“Is being a Hero so great!?” Ireza glared at Shien, his eyes filled with hatred.
“A thousand years ago, even my brother and I together couldn’t defeat Hero Mitra. A thousand years later, I don’t believe a greenhorn Hero like you can do anything to me…!”
As he spoke, Ireza roared, his body swelling several times its size. At the same time, his aura also intensified severalfold. This demon executive, whose level was the same as Shien’s, ninety-five, now exuded an aura even stronger than Aldia’s.
Even Aldia, at level ninety-eight, wouldn’t be a match for this beast demon without using his Unique Skill.
“Roar!”
Ireza lunged towards Shien.
Despite his large size, Ireza’s speed was like lightning, his massive figure flashing through the air silently.
However…
“Bang—!”
With a loud crash, Ireza, charging towards Shien, was met with a foot slamming into his face.
Shien kicked Ireza hard, creating a terrifying shockwave.
Ireza was sent flying back at an even faster speed than he came, like a cannonball, crashing into a distant mountain with a whooshing sound.
“Rumble…!”
The mountain trembled as if struck by lightning, then began to collapse.
And Shien teleported, disappearing and reappearing before everyone’s eyes.
The anger that had just risen in the hearts of those present instantly vanished.
Because Shien was now holding a massive creature in his hand.
Who else could it be but Ireza?
“Pfft!”
Ireza coughed up blood, his face and body covered in it.
“Come on, tell me,” Shien said with a smile, looking at Ireza, “What can you do to me?”
Ireza couldn’t answer, his face filled with terror.
In just one exchange, one of the six executives under Liddomar, the Beast Demon, a Legendary-level demon expert at level ninety-five—defeated!
Were demons supposed to be stronger than gods and humans at the same level?
Then, as someone who received the highest growth upon leveling up, how could Shien, now at level ninety-five, not easily defeat a demon of the same level?
“Bang!”
Shien threw Ireza to the ground, leaving him barely alive.
“…This…”
Seeing Ireza thrown to the ground like trash, barely alive, the demon executives felt a chill run down their spines.
Among the demons present, besides Hertleyd and Giacinta, Ireza had the highest level and the greatest strength.
And yet, he couldn’t even last one round against Shien?
“H-How could he be so strong?” Guran couldn’t help but take a step back.
“Didn’t they say this Hero only appeared in the Human Realm less than half a year ago?” Alid couldn’t believe his eyes.
“…It seems we acted too hastily, without properly investigating,” Chibul said, his face grim.
The events in the Imperial Capital happened only a few days ago, and the specific details hadn’t spread widely yet. These demon executives naturally couldn’t obtain much concrete information.
The fact that Shien defeated Aldia was deliberately concealed by the Kingdom. Except for the Dragon Demon’s faction, which Giacinta belonged to, the other Demon Lord factions were mostly unaware of this.
But the fact that Shien had only debuted for less than half a year was still easy to investigate.
In just half a year, even a Hero with unlimited potential, how strong could they become?
The demons who dared to come here either acted impulsively or, after a brief investigation, believed that Shien hadn’t grown strong enough to threaten them. That’s why they came one after another.
But it turned out that a Hero was still a Hero.
He was still the nemesis of the Demon Race.
“Who’s next?”
Shien ignored Ireza, his gaze fixed on Guran and the others.
Guran, Alid, and Chibul instinctively avoided his gaze.
Guran even forced a smile, seemingly trying to charm her way out of this.
Unfortunately, Shien didn’t even look at her, making her smile disappear.
After all, this executive under the Succubus came here to regain her face after failing to seduce the Hero a thousand years ago.
Now, Shien’s indifference was even more hurtful than the Hero’s back then, dealing a blow to Guran’s pride.
This seductive demon didn’t know that the current Shien had not only taken the most beautiful woman in the Human Realm to bed, but also deflowered a beautiful girl from the Elven Race.
Having seen Lucy’s world-shaking beauty and Melika’s pure and innocent charm, Shien wasn’t interested in a woman like Guran, who reeked of a brothel.
