Dilequis's gaze toward Shane suddenly underwent a drastic change.
How did he know about "that"?
Dilequis's face completely changed color, and his mind became incredibly confused.
The Lefirut Family Head had no idea that Shane had already dealt with a Demon Infant.
While in the Kingdom, when Harvis was leading the team to annihilate the Lefirut Family's elite squad, William had summoned the Demon Infant to help him escape.
From that time, Shane knew that there was a Demon Infant within the Lefirut Family.
And it was very likely that it was given by Moro, the Imperial Concubine, who had intricate ties with the Old Demon Clan Faction.
So, Shane simply smirked at Dilequis.
"If that is Lefirut's last resort, then I'm afraid you are about to lose your last hope."
With Shane's words, the floor of the underground hall suddenly began to shake violently.
Shane's "Outer Destiny" smoothly captured that familiar Magic Power.
That evil, chaotic, and oppressive Magic Power.
The ground suddenly exploded, lifting countless shards and rubble.
Amidst the billowing dust, the monster's roar thundered, transforming into a sound wave, and blew away everything in the underground hall.
A huge figure emerged from the ground and appeared before everyone's eyes in this underground hall.
It was, indeed, the Demon Infant.
"The Holy Beast bestowed by the Imperial Concubine has appeared!"
Originally terrified, the people of the Lefirut Family brightened up at this sight, bursting out into exclamations as though the grotesque monster in front of them was a divine being capable of saving them, with some even filled with fervor and adoration in their eyes.
They referred to this evil Demon Infant as a Holy Beast.
Their appearance was just like that of fanatical zealots, or even strikingly similar to cultists.
"Truly a disgusting group of people."
Shane turned around and looked at the Demon Infant.
The Demon Infant immediately roared out and, facing Shane, emitted scorching Dragon's Breath.
The Dragon's Breath, powerful enough to break through all defenses, instantly vaporized the air in the entire underground hall.
High temperatures swept through the area.
In response, Shane, not alarmed but amused, glanced behind him and revealed a playful smile.
Following that, with a flash, Shane disappeared from view.
And with Shane's disappearance, the Lefirut Family Head behind him was exposed to the Dragon's Breath.
Watching the scorching Dragon's Breath approaching, Dilequis's eyes widened in horror as he screamed out.
In the next second, Dilequis was mercilessly engulfed by the Dragon's Breath.
Before he could even scream, this once high and mighty Lefirut Family Head was instantly vaporized by the searing Dragon's Breath.
Only then did the booming sound erupt.
The Demon Infant's Dragon's Breath shattered the entire underground hall, causing it to collapse amidst a fiery explosion.
Shane appeared mid-air, and then, without hesitation, performed Instant Movement, disappearing from the collapsing underground hall.
The Demon Infant immediately howled, indifferent to the fact that its Dragon's Breath had obliterated the Lefirut Family Head. With a sway of its centipedal tail, its huge body burst upwards, smashing the ceiling of the underground hall as it burrowed through.
Only a group of Lefirut Family members and Death Soldiers were left in the collapsing underground hall, their faces filled with horror and despair as they screamed.
Amidst these desperate cries, the underground hall completely collapsed.
Numerous people were buried there, never to see the sky outside again.
At this time, the meteor that fell toward the Lefirut Family had already stopped.
But, the Lefirut Family was completely leveled to the ground, turned into a field of ruins.
And the people of the Lefirut Family had understandably all perished.
Such a terrifying event, such a significant stir, naturally attracted the attention of many, drawing numerous figures to converge toward this area.
Some were private troops from various Noble Families, sent to investigate the situation; some were from the Imperial Knight Order, who hurried over to reconnoiter after hearing the commotion, and they all saw the Lefirut Family, completely annihilated and reduced to rubble.
This shocked and panicked them.
Tilly, among them, looked at the ruins of the Lefirut Family, her face still holding traces of lingering fear.
After all, unlike the others, she had witnessed the entire process of the Lefirut Family's destruction and even knew who the culprit behind it all was.
However, including Tilly, everyone present had no extra energy to think about anything else.
Because, the situation that happened here had not yet ended.
Under the watchful eyes of all, a figure cloaked in a cloak suddenly appeared in midair, standing against the wind.
