Chapter 201: A chance to start over
In the world of Glory Lords X, the seas and the land alike are plagued by a mysterious phenomenon known as the Demon Fog. Once it rolls in, the area it covers becomes completely obscured—unless you’ve got some rare magical means or specialized tools, you can’t see a damn thing through it.
That’s exactly why the Demon Fog zones out at sea have become the perfect natural hideouts for pirates. Like a curtain drawn over their secrets, it keeps them safe from prying eyes.
But the ocean’s no playground. It’s crawling with mutated deep-sea monsters, elite combat units, and relentless natural disasters. And when you throw the Demon Fog into the mix? It’s like giving a tiger wings—deadlier than ever.
Anyone foolish enough to charge in blindly is basically signing their own death warrant. Best-case scenario? You crawl out with heavy losses.
Just like Draven, the three Pirate Kings who haunt the coastal waters near the Unicorn Duchy have all stashed their main bases deep within the Demon Fog. It’s the perfect cover.
And they’re not stupid—they’ve got multiple hideouts scattered around, just in case. Never put all your treasure in one chest, right?
Take Darek, for example—he’s the most elusive of the three Pirate Kings. Even Draven and the third king, Seyric, have no clue where Darek’s real base is. Every place they’ve seen? Just decoys. Disposable outposts he can abandon at a moment’s notice.
Right now, Draven’s fleet is cutting through the waves, heading straight into the heart of the Demon Fog.
On the deck, Ethan stood with a half-smile, watching Draven sweat bullets.
"Three Legendary-tier Kirin units, twenty Tier-12 Royal Naga Swordmasters, and fifty Tier-11 Royal Naga Swordsmen. And that’s just part of your forces? Damn, I gotta say—I didn’t expect you to be packing this much heat."
He wasn’t wrong to be impressed. Draven had already lost two Kirin to Ethan, and yet he still had three more? That meant this wasn’t even the full extent of his power.
