Shien was now surrounded, both front and back.
“See how you’ll escape this time!”
The werewolf, Oz, clenched his fists, his face fierce.
“Why did you do this?”
The cat-girl, Maeve, looked at Shien calmly, seeming to give him a chance to explain.
Shien glanced at the werewolf behind him, who could lash out at any moment, then at the cat-girl blocking his way. He smiled calmly.
“What do you think my reason is?”
Shien threw out a provocative question.
His words successfully enraged Oz, but Maeve remained unfazed.
“You’re human, not a demon, so you shouldn’t be one of those crazies from the Old Demon Faction. In that case, why did you intrude into our temple and break the seal here?”
Maeve questioned Shien.
Unfortunately for her, this was exactly what Shien wanted.
“I’d also like to know why the beastmen priest group is guarding such an obviously abnormal temple and sealing a seriously injured girl inside.” Shien looked at Maeve, a faint smile playing on his lips. “Don’t tell me this is a temple of the Goddess of Life, and you’re just worshipping her here?”
Shien’s meaning was clear: they were also doing something shady and had no right to judge him.
“We…” Maeve seemed to want to say something, but she held back. She just stared at Shien and said, “We’re just doing what we have to do.”
“What a coincidence.” Shien said calmly, “I’m also just doing what I want to do.”
“You…!” Maeve finally showed some anger.
Oz couldn’t hold back any longer.
“Don’t waste your breath on him, Maeve!” Oz shouted roughly. “This guy did something absolutely unforgivable. I think even if he’s not with the Old Demon Faction, he’s a malicious heretic, or even the mastermind behind all this himself. Let’s just take him down!”
“…You’re right.” Maeve was silent for a moment, then said coldly, “Let him repent. Get ready, Oz.”
“Alright!”
Oz responded without hesitation.
In the next instant, the two beastmen, a wolf and a cat, suddenly disappeared from their spots, transforming into blurs as they dashed towards Shien.
At the same time, Shien also vanished, turning into a blur.
The three blurs streaked through the air of the temple, then collided fiercely.
“Boom—!”
A thunderous crash echoed through the temple, shaking the air violently.
“Roarrr!”
Oz, the werewolf, was the first to reach Shien. His thick fists were like two giant meteorites, transforming into a continuous barrage of punches aimed at Shien.
“Swish, swish, swish…!”
Maeve, the cat-girl, approached from behind Shien. Her slender hands sprouted sharp claws, transforming into two deadly weapons. With astonishing speed, she unleashed countless claw strikes, enveloping Shien in a storm of attacks.
At this moment, even Shien had to get serious.
In front of him was a torrential downpour of punches capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks.
Behind him was a hurricane of claws, comparable to a flurry of blades.
And his opponents were extremely high-level, considered among the strongest in this world, no less powerful than those legendary figures.
Therefore, Shien decisively used [Limit Evolution] to face these two formidable enemies.
Instantly, three streams of light crisscrossed and flickered throughout the temple, like meteors chasing each other. Every intersection signified a collision, every flicker symbolized a clash, resulting in continuous booming sounds.
Accompanying the booming sounds, the temple trembled repeatedly.
In addition, various phenomena appeared within the temple.
Dazzling sword light.
Whistling fist shadows.
Cold claw marks.
Chaotic air currents.
Sword against fist, claw against sword, human and beastmen constantly clashed, clashed, and clashed again. For a time, neither side could gain an advantage.
The beastmen priests surrounding Beatrice watched this scene, all stunned.
“He’s actually holding his own against Oz and Maeve?”
“Impossible!”
“When did such a young powerhouse appear among humans?”
“Could it be the Kingdom’s treasure and the Empire’s Valkyrie?”
“But he’s a man!”
