Why must the devil be Defeated?

"Hummm—!"

As the surging Magic Power was poured into the massive Teleportation Array drawn on the ground of the plaza in front of the Enchanting Demon Castle Gate, the air suddenly trembled, causing bursts of brilliance to rise from the array.

"Ah, guess that'll do."

A certain Human Hero, deemed to have a really thick skull, withdrew the hand that was frantically expelling Magic Power a second ago. Feeling that less than one percent of his Magic Power had been drained and that this power was rapidly recovering at an astonishing speed, he immediately reflected on it.

"..."

Gray, Hart, Xi Sai, and Sean all watched this scene in silence.

"Tsk..."

Liel also watched Shane, who appeared unfazed, pursing her lips in annoyance.

"...Your Magic Power is quite strong."

Even Chafne looked at Shane with a strange expression.

For a consumption that would awe even a Legendary Great Mage, Shane appeared completely relaxed after such expenditure, truly catching everyone off guard.

At the very least, the two brothers from the Alien Spirit Clan looked at Shane with a hint of wariness in their eyes.

It was evident that Shane's performance had a certain detering effect on them.

Shane, though, shrugged as if he hadn't noticed this at all.

"Probably because I'm a Hero," he said with a casual comment.

"Don't give me that." Chafne slapped Shane lightly and said, "Not all the Heroes of the past had Magic Power as extraordinary as yours."

Her slightly annoyed and coquettish demeanor caused the expressions of several Enchanting Demon underlings present to change subtly.

Shane didn't pay attention to these guys' attitudes. He didn't even look at Chafne; instead, he stood in the Teleportation Array, watching the streams of light flying back and forth, and spoke to Chafne.

"Can we depart now?"

Shane seemed a bit impatient.

For such impatience from him, Chafne let out a snort.

"So eager to leave my Enchanting Demon City? You just can't wait to see Little Aiyi and those cuties by your side?"

This remark already had a somewhat sarcastic undertone.

Of course, such behavior, to the other observers, seemed quite off.

"Chafne, my lady..."

Liel hesitated, with an expression that was at a loss for words.

"This..."

Hart also appeared clueless.

A mix of surprise and bitterness flashed in Gray's eyes, and even his gaze toward Shane became strange.

As for Xi Sai and Sean, the two stayed silent but it was clear they felt quite uneasy.

There was no helping it; this side of Chafne was something no one had ever witnessed.

When had the Chafne of the past ever been sarcastic, or shown a sour attitude toward a man?

It was almost as if... she was jealous?

But how could that be possible?

"Cough cough..."

Finally, Shane seemed to sense the weirdness in the atmosphere, coughed a few times, and tried to remind Chafne to be mindful of her impact.

But Chafne was clearly not taking the hint.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" she retorted, giving him a glare that fell short of directly grabbing Shane's ear.

Shane was utterly speechless.

Did the Enchanting Demon Lord not even care to avoid suspicion?

Thinking so, Shane didn't realize that Chafne indeed had no intention of avoiding suspicion.

Why should she?

Had she done something shameful?

Perhaps if she'd slept with her sister's future husband, it might be prudent to avoid suspicion in front of her sisters, but these people here didn't prompt any such thoughts in Chafne.

In other words, Chafne remained as ever, not putting these boring people in her eyes. She wouldn't bother with them ordinarily, so naturally, she wouldn't care to avoid suspicion in front of them.

This was complete disregard, a total lack of interest in others.

Among those present, aside from the very concerned Liel, Chafne didn't really care to pay attention to anyone else.

As an aside, Shane's score in Chafne's heart had now skyrocketed to ninety-eight, just one point away from Aiyi at the top and far beyond everyone else by a whole level.

However, if Shane knew this, he would definitely complain.

"After all we've been through, I only score ninety-eight points and still rank below your sister—you're tough to impress."

Indeed, this so-called family of Demon siblings was truly a band of sister-fanciers, including Chafne.

In such a manner, everyone, led by Chafne, entered the Teleportation Array.

"Let's depart."

At Chafne's command, Liel, with a speechless expression on his face, stood next to Shane, pushed aside by Chafne, and used the Crystal Pen in her hand to activate the Teleportation Array.

The next second, the Teleportation Array turned into a beam of light, enveloping Shane and his companions.

Immediately, the light tore through the air, speeding toward the Moon Demon Territory like a meteor.

...

At the same time, in the various territories of the demons, one Demon after another began to move.

"It's time."

Lide, with a group of her officers, looked toward the Moon Demon Territory and stepped into the freshly drawn Teleportation Array.

