It was already winter on the West Coast. As the sun set and the night arrived, the temperature dropped even more. The people walking on the streets tightened their clothes, put on thick scarves and gloves, and hurried back to their warm homes.
Though, the people at the West Coast pier were still busy.
The pier wasn't for the cargo ships and fishermen of Hologest Port but for the sightseeing travelers.
Many cars were waiting outside the pier and there were waiters with a respectful attitude.
Philly from the East Coast heaved a long breath of relief.
Truth be told, living on the sea for a long time made him feel extremely bored. Even though he was on a cruise ship, he was surrounded by a bunch of old-fashioned, strict people who kept an eye on him. From Philly's point of view, no matter how good the cruise ship was, it was no different from a prison.
"The West Coast eh?
It feels good to have my feet on the ground!
I wonder if there are any interesting places here that can relieve my boredom? "
Philly wrapped his trench coat tightly around himself as he asked the attendant next to the car.
"I'm sorry, sir, I'm just a driver."
The waiters explained politely.
"A driver?
A driver with a gun?
Seems like the collaborator those old-fashioned fellas found has quite the influence on the West Coast! "
Philly muttered softly.
Then, Philly, who had nothing to do, saw a man standing not far away from the convoy.
A young man with a black feather mantle and a big box in his hand.
The young man's weird outfit instantly caught Philly's attention.
He was sure the young man wasn't from the East Coast.
Although Philly didn't like or even hate those old-fashioned fellas, maybe it was because of his dislike that Philly could remember everyone on this trip.
On top of that, such a special outfit …
"A West Coast mystical individual?"
He tried his best to guess, then walked straight over.
"Hey buddy!
"Is there anything interesting here?"
You know what kind of place I'm talking about right? The kind where you can spend your money directly, with hot long legs and big boobs! "
Philly said.
Right away, Philly saw the frown on the young man's face.
It wasn't because of Philly's question or disgust, but it was an instinctive reaction after being interrupted.
Philly's interest was instantly piqued.
One had to know that such a person was rare.
Every time he used this opening line to ask a question, most of the mystics would try to avoid it. Those with a bad attitude would even curse at him.
"Are the West Coast mystics that interesting?
As Strenuous thought about it, Strenuous began to ask questions.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Or rather, what are you preparing to do?"
"Don't you know that it's very dangerous for you to appear here?"
The incessant chatter forced Kieran to turn his head and look at the man in front of him, who was wearing a trench coat and had a mustache. His hair was meticulously combed with hair wax.
Kieran's frown deepened.
They were from the East Coast.
Kieran was certain of this when he saw the man disembark from the cruise ship.
However, the other party displayed.
Hmm, his behavior was out of Kieran's expectations.
According to Simones, the mystical realm of the East Coast had not experienced the Blood Moon War, so not only had they preserved their traditions and inheritances, but they had also preserved their traditions perfectly.
Due to the ancient traditions, not all of the East Coast mystics followed the rules, but there shouldn't have been a person who asked for the location of a brothel.
"Hey, buddy!
I don't know what you're doing here, but I think it's time for you to leave. Those guys are different from me. They came here with the intention to cause a scene, so their tempers aren't that good.
If I were you, I'd leave the West Coast for a while.
You can go to some places in the countryside for a vacation.
Of course, I know it's tough in the countryside. There aren't any pretty girls around, and there aren't any places to spend your money, but it's better than losing your life, right? "
Philly said with a shrug.
Philly found Kieran to be a pleasant sight, so he didn't mind helping the young man before him.
After all, it would be too pitiful to lose his life at such a young age.
"I'm afraid he hasn't even tasted a woman yet."
While sizing up Kieran's seemingly mature but childish face, he tried his best to think about it.
However, Kieran stood there like a spear, not moving an inch, as if he had not heard Philly's advice.
Philly rolled his eyes at him.
"Stubborn people will always suffer!"
Philly mumbled as he prepared to go back the way he came.
He had done what he could.
However, Kieran had not listened to his advice, so what else could he do?
Was he going to force him?
One must know that what Philly hated the most was forcing others to do things.
Of course, more importantly, his companions had already started to gather, and he would definitely be punished if he still didn't show up.
The few old geezers leading the group wanted to destroy the order of the West Coast mystics while Kieran was away.
Anyone who delayed their plan would be punished.
