The first wave was a physical attack, and the second was a soul attack.

Robson and the other two Highgod bandits observed the casualties of the Kenchi caravan after launching their long-range attacks.

Seeing that the two waves of attacks had only killed a small number of Midgod Fiends, Robson was dissatisfied and immediately lunged toward Tara, while the other two Highgod bandits surrounded Fanny.

In Robson's view, Tara was the greatest threat to the caravan, followed by Fanny, so he unleashed all his means to attack Tara first.

Having been prepared, Simon and the others had distanced themselves the moment the bandits moved, and since they were only grazed by sporadic attacks, no one was seriously harmed.

Elno and the others then launched their assault on the bandits according to the tactics they had previously formulated.

Simon and Fanny also joined the melee.

Although Tara was only a three-star Fiend, he was a Highgod who had cultivated independently, so his strength was not poor, and his combat experience was incredibly rich; he met Robson's charge without a hint of fear.

Both Tara and Robson were Highgods who had cultivated independently, but neither had fused any Profound Mysteries, meaning neither their physical nor soul attacks were particularly strong.

Furthermore, Tara cultivated the Laws of Water and excelled in defense, while Robson cultivated the Law of Light and excelled in speed and soul attacks; the two clashed instantly.

However, Robson's soul and physical attacks could not break through Tara's defense, forcing him to rely on his speed advantage to kite Tara.

Tara received every one of the opponent's attacks without fear; these attacks were well within his tolerance, and he didn't care how long he had to hold out.

During this time, he also attacked Robson, but his offensive power was like a tickle to the other man.

Likewise, Robson could do nothing to him, and the two fell into a stalemate.

On Fanny's side, she was met by the two Highgod bandits.

However, these two Highgods had both refined Godheads, and their strength was very mediocre; they had only used their Godhead Domain to assist their subordinates in attacking the caravan when they first charged over.

But the group, having passed the Fiend assessment, were no pushovers; they each manifested their own God Domain, reducing the influence of the two men's Godhead Domains to a minimum.

Seeing that their methods were useless, the two Highgod bandits had no choice but to grit their teeth and engage Fanny.

At this moment, Fanny was in the middle of a killing spree against the Midgod bandits, not forgetting to boast about her achievements to Simon via soul transmission.

Simon, meanwhile, was reaping the lives of the bandits while utilizing his speed advantage, all the while keeping his full attention on Fanny.

He did not want to use the Ice Wind Space to end the battle yet; he needed more practical combat experience to trigger a deeper realization of the laws.

Thus, he wielded the Wind-Annihilation Longsword, utilizing the Speed Profound Truth and the Sigh of the Wind to fight, while keeping his body and mind prepared for defense.

While reaping the bandits, Simon noticed two sneaky figures approaching Fanny.

He instantly sent a soul transmission to warn Fanny to be careful, then flickered his figure to arrive at her side and join forces with her.

"Let's each take one of these two sneaky guys; leave the yellow-haired one to me, and you handle the other."

After speaking, Simon exerted his movement technique to the limit and lunged toward the yellow-haired bandit.

This yellow-haired man had initially feared Fanny, a Highgod Fiend, but upon seeing a Midgod charging at him, he felt the other party had lost his mind.

He swung his longsword dismissively while channeling the Profound Mystery of Dimension from the Law of Wind to slash at Simon.

Seeing that the opponent also cultivated the Law of Wind and was currently using the Profound Mystery of Dimension—which he had not yet mastered—Simon felt the urge to trade a few more blows with him.

Because the yellow-haired man's longsword only contained the Profound Mystery of Dimension, his sword speed was not very fast; Simon easily dodged it by activating his movement technique, which fused three Profound Mysteries, and simultaneously thrust the Sigh of the Wind toward him.

The yellow-haired man had not expected the Midgod before him to dodge his full-force sword strike so effortlessly.

At this moment, he no longer held any contempt, feeling only that he had encountered someone he could not afford to provoke.

