The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated

Chapter 547: “I’m Going to Turn This Place Upside Down.”

“Whoosh—!”

A figure streaked across the sky above the Tegor Forest, creating a sonic boom that echoed through the trees.

This commotion naturally attracted the attention of some monsters.

Especially the flying monsters, who couldn’t tolerate such a blatant display of speed and arrogance.

“Screech!” A winged monster, resembling a pterodactyl, swooped down, its maw wide open, intending to devour this “insignificant” being. This monster was at least level seventy.

Unfortunately, it chose the wrong target.

“Clang—!” Just as the monster was about to strike, a cold sword light flashed, severing its neck.

“Swish!” With a tearing sound, the monster’s head flew into the air, blood spraying from its severed neck like a fountain. The headless corpse, along with its head, plummeted to the ground. The air filled with the stench of blood.

This scene terrified the other monsters that had been approaching, and they fled in panic.

The figure continued to fly forward without slowing down.

“Sigh…” Lid, on the figure’s head, sighed.

The figure was, of course, Shien.

He was flying at his fastest speed, not using teleportation, letting the wind rush past him.

He was venting his anger.

“You don’t need to be so angry.” Lid tried to persuade him. “That Apostle isn’t simple. She’s a Dark Elf, a high-level legendary archmage, and an Apostle of the [Original Demon]. She’s definitely cunning. Being able to force such a troublesome opponent to retreat at your age is already quite impressive.”

Lid was comforting Shien.

A Beast Demon comforting a human was surprising.

But this was Lid’s true thought. She was also worried that Shien might act impulsively.

“I understand,” Shien said impassively, “but I can’t tolerate this.”

Hearing this, Lid knew that Shien wouldn’t let this go.

“What are you going to do?” Lid asked.

“It’s simple.” Shien said calmly, “No matter what, I’m going to drag that disgusting Dark Elf out.”

And he had to do it now.

Shien wasn’t like those protagonists in novels who knew how to endure and wait.

Having been provoked like this, would he wait for the other party to prepare and come looking for him, then passively react and deal with them?

No, Shien couldn’t tolerate it, and he wouldn’t wait.

Did she think she could escape?

That wouldn’t work with Shien.

“Don’t be reckless.” Lid said worriedly, “That woman is someone even Nadue, the Goddess of Nature, had to search for painstakingly to find a trace of. How are you going to find her immediately?”

Even the Goddess of Nature had to work hard to find her. Lid didn’t know how Shien planned to do it.

However, Shien did have a way.

“Isn’t her target me? Isn’t it the Elven Homeland?” Shien said coldly, “In that case, it means she’s still in this Tegor Forest, right?”

Lid was stunned, then her expression changed.

“You’re not planning to attack the Tegor Forest, are you?”

Lid stood up from her prone position.

If Shien really planned to do that, she had to stop him.

“Is it worth sacrificing the entire Tegor Forest just to find a single Dark Elf?” Lid said sternly, “Stop it. If I could do that, I wouldn’t have let that Dark Elf escape.”

Indeed, if it weren’t for her concern for the Tegor Forest, for the countless lives within, Lid would have definitely made that Dark Elf pay.

If Lid hadn’t held back, Machi wouldn’t have been able to escape. With a single thought, Lid could have obliterated her along with the Tegor Forest.

And now, Shien was planning to do this?

She had to stop him!

But Lid was wrong.

“Don’t worry, it won’t come to that.” Shien said indifferently, “However, this Tegor Forest won’t be peaceful today.”

Saying so, Shien teleported and vanished.

Lid wanted to say something, but her words were lost in the teleportation.

Shien returned to the Elven Homeland at his fastest speed.

He only had one thought: to tear that Dark Elf to pieces.

…

At the same time, in the Elven Homeland.

Lucy and the others finally returned to the treehouse.

They didn’t see Shien or Lid, which was strange, but they didn’t think much of it.

Those two, nothing could possibly happen to them, right?

With this thought, Lucy and the others sat down in the living room and chatted, sharing what they had seen and heard today.

Specifically, they were discussing Melika becoming the blessed one of the Goddess of Nature, and how the elves’ attitude towards Shien had improved because of this.

