Why must the devil be Defeated? Chapter 256

Chapter 256: 255 “Paji… Chapter 256: 255 “Paji… “Boom…” The atmosphere was trembling. It was because multiple streams of Magic Power were chaotically flowing, creating waves of force. Countless spells, as if descending from the sky, suddenly struck from afar, enveloping the direction of Shane and Ai Yi. The scene looked as though a banquet of magic had unfolded in this part of the world, spectacular to witness. However, this spectacular magical feast was unquestionably aimed at Shane’s life. Shane gazed at the myriad of spells falling from the sky and raised his Magic Wand. Shane uttered the Spell to activate the wand. Instantly, the gem at the tip of the wand radiated a dazzling light. A ring of Magic Power ripples spread out like waves, enveloping Shane and Ai Yi, forming a protective barrier around them, shielding the two. Any magic entering this rippling barrier evaporated, disappearing without a trace amidst a sound of vaporization. Countless spells kept breaching the rippling Barrier, being eradicated at great speed. This was one of the Magic Wand’s effects, the power to disperse magic. The attackers seemed taken aback that their concerted magical onslaught had been so quickly neutralized. Yet, it seemed they were not without mental preparation for this situation, and they immediately readied their next attack. The next moment, another magical feast burst forth. Countless spells came again, shaking the atmosphere and disturbing Magic Power, like a volley of arrows splitting the sky and pouring down. But this time, their target was no longer Shane, but the cliff walls of the Canyon and the ground around Shane. With the bombardment of numerous spells, the Canyon walls exploded, and the ground shattered, sending countless rocks and rubble tumbling down as the earth sank. Shane and Ai Yi both furrowed their brows, Shane swiftly teleporting back, while Ai Yi stood still on the spot, indifferently watching everything, unconcerned by it all. Thus, like an avalanche of mudslides, the crushing rocks buried the delicate figure, the ground swallowed the opponent, burying them completely under this natural disaster-like spectacle. Having rapidly retreated a great distance to avoid the disaster-like attack, Shane watched as Ai Yi was buried and, far from being worried, was instead helplessly vexed. Following that, Shane lifted his eyes, looking around. Because someone was attacking. “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!”… Amidst a series of faint whooshing sounds, numerous shadows flashed into existence, surrounding Shane. However, these Knights were all clad in pitch-black full-body Armor and steel helms, armed to the teeth. The unexpected sight caused a slight moment of surprise for Shane. In that moment, the opponents seized the opportunity and moved. They charged in unison, raising their weapons without hesitation, launching an assault in Shane’s direction. “Granting Explosion.” Shane instantly released a spell, imbuing the surrounding air with an explosiveness property. This caused the air around Shane to experience a blast phenomenon, ultimately bursting into a shocking shockwave, striking all around. Previously, countless Werewolves had been vanquished by this Skill from Shane. But this time, Shane’s Magic failed to have an effect. One after another, magic barriers suddenly sprang up in front of the black knights, shielding them from the incoming blast and pushing the explosive air currents to both sides. Clearly, the mages who had orchestrated the previous magical feast were still hidden in the dark, and seeing that the direct magical attacks were ineffective, they immediately switched to providing rear support, deploying defense magic for the vanguard black knights. “Is this a well-trained force?” Shane was somewhat intrigued. However, Shane’s movements weren’t slow at all, when the black knights attacked, he swiftly switched his magic wand for the Holy Sword. The ensuing exchange was particularly spectacular. Of course, the spectacle was all in Shane’s performance. Facing the black knights who were advancing to his front, swinging their weapons without mercy, attempting to cut him down, Shane’s figure suddenly trembled, his footsteps moved in succession, amazingly evading all the incoming slashes amidst several steps back and sidesteps. With the Skills “Evasion” and “Close Range Evasion,” Shane’s dodging ability had long been extraordinary. Even when surrounded and besieged, Shane could see through all of the enemies’ attacks and then, relying on the “Military God’s” combat instincts and grasp on the battle, he would avoid all attacks by taking the most efficient and shortest paths. While evading, Shane skillfully turned his body, switched positions, simultaneously reaching out one hand to grasp the weapons wielded by the black knights, while his other hand wielding the sword, launched relentless slashing attacks against these unforgiving attackers. The slashing, emitting red magic light, effortlessly cut through the black knights’ defensive magic barriers and severed their bodies, causing blood to splatter. “Spurt!” “Spurt!” “Spurt!” Shane moved easily , one fluid motion after another, delivering slashes empowered with the “Magical Sword,” sending black knight after black knight to their deaths on the spot, causing them to fall in succession, staining the ground red. As a result, in the blink of an eye, dozens of black knights lay in pools of blood, lifeless. “How is this possible…!?” On a cliff some distance from this battlefield, a pair of knights dressed in black witnessed this scene with looks of shock on their faces. “The black knights that my Galuo Li Family has painstakingly cultivated in secret, only a hundred and one in total, to be taken down so easily…!?” The two could scarcely believe what they were seeing. It should be noted that each of these black knights was Level 50, and cultivating even one required countless resources. Now, they were being taken down by single strikes, which was simply unbelievable. Unfortunately, these two were unaware that Shane hadn’t even used “Extreme Transformation” yet. Their attack, as far as Shane was concerned, was nothing more than a farce. “Quick! Release the magic!” As they watched the precious black knights fall one by one, their hearts bled, and they quickly ordered the surrounding mages, clad in black robes, to unleash their magic. But, for some reason, the mages did not even move an inch. “Didn’t you hear us?” “Quickly release the magic!” The two roared furiously at this sight. The response, however, came in the form of a tender voice. “Stop yelling, their hearts would break instantly from being subjected to my close-range pressure, so they can’t hear you anymore.” These words made the two men freeze. The next moment, they saw a frail silhouette appearing silently before them. “An opportunity doesn’t come often; let you both experience what they felt just before death.” This was a heartless declaration. This was the verdict of death. As the voice fell, the two immobilized felt an overwhelming pressure descend upon them. Without any suspense, the sound of hearts bursting echoed in their ears. And the two fell into perpetual darkness. From that moment on, they would never wake again.
