Why must the devil be Defeated?

In the sky overhead, Miss You Lin was flying at an incredible speed, her wings slicing through the clouds and leaving twin trails of condensed vapor behind her.

On the dragon's back, Jiasinta had completely forgotten his previous displeasure and was speaking to Shane with great excitement.

"Do you know how few Limit Level beings there are in the Demon Clan?"

"Three!"

"Just three!"

"Furthermore, those three Limit Level members of the Demon Clan are all subordinates under Lord Moon Demon Sela!"

"That means, in the Demon Realm, aside from Lord Moon Demon Sela, there are no Limit Level warriors under the other demons' command!"

"But now, you've actually trained a Limit Level dragon, and it's one that reached the Limit Level before undergoing Human Transformation. Do you have any idea what kind of sensation this would cause if news of it spread back to the Demon Realm, to the Dragon Demon Territory?"

"I... In our Dragon Demon Territory, we only dream of training a Limit Level dragon!"

Like this, Jiasinta had been speaking excitedly without pause from the beginning.

Moreover, he had grabbed Shane's shoulders and started shaking him vigorously.

"You'll let her go to the Demon Realm with us, right? You will, won't you?"

"Such a strong dragon, being left in the Human Realm, it's just wasting a natural resource!"

"Let her go to the Demon Realm with us! Even just for a visit would do!"

"Once she successfully transforms into a human and awakens her Unique Skill, we'll definitely let her return if she wishes. What do you think?"

Jiasinta looked at Shane with hopeful eyes.

In response to this, Shane only wanted to laugh it off.

"Sorry, not happening," Shane said as he pushed Jiasinta's hands away, annoyed. "Miss You Lin has already started her Human Transformation. Even if she doesn't go to the Demon Realm it won't matter. I don't believe you can't see that."

"But... but letting her go to the Demon Realm would accelerate her transformation into a human!" Jiasinta was getting desperate, he hurriedly continued, "We have no intention of taking the dragon from you; we just want her to take a look at the Dragon Demon Territory, to see the place where our Dragon Race really belongs!"

That was the truth.

After all, Jiasinta didn't believe he could ever successfully coax away this rare and precious dragon from the hands of the Hero to leave Shane and come with him to the Dragon Demon Territory.

Additionally, Ai Yi was very fond of Shane, and now she was even his fiancée, surely she would back Shane up in everything and not allow Jiasinta to undercut him.

But Jiasinta had his own little schemes.

(After all, humans don't live long, nothing like us from the Dragon Race. I could first take Miss You Lin back to the Dragon Demon Territory to win her over, make her stay, and then when her master passes away from old age, she could join our Dragon Demon Territory. That wouldn't be stealing her away, right?)

That was the kind of wishful thinking Jiasinta had.

Unfortunately, what he did not know was that Shane had the Supreme God's Blessing, which made his lifespan far from short, maybe even longer than his. If Jiasinta knew that, he would definitely despair.

Shane wouldn't tell Jiasinta such things, nor did he care to pay any attention to Jiasinta.

He simply pushed Jiasinta away and called out to Tielle and the others nearby.

"You really don't plan on going to the Demon Realm with me?" Shane said thus.

Yesterday, when Shane proposed a trip to the Demon Realm to uncover the full story behind the whole matter, Tielle, Laischa, and even Lasha unhesitatingly stated that they would not accompany him.

Yes.

Tielle, Laischa, and Lasha had no intention of joining Shane on his journey to the Demon Realm. It was an unavoidable situation.

"Since my business in the Imperial City has concluded without incident, after wasting a month of time, it's right for me to return and apologize to Vivian and the others for leaving without saying goodbye." Tielle had no intention of accompanying Shane and did not even display a shred of reluctance, showing off her resolve with absolute clarity.

Laischa and Lasha were just as determined.

"Don't you think that, with our identities, going to the Demon Realm would be a bit too sensitive?" Laischa said, smiling without really smiling, leaving Shane at a loss for words.

If it had been in the past, Shane surely wouldn't have understood Laischa's words.

But now, Shane knew that both Laischa and Lasha were beings of Magic Life, one formed from the core of the Demon King's Magic Power and the other born from the Demon King's very body, both intricately tied to the Demon King and being closely watched and feared by the upper echelons of the God, Human, Demon clans.

If these two, Laischa and Lasha, were to travel in the Human Realm, that would be one thing; but if they were to set foot in the Demon Realm, it would inevitably cause a huge uproar.

After all, unlike the Human Race, whose lifespan is generally short and who barely recognize the Demon King after a thousand years, the Demon Clan not only originated from the Demon King but also has many members with extremely long lives who participated in the final battle a thousand years ago.

In such a situation, should Laischa and Lasha venture into the Demon Realm, the impact would certainly not be less than the revelation of Shane's identity as the Hero to the Demon Clan.

