Chapter 717: 654 'Limit Level
The Demon Clan would face difficulties because of the Hero's exposure, that much was foreseeable.
Each of them had their own reasons, and in the absence of Demons showing themselves, the presence of the Hero naturally touched a nerve, thereby creating the current situation.
However, the appearance of officers directly under the Demons here was a bit more thought-provoking.
Because the Demons had not given any instructions regarding the Hero.
In fact, among the Six Great Demons, several had personal dealings with Shane.
Under such circumstances, they would not likely allow their subordinates to trouble Shane.
At least, until it was clear whether the Hero's emergence was truly a plot by the Divine Race, these Demons would definitely not attack Shane directly.
Thus, it might be understandable if subordinates of the Enchanting Demon and Poison Demon, who did not know Shane, appeared here, but both the Beast Demon and Ghost Demon had dealings with Shane, and ordinarily, it would be unlikely that they would send someone to block Shane.
Yet, the officers directly under the Enchanting Demon, Poison Demon, Beast Demon, and Ghost Demon all had people arrive here, and they were among the more impulsive and aggressive, which gave others serious pause for thought.
Jiasinta understood the situation of these individuals quite well, and at a glance, she could discern their true motives.
In simple terms, their interest lay not in the wine per se.
"You all are here because of personal gain or grudges, and completely without the consent of your masters," Jiasinta said, looking directly at her colleagues, without any deference.
"I hope you all think through this carefully. If you really exploit authority for personal gain, taking private revenge, then when the masters seek accountability, whether you can bear it."
Her words were met with icy and hostile stares from her colleagues.
They all looked at Jiasinta coldly, emitting a very dangerous aura that caused the ground to tremble slightly.
The pressure from several Legendary Demon Clan powerhouses was undeniably terrifying.
As a race known for strength, the Demon Clan was generally stronger than the Human Race and even the Divine Race, and the power of their Legendary figures was naturally incomparable to those of the same level in the Human Race.
Even Alder, who had the lowest level among them at ninety-one, released an aura that was not weaker than Legendary figures like Rocque and Sarilo.
This showed just how powerful the combined aura of these four could be.
Nevertheless, faced with this momentum, Jiasinta stood completely unruffled and even managed to shield the slightly overwhelmed Jesse and Lis from the oppressive aura.
Seeing this, Glen, Alder, Qibul, and Ireza all had a somewhat solemn expression.
There was no helping it.
They knew that Jiasinta was stronger than any of them.
In terms of level, Jiasinta was higher than the four of them.
In terms of power, Jiasinta, transformed from the Dragon Race, not only had a physique comparable to that of a great dragon but also possessed a Unique Skill that could multiply her strength several times over.
Put simply, Jiasinta in her normal state could match Sarilo, who had used the Unique Skill "Dragon Power"; if she also used her Unique Skill, transforming into a dragon and exponentially increasing her strength, then Sarilo would only be brutally defeated.
With Jiasinta and Sarilo's levels neck and neck, the gap between the Demon Clan and the Human Race at the same level was apparent.
Frankly speaking, the four, including Glen, were somewhat afraid of Jiasinta.
Among the Demon Clan, all officers directly under the Six Great Demons were Legendary, but there was a great disparity even among Legendary figures, resulting in a reverse correlation between the number of officers under Demon control and their individual strength.
For example, among the Six Great Demons, the Poison Demon Camina had the most subordinates, a full ten, but these ten officers were all somewhat weaker than the others.
On the other hand, the Dragon Demon Ai Yi only had four subordinates, more than half fewer than Poison Demon Camina.
However, what they lacked in numbers, they made up for in incredible quality.
Due to the relationship with dragons in Ai Yi's domain, these dragons, once transformed into humans, possessed extraordinary strength; thus, Ai Yi's four officers were among the top in all the officers' rankings.
This meant that the number of officers under a Demon's control and individual officer strength were inversely proportional.
The more officers there were, the weaker each individual officer's strength might be, requiring numbers to make up for it.
Conversely, the fewer the officers, the stronger the individual's power, the epitome of quality over quantity.
To sum up, as one of the four major officers under Dragon Demon Ai Yi, Jiasinta's personal strength was undoubtedly stronger than the officers of the Enchanting Demon, Beast Demon, Poison Demon, and Ghost Demon.
In the Six Great Demons, the Dragon Demon's subordinates were the second fewest in number, meaning their personal strength was mostly within the top ten of all officers, some even in the top five, which was terrifying.
Jiasinta's presence indeed commanded wariness, including the quick-tempered Ireza, who wasn't keen on offending her.
