Chapter 243: Enemy attack!!
It was pretty obvious now—after Ethan activated his [Holy Armament], his appearance really did resemble the Angels from the Castle faction. No wonder the Bronze Golem, Karnak, had mistaken him for one of them... thought he was an Angel.
Not that it mattered much. Ethan was here to help them anyway.
"Calm down," Ethan said, his voice low and steady. "Take it slow. Tell me exactly what happened. Where’s this Infernal Lord you mentioned?"
"Yes, sir..." Karnak took a deep breath, then launched into a full recount of everything that had gone down.
When he finished, his face was still tight with worry. He pressed on urgently, "Honored Angel, our people are scattered all over this dimensional rift. If Malphas’s forces find them, they’ll be slaughtered for sure! Especially Lord Thalrun—he’s already badly wounded. If Malphas or his Efreet and Efreet Sultans catch up to him, I fear..."
"I get it," Ethan nodded grimly. He turned to The Tidebreaker, Paxton, who stood beside him, his expression just as serious. "Paxton, we’ll split up. Kyros can hold things down here. You and I—we’re going after Infernal Lord Malphas."
No way was Ethan about to charge off alone to face Malphas.
Even Thalrun—a Diamond Golem and once a Crimson Ultimate hero—had been beaten half to death by Malphas. That alone told Ethan just how terrifying this Infernal Lord really was.
And Malphas wasn’t alone. According to Karnak, he had hundreds of Efreet and Efreet Sultans with him—at least half of them were 12-Tier Royal Units!
Hundreds of 12-Tier Royals, all under the command of a Legendary orange-tier hero from their own race?
Yeah, Ethan knew exactly what that meant.
