Just as Limo and Liyu were engaging in battle with Luca, in the far north...

Boom boom!!

The deafening explosion suddenly shattered the tranquility of the Night Wishes City, and a terrifying aura abruptly spread out in all directions with the lord’s castle as the center! The powerful aura, accompanied by a frightening shockwave, swept through the entire Night Wishes City, leaving a trail of devastation wherever it passed.

The houses near the castle collapsed on a large scale, turning into a pile of ruins.

Countless residents were buried alive under the suddenly collapsed houses before they could even react.

Many people on the streets, although not buried by the rubble, were hit by the strong soul impact brought by the shockwave without reservation. In an instant, the residents with insufficient soul power directly bled from their seven orifices and fell unconscious. Even those with some strength were pressed to their knees by this aura, unable to move.

In an instant, the main city of the Night Wishes, which had just been peaceful and harmonious, was immediately shrouded in fear and unease.

"What happened?!"

All the residents’ hearts unanimously asked this question and turned their gazes towards the lord’s castle, trying to figure out what exactly had happened.

Then, the residents saw an unbelievable scene beyond their imagination. Accompanied by the blooming of a crimson light, the upper level of the castle was suddenly blown out, leaving a huge gap! Then, under the dumbfounded gazes of everyone, two figures suddenly soared into the air and fiercely clashed in the sky.

One of them, a red-haired man wearing the traditional long robe of the Church Nation’s high-ranking officials, was none other than Scarlet, one of the Church Wings who had come to the Night Wishes City as an envoy. The other, a girl with beautiful pink hair and unique heterochromatic eyes, was none other than Miss Yuan’er, who had just completed her engagement and was well-known throughout the Night Wishes City.

As for why these two suddenly clashed, people were no longer concerned about it.

Because the moment the two figures rushed out of the castle, everyone’s eyes and attention almost unanimously gathered on the pink-haired girl. Seeing the black aura surging around the girl and feeling the nauseating aura coming from that black aura, everyone’s expressions underwent an earth-shattering change.

They didn’t even have time to think about why the two started fighting. There was only one question left in their minds:

--"Shadow Power?! Miss Yuan’er is... is an Abyssal demon?!!!"--

This intensity of aura?

And it’s a Demon King-level Abyss demon?!

Could it be that the reason why the Night Wishes City has been peaceful in recent years is because the ruler is a Demon King-level Abyss demon?! We... we are all humans raised by Abyssal demons?!!

What... what... what’s going on?!

In an instant, the atmosphere of panic began to spread at an unprecedented speed. Eyes filled with confusion, doubt, and anger were constantly cast towards Yuan’er. After a brief shock, some residents even cast supportive gazes towards Scarlet Crescent.

Not only that, after sensing that Yuan’er had released Shadow Power aura, the guards of the Night Wishes City also stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

This led to a very strange phenomenon.

Even though she was fighting on her home turf, Yuan’er didn’t receive any support. She could only fight against Scarlet alone.

Yuan’er had somewhat anticipated this situation.

The hostility of the human populace towards Abyssal demons was deeply rooted. Trying to change this concept in just six short years might still be a bit of a pipe dream.

Rather, it was thanks to the people-friendly image she had cultivated over the years that the people and guards didn’t turn against her and help Scarlet attack her. That was already a blessing.

Now, the only ones who could help her were probably the few confidants who knew her identity and the people of the Black Rose family who were still stationed in the Night Wishes City.

Unfortunately, they were currently...

Glancing at the people of the Black Rose family who were surrounded by Church Nation guards and caught in a fierce battle inside the castle, Yuan’er couldn’t help but frown, her eyes filled with worry.

Damn it.

"If Grandpa woke up, we wouldn’t be in such a passive situation..."

--"Do you still have the mind to worry about others?"--

Almost the moment this cold male voice entered her ears, a white figure flashed behind Yuan’er, and countless sharp spikes formed from crimson holy magic energy rained down on Yuan’er’s back like a storm. Fortunately, Yuan’er turned her body into black mist in time, barely dodging Scarlet’s powerful strike.