Before the people who saw this scene could react, the ground of the Lefirut Family, now in ruins, suddenly burst open, allowing a huge figure to emerge from it.
The monster's roar finally resounded throughout the Imperial City, echoing in everyone's ears.
"What... is that...!?"
All those who saw this scene were shocked.
In such a situation, a battle intense enough to shake the souls of everyone present suddenly unfolded. This version was sourced from *.
The scorching Dragon's Breath, like erupting magma, swept up toward the mysterious person floating in midair.
Facing the scorching Dragon's Breath that instantly raised the temperature of the whole world, the cloaked mysterious figure did not dodge, merely drawing an ordinary-looking sword.
In the trembling air, dazzling light burst forth from that sword.
The brilliance alone made everyone who saw this scene lose their composure.
The mysterious fighter then held such a brilliantly shining sword, slashing suddenly at the incoming scorching Dragon's Breath.
Like slashing through a torrent, cutting through a Fire Sea, the mysterious fighter's slashing stroke cut the Dragon's Breath in two, turning them into two flowing streams passing by both sides of the body.
The cloak fluttered wildly due to the streams.
The atmosphere was thrown into swirling chaos by the high temperature.
The cloaked mysterious figure thus split the Dragon's Breath with one sword stroke and then suddenly dove down, turning into a streak of light, rushing toward the half-human half-centipede monster.
The monster let out a crazed roar, continuously spewing Dragon's Breath at the mysterious fighter.
The Dragon's Breath, capable of breaking through all defenses and claimed to be unstoppable, was repeatedly slashed apart by the diving mysterious figure, bursting into clusters of dazzling fiery fireworks.
The monster finally realized the danger and also recognized that the Dragon's Breath was ineffective against the mysterious fighter. With a turn of its head, its centipede-like lower half turned into a huge black tail whip, furiously lashing towards the mysterious figure in midair.
That strike shook the atmosphere and also whipped up a storm, its might extremely terrifying.
A dazzling sword light, like the cold light of the moon, appeared in midair, meeting the violently lashing tail whip.
With a cloth-rending slashing sound, the centipede-like gigantic tail was split into two halves by the dazzling sword light, and with scattering fresh blood, fell towards the ground.
The half-human half-centipede monster let out a pained howl.
But its vitality was also incredibly tenacious; it didn't fall down. Instead, like a mirage, its entire huge body swayed and became illusory.
The next second, the centipede-like giant tail was reattached to the monster's body, allowing it to return to its original form.
The monster seemed to possess an Undying Body; despite severe injuries, it could instantly recover, turning everything into nothingness.
Such a monster, if it were to run rampant in the Imperial City, perhaps even the Imperial Knight Order couldn't handle it, right?
Its power was undoubtedly of Legendary level, having already reached at least Level 95, and with the Dragon's Breath that could break through all defenses and the Undying Body capable of transitioning between vaporous states, without methods specifically targeting these two abilities, it could eventually annihilate any opponent it faced.
Back then, near the Royal Capital, when facing the same monster, two heroes wielding the Holy Sword also underwent a tough battle.
But today, this monster posed no threat to that mysterious fighter.
Once again, an immensely dazzling and brilliant light burst forth from that seemingly ordinary-looking sword.
This brilliance, even brighter than the previous one.
The mysterious fighter, like a Holy Spirit descending from heaven, holding a Divine Sword, dashed in front of the half-human half-centipede monster.
The sword light, like a crescent moon, appeared on the earth.
That ultimate slash landed on the half-human half-centipede monster, cutting it in two.
That ear-piercing roar abruptly stopped.
The half-human half-centipede monster just stalled there, no longer moving.
Everyone present also held their breath, their expressions constantly shifting.
Before long, a white line appeared on the monster's body.
That white line completely split it into left and right halves, starting from the top of the monster's head and extending straight to the base of its tail.
Then, along this white line, the monster split into two, falling to the left and right.
The heavy crash sound spread, reaching the night sky and also penetrating into the hearts of everyone present.
Smoke and dust rose from the fallen body of the monster.
The mysterious fighter then shot back into midair, and the golden light on the sword began to dim until the brilliance completely disappeared.
The next moment, the cloaked mysterious figure disappeared without any warning.
Leaving only a group of people from the Empire, staring at the fallen monster corpse, recalling the stunning battle that had just unfolded, deeply mesmerized.
