Chapter 56

"I'm in trouble …"

That was the only thought in Shien's mind at this moment.

He had no choice.

Looking at the scene before him, Shien couldn't think of any other words to describe what he had done other than causing trouble.

The vast wilderness in front of Shien had changed drastically.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

It was the sound of countless gravel crashing to the ground.

"Phew …"

It was the sound of sand and dust dissipating in the air.

A huge slash mark was like a crack in the ground, splitting the wilderness as it continued to extend forward. Finally, it reached a mountain peak. At first glance, it looked like a bottomless cliff, making one's heart palpitate.

What was even more frightening was that at the end of the cliff-like fissure, the tall mountain peak seemed to have been split in half.

Moreover, the remaining mana was wreaking havoc in the surroundings like formless tornadoes. How could Shien not know what he had done?

"… As expected of a close-combat ultimate move. Its power is indeed extraordinary."

Shien gave a nonchalant and objective evaluation as though he was an expert in a wuxia novel.

That was if one ignored the cold sweat that flowed out of his forehead.

"Cough, cough …!"

At this moment, the sound of coughing came from the side, and it reminded Shien of something important.

"Tierre!"

Shien wasn't the only one here.

At that moment, Sean quickly turned his head and looked in the direction of the cough.

There, Tierre knelt on the ground on one knee and raised her hands in front of her as though she was blocking a storm a moment ago. Now, she was coughing nonstop and looked rather pathetic.

"Are … Are you alright?"

Sean hurriedly ran over. He wanted to help her, but he didn't know where to start. He looked extremely awkward.

"You …"

Tierre ignored Shien's awkwardness. She coughed and lifted her head to look at Shien.

Although Shien didn't see Tierre's expression under the hood, he inexplicably knew the expression in her eyes.

His gaze was as if he was looking at a monster.

"I … I didn't do it on purpose!" Shien defended himself with an extremely unnatural expression. "I didn't know it would turn out like this. Besides, I did everything according to what you taught me!"

As he spoke, Sean subconsciously raised the broadsword in his hand, as if he was a suspect who wanted to hand over the tools of the crime and clear himself of all charges.

Unfortunately …

Bam!

The broadsword that Shien raised was filled with cracks. Then, as though it couldn't hold on any longer, it shattered into pieces.

Moreover, the shards didn't fall to the ground.

This was because before they could touch the ground, they had already scattered like powder and were carried away by the wind.

"…"

"…"

Sean and Tierre were left speechless as they witnessed the scene with their own eyes.

Then, Tierre turned to Shien.

Sean didn't have to identify it to know that the look in Tierre's eyes was not only as if she was looking at a monster, but also as if she was looking at a human-shaped monster.

No, perhaps Tierre's gaze was more like she was looking at a new Demon King. That was for sure.

Shien's face turned red instantly.

He was holding it in.

After holding it in for a long time, Shien squeezed out a sentence.

"What should we do next?"

Shien seemed to have given up on defending himself.

Tierre could only continue to stare at Sean speechlessly. It was not until a while later that she looked at the seemingly bottomless cliff-like rift and the mountain that was divided into two halves on the distant horizon.

The scene reminded Tierre of the magical blade that fell like a heavenly pillar. Her heart skipped a beat.

"… Let's leave this place first."

Tierre tried her best not to let her voice tremble. She took a deep breath and spoke to Shien in a cold voice.

"With such a huge commotion, Lamageion must have noticed it already. We need to leave before the investigators arrive," said Vivian.

Upon hearing this, Sean hesitated.

"Is that okay?"

Shien's uneasy and guilty expression calmed Tierre down a little.

"You can stay if you want," Tierre said. Tierre said, "But in that case, when the investigators arrive, you will be taken away and interrogated, or even tortured. In the end, you may even be regarded as a spy of the Demon Race who deliberately sabotaged you. Will that be alright?"

Shien's spirits were lifted.

"Then let's go!"

Tierre's brows twitched when she heard Brendel's words.

But now wasn't the time for a leisurely conversation. Tierre suppressed the urge to say something and stood up.

But as soon as she stood up, her body tilted and fell to the side.

"Are … Are you okay?"

Shien quickly extended his hand and supported Tierre.

"I'm fine!"

Tierre's face blushed under the hood, causing her to glare at Shien fiercely. She seemed embarrassed.

After all, he was so scared that his legs turned to jelly and he couldn't even stand up. It was too embarrassing.

"Ugh …" Shien seemed to understand what was going on. He shrunk his head and said weakly, "I really didn't do it on purpose."

Tierre found it funny and infuriating at the same time when she saw Shien's aggrieved expression but didn't dare to say much.

After a moment of silence, Tierre spoke up.

"You'd better not mention what happened today to anyone," Tierre said. "You can't tell anyone, not even Vivian."

"Even Vivian can't do it?" Sean was stunned.

"That's for the best," Tierre said calmly. Tierre said faintly, "It's not that Vivian can't be trusted, but just in case, the fewer people know about this, the less trouble there will be."

"Okay," Shien thought for a while and nodded.

Shien was more than willing to save himself some trouble.

It wasn't a big deal anyway, was it?

It should be …

"Also." Tierre glanced at Shien, and for the first time, her voice sounded serious and serious. "Don't use the [Demon Sword] carelessly anymore from now on."

It was an important matter, and Tierre had to remind him.

Otherwise, what would the consequences be? The mere thought of it sent chills down Tierre's spine.

"I can't use it anymore?" Shien was a little distressed. "Is learning this skill for nothing?"

Then wouldn't everything he had done today be a complete waste of effort?

Tierre also frowned.

Tierre let out a long sigh.

"At least, before you can adjust the power at will, it's best not to use this skill in front of others," Tierre said. Then, as though she thought of something, she added, "Also, don't use it in a crowded place."

"Okay," Shien was relieved and nodded without further ado.

After that, the two of them hastened their steps and left the place as though they were escaping from a crime scene.

However, this earth-shattering scene was still left behind.

A few hundred years later, this place would still look the same, and it might even become a tourist attraction.
