"Defeat the Prefect of Eternal Night first?" The cold-blooded youth, Liermons, looked at the black-haired youth in front of him in surprise, his heart skipping a beat.
The stronger a person is, the less they will exaggerate their abilities.
Since this black-haired youth dared to say that, there's no doubt he considered himself stronger than the Prefect of Eternal Night.
"Stronger than the Prefect of Eternal Night?" Liermons was not intimidated at all; instead, his fighting spirit was ignited even stronger. "Alright, then I'll defeat the Prefect of Eternal Night first, and then challenge you!" Liermons replied with a light laugh, and then turned and left.
In fact, Liermons came to Eternal Night City to challenge the Prefect of Eternal Night, but the Prefect of Eternal Night's strongest Divine Clone happened to be traveling and had not returned, so he stayed here a little longer.
The current Prefect of Eternal Night is also an incredibly powerful Asura expert. In the past five hundred million years, a total of four people have challenged him, and all of them were easily killed by him in one move.
Of course, compared to some of the most terrifying Asura powerhouses, the fact that the Prefect of Eternal Night lacks Sovereign Artifact is indeed a weakness. This is why, every now and then, some powerful individuals still come to challenge him.
" The Prefect of Eternal Night?" Liermons returned to his room and began to adjust his state.
He wasn't entirely confident in defeating the Prefect of Eternal Night. But wasn't it precisely because of this uncertainty that it was even more challenging?
After Liermons left, the restaurant returned to its previous state.
However, many people also subtly observed Luo Ao, speculating whether he was also an unparalleled expert.
Luo Ao and Ao ignored the speculations of others and continued their conversation.
" Luo Ao, is this guy really going to challenge the Prefect of Eternal Night?" Echidna had just overheard their conversation and was quite surprised.
In the Infernal Realm, it's not easy to encounter Seven-Star Fiend challenging the Lord of the City. Most challengers are mercilessly killed; not everyone has the courage and confidence to do so.
"Given his personality, he should be capable of doing it, and I reckon he originally came here specifically to take down the Prefect of Eternal Night." Luo Ao still admired Liermons's spirit of continuous progress and advancement.
"In that case, we don't need to rush to leave this Eternal Night City. Let's go watch this exciting duel first." Echidna blinked her beautiful big eyes, instantly showing interest.
"Of course." Luo Ao casually ordered more than a dozen dishes, a smile on his face.
This kind of match, no matter when it takes place, is always the focus of everyone's attention.
Sure enough, the two soon learned that Liermons had already challenged the Prefect of Eternal Night, and the Prefect of Eternal Night had accepted the challenge. The match between the two would begin in three months, at the Ember Mountains, not far from Eternal Night City.
Time flies like water, passing by extremely quickly.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and the streets and restaurants of the entire Eternal Night City were almost deserted, unless something of utmost importance happened. Within the Eternal Night Prefecture, almost everyone who heard about the battle rushed to the Ember Mountains outside the city to await the upcoming epic decisive battle.
Ember Mountains.
As the name suggests, sparks occasionally appear in this mountain range, which then suddenly burst into fierce flames. This has resulted in the entire mountain range being barren, devoid of even weeds, with only some rocks on the ground.
Normally, almost no one comes here, but today it's packed with people.
"Look, that's Lord Liermons, the challenger for this time."
Everyone looked up at the sky with reverence, where a thin, aloof young man with long, blue hair flowing freely in the wind was resting with his eyes closed.
"I wouldn't even dream of catching up to the Prefect of Eternal Night, but if one day I could rival Lord Liermons here, I'd die content." At the edge of the Ember Mountains, a man and a woman, both dressed in purple robes, were discussing this.
A longing gleamed in the young man's eyes. "I also dream of one day having a showdown with the Lord of the Infernal Realm, under the gaze of billions of gods! If I could do that, even if I died, I would have no regrets."
"Stop dreaming." The woman next to her couldn't help but roll her eyes.
The edge of the Ember Mountains was teeming with people, all whispering amongst themselves. A large number of soldiers were maintaining order.
None of the gods watching the battle flew into the air; they all remained on the ground, as a sign of respect for Mr. Liermons and the Prefect of Eternal Night.
"Everyone!" A cheerful voice resounded throughout the Ember Mountains, and everyone watching immediately fell silent.
The speaker was the red-robed elder in charge of this battle. He hovered in mid-air and announced loudly, "This battle is a challenge between the Seven-Star Fiend ' Liermons ' and our Lord. Liermons has already appeared, and next to him, of course, is our Lord, Fafnir!"
Suddenly--
A path parted from the crowd of soldiers gathered in the distance. A red-haired man with crimson eyes, clad entirely in Black Battle Armor, stepped out. This red-haired man had fiery eyebrows and crimson eyes that seemed to glow with intense heat, sending chills down one's spine.
Prefect of Eternal Night - Fafnir!
At this moment, the terrifying red-haired man, who resembled a dormant volcano, suddenly looked at Liermons. Liermons had also opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and full of fighting spirit!
Their eyes met, and an earth-shattering battle was about to begin!
" Luo Ao, who do you think will win between them?" Echidna was also watching from the sidelines, asked Luo Ao telepathically.
" Echidna, do you think I know everything?" Luo Ao smiled calmly. "Let's wait and see. It's too early to talk about who will win or lose."
After the Prefect of Eternal Night also flew up to the sky above the central part of the Ember Mountains and confronted Liermons.
The previously buzzing spectators suddenly fell silent, as if by unspoken agreement. Within three seconds, the Ember Mountains, where over a hundred million gods had gathered, became utterly quiet, save for the howling wind. Everyone looked up at the two figures who were the only ones airborne—
Liermons and the Prefect of Eternal Night!
Fafnir, the Prefect of Eternal Night, was not particularly tall. His blood-red eyes coldly stared at Liermons as he suddenly spoke, " Liermons? I've heard of your reputation, but if you want to challenge me, are you prepared to die?"
"It's too early to say who will die." Liermons had already drawn a black Divine Artifact longsword, looking at Fafnir with high fighting spirit.
"Oh? So you're quite confident in yourself?" Prefect of Eternal Night scoffed noncommittally.
Every guy who dared to challenge him was very confident in himself, but without exception, he killed them all easily!
Of course, he had also heard about Liermons's special abilities. To kill him, he estimated that it would take a drop of the Sovereign’s Might this time.
