"They said they'd secretly prepared a body for me in the Holy Domain. If I accidentally died outside, I could immediately be reborn in that body..."
"Heh, but would that still be me?"
"And the method for creating that body came from the Central Ruins. The Demon King even plainly admitted in the jade slip that this was his first attempt..."
"Your first attempt, my ass... You're completely using my life as an experiment!!"
"As long as Li Yun doesn't die, I can still gamble on those Toad Swallower bastards not knowing the truth and being bluffed by the jade slip in my hand..."
"But if Li Yun dies... those bastards might just jump the wall in desperation!"
"What do I do... What the hell am I supposed to do..."
Varimathras scratched his scalp furiously. His metallic-sheen nails scraped across his coarse hair, sparking tiny arcs of electricity and producing a rapid series of crackles.
"Or... should I go up and help?"
Holding his palm before his single eye, Varimathras looked at the blue arcs dancing across it and muttered, "I'm a high-rank demon, after all. My combat strength is among the best in the Thunder Demon Clan..."
"If I just throw out a few skills from the edge of the battlefield, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
With that thought, Varimathras could not help looking into the distance again.
The enormous mass of threads had somehow shrunk by a third, while the crimson mist spreading across its surface had grown increasingly dense.
The vicious, baleful aura emanating from Li Yun had unknowingly spread all the way to him!
Though the battle zone had contracted, the effective range of the battlefield had expanded even further!
Varimathras swallowed hard.
He suddenly felt that his earlier idea had been a little childish.