As if to confirm his suspicion, Simon's ghostly sword thrust toward his head; the Sigh of the Wind, fused with three Profound Mysteries, possessed immense destructive power, causing the very space of Hell to ripple violently even when using only Wind Divine Power.

Feeling the terrifying destructive power contained in this strike, the yellow-haired man felt bitter.

What kind of monster is this? A Midgod's attack is this strong?

Helpless, he could only exert the Profundity of Speed to the limit, holding his sword in an attempt to block Simon.

But the yellow-haired man only barely blocked the first strike by relying on the advantage of his divine power; Simon's second strike bypassed his longsword and pierced directly into his brow.

The Highgod Artifact armor on the yellow-haired man seemed like a mere decoration; Simon's Wind-Annihilation Longsword felt only a hint of resistance before breaking through his divine armor and piercing his Godhead, simultaneously shattering the yellow-haired man's soul.

Just like that, a Highgod bandit was killed by Simon in two moves.

At this time, Fanny had also finished off the other Highgod bandit; her kill was even simpler. Although the opponent had refined a Highgodhead of Water, he hadn't fused a single Profound Mystery and couldn't even block a casual strike from Fanny; she smashed his head directly, ending his sinful life.

Seeing Simon and Fanny's prowess, Napote and the others, who were huddled together defending themselves, felt greatly relieved.

"Well done, Simon! You killed that Highgod in just two strikes; you're truly strong."

Hamut shouted excitedly.

Robson, who was still fighting Tara, heard this and looked over, his soul trembling with fear. He had originally intended for those two to entangle Fanny until he finished off Tara and could join them to deal with her.

But now it seemed that Fanny's side was the true top combat power of this caravan.

Chapter 49: Treatment of the Strong

Robson no longer intended to continue the attack; having lost two Highgod subordinates, he knew the situation was lost and only wanted to slip away immediately.

He instantly blew a whistle that signaled a retreat.

Hearing this sound, the bandits fought and retreated one after another.

Robson also seized the opportunity to sneak away.

But Fanny and Simon had no intention of letting him leave just like that.

The two of them closed in from both sides, and Robson, entangled by Tara, could find no opportunity to escape; left with no choice, he had to fight with his life on the line.

However, he possessed at most the strength of a Four-Star Fiend, so how could he possibly be a match for Fanny?

Simon didn't even need to lift a finger; Fanny found an opening and swung her short sword like a bolt of lightning, killing Robson in an instant.

The bandits watching the battlefield, seeing that all three of their leaders had fallen, lost all desire to fight and erupted with their full strength, desperate to flee.

Seeing the bandits scattering in all directions, Simon had no intention of using his domain to hunt them down.

Having experienced much, he could see that many of the Midgod bandits were actually forced into this life against their will; if they could escape, he would let them go.

As for Napote, Elno, and the others, they showed no mercy to these bandits, each unleashing their full power to strike down the fleeing men.

Elno was truly a powerhouse who cultivated the Law of Death; gray-white light shot from his eyes from time to time, and nine out of ten bandits struck by it were killed instantly. The remaining one, possessing a strong soul defense, was finished off by Lona with a physical attack from her blade.

Napote also stayed by Lona's side, pursuing the bandits with all his might, while Hamut transformed into lightning, weaving around Elno to protect him while occasionally delivering finishing blows.

Soon, the leaderless bandits were slaughtered by the elite Fiends of the caravan, with only a few who were fast enough managing to escape—this was simply because there were too many of them, and Tara and the other Fiends couldn't kill them all.

Fanny, like Simon, had little interest in hunting down those Midgod bandits.

"To think the Green Wolf Bandit Group would dare to go out robbing with such weak strength; they deserved to be wiped out."

Elno gathered the spoils of war and walked over to Simon and Fanny, speaking up.

Simon nodded with a smile. "This bandit group was indeed a bit weak; they didn't even have a single Five-Star Fiend."

"But Simon, for you to be able to kill a Highgod while still a Midgod is truly impressive. I, Elno, have been through several Two-Star missions, but this is the first time I've seen such a monster with my own eyes."

