Chapter 261: 260, a connection too wonderful for words Chapter 261: 260, a connection too wonderful for words Vivian’s team didn’t know that the person they were waiting for had actually already arrived.
It was just that some shortsighted thing had been blocking his way, causing his speed to drastically decrease.
Accompanied by uncontrollable roars, one after another monster that had fully transformed into a Refined Demon and assumed bizarre forms lunged at Shane.
Shane had already slain several, leaving the corpses of these Refined Demons around him, but the remaining ones still carelessly pounced at him, and some even went for the corpses of those he had killed, devouring the bodies into their bellies.
“You guys are really fucking disgusting!”
Seeing the monsters of the same Refined Demon kind not only pounce at him but also at those corpses, biting and swallowing them before their bodies swelled up, resulting in limbs bursting out of their bodies, Shane felt physically revolted and started cursing as if he was about to vomit.
Ai Yi’s face was frosty too, her small mouth puffing and blowing, several strands of Dragon Breath as thin as threads were spat out, coming in contact with the bodies of the monsters.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”…
In a flash, the monsters that had been touched by Ai Yi’s Dragon Breath exploded one after another, turning into pools of blood.
Shane also used magic, creating flames from the air that swept across, instantly engulfing several Refined Demons and burning them to ash.
Shane also granted the ground beneath their feet a new property, making it seem as if it melted away, gradually transforming into a swamp.
The Refined Demons that were still lunging their way sank into the swamp one after another, desperately struggling, but it wasn’t long before they disappeared into the mud, completely motionless.
But Shane and Ai Yi were already getting impatient.
“The closer we get to the depths of this canyon, the more Refined Demons there are.”
Shane furrowed his brows tightly.
“Such a nuisance,” Ai Yi said impatiently, “Might as well just completely destroy this canyon.”
This suggestion was not the first that Ai Yi had come up with.
In fact, Shane thought so too.
It would be the easiest and most effortless way, completely ending the issue, and they could destroy the ceremony as well as all those responsible for it, sending them all to Hell for free.
“Vivian and the others are still in this canyon.”
Shane agonized over this.
If it weren’t for this reason, Shane probably would have taken action even earlier than Ai Yi, pulverizing this canyon to level ground.
Ai Yi, however, was quite dissatisfied with this concern.
“Isn’t there a very tough little miss inside? Shouldn’t she be able to protect everyone?”
Ai Yi actually said such a thing.
“You really love to joke,” Shane said, forcing a laugh without any real humor.
Although Vivian’s defense was indeed very strong, it was still a question whether she could withstand the force powerful enough to destroy the entire Artlu Canyon.
Keep in mind that the canyon was not only huge but also very large, probably even bigger than the Royal Capital.
Destroying a canyon of such size would require an immense amount of power, definitely not a small feat.
Shane estimated that even he would have to exert his full power and use “Aurora Meteor Shower” again without unleashing Holy Sword to achieve such a feat.
As for Ai Yi, she could definitely do it, too, but the force she’d use would not be weaker than Shane’s full-force “Aurora Meteor Shower.”
Therefore, Shane really doubted that Level 50 Vivian could withstand such a tremendous force.
Even if she could, would she still be able to protect everyone else while defending herself?
Not to mention, Shane wasn’t just looking for safety.
What if they survived but lost an arm or a leg?
Hence, the idea of completely destroying this place was not feasible.
“Alas…” Ai Yi naturally understood this point, and with a sigh said, “If only we had kept that girl Laischa close by from the start.”
…Was this going to turn Laischa into a professional Instant Movement driver?
How nice for Lady Laischa, if only you weren’t missing now, you would have certainly enjoyed the treatment here.
In the end, Shane also couldn’t help but sigh.
Just as Shane was about to speak, Ai Yi’s eyes suddenly brightened.
Ai Yi’s voice became as light and joyful as a child’s, filled with a happiness that had not been present before.
Shane paused, immediately feeling the magic power.
This invigorated Shane’s spirit.
After encountering so much that was repulsive, the sudden appearance of a group of humans was a welcome change no matter who they were.
It was a matter of mood.
That’s why Ai Yi was so elated.
Of course, because of her mood, Ai Yi failed to recognize the newcomers as acquaintances.
As for Shane, he had already identified the owner of the magic power.
Shane was a bit surprised.
However, since they had encountered each other, they must confront one another.
“Let’s go have a look.”
Shane quickly took Ai Yi’s hand and headed toward the source of the magic power.
Little did they know, fate works in mysterious ways.
Right in the direction Shane approached, three figures indeed appeared.
“Jesse, Lis, haven’t you found it yet?”
A frivolous voice rose.
Among them, a demon with a frivolous and lazy demeanor walked at the back, protected by a pair of twins who looked exactly alike.
This person was none other than Jiasinta.
Jiasinta had actually shown up here.
Jesse and Lis, the siblings in front of him, were the devoted twin demons from the demon clan Shane had surmised were magic lives.
Jesse was the male demon.
Lis was the female demon.
While protecting Jiasinta, the twin demons respectfully called out.
“We’re almost upon it, Master.”
“According to the remnants of magic power, it should be in this vicinity.”
Jesse and Lis promptly reported.
Jiasinta smiled, his eyes devoid of much emotion.
“I had wanted to discuss with the royal family, to have them allow us to join in the investigation of the anomalies around the Royal Capital. I wouldn’t have minded revealing some things, but it seems they’ve made the first move.”
Jiasinta was there because he received a report from his subordinates that the Demon Refining Ceremony was underway in Artlu Canyon, so he hurried over with Jesse and Lis.
For this, Jiasinta had even used a precious single-use magic tool to jump deep into the canyon with almost instant movement.
The effort was worth it.
Thanks to this, Jiasinta had caught the origin of this ceremony in one fell swoop.
“Now, while it hasn’t started consuming the sacrifices and grown, let’s deal with it while it’s still weak.”
“We won’t let it get away.”
Jesse and Lis responded immediately, their faces cold.
“Make sure you handle this beautifully,” Jiasinta continued to instruct. “The mistress has entrusted this to me; without resolving this, I would have no face to see her.”
Jesse and Lis nodded at once.
Under these circumstances, the trio of Jiasinta, Jesse, and Lis arrived at a corner.
Jesse and Lis exclaimed in shock.
“Good evening to you.”
Shane emerged from around the corner, all smiles.
Jiasinta’s gaze locked with the little girl led by Shane.
Fate, indeed, is inexplicable.
