391: Eric's Fury

“Boom!”

With a loud bang, the Red Demon's body and Divine Kingdom instantly exploded, turning into countless fragments and dissipating into the air.

A divinity, shimmering with mysterious light, emerged from the Red Demon's corpse—the only trace he left behind.

Lin Ye quickly reached out, grabbed the divinity, and put it into his pocket.

The other Demons, witnessing this scene, were filled with fear and despair.

They realized they were in a desperate situation, unable to escape.

They started fleeing in a frenzy, but they soon discovered that their retreat had already been blocked.

Besides Barbara, Feng and Bai Qi each sent out clones, firmly entangling their opponents.

These clones possessed the same strength as their main bodies, making it impossible for those Demons to escape.

Lin Ye first helped Barbara deal with the Abyssal Dragon Demon who was trying to escape.

Next, the Armored Demons and Giant Strength Demons also failed to escape the judgment of fate.

They were successively cut down by Lin Ye, ultimately falling in pools of blood.

The consecutive fall of four Demons filled the teleported Demons with immense terror and despair.

“The Demon God is dead, run!”

“Go report to Eric!”

The Demons had no desire to fight and fled in all directions.

How could Lin Ye miss the opportunity to expand the victory? He and his senior brother and sister quickly cleared out the remaining Demons.

.........

“What? Vidomi and the other four are all dead?” Eric stood up in shock, an expression of disbelief on his face.

Although these four Demons were not his most capable subordinates, they were still excellent vanguards under him. Especially for the Curse Demon Clan, who were adept at curses and relatively weak in physical body, such warriors were rare talents.

Therefore, their status among the Curse Demons was quite high, and their treatment even exceeded that of their own clansmen of the same rank.

However, they all perished in just the first wave of attack.

The Demons kneeling on the ground trembled with fear, not daring to breathe loudly, afraid of incurring Eric's wrath.

“Did the Galaxy Lord personally intervene?” Eric asked, frowning. He was confident that he had fully understood the Galaxy Lord's strength and had dispatched sufficiently powerful Demons based on that information. According to his plan, unless the Galaxy Lord personally intervened, this operation should have been foolproof.

“No, Demon God, it was the Galaxy Lord's disciple who acted,” one Demon replied tremblingly.

“His disciple can contend against two Demon God Two-stars and two Demon God One-stars?” Eric asked, puzzled. As far as he knew, there were four Rulers among the Galaxy Lord's disciples, but two of them had just broken through to that realm and were relatively weaker. Even the other two stronger Rulers could not contend against the four Demons he had sent out.

“No, the strength of the Galaxy Lord’s first two disciples showed no deviation from the intel, but the other two newly-broken-through disciples were too formidable. One single-handedly fought the Abyssal Dragon Demon to a standstill, and the other single-handedly fought Vidomi, resolving Vidomi in just a few moves.”

“Oh? To have such strength right after breaking through?” Eric looked at the messenger Demon in front of him with surprise and uncertainty.

Reached Ruler Three-star right after breaking through?

Eric's heart was filled with doubt and disbelief.

He looked at the messenger Demon with suspicious eyes. If it weren't for the Demon Contract binding them, he would even suspect that this Demon had betrayed him.

For such important positions, he had always, at all costs, entered into Contracts with his subordinate Demons.

Perhaps the messenger Demon in front of him had been deceived, which was why he was delivering such absurd news.

Otherwise, such news was truly unbelievable.

“Yes, Demon God, he not only killed Vidomi, but the subsequent Demons also died at his hands.”

“You may withdraw.”

Eric's expression became heavy.

Hearing this, the messenger Demon secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then respectfully exited Eric's palace.

Eric took out a divine artifact from his spatial ring. The artifact radiated a rich power of faith, a strong and pure force, as if it could penetrate one's Soul.

The presence of this power of faith in the artifact undoubtedly proved its true identity—a Faith Artifact.

“Vidomi, let me see what you experienced before your death,” Eric murmured, his voice revealing a hint of regret and anticipation.

He had always valued Vidomi greatly. After all, he came from the rare Red Demon Clan. Although the Red Demon Clan was not as renowned as the Mad Demon, the Red Demons, being of the same type as the Mad Demon, had strength and potential far exceeding them.

And Vidomi was a genius among the Red Demon Clan, with extraordinary talent. As long as he had enough resources, he would surely become his capable assistant in the future.

Therefore, he specifically set up this artifact, similar to a death-recap, to understand who dared to lay hands on Vidomi, in order to deter his enemies.

Now, this ritual had instead become an important tool for understanding the enemy's strength.

As the gray stone disk lit up, everything Vidomi experienced before his death began to replay before his eyes. In that scene, a terrifying figure relentlessly beat Vidomi from beginning to end, and Vidomi had no power to retaliate.

“Hiss~”

Eric gasped.

“This is more than Ruler Three-star; looking at his strength, he's probably close to Ruler Four-star.”

“A newly broken through genius having battle power close to Ruler Four-star, there's only one explanation: perfect breakthrough.”

Eric's heart churned violently.

Perfect breakthrough.

How terrifying an existence was that? It meant that the opponent was guaranteed to reach Ruler Eight-star in the future.

“No, perhaps I overlooked one possibility, that is, the opponent might have a special physique.”

Eric had lived much longer than the Galaxy Lord and had more foundation, subtly discerning Barbara's special physique.

And Lin Ye being able to achieve such battle power might also be due to a special physique.

“Regardless, this is definitely not an ordinary genius. Vidomi’s defeat was not unjust.”

“The Galaxy Lord, from this remote Galaxy Territory, actually has such a talented disciple.”

Eric was consumed by jealousy.

Why wasn't it him?

If he encountered such a Demon, the future would be promising.

Then he felt somewhat fortunate.

“Fortunately, I knew his strength beforehand, otherwise, if he played the pig to eat the tiger, who knows how much battle power would have been lost.”

Eric secretly rejoiced.

He made new arrangements for the candidates for the next second wave of invasion.

Even the time was changed.

The Star Gate needed to accumulate more power to carry stronger individuals.

The losses from the first wave were for the sake of future deployments.
