His [Demon Heart (Orange)] had originally been obtained from Web Monster Lord Leopold.
Leopold, in turn, had picked it up from the Ruins amid the rubble deep within the Mine.
Thinking back on it now, Zong Shen recalled several unusual details.
First, that [Demon Heart (Orange)] had an extraordinarily long "standby time." Even after more than ten thousand years, it could still release demonic aura with bewitching and frenzy-inducing properties, causing the Web Monster population to become severely Corrupted.
The source of that corruption was not demonic power, but demonic laws!
That was right—it involved the power of lineage laws, a testament to the strength of demon invaders.
Demonic aura was highly contaminating to all non-demon lineages. Prolonged exposure, in particular, could turn them into Corrupted creatures.
Therefore, Zong Shen could conclude that the original owner of that [Demon Heart (Orange)] had definitely been no minor figure.
During the Defense Challenge, he had already witnessed the formidable methods of the vice-legion commander, [Withered Destroyer Artorius LV80].
So just how powerful had the Dreadlord who once served as Legion commander been?
It seemed that a glimpse of the answer could be found in the heart it had left behind.
As far as he knew, the Blood-Burning Demon Legion that had attacked Azshara had included three Dreadlord commanders. The strongest among them had served as the Legion commander.
Dreadlords were a branch lineage among the Blood-Burning Demons. Just as humans were divided into different races by skin color and region, demons also possessed many different branches.
Thus, there were powerful Dreadlord lineages, as well as weaker ones.
Anyone bearing the title of Demon Lord was no insignificant character.
Returning to the matter at hand, that [Demon Heart (Orange)] had only been of Orange Legendary Grade.
That was easy enough to understand. Zong
