Four Imperial Knights Wiped Out, Capture Operation Deployed

Bang!

The black Lancer pierced the rain and collided with a thick, black shield that was about half a person's height.

With a "click".

The black curse energy spread across the surface of the shield, rapidly cracking outwards from the spear tip, like shattered glass falling from the shield's surface.

"... kindness?"

Lainas paused, her grip on the Lancer tightening, and a glint flashed in her blue eyes.

"Hahaha!" The Unassailable the shield blocking his way, his thick eyebrows twitched as he burst into laughter:

"To counter your methods of destroying artifacts, I coated the shield with several layers of metal, which increased its weight considerably."

The Unassailable panting heavily, his voice tinged with smugness, but his eyes were filled with seriousness.

I originally thought that with the power of the Corrosive Wolf entering the "Hero Realm," it wouldn't be difficult to deal with Lainas, the traitor to the empire, in a two-on-one situation.

Who would have thought that this woman's strength was completely different from the intelligence they had received!

Click!

Another crisp sound.

This time, it comes from the black Lancer in Lainas's hand. The [Cursed Knight]'s ability can not only destroy the opponent's items, but also affect his own items.

"Now!" The Unassailable's eyes widened, and he roared with his mouth open.

"Ability Boost, Body Boost, shield impact!"

His the Unassailable arms were bulging with veins, his thick neck was taut, and he raised two shields, each half a person's height, to his chest.

Thump!

The ground beneath my feet trembled.

The Unassailable a black bull and charged towards Lainas.

at the same time.

The Corrosive Wolf's agile figure also transformed into a blur in that instant. "Flow Acceleration, Power Strike, Whirlwind Kick!"

A pincer attack!

Two figures appeared before Lainas in the blink of an eye, exuding a chilling killing intent.

"Dark Wave!" Lainas shouted.

Swish!

The black curse energy spread rapidly from its center.

The two attackers, the Unassailable and Corrosive Wolf, immediately sensed the dark energy. Before they could react, their bodies suddenly froze on the spot!

Wow!

Lainas's eyes were icy cold. She gripped the cracked black Lancer in her hand, exerted force, and suddenly hurled it at the Unassailable head.

"Move your body!!!"

His expression the Unassailable, but his body, though seemingly frozen in terror, had lost all control and he was completely unable to move.

Bang!

A black stream of light, infused with the Curse Power, shattered the magic helmet first, followed by the Unassailable head exploding in mid-air like a bursting watermelon.

As he swung his Lancer...

Lainas turned around, looked at the Corrosive Wolf, and activated the magical pendant on her chest. "Flame Beam!"

Swish!

A blazing beam of light was released from the "Mane of Fierce Thorns" pendant, transforming into a straight, laser-like ray.

"Avoid!!" The Corrosive Wolf's eyes were bloodshot, and under the aura of death, its stiff body tilted to the left at that moment.

Blood splattered!

The Corrosive Wolf's right arm flew off and exploded in mid-air, engulfed by flames.

"I want you dead!" The Corrosive Wolf's face twisted, and the instant he realized his senses had returned, he vanished from the spot in a blur.

"... not good."

Lainas's pupils contracted; the Corrosive Wolf had already appeared in front of her.

"Heavy Whirlwind Kick!"

The powerful legs kicked down heavily.

Suddenly, a pale red barrier was released from the "Mane of Fierce Thorns" pendant to form a protective shield, blocking the full-force attack of the Corrosive Wolf.

Whoosh!

"Die!" Lainas took out a foldable black Lancer from her magic belt and pierced the Corrosive Wolf's body.

Thump!

Crimson blood mingled with rainwater, dripping from Lainas's palm as she gripped the gun, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at the Corrosive Wolf.

"I won," Lainas said, panting, her eyes filled with admiration.

This is a powerful figure in the realm of "Hero," whose strength surpasses hers in any aspect, but a win is a win, and there is only one consequence for a loser.

Lainas's tense nerves relaxed, and she suddenly felt a surge of power within her body, breaking through the vague bottleneck at that moment!

On the other side.

"Huff... Huff..." Blood trickled from the corner of Gazef's mouth as he gripped the Razor Edge, his chest heaving.

They were respectively struck by Lightning Bolt and Fierce Gale.

The Four Imperial Knights are all wiped out!

--Mid -Mid-Fire Month.

