#777 - Chapter 777 Only Thirty Seconds
Wu Wei's premonition was correct.
When Li Ke discovered that their Dark Covenant Guild was about to lose control of the No. 67 Ruins, he ruthlessly issued a retreat order.
Although those lords who received his retreat order strongly disapproved of their Guild Master's actions, believing that they still had a chance to fight.
However, after hesitating again and again, Li Ke still chose to retreat.
Thus, after Li Ke issued the retreat order once again, these lords ultimately chose to compromise.
If there were no surprises, the entire No. 67 Ruins plane would become Wu Wei's property in a matter of hours.
But in Li Ke's heart.
He didn't think of this as a losing deal.
You should know that although he was prepared to hand over the No. 67 Ruins.
He would never hand over the Dark Covenant Guild's greatest secret as well!
Since Wu Wei, this madman, liked attacking his plane so much, then Li Ke was prepared to play the role of a "good person"!
He would simply give the No. 67 Ruins plane to Wu Wei.
And along with it, the bomb in this plane that could send even Chaos Artificers into the void, as a great gift to Wu Wei!
But the problem also arose.
Although Li Ke and the others retreated very quickly and decisively.
It was precisely because of their decisiveness that Wu Wei escaped a disaster.
————————
"Something's not right."
"Hendricks, slow down the speed of your and your demon armies' sweep!"
"Elizabeth, you and your devil armies, retreat directly."
The reason why Wu Wei would let Elizabeth retreat directly, instead of the demons, was because demons were much cheaper than devils in terms of cost.
However, now was not the time to care about these details.
After all, Wu Wei had already sensed the malice from Li Ke.
Wu Wei had even vaguely guessed that Li Ke, this bastard, had a high probability of using the No. 67 Ruins plane as a trap against him.
So Wu Wei quickly completed his arrangements.
He directly withdrew all the devils, and then only left about half the number of demons.
Then, Wu Wei also scattered a large number of Lesser Demons throughout the entire plane like beans.
He was prepared to thoroughly investigate what kind of secrets this world, which was regarded as a treasure by the Dark Covenant Guild, held.
————————
Meanwhile, on the other side.
There was also a rather special existence who received the retreat order.
That was the Sixth Elder of the Dark Covenant Guild.
At this time, he was holding the detonator and heading towards the hidden space.
However, just as he had just walked to the [Chaos Artificer]'s side, he suddenly heard a strange voice, which was transmitted to his ears.
This voice was extremely weak, but it was also extremely clear.
Although this sounded very contradictory, this was the actual situation.
However, this voice, from beginning to end, was saying one sentence.
That was, he was asking whether the Sixth Elder was eager to possess power?
"Who..."
"Who is hiding here?!"
As soon as he heard this voice, the Sixth Elder immediately became vigilant.
Because at first, he mistakenly thought that Wu Wei's army had already arrived in this area.
But soon, he didn't think so.
Because he was surprised to find that the existence that had just asked him if he desired power was actually the Chaos Artificer above his head!
"How is this possible?"
"You can actually speak?!"
The Sixth Elder, who was startled by the Chaos Artificer's voice, instantly recalled the warning of his Guild Master Li Ke.
That was, the Chaos Artificer was actually a very seductive monster!
The corpse in his chest, which could not rest in peace even after death, was the greatest proof!
So, after becoming vigilant, the Sixth Elder quickly covered his ears and ran forward.
"No!"
"You're trying to tempt me?!"
"You damned monster!"
He wanted to end all this quickly.
However, the Sixth Elder forgot one thing.
That was, the Chaos Artificer's voice was definitely not from sound, but from thought.
So, although he had covered his ears and kept running towards the designated detonation area, the Chaos Artificer's voice was still transmitted to his mind.
"No no no!"
"I don't believe it!"
While running, the Sixth Elder muttered to himself.
"I will not be seduced by you."
"The power you show is all false, all lies!"
"..."
As he spoke, the Sixth Elder arrived at the detonation area, and then took a deep breath.
But at this critical moment...
"...."
"However, before I detonate it, you have thirty seconds to show me your power!"
The Sixth Elder turned his head and glared fiercely at the Chaos Artificer!
"Only thirty seconds!"
