The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated

Chapter 584: A World-Shocking Battle

“You…!?”

Direkiss’s gaze towards Shien Buztout changed drastically.

How did he know?

How did he know about “that’s” existence?

Direkiss’s face completely changed color, his mind in turmoil.

The head of the Raifurut family didn’t know that Shien had already dealt with a Demon Lord Larva.

Back in the Kingdom, when Harvis led the attack to annihilate the Raifurut family’s elite troops, Wolram had summoned a Demon Lord Larva to help him escape.

From that moment on, Shien knew that the Raifurut family had a Demon Lord Larva.

It was highly likely given to the Raifurut family by Mara, the Imperial Consort who had intricate connections with the Old Demon Faction.

Therefore, Shien just smirked at Direkiss.

“If that’s the Raifurut family’s last resort, then unfortunately, you’re about to lose your last hope.”

As Shien spoke, the ground of the underground hall suddenly trembled violently.

Shien’s [Outer Awareness of Heaven’s Decree] easily captured the familiar magic power.

That evil, chaotic, and oppressive magic power.

“Boom—!”

The ground suddenly exploded, sending rubble and debris flying.

“Gaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!”

Amidst the dust and smoke, a monster’s roar echoed, transforming into a shockwave that blew away everything in the underground hall.

A giant figure emerged from the ground, appearing before everyone, entering the underground hall.

Dragon wings.

Centipede body.

Human upper body.

It was the Demon Lord Larva.

“Sacred Beast!”

“The Sacred Beast bestowed upon us by the Imperial Consort has appeared!”

“Wonderful!”

“We’re saved!”

The terrified Raifurut family members, seeing this scene, their eyes lit up, and they shouted joyfully, as if the monstrous creature before them wasn’t a terrifying monster, but a divine being that could save them. Some even had fanatical and adoring gazes.

They called this evil Demon Lord Larva a Sacred Beast.

They looked even more fanatical than fanatics, almost like cultists.

“Truly a disgusting bunch.”

Shien turned around and looked at the Demon Lord Larva.

“Gaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!”

The Demon Lord Larva immediately roared, spewing scorching dragon breath towards Shien.

The dragon breath, capable of penetrating all defenses, instantly evaporated the air in the entire underground hall.

High temperatures swept through the hall.

Shien, however, wasn’t surprised but delighted. He glanced behind him, a playful smile appearing on his face.

Then, Shien vanished in a flash.

With Shien’s disappearance, the Raifurut family head behind him was exposed to the dragon breath.

“No—!”

Looking at the approaching scorching dragon breath, Direkiss’s eyes widened, and he let out a terrified scream.

In the next second, Direkiss was mercilessly engulfed by the dragon breath.

Without even a chance to scream, the arrogant head of the Raifurut family was instantly vaporized by the scorching dragon breath.

“Boom—!”

An explosion echoed.

The Demon Lord Larva’s dragon breath shattered the entire underground hall, engulfing it in flames as it collapsed.

Shien appeared in mid-air, then immediately teleported away from the collapsing underground hall.

“Gaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!”

The Demon Lord Larva roared, unconcerned that its dragon breath had annihilated the Raifurut family head. It swung its centipede tail, and its massive body lunged forward, shattering the ceiling of the underground hall and burrowing upwards.

Only a group of Raifurut family members and assassins remained in the collapsing underground hall, screaming in terror and despair.

“No!”

“Save us!”

“Great Sacred Beast!”

“Don’t abandon us!”

“No…! No…!”

Amidst these desperate cries, the underground hall completely collapsed.

Countless people were buried here, never to see the sky again.

…

At this time, the meteors falling on the Raifurut residence had stopped.

However, the Raifurut residence had been completely razed to the ground, reduced to rubble.

And the members of the Raifurut family had all been annihilated.

Such a terrifying event, such a shocking commotion, naturally attracted the attention of many, and numerous figures began to gather here.

Some were private troops from various noble families, sent to investigate the situation, and some were knights of the Empire, rushing over after discovering the commotion. They all saw the Raifurut residence, razed to the ground and completely destroyed.

This shocked and terrified them.

Tilly was among them, her face still pale with lingering fear as she looked at the ruins of the Raifurut residence.

After all, unlike the others, she had witnessed the entire process of the Raifurut family’s destruction and even knew who the culprit was.

However, including Tilly, no one present had the energy to think about anything else.

Because the anomaly that occurred here wasn’t over yet.