Philly had suffered a few times in the past.
Although he was sure that the old geezers had done it on purpose to warn the others, it did not stop him from hating them even more.
He was even more obedient to their orders.
He did not want to suffer anymore.
Philly hastened his steps as he thought about it.
The next moment, he was sent flying in mid-air.
A scorching heat wave with an irresistible force struck him from behind. Philly did not even have a chance to resist before he was sent flying.
In mid-air, Philly's eyes widened in shock as he looked behind him.
Oh my God!
What did he just see?
A pair of wings made of flames, a body made of lava that was three to four meters tall, and a horn as sharp as a sword. It spiraled upwards, as if it was going to pierce through the heavens.
The devil!
How could there be a devil on the West Coast?
Shock accompanied by questions kept appearing in Philly's heart.
The same question also appeared in the minds of the East Coast mystics who had come to the West Coast.
Soon, though, they could no longer think about it.
This was because as the demon spread its ten-meter-long flame wings, extremely high-temperature flames swept out like a shockwave.
Some of the East Coast mystics did not even have time to react before they were burned into charred corpses by the flames.
The stench of burnt corpses, mixed with a sulfuric smell, started to spread throughout the dock.
Then, the mysterious runes on the pair of blazing wings lit up once again.
"Construct a fire barrier!"
One of the leaders of the East Coast team yelled.
A small round shield appeared in his hand. It glowed brightly, and a layer of defensive power appeared on the bodies of all the East Coast mystics.
But when the blazing shockwave collided with it, the dazzling light immediately dimmed, and then it shattered.
Crack!
The leader of the East Coast mystics was sent flying as if he had been hit by a truck, falling into the crowd.
However, the crowd did not have time to care.
A dark red greatsword appeared in the devil's left hand. For the devil, who was three to four meters tall, the greatsword was like a small one-handed sword.
However, when it swept across the area where the East Coast mystics were gathered, the long, wide, and sharp blade immediately turned into the scythe of the Grim Reaper, reaping every life in sight.
A bewitching red light bloomed on the Arrogant Word.
The untamed aura and the chaotic, arrogant aura of the devil's body fused together in a strange way.
The devil turned into a hurricane of killing intent, sweeping through the crowd.
The East Coast mystics would not sit still and wait for their deaths.
They felt a piercing pain all over their bodies. The murderous intent crushed their souls. They were determined to perish together with the devil, so they took out their trump cards.
A series of incantations echoed throughout the dock.
One figure after another charged towards the Evil Demon, howling madly.
The latter was just to buy time for the former.
They attacked with the determination to die.
However, the weapons in his hands that could cut through gold and jade and had all sorts of miraculous effects were so weak and powerless against the demon's body.
They did not have any effect at all.
Still, it was enough.
The incantations came to an end.
The cold light of the moon in winter was covered by the snow.
A huge dark cloud appeared out of nowhere.
Lightning danced like a silver snake.
Thunder boomed, shaking the sky.
Then, three lightning bolts as thick as water buckets struck down from the sky and landed heavily on the demon's body.
Then …
The East Coast mystics were in despair.
The devil was unscathed.
"It's over!"
Rosland sighed softly as he watched the scene at the dock through the crystal ball.
His aged face was filled with both emotion and joy.
He was exclaiming at the power of the Bird of Death.
He was happy that he had bet on the right treasure.
Rosland unconsciously looked at his granddaughter who was stunned by the scene before her eyes.
"Do you understand?"
Rosland asked.
"H-How did he …"
Tally pointed at the devil's figure that was wreaking havoc in the crowd.
She never would have thought that Kieran could transform into a devil.
It was unbelievable.
"You knew all along?"
Tally looked at her grandfather and asked.
"No."
Rosland shook his head.
"Then what about you?"
Tally's eyes were filled with confusion.
She could tell that her grandfather was not lying to her.
The more she thought about it, the more she did not understand why her grandfather would make such a decision.
"Because I believe in the God of Earth!
I believe in His Majesty's prophecy! "
As the old man spoke, he once again bowed towards the void.
Tally didn't laugh at the old man's actions like she usually did. She quietly looked at the scene of slaughter reflected in the crystal ball.
She did not say anything for a long time.
The first day was even longer.
It was the last day of the month. Let's see if there are any tickets in the warehouse.
