The Innkeeper

Chapter 1270  Divine Envoy

The Fuegan had made their move. The Jorlam had appeared, and the army of dragons, as impressive as it was, could not overwhelm the Jorlam so easily. A galaxy itself was nothing more than a buffet table for these monstrosities.

"Fahad, I hope you don't renege on our deal," Lex suddenly said, completely unconcerned about the shift.

"Yes, yes, in exchange for helping us take down Sanguis Pluvia, you can receive the heart's blood of a Jorlam. I'll get it for you, fresh."

"Good," Lex said, and turned his mind towards the battle once more. Although he'd like to take credit for the arrival of the dragons, he was… slightly afraid of claiming credit as well. He knew that his little statement might provoke a few dragons, but wasn't this a little too much?

Fortunately, the dragons seemed like they were not concerned with Lex at all. In that case, there was only one more fighting force he had arranged for as backup, though now he was hesitant to call them.

He would wait and see how things developed. If the situation seemed bad, he would have to take the risk.

"Have you guys already prepared for such a situation?" Lex asked Fahad. The real Fahad was out there fighting, but he'd also left behind a clone to protect Lex, and now Lilith who was beside him, giggling like a schoolgirl. "Taking care of Jorlam… is tricky," Noor said with a troubled expression. "Within the same realm, I think it's practically impossible to kill them. But they can be held back. For that, we will personally dispatch Celestial level Henali warriors. But this will definitely mess with our battle plans. You know, so far, not a single Jorlam has been killed in this war. In fact, the loss of a World Eater was the greatest victory we've had in that regard."

The situation was getting extremely chaotic and complicated. Ordinarily, Lex would have left by now to stay out of everyone else's way. But this was not a fight that would last forever, or even too long. Sekhmet was still absorbing the aura from countless Jeffrey's, while more than a fair number of them had been captured or killed by others.

Sooner or later there would be a turning point in this battle, and it would likely be when the last Jeffrey clone died. Lex was curious to see what that would be.

Lex began to debate with himself if it might be a good idea to summon his final backup, when the battle changed once more.

A golden dragon appeared at the forefront of the dragon army, and everyone, Sekhmet included, were forced to look up at him. Lex's breath caught as he felt the very same aura as Sekhmet. It was a Demi-Dao Lord!

He also sensed that Fahad and Noor were extremely surprised to see the dragon as well. He must have had an exceptional identity. This was probably the Dragon King.

Lex got ready to leave for the Midnight Inn at a moment's notice. In fact, not leaving already might be a mistake. But the dragon never even looked towards Lex - his gaze was locked on Sekhmets.

"You have made a mistake in returning, lioness," the dragon's voice rumbled through space, even though he did not actually move his mouth.

"I do not fear you, Vaelgorith," Sekhmet spoke for the very first time, her voice filled with defiance.

"Then that is your second mistake."

New figures started to suddenly appear all around them, and Fahad promptly placed his hand on Lex's shoulder, teleporting them both away from there.

"What happened?" Lex asked, noticing that the Henali looked incredibly pale.

"The Dao Lords appeared on the scene. All lesser beings are sent to a separate battlefield. This is bad. This is really bad. You should return to the Inn." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"What? Why?"

"Because…"

Fahad didn't have time to finish his sentence. An endless plane appeared beneath their feet, and all the Henali, Sanguis Pluvia and Fuegan forces appeared here as well. Then more and more beings started to appear, and in the distance Lex even saw entire planets beginning to appear, floating above the endless plane.

"It's too late," Noor whispered. "We've been sent to the Mirage. No one can leave until the Dao Lords let us out. The fight will continue here, and it will be much more desperate."

Lex frowned, and tried to exit to the Inn, but felt something preventing him. This was not like those times that space was blocked, or was too weak to support teleportation. He directly felt something restraining him from returning.

"Can people still come in?" Lex asked suddenly.

"Of course," Noor responded. "In fact, everyone still fighting the Sanguis Pluvia will most likely be sent here. The Mirage is a special place, under the control of the Dao Lords. No damage here will reflect onto the Origin realm. Likewise, nothing happening outside will harm us here.

"Something very serious must have happened for them to send us here. It was most likely the appearance of that golden dragon. He had the aura of a Demi-Dao Lord, but I've never heard of such a being of Dao in the Origin realm."

Yup, the situation was rapidly getting out of hand. In that case… might as well truly mess things up.

"Mary, send my agreement to the Divine Envoy. It's time to get the other Deities involved in this mess."

Within the Midnight Inn, an Inn worker suddenly set off and delivered a letter to a guest in a certain room.

"Finally," the guest whispered, and then disappeared.

On Earth, the very same guest reappeared in a lavish castle, filled with noble women wearing the most elaborate pieces of jewelry. First, the same guest put on a ceremonial robe covered in perfect diamonds, before walking into the inner chambers of the castle where a gorgeous woman sat on a throne.

"My lady, Lex has agreed to your demands. We can now move out."

Alissa Harmony, the winner of the first Midnight Games, former YouTuber and current divine envoy of the Deity of diamonds, smiled.
