Angle's Arrogance? My Pact with the Succubus Queen!-Chapter 249: Shadow Is So Angry She Broke Down!

Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Shadow Is So Angry She Broke Down!

Time passed slowly.

The roots of the Shadow Beings were burned into ash, one inch at a time. The runes on the surface of the black seed gradually faded, and finally went out completely.

When the last root was gone, Logan’s eyes flashed with golden light. He shouted: "Now!"

Logan didn’t just remove the Shadow Being — he followed the last bit of connection that hadn’t fully broken, and traced it backward!

Divine energy became a golden lightning bolt, traveling through an invisible path, crossing space, and striking straight into the Shadow Deep.

"Roar!"

In a dark abyss far to the north, a thunderous roar echoed.

Although Logan’s divine burning couldn’t hurt the thirty-sixstar Saint too much, it was enough to make her feel real pain.

And this attack completely cut off her connection with the Shadow Being inside Philip. From now on, General Philip would never be controlled by Shadow again.

Logan slowly came back to himself. General Philip’s body went limp, and he lost consciousness completely.

But at least he was still breathing, and his face was slowly turning back to normal. Everyone finally relaxed.

After this joint purification, all the Shadow Beings inside General Philip had been completely removed.

"We did it!" General Darwin sighed in relief, his eyes slightly wet.

Logan pulled his hand back. His forehead was covered in sweat. That attack, which reached across time and space, had taken a lot out of him. Even a 310-star Legend stage felt weak for a moment.

"Shadow is hurt, but this wound won’t last long," Logan turned to the group and said. "Before she recovers, we have to clear out all the Shadow Being puppets."

Holtcouncil’s voice shook as he asked: "How many of the Federation’s leaders have been infected?"

"Many," Logan said coldly. "But it doesn’t matter. We find them one by one, and kill them all."

He raised his wrist and activated the Supervisory Council Principal authority.

The hologram unfolded, and the Federation map appeared. The seven major cities were marked in red.

Logan continued giving orders: "From now on, the Supervisory Council, Judgement Tribunal, Military Committee, and the Senate will carry out a joint self-check and cleaning. The Ancestral Spirits will help identify those carrying Shadow Beings. Find one, arrest one. Those who resist... eliminate them on the spot."

The order was given, and the room went quiet. No one dared to oppose.

After seeing the terror of the Shadow consciousness with their own eyes, everyone understood—this wasn’t a power struggle. It was a battle for survival.

Either they cleaned out the Shadow Beings, or they waited for the Federation to fall.

"Move out!" Logan waved his hand.

Star Lake became busy in an instant.

The Supervisory Council agents all moved out. They worked with the Ancestral Spirits girl’s life sensing ability, scanning the soul states of every high-ranking official present.

The Judgement Tribunal knights blocked the exits, preventing anyone from escaping.

The Military Committee brought in nanorobot arrays to build a protective barrier.

The Senate handled political coordination and kept the different factions calm.

The first one found was a low-level cabinet official.

When the Ancestral Spirits girl looked at him, her green light suddenly became very bright.

"Shadow Beings reaction... confirmed," she said.

The official’s face turned pale. He turned to run.

But Natalia had been waiting for a long time. Hellweaver threads wrapped around him instantly, holding him tight.

"No... I’m not a puppet! I was forced!" he struggled wildly.

Logan walked up to him. His Divine Perception scanned him, and the black seed in his soul was clearly visible.

Logan coldly ordered: "Pull it out."

Golden Sacred Fire flared up, and the official let out a loud, painful scream.

A moment later, the Shadow Being turned to ash, and he fell to the ground, his eyes empty.

His soul was damaged, but at least he was still alive.

One, two, three... In just half an hour, twelve Shadow Being carriers had been found.

They had different positions—some were cabinet secretaries, others were court clerks, military logistics staff, and even a bodyguard of a Senate council member.

The cleanup swept through the Federation’s top leaders like a storm.

Panic started to spread, but no one dared to resist. Logan’s overwhelming power, plus the Ancestral Spirits girl’s accurate detection, left no one hidden.

Arthur looked at the list and frowned. "Logan, the Star Lake area is cleared. We found 17 Shadow Being carriers. All of them have had the Shadow Beings removed and are currently detained."

Logan nodded and gave the order: "Do the same in the other cities. I’ll have the Ancestral Spirits go with the agents."

"Okay, the Judgement Tribunal will help too," Arthur replied.

The order quickly went through an encrypted channel, spreading to the seven major cities.

Storm Wind City, Edo Castle, the Eastern Fortress, Temple City... All over the Federation, the self-check and cleaning started at the same time.

Shadow’s carefully built network of puppets was breaking down at an amazing speed.

At the same time, deep within the sealed Shadow Deep, Shadow’s true form let out an angry roar: "Logan, you’re dead!"

She felt thousands of Shadow Beings suddenly losing contact. Her puppet network had suffered a big loss.