"You bastard..."

Staring at Scarlet Crescent, who had spread his red energy wings and had a cold expression not far away, Yuan’er angrily clenched her fists.

Facing this culprit who had nearly killed her grandfather, the killing intent in Yuan’er’s heart was constantly overflowing.

The instinct of an Abyss demon urged Yuan’er to tear the enemy in front of her into pieces.

But reason kept pulling Yuan’er’s body back.

She was clear that the enemy in front of her was very strong... If she rashly attacked, it would be difficult to win. The most suitable method was to wait for reinforcements to arrive. This place was close to the Great Winter Forest. She had already summoned the Abyss demon horde. When the time came, she could use numbers to overwhelm him to death!

It’s just that when Scarlet Crescent first showed hostility, she had already summoned the Abyss demon horde! Why hadn’t they arrived yet?

"Are you waiting for your people’s reinforcements?"

As if guessing Yuan’er’s thoughts, Scarlet Crescent said indifferently.

"..."

"If you’re waiting for that group of Abyssal demons, don’t even think about it. They have already been intercepted by our Church Nation’s troops."

"Intercepted? What a joke..."

"It’s not a joke. You don’t really think that our Church Nation’s soldiers are still the same as before, allowing you Abyssal demons to slaughter them at will, right? We, who have received the goddess’s blessing, are already different from the past. Blocking those hundreds of thousands of Abyssal demons is not impossible."

"But you only have a few hundred people. Even if they all received blessings like you, it’s still impossible... Hmm? Could it be?!!"

In an instant, Yuan’er’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

Vaguely, the little one had already guessed the reason for the situation.

And Scarlet’s next words further confirmed her guess.

"Your guard commander, after learning about your Abyssal identity, agreed to lend us the teleportation magic formation of the Night Wishes City."

"That damn traitor..."

"Don’t say that. He was just following his own beliefs. Besides, weren’t you the one who deceived him first? A Demon King disguised as a noble lady."

"Tsk..."

"Hehe."

After seeing Yuan’er’s solemn expression, a pleased smile gradually appeared on Scarlet’s handsome face. The way he looked at Yuan’er was not like looking at an equally matched opponent, but more like looking at an easily obtainable prey.

"It’s useless even if you don’t accept it. At this point, you can only rely on yourself, Miss Yuan’er. I hope you can let me enjoy myself thoroughly~"

With that said, Scarlet slowly raised his hand and pointed at Yuan’er’s chest. Countless sharp crimson energy needles suddenly condensed in the air, passing by a few blood butterflies, and surrounded Yuan’er from all directions.

"By the way, let me ask you a question, Miss Yuan’er."

"Do Demon King still feel pain?"

"Why are you asking this?"

"Nothing. I just hope that when I pierce through you later, you won’t scream too miserably. I’m a bit soft-hearted."

As the words were spoken, a trace of morbid cruelty gradually appeared in Scarlet’s pleased smile.

At the same time, in the Imperial Capital - Wisteria.

When Pierre, who had returned from hunting, stepped into the palace, the scene before his eyes directly made his body tremble.

"What... what happened?!"

At this moment, in the vast square, the imperial guard troops that were originally guarding here had disappeared without a trace. Instead, there were countless neatly cut limbs and flesh. Blood had dyed the pure white square a crimson color, and the thick smell of blood filled the air.

There was no doubt that the palace had been attacked.

To be able to defeat hundreds of imperial guards and break through the city’s defensive magic formation, the attacker’s strength was undoubtedly very powerful.

Realizing this point, unease instantly overflowed in Pierre’s eyes.

"AYA!"

The purple-haired maid, who felt a great sense of unease, directly threw away the box containing the criminal’s head in her hand and suddenly rushed towards the inner palace...

Damn it.

You stupid woman, please be safe!!