August 15th, intermission.

Night fell.

The entire Fortress city of "Ye Lantier" was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Over the years.

The Kingdom has consistently been at a disadvantage in its clashes with the empire, and every autumn, the empire's malicious raids have prevented border villages from harvesting their crops properly.

No one expected that such a great victory would be achieved this time.

Even Mayor Panasolei sat in his mayor's mansion for half an hour, stunned, upon receiving the news.

This was an unprecedented event in the entire Kingdom Riyestej in recent decades; the renowned "Four Imperial Knights" of the Baharuth Empire had been completely annihilated.

They even captured thousands of imperial soldiers!

If the "Warrior Captain Corps" and the "Blood Rose Legion" hadn't also suffered heavy losses, the number of captured soldiers would have been even greater.

But these are minor matters!

"We must give His Majesty the King a detailed report on this matter!"

The mayor of Panasolei paced back and forth in the room with delight. "And the captured soldiers... we can claim bail from the Empire."

"Pfft, hahaha!"

Panasole burst into laughter without realizing it. This time, he could make a huge demand and recoup all his losses in one go.

Clang! Clang!

A soft knock sounded on the door.

"Please come in." Panasole composed himself, sat back down in the meeting room, and greeted her with a smile.

He usually doesn't like to be disturbed at this time, but he's happy today so he'll make an exception.

The door was carefully pushed open.

A blond, middle-aged butler, dressed impeccably, walked in from outside the door.

"What's up?"

"My lord, the envoy from the Slane Theocracy has arrived," the steward said respectfully, bowing his head.

Theocracy?

Panasole's fleshy cheeks twitched, and he squinted.

now.

While the entire city was celebrating its great victory, a disheveled group of adventurers quietly entered "Ye Rantil".

This group of adventurers is the expeditionary force!

The reason for sneaking into the city under the cover of night was that I had no choice but to do so.

When they were fighting the "Unknown Plant-Type Monster," many people knew that if news of their failure spread, it would inevitably cause great chaos.

so.

To avoid attracting attention, the [Blue Roses] group returned to the city under the cover of night.

Golden Shining Pavilion.

This historic and Advanced Tier inn usually caters mainly to nobles and wealthy merchants, but currently, adventurer expeditions are staying here.

Inside a clean and spacious room.

"Everlasting Light" illuminates the entire room from the ceiling lights.

Evileye sat on the sofa, silent.

With bandages wrapped around his chest and left arm, Gagaran sat casually on the red sofa on the other side, though he didn't look well.

Tina and Tia were unharmed and leaned against the walls on either side.

"Is she alright?" Tia glanced at Enri, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa, her voice tinged with worry.

"Oh, I didn't know you could be so caring."

Gagaran chuckled jokingly, "Don't worry, it's just exhaustion and unconsciousness. That explosive intensity... ugh, it was terrifying."

"This kind of fatigue is normal."

Even so.

The thought of the terrifying power that Enri unleashed sent shivers down Gagaran's spine, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily.

If it weren't for Enri, the number of survivors in the entire expedition team would probably be less than the size of a hand.

"Shorty, can you deduce the level of that monster?"

Gagaran turned his head and asked seriously.

"At least around 200..." Evileye paused, then spoke slowly in an unusually solemn tone, "Probably only a powerful race like the Dragon Lords could contend with it."

That brings us to this.

Evileye but turn his gaze to the unconscious Enri; that "outburst" was definitely not normal.

This power is simply not something a human could wield!

The others instinctively looked at Enri again.

The air returned to quiet.

Tia and the others wanted to say "impossible," but after actually seeing that incomprehensible being, they realized that Evileye said was true.

"That's terrifying!" Gagaran grinned, and after a long pause, uttered a few words.

"Asshole!"

Tia crossed her arms, her fingers clenching her forearms tightly. "Why would such a monster exist in the Great Forest of Tob? I've never heard of it before!"

"Once that monster leaves the Great Forest of Tob, the entire Kingdom may face annihilation!"

Suppressed, fearful sounds echoed slowly in the room.

That is an existence that humans simply cannot contend with!

It's not just Kingdom; other countries may also face the risk of Evileye.

"Even if we gather all the Adamantite Rank adventurers from every country, we still wouldn't be able to fight them," Tina said in a low voice.

"No... we can fight back!"

