“You overestimate me, Patriarch Labhrann. That’s the Demon Realm’s restricted area. Even you might not survive the journey, let alone me. Besides, how am I supposed to release the seal on Xandros that was put in place by the Grand Emperor? I can’t do this. You should seek help elsewhere.”
James rejected his request immediately.
Txomin looked at him and said, “You’re the only one who can do this.”
“Why?” James was confused.
Txomin said, “Your physical body was reshaped by the Hadean Clan’s Grand Emperor. Since you have the Grand Emperor’s aura, you won’t encounter any danger while you’re in the Great Dividing Range. As long as you can find Xandros and awaken him, he’ll tell you what to do.”
James looked at Txomin. He was confounded. Why would a member of the Demon Race be so desperate to save a human Grand Emperor?
“P-Patriarch, could you be a human?”
Txomin nodded slightly and said, “Though the Labhranns are part of the Demon Race, I’m not. I’m one of the so-called traitors of Earth who retreated to the Demon Realm alongside the Demon Race army. Then, I joined the Labhranns. As time passed, I became the Labhranns’ Patriarch.”
James asked, “So aren’t you going to give me any hints on finding Xandros?”
Txomin shook his head. “The previous Lord of the Demon Realm was the one who sealed Xandros Tegan away. I only know the location and nothing else. You’ll have to investigate yourself. Remember, you have to find Xandros no matter the cost.
“Xandros was the lord of the human race and possesses unrivaled strength. He cheated death by avoiding tribulation and survived. The human race needs his guidance.
“There are many powerful figures on Earth. However, they are reluctant to show themselves due to a lack of a leader. So, finding Xandros is of utmost importance. This concerns the future of the human race.”
Txomin’s expression was grim.
“In that case, I’ll give it a try.”
James had no other choice. For the earthlings’ sake, he had to go even if he had to risk his life.
