The New Intruder

As the demon let out a loud cry, faint tremors came from every direction of the castle!

The sound of falling rubble rang out without end. Xuan Sheng knew he could not drag this out. In the blink of an eye, Ten Thousand Forges had already hacked toward the demon's face!

The terrifying speed left the steward who ruled this castle no time to react. He was forced to take the blow head-on with his frail face!

[Petrification]

[Physical damage reduced by 50%]

At the final moment before the long blade came down, the demon steward's face was already completely covered by a hard, stone-like hide.

The obstruction coming from that final line of defense irritated Xuan Sheng, who had originally expected to land a decisive blow.

"Raaagh!!!"

The demon who controlled his own life was now in dire straits. Gargoyles rushing over from all directions brandished their weapons and charged straight at the gritting God of Demons!

No matter who the intruder was!

He could not defy Lord Mammon's orders!

"Get lost!"

With a furious roar, the pouncing gargoyles became dizzy and disoriented. Like birds knocked from the sky by stones, they plummeted from above...

"Wait!"

Facing Xuan Sheng, whose eyes blazed with golden light, the demon steward had already sensed something unusual about him. His soul nearly left his body!

This intruder was no nameless nobody who could be silenced at will!

He was someone who possessed...

As Ten Thousand Forges swung through the air, it was covered by blazing, explosive fury. The searing heat distorted even the air around it!

Like a red-hot blade slicing through a slab of smooth butter...

The demon steward desperately dodged and avoided his vital points—but even so! Half of his shoulder was completely cleaved away!

"Wait! I said wait!"
