The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated

Chapter 506: A Bloody Magical Feast

Shien ended up going with Lid and Millu.

Although being forced into this made Shien a little unhappy, he agreed with dealing with the Old Demon Faction and the Demonized Beings.

Even though the Demonic Refining Ritual had been disrupted, and the remaining Demonized Beings couldn’t devour others to gain strength, they were still valuable to the [Original Demon].

Therefore, Shien and the others had reason to eliminate these monsters.

Of course, trying to find a few remaining Demonized Beings in such a vast forest was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Under such circumstances, besides Nadue, who could monitor the entire Tegor Forest, probably no one could accurately pinpoint the locations of all the lurking Demonized Beings.

Fortunately, there was a method.

“Demonized Beings are products of the magic ritual, having lost their sanity and only madness remaining.” Lid explained, “They only have one instinct: to continuously attack others and devour their flesh and magic power to gain strength.”

Even though the ritual itself had disappeared, this instinct would still remain within the Demonized Beings.

“Therefore, they will instinctively attack individuals with abundant magic power and life force. As long as you release your magic power, the Demonized Beings in the surrounding area will definitely be attracted to you.”

Lid had been using this method to clear the Demonized Beings in the Tegor Forest. This was also the reason why Millu was constantly emitting a large amount of magic power.

Knowing this, Shien unhesitatingly unleashed his magic power.

“Boom!”

With a sound like a volcanic eruption, terrifying magic power surged from Shien’s body, forming a massive pillar of energy that soared into the sky.

“Roar!”

“Awoo!”

“Groan!”

At this moment, countless monsters in the Tegor Forest were startled.

Some fled in terror, while others looked at the soaring pillar of energy with apprehension, choosing to retreat, countless birds and beasts stirring in the night and leaving the area.

“Roar!”

“Roar!”

Only a few grotesque monsters scattered in the forest, sensing the astonishing magic power, were stimulated and, instead of fleeing, charged towards Shien.

Lid and Millu watched this scene from close by, staring at Shien, whose body was burning with terrifying magic power, a pillar of energy rising from him and soaring into the sky. They were stunned.

“Such astonishing magic power?”

Lid was very surprised.

“So amazing!”

Millu’s eyes shone brightly.

Both of them were shocked by the terrifying magic power Shien unleashed so recklessly.

The fact that Shien, so young, possessed strength comparable to a legendary expert, was already surprising enough. Now, releasing such terrifying magic power, it was impossible for Lid and Millu not to be shocked.

“Amazing! Big brother is so amazing, Lid!”

Millu rubbed Lid’s head excitedly.

“Indeed.” Lid readily admitted, looking at Shien with flickering eyes, and murmured, “It seems he’s hiding quite a bit.”

A man favored by Airi was indeed extraordinary.

Lid realized that Shien might be hiding something.

“Here they come.”

At this moment, Shien, who was recklessly releasing his magic power as if it was worthless, said these words.

Lid and Millu then noticed figures silently emerging from the surrounding darkness.

“Roar!”

“Roar!”

The crazed Demonized Beings appeared before Shien and the others, roaring ferociously and staring at Shien as if he was a piece of meat.

Little did they know that Shien was looking at them as if they were piles of minced meat.

“Come.”

Shien beckoned to the surrounding Demonized Beings provocatively.

His arrogant demeanor enraged the Demonized Beings.

“Roar!”

“Roar!”

Countless Demonized Beings, like a pack of hunting wolves, lunged from the shadows.

It looked as if ghostly figures were rushing towards Shien at an astonishing speed.

To this…

“[Flying Star]!”

Shien chanted a short incantation, activating the magic he hadn’t used in a while.

Countless small meteors appeared around Shien, transforming into a meteor shower that bombarded the surroundings like a torrential downpour.

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” …

As the meteors struck the ghostly figures, the attacking Demonized Beings didn’t even have time to scream before they were sent flying.

Some crashed into trees, shattering their trunks, some rolled into the bushes, and some even smashed into the ground, sending dust and debris flying, creating chaos in the surroundings.

Seeing this power, no one would believe that the magic Shien used was merely meant to suppress enemies, its lethality almost nonexistent.

