“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. ȑÄΝoᛒĚṣ
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.
