But seeing the expressions and gestures of Sophie and the others, they understood that it was a blessing, a prayer.
The Light Trees swayed, emitting rainbow-colored light.
The fairies also danced around, reluctant to part, yet bidding them farewell obediently.
Shien suddenly smiled.
“Until we meet again, everyone.”
Shien said loudly.
“Roar—!”
Yulin immediately roared, offering a magnificent farewell.
In the next second, Yulin flapped her dragon wings, creating a gust of wind as she soared into the sky.
She circled in mid-air, then turned her head and flew towards the outside of the Elven Homeland.
The elves, led by Sophie, watched this scene.
They didn’t disperse until a long time later.
…
Tegor Forest.
Perhaps because of the recent commotion, this ancient forest seemed much quieter than when Shien and the others first arrived.
Many monsters no longer wandered around casually. Even those that did were extremely cautious, seemingly frightened by the recent evil aura incident, less ferocious and more timid.
Thanks to this, this time, no monster dared to block their path, allowing Yulin to fly unimpeded through the Tegor Forest. Even when passing through the territories of some Legendary-level monsters, there was no movement at all.
Shien watched this scene, then turned to the three Demon Lords.
“What are your plans?”
Shien asked.
Lid didn’t answer, glancing at Airi.
Airi also didn’t respond, seemingly still sulking with Shien, pretending to be indifferent.
Lid gave her an exasperated look.
“Let’s part ways here.” Lid said straightforwardly, “The entrance to the Demon Realm isn’t far from the Tegor Forest. The three of us will fly there ourselves.”
“Alright.” Shien didn’t dawdle, thinking for a moment before asking, “Speaking of which, how does one usually go to the Demon Realm?”
The Divine Realm was connected to temples in various locations in the human world. Through rituals performed in these temples, one could open a gate connecting the two realms.
So, what about the Demon Realm?
Lid answered this question readily.
“The Demon Realm is different from the Divine Realm. The entrance isn’t opened through facilities like temples, but exists at the bottom of large magic power sources that are over a thousand years old.” Lid explained, “Usually, the entrance is closed. Only by holding a special token and approaching the bottom of the magic power source, entering the detection range of the entrance, will it open automatically.”
“Token?” Shien asked almost subconsciously, “What kind of token?”
“It’s a crest.” Lid replied truthfully, “Just like your human nobles have their own family crests, some high-ranking members of our Demon Race also have their own crests, such as the six of us sisters and the officers under our command.”
These crests were the tokens of the Demon Race, used to open the entrance to the Demon Realm, but they could only be used in specific locations.
Besides this, there were also places in the Demon Realm that specifically issued temporary tokens for passage, allowing some demons to come to the human world when necessary.
“Of course, some factions also possess the means to open the entrance, such as the Old Demon Factions.” Lid looked at Shien and asked, “What? Do you want to go to the Demon Realm?”
“Well,” Shien shrugged, “If I have the chance.”
Upon hearing this, Airi finally spoke.
“If you want to go to the Demon Realm, use this.”
Airi tossed a pendant to Shien.
It was a black pendant.
On the pendant was a crest, depicting a terrifying dragon breathing dragon breath, much fiercer and more ferocious than the dragon on Shien’s Buztout family crest.
This was undoubtedly Airi’s token.
“Hey, Airi.”
Seeing this, Lid called out to Airi in astonishment.
“This is…!?”
Lucy, who had been quietly observing, changed her expression slightly.
Airi ignored them.
“Once you’re in the Demon Realm, use this token, and most things can be resolved. Do as you see fit.”
Airi said this casually.
Everyone was stunned.
Including Shien, who held the pendant in his hand, feeling that it was somewhat troublesome.
Had he received something incredible?