Elno clicked his tongue in wonder. He had only heard of such legends before, and he never expected to see one unfold right before him.

He felt a strong sense of unreality.

Simon had been able to slay a Highgod bandit so casually. Although they had previously speculated that Simon's strength far exceeded that of an ordinary Highgod, speculation was one thing, but the shock of seeing it happen in reality was far beyond his imagination.

"He was just a Highgod who had refined a Godhead. If Napote and Lona had found an opening, they could have killed him too," Simon said modestly.

"Haha, Simon, don't go flattering us. We know exactly what our own strength is."

At this moment, Lona flew over with Napote and said with a smile.

"Hey, Lona, since when did you become so humble? Your physical attacks are indeed quite strong; I feel like they're almost catching up to Lord Tara."

Hamut, having finished clearing the battlefield, chimed in to tease her.

"Tara primarily cultivates the Laws of Water, so it's normal that his physical attacks aren't his strongest," Lona replied.

"Besides, a Highgod who refined a Godhead is still a Highgod. Their divine body, soul, and domain are ten times stronger than ours. At best, my physical attacks can compare to the weakest of Highgods, but I still couldn't withstand their attacks."

"To be able to defy the heavens and kill a Highgod while being a Midgod, one must either be a gifted divine beast or a monstrous Midgod like Simon who has fused at least three profound mysteries."

Lona sighed. In the past, she hadn't thought much of Highgods who refined Godheads, but after experiencing the last Fiend assessment and this battle, she had seen with her own eyes how Midgods she once thought were strong were targeted by such Highgods and killed in a few moves. She had sobered up instantly.

If she or Napote had faced him alone, the Highgod's Godhead Domain alone would have been enough to give them a hard time, let alone killing him.

If the two of them were together, they would likely have been able to run.

Only Simon possessed two Midgod clones, and it was rumored that his achievements in the Laws of Water were no less than those in the Wind Element. With both divine clones working together, he didn't fear a Highgod's domain, and if they attacked together, killing those "watered-down" Highgods was even easier.

Only now did they begin to realize how formidable Simon truly was.

It wasn't just Lona and the others; the entire caravan now realized the strength of Simon and Fanny.

Fanny was one thing; after all, she held the status of a Highgod, so it was normal for her to be strong.

But Simon was clearly still a Midgod, yet he killed Highgods even more easily than Tara.

"I didn't realize Lord Simon had such methods before. Please forgive my ignorance. I entrust the rest of this journey to the three of you and the many Fiend brothers. Once we reach Lier City, I will certainly present a generous gift to reward everyone."

The merchant Kenchi also walked over and bowed respectfully to Simon.

He hadn't expected to encounter bandits led by a Highgod so soon after starting the journey. He had previously wanted to save some Inkstone by hiring one fewer Highgod Fiend.

But looking at the current situation, if not for the good fortune of meeting Fanny and Simon, his business trip would likely have failed, and if his luck had been even worse, losing his life wouldn't have been impossible.

This was why he respected and valued Fanny and Simon so much; Inkstone could be earned again if lost, but if life was gone, everything was gone.

Moreover, given the strength Simon had displayed, it was perfectly appropriate for him to address him as "Lord." Hell had always been a place where strength was respected, and he admired those with great power.

"It's just part of the job, Kenchi. You don't need to worry about it," Simon said lightly.

This calm and composed demeanor left Fanny, standing to the side, quite infatuated. Hehe, as expected, the man I chose is just different.

Fanny knew that Simon still had a domain trump card he hadn't even used. If he had unleashed it, not a single member of this small Green Wolf Bandit Group would have escaped; he could have wiped them all out by himself.

The other One-Star and Two-Star Fiends now looked at Simon with changed eyes.

They were filled with reverence and awe.

They hadn't expected Simon to be so powerful, but the thought of carrying out a mission with such a strong individual filled them with secret joy—at the very least, their safety was now guaranteed to a much greater degree.
