CHAPTER 804 THE INNER FIEND

Darren quickly flew out of the cave.

He saw the monkey getting beaten by Finley.

"What the hell is happening?" Darren whispered to himself. He telepathically sent a message to Finley.

"Stop this. This monkey may possess more power than we can fathom."

Hearing this, Finley stopped. He remembered that the monkey's aura was indeed that of a powerful

warrior when they first met him. He took a step back.

"Well, well, well. This must be your lucky day." Finley let the monkey go.

"Mark my words. I will have my revenge. Unless you let me take a few hits at you both now, you will live

to regret hurting me!"

the monkey said, groaning in pain.

"Come on! Let's see what you've got." Finley waved his hand, daring him to come closer.

"You bastard!" The monkey looked away. "Forget it. This isn't worth it."

The monkey huddled himself into a corner. He grew silent.

Darren studied him for a while and suddenly thought of Pasquale, the Giant Ape. Perhaps he knew the

monkey's origin.

"Finley, be nice. Wait for me. I need to find someone," Darren said. He concentrated his spiritual sense

and entered the Purgatorial Tripod.

Darren soon arrived at the home of the Giant Ape. He immediately saw Pasquale.

"Sir, I've been visiting the Raksa Sea these days,"

Darren said.

"Really?" Pasquale, who was dozing off, suddenly lifted his head up. In doing so, he hit the rocks

above his head.

"Darren, are you going to save my master? How many true rules have you comprehended?" Pasquale

asked, rubbing his head.

He began to probe Darren's rule cultivation base.

"How could this be? Darren, I can't believe you lost all your rule cultivation base. Your Spirit Power has

even returned to normal!"

"In order to avoid the thunder punishment of Rule and Martial Arts Cultivation, my rule cultivation base

has been transferred to my avatar. I have something more important to tell you. I met a strange monkey

just now. I can sense his power but he doesn't appear threatening at all!"

Darren said.

Pasquale was silent. He seemed to be thinking deeply.

"It must be him..."

Pasquale suddenly shivered.

"Who is he?"

"He is the Inner Fiend, the avatar of my master." Pasquale's eyes widened.

"What!" Darren was shocked. The monkey turned out to be related to Barnes the Holy!

"Sir, could you please tell me more?" Darren said hurriedly.

Pasquale let out a deep sigh. He seemed to remember something.

"When my master was born, the weather became quite strange. Even powerful creatures who were in

hiding came out to see him. They tried to put an end to his life.

Over the last thirty thousand years, my master has been on the run. He hated those creatures for their

attempt on his life and slowly, his hatred turned into an Inner Fiend.

As the Inner Fiend grew, it seemed like my master descended further and further into madness. He

became so thirsty for blood and hunted down every last one of those who tried to hurt him. Whenever

he killed, the Inner Fiend grew stronger and in turn, made him stronger too.

However, pretty soon, my master's Inner Fiend attempted to overpower and consume him. When my

master realized this, he realized he must go against his Inner Fiend. After a long battle, my master

realized he could not kill him. Although it was extremely painful, he made sure that the Inner Fiend was

no longer within him.

After he was expelled, the Inner Fiend wreaked havoc. He was a puppet freed from his strings. He

went on a murderous rampage, and my master could do little to stop him.

However, it seemed that somewhere along the way, the Inner Fiend encountered trouble and sought

my master's help. Master turned him down, of course. He left with hatred inside him and his demonic

intent increased again. I had heard that he was finally suppressed by some strange force and could

never retrieve his power again."

Pasquale let out a long breath.

"I've heard all of this from my master, but I've never seen his Inner Fiend.

According to your description, he is much like the Inner Fiend in my master's narration. I think that he is

the Inner Fiend, and I didn't expect him to be trapped in the Raksa Sea,"

Pasquale added. Darren was shocked.

'The mad monkey is very likely to be the Inner Fiend of Barnes the Holy. His strength is almost the

same as that of Barnes the Holy, so it is not to be taken lightly, ' Darren thought to himself.

"The monkey seems weak now. However, it can kill a powerful creature. How is that possible?" Darren

asked in confusion.

"As far as I'm concerned, all the fiend creatures will submit to the Inner Fiend by their nature. They

must be intimidated by his powerful evil aura and can't exert any power at all. They may only be at his Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

mercy. The Inner Fiend may only appear weak to you because he is still being suppressed by that

mysterious force. As long as your fiendish nature is not that powerful, he can't hurt you," Pasquale

analyzed.

"I think you're right," Darren nodded in agreement. He seemed convinced with Pasquale's conclusion.

"We are also troubled by one other thing... We are trapped in the cave and can't get out," Darren said.

"You said that you were in the place holding the Inner Fiend. As long as the Inner Fiend is in it, it will

have infinite restriction power and you will not be able to leave. Even if the rule emperor were here to

help, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to go around that.

Although suppressed, his fiendish nature is up to the emperor's level. The suppression effect is as

powerful as that of the emperor's. One could hardly break such a powerful restraint."

"Thank you for your explanation, sir. As long as he cannot exert his strength to its fullest extent, at least

we will be safe. We are not so worried.

I will go back and try to find a way out. If I am lucky enough to get out of there, I will try my best to find

your master and save him." Darren saluted.

"You have lost your rule cultivation base. Even if you find my master, you can't break the shackle runes

that bind him," Pasquale sighed.

"Don't worry, sir. My friend's rule cultivation base is much better than mine. He will be able to deal with

it," Darren said.

"Really? That's good. Be careful. I believe in you guys!" Pasquale nodded, flashing a small smile.

Darren returned to the cave.

"How is it going?" Finley flew to him.

"Ha, don't worry. This monkey can't hurt us," Darren said with a smile.

"How come?"

Darren filled Finley in on his conversation with the Giant Ape.

'I didn't expect this crazy monkey to be so powerful.' Finley began thinking to himself.

"This is good news. If the monkey hasn't been suppressed by the mysterious force, he would have

been able to kill me already." Finley let out a sigh of relief.

"It seems that you have found out my identity. Come on! It's time to kneel down and kowtow to me," the

monkey said arrogantly.

"Watch your mouth. It will get you in trouble."

Darren and Finley walked towards him and began kicking him around.

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!" The monkey let out cries of pain.
