Chapter 542

"Thump — — Thump — — Thump — — Thump — —"

In the dark cave, heavy footsteps like this could be heard from time to time.

The huge monster's figure wandered in the darkness from time to time, looking very terrifying.

If it were someone else, they would be trembling in fear and pale in the face of such a scene. They would run away without hesitation, wishing to get as far away from the monster as possible to avoid being swallowed in one bite.

Even a powerhouse above level 80 who was sought after and respected by countless people in the outside world could only be reduced to an insignificant ant in the face of these monsters. They would be swallowed into the monster's stomach and become an insignificant snack.

Without a doubt, this was a devil's den.

A devil's den with many violent and terrifying monsters that could bring nightmares to intruders.

It was believed that even the kingdom's most elite knights would find it extremely troublesome to face these monsters here.

However, at that very moment, a figure appeared soundlessly in front of such a monster.

"Yo."

The man who held the sealed holy sword and had a mysterious furry beast on his head extended his hand and greeted the monster in a friendly manner.

"First time meeting." Shien grinned and said: "Then, farewell forever?"

Saying so, Shien moved in front of the monster in a flash, extended his hand, and placed it on the monster's body.

"[Oblivion. Split]"

Magic was spat out from the palm and instantly covered the monster's entire body.

"Puchi — —!"

A loud tearing sound echoed, causing the monster's skin and flesh to split open. Its entire body seemed to have been cut by countless blades, becoming riddled with wounds and dripping with blood.

"XX XX XX — —!!!"

The monster was finally awakened by the intense pain. Only now did it react and let out a terrifying wail.

Unfortunately, it was too late to react at this time.

"[Oblivion. Stiffen]"

"[Oblivion. Slow]"

"[Oblivion. Stun]"

"[Oblivion. Paralyze]"

"[Oblivion. Heavy]"

With the continuous flow of magic, Shien continuously imposed various negative statuses on the monster's body, causing the monster's wailing to stop abruptly. Its entire body instantly froze and couldn't move. It even directly collapsed on the ground as if it was drunk, on the verge of collapsing.

"[Star Arrays]!"

Without any hesitation, Sean once again used the superior Celestial Body Magic. Starlight flickered, and the celestial body took shape, turning into countless rotating stars that swept out and surrounded the monster. They shot out light ribbons and entangled the monster heavily.

Not long after, the light chrysalis replaced the monster's original position and appeared in the pitch-black cave.

Then, the light chrysalis began to beat.

After a beat, it shrank.

After 10 beats, it shrunk.

After 10 beats, it shrunk by 10 times.

By the time the crushing sound was heard, the light chrysalis had completely disappeared.

Of course, the monster also disappeared without a trace, and its terrifying figure could no longer be seen.

Only then did Shien clap his hands in satisfaction. He retracted his magic and ended his work.

A Legendary-tier Alchemist that could single-handedly destroy a small country and even the kingdom's royal knights were troubled by it was killed by Shien with lightning speed.

The legendary Alchemist, who could single-handedly destroy a small kingdom and make the kingdom's guards feel troubled, was killed by Sean in a thunderous manner.

In just ten seconds, Shien had killed a Legendary-tier existence.

In just 10 seconds, Sean got rid of a Legendary existence.

Shien calculated.

The Alchemist just now was the third one he had killed since entering this cave.

The Refined Demon he had just killed was the third one he had killed since entering this place.

Lide laid on top of Shien's head and witnessed the entire process of Shien killing the Legendary-tier Alchemist. "You're becoming more and more like a monster. This is already the third one, yet you still killed it so easily. If I hadn't seen Mithra before, I would've suspected that you're the one who could even wrestle with the Goddess of Fate." "That's indeed a high evaluation." Lide sighed as he watched the entire process of Shien killing the Legendary-tier Alchemist. "You're becoming more and more like a monster. This is already the third one, yet you still killed it so easily. If I hadn't seen Mithra before, I would've suspected that you're the one who could even go toe-to-toe with the Goddess of Fate."

That was undoubtedly a very high evaluation.

She even compared him to the Hero who defeated the Demon King. Wasn't that a high evaluation?

But those were Lide's sincere words.

"You won't run out of mana?"

Lide was really doubtful.

It couldn't be helped. Shien's performance was just too amazing. It was as if his mana would never run out. He used such powerful spells one after another, and he seemed to be doing it with ease. It was no wonder that Lide was doubtful.

