Chapter 236: The Mighty Garrison Leader
The demon sneered and continued to stare at Liam, without batting his eyelids.
Did he even have eyelids? Liam gritted his teeth and tried his best to withstand the pressure. It was as if he couldn't even breathe without the other party's permission.
And it looked like the demon had no plans of making his life easier. He did not show any intention of moving and simply kept standing there.
The ugly grin on his thick lips widened and after a couple of seconds, the demon somehow increased the pressure he was exuding.
This made Liam buckle down and kneel on the ground. A mountain of weight was pressing down on him.
He now understood what the demon was trying to do. He was forcibly trying to make Liam prostrate himself on the ground.
And the pressure weighing him down was constantly increasing bit by bit.
Seeing this Liam did not know whether to laugh or cry. For a Level 150 being, this demon was actually quite weak?
The naga he met was probably several times stronger than this demon because at her level she was still able to have a stronger effect on his soul and body.
Liam did not give up and continued to bear the pressure.
In reality, he couldn't care less if he prostrated himself before this monstrosity.
But he still tried his best because this could potentially have a huge psychological effect on the demon even before their match.
And he definitely needed every advantage that he could get.
Now that he had given this a bit of thinking, Liam already regretted his actions.
If he had instead buckled down and prostrated immediately, he could have tricked the demon into underestimating him.
But since things have progressed to this level, he could now only aim to agitate the creature as much as possible.
'Wait. Why am I able to think suddenly?' Liam was surprised.
Just seconds earlier, a splitting headache was corroding his brain but now he was able to think and decide how to act?
With great difficulty, Liam moved and looked at the demon, only to see a black aura coming out of him.
"Platoon leaders these days are this weak?"
"Where did this arrogant greenhorn come from?"
"Ke Ke Ke. I think this guy must be a divine temple spy! Otherwise why would he be so weak?"
Several ridicules and mockery immediately flew out, all demons trying their best to suck up to the garrison leader.
The leader as well sneered and kicked Liam's body in disdain before walking back to his chair. "I need to go to the abyss to attend to some matters."
"We should-" Completely ignoring Liam, he started to casually discuss other things, but interrupting him, a weak and feeble voice sounded.
"We are not done yet, leader. I officially challenge you to a duel. Hail the great Lord!" Liam shouted, and stood up.
He looked weak and shaky as he balanced himself by leaning on the red brick wall.
Immediately, all the demons inside the hall quieted down in shock and surprise. Even after all of this... the idiot wanted to challenge their leader?
Had he completely lost his mind from the earlier thrashing?
Every single demon in the city knew about their garrison leader's might. It was not just their city, but the entire nether realm in fact knew about their leader's strength.
While Thol city itself was only one of the smaller settlements, their garrison leader, one of the greater demons, was a member of the abyss!
But this idiot still challenged him?
All the demons in the hall were completely astonished by this newbie's stupidity. A mere Level 44 demon was challenging their great leader!
Sitting at the far end of the hall, the garrison leader as well snorted in disdain. He was just as shocked as the others but he was more annoyed.
He did not have time to waste with this insect.
War preparations were underway in full swing so how could he sit here and entertain this insignificant prawn?
However, he was helpless. The rules of the Great Lord had to be followed under all circumstances! Without any exceptions!
And a challenge was a challenge... even if it was given out by a mere insect.
The demon grunted loudly and stood up. "You dared to disturb me today. You will pay the consequences. For wasting my time, you will pay with your life and the lives of your family."
"You there, gather this insect's details and kill every single soldier in his platoon!"
"Hmph! Come forward. Today I will teach you a lesson that you will not forget in your lifetime!"