What made her even angrier was that the pain from the divine burning hadn’t gone away. It still hurt her.

And this injury was caused by just a thirty-star Legend stage—Logan. That made her feel really embarrassed.

So Shadow shouted: "Logan! When I break free, I’ll rip your soul out and torture you for eternity!"

In the underground of Star Lake, the cleaning continued.

Logan stood in the center, with thirty star marks rotating slowly behind him.

He sensed that the Shadow Beings’ reactions across the Federation were slowly decreasing, but his mood wasn’t relieved.

This was just the beginning. The threat from Shadow was still there, never gone.

At that moment, General Darwin hurried over and reported: "Logan, Philip is awake."

Logan turned and walked toward the temporary medical area.

Philip was sitting on the bed, pale-faced but with clear eyes.

When he saw Logan, he tried to get up.

"Don’t move," Logan said, holding him down. "How do you feel?"

"Weak... but my mind is clear," General Philip said with a bitter smile. "That thing is finally gone."

Logan nodded. "The Shadow Beings have been removed, but your soul needs time to recover. You’ll stay here to rest for now."

"Okay." Philip paused, then said in a low voice: "Thanks, kid."

Logan didn’t answer, just patted his shoulder.

Some words don’t need to be said.

After leaving the medical area, Logan looked into the distance.

The sky was getting dark, and the surface of Star Lake shimmered with light.

"Give the order." Logan said in a low voice, but it echoed through the whole underground space. "All units, go to full combat readiness. Prepare for Shadow’s puppets to strike back."

The cleaning operation lasted for three full days.

In the seven major cities of the Federation, a total of 137 Shadow Being carriers were found.

Among them, 28 were cabinet officials, 41 were Judgement Tribunal members, 52 were military logistics staff, and 16 were related to the Senate.

These people were all caught on the spot by the Ancestral Spirits, and the Shadow Beings were removed. They were temporarily detained.

The puppet network was completely paralyzed, and Shadow’s infiltration plan suffered a big blow.

But Logan knew, this was just the surface.

The real trouble was the seven city administrators who had disappeared all at once.

Their Shadow Beings were of a higher level. They were likely the core puppets of Shadow.

Once fully controlled by Shadow, their fighting power would be far greater than ordinary carriers.

And more importantly, where had they gone?

In a separate closed room underground in Star Lake, Logan sat cross-legged in the center, eyes closed.

Behind him, the thirty star marks stood firm, slowly rotating, giving off a soft light.

Logan was fully focused on absorbing the remaining parts of Novan’s memories.

The baby’s feedback was too huge. The last time, he had only scanned the key parts.

Now that the cleaning was over, he finally had time to look deeper.

Memory fragments came like a flood. This time, it wasn’t battlefield scenes from thousands of years ago. It was research materials.

As a key puppet of Shadow, Novan had taken part in many secret magic studies of the Shadow tribe.

Among them was even the [Shadow Research] related to the Yepera bones.

"Ah, I see.." Logan slowly opened his eyes, a flash of understanding in his pupils. "No wonder the human Federation was able to seal such a powerful being."

By analyzing the latest memories of Novan, he finally pieced together the full picture.

Thousands of years ago, when the first chairman, second chairman, stupid god, and the pope of The Black Church joined forces to seal Shadow, they also used the power of the Demigod within the Yepera bones.

The rune arrays inside the Yepera bones had strong rule powers, even capable of resisting Shadow’s power source.

So, in a way, the Yepera bones were the real secret weapon of the human Federation — even more important than Sacred Fire.

But in reality, the human Federation had almost forgotten about the precious Yepera bones. No one knew that there was such a treasure beneath the Star Lake in Saint Heart City.

And the reason for this was Shadow.

To break the seal, she spent a hundred years studying the Yepera remains, trying to figure out how they could weaken her. She also secretly killed many powerful humans who knew the secret of the bones.

So Shadow’s research on the Yepera bones was no less than Logan’s. In fact, in many areas, her understanding was even better than his.

And all these experiences came with Novan’s memories, which Logan now absorbed.

Like Logan, Shadow had discovered another way to strengthen herself through the Yepera bones. She needed the power of the bones to gain higher-level power.

"Haha, a thousand years of research, and now it all belongs to me," Logan thought, a small smile creeping on his lips.

Soon, the Yepera bones and the Black Dragon bones appeared from his familiar space.

The Yepera bones were golden all over, covered with mysterious runes.

The Black Dragon bones were as black as ink, with dark red energy flowing through their gaps.

Both bones floated in midair, slowly rotating.

Logan used his Divine Perception to analyze the runes.

The progress had been slow before, because there was no time to learn.

Now, with the experience from Novan’s memories, many of the difficult parts of the bones became clear.

Time passed, second by second.

In the closed room, golden and black light mixed together, lighting up the walls and forming strange, beautiful patterns.
