Explosions in quick succession engulfed the surrounding poisonous mist and the demons hidden within, swallowing them in flames.
Ryukawa Soko and the Colonel raised their hands to block the blinding light, the shockwaves causing their figures to sway.
*Bang!*
A thick, monstrous remnant was blasted in front of them, blue blood splattering the ground, a shocking sight.
"Is that it? Dead?" The Colonel collapsed onto the ground, all his convictions shattered, his eyes vacant and hollow.
The
With one round of bombardment, the poisonous mist within a radius of several hundred meters vanished completely. The ground was covered in piles of flames, and scattered amidst them were pools of blue blood and fragmented limbs…
All the demons, except the one bound by the lightning net on the ground, had been sent to reincarnation.
Bai Ye slowly descended to the ground and walked towards the bound demon.
"Roar, roar!!"
The spider-like demon, enduring the pain of the lightning strikes, stared at Bai Ye with terror. It felt the presence of death, struggling even more violently.
Suddenly, its body loosened, the lightning disappeared, and it sprang up instantly, attempting to escape with its last ounce of strength.
However, Bai Ye stepped on its massive head, and no matter how it struggled, it couldn't pull free, as if pinned down by a great mountain!
"Stay put."
Bai Ye's sudden words stunned Ryukawa Soko, but what astonished her even more was that the monster, upon hearing Bai Ye's words, actually stopped struggling.
It quietly lay down at Bai Ye's feet, though its body trembled with fear!
"Why didn't you attack those soldiers?" Bai Ye asked, looking down at the demon.
"???"
Ryukawa Soko's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. He was talking to a monster? He could actually communicate with monsters? Could it be… he wasn't a mage, but a humanoid monster??
For a moment, all sorts of bizarre thoughts flashed through Ryukawa Soko's mind.
The bewildered Colonel of the R-country nation turned his head. This young man was approaching a great secret of the R-country, but he was powerless to stop him…
Bai Ye was indeed communicating with the demon. Under the pressure of his terrifying demonic energy, the centipede-like demon dared not resist further.
However, to Bai Ye's disappointment, this demon had low intelligence, its expressions driven more by beastly instincts, such as killing for sustenance.
The only useful piece of information: A powerful high-level demon had also come here and forbade them from leaving the Misty Valley, threatening to kill them all otherwise.
The demon under his feet was barely a C-class in strength. For such a command to be remembered by this instinct-driven creature, the one who came must have been terrifyingly strong, leaving such a profound, almost soul-deep impression.
At the very least, they must be on Lydia's level to possess such strength and intelligence!
Bai Ye guessed, a smile slowly curving his lips.
That person wouldn't be here to deter these demons without reason! The most likely scenario was that the R-country's higher-ups had reached some kind of agreement with it.
Therefore, the high-level demon that arrived was likely the R-country's trump card! Was this also the reason for the near absence of demon unrest within the R-country?
But, from the higher-ups of the Great Xia Kingdom, he had received no information about this. Logically, for a demon of Lydia's caliber, even operating so extensively in the R-country, some information should have been intercepted by the Great Xia Kingdom's intelligence network.
Unless…
Bai Ye suddenly recalled Lydia's words.
"Master~ Once I reach the Calamity class, I can transform into human form…"
