===========================================

At the same moment, in the night, at the border of Red Leaf Empire, a deafening roar shattered the peaceful night. Under the onslaught of multiple elements like fire, thunder, shattered ice, and gusts of wind, a massive crater with a radius of about five hundred meters abruptly appeared on the flat grassland, thanks to the terrifying force that was unleashed.

Within the crater, the assaults of multiple elements didn’t cease but continued to interact, merge, and together played the final prelude, relentlessly tearing at the purple silhouette at the center of the explosion.

The lingering shockwaves of this terror-inducing aura swept across the nearby grasslands, causing even the earth itself to tremble unconsciously.

The magical beasts on the grassland, upon sensing this horrifying power, were immediately filled with panic and scattered in all directions like a flock of birds and beasts, desperately trying to flee the center of the explosion and escape this fierce battlefield.

These magical beasts knew very well that once caught in it, they... would undoubtedly meet their demise...

Meanwhile, at the center of the battlefield, dozens of magicians and eight swordsmen in the front row had serious expressions as they stared fixedly at the center of the explosion. Their bodies and the vigorous magic aura inside them were in a state of high alert, and everyone was overwhelmed by an unprecedented fear.

As the leader of the squad with mid-stage of level 7 , Viskar couldn’t help but bite his lip, and feelings of fear began to spread within this powerful cultivator.

"Darn it... What in the world is she..."

As the strongest adventurer team in Saint Lomari, Viskar’s team had undertaken a confidential mission given by a major noble of the Empire—to eliminate the Empire’s Emperor Candidate, the envoy sent to Red Leaf, a young girl named Aya.

Viskar initially thought it would be an easy mission since the Emperor Candidate had no significant power within the Empire, and her personal strength was lacking, with her guards even composed of "moles." Killing her should have been a piece of cake.

If it weren’t for the exorbitant sum of money offered by that nobles, he wouldn’t have even considered taking such an unchallenging mission.

Initially, Viskar planned to quickly complete the mission by wiping out Aya and her entourage when they first arrived in Red Leaf Empire’s territory, in this desolate and uninhabited grassland.

However, when he led his subordinates to launch the attack, this battle-hardened adventurer was horrified to discover that this mission was not as simple as he had imagined. It was far from being a rookie-level mission. It was a mission from hell—an assignment that directly threatened lives!!!

’How... How did this happen?!’

’Why is this woman... Why is the maid around this woman... And Abyssal demon, for heaven’s sake! And she’s even at Demon King level! Aaaaahhhhh!!!’

"Are you kidding me?!"

Viskar couldn’t help but let out a hysterical roar.

Unfortunately, this adventurer didn’t have the luxury to contemplate the reasons. Just as he roared, a delightful but eerie laughter, filled with a chilling murderous intent and bloodthirst, erupted from the center of the explosion. It directly sent Viskar and his group into another state of shock.

"Hahahaha!!! Is this all you’ve got?! This is it?!! Too damn boring, you bunch of trash!! Can’t even manage to hurt me a bit?! So pathetic?!!"

With these mocking and manic words shouted out, dark purple lightning suddenly burst out from the center of the explosion!

Under the onslaught of the lightning and the horrifying power of the shadow, the dense magic and scorching waves surrounding the purple silhouette were unsurprisingly shattered to pieces. Subsequently, to the dismay of Viskar and his comrades, the beautiful purple-haired girl simply waved her sword, dispersing the destructive forces around her. She hovered in mid-air like a death messenger from the abyss.

Her eyes, filled with excitement and craziness, scanned the group below coldly.

"Is that all? Come on, attack some more! Don’t tell me... it’s over? I haven’t had enough yet~"

...

...

"Demon..."

Viskar muttered in terror.

He couldn’t help but retreat, and when he saw that all members of his adventure party had put in their utmost efforts to attack, yet couldn’t harm the abyssal girl before them, couldn’t even touch her, his last shred of determination completely evaporated. Overwhelming fear and despair spread through his mind like a virus, instantly taking control of his rationality.

’Where did this demon king come from? How is there a humanoid demon? How did it take the form of a maid to protect Aya?...’

A series of questions, but Viskar was too overwhelmed to continue thinking. At this moment, he had only one thought.

[Run for your lives!!!]

With his mind in utter turmoil, Viskar had no strength left to maintain any kind of offensive or defensive formation. The leader of this adventure party turned and, in front of the horrified gaze of his teammates, suddenly dashed away, utilizing all the remaining magical power to escape as if his life depended on it.

Seeing their leader abandon them, the last remnants of resistance within the remaining team members crumbled instantly.

The formation completely collapsed, and everyone abandoned their magic incantations and weapons. Amidst terrified screams, they madly fled in the direction far away from the horrifying demon disguised as a girl in the sky...

As they fled,

They still didn’t forget to release magical attacks or use ranged items to launch attacks on the purple-haired girl, seemingly trying to delay her progress.

However, their already depleted energy, combined with the loss of Viskar’s unified command, rendered the magical attacks nearly negligible. These brilliant but sunset-like attacks were twisted by an eerie force the moment they were about to touch the purple-haired girl and were instantly annihilated, transforming into countless magical particles that dissipated into the fiery and chaotic sky.