But in Shien’s hands, this magic, which had always been quite powerful, was now amplified by [Inner Perception of Heaven’s Decree]. Even though Shien deliberately reduced his magic power output, it still displayed power far greater than before.

Millu and Lid were surprised again.

“Stars?”

Millu blinked.

“Could that be Celestial Magic?”

Lid asked in surprise.

Shien ignored them. Seeing the Demonized Beings being blasted away by the meteors and falling to the ground, barely alive, he made an estimation.

“Although I reduced my magic power output to less than half of what it used to be, the magic’s power has actually increased. If I used the same amount of magic power as before, the power of this spell would be at least three times greater.”

Shien made this judgment based on the magic power he consumed and the power of the spell he cast.

And then…

“My progress in magic seems to be no less than my progress in close combat.”

Shien was satisfied with this.

“Roar!”

“Roar!”

As if angered by the smug smile that unconsciously appeared on Shien’s face, the Demonized Beings, who were barely alive, roared and struggled to get up.

Even with the increased power of the magic, using a non-lethal suppression spell, and a basic one at that, to kill these Demonized Beings was still a bit insufficient.

Since that was the case…

“Then I’ll give you a bloody magical feast.”

Shien vanished from the spot and appeared before a Demonized Being.

“Teleportation?”

Lid was surprised again.

“Ooh!”

Millu’s eyes also widened.

Shien, ignoring them, extended a finger and pressed it against the chest of the Demonized Being, who hadn’t reacted yet.

“[Bestow: Split].”

Magic power flowed from his fingertip, piercing the Demonized Being’s skin and entering its body.

“Swish!”

The next moment, with a tearing sound, the Demonized Being split apart, turning into chunks of flesh and blood that splattered across the ground.

And Shien had already vanished again, appearing before another Demonized Being, his finger pressing against it.

“[Bestow: Pulverize].”

Magic power surged from his fingertip, once again piercing the Demonized Being’s skin and entering its body.

“Crack, crack, crack…”

The Demonized Being’s cries stopped abruptly, its body trembling, then cracks appeared all over it, turning it into dust that scattered in the wind.

“Roar!”

A nearby Demonized Being, seeing this scene, wasn’t afraid, but roared and pounced on Shien, who had his back turned, unleashing a sharp claw strike.

Shien, as if he had eyes on his back, his figure blurred, dodged the attack, and appeared beneath the Demonized Being’s outstretched arm, closing in.

“[Bestow: Burst].”

Shien grabbed the Demonized Being’s arm with his hand.

Magic power surged from his hand, like a malignant growth, enveloping the Demonized Being.

“Bang!”

The Demonized Being couldn’t even resist before it exploded, turning into countless chunks of flesh that scattered in all directions.

Blood rained down, instantly vaporized by Shien’s magic power, not a single drop touching his body.

However, Shien was still holding the Demonized Being’s arm.

This gruesome scene finally stunned the surrounding Demonized Beings, making them freeze, not daring to move.

“Wow! Wow! Wow!”

Millu cheered, her eyes shining brightly.

“How bloody.” Lid clicked her tongue, a smile unconsciously appearing on her small, beastly face. She muttered, “But I like it.”

Shien, as if testing his magic abilities, used various lethal Bestowal Magic attributes, slaughtering the Demonized Beings one after another.

And the magic power he used was only a wisp at his fingertip, yet its power was terrifying.

Thanks to this, even among the crazed Demonized Beings, a few felt instinctive fear and turned to flee.

One of them, unfortunately, ran towards Millu and Lid.

“Roar!”

The Demonized Being roared, its fangs bared, and lunged at Millu and Lid.

“Millu.”

Lid, still on Millu’s head, didn’t move, just called out calmly.

“Hiya!”

Millu reacted, looking at the pouncing Demonized Being, not with fear, but with excitement.

“Whoosh!”

The Demonized Being’s fangs bit into Millu, but incredibly, they passed right through her small body.

At this moment, Millu turned around, extended a finger, and, like Shien, pressed it against the Demonized Being.

No, it wasn’t pressing, but poking.

Millu poked it hard.

“Bang!”

When her slender finger touched the Demonized Being’s back, with a terrifying burst of power, the monster exploded, turning into a bloody mist.