Evileye's crimson pupils behind the mask flickered, and she silently thought, "We can fight back with the Dragon Lords King's power."

"That monster was indeed powerful, but it was far inferior to the Black True Dragon Lord, whom I had once glimpsed."

pity.

She had been activating the Magic Mark on her body for some time, but had not received a response from the Dragon Lords King. She wondered what the Dragon Lords King was busy with.

"Hopefully, the Demon Leader has made some progress."

Gagaran sighed softly.

Upon their return, Lakyus went to report the intelligence to the city mayor and the Adventurer's Guild master.

It's 10:21 PM.

Footsteps sounded from outside the corridor.

Completely wide awake Gagaran and the others immediately looked towards the door. As the door opened,

Lakyus walked in from outside the door, his face showing exhaustion and confusion.

"How about it, Demon Leader!"

Gagaran straightened his back and looked at Lakyus expectantly. "What measures has the Adventurer's Guild taken?"

"Do nothing." -Lakyus

"Kindness?"

Everyone was puzzled.

"Tomorrow, the Adventurer's Guild will announce to the outside world that we have defeated the monsters in the Great Forest of Tob."

A Taunt smile flashed in Lakyus's emerald green eyes as he shrugged.

"In short, it means the problem has been resolved and will be publicized along with the good news of victory in this Kingdom -empire war."

"They're insane!" Gagaran jumped up from the sofa, his eyes wide.

"Ha?"

Tina's face was also filled with disbelief. "That's a monster that can Evileye! Even the most foolish person wouldn't make such a decision!"

Upon hearing the words "Evileye," Evileye raised his head slightly, and spoke in a neutral voice:

"Have you found a solution?"

The key point is revealed in the words!

Panasole and Ainzach were neither fools nor the kind of people who would pretend not to see danger.

"Kindness."

Lakyus nodded. "The Slane Theocracy has already intervened. To prevent unnecessary chaos and trouble, they are publicizing the victory as a result of the campaign."

"The Adventurer's Guild and the Mayor have also agreed to the Theocracy's plan. The only thing I know is that the Theocracy should have information about that monster and a way to deal with it."

Lakyus's slender arms hung limply at his sides, looking both dejected and unwilling to give up.

"The Legacy of the Six Great Gods?" Evileye pondered.

"Hateful!"

Tina pouted unhappily. "I feel like we're being looked down upon by the people of the Theocracy."

"That's right, that's right!"

Tia nodded vigorously in agreement. "It sounds like you're helping, but it's more like looking down from a higher position."

"Demon Leader, pull yourself together!"

"Gagaran comforted me," he said.

"I still feel a little unwilling," Lakyus, raising his head again and clenching his fists to encourage himself.

August 16th.

It was 4:11 AM.

The night was as dark as ink, Golden Shining Pavilion Hotel. A group of thirteen people, all wrapped in black robes Silent Shot left the hotel.

Clementine was walking at the very back when she suddenly paused, turned her head, and looked towards the location of a hotel room behind her.

"Whee."

Clementine licked her lips and grinned.

Are they a group of adventurers?

The gaze was so intense that anyone with a keen sense of perception could easily detect it; she simply turned her head slightly to look at it.

The rest of the [Black Scripture] group didn't care at all.

Clementine turned his head again and met the gazes of the "Four Elements" who were also walking behind him, before they looked away.

"This is getting more and more interesting." Clementine's eyes curved like crescent moons, and the corners of her mouth turned up.

Behind the glass window of a hotel room.

Lakyus and Evileye stood together in the dark room, silently watching the team disappear into the darkness through the window.

"That's terrifying..."

Lakyus's clear, emerald-green eyes narrowed slightly, and he parted his pink lips to offer a surprised assessment.

It was clearly through the darkness of night.

Lakyus could still sense that as this mysterious group moved, the surrounding air seemed to be distorted by an invisible force.

As Adamantite Rank adventurer, she has defeated many powerful monsters and Demi-Human warriors over the years, but her excellent intuition makes her realize the true nature of all the opponents she has encountered before.

They're no match for that group!

A group of powerful individuals of this caliber could never belong to a weak organization.

"... The Theocracy," Lakyus murmured to himself.

"Oh?"

"Hmph."

What are you two looking at?

The voices of Gagaran, Tia, and Tia rang out respectively.