A spell that could work on a Legendary-tier Alchemist and have such an obvious effect must be extraordinary. Even a Legendary-tier Elven Mage would have to consume a lot of mana to use one of those spells. It was already a good result to be able to kill one successfully.

But what about Shien?

It was as if he didn't need money. He used it lavishly every time and instantly killed a Legendary-tier Alchemist with ease. His mana didn't seem to be decreasing at all.

This devil power was so huge that it was probably unparalleled in the world. Even as a devil, she couldn't compare to it, right?

How would Lide know?

"Indeed, it will consume a lot of mana to play like this." Shien said with a nonchalant expression. "But it won't be a burden to me."

With Shien's current mana, he could indeed use such powerful spells as he pleased.

That level of consumption would undoubtedly be terrifying for others, but for him, it was like a drop in the ocean.

Even while they were talking, Shien's mana that had just been consumed had recovered.

If that was the case, how could he restrain himself and not use the most powerful method to kill his opponent?

To put it bluntly, Shien's current attainments in magic were far above that of a Legendary-tier Great Mage.

In the battle with Alidia, Shien only used close-combat methods and held back. If he had used magical methods, he would have been able to defeat Alidia quickly.

The abundance of mana allowed Shien to have the confidence to use countless powerful methods.

If it was someone else who used mana like Shien, even if they could kill an alchemy demon, they would collapse on the spot. They wouldn't be able to recover without resting for a day and night.

And Shien's close-combat methods also consumed a lot of mana.

The use of [Fate of the External] consumed mana.

The use of [Fate of the External] consumed mana.

The use of [Fate of the External] consumed mana.

Even the use of [Fate of the External], [Fate of the External] and [Fate of the External] consumed mana.

Otherwise, did they really think that Shien could use Teleportation so frequently and generously without consuming any mana?

Depending on the distance and the strength of the obstacles, Shien would need to consume a corresponding amount of mana when he used Teleportation.

It was not hard to imagine how much mana would be consumed for a high-level skill like Instant Movement to be used once.

At least, others certainly could not be like Sean, who could use it as he pleased without any scruples.

Therefore, most of the credit for Shien's current strength could be attributed to his incomparably large amount of mana.

Without enough mana, even if Shien fused countless skills with [Fate of the External] and obtained the seven powerful Fate Skills, he wouldn't be able to use them as he pleased. His strength would definitely be greatly reduced.

Fortunately, Shien had a special skill like [Providence], which allowed him to have the greatest improvement in all aspects when he leveled up. Moreover, [Fate of the External] also greatly increased his mana and mana recovery speed.

Because of this, Shien had a special level of mana that allowed him to have his current strength.

This level of magic power was astonishing even in the eyes of a demon-dweller like Lide, so it was evident from this.

However, Shien also had the help of two special skills, [Providence] and [Fate of the External], to have his current mana.

So-called special skills were abilities that could transcend common sense to a certain extent.

Shien had a total of two special skills, and each of them was incomparably illegal, which provided him with amazing growth potential. Actually, it was natural that he would have such amazing mana now.

But …

"It seems like we're almost here."

Shien looked around.

"We've been here for a full two hours, and we've only encountered three large Alchemists. It seems that there aren't many groups of Legendary-tier Alchemists here."

Lide agreed with Shien's statement.

"Legendary-tier monsters are rare to begin with. Even if there are a few in Tagore Forest, they have survived since ancient times. Each of them has amazing strength and a sense of danger. If they see that the situation is not good, they will immediately escape. Even the [Original Demon] wouldn't be able to catch many Legendary-tier monsters for the ritual, right?"

Lide pondered.

"Of course, it's also possible that most of the Legendary-tier Alchemists have been devoured by the Nephilim larvae, and the [Original Demon] used them to create the seventh Nephilim."

That was more likely.

In any case, Shien didn't believe that there would only be three Legendary-tier Alchemists in such a large ritual ground.

Perhaps, as Lide said, most of the Legendary-tier Alchemists that once existed here had been recovered by the [Original Demon] and fed to the Nephilim larvae to create the seventh Nephilim.

"So there are only three left here?" Shien asked casually. "Or should we continue searching?"

"My suggestion is to continue searching," Lide said. "Since the ritual ground is still here, it means that the Nephilim larvae, the core of the ritual, are also here. At the very least, we have to find it and destroy it on the spot."

"Alright." Shien shrugged. "I don't like those monsters anyway."

As soon as he said that, a laugh rang out.

"Is that so? I think they're cute. "
