Cursed Immortality

Chapter 1180: Doubt Protecting Pride

At this moment, the Giant War King didn’t dare to underestimate this Legendary Lord and remained silent but alert, while the Spirit Eye King and Wise King seemed amiable, but they were also on guard.

On the other hand, Elia was now convinced that these three leaders of the Life Faction no longer dared to belittle her, and she had successfully made herself mysterious and unpredictable in their minds, which would greatly benefit her purpose.

Furthermore, she was confident that even if these three saw through her façade and decided to join forces against her, she could easily escape this place without harm, and if she gave her all, it was still debatable who would be at a disadvantage.

"I hope Madam can look past what just happened. We are all trying to survive the Undead Skyfall Canyons, and your sudden arrival naturally made everyone agitated." The Wise King politely stated with a cordial smile, "Now that the misunderstanding between us has been solved, I wonder what kind of offer Madam has for our Life Faction?"

"Indeed, we are very interested in anything that can help us get out of this damnable place, and we should also strive to stick together to fight with the Undead Skyfall Canyons." The Spirit Eye King chimed in before she gave the Giant War King a fierce, meaningful glare, "Right, Giant War King?"

"A-agreed!" The Giant War King nodded absent-mindedly as he cleansed the blood on his mouth.

Elia glanced at the three leaders, each with a completely different attitude, and secretly praised her teacher for his wisdom.

"Alright, I’ll give you guys another chance." She impassively replied and didn’t appear as friendly or hostile because she had no intention of getting attached to anyone here, and she was only here to achieve her objective.

"Since I’m in a hurry, I’ll simply tell you what I want from your Life Faction," Elia said, her voice carrying a deep sway. "I can get rid of the Sky Fall Canyons forces for you as long as you follow my instructions!"

The Wise King, Spirit Eye King, and even circumspect War Giant King’s eyes widened when they heard Elia’s confident words about getting rid of the Sky Fall Canyons’ forces.

After all, they were all peak Legendary Kings, and even they failed to put a dent in the Sky Fall Canyons’ forces because no matter how much they killed, there were always more undead coming from the depths of the Undead Skyfall Canyons as if there was a gateway directly connected to the Underworlds there.

Moreover, the entrance to the Undead Skyfall Canyons was teeming with Undead Legions, and no living being could enter there, even if it were a Legendary King with a space law soul totem.

But now this seemingly Legendary Lord has confidently claimed that she can get rid of the Sky Fall Canyons’ forces so easily that they were naturally baffled and have doubts about her claims.

Moreover, these three leaders knew more about those ordinary legendary kings, and they had long suspected that there was probably Quasi-Myth Rank Undead hiding within the core of the Undead Skyfall Canyons, so they didn’t dare to even consider fighting to the death with them.

All they wanted was to get out of the Sagittarius Continent and never look back again. Yet this woman was giving them hope again and telling them they could achieve the impossible.

However, these three might be desperate; they weren’t idiots and simply believed everything this woman told them, especially since her origin was completely unknown, but they couldn’t just outright reject her for this exact reason.

"Forgive us for our hesitation, but we can’t simply follow Madam’s instructions since we don’t even know what Madam’s plan is and if it won’t endanger Life Faction as a whole." The Wise King curtly stated, as he thought his words were more than reasonable, and anyone in his situation would react the same way.

However, Elia wasn’t like the people he used to deal with, and when she heard Wise King’s words, she thought he was trying to manipulate her into giving away more information than she considered them unqualified to have.

"My plan is my plan; you don’t need to bother yourself with it." Elia coldly replied, "As long as you just do as I said, you’ll be able to escape here with your lives. However, if you want to save the lives of those cannon fodder outside, then you can be my guest and sacrifice yourselves in the hope of protecting them.

"After all, if you want to protect your lives, I require living baits, and you guys have it, that’s why I even bother to find your hideout. However, since you are so compassionate about your people, I don’t mind making you bait, and this way, your companions might be able to escape."

The three leaders were flabbergasted when they heard Elia’s cruel plan, or at least part of her plan, and with how easily she had disclosed it, they knew this woman wasn’t here to work together but only because they had ’baits’ that suited her needs.

But they couldn’t just simply reject her because no matter how much they cared about their organizations, they still cherished their lives more, and their lives were more important than the ordinary members of their factions, for they were the Faction Leaders, representing the whole organization!

The Giant War King, who had been standing like a statue all this time, finally spoke, "Can you really guarantee our escape as long as we agree to your plan?"

Elia disdained the Giant War King for what happened earlier, but she still replied dismissively, "Escape or not will depend on your capabilities, but I can guarantee the opportunity, and at that time, all you need to do is to...run!"

The Spirit Eye King and Wise King frowned slightly, but they didn’t outright reject Elia this time because if there was really a chance to escape, it would be foolish to reject her just to remain here and die later.

"Can you sign a Soul Oath Contract with us?" The Giant War King inquired because he might be ruthless; he still needed to make sure this woman wouldn’t stab him in the back when the time came, and his two companions thought the same.

However, Elia’s entire demeanor changed, and a profound intent filled it, greatly affecting the wills of the three legendary kings; even their soul totems were suppressed.

At that moment, Elia completely changed from being a mysterious expert to a prideful regal majesty as she uttered without any emotions behind her voice, "An Oath Contract? You dare to doubt my words!"

The three leaders suddenly realized that this prideful woman’s way of thinking was completely eccentric!
