Chapter 545

"Hum!"

Along with the tremor in the air, a huge amount of mana rose from Maki's body. It was like a black fog that lingered in the air above the cave.

Sean felt a little oppressive, causing him to raise his eyebrows.

Lide's eyes narrowed, and he warned Leylin.

"This Apostle is not simple. He seems to be a mage. The strength of his mana is probably comparable to Sophie's. You have to be careful, kid."

This time, Shien listened to Lide's words.

This was because Shien could feel an aura that was not inferior to that of the Elf Queen from Maki's body.

This meant that Maki was most likely on the same level as the Elf Queen.

The Elf Queen was the number one mage in the human race. Even Alidia had claimed that he could only win by a hair's breadth, and if he were to fight her again, he might not be able to defeat the Elf Queen.

From this, it could be seen that if the Apostle of the [Original Demon] was comparable to the Elf Queen, his magical attainments must be very high.

"An existence of this level actually appeared just like that?"

This Primordial Devil sure is a deep one.

As this thought flashed through his mind, the mana in Shien's body was released.

"Boom!"

Mana immediately surged out of Shien's body like a volcanic eruption, and it instantly shook the entire cave, causing the surroundings to shake.

Maki's eyes flickered under her hood.

"He's really quite strong …"

Maki's expression turned solemn.

After being reminded by that person, Maki spent a lot of effort to investigate the hometown of the elves, and from there, she discovered the existence of Shien and his group.

Knowing that this Earl of the Kingdom, who was recently in the limelight in the human world, had appeared here with the Demonic Dragon and the strongest Evil God, Maki immediately became vigilant, and she carefully investigated Shien.

After investigating, Maki realized that this Earl of the Kingdom was actually hiding his strength.

No, it should be said that his own brilliance had always been overshadowed by the demons and goddesses around him, causing many people to subconsciously ignore his own strength.

Maki also realized this because of her cautiousness, and finally realized that Shien himself was a troublesome person.

Thus, Maki integrated all the rumors about this Earl, and after comparing and speculating, she finally concluded that this human, who was favored by the Demons and the Protoss, and had made a name for himself among the humans, was very likely to be more threatening than the kingdom's treasure.

Coupled with the power behind him that could not be ignored, Maki finally understood why even someone as noble as that Lord thought that this human would be a variable.

With him around, the things he planned to do might very well go wrong.

With him around, of what she planned to do, it was very likely that she would make a huge mistake.

Furthermore, Maki had already made contact with the elf called Merica.

Then, Maggie stayed here, waiting for the right time.

Who would have thought that Sean would be the first to find this place, and even show such ability?

He was indeed the son of the leader, and the smartest Apostle in the organization. The other two Apostles might be above that Lord in terms of strength, but in terms of brains and careful thinking, they were far inferior.

As expected of the son of the leader, and as expected of the smartest Apostle in the organization. The other two Apostles might be stronger than him in terms of strength, but in terms of brains and meticulous planning, the two of them were still far behind him.

As an Apostle, Maki listened to that Lord's orders. She belonged to that Lord's subordinates and directly listened to his orders.

Not to mention anything else, just the identity of that Lord was destined to be extraordinary.

Putting everything else aside, that lord's identity alone was destined to be extraordinary.

As for Shien.. Although the leader was an unreasonable person, and even if it was his own son, he would not hesitate to abandon him if he was useless, Maki believed that with the means of that Lord, sooner or later, he would inherit the position of leader, and even complete that plan, becoming an existence that even the Six Great Demons and the Three Great Goddesses would not dare to underestimate.

As for Shien..

(Let me see what's so special about him.)

Maki licked her lips and smiled.

"Come down!"

The magic that was brewing was immediately released by Maki.

In the next second, a bolt of black lightning fell from the sky, and blasted at Shien.

The lightning was so condensed that wherever it passed, the air would heat up from the friction and emit hot air.

This alone proved that the magic released by Maki was worlds apart from the magic released by that guy Beetho.

His strength was comparable to that of the most powerful human Magicians, and this was a testament to his strength.

But..

. "[Give. Dispel]."

Shien softly said the incantation of magic, and launched a powerful magic.

Mysterious ripples immediately spread out from Shien's body, and went through the black lightning that fell.

The moment the thick and solid pitch-black lightning came into contact with the ripples, they exploded into tiny arcs of lightning as if they had dispersed.

"Give Magic?"

Seeing this scene, Maki was stunned again.

