Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 262 Red is the Color of Dread!

AT THE CENTER OF THE DEVOURER TERRITORY, 20,000 METERS UNDER SEA LEVEL.

While the Celestials, Symbolists, and the Devourers were all busy on their schemes, there was another group of people that were also engrossed on something interesting.

Back at the watery depths of their home planet, the Grand Celestial, Grand Symbolist, and the Grand Devourer could be seen together.

They did not go to any of the Moons at all.

Instead, they stayed at their home planet, and they even entered the Devourer Territory!

Right now, these three were at the center of the Devourer Territory, which was actually the bottom of a massive trench.

This trench was around 20 kilometers deep, and the pressure at its bottom was so great that almost no living beings could be seen at this place.

Only the Grand Celestial, Grand Symbolist, and the Grand Devourer were fine at this place, which can be attributed to their personal power.

Each one of them were activating their own powers to resist the horrifying water pressure, and it did not even look like they were worried about the pressure at all.

Instead, these three were worried about something else.

"..."

Right now, all three of them were having a disagreement each other, which was quite apparent from the denial that was present on their faces.

"You go in!"

"No, you do it!"

"No, why don’t she do it?"

If anyone else was here, they will surely shudder, as literal sparks were generated as these three powerful figures continued bickering with each other.

If it were not for the fact that they were still at their own home planet, these three powerful figures could have been fighting right now!

"..."

While the mouths of these three people were busy on their argument, their eyes were focused on a different thing.

Right now, their eyes were glued at a small structure that was located just 100 meters away from their location.

This structure was a bamboo hut, which astonishingly, had kept its integrity and stability even at this kind of place.

Every now and often, the hut could be seen swaying along with the currents that passed through it, but none of these currents were strong enough to topple the hut down!

With just one look, it’s quite obvious that this hut was an unnatural object here at the bottom of the sea.

And for this kind of hut to be at this place meant that this hut was special!

Not only that, but the occasional glances given by the three powerful figures at the hut meant that this hut was the subject of their argument!

"So, you two doesn’t want to enter the hut and greet Master?" The Grand Symbolist said angrily as he glared at the Grand Celestial and the Grand Devourer, who were both crossing their arms. "Are you really that scared of him?"

"Grand Symbolist, you were always the one that had talked to Master, so you should just do the same now." The Grand Celestial replied as he shook his head. "We are not scared of master. It will be just better... if you are the one that will talk to him."

"This sissy here is right. Just do what you always do." The Grand Devourer replied quickly as she let out another burp." You don’t want us messing this thing up, right? If you don’t, then just do it like before!"

"If I die here, you two will be the ones that will pay for it!" The Grand Symbolist said as he started to walk with trepidation towards the bamboo hut.

"You can do it."

"If you will die, then die peacefully."

The Grand Symbolist did his best to ignore these taunts as he stopped in front of the bamboo hut’s door.

He raised his right hand, hesitating for about 5 seconds before he let out a sigh.

But before the Grand Symbolist could knock on the door, a voice came out of the hut, interrupting him.

"What’s with all that fuss? I already knew that you three are here. Why are you still dilly dallying like that? F**king get in!"

The door of the hut then opened, revealing its interior to the three visitors.

All of them gulped nervously before entering the hut, as if they were about to face something terrifying inside it.

"Thud."

Once they had entered, the door of the hut closed shut again, bringing the bamboo hut back to its calm state before.

*************

At the moment that they entered the hut, the Grand Symbolist immediately assumed a kowtowing position, while his other two companions did the same thing behind him.

All three of them kept their heads low as the Grand Symbolist started to talk.

"Master, we are happy to see you alive and well." The Grand Symbolist said as he resisted the urge to look up. "We hope you have been in a better condition these days..."

"Better condition? Heh, if you think 1% of improvement constitutes a better condition, then your statement is technically right." The one who spoke these words was this so-called Master, and the Grand Symbolist could not help but shiver as he heard it.

His master’s voice sounded both charming and sly, making him feel both enchanted and wary.

"This is the 10th time that I have met you three, and I can see that you all have improved in your abilities. That is good. "The ’Master’ continued talking as the other three kept their heads down. "Keep on doing your training, and maybe you will reach the state where you can break the restrictions on this place. Well, that will still depend on your talents..."

