Chapter 369: Chapter 343: The Thirty-three Great Demons

“The sole Demon…”

Such an explanation from Aniye not only failed to clarify things for Rocky, but instead confused him even more. All he could do was to try to understand the statement literally, “Master, are you saying that this Demon named Leviathan, there’s only one in the world?”

“That’s correct.”

Aniye nodded, indicating that Rocky’s literal interpretation was entirely correct–the Demon named Leviathan was indeed a singular existence in the world!

“Can there really be… such a thing?!”

Faced with Aniye’s affirmative answer, Rocky was stupefied because this answer obviously overturned his common knowledge about Demons!

What does ‘unique’ mean?

Only an independent entity could be described as unique, just like humans; each person is unique to some extent. Rocky and Aniye are both humans, but you can’t find a second Rocky in this world, nor can you find a second Aniye, that’s what ‘unique’ means.

But how could you describe a Demon as ‘unique’?

As everyone knows, there are myriad types of Demons, and almost each type exists in endless numbers. How could there be a ‘unique’ existence?

Yet, the fact is just so–the Demon named Leviathan is indeed a unique existence!

This Demon is unlike any other, the only one in the whole world.

“Leviathan, this Demon, is the first special Demon we discovered. We found that it is completely different from other Demons in every aspect. This Demon is almost no different from us, so if other Demons are called Normal Demons, then Leviathan would be a special Demon.”

“No different from us…?”

“That’s right, no different from us.”

Looking at Rocky, who was agape, Aniye, while feeling helpless, couldn’t deny this fact.

Perhaps Normal Demons are but a horde of creatures without a shred of intelligence or sense, but the Demon Leviathan is different–it’s almost indistinguishable from humans!

And as Aniye nodded helplessly, Rocky was completely astounded; Aniye’s few words had utterly upended his worldview!

But what was more revolutionary for his cognition actually lay ahead.

Just as Rocky stood agape, Aniye was about to reveal an even more explosive secret!

All he said next was:

“Moreover… there are more special Demons in the world similar to Leviathan, not just one.”

“Ah!”

Rocky, who hadn’t fully grasped this concept, couldn’t help but exclaim and his face showed an expression of utter disbelief.

“In this world, a total of The Thirty-three Great Demons have been discovered, each one like Leviathan, a unique existence in the world. Among all Demons, these thirty-three are akin to emperors; they possess immense wisdom and strength, and Normal Demons are like ants before them, even high-level Demons are under their control.”

As a result, people also refer to these thirty-three special Demons as The Thirty-three Great Demons.”

Speaking of which, Aniye glanced at Rocky, “Have you heard of the forbidden zones?”

“I… I’ve heard,” Rocky stammered, quickly nodding his head, “The Traceless Battlefield is one of those forbidden zones, isn’t it?”

Taken aback by Aniye’s sudden question, Rocky blinked before hastily nodding. He indeed knew that there were several forbidden zones on the land, like the Traceless Battlefield he and Karina had visited, which was one of these zones.

“That’s right, the Traceless Battlefield is indeed a forbidden zone, but it’s just one of the safer ones. In reality, there are dozens of large and small forbidden zones on land today. Some zones are prohibited from entry by any Sky City, with violators subjected to annihilation. Among these zones, the most dangerous areas are the territories ruled by The Thirty-three Great Demons.”

“My God… How have I never heard of these things before!”

Everything Aniye had said left Rocky in utter shock; he had never even heard about these matters!

Among the Demons, there actually existed beings like Demon Kings, who could control other demons and even occupy territories on the land. All of this was too incredible for him. If these words had not come from Aniye’s mouth, Rocky might have doubted they were anything more than the stuff of fiction.

But precisely because these words came from Aniye, there was no need for any doubt!

“Of course, you wouldn’t have heard.”

Seeing Rocky’s reaction, Aniye wasn’t surprised in the slightest. He then asked with a slight smile, “Rocky, how do you feel after knowing all of this?”

“I…”

When asked about his feelings, Rocky opened his mouth and, after a moment’s hesitation, replied, “I… feel despair…”

Yes, despair was what Rocky felt after hearing Aniye’s words!

He suddenly understood why it had taken a hundred years for people to not return to the land. Clearly, the Demon’s occupation of the land, driving everyone to the skies, was far from simple; it was filled with too many secrets unknown to the people.

As for his reaction, Nelson nodded in agreement. That was the very reason why everything he had said was not known to the world. If he shared all of this information with everyone, without question, each person would feel the same profound despair that Rocky did. Therefore, what Aniye had revealed was the highest level of secret in this world, something ordinary people could never expect to learn in their lifetimes.

Afterwards, Aniye did not say much else. Although there were still many secrets about this world and about demons that he was aware of, he felt he had said enough for the day. If he said more, Aniye feared that Rocky might genuinely collapse…

So, once Rocky had gradually come to terms with everything he had been told, Aniye returned his attention to the Azure Fang.

“According to the records, Leviathan’s appearance is that of a massive serpent that feeds on energy, able to consume and expel energy in any form. Furthermore, it sheds its skin every ten years, doubling in size and strength with each molt.”

“The tooth you have must have been shed during Leviathan’s molting. If I remember correctly, this tooth can absorb Mana, right?”

“Yes! Yes! And it becomes extremely unstable after absorbing Mana!”

Hearing Aniye’s words, Rocky nodded continually, affirming that he was completely correct.

“I thought as much.”

Aniye couldn’t help but show a hint of admiration as he looked at the Azure Fang in his hand, “I never imagined, truly never imagined, such a precious thing would end up in your hands. You should know, this is something money can’t measure…”

After muttering to himself, he turned his head towards Pelaya, “Pelaya, can you make use of this tooth?”

“Of course!”

Looking at the Azure Fang in Aniye’s hands, Pelaya’s eyes already shone with eagerness, evidently already contemplating how to incorporate this immensely precious Azure Fang into the next generation of the White Demon Armor!
