This time, Zeke was able to see clearly that it was a human who had slipped past him.

Is there someone else in this hidden underground river?

His first thought was whether it could be one of the four Ultimate Class elders.

However, he quickly dismissed that possibility.

Any one of the four warriors would have killed him at once.

Furthermore, even if it was one of them, after falling down the abyss, they would have been injured and unable to move with such speed.

Hence, he concluded that some mysterious person must live here.

Zeke called out, “Who are you? Come out and face me.”

The only reply he received was his echo.

“What a coward!” Zeke muttered to himself and continued walking forward.

After that, the shadow moved to and fro beside Zeke.

However, Zeke could not be bothered with it and moved forward, ignoring the figure.

He was certain that the figure was trying to catch his attention.

If I ignore him, this mysterious person will soon grow impatient.

Indeed, he guessed correctly.

Passing before Zeke a few more times without getting any attention, the shadow finally spoke.

“Ignorant fool, you have intruded into my palace. Do you know you have erred?”

Zeke continued walking without missing a step, but he replied leisurely, “Who are you? What are you doing here in the middle of an underground river?”

The figure replied, “I am Lucifer, the Demon King of the West!”

Zeke replied, “Lucifer? I think you're talking nonsense. If you really are from the West, how can you speak the language of Eurasia so well? Speak a few words of a Western language to prove you are telling the truth.”

Lucifer was speechless.

After a moment of silence, Lucifer asked, “Who are you? Why have you entered my palace?”

Zeke replied, ”I'm the underground ruler of the East, Hades, here for an inspection. Come out of hiding immediately to greet me.”

Lucifer remained silent.

“Darn it, you're better than me at telling tall tales.”

There was a moment of silence after that.

Zeke kept quiet and continued walking.

Finally, Lucifer lost his patience and spoke again. “Ignorant one, let me ask you something. Do you want to live?”

Zeke replied, “That's a stupid question. Everyone wants to live.”

Lucifer answered, “If you want to live, prostrate yourself before me and I can show you the way.”
