Chapter 870

While he was fooling around with Rosie, Shien activated his [External Destiny] and scanned the area below.

Shien sensed that there was not a single demon left in this area that had been razed to the ground, let alone a human.

Originally, there were many signs of monsters and life here, and there were even quite a few signs of malice and hostility.

Without a doubt, those reactions were all from the Old Demons that were hiding here.

Now, they had all become insignificant fertilizers in this ruin in the meteor shower just now.

Except for one person.

"There really was a fish that escaped the net?"

Shien said with a smile.

Rosie rolled her eyes, and Lilith tilted her head, not knowing what was going on.

"Let's go."

Shien didn't explain. He took Rosie and Lilith's hands and teleported into the ruins.

He arrived at a sea of blood and corpses.

It was indeed a sea of blood and corpses.

However, it was not a sea of blood and corpses for humans, but a sea of blood and corpses for demons.

Countless demons seemed to have been flattened, either into meat paste or with broken bodies. They were all over the ground, and the ground was covered in blood.

"Cough, cough …"

In such a sea of blood and corpses, a male Demons pushed away the corpse of a demon that was on top of him while lying on the ground, coughing non-stop.

He didn't notice Shien's arrival.

Shien looked at this male Demons with interest and suddenly said.

"I see. You used the large demon in your body as a shield, and you hid under the body of the demon to escape. It seems like you are the leader of the Lair of Beasts, the legendary master named Burke, right?"

Shien's sudden greeting made the male Demons stiffen, and he suddenly raised his head and looked over.

Taking a closer look, even though the other party had managed to escape the calamity, he was in a sorry state. Not only was he covered in dust and mud, but his face was also covered in dirt. There was even a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. This proved that the meteor shower had not left him unscathed.

However, his injury was obviously not serious. The moment he saw Shien, he still had the strength to release his magic energy and blow away the broken limbs of the demons around him.

"Who are you …!?"

Burke asked in a stern voice.

In fact, he wanted to ask if the meteor shower was caused by Shien.

As for Shien's identity, Burke had already guessed it.

The reason was simple. Even though Shien could completely control the holy power of the Holy Sword and make it less obvious, the appearance of the Holy Sword was still very conspicuous without being sealed. As long as one knew a thing, it was impossible for them not to guess about the golden sword hanging on Shien's waist.

Besides, Rosie and Lilith who were standing beside Shien were also very conspicuous.

One was as beautiful as a goddess.

The other was as cute as a doll.

In addition, Rosie also had a holy sword hanging on her waist, and Lilith could vaguely sense her aura. How could Burke not guess their identities?

At least, Burke could definitely guess Rosie's identity.

The most precious treasure of the kingdom, the first beauty of the human race, the descendant of Mithra, and the real princess — Rosie Lusti Mithra.

Compared to Shien, who had only appeared in the Omnippertansen for less than half a year, Rosie was undoubtedly more recognizable.

As far as Burke knew, there was only one young noble who could make the most precious treasure of the kingdom follow her obediently and hold her hand unscrupulously. There was also a young goddess by his side.

Therefore, when Burke questioned Rosie in a stern voice, the magic power surging out of Burke's body didn't stop at all, causing him to let out a real bestial roar.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

In the next second, several gigantic monsters suddenly crawled out of Burke's chest as if they had crawled out of an invisible portal and pounced at Shien.

Burke did not hesitate to release the monster in his body in order to gain the upper hand.

As the actual user of the [Beast Lair], there were naturally powerful monsters residing in Burke's body.

On top of that, Burke was different from other people who had lost their minds due to the infestation of monsters and became puppets that could be controlled by others. Burke could easily control the infested monster with [Hundred Beast Lair], unless the monster's level was higher than his.

In other words, as long as the monster's level was lower than Burke's, Burke could stuff them into his body at will and raise them, making them a part of him and under his control.

Burke could even extract the power of the monsters in his body to increase his own power, but the price was that the monster's power would be drained out of his body and could no longer survive.

Just now, Burke had released some of the monsters in his body and made them his meat shields, helping him withstand the ravages of the meteor shower.

Now, Burke released some of the monsters in his body again, and they pounced at Shien one after another.

As for Burke himself?

Of course, he ran away.

Without any hesitation, the leader of the [Nest of Beasts] gave up on those monsters and turned into a beam of light as he dashed in another direction.

Seeing this …

"Hey, you just questioned me, and you want to run away without getting the answer? That's not right, right?"

Shien appeared in front of Burke and blocked his way with a faint smile on his face.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The group of monsters that were pouncing on Sean noticed this and stopped on the spot. With a roar, they were ready to turn around and attack Sean to fight for a chance for their master to escape.

Unfortunately …

"Boom!"

A horrifying evil energy suddenly appeared like a bottomless abyss, and it instantly devoured those monsters.

Lilith made her move.

She stretched out a small palm and summoned an extremely dense Demonic Qi. The Demonic Qi rushed out wave after wave and instantly engulfed the group of devils that were pouncing over.

Those monsters roared in pain in the evil energy. Finally, their eyes turned red, and they completely turned into violent evil creatures.

Burke, who was running for his life, saw the whole scene.

Sure enough, she is …!?

Burke's heart trembled. He confirmed that he had encountered the most dangerous existence in history.

The strongest Evil God, Lilith.

She was on the same level as the Goddess of Justice, Artemis. She was a Transcendent Level Demon.

Such an existence was not something he could contend against at all.

He could only run!

He must run!

If he couldn't escape, he would die!