Even Airi, who had woken up, listened to Lucy talk about this, rubbing her eyes, a little stunned.

“So, that little elf girl was chosen by Nadue?” Airi curled her lip. “No wonder that peeping Tom goddess appeared yesterday. It seems she had a plan all along.”

These words were quite harsh.

“I didn’t expect Goddess Nadue to choose Melika either.” Lucy said, sighing, “Vivian and Diere will probably be happy about this.”

Having an elf magician in their squad who was blessed by one of the Three Goddesses was a big deal, not just for adventurers, but even for a nation or a race.

The elven race was currently ecstatic, completely different from their usual tranquility.

Airi, however, seemed indifferent.

A blessed one wasn’t worth her attention. The Dragon Demon glanced at Lucy and said with a smirk, “Are you feeling pressured?”

“Pressured?” Lucy feigned ignorance. “Why would I be pressured?”

“After that little elf returns, she will be like you, a blessed one of the Three Goddesses, her status comparable to yours.” Airi said, almost goading her, “Aren’t you worried about losing his favor?”

To be honest, Lucy wasn’t worried.

Although she seemed a bit insecure when talking about marriage, she knew that Shien was just teasing her.

That guy might be a playboy, but he wouldn’t abandon her.

He had said,

“Have you ever seen a protagonist abandon his partner?”

Few could understand these words.

Lucy also didn’t understand, unable to keep up with Shien’s train of thought.

She had only heard Shien mutter things like “I don’t want to be ‘NTR’d’ (cuckolded),” “Perhaps that guy is a role model, but definitely not someone to follow,” and “Doing that kind of thing will be criticized by the keyboard warriors.” The general meaning was that he wouldn’t, and didn’t dare to, do such a thing.

Therefore, unless she angered him, Lucy felt that her position as the official wife was secure.

Besides, with Melika’s personality, she definitely wouldn’t compete or cause trouble.

Lucy felt at ease facing such a soft girl, not worried about losing favor at all.

Compared to Melika, Lucy was actually more worried about this sharp-tongued Dragon Demon Princess before her…

She was the true rival!

Therefore, Lucy smiled and didn’t say anything, making Airi feel bored.

Just then, Lilith, who was playing with Millu, suddenly looked up from Lasha’s arms and looked out the window.

Her expression was filled with a hint of anger.

Lilith’s unusual behavior immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

“Miss Lilith?”

Lasha called out to Lilith, but didn’t receive a response.

“?”

Millu tilted her head, confused.

Airi and Lucy were stunned, then as if sensing something, they also turned and looked out the window.

“Swish!”

With a whooshing sound, Shien finally returned to the tree house, appearing in the living room.

He was near the window.

“Shi…”

Lucy subconsciously wanted to speak, but Airi stopped her.

Airi stared intently at Shien, her eyes narrowed.

“Lid!”

Millu, not noticing anything unusual, rushed over happily.

But before she could reach him, Shien grabbed Lid from his head and tossed the helpless little beast into Millu’s arms.

His silent demeanor instantly stunned everyone present.

Including Lasha.

Including Lucy.

And also Airi.

After a moment of silence, Airi spoke coldly,

“Who angered you?” Airi said with an impassive face, “Tell me, and I’ll help you vent your anger.”

These words made the atmosphere tremble, filled with a terrifying pressure.

Undoubtedly, the Dragon Demon was angry.

Of course, Airi wasn’t the only one angry.

Lilith came to Shien, raised her head, and stared at him intently.

Her eyes swirled with evil aura, like raging flames.

Shien remained silent, reaching out and patting Lilith’s head.

Then…

“Fill the entire Tegor Forest with your evil aura.”

Shien said these shocking words in the most indifferent tone.

“Today, I’m going to turn this place upside down.”

These words shook everyone’s hearts.

Lid opened her mouth, then closed it helplessly.

Lilith nodded without hesitation.

Airi’s expression remained impassive, but her eyes grew colder.

Millu seemed to realize something and became excited.

Only Lucy and Lasha exchanged glances.

They realized.

Today, something big was going to happen.
