Why must the devil be Defeated?

"What...!?"

When the terrifying magic power swept out from that human and turned into a storm, enveloping the entire battlefield, not only did all the members of the Demon Clan change their expressions, but even Shajina and Lakaid looked terrified.

"Legendary!" Shajina exclaimed in shock, "He... he is a legendary-level fighter?"

The aura released by that human told everyone this fact.

"This is bad!"

Lakaid also realized he had bitten off more than he could chew and his complexion turned pale.

But by then, it was too late.

"Granting·Puncture."

Suddenly, the human stomped his foot, injecting the enormous magic power directly into the ground.

The next second, the ground trembled violently and erupted.

"Ptui!" "Ptui!" "Ptui!"...

These were the sounds of bodies being pierced.

Suddenly, sharp ground spikes erupted around the human, resembling long spears, piercing through the bodies of multiple Horned Monster warriors.

"Ah!"

"Don't!"

"Ah ah ah ah...!"

Accompanied by screams and wails, one by one, the Horned Monster warriors were mercilessly impaled, hanging from the rocky spires.

Blood dyed the spires red.

The bloody scene terrified the Sand Scale Clan warriors, causing them to retreat continuously.

"Quick! Fall back!"

Even Shajina was stunned and, upon recovering, she quickly called out with a trembling voice, clearly frightened as well.

Only then did the Sand Scale Clan warriors, together with the equally panic-stricken demons, start running away in disarray, resembling prey in a frenzied escape.

As for the people of the Horned Monster Clan, most of them were now gone.

"Thump..."

A magic wand slipped from the hands of a Horned Monster mage and dropped to the ground.

These mages, who were some distance from the human intruder on the battlefield, watched helplessly as their kinsmen were brutally killed, all frozen in terror and trembling uncontrollably.

"Quick... run...!"

Lakaid too was terrified.

It should be noted; those were the proud warriors of the Horned Monster Clan.

Although the Horned Monster Clan specializes in nurturing mages with wide-range attack magic, they also have many frontline warriors, each of them Level Sixty and above, comparable to Level Seventy warriors of the Human Race.

Now, thousands of Horned Monster warriors were wiped out in the blink of an eye, an absolutely horrifying sight that shattered Lakaid's courage.

Immediate, Lakaid hurriedly abandoned his subordinates and fled in panic.

Unbeknownst to him, amidst those countless blood-stained spikes, the human's gaze had already locked onto him.

"Grant·Binding."

With a soft chant, Lakaid's fleeing figure suddenly froze.

The air around him suddenly compressed, locking him in place with a force that made his eyes bulge.

"Whoosh!"

In the faint sound of air being split, the human's figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Thinking of killing me?"

A voice, both mocking and smiling, reached Lakaid's ears, filling him with dread.

"Please... mercy..."

The commander of the Horned Monster Clan, with tears and snot running down his face, attempted to beg for mercy.

But before he could finish speaking, a finger pressed against his chest.

"Grant·Blast."

At the fingertip, a bit of magic power entered Lakaid's body and wildly surged inside.

"Boom!"

Soon after, with an explosive sound, Lakaid's body burst open, turning into a spray of blood that completely disappeared from this world.

"————"

Complete silence enveloped the area.

The Sand Scale Clan, led by Shajina, looked fearfully at the human standing amidst the pool of blood; each of them was terrified.

Shajina was no different, her eyes filled with fear as she looked at Shane.

"Miss... Shajina?"

Weier called out to Shajina with a voice almost on the verge of tears, as if pleading for help.

Undoubtedly, the Sand Scale Clan were also scared out of their wits.

Their mightiest warriors who couldn't be beaten were instantly annihilated by the hands of that human. The people of the Sand Scale Clan naturally became very afraid, even thinking they might be the next victims.

"...Everyone, stay calm; don't panic."

Shajina took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

She knew, if he wanted to kill them, they would stand absolutely no chance.

Although the opponent was a human, since he had reached the legendary level, that was an existence they had to look up to.

In front of a legendary-level fighter, besides those great races standing at the pinnacle of the Demon Realm, other races were mere ants.

The Sand Scale Clan, even lower than the Horned Monster Clan and incomparable to those top tier races of the Demon Realm, couldn't manage even a slight resistance in front of a legendary-level fighter.

Having realized this, Shajina bit her lip and walked towards where the fearsome fighter was standing.

"Miss!"

"Miss!"

Led by Weier, numerous warriors of the Sand Scale Clan couldn't help but call out.

Shajina, as if deaf to their cries, walked directly up to That Person.

