The night was windy and the waves were fierce.
Amidst the rumbling sea, the giant battleship was moving like it was on flat land. The cannoneers inside the turrets accurately hit their target again and again.
Amidst the relentless bombardment, the target island had completely vanished from sight.
Barry squinted his eyes at the island that was blanketed by the cannoneers. He didn't even give the order to cease fire.
He was waiting.
One needed to know from the start, he didn't even put the island in his eyes.
Smulder!
The only Holy Knight left in the world was the target he wanted to eliminate.
Roar!!!
A terrifying roar suddenly came from the small island.
The rampant aura swept across the whole island and headed towards the sea.
The soldiers operating the turrets were stunned on the spot. An unknown sense of panic overwhelmed them and if they weren't for their training, they would have run away in panic.
However, standing where they were was already their limit. It was completely impossible for them to do anything else.
Not to mention operating the turrets.
The bombardment stopped.
The thick smoke and fire quieted down as well.
From the clamor to the silence, the world felt like it was frozen.
But Barry laughed.
"Finally couldn't hold it in anymore?"
The general waved his hand.
The alchemy warriors who had been preparing for a long time came up to the deck in the elevator.
Every one of them was strong and muscular with a cold expression. They were equipped with the most advanced weapons and stood behind Barry like spears.
However, the most eye-catching thing was the three boxes that the alchemy warriors carried out and placed on the deck.
There were two small boxes and one big box.
The small one was the size of a car.
The big one was the size of a house.
"Go!
This will be the first battle you will see the light of day again and it will also be the battle that will make you famous!
The annihilation of the Sanctuary will be your greatest achievement! "
Barry said loudly. One after another, the alchemy warriors strode forward and jumped into the sea without riding a speedboat or any other transportation.
Amidst the endless sounds of people jumping into the water, Barry looked at the small island again.
"Come on Smulder, haven't you been looking forward to this battle for a long time?
Weren't you jealous of the God of Earth's achievement in annihilating the East Coast mystical realm's invasion?
"Now that I've set up a stage for you, don't disappoint me!"
Barry stood in the middle of the three boxes. The more he spoke, the happier he became.
Finally, a burst of uncontrollable laughter rang out on the deck.
Naturally, Barry had a reason to be proud.
Just as Kieran expected, Smulder was blocking the path of the alchemy warriors.
However, Smulder's rough face was filled with confusion at the moment.
Compared to Barry, Smulder could clearly sense the sulfuric smell hidden deep within the rampant aura that flashed by and he was very familiar with the aura.
2567！
Nikorei's assistant.
However, according to his plan, the most 2567 could do was to escape from that place.
To unleash such an aura …
"He broke through in the midst of the danger of the Sanctuary Force?"
"Not bad!"
"Nikorei has once again proven to me that her foresight is as sharp as ever!"
"But that's the only way it'll be interesting!"
"A group of alchemy warriors, a demon descendant, and a Templar Grand Deacon … They are barely enough to be my opponents!"
Smulder mumbled to himself, his eyes glowing brightly.
…
Kieran had no idea what was going on in the outside world.
All he knew was that he was Kieran.
He wasn't a demon.
The devil transformation before him was just a part of [Fusion Heart]'s abilities.
It wasn't Kieran himself.
Kieran kept reminding himself as if he was chanting a spell.
However, even though his mind was clear, he couldn't expel the illusions before him.
He felt like he was in the real world.
He had transformed into the demon.
He felt the demon's emotions.
He felt the demon's battle techniques.
One year.
Two years.
Three years.
…
Time passed in a blink of an eye, yet it felt extremely long.
It was so long that Kieran almost forgot the reminders he muttered to himself.
Countless battles of life and death.
It allowed him to get used to the body in front of him.
It allowed him to familiarize himself with the battle techniques of the body in front of him.
It also allowed him to familiarize himself with the battle techniques of the body in front of him.
Nonstop fighting!
Fighting was the meaning of life!
This time, his body instinctively grabbed the white spot without a second thought.
This time, his body instinctively grabbed the white spot without a second thought.
Pain.
The pain that he hadn't felt for a long time appeared in Kieran's mind.
