Chapter 2 Seeking a Tiger's Skin
"You may call me Rhodes, the mighty fel lord Lord Azoton," Rhodes said.
Just to be on the safe side, he didn't reveal his full name. Who knew if these demons knew his full name, they might cast some kind of evil curse or vicious spell on him?
"You're quite cautious, kid, not even revealing your full name. Tell me! What do you want from me?" the Eredar Fel Lord asked.
It doesn't matter, as long as they can be used by the Burning Legion, the Legion will accept anyone who comes.
"I want to join the Burning Legion, I want the power of fel energy, I want everything."
"And I can also open a portal for the Legion, a portal directly to the world of Azeroth," Rhodes said with a cold laugh.
This is my trump card.
"Heh! Open a portal? You? Hahaha! You're too weak, kid. You can't possibly do that," the Eredar Fel Lord mocked.
Is this kid really capable of serving the legion?
To be honest, with this kid's current strength, he felt that it would be problematic for the opponent to even summon a Fearguard or a Doomguard to appear in Azeroth.
At best, it can only summon low-level cannon fodder demons such as imps, voidwalkers, hellhounds, and succubi.
What kind of confidence allows this kid to boast about opening a portal for the legion?
However, it's alright to infiltrate the Legion, gather intelligence, and assist the Dreadlords.
"Then, can you grant my request and give me the method to cultivate fel magic?" Rhodes asked.
"Hahaha! Of course, but what kind of kid can you provide me?"
"Based on just one sentence from you, do you think I can help you summon a legion in the future? If that's all, then there's probably no need for us to continue talking."
In the world of Azeroth, there are also many mortal races who crave fel power and want to join the Burning Legion.
Moreover, the Burning Legion is not blind in this world.
The Legion also has several dreadlords lurking in this world, and openly known as the fel lord Kazzak, along with a large number of demons under his command.
There are also some Legion troops remaining in the Tomb of Sargeras, but opening a super interdimensional portal to allow the main Legion forces to enter this world is no easy task!
It's a pity that this time only a phantom of him was summoned to Azeroth, and it was subject to certain constraints, so he couldn't do anything.
Otherwise, he would have wanted to seize the body of this warlock apprentice and then wreak havoc in Azeroth.
"It seems these soul fragments aren't enough to satisfy your appetite. How about this?"
Rhodes took a deep breath and took out a bead that shone with a blue light from his backpack, containing an extremely terrifying blue energy.
The moment the Eredar demon lord saw the blue bead, he was utterly terrified.
"This, this, how do you have something like this? Kid, what is this thing, and why? It's filled with such terrifying spatial energy."
As a powerful Eredar demon who has lived for over ten thousand years, the Fel Lord Azodon still has this much insight, even though they are separated by countless planes.
Even though he was only summoned into a virtual form, he could still clearly sense the powerful spatial energy within the blue bead—a terrifyingly powerful spatial energy.
Once a demonic portal is built, the spatial energy within this blue orb can easily open a demonic portal connecting to the Argus Legion headquarters.
If it were possible to unleash an endless army of demons upon the world of Azeroth once more, Lord Kil'jaeden would surely reward himself handsomely.
The Eredar demon's eyes gleamed with intense, greedy excitement as it spoke.
"Very good, young man. I will teach you how to build a demon portal, and you will be in charge of building it. Then, use the energy in this blue crystal ball to open the portal and welcome the Burning Legion. You will receive endless rewards."
"I know, I know exactly what kind of power the bead in my hand has, and I also know what the spatial energy within it means to the Burning Legion."
"So now, I think I can meet Lord Kil'jaeden!" Rhodes said with a cold laugh.
You, a mere Eredar demon lord, dare to try and fool me? Do you really think I, a transmigrator, am someone to be trifled with?
You think you can fool me? You're too green. You probably know more about the inner workings of your Burning Legion than I do.
"You don't trust me anymore? You don't trust the powerful Lord Azoton? Or do you have no intention of serving the Legion at all?" The Eredar Demon Watch said angrily.
Rhodes chuckled dismissively and said, "Come on, Eredar demon lord. I can serve the Legion and help it conquer Azeroth, but I want to gain immense power."
That's all, but you're planning to deceive me, not giving me anything in return, just wanting me to build you a demon portal?
"Now, either you introduce me to Lord Kil'jaeden, or you lose this opportunity and I'll summon other demons. I believe those other demons will be more generous than you."
"Hahaha! You? A kid who's only learned a little bit of warlock fel magic? What makes you think you're worthy of meeting Lord Kil'jaeden? You really think you're so special?"
"Is it something the Legion can't do without? I'm giving you the chance to build an interdimensional portal and summon the Legion's army. Once you succeed, I'll let you join the Legion. That's already an incredibly generous gift," said Azodon, the Eredar Fel Lord.
"Then goodbye, Lord Azoton, the fel lord of Eredar. It seems we haven't reached an agreement. I'll summon another demon!" Rhodes said, then pretended to cut off the summoning circle.
I don't believe you can resist this thing; the spatial energy inside is my bait.
The Eredar demon, Fel Lord Azodon, panicked when he saw Rhodes intending to sever the summoning circle and hurriedly spoke up.
"No! No! Wait, wait, okay! Okay!"
I will report your message to Lord Kil'jaeden, but I cannot guarantee whether Lord Deceiver will be willing to see you.
There was nothing he could do; he was truly under their thumb. The Legion desperately wanted this planet, and Lord Kil'jaeden might make an exception and grant him a meeting.
"Hmph! I believe that if you tell Kil'jaeden about the treasure I possess, he will be more than happy to meet me," Rhodes said with a cold snort.
The Eredar demon Azodon said, "Hmph! Listen up, kid. Summon me again in two months. If Lord Kil'jaeden is willing to see you, he will be there."
"Wait, you need to give me some methods for practicing fel magic, otherwise, even if you're willing to introduce me to Lord Kil'jaeden, I won't summon you again," Rhodes said.
