19 Desire Grotto

Located on the eastern part of the continent, was a large scaled underground market. Desire Grotto can be found beneath an extinct volcano inside the huge caverns on its base. This caverns were constructed into this large underground trading centers.

This large trading market were mostly controlled by the various large criminal organizations. In the past, the Alfonse kingdom and Felgrand empire had suppressed them both openly and secretly and, after having experienced countless suppressions, many large criminal organizations who were sitting on the fence had finally chosen to group together and planned to create their own dominion. But all their combined power were not enough, so they chose to work with a powerhouse that can threaten both those nations.The existence of Desire Grotto was like a torch in the dark; it attracted the various wanted criminals and underworld merchants from the various lands of the continent and constantly expanded.

The only reason that this nefarious territory still existed to this day is thanks to that lord's protection.

At the top of this dead volcano, were an ancient citadel and a dark tower belonging to the strongest demon lord. Demon Lord Adreus, unlike Hannigan, is on a different scale of demon lord, after all he is a nobility of the devil race.

The sun has already set a few hours ago when an unknown entity appeared above this unwary domain.

Deus was floating above this gloomy territory while the flying fortress was kept inside his dimensional void. This dimensional void is not the same as the pocket inventory void where players can keep their items, but an independent small world the size of 3 soccer field. This is where he kept his most important 'things'.

He's currently enjoying the fresh uncontaminated cold air of this world, but as his gaze penetrated down into that filthy place, it would remind him of the real world. Some of his deeply buried memories started to haunt him again, causing the elemental particles around him to go crazy. During this turmoil, a wicked aura emerge beside him forming into a burning spear. The ghostly wails from the millions of soul harmonizes with the raging black flames on the spear's surface.

In the world of [Yggdrasil], this God level item once belong to a [World Enemy] level boss. With its tremendous power, it's disturbing to think that it's only a fragment of a much superior weapon.

Deus grabs his spear and throws it towards the old citadel. The moment the spear left his hand, it didn't create any disturbances on its surrounding but melted into the void.

"Mischief, activate the [Field barrier]." he then makes a retrieving gesture while giving Mischief who was beside him an order.

It was already night-time so only a few people realized the anomaly happening on the surrounding borders.

Demon Lord Adreus was currently enjoying his sumptuous meal. As a devil, his main favourite dish were the dark emotions of the surface dwellers; particularly fear and despair. This is why he had agreed to protect those lowly worms as they not only provide him with material wealth but also dark emotions from their 'products'. All the suffering from those slaves were all harvested to his dark tower, which acts as his food silo.

"The mermaid's meat are not bad… " *munch*. *munch* *slurp..*

"Alfredo, try another cooking method on the next one." the toad like monsters gave an order to his butler.

The octopus-head butler who was standing respectfully beside the demon lord bowed his head and asked, "Which one of them would you like for your next meal my lord?"

The butler shot a glance at the group of crying mermaids trapped on a transparent water tank. That water tank is hanging on metal chains near the dining table.

Letting them watch as he ate their kindred was a fantastic way to receive those delicious main dishes.

"That little one on the corner, but first... make her drink a strong vitality potion, then grill her lower body (I wonder how long will she last as she watch her watch lower part being eaten slowly by me)... *jiejie*."

Hearing his lord's command, the octopus-head butler prepares his two large hooks.

*puii!*

The butler was startled by that sudden sound, turning around to look at the source of commotion left him screaming from fright. *iiie!!*
