The black-robed skeletons in the front hurriedly bowed, their jawbones trembling as they spoke in quavering voices.
"Reporting to my lords..."
"We have served here for countless years and have never seen such a thing, nor do we know the reason. However... one formation seems to have malfunctioned recently. It seems someone once escaped."
"We beg the lords' forgiveness. Only this one formation has developed a flaw; there is nothing we can do..."
Vast numbers of skeletons trembled in fear, not daring to raise their heads at all.
The devils' expressions grew grave as they listened, yet they did not blame them too harshly. It was as though these serving skeletons did not matter in their eyes at all; their limited abilities were hardly unexpected.
After pondering for a long while, Half-faced Skeleton spoke coldly.
"It seems humanity has grown a little stronger as well. They actually managed to break into the Black Domain. This is highly suspicious. I will investigate it personally!"
As one of the few devils who had awakened and recovered his cultivation, Half-faced Skeleton took the lead, his eyes filled with disdain. He did not fear the slightest bit, as though humans would forever be weak and pitiful creatures in his eyes.
Even against Saints, the Devil Race was an overwhelmingly crushing existence!
If not for the Devil Race's grand plan this time, he would never have deigned to go himself.
The moment he spoke, the other devils echoed their agreement.
"Then we shall trouble Skeleton Venerable!"
"We shall guard the Black Domain and await the Devil Master's instructions!"
The massive Bull-headed Demon shadow alone spoke with an appearance of utter loyalty!
"Wait!"
"It has been many years since I last set foot in the outside world. I will go with you and investigate this thoroughly.
