84: Chen Beixuan returns to the human world, unlucky Calis.

Whoosh—

Demon flames, thick enough to blot out the sun, mixed with ice crystals, rained down from the sky!

Ice and fire perfectly merged, and the scene covering a thousand meters was incredibly shocking!

The demons enveloped by it showed expressions of horror and utter despair!

Their revered Demon King and Lord Gregg had all died by the hands of this human; they simply couldn't muster any thought of resistance!

The next second.

Dense damage numbers floated up!

True Damage -81799, -135450, -81799...

Under the bonus of the super-distance magic ring,

the Icefire Demon Flame Array dealt 81799 points of damage every 0.5 seconds, which was 163598 points of damage per second!

And each instance of damage would trigger the Soul Slay effect of the hell soul-devouring staff!

Causing 27090 mana × 500% = 135450 points of true damage!

Terrifying!

The only drawback was the slightly long casting wind-up.

Even with an 80% casting speed bonus, a noticeable pause could still be felt.

Perhaps this was the price of such a powerful skill.

Getting back to the main topic.

Within a thousand-meter radius, demon soldiers melted like snow, dying upon contact.

Numerous kill notifications rang out!

"Ding! You killed [Demon Warrior Lv34], gaining..."

"Ding! Bloodthirsty Body triggered, basic HP +1!"

"Ding! You killed [Demonized Ant Lv36], gaining..."

...

His level was too high, so the experience naturally fell upon the Beixuan Turtle, who was cutely posing beside him!

Golden light frequently descended!

"Ding! Pet [Beixuan Turtle] leveled up to 21, stats increased!"

"Ding! Pet [Beixuan Turtle] leveled up to 22..."

...

"Ding! Pet [Beixuan Turtle] leveled up to 30! Stats increased!"

"Ding! [Beixuan Turtle] reached Level 30! Learned new skill [Ice Spiked Armor]!"

With just one skill, the Beixuan Turtle instantly leveled up to 30!

And it provided him with 1221 points of basic HP!

His total HP instantly surged from 22437 to 25487!

The effect of the Bloodthirsty Body was immediate and its potential was limitless.

Seeing this effect, Chen Beixuan started grinding even more enthusiastically.

With a thought, four Chaos Envoys darted out from behind him, wreaking havoc.

Terrifying sword qi was unleashed, its color beautiful like an ink wash painting but secretly harboring killing intent.

High damage numbers floated above the heads of all demons hit!

-194012, -193879,...

Chen Beixuan showed an interested expression and cast reconnaissance on the envoys.

——————

"Both offensive and defensive, and can be commanded remotely, perfect."

He closed the panel with satisfaction and continued grinding.

News of the Demon King's projection and Lord Gregg's deaths quickly spread throughout the city, and panic followed.

Large numbers of demons fled; those who couldn't escape were either burned to ashes or charred to cinders.

Chen Beixuan, with his 84-meter lightning domain, ran through the entire city, even visiting the treasury during this time.

Unfortunately, it was already empty.

Without delay, he found Pedro, who was squatting at the East Gate, looking utterly bewildered.

Then, using the spatial passage in the city, he returned to Sunset City.

His vision shifted, and the sky was finally no longer gloomy.

Both of them unconsciously let out a long sigh of relief.

The invisible pressure dissipated completely.

The scout in the distance saw the teleportation array light up and thought the demons were attacking.

Just as he was about to return to report, he saw two humans emerge!

He recognized Chen Beixuan and Pedro, and his face immediately lit up with joy.

"Captain Pedro, and Master Chen! You're back!"

Chen Beixuan nodded, getting straight to the point: "Where is your captain?"

The scout was momentarily stunned, then subconsciously said: "The captain is in the barracks..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Beixuan crouched down and darted out!

Pedro sighed helplessly, his feet moving swiftly as he followed closely behind.

Only after the two had left did the scout react.

He frowned slightly.

"Master Chen just said 'your captain'? That form of address seems only appropriate for peers or superiors..."

"Did he get carried away after going to the Demon Realm?"

Compared to Master Chen, Papachee clearly held more weight in their hearts.

However, he was just a scout; he couldn't interfere with matters above his rank.

So he simply stopped thinking about it...

...

Whoosh!

The curtain at the entrance of the barracks rustled.

Papachee looked up, his face first showing surprise, then joy!

"It's you two! This is great! Is the mission complete?"

"Yes, it's complete."

Chen Beixuan nodded, walked to a chair, and sat down with a flourish.

Pedro subconsciously stepped forward, intending to follow, but then realized it was inappropriate and drew back.

Papachee didn't notice their movements, excitedly clenching his fists and pacing back and forth.

"Good, good! This will greatly delay the Demon Realm's attack. You've rendered great service!"

He turned his head and suddenly froze when he saw Chen Beixuan sitting in the chair.

How did this old man become so casual after a trip to the Demon Realm?

However, since they were both great contributors, he didn't say much.

"Since you've completed the mission, you can go to the treasury at any time to choose one item. I'll notify them in advance, so you can just go directly."

"Yes."

Pedro's face lit up with joy, not expecting to benefit from this as well.

Master Chen is awesome!

"Ding! Mission [Deep into the Demon Realm] completed. Gained 18000 experience points, Gold +50, Treasury selection opportunity ×1!"

Chen Beixuan raised an eyebrow, surprised it ended so quickly.

He had expected a dramatic speech.

Since he had received the reward, there was no need to stay here.

He got up to leave before his seat had even warmed.

At this moment, Papachee called out to him.

"Old Man Chen, stay a moment. I have something to discuss with you."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm tired."

Chen Beixuan left the barracks without looking back, with a rustle.

Are you kidding? The time is almost up.

Any missions can wait until next time!

Papachee looked bewildered, and Pedro inwardly exclaimed how awesome Master Chen was.

Master Chen was the first person to dare to snub Papachee.

The two looked at each other.

Then Papachee waved his hand.

"You can go too. Get some good rest."

He wanted to talk to Old Man Chen about taking over as captain, but now it seemed they could only discuss it tomorrow.

As for the offense, he didn't care.

Leaders are always more tolerant of capable people, it's the same everywhere...

...

Chen Beixuan returned to his bed and opened his backpack, using the last bit of time.
