Stormhoof adjusted his posture so that he could flee if something goes wrong with the negotiations.
Elder Skull chuckled when he saw the wary look of the muscular demon. He then let out a sigh as he recalled a certain figure from his memories. "We are indeed enemies. He was even the reason why I've bee a wanderer. Surpassing him was my lifelong dream, but I no longer have the hope to do that. Markanen Torgrim died during the continental war more than fifty thousand years ago. My dream was buried alongside his death. Now, I'm only an ordinary old man who is studying necromancy."
Stormhoof felt relieved in his heart when he realized that Elder Skull had no plans of attacking him. Although he was confident in his own skills, the old demon was giving him a dangerous vibe. He didn't dare think what would have happened if they ended up fighting.
"Whatever my father has done to Elder Skull, please allow me to apologize on his behalf." Stormhoof said carefully.
The old demon glanced at him with a smile, showing him two inplete rows of blackened teeth. "I know you didn't e here just to say this. Just spit it out since I still have research to do."
Stormhoof quickly nodded his head as he wiped the sweat on his forehead. "In truth, I am here to ask for your assistance, Elder Skull."
Elder Skull frowned with a displeased look. "Do you think I wouldn't kill you just because you're Markanen's son!? Just spit everything out already!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! I hope Elder Skull would help the Torgrim and the Lycan Family in usurping the throne from the Bloodfallen Imperial Family! In return, I will give you the corpse of a Void God Realm Fire Wyvern Overlord!" Stormhoof immediately said everything in his mind. Heck! This elder was too hot-blooded!
Hearing this, the murky eyes of the old demon suddenly flashed with a look of interest.
"You have the corpse of a Void God Realm Fire Wyvern Overlord?" Elder Skull stared at him doubtfully. This savage beast lives inside active volcanoes, and when it matures, it would reach the Void God Realm! Its corpse was a very attractive specimen to Necromancer like him!
Stormhoof nodded his head as he unhesitatingly took out the corpse of a huge dragon-like savage beast. A loud banging sound soon echoed in the surroundings when he dropped it on the ground.
This savage beast was more than a thousand meters long and its body was covered in red metal-like scales! Even in death, this creature still emitted a terrifying aura!
Elder Skull's eyes lit up when he saw the corpse. He then used his spiritual vision to scan it.
After three minutes, the old demon patted the corpse with his withered hand as he muttered. "This isn't just a simple Fire Wyvern Overlord. Although its outer appearance is in pristine condition, I noticed that its internal organs are severely damaged. This guy must've died from a high-level fist technique! When it was alive, this savage beast was at the peak stage of the Void God Realm... With your strength, you're not even capable of harming it, so this must have been given to you by Markanen Torgrim... Only that guy is strong enough to release such a high-level fist technique."
Stormhoof was stunned by the elder's deep insight. He was even able to recognize his father's fist aura that was lingering inside the beast's internal organs!
"That's right. This corpse was given to me by my father when I was young. He told me that I could use this corpse in crucial times. Initially, I planned to use it for my cultivation, but things suddenly went out of hand." Stormhoof sighed as he shook his head.
Elder Skull remained silent as he stared at the huge corpse in front of him. Stormhoof felt nervous as he waited at the side. If the old demon will steal it from him... that would be disastrous...
After a long while, Elder Skull turned his gaze to the anxious Stormhoof and opened his mouth. "I can help you, but I can't join personally."
Stormhoof's eyes lit up when he heard the first few words, but he then frowned when the elder continued. "Elder Skull, what do you mean?"
The old demon glared at him and scoffed. "Even if I can't go there, I can still send my most valued corpse puppet to help you with your war. Open your eyes and take a look yourself!"
The old demon then took out something huge from his space ring. It was a vicious-looking creature that seemed to be crafted from various savage beasts stitched together! This amalgamation of savagery emitted an overpowering aura of suppression that made Stormhoof's face turn grave.
Late stage Void God Realm!
This savage creature has an aura that was similar to his own!
"If you think that this isn't enough for the corpse of the Fire Wyvern Overlord, then I will add twenty thousand undead with cultivation bases between 6th-rank King and 9th-rank Saint. What do you think?" Elder Skull smiled as he summoned a huge army of undead behind him. All of them were holding weapons and they emitted a dense deathly aura!
Stormhoof was shocked by the elder's offer. Although Elder Skull wouldn't fight in person, just the late stage Void God Realm chimera alone already made him happy. The addition of twenty thousand undead made him unable to contain his smile. "Elder Skull, this is enough! I'll accept this transaction!"
Elder Skull nodded his head calmly. "Good! But remember that I'm only letting you borrow them. Return them to me once your war is over."
Stormhoof was a bit disappointed, but he could only accept this. Although the Fire Wyvern Overlord's corpse was valuable, the treasure vault of the Bloodfallen Family could make up for his losses.
"You can rest assured, Elder Skull! I will bring them back after we take the throne!" Stormhoof patted his chest with a confident look. If Herald was also successful in his talks with the Poison Valley, their chances of winning is now higher! No! They would surely bee the victor!
Just thinking about it made Stormhoof smile from ear to ear.
