Chapter 436 - 437: Now! Take Action!
Aster Grant watched the scene from afar, his eyes full of coldness.
Only by witnessing the plight of the Human Race firsthand did he understand their status in this world.
Like pigs and dogs!
At this moment, the old miner standing beside Aster.
He trembled violently with extreme fear, his teeth chattering:
"Divi...Divine Envoy, the two on the high platform are the leaders of the whole mine."
Aster wasn’t surprised to see the old miner’s reaction.
It seems the Demon Clan has left an indelible shadow in their hearts.
However, today he was here to shatter that shadow.
"Is there any way to get close to them without causing too much commotion?"
After all, the first step of the plan was to approach these two Totem-level Demon Clan.
Upon hearing this, the old miner suppressed the fear in his heart.
He recalled the rules in the mine and answered shakily:
"Usually... only those miners who disobey orders and cause trouble are escorted to the high platform by the Demon Soldiers."
"Those two leaders will execute them in the most brutal manner in public!"
"Only... only at such times can one get closest to them."
Upon hearing this, Aster nodded.
Then he looked down at his current status...
Although his Soul Body was solid, in such a mixed lighting environment, it was still easy to attract attention.
He focused his mind and wrapped the tattered mining robe around him tighter.
The wide brim of the hat covered most of his face, leaving only a vague outline.
The illusory feel of the Soul Body became less conspicuous under the dim light and the cover of the ragged cloth.
With his preparations complete.
Aster’s gaze swept across a Commander Level Demon Clan overseer not far away, who was whipping and scolding the miners.
He bent down slightly, picked up a sharp-edged piece of ore fragment from the ground.
The next moment, he flicked his wrist sharply!
"Whoosh—!"
The piece of ore flew with a sharp sound, precisely aimed at the back of the Demon Clan overseer’s head!
"Snap!"
A crisp sound!
Although the ore didn’t break through the Demon Clan’s defense.
But the sudden attack instantly ignited the demon’s fury!
"Roar!! Which damned wretch?! Dares to ambush me!"
The Demon Clan overseer turned abruptly, his blood-red eyes scanning the crowd like searchlights.
He quickly locked onto Aster, who maintained a throwing posture, his mouth seeming to carry a trace of mockery under the brim!
"It’s you, you despicable wretch! Courting death!"
The Demon Clan overseer roared in fury, his enormous demon claw tearing through the air, advancing towards Aster!
Although he was the lowest level in this mine’s Demon Clan, to slaughter a miner who dared to challenge him...
For him, it was as easy as crushing an ant!
As he saw the attack coming, Aster did not resist, even deliberately restrained all his aura.
He allowed the demon claw to clasp onto his shoulder, lifting him off the ground.
"Hmph! A reckless fool! Perfect to make an example!"
The Demon Clan overseer sneered, clamping the helpless Aster, striding swiftly towards the central high platform.
This scene instantly attracted the attention of all miners and demons in the cave.
A subtle disturbance arose among the crowd.
Countless gazes focused on Aster.
Filled with sympathy, fear.
Another unfortunate fellow, to be publicly executed?
The old miner watched this scene from the shadows afar, his heart almost jumping out of his throat.
His hands clutched tightly, nails digging deeply into his palms.
Although he knew this was part of the plan, witnessing the Divine Envoy being so roughly escorted by the Demon Clan, he still felt immense worry.
On the high platform, the two Totem-level Demon Clan, who had been conversing in low voices, also stopped talking.
Their gaze fell on Aster, who was being escorted up.
Another reckless wretch!
They had already executed hundreds of such daring wretches!
It was perfect timing for their new order that needed a wretch to make an example!
Yet, as Aster was escorted up the platform, less than ten feet away from them...
The two Totem-level Demon Clan furrowed their brows almost simultaneously, a hint of doubt flashing in their eyes!
Something’s wrong!
Although this miner on the platform appeared tattered and his aura weak.
They felt a sense of crisis welling up in their hearts.
This human made them feel a faint... sense of threat!
This feeling was extremely weak, yet genuinely present!
At their level, perceptions of danger were never baseless.
The seemingly ordinary miner before them was definitely not as simple as he appeared!
One of the demons spoke in a low voice:
"What’s going on?"
The Commander Level Demon Clan overseer promptly bowed and replied:
"To report, my lords! This two-legged lamb dared to ambush me with a stone!"
"He deserves to die ten thousand times! I have brought him here for your judgment!"
Upon hearing this, the other Totem-level Demon Clan slightly squinted his eyes.
He scrutinized Aster, who kept his head down, silent.
Trying to discern the source of that threat.
Yet, under Aster’s powerful spiritual power’s complete restraint.
This demon couldn’t detect anything unusual.
"Raise your head!"
The cave fell into a dead silence, the Totem-level Demon Clan’s voice was crystal clear.
Some astute miners also faintly sensed that the atmosphere on the platform seemed unusually heavy.
Aster kept his head down as if petrified with fear.
But he had already sent the final command via temporary contract to Isabelle within the Beastbond Space:
"Isabelle, prepare... Law Body!"
Within the Beastbond Space, The Dragon Maiden Isabelle’s delicate body trembled sharply.
Anxiety instantly filled her eyes!
What to do?
What to do?
She could vividly perceive the two Totem-level pressures outside.
Indeed, truly Totem-level!
What to do now?
She simply couldn’t use this skill!
This human believes in her so much; if she were to fail now...
No way!
Absolutely not!
She took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing her nervous emotions.
She began to furiously mobilize the power within her.
She sought to communicate, to stir the Power of Laws that lingered between heaven and earth, which she had never truly mastered...
Even though she had never succeeded before.
At present...
This human had staked everything on her.
She absolutely mustn’t fail!
On the high platform, the Totem-level Demon Clan saw Aster unresponsive to his order.
His eyes flashed with menace, patience exhausted:
"Stop pretending! Reveal your true form to me!"
Before his voice fell, he abruptly raised a demon claw, fiercely clawing at Aster through the air!
A concentrated dark Demonic Qi shot straight at Aster’s face, intending to lift his hat and force him to show his true face!
At the very moment the Demonic Qi was about to hit——
Aster suddenly lifted his head!
Under the brim of the mining robe, what was revealed was not a terrified face.
But a pair of incredibly cold eyes, as if he were looking at a dead man!
"Now’s the time!! Strike!"
