Chapter 273

"— —"

The moment the red horn fell from Tierre's head, her roar came to an abrupt halt.

The atmosphere was no longer turbulent.

The surging magic power was no longer there.

The quaking valley regained its silence, leaving only a layer of dust in the air.

"Did it work?"

Ai Yi raised an eyebrow.

"Did … Did it work?"

Vivian, Lumia, and Merica were also on their guard.

Sean's heart skipped a beat. He stretched out his hand and caught the horn that had fallen from Tierre's head while staring at her.

Under such circumstances, the terrifying aura around Tierre disappeared bit by bit. The violent power surging in her body also gradually dissipated.

At the same time, Tierre's level, which was almost at max level, began to drop. In just a few moments, she fell to level 60.

Only then did the scarlet luster in Tierre's eyes dissipate and she fell to the ground.

Shien hurriedly reached out and caught Tierre as she fell toward him.

The lava-like heat on the young lady in his arms had subsided.

Upon realizing this, Shien heaved a sigh of relief. He landed before everyone with Tierre in his arms.

"Tierre!"

"Tierre!"

Lumia and Merica rushed over in a fluster.

Vivian also went to Tierre and touched her forehead. After realizing that her body temperature had dropped, she heaved a sigh of relief.

As for Ai Yi, she had already returned to Shien's side and retracted her dragon wings.

However, at this moment, not only was the little lass looking at the unconscious Tierre with an interested gaze, but she was also staring at the holy sword in Shien's hand. No one knew what she was thinking about.

"Alright, Tierre should be fine now."

Shien said to everyone.

"Since the power converted from that horn won't burden the user, Tierre should only be unconscious now and will wake up soon, right?"

At least, that was what Shien thought as he listened to Tierre's gradually stabilizing breathing.

"Is … is that so?"

"That's great …"

Lumia and Merica also heaved a huge sigh of relief, as though they had just survived a disaster.

Vivian's face also revealed a smile.

"Fortunately, you're here. Otherwise, with Tierre's power after using the 'horn', we wouldn't have been able to stop her."

Vivian said to Shien in relief.

If it weren't for Shien arriving just in time, Vivian could totally predict what would have happened next.

She must have gone berserk and slaughtered Jeremiah and the others. Then, she became stronger and stronger. By the time someone came to stop her, she might have already become stronger than anyone else.

That was the terror of Tierre's unique skill.

Given time, Tierre would become an invincible monster, and even the three goddesses and six demons wouldn't be able to stop her.

By then, there would be a terrifying existence comparable to the Demon King in this world. of them.

As for himself and the others, they might very well be killed by the enraged Tierre.

That was something that would definitely make Tierre wish she was dead.

Vivian couldn't help but shudder at the thought.

Vivian then turned to Ai Yi.

"Thank you for stopping Tierre for us, Miss Ai Yi."

Vivian thanked Ai Yi solemnly.

"No need to be so polite." Ai Yi didn't think much of it. She even smiled and said, "Although I didn't have much interest in the beginning, it's fortunate that I made this trip. Otherwise, I would have missed out on many interesting things."

With that, Ai Yi looked at Tierre again.

"I didn't expect this girl to have such a hidden ability. Humans have indeed been blessed since ancient times, especially humans. Even though most of them are so weak, every once in a while, some geniuses and prodigies that even we gods and demons don't expect to appear. Even the heroes have always been humans. There has never been a hero from another race. It's really incredible."

Evidently, Ai Yi was interested in Tierre.

After all, as long as the conditions were met, Tierre could become even more powerful than herself.

If such an existence couldn't pique Ai Yi's interest, then there was no one else in this world who could.

Of course, what Ai Yi was most interested in was Tierre's unique ability to transform into a ghost.

(This unique ability is surprisingly similar to my [Dragon Transformation].)

Therefore, Ai Yi's interest in Tierre became greater.

But compared to Tierre …

(I'm more interested in her power.)

Ai Yi looked at Shien with deep meaning.

Although the holy sword in his hand was radiating a dazzling light, Ai Yi could tell that its power was still being suppressed.

In other words, the power that Shien obtained after breaking the seal wasn't the entirety of the holy sword.

However, Ai Yi could clearly feel that even so, the power that Shien's holy sword exerted wasn't any weaker than that of the hero Mithra.

In other words …

(This guy's potential is indeed above all the past heroes, including Mithra.)

Thinking of this, Ai Yi's interest in Shien grew several times stronger.

On the other side, Lucia and Merica, who were completely relieved, finally had an idea about the holy sword in Shien's hand.

"That … That … Mr. Shien …?"

Looking at the holy sword in Shien's hand, Merica asked cautiously and suspiciously.

"Could it be that the sword in your hand is …?"

Merica was both surprised and puzzled.

"It looks like …"

Lucia muttered.

Needless to say, these two girls recognized the holy sword in Shien's hand.

The appearance of the Holy Sword was too gorgeous, and it was too easy to recognize. It was impossible for it to not be recognized after being directly witnessed like this.

The reason why Lucia and Merica's tone was full of doubt and uncertainty was because Shien's holy sword had two more layers of seals that were not completely unsealed, and its appearance was more or less concealed.

"Ahaha …"

Shien laughed dryly, and as he sealed the holy sword again, he coughed and said.

"What do you think? It looks like it, right? "

His tone was as if he was saying, "This is a fake."

Both Lumia and Merica wanted to complain.

Fake?

How could there be such a strong fake to buy? Can you introduce us to it?

As long as you say it, we will buy it in bulk. Do you believe me?

Of course, Lucia and Merica knew that Shien did not want them to pursue this matter.

Even Vivian shook her head at the two of them, signaling them to stop asking questions.

Since that was the case, Lucia and Merica did not ask anymore.

However, the way they looked at Shien changed again.

In particular, Merica's eyes lit up.

That look made Shien feel a little overwhelmed.

(… If this goes on, it won't be long before this elf girl comes to fight for his favor.)

While complaining, Shien tightened his arms around Tierre.

(Let's settle the matter with this girl first.)
