Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173 - A Demon Empress in Tow

An Atlantean and a Demon were floating through the dark waters.

The Atlantean had a calm face while the Demon continued to swim around him constantly talking.

"We’re going deeper and deeper into this Abyssal Zone, is that little trident over here?"

"What’s your true form really, little fish? Since you said this world is just your mission, you should be a rare species I haven’t come across before."

"Oh yeah, what was that isolated treasure you used to defend against my full attacks? Let me see it again."

"Hmm, are you already worried about your manhood and aren’t as talkative anymore?"

After the contract had been made and Noah guaranteed his life against this powerful Demon Empress, he had gone back to his loner ways and kept the conversation to a minimum, but Barbatos with her warped mind could not stop talking.

She only ever had undead for companionship over the years as she continued to build up her World of the Dead, and they were the only ones she would crazily talk to aside from the other Rulers of the Demon World.

Noah looked with annoyance at this Phantasmal ranked being that had to aid him now as he said.

"All you need to do is aid me, and I’ll keep my end of the deal in two months. For now, we’ll explore the Abyssal Zone while I take down some of the Deep Sea creatures here."

A light passed through the dark eyes of Barbatos as she replied.

"Yes yes, you seem very interested in killing things, and I’ve noticed their origins quickly being drawn to you when they die. Is this an ability of yours? Hmm?"

The hundreds of years old demon continued to pry secrets from Noah as time passed, wanting to know more about this interesting being. Noah thought for a moment as he knew his movements and skills would be under a lot of scrutiny for the next few days and planned accordingly to make sure Barbatos didn’t learn too much about him.

"I’m actually a connoisseur of sorts, and enjoy trying new things for the worlds I visit. I’ve found the meat of the sea creatures to be delectable, and that’s why I’m collecting them."

Barbatos swam near him as she nodded her head rapidly, the air of the terrible Ruler of the Demon World all but gone as she seemed like an innocent 18 or 19-year-old, though she didn’t believe any of the things Noah was saying. It was this rapid change of personality that many people fell to as they had no idea of the destruction they would face when the personality suddenly changed to a cruel one.

"Wow, you enjoy eating as well? Me too! I just had a little fish a while ago, it made a lot of sounds, and the dinner was interrupted in the end, but I see what you mean."

Noah felt cold sweat trickling down as he recalled the memories of the Skeleton Warrior that showed Barbatos eating a Mythical Atlantean that was most likely a Seeker of Atlantis whole. She had tortured and then ate a Mythical being while he was still alive. It was actions like these that made Noah act all the more carefully around this Demon Empress.

He focused on the task at hand as he kept her rapid questions in the back of his mind, delving deeper into the Abyssal Zone to farm for more higher-ranked skills. He had gained two more Mythical Skills from the death of Barbatos’s Skeleton Warrior that he now learned.

His body that was now boosted by many Mythical ranked skills easily tore apart the hard muscles of the [Killer Whale] as he only used the secret techniques of the Mountain Sea Sect to the fifth form, [Descent of the Emperor], along with using [Hydrokinesis] to heavily restrict the enemy in its home turf. _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}