"Daughter of the Sand Scale Clan Chief, Shajina, at your service," she said.

Shajina respectfully bowed to the Human.

The Human seemed to release something pent-up, and his expression lightened somewhat.

"Sand Scale Clan?" The other surveyed Shajina and asked, "I haven't heard of you. Are you famous?"

The somewhat hurtful words brought a bitter smile to Shajina's heart.

"The Sand Scale Clan is merely one of the weaker races in the Chaos Demon Domain, naturally unworthy of Your Excellency's remembrance."

Shajina's demeanor remained respectful.

However, the other's response was a bit strange.

"Chaos Demon Domain?" The Human reflected then said to Shajina, "I'm sorry, but I haven't even heard of the place you mentioned."

The blunt words caught Shajina off guard.

After hesitating for a moment, Shajina tentatively said, "Could it be, Your Excellency, that this is your first visit to the Demon Realm?"

"Correct," the other nodded decisively, "I am from the Mitra Kingdom, a Human who just arrived in the Demon Realm, and due to quite a significant mishap, my knowledge about this place is nonexistent."

Indeed.

The visitor was Shane, who had unexpectedly arrived here due to the collapse of the portal to the Demon Realm.

Shane touched the Holy Sword still at his waist, somewhat reassured by its presence.

Shajina, slightly enlightened, nodded. Observing this young, overly legendary Human powerhouse who seemed unpretentious, she felt somewhat relaxed.

"Although I do not fully understand what transpired, Your Excellency, with your absolute power, you helped our Sand Scale Clan avert a crisis. Please allow me to express my utmost gratitude on behalf of the Sand Scale Clan," Shajina said cautiously, "If you don't mind, would you care to join us at our clan's territory?"

Upon hearing this, Shane paused to think and then looked up to the sky.

There, where a vortex had burst through space, was now nothing.

(I wonder how Lilith and You Lin are faring...)

Shane instinctively touched the mark on his arm.

It was the True Seal entrusted to him by Lilith—its presence meant that even in peril, Lilith would not truly die but come back and revive by his side.

(I shouldn't worry about Lilith, and You Lin...)

They probably needn't worry either?

Though not as reassuring as Lilith, You Lin was also a Limit Level Dragon Species. It seemed unlikely that she would easily come into harm.

(Getting separated wasn't ideal, but that is the undeniable truth.)

Given the circumstances, it was better first to figure out more about the Demon Realm before attempting to find them.

With that thought, Shane approached Shajina.

"Before heading out to this Sand Scale Clan's territory, could you tell me, whose Demon territory is this?"

Shane, despite his limited knowledge, understood that the Demon Realm was governed and managed by the Six Great Demons.

Each of the Six Great Demons ruled over a portion, dividing the Demon Realm among themselves.

Thus, if this was the Demon Realm, it must undoubtedly be under one of the Six Great Demons' territories.

Shane hoped he was in the Dragon Demon Territory.

That way, he could reunite with Ai Yi much faster.

Or even if it were the Moon Demon Territory, Beast Demon Territory, or Ghost Demon Territory.

He was acquainted with these major territories' Lords, and contacting them to find Ai Yi wouldn't be too difficult.

As for the other two Demons, Shane hadn't met them yet.

Meeting them might be a bit more challenging.

But as they say, fear brings what one fears.

"This is the domain ruled by Enchanting Demon Lord, within the Enchanting Demon Territory."

Shajina disclosed this to Shane.

"The Enchanting Demon Territory is divided into eight major regions. The Enchanting Demon Lord resides in the central region, the Enchanting Demon Domain, while we are on the fringe, the Chaos Demon Domain bordering the Poison Demon Territory to the south of the Demon Realm."

Hearing Shajina's words, Shane felt somewhat disappointed.

"The Enchanting Demon Territory?" Shane muttered, touching his nose resignedly, "Then do you know how one might meet the Enchanting Demon?"

"This..." Shajina was also startled.

How to meet the Enchanting Demon?

Was this legendary-level Human powerhouse here for the Enchanting Demon Lord?

Shajina's look at Shane suddenly became a mix of surprise, realization, sympathy, and pity.

This puzzled Shane.

Why was this girl looking at him like that?

Shane felt as if the imposing image he had just erected had crumbled.

But Shajina offered no explanation; she merely responded,

"We are but an insignificant clan in the Chaos Demon Domain; it's simply not possible for us to meet such a being as the Enchanting Demon Lord."

She wasn't trying to deceive Shane.

Shajina truly had no access to such a domain.

"Alright, then."

Shane shrugged.

It seemed, after all, this journey was set to encounter some twists.
