Why must the devil be Defeated?-Chapter 1001 - 885: Is That So?

Transcendent Level Existences are extremely difficult to kill.

Even Magellan, who can only be classified as a half-demon and not a true demon, exhibits power that is in no way inferior to that of a true Demon Level Existence, making it equally difficult to kill.

Previously, Shane simultaneously used powerful celestial magics like the [Aurora Meteor Shower] and [Starry Arrays] to bombard Magellan, yet Magellan still had the ability to resist, which proves this point.

However, Magellan is ultimately a mindless monster, devoid of any rational behavior.

If it were another Transcendent Level Existence, upon being beaten like this, they would invariably consider retreating.

And for a Transcendent Level Existence to escape, the possibility of stopping them is indeed very low.

But, Magellan had no such intention at all.

Or perhaps, in its instinct, the concept of "escape" simply doesn’t exist.

If it were to fight one-on-one with an average Transcendent Level Existence, it might be difficult to say if it would lose.

Unfortunately, it faced Shane and Lilith, subjected to the assault of two Transcendent Level powers.

Especially when one of them is a Hero.

The Holy Sword of the Hero is undoubtedly the only power capable of totally defeating and killing a Demon Level Existence.

Under these circumstances, if Magellan doesn’t retreat and confronts head-on, the outcome is predictable.

The Holy Power of the Holy Sword rampaged within its body, inflicting fatal damage to it as a half-demon.

"Pfft!" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Shane pulled out the Holy Sword, teleporting away from Magellan in an instant movement.

Under the erosion of the Holy Power of the Holy Sword, cracks began to appear on Magellan’s body.

"Crack crack crack..."

Just like a giant statue cracking, numerous fissures appeared on Magellan’s body.

From within the cracks, holy radiance gradually shone through, illuminating the surroundings.

"Boom——!"

Soon after, the gigantic monster, as large as a mountain, shattered with a breaking sound.

Its body dispersed like this, being purified by the residual Holy Power of the Holy Sword.

"It’s over."

Shane thought silently to himself, the radiant flames on his body also gradually dissipating.

Lilith also descended back beside Shane, holding his hand, the evil energy on her body gradually calming.

The two of them gazed at the passing of the Demon Dragon Magellan.

Until... a figure silently appeared there.

"...!"

"...!"

Shane and Lilith’s expressions changed simultaneously, their pupils contracting.

Even they, before the appearance of the figure, had not noticed or detected anything.

That was only natural.

Because the opponent’s Unique Skill was such a capability.

A Unique Skill that could completely erase any target’s presence, magic power, shadow, and even trace left in the world, turning the target into a conceptual state of "non-existence" ———— [Shadow Annihilation].

This is the ability of the leader known as the [Primordial Demon], and the younger brother of the half-demons among the Six Great Demons.

At this moment, the voice of this maddening existence echoed around.

"Disappear here?"

"Fine!"

"But your role hasn’t truly been played out yet!"

"Demon Dragon Magellan!"

"Become one with me!"

Helimis let out a roar that seemed crazed.

His body was riddled with wounds.

His face was covered in blood.

The aura on his body had also completely weakened, no longer the Transcendent Level Demon, but merely reaching the Limit Level of demon life.

Yet, he still leveraged the ability of [Shadow Annihilation], grasping the opportunity that was supposed to belong to him.

An opportunity for rebirth.

"Aaaaaahhhhh...!"

In the next moment, Helimis threw his head back and howled wildly.

On his body, a bizarre suction power suddenly appeared, drawing in the fragments of Magellan that were being purified by Holy Power.

The fragments of Magellan were swallowed into his mouth at an astonishing speed, merging into his body.

"Not good!"

Shane finally realized, with a flash, he used Instant Movement, flickering towards Helimis.

"Boom!"

Lilith’s body also surged with evil energy once again, letting it spread out.

"Don’t interfere!"

Helimis, naturally, was not unprepared. Seeing the two beings with Transcendent Level power advancing towards him, he not only did not stop but became even more frenzied.

And with his madness, countless Refined Demons and Demon Infants, which had somehow quietly gathered around without anyone noticing, revealed themselves at that moment.

"Roar!"

"Howl!"

The Refined Demons charged towards Shane with fury.

"Gaaaaaaa——!"

The Demon Infants also let out hysterical roars, spewing burning Dragon Breath in Lilith’s direction.

Undoubtedly, they have already ambushed here, erupting in a sudden attack at this moment.

So many Refined Demons and Demon Infants were actually lurking around, unnoticed until now. Even Shane finds it somewhat unbelievable.

