The silence continued.
After a long while, Shien coughed and said, trying to act calm,
“Slip of the tongue. Why don’t you go back first? We’ll try again later?”
He sounded like a protagonist who had read the wrong script.
Just as silence descended again, a furious voice echoed,
“You filthy, disrespectful scoundrel! Die!”
With this enraged shout, a terrifying magic power enveloped the area.
A figure, carrying an unparalleled momentum, charged towards Shien from Succubus City with astonishing speed.
“…!” Shien’s eyes narrowed, and without hesitation, his magic power surged.
In the next instant, the figure arrived before Shien, unleashing a world-shaking attack at his head.
“Bang—!”
A thunderous roar echoed.
A violent shockwave erupted, spreading like an avalanche.
The ground cracked.
The atmosphere wailed.
The surrounding demons were swept away by the sudden shockwave before they could even react.
Screams, cries, wails, and panic filled the area before the Succubus City’s gate.
This commotion even alerted the various tribes within the city, who rushed out towards the scene.
One could imagine how terrifying this was.
Such an aftershock was beyond even a clash between Legendary-level experts. If the opponent was an ordinary Legendary-level expert, they might even be defeated by this single blow.
Unfortunately…
“This welcoming ceremony is a bit too much. As expected of the Succubus, one of the Six Demon Lords,” a voice said.
Shien’s figure gradually emerged from the shockwave, completely unharmed.
“You…!” The attacking demon girl’s eyes narrowed in shock and anger.
She held a massive spear, its tip pointed straight at Shien, flowing with brilliant magic power. This spear was clearly no ordinary weapon. And the demon girl wielding it was a top-tier Legendary-level expert, only one step away from Limit Level.
But even her attack was blocked.
Blocked by Shien with a single hand.
“[Bestowal: Explosion],” Shien chanted softly.
“Bang—!” Another explosion echoed, a violent blast erupting, creating a second shockwave.
However, this time, it wasn’t just a shockwave, but a fierce explosion of flames.
Intense flames ravaged the earth, burning everything.
The already battered demons screamed and wailed again.
The ground shattered, even melting into magma.
Liel, wielding a spear larger than herself, was sent flying from the explosion, covered in smoke and sparks, landing on the ground in a disheveled state.
Shien, however, emerged from the flames unscathed, as if bathed in them.
“Tsk…” Liel clicked her tongue.
“Even the most despicable and shameless Hero cannot be underestimated, huh?”
Shien heard her.
“So you know me?” He raised an eyebrow and smirked, “However, I’ll have to decline that ‘despicable and shameless’ evaluation. Usually, it’s those who launch sneak attacks who are despicable and shameless.”
“What did you say?” Liel, clearly short-tempered, was instantly provoked.
Shien wasn’t one to back down.
“I said, you’re a despicable and shameless sneak attacker, a waste of your good looks.”