How could this Earl of the kingdom know all these amazing magic?

The long-lost Celestial Magic reappeared in his hands, and the Give Magic, which was regarded as useless, was also used by him, and showed such a powerful effect. How could she not be surprised?

But after thinking about it carefully, Maki understood.

"With such a scale of magic, the Give Magic, which was regarded as useless by others, would indeed shine in his hands. Then, with the Give Magic, which could be said to be the most versatile, how could he not learn it?"

There was no doubt about Maki's ability as a mage. She immediately understood how difficult this magic would be in the hands of Shien.

If that was the case …

"[Multiple Obstruction Field]!"

Maki chanted such a magic.

It was a very strange magic.

Anyway, Shien felt that when this magic was used by Maki, the flow of magic seemed to become difficult, and it became very difficult to mobilize it, which made the efficiency of using magic very low.

It was obvious that this was a magic used to hinder the enemy from using magic. Just like the [Shadow Veil] and the [Lightning of the Curse], it was a magic of the Dark Magic System.

Maki did not seem to be affected by the magic, and she chanted another incantation.

"[Enmity Thunderstorm]!"

In an instant, the magic that surged out of Maki's body increased by a few times.

The magic fog lingered in the sky and condensed into a thundercloud, covering the ceiling of the cave.

Within the thundercloud, pitch-black lightning bolts were moving back and forth. There were many of them, and they were very thick and solid, far more than the [Lightning of the Curse].

"This is the highest level of Dark Magic that can only be used when the [Dark Magic] skill is upgraded to Level-9. It can be considered as the upgraded version of the [Lightning of the Curse]."

Maki raised an eyebrow at Shien.

"Let's try this, Count Potter Tut."

As she spoke, Maki raised her magic staff high and pointed it at Shien.

"Rumble …!"

Within the thundercloud in the sky, pitch-black bolts of lightning bolts shot out and turned into an overwhelming thunderstorm, engulfing Shien.

"…!"

Lide, who was lying on top of Shien's head, could not help but stand up and watch.

Obviously, even Lide couldn't ignore the thunderstorm.

At the very least, in her current state, this thunderstorm was a threat to her.

Feeling the threat, Lide's eyes flashed with a sharp glint, and an extremely fierce aura rose from her body.

That aura caused the heaven and earth to tremble. Maki's pupils shrank, and she finally showed a trace of fear.

But before Lide could unleash her anger, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her.

"Move aside."

Shien lifted the mysterious furry little beast, and before Lide could react, he threw her away without mercy.

"Bang!"

Lide slammed into the rock wall with a dumbfounded expression.

Even Maki's heart skipped a beat when she saw this scene.

This guy, he actually threw out the demon dwellers like trash?

Damn, he's a ruthless person.

Meanwhile, Ruthless Shien had already exposed himself to the dark thunderstorm and was attacked by it.

"Rumble — rumble — rumble — rumble — rumble — rumble —"

In the next moment, countless pitch-black thunderbolts struck Shien's body, shrouding him in pitch-black lightning bolts.

The ground was blasted open, and countless gravel flew up.

The atmosphere was evaporated, emitting endless heat.

Sand and dust filled the air, and the smoke and dust also shrouded Shien's location, but the pitch-black thunderbolts were still bombarding into the sand and dust, as if they were trying to kill Shien.

"Hehe."

Maki could not help but smile.

She felt that the outcome had been decided.

This was her signature move. Not only did it have astonishing destructive power, but every bolt of lightning also carried a deadly curse. Not to mention humans, even dragons, who were the kings of monsters, would die if they were struck by it.

In order to deal with this attack, the best way was to be like the Elven Legion and use an extremely powerful defensive magic to block the lightning, making it impossible for it to come into contact with it.

Otherwise, even if one could withstand the attack of the thunderbolts, the curse contained in the thunderbolts would instantly kill them.

"What a pity, Count Borztut. I was actually quite interested in you."

Maki muttered to herself.

"After all, I'm different from those pretentious elves. It's easy for me to fall in love with others, especially strong and young men. I like them the most."

The fact that Shien was acknowledged by that lord was enough to make Maki fall in love with him.

Unfortunately …

"The more I fall in love with a man, the more I want to kill him with my own hands. That way, I can experience both sadness and happiness at the same time, right?"

"Now, I am very sad, but also very happy."

"Thank you for bringing me happiness, mighty Count Borztut."

Maki laughed happily.

Her eyes were filled with pitch-black malice.
