Chapter 1669. The Army Comes
After Han Sen returned to the shelter, he asked the Armored Man more about what happened.
Armored Man was very angry, and he had no way of releasing his rage. He started ranting, and Han Sen understood what had happened.
Armored Man was a born-emperor that was actually called Inferno Skeleton Emperor. Ancient Devil destroyed his shelter and claimed his spirit stone. He had no choice but to obey.
But after submitting to the service of Ancient Devil, he was placed inside a chimenea. While imprisoned, he was burned with ice and fire for a very long time. Inferno Skeleton Emperor could not die inside the chimenea, but he had to endure incredible agony the entire time.
Some urgent matter pulled Ancient Devil away, and he left. For a long time, it was only the guardian that was left there, so there was nothing Inferno Skeleton Emperor could do to escape.
But despite all that, he still earned something after the ordeal. During the time he spent in the chimenea, the emperor’s body was reinforced. He also learned to command the powers of ice and fire, as well. When he gained control of the chimenea, he absorbed much more ice and fire. That was how he had made himself an overwhelming contender in Divinity’s Bout.
But before he could gain his revenge and go up against Ancient Devil, Han Sen claimed him and trapped him inside Destiny’s Tower.
Armored Man didn’t know much about Headless Rockman and Destiny’s Tower, but he knew that the feud between Headless Rockman and Ancient had been going on since before he was forced to serve Ancient Devil.
One thing Han Sen learned, however, was that Ancient Devil was apparently afraid of Destiny’s Tower and Headless Rockman. And Ancient Devil was unable to defeat Headless Rockman who controlled it. When Inferno Skeleton Emperor was made free, so was Destiny’s Tower.
