Chapter 2468: Demon Slaying Parade

"Fuck! I am not joking! Just look! There are cracks on the seal! If I am joking, I will give you guys my paycheck for the next decade!" The guard shouted angrily.

Hearing this, the other guards finally turned toward the entrance to the Demonic Realm—a pair of enormous gates bound by nine golden chains and surrounded by a semi-transparent barrier.

At first glance, the barrier itself appeared perfectly intact. However, the moment they inspected the golden chains more closely, their expressions changed.

One of the chains had developed visible cracks, despite having remained flawless for millions of years.

"I-It’s true! There are cracks on one of the seals!" The guards immediately began to panic.

There were ten guards stationed at the entrance, yet not a single one of them was a Demon Sealer. Instead, they had been jointly hired by the Demon Sealing Clan and the Demon Sealing Grotto, as neither side trusted the other to safeguard the entrance properly on their own.

"Fuck! What should we do?!"

"There’s only one thing to do! Contact the Demon Sealers!"

Two of the guards swiftly retrieved communication jade slips from their Spatial Rings and contacted their respective superiors—one reaching out to the Demon Sealing Clan, while the other informed the Demon Sealing Grotto.

"We have an emergency! One of the seals on the entrance to the Demonic Realm has been damaged!"

"What do you mean it has been damaged?! Are you under attack?!"

"No! It just cracked by itself!"

"Damn it! Why does something like this have to happen while the Stairway to Heaven is still missing?! And with the Demon Slaying Parade approaching, no less!" the Demon Sealer sighed in frustration.

"Fortunately, this is likely nothing more than minor deterioration caused by age," he continued. "The seal has existed since the Demonic Era, and we already knew it had been gradually weakening over time."

"So what should we do?" asked the guard.

"Nothing. Just keep doing your job and watch over it."

"I understand..."

In the end, both guards received nearly identical responses and were instructed to simply remain vigilant and continue monitoring the seal.

As for the Demon Sealers, neither bothered informing their superiors about the situation, deeming it insignificant. Besides, everyone was already overwhelmed with preparations for the Demon Slaying Parade and the growing activities of the demon worshippers.

Time continued to pass, and as the days drew closer to the Demon Slaying Parade, more and more cracks began appearing across the seal.

"Hey... what did the Boss say? Are you sure we can ignore it?" One of the guards asked when he saw that one of the chains was covered in cracks and appeared to be on the verge of shattering.

"It’s fine," said the guard who contacted the Demon Sealers.

"The Boss assured me that it’s normal and that they are already aware of—"

Clang!

Suddenly, one of the golden chains shattered, startling everyone there.

"Uh... I think you should contact the Boss again."

The guards contacted the Demon Sealers for the second time shortly later.

"Senior, one of the seals has shattered!"

"What? It shattered? What about the other seals? There should be nine of them."

"The other eight are fine."

"Then ignore it. We will deal with it once the Demon Slaying Parade ends."