"Get out of my way!"

At that moment, Burke roared angrily, and an incomparably terrifying power exploded from his body.

"Boom!"

A shocking amount of demonic energy exploded from his body and turned into a storm that swept across the entire area.

It was a power that exceeded his level.

It was a power that a mere Legendary Level couldn't display.

Bestial howls rang out from within Burke's body, telling everyone just how much pain the monsters in his body were in.

At this moment, Burke used the ability of [Beast Lair] to extract the power of the monsters in his body, allowing him to explode with shocking strength.

After all, many of the monsters in his body were at the Legendary-level.

As someone who had a unique skill like [Beast Lair], how could Burke not take some of the powerful monsters that the old demons sent out to capture? How could he not take some of them to make himself more powerful?

Sean also sensed the familiar evil magic power from Burke at this moment.

That is …

"The demonic energy of the young demon?"

It was the young demon that had gone missing in the imperial capital and had most likely been captured by the old demons.

Burke stuffed 11 Legendary demonkin larvae into his body and used the [Lair of Beasts] to extract their power, allowing his power to increase endlessly.

The combined power of 11 Legendary-level young demons was extracted by Burke, causing his power to surpass the Legendary-level and even the Ultimate Level. He had vaguely shaken the barrier that should not have been crossed by human beings.

"Crackle! Crackle!"

A shocking amount of power exploded from Burke's body at once, causing his body to be unable to withstand such a shocking power, and his muscles started to crack layer by layer.

"Gaaaah!"

Burke gave it his all, and with a cry that didn't sound like an intelligent being, he charged at Shien with great power.

For a moment, the atmosphere was shaken.

For a moment, the ground was shaking.

Shien looked at the male Demons who roared and pounced at him, and his eyes were filled with the desire to survive. The faint smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"… Are you giving it your all?" Shien murmured, "If that's the case, I won't laugh at you. I'll give you some face."

With that said, a brilliant flame slowly burned on Shien's body.

Facing the male Demons who gave it his all just to survive, Shien also gave him the respect he could.

"Let's burn magnificently — Samsara Destiny."

With the continuous burning of the demonic energy, Shien's power skyrocketed like Burke's.

No.

The speed at which Shien's power skyrocketed had far surpassed Burke's.

Then …

"Bang!"

A loud boom resounded in the ruins.

Burke's expression froze.

Shien's expression was calm.

The two of them had already come into contact with each other. In the previous second, they had punched each other with all their strength.

With this punch, both sides hit each other.

However, when Burke's fist landed on Sean's chest, it was only left with less than 10% of its power after going through the obstruction of the dazzling flames. It was completely withstood by Rito's Mandate, and it did not cause any damage to Sean at all.

On the other hand, Shien's fist landed heavily on Burke's abdomen, bursting out a shocking force that blasted all the flesh and blood away.

"Drip …"

Blood kept dripping down from the giant hole in Burke's abdomen.

"Ugh … Ah …"

Burke covered his abdomen and stepped back as if he was struck by lightning, pointing at Shien with his blood-stained finger.

"You … You …"

Burke wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

Shien didn't have the intention to reply. He indifferently withdrew the brilliant flame and canceled the use of [Samsara Destiny].

Not long after, Burke fell to the ground, staining the ground red.

However, his eyes were still on Shien, as if he wanted to remember him.

Of course, Burke's vision was blurry.

He couldn't see Shien's face anymore.

Hate?

That was for sure.

Because his ambition, his ambition, and everything that he had once dreamed of had been completely reduced to nothing by his opponent's punch.

But amidst his hatred, Burke also felt a little relieved.

He had no choice.

(This is what a brave man is …)

With such a sigh, Burke's consciousness sank into eternal darkness.

He would never wake up again.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

When Burke died, his body swelled up like a balloon, and he let out a ferocious bestial roar.

The monsters seemed to be struggling, drilling through Burke's flesh and getting ready to break out of his body.

Among them were the 11 Legendary-level young Devildwellers.

However, under Burke's [Lair of Beasts], their power had dropped below the Legendary Level.

Sean looked at the scene calmly, and after a while, he chanted a line.

"[Give and Burn]."

Burke's corpse was suddenly engulfed in a blazing flame.

"Roar …"

"Quack …"

The monsters wailed, struggled, roared, and screamed in the fire, but they were slowly burned to ashes along with Burke's body.

After more than a month, the 11 Legendary Level Demon Dwellers died in Shien's hands.

Shien stood in front of the fire and watched it all with an emotionless expression.

Rosie and Lilith returned to his side.

"Now, all the old Demons, including the [Lair of Beasts], have been eliminated."

Rosie sighed.

"How's the situation in the capital?"

Shien nodded. He didn't want to dwell on this topic and asked directly.

"With father's arrangement, those low-level [Lair of Beasts] won't be able to do anything, not to mention those old Demons who didn't even get into the capital. I'm afraid they've all been captured, right?"

Rosie said, but her tone wasn't relaxed.

"What?" Shien asked in confusion, "Isn't this good?"

Although he said that, Shien's tone wasn't very good either.

The reason was simple.

"I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this."

Rosie looked worried.

"…"

Shien didn't say anything.

Because, just like Rosie, for some unknown reason, a heavy feeling gradually appeared in his heart.

This feeling, this omen, was something that Shien couldn't ignore.

"Let's go," Shien said decisively, "Let's go back."

As soon as he said that, a laugh immediately responded to Shien's words.

"That won't do, my hero."