"Ai Yi~~ Lili~~ Shane~~"

Milu also seemed to know what day it was, and thinking of the familiar faces she was about to see, she happily leaped into the Teleportation Array, causing several gruesomely fierce-looking Demon Clan Officers to hurriedly follow her.

And in a swamp, a girl emerged slowly, naked and bathing in the mire, her skin unstained by the slightest filth, instead appearing even more pale.

"It's time to depart, Lady Camina."

A female Demon Clan Officer stood by the swamp, respectfully addressing the Demon in the mire.

"Understood."

Camina replied indifferently, stepping out of the swamp and glancing at the bubbling, boiling water, she snorted coldly.

"As expected of the Evil Energy released by the strongest Evil God, capable of eroding even the soul and very existence, it even took me three full days to separate it along with a part of the Poison Body, quite troublesome indeed."

Within that boiling swamp water were dense, smoke-like Evil Energies that resembled miasma, bubbling up with every bursting bubble.

Who would have thought that this unsightly swamp was, in fact, a clear lake just three days ago?

But then Camina came, soaked in it for three full days, and ended up turning it into what it is now.

Poison Demon Camina, with her Unique Skill, the "Heavenly Cold Poison Body," could turn an entire ocean into a sea of deadly toxin with just a drop of her blood, let alone what would become of a clear lake after her three-day soak.

Not to mention, Camina also expelled the Evil Energy that had invaded her body, along with toxins secreted during the soak, merging it into the lake, making it unimaginably horrific.

The female Demon Officer nearby was already feeling a bit dizzy, having inhaled just a bit of poison and Evil Energy, she was on the verge of collapsing.

"Ca... Lady Camina..."

The female Demon appeared almost ready to cry, casting a plea-filled gaze at Camina, her face ashen.

That look was clear—she was begging Camina to take her away from here.

If they didn't leave soon, even as a Legendary strong Demon Officer, and originating from the most poison-resistant clan within the Poison Demon Territory, she wouldn't last long before succumbing to the poison and dying on the spot.

"Let's go."

Camina glanced at her, raising her naked form, her voice spreading slowly.

"Let's go and meet that Evil God, and the Hero who intends to take our sister away."

Upon hearing this, the female Demon hurried forward, dressing Camina in her clothes.

...

Meanwhile, at the same moment within the Dragon Demon Valley of the Dragon Demon Territory, Ai Yi was hugging a pillow, standing in front of a cave.

Two Demon Clan members, both female, accompanied her.

One had dragon horns on her head, holding a barrel of drink and guzzling it down greedily, while the other carried a haughty air, looking very much like a proud Dragon Girl.

Clearly, these two Demons were two of Ai Yi's four main officers.

Like Jiasinta, they were Dragons who had undergone Human Transformation.

They were the best of the Dragon Race—women who appeared delicate and beautiful but possessed power so great that very few in the entire Demon Clan could match it.

They stood with Ai Yi, looking at the cave ahead, seeming to wait for something.

"Isn't she coming out yet?"

The haughty Dragon Girl muttered.

"She should be coming out soon, right?"

The horned drinking Dragon Girl seemed somewhat carefree.

Ai Yi didn't pay attention to the two capable officers behind her; she just looked at the cave and whispered softly,

"By all Reason, she should be coming out by now."

Hearing Ai Yi's words, both Dragon Clan Officers couldn't help but show a hint of anticipation.

"I really want to see how strong a Limit Level Dragon Species Human Transformation, awakened with a Unique Skill, will become," said the haughty Dragon Girl, filled with expectation.

"Yeah." The horned drinking Dragon Girl also grinned, her spirit brimming as if ready for battle. "I want to have a good spar with her too."

Ai Yi wasn't surprised by her capable officers' comments.

"The Dragon Cave is a sacred place for our Dragon Race, while it's not as significant as the Inner Sanctum granted by the Supreme God to the Human Race, it can still help the Dragon Race to enhance their Spiritual Wisdom, boost spirituality, refine Magic Power, and even fortify the body, increasing the chances for the Dragon Race's Human Transformation, or even accelerate the process," Ai Yi noted, looking ahead with some expectation.

"With that girl's capabilities, having been inside for several days, it's about time for her to emerge."

At her words, an intimidating dragon roar came from the cave known as the Dragon Cave.

The next moment, astonishing Magic Power burst forth from the cave.

"Here she comes!"

"Here she comes!"

The two Dragon Clan Officers immediately perked up.

Ai Yi's eyes brightened, and her lips curved into a smile.

It wasn't long before the astonishing Magic Power receded.

And out of the Dragon Cave, a figure came slowly, completely bare.

Looking at that figure, Ai Yi smiled.