It might even surpass it.

The identities of these two were indeed too sensitive and fundamentally unfit to appear in the Demon Realm.

Therefore, not only did Laischa express refusal, even Lasha said indifferently,

"I will wait for your return at the Beizut Family's home."

Their attitude was crystal clear—they were absolutely not going to the Demon Realm.

"Alright then." Shane could only nod in agreement and then said to Laischa, "Please take care of Tielle and Lasha for me, bring them back home safely."

"Do you even need to ask?" Laischa said, a bit irritated, "If it weren't for all the trouble you cause, I would have liked to resolve your and Lasha's situation quickly to see if I could just spirit Lasha away and fly off into the distance."

As she spoke, Laischa extended her hand, placing one arm on Tielle's shoulder and the other on Lasha's.

Seeing this, Shane hastily spoke up.

"Be careful on the way, and if anything unexpected happens, just push Laischa out to take the hits for you, got it?"

It was clear that Shane was speaking to Tielle and Lasha.

"Understood."

Tielle replied with a calm face.

"Although this shouldn't be a maid's duty, considering she is the lady, even if pushed out, she would safely escape unharmed, so I'll consider it."

Lasha responded expressionlessly as well.

"...Are you serious?"

Laischa's mouth twitched.

At this moment, the lady felt as if she had been abandoned by the entire world.

Had her efforts over the past month, protecting this little girl Tielle, all been in vain, only to be repaid with betrayal?

That was bad enough.

But... Lasha, you've really changed, no longer the adorable maid who would respectfully say 'Lady, hello' and 'Lady, I need.'

With a severe injury to her feelings, Laischa took Tielle and Lasha and, with a Space Transfer, disappeared from the dragon's back.

"..."

Shane watched the scene unfold, feeling suddenly quite lonely without them.

That was until a tiny figure squeezed into his embrace.

Shane came back to his senses and looked down.

There, Lilith was hugging his waist tightly, looking up at him with her large eyes blinking.

Those eyes, which seemed as if they could speak, let Shane understand Lilith's feelings.

Shane instantly grinned.

"Right, I still have you."

Shane hugged Lilith back and began to smile.

Lilith instantly beamed with joy.

The warmth of the moment made even Jiasinta, standing nearby, sigh with emotion.

(Not only does the master favor this hero, but so does this Evil God.)

Jiasinta mused to himself.

Jesse and Lis exchanged a look and both remained silent.

Well, as the only two who hadn't reached Legendary status in the group, they really had no right to speak.

"Roar!"

Even You Lin managed to roar to assert her presence.

"I know, I have you too, I won't forget."

Shane patted the dragon's back beneath him, and the loneliness in his heart dissipated quite a bit.

Jiasinta's heart leapt, and he quickly asked, "Does that mean you'll take Miss You Lin with you to the Demon Realm?"

Jiasinta felt cautious yet couldn't help but anticipate the answer.

Shane felt a chill seeing Jiasinta's demeanor, as if he had goosebumps all over the floor.

"Don't be such a tease as a grown man, alright?" Shane said with his arms crossed and shivering, "First things first, we'll go, but if you try anything weird with You Lin, don't blame me for turning hostile, okay?"

"Don't worry!" exclaimed Jiasinta happily, "Absolutely not!"

"Good then." Shane said with a face full of doubt but resigned himself to this response.

Jiasinta instantly felt uplifted, and even began to view Shane more favorably.

During the time it took for You Lin to head to the nearest major Magic Source, Jiasinta briefed Shane about the current state of the Demon Realm and the possible issues they might encounter.

"The marriage contract you've made with the master should calm most of the Demon Clan, they won't be as restless as before, but there will definitely be many who do not acknowledge this."

Jiasinta explained to Shane.

"There might be some who will deliberately cause trouble for you, create obstacles, or even do some underhanded deeds in secret. Once you arrive in the Demon Realm, remember not to stray from our sight."

Jiasinta had received orders from Ai Yi to act as Shane's guide and ensure everything went smoothly for his trip to the Demon Realm.

"Even within the Dragon Demon Territory, there will surely be those who cannot accept the master's marriage contract with you. If they give you trouble, don't be too impulsive; let me handle it."

Jiasinta kept instructing.

Shane, for the most part, let it go in one ear and out the other.

He was fine with the briefing but took the advice lightly.

Not being impulsive when bullied?

That just wouldn't be Shane.

Therefore, what Shane thought was, you give your advice, and I'll do my own thing; let's not mess with each other.

Jiasinta had no idea that the troublemaker before him was ready to stir things up again; he went on and on with his advice like a concerned old aunt.

Finally, You Lin arrived at the nearest large Magic Power Source to the Imperial City and rushed into the mountains.

At the same time, several figures in the sky also flew toward this location.
