Why must the devil be Defeated? Chapter 272

Chapter 272: 271 ‘It’s time to go home and take a bath. Chapter 272: 271 ‘It’s time to go home and take a bath. “Chop off that horn…?” Upon hearing Vivian’s words, both Lu Muya and Merica couldn’t help but direct their gazes toward Tielle. There, Tielle was furiously roaring, and the swirling magic around her had intensified to a terrifying scale, causing the horn on her head to grow redder and her power increasingly fearsome. Shane could already see a trace of seriousness beginning to emerge in Ai Yi’s originally indifferent eyes. This meant that if things continued this way, even Ai Yi wouldn’t be able to handle Tielle’s attacks with ease. In such a situation, still having to deal with Tielle’s fierce assault while aiming to chop off that horn? Shane didn’t believe that this was something that could be easily accomplished. Besides, that horn had already absorbed so much magic power that it had probably become quite hard; half-hearted attacks would definitely not do the job. “We have no other choice!” Without further hesitation, Shane dashed into the catastrophic battlefield like a whirlwind, charging toward Tielle. Vivian, Merica, and Lu Muya all exclaimed one after another. Ai Yi, who was engaged in a battle with Tielle, flicked her mouth with a flash in her eyes, a mix of boredom and intrigue in her voice. “It seems it’s time for a change of players.” As she spoke, the dragon wings on Ai Yi’s back fluttered slightly, and she retreated like a shooting star, instantly creating distance from Tielle. Tielle immediately roared and prepared to chase after her. However, at that moment, a figure had already intercepted her path ahead. “Yo, still throwing a tantrum?” There Shane appeared before Tielle, grinning at her. “Stop it, it’s time to go home and take a bath, young lady.” Shane’s playful voice, when it entered Tielle’s ears, caused her to pause slightly, and the red light in her eyes flickered a few times, causing the horn on her forehead to also shimmer erratically. But quickly, Tielle’s face bore a ferocious expression again, roaring loudly and charging toward Shane with a terrifying momentum. Shane instantly used the Extreme Transformation skill, causing magic to surge through his body and his power to swell abruptly. When Tielle’s hand struck the sword raised by Shane, accompanied by a bell-like clang and a seismic airwave, Shane was sent flying without any ability to retaliate. Shane only felt an overpowering force acting on his body, not only numbing his arms but also causing his entire body to convulse as if in pain. This made Shane gasp in surprise. “Holy shit, she’s that strong?” How exactly did Ai Yi manage to casually deflect it with one hand? As Shane pondered this, Tielle’s figure, like lightning, appeared in front of him, roaring while pounding down with her fist. Seeing the fist that seemed to tear through the skies and create horrifying sonic booms, Shane dared not take it head-on. His resistance skill had already been broken through once by Tielle, who had undoubtedly become even stronger than before; taking the hit would be suicidal. In an instant, Shane’s figure vanished, dodging Tielle’s imposing fist. The next second, Shane appeared like a flash at Tielle’s side. Faced with Tielle’s unmatched power, Shane chose to evade it, using the Instant Movement skill to cope. Tielle, seeming to sense Shane’s presence, turned abruptly after roaring and swung a crimson claw strike that ripped through the air. Shane again activated the Instant Movement skill and disappeared from the spot. Tielle’s claw strike instantly hit the ground beside her, leaving several shocking claw marks amid the roar and flying dust and gravel. And Shane appeared on Tielle’s other side, raising the Holy Sword in his hand. “Unsealing (Heresu)!” Faced with Tielle’s terrifying power, Shane finally unsealed his own Holy Sword. Accompanied by a flash of holy radiance, Shane’s Holy Sword split into several pieces of Blade Steel, forming multiple steel layers that contracted into a Sword Ring fitted around the hilt. Shane had thus unlocked the first layer of sealing on his Holy Sword, allowing the Holy Light to flicker. A surge of powerful force immediately flowed from the unsealed Holy Sword into Shane’s body, causing his aura to surge explosively. Witnessing this scene, Lu Muya and Merica’s eyes widened. Vivian’s eyes shimmered slightly, her gaze dreamy. Ai Yi, floating mid-air, also witnessed this spectacle. “Is that his Holy Sword?” Ai Yi stared intently at the Holy Sword in Shane’s hand, his expression serious. The radiance of the Holy Sword illuminated the entire canyon, draping it in a layer of golden gauze. Tielle seemed to feel the threat, her roar becoming even more fierce. And the horn on her forehead glowed intensely red, suddenly intensifying her absorption of Magic Power, rapidly enhancing Tielle’s strength. Shane knew he couldn’t delay any longer. Otherwise, Tielle would become stronger and stronger until he could no longer handle her, and possibly even Ai Yi might not be able to handle her. “I will not hold back anymore, Tielle.” Shane, holding the shining golden Holy Sword, cast Magic at Tielle. Instantly, the air around Tielle felt densely heavy, suddenly pressing down, compressing her in midair. Tielle struggled fiercely, causing bursts of air explosions, looking extremely fearsome. “Imposition*Solidification.” “Grant*Imprisonment.” Shane released Magic again, casting three types at once around the atmosphere surrounding Tielle. These three properties were all attributes of Upper-level Magic, and combined with Shane’s astounding Magic Power, the effects were highly significant. Moreover, since Shane had now unsealed the Holy Sword, though just the first layer, he also gained the effect of All Skill Levels increased by five, causing the Skill Level of “Magic*Grant” to skyrocket. After several Magic spells, Tielle was completely solidified in the space like a vortex stirred atmosphere, absolutely unable to break free. But even so, the single horn on Tielle’s forehead continued to absorb a massive amount of Magic Power, ceaselessly boosting Tielle’s strength. At this rate, wouldn’t Tielle definitely gain the power to break free from these multiple Magic bindings in less than a minute? But Shane was not going to give her that time. Shane appeared in front of Tielle, his Holy Sword slicing down. The golden sword light slashed across Tielle’s forehead, cutting through her horn, eliciting a crisp sound. The red light on the horn trembled abruptly, then dimmed, followed by a breaking sound. Moments later, the red horn fell from Tielle’s forehead.
