To his surprise,
he didn't know the other man at all.
"That man is clearly a spear master. I didn't expect you to have such a master under your command,
Juan. Are you planning on killing all of us some day?" said another king, forcing a fake smile.
"You two, quit being so cynical. I don't have such a person in my force. He must be a friend of Todd's.
He has nothing to do with me," Juan explained with a shrug.
"Humph! I don't care how many powerful masters you have. I'm only here to kill Darren and Todd. If any
of you objects, I will fight with you till death,"
Seth said firmly, although his expression showed how depressed he actually was.
"Go ahead. We're not here to stop you. Right, Juan?" the East King said playfully.
Juan knew that what Seth had said just now was for him to hear, because he was Todd's friend.
"Of course I won't stop you. If you think you can kill him, then do it. But hear this: if Todd dies, I will do
everything in my power to avenge him. Do you understand?" Juan shot Seth a cold glare. At this
moment, his kingly aura finally burst out.