Of course, while Ireza and others might not dare to cause offense, that didn't mean others wouldn't.
"Enough, stop bickering."
As this indifferent and serene voice reached everyone's ears, all the officers present, Jiasinta included, shuddered.
The owner of the voice was the last Demon officer present.
It was a woman.
A Demon woman wrapped in vines, with hair like willow leaves, two flowers atop her head, barefoot, back exposed, and clad only in a thin dress akin to a bodysuit.
She was beautiful, seeming to be older than the voluptuous Glen.
But the woman's expression was very cold, her eyes as icy as frost, like an unfeeling machine, and despite not releasing an aura like the others, she exuded an eerie chill.
"Hette Yada..."
Jiasinta unconsciously called out the woman's name, her voice tinged with a faint trace of fear.
Not just Jiasinta, but the rest also instinctively fell silent, with Jesse and Lis looking slightly pale, as if they were terrified of this Demon woman, almost as if they wanted to flee in panic.
This was unavoidable.
"… The reason they're here, I'm well aware of it."
Jiasinta fell silent for a moment before looking at the Demon Clan woman known as Hette Yada and spoke.
"But I really didn't expect you to come."
There was no other reason.
"As one of the only three officers under the command of Lord Sera, the Supreme Moon Demon, and also one of the three Limit Level powerhouses of the entire Demon Clan, I really don't understand why you would come to the Human Realm behind Lord Sera's back without permission."
Jiasinta exposed the other's identity.
Hette Yada did not show much reaction, merely glancing at Jiasinta.
But with that one look, Jiasinta felt as though all the blood in his body was about to freeze into ice.
This was not an exaggeration, but pure fact.
After all, the Limit Level powerhouse before him had a legend that she once turned tens of thousands of troops into ice sculptures with just one look.
The Demon Clan officer known as Hette Yada then withdrew her gaze and spoke coldly.
"I came only because I need the Hero to do something for me."
Having said that, Hette Yada fell silent.
"To do something?"
Jiasinta frowned, wanting to ask what it was, yet he felt the chilling aura around Hette Yada and quickly shut his mouth.
He was very aware that this was not someone to be trifled with.
If he talked too much and displeased her, even with the backing of the Dragon Demon and being a Demon Clan officer, she would make sure that he couldn't get away with it.
The evidence was that Ireza, the impulsive one, was looking at Hette Yada with eyes full of fear.
Because he was once impertinent to Hette Yada and ended up being frozen by her for hundreds of years, only to be revived hundreds of years later.
In the Demon Clan, many even believed that in terms of brutality, she could match their master, Dragon Demon Ai.
Given that, even Jiasinta didn't dare provoke her.
As Hette Yada strolled over, she looked in the direction of the Imperial City and murmured softly.
"Too slow."
Clearly, the dangerous Limit Level powerhouse was also growing impatient.
"Hette Yada," Jiasinta sensed something bad and quickly spoke, "If you start wreaking havoc in the Human Realm, Lord Sera will blame you."
This was the only thing Jiasinta could bring up to restrain Hette Yada.
However, if this could make Hette Yada obedient, she would not be regarded as a being as ruthless as the Dragon Demon.
"If Lord Sera asks for my crimes, then I will accept them."
Hette Yada uttered the cold words.
"So, I will not wait any longer."
Hearing this, Jiasinta knew.
He could not prevent what was going to happen next.
"I did my best, brat."
Thinking of a certain Kingdom Noble who suddenly became the Hero, Jiasinta smiled bitterly.
On the other hand, Glen, Alder, Qibul, and Ireza, a group of four people, couldn't help but feel joy at this scene.
Then, on Hette Yada's body, a wave of cold Magic Power began to emerge.
Just at that moment...
"Boom!"
Along with a thunderous roar, a terrifying pressure suddenly appeared in the sky, mercilessly suppressing the whole scene.
"————!?"
All the Demons present changed their expression drastically, some taken aback, some with eyes wide open, some shocked beyond belief, some crying out, causing the shouting that had been ongoing until just now to stop abruptly.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...
This was the sound of Demon Clan elites unable to resist falling heavily on the ground.
"What!?"
"This is...!?"
"Ugh...!"
"Ah...!"
Glen, Alder, Qibul, and Ireza, the group of four, also had their expressions change drastically.
"...!"
Hette Yada's eyes sharpened, and she suddenly looked up toward the sky.
There, unbeknownst to all, several figures had quietly arrived.
The person leading them was a young Human man.
"You guys are quite brazen."
He smiled like this.
Smiling without a trace of emotion.