He looked down at the blood-stained diamond in his hand and was stunned.
The memories that he had forgotten gushed out like the rising tide.
"I … I …"
The murmurs sounded again.
The giant demon's body froze on the spot.
He swung his sharp claws and plunged them into the magma's chest, tearing his own body apart. Kieran's human form fell out of the magma's body.
The illusions around him started to shatter.
When he came back to his senses, he found that he was lying on the ground in the passageway.
Schmidt was squatting down in front of him, looking at him worriedly.
"How are you?"
Schmidt asked.
"…"
The moment Kieran opened his mouth, he realized he couldn't utter a single word.
On top of that, he felt like there was a piece of burning charcoal stuck in his throat, burning and hurting him.
Out of instinct, Kieran raised his hand and wanted to write something with his finger for Schmidt to see.
At this moment, he realized that he was holding a round diamond that had long lost its luster and was stained with blood.

…
"Extra special evolution?
There's even Saint Thorns? "
Kieran unconsciously looked at the [Sanctuary Star] in his hand when he saw the notifications.
Kieran felt a lingering fear when he thought about the strange experience he had gone through.
Although he didn't know why the [Sanctuary Star] would complete the so-called extra special evolution, if he was really transformed into a puppet of flesh and blood, his life would be worse than death.
As the thought came to his mind, Kieran took a deep breath and looked at Schmidt.
"T-Thank you!"
Kieran endured the pain and expressed his gratitude to Schmidt.
It was Schmidt who got his hands on the [Sanctuary Star], that was an undeniable fact.
Kieran had to thank Kieran for saving his life.
"Do we even need to say such things between us?
But this thing is really weird. I tried to pry it open with my dagger, shot it at close range with my pistol, and even exploded the grenade but when I angrily punched it, it fell right off! "
Schmidt waved his hand without being concerned.
Kieran's sharp senses saw the bloody mess on Schmidt's palm.
It was obvious that Schmidt's casual punch was definitely not as easy as he had said it to be.
"How are you now?
You looked really scary just now, your whole body was covered in a dark red aura. I couldn't even get close to you but the gemstone flew straight towards you! "
Schmidt quickly changed the topic when he noticed Kieran's gaze.
"It flew straight towards me?"
Kieran was stunned.
Even though he knew the Extra Special Evolution had its own secrets, the initiative …
Kieran lowered his head and looked at the [Sanctuary Star] in his hand again.
He knew there must be some secrets hidden within.
However, the place before him wasn't a good place to ponder.
Kieran temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his heart.
Kieran signaled Schmidt.
Both of them quickly ran towards the exit.
Before they even got close to the exit, the explosions and the smell of gunpowder entered Kieran and Schmidt's noses through the sea breeze.
When the two of them reached the platform at the exit, Schmidt sucked in a breath of cold air.
The platform was located at the waist of the only mountain on the island.
Standing there, one could easily see what was happening on the surface of the sea.
Ten gigantic battleships.
Hundreds of cannons firing their cannons.
It was very clear under the night sky.
Especially when the cannonball smashed into the small island and exploded with a translucent force field shield, everything was illuminated even more brightly.
"This! This! "
Schmidt did not know what to say.
Kieran's face looked even weirder.
[Triggered special event!]
[Player will be automatically assigned to the Extra Faction!]
[You will not belong to the General or Smulder's faction. The effect you cause to the General or Smulder's main camp will be the standard of your rating!]
[Note: Effect includes but is not limited to destruction. The greater the effect, the higher the rating!]
[Enter the Extra Faction? Yes/No]
...
Looking at the notification, Kieran took a deep breath and made a decision without a second thought.
Then, he said to Schmidt.
"Schmidt, go back to your room and wait for me!"
"What about you?"
Schmidt nodded and asked.
"Of course I'm going to wreak havoc!
I've been holding it in for a long time! "
Kieran said slowly.
Before this, because of all sorts of restrictions, Kieran had been holding it in but now that the opportunity had presented itself, how could he hold it in?
Kieran never thought of himself as a broad-minded person.
So, although he acknowledged a gentleman's revenge was never too late.
However, he preferred to exact his revenge from morning till night.
What if it was overnight?
He would have to add interest.