“Swoosh!”

In full view of everyone, a cloaked figure suddenly appeared in mid-air, standing against the wind.

“Bang!”

Before those who saw this scene could react, the ground of the ruined Raifurut residence suddenly exploded, and a giant figure emerged from within.

“Gaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!”

The monster’s roar finally echoed throughout the Imperial Capital, resounding in everyone’s ears.

“What… what is that…!?”

Everyone who saw this scene was terrified.

Under such circumstances, a fierce battle that would shock everyone present suddenly unfolded.

“Boom!”

Scorching dragon breath, like erupting magma, swept towards the mysterious figure floating in mid-air.

Facing the scorching dragon breath that instantly raised the temperature of the entire area, the cloaked mysterious expert didn’t dodge or evade, simply drawing an ordinary-looking sword.

“Buzz!”

Amidst the trembling air, a dazzling light shone from the sword.

That light made everyone who saw it lose their composure.

The mysterious expert, wielding this gleaming sword, suddenly slashed at the approaching dragon breath.

“Slash!”

As if cutting through a torrent and splitting a sea of fire, the mysterious expert’s strike cleaved the dragon breath in two, turning it into two scorching streams that flowed past his body.

The cloak fluttered in the scorching streams.

The atmosphere was distorted by the high temperature.

The cloaked mysterious expert cleaved the dragon breath with a single sword strike, then suddenly swooped down like a stream of light, charging towards the half-human, half-centipede monster.

“Gaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!”

The monster roared madly, continuously spewing dragon breath at the mysterious expert.

The dragon breath, capable of penetrating all defenses and seemingly unstoppable, was continuously cut down by the diving mysterious expert, exploding into dazzling fireworks.

The monster seemed to sense the danger and realize that its dragon breath was ineffective against the mysterious expert. It swung its head, and its centipede-like lower body transformed into a giant black tail whip, slamming towards the mysterious expert in mid-air.

That strike shook the atmosphere, creating a gale, its power terrifying.

Unfortunately…

“Clang—!”

A dazzling sword light, like a cold moonlight, appeared in mid-air, meeting the incoming tail whip.

“Slash!”

With a sound like tearing cloth, the giant centipede tail was cut in two by the dazzling sword light, splattering blood as it fell to the ground.

“Gaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!”

The half-human, half-centipede monster let out a pained wail.

But its vitality was incredibly tenacious. Not only did it not fall, but its entire body swayed like a mirage, becoming illusory.

In the next second, the giant centipede tail reattached itself to the monster, making it whole again.

The monster seemed to be immortal, instantly recovering from such a serious injury, nullifying all unfavorable conditions.

If such a monster were to rampage through the Imperial Capital, even the Imperial Knight Order might not be able to defeat it, right?

It was undoubtedly Legendary-level, at least level ninety-five, and with its dragon breath that could penetrate all defenses and its immortality that allowed it to shift between reality and illusion, as long as there was no way to counter these two abilities, it could eventually annihilate any opponent.

Back then, near the Royal Capital, two Heroes wielding Holy Swords had also struggled against the same monster.

But today, this monster posed no threat to the mysterious expert.

“Clang—!”

An incredibly dazzling and brilliant light once again bloomed from the seemingly ordinary sword.

That light was undoubtedly much brighter than before.

The mysterious expert, like a divine being descending from the heavens, wielding a divine sword, dashed towards the half-human, half-centipede monster.

“Clang—!”

Sword light, like a crescent moon, appeared on the earth.

“Slash!”

An ultimate strike landed on the half-human, half-centipede monster, cleaving it in two.

“—“

The ear-piercing roar abruptly stopped.

The half-human, half-centipede monster froze there, motionless.

Everyone present held their breath, their expressions changing constantly.

After a while, a white line appeared on the monster’s body.

That white line divided it perfectly into two halves, starting from the top of its head and extending to the tip of its tail.

Then, along this white line, the monster split in two, collapsing to the left and right.

“Thud…”

A heavy thud echoed through the night sky and into the hearts of everyone present.

Dust and smoke rose from around the fallen monster.

The mysterious expert soared back into the sky, and the gleaming sword in his hand began to dim until the light completely disappeared.

“Swoosh!”

In the next moment, the cloaked mysterious expert vanished without a trace.

Leaving behind a group of people from the Empire, staring at the fallen monster’s corpse, recalling the stunning battle, lost in thought.
