Chapter 628: The Seven Fiends Of Solterra



The World of Solterra had Seven Celestials and Seven Fiends.

They were the ultimate powerhouses of the world of Solterra and they had played a huge role in stopping the Jinn Invasion, preventing them from conquering the world.

The first of them was the Sea Monster, Forneus, whose temperament was similar to Cranky.

It didn't give a hoot to anyone, and everyone who angered it had paid and would pay the price of their insolence.

Forneus was once the Guardian Deity of the Valbarra Archipelago, and he was known to fight anyone, regardless of whether they were Jinns, Fiends, or Celestials.

The Second Fiend was Pharzuph.

He ruled over fornification and lust. The creatures under his command were the Incubus, Succubus, and Satyrs, who were known for their carnal desires.

For this reason, their Empire had been named the Lust Empire, and only those as depraved as them dared to enter its doors.

The Third Fiend went by the name Belial.

He was the fiend of Lawlessness, and was worshiped by all criminals alike. He resided at the Great Forest of Felena Thalas, where the First World Tree had grown.

He had chased away the Elves and made the Great Forest his home.

As much as the Elves wanted to reclaim their homeland, it was currently impossible, for Belial was a monster whom none of them dared to face.

The fourth Fiend of the world, Appolyon, was the personification of death. Wherever he went, death and destruction followed. Many people also refer to him as Abaddon, and he was worshiped as the God of War.

The fifth Fiend was a very unique fellow, for no one, aside from the Fiends and Celestial, knew what he really looked like.

But one thing was clear.

Dantanian was once a human, and had simply managed to obtain the power of a Fiend. He was a man of many faces and traveled the world in a carefree manner.

Many say that if you ever come across Dantanian and recognize him for who he was, he would become a lifelong friend and will treasure you until you breathed your last.

Mammon was known as the Fiend of Greed and Money.

Among the Fiends of the world, he was the most well-known, for he interacted with humans, demihumans, and any creature who wished to do business with him.

Thirteen had met Mammon in the Valbarra Archipelago and had seen how powerful he was.

With a wave of his hand, everyone and anything turned to gold, so not many dared to offend such a beast.

The last, but not the least, was Wormwood.

Among the Fiends, Forneus treated him as a friend.

Wormwood was considered an outcast because he carried plagues, pestilence, and diseases with him.

But those who were brave enough to seek him for cures for incurable diseases attested that he was one of the most misunderstood Fiends in the world.

Mikhail, Shasha, Remi, and Rhia sat, listening to Thirteen, who lightly tapped the whiteboard in front of him as he explained the Fiends of Solterra.

"Aside from Pharzuph, Belial, and Mammon, the location of the four other Fiends are unknown," Thirteen said. "If you ever come across rumors of their whereabouts, make sure to remember them.

"The one I'm most curious about is Wormwood. However, do not approach him at any cost. You might die by accident because his powers are very potent. Just by standing at a location, he had been able to stop the Jinn Invasion-they died from his pestilence."

"Bwadah!" Rhia raised her hand. "I'll find him!"

"Good." Thirteen lightly patted Rhia's head, making the latter close her eyes happily.

"If I hear anything, I'll make sure to let you know," Mikhail said. "But Solterra is vast. Even if

I were accidentally sent to Wormwood's location, you might not be able to go to that place, Zion."

"Don't worry, I have my ways," Thirteen replied.

With Metatron's help, Thirteen could teleport to any place in Solterra as long as it wasn't near any Human Kingdoms.

Since Wormwood didn't like to visit human kingdoms, not wanting to hurt people, Thirteen was confident that he could meet with this misunderstood Fiend in the future.

Of course, he could ask Laplace Demon, The One, and Metatron about its whereabouts, but he was certain that none of them would answer his questions.

There was a limit to how much help they could give to Wanderers, and unless the teenage boy located Wormwood on his own, Metatron wouldn't open a portal for his sake.

After their short history lesson, Thirteen began to train his siblings, making sure that all of them were on the right path.

Rhia, who was still mastering the Nutcracker Kick, was being assisted by Uncle Boo and Albion, who were always by her side.

In five years, Remi would also undertake her First Wandering, so Thirteen was paying close attention to her training.

After clearing his previous mission, Thirteen had negotiated that his sisters, Remi and Rhia, would be allowed to absorb Rank 5 Beast Cores even before they entered Solterra.

In short, Thirteen was helping them cheat, but it was the kind that got the reluctant approval of the God of Wanderers.

Both of them had already absorbed the Rank 5 Sovereign Cores in their bodies and had begun to assimilate it.

Before they even stepped into the world of Solterra, both Remi and Rhia would have the strength of a Rookie, surpassing their peers of the same generation.

With Thirteen working for the God of Wanderers, he believed that The One would not send

Remi to a very dangerous place unless he was there with her as well.

The days passed swiftly, and a month later, Thirteen was surprised to find four people visiting

their residence.

They were none other than Shana, Erica, Rianna, and Derek.

"There's still a month before your training starts. Why are the four of you here?" Thirteenn/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

asked. "Are you all that eager to start your training?"

"We just came to visit," Erica replied. "Do you think we're masochists or something?"

"Actually, I came here to train early, Master," Derek patted her chest. "By the way, where is Miss Shasha?"

The corner of Thirteen's lips twitched because he now understood why Derek wanted to train

early.

He was one of Shasha's many admirers, and since Thirteen's beautiful sister was currently in Pangea, Derek wanted to have the chance to train with her.

"I see. So you chose death," Thirteen smiled faintly.

Derek's body shuddered uncontrollably because for a brief moment, he thought that he was

looking at the grim reaper instead of his Master.

Thirteen eyed the swordsman of the Hero Party with a smile while formulating a training regimen that would make Derek cough out blood.

He would make sure that he wouldn't even have the time to think of Shasha, who was also busy with her own training.