But this is the power of [Shadow Annihilation]. Not only Helimis himself, but others can also become the subject of his Unique Skill, completely vanishing from this world.

With this ability, Helimis and his underlings, the [Primordial Demons], have survived until now without being hunted down by many powerful beings.

If not for the ability of [Shadow Annihilation], never mind the demons, the Divine Race, adept at performing miracles, possess no less than three ways to expose them.

For example, the Nature Goddess, Nadura, who can transform into Nature, merging into it, utterly encompassing her vision to the whole world, peering into every corner.

For example, the Life Goddess, Anima, who can sense life energy, and even the energy belonging to the Demon Clan not created by the Divine Race could be somewhat traced.

And for example, the Goddess of Fate, Lidas, who can manipulate fate, nearly omnipotent.

Each of the Three Great Goddesses has the ability to find out the [Primordial Demons] and exterminate them completely.

But thanks to the Unique Skill [Shadow Annihilation], Helimis insists on having the [Primordial Demons] become the most mysterious Old Demon Clan Faction unseen by anyone, and for a thousand years allowed the [Primordial Demons] to expand and act with impunity, ultimately nurturing a Demon Dragon Magell and cultivating a large Monster Army capable of assaulting both the Demon Realm and Human Realm.

All of this is the merit of [Shadow Annihilation].

Due to this, Shane and Lilith were caught off guard, momentarily forced back by countless Refined Demons and Demon Infants.

Fortunately, the attacks of Refined Demons could be barely handled; even if Shane and Lilith resisted head-on, they would probably remain unharmed. But the Dragon’s Breath of the Demon Infants posed a significant threat.

No one wishes to be struck by the Dragon’s Breath that can penetrate all defenses.

"Tsk...!"

Shane could only halt his movements, clicking his tongue while mercilessly raising the Holy Sword, sweeping it in a mighty arc, slashing a massive sword light towards all directions.

"Splat!" "Splat!" "Splat!"...

Without any suspense, all Refined Demons and Demon Infants struck by the sword light were cleaved in two, instantly cut into halves, turning into corpses, blood spilling into the sky.

"Boom!"

Lilith similarly detonated the Evil Energy within herself, causing it to erupt like a torrent in all directions, exploding the countless charging Refined Demons and Demon Infants like balloons.

The Monster Army silently ambushing around using the power of [Shadow Annihilation], fell at the hands of Shane and Lilith, unable to survive a single round, thoroughly annihilated.

However, their purpose had been achieved.

As sacrificial pawns used to delay time, they indeed held Shane and Lilith back for several seconds.

And within these several seconds, Helimis absorbed all of Magell’s fragments into his stomach.

"————"

A heavy silence emanated from Helimis’s body.

All movements seem to disappear at this moment.

The atmosphere froze.

The earth began to slightly tremble.

Helimis lowered his head, remaining silent.

His body exuded a gradually rising powerful aura, elevating him back to the Limit Level realm.

Seeing this, Shane knew.

This half-demon had finally achieved his purpose.

"Ha..."

A subtle laugh emerged from Helimis’s lowered head.

"Haha... Hahaha... Hahahaha...!"

The laughter gradually increased, spreading unprecedented ecstasy bit by bit across the heavens and earth.

Helimis abruptly lifted his head, laughing wildly.

"Success! It’s a success!"

Helimis laughed madly, as if venting decades of frustration, depression, resentment, and grievance, with his aura becoming increasingly robust.

"Ten thousand years!"

"I, Helimis, have finally become a complete demon!"

"Hahaha! Hahahahaha!"

Helimis’s loud, wild laugh echoed across the wilderness skies, allowing everyone to distinctly hear the joy within.

"Boom!"

In the next instant, Helimis’s aura soared to the peak, transforming into a turbulent airflow, sweeping forth.

That was an aura on par with any demon.

That was an even more furious power than Helimis’s prime.

After devouring Demon Dragon Magell, Helimis not only completed his Demon Body but also considerably enhanced his power.

"From this day forth, I am a demon, Helimis!"

"No one, shall ever hinder me again!"

"No one!"

Helimis arrogantly declared this.

"..."

Shane silently watched this scene, with cold light glimmering in his eyes.

He despised such rampant arrogance in villains.

However, just as Shane prepared to take action, an unexpected development made him halt and raise his brow, a smile emerging on his lips.

And at that second, an icy voice rang out.

"Is that so?"

As this voice echoed, overpowering Helimis’s laughter, silence fell upon the world.

Helimis’s laughter abruptly ceased.

The inflated aura on his body was instantly suppressed.

One... two... three... four... a total of six auras not inferior to his abruptly appeared, locking onto his body.

Causing his expression to drastically change.