Even when we he was praised by his master, the Grand Symbolist did not feel happy at all, Instead, he started to shiver, as he already knew about his Master’s quirks and whims.

If he was happy with you, then he will usually insult you first. But if you displeased him, expect him to be courteous to you.

That is exactly what is happening now, and the Grand Symbolist could only hope that his master’s wrath will be not that much today.

Behind him, the Grand Celestial and the Grand Devourer were both trembling in fear too, as they could understand what the Grand Symbolist was feeling right now.

"You three. Raise your heads and look at me." The master suddenly said, with the tone in his voice indicating that he won’t accept any compromise. "Look at me straight in the eye, and don’t try to look away."

"..."

All three of them managed to not whimper as they raised their heads, with their eyes busy on taking in the full appearance of their master.

"..."

A tall, 8-foot muscular body with red skin.

Two-bat like wings extending from the back.

A long, whip-like tail with a ball of spikes at the end.

3 pairs of tattooed arms.

A pair of curling horns extending from the top of the head.

These are all the features of their ’Master’, and it was, in all sense, an extremely eerie and alien sight.

If Alex was here, he will surely exclaim ’Demon!’, and he was right for saying that.

"We-we, the followers of the Goetic Order, greets you, Oh Majestic One." The Grand Symbolist said as his eyes roved all over the demon-like being’s appearance. "We are happy that you are here to entertain us again as your students."

"Oh come on, call me by my real name!" The demon-like being said as he laughed uproariously. "Could it be that you forgot my name after all these years?"

"Master, we are not worthy enough to speak of your name." The Great Symbolist replied as he shook his head. "Only Demons that are your equal are qualified to do so."

"Hahaha! Good good good!" This time, the laughter that came out of the Demon seemed to be sincere, which made the three prostrating people in front of him heave sighs of relief. "It’s good that you remember that! Nothing good ever happens to those that say my name carelessly!"

"..."

After laughing for some more moments, the Demon let out a relaxed sigh as he sat back on his chair.

"Thud."

He then crossed his legs before he looked back at his ’students’.

His cheerful demeanor suddenly disappeared, as it became cold and merciless.

The Grand Celestial, Symbolist, and Devourer tensed once more, but this time, their tension was more restrained compared to the one that they had before.

"Those followers of yours... they have already gone to the Moons." The Demon slowly said as he rubbed the stubble on his chin. "They must be having their fun there, with all the destruction that they were ordered to do..."

"...."

The Demon’s red skin glistened faintly inside the hut, forcing his three ’students’ to avert their eyes away from him.

"Moon, moon, moon, moon..."

The Demon’s gaze turned somewhat glassy, before it refocused back on his students.

"You three, have you all made enough preparations to ensure that those people will not go to the Red Moon?" The Demon asked as he stared at the Grand Symbolist, as if he was waiting for this man to speak up. "I don’t want anyone of them trying to destroy that place right now."

"We-we did our best, Great One!" The Grand Symbolist replied quickly as he licked his lips. "For one hour, nobody from the Three Factions will be able to approach the Red Moon, not even us!"

The other two people behind the Grand Symbolist nodded their heads too, expressing their agreement with what the Grand Symbolist just said.

Upon seeing this, the Demon looked relieved, which was evident from the deep breath that he just released.

"That’s good. After all, my True Body is still slumbering in that place. I don’ want anyone playing with it while I am still here." The Demon muttered as he continued scratching his chin.

"..." The three people in front of the Demon seemed to be used already to what he just said, but if anyone else had heard the Demon’s words, they will be surely shocked!

After all, this Demon just mentioned something about his True Body being located at the Red Moon!

No matter what these words meant, it surely is something that nobody else should know!

"Hehehe!" The Demon suddenly stood up, making his chair tip over backwards. He then rubbed his hands excitedly as he slowly approached the Grand Symbolist.

His cheerful attitude was back, and it made his students scared again.

The Grand Symbolist looked like he wanted to scoot back, but he held his ground until the Demon was right in front of him.

The Demon’s breath, which was both putrid and disgusting, covered the Grand Symbolist’s face, forcing the Grand Symbolist to choke.

The Demon ignored these harried coughs as he asked the Grand Symbolist a question.

"So, little Symbolist, did you bring the goods for me?"
