Chapter 863: Chapter 781: Bringing This Farce to an End
It must be said, Gray’s Unique Skill indeed has its special aspects.
In the field within sight, he can turn attacks into invisible beasts, which then pounce and bite at the enemy, and it’s not just limited to one; he can form multiple invisible beasts to create an assault.
If this capability has no major limitations and can form invisible beasts at will, then Gray would only need to sit atop, overlooking the battlefield, and even against an army, he could fight them off single-handedly, wouldn’t he?
Even if the enemy can detect the presence of invisible beasts with extraordinary perception, they can only evade, unable to devise any other countermeasures against these invisible beasts.
Because they are essentially attacks, not creatures, nor invisible aides; they are not only invisible but intangible, even swinging a sword would hit nothing.
In this way, Gray wouldn’t even need to act himself, relying solely on the gaze-triggered attacks to effortlessly launch a continuous assault on his opponent, until the enemy is exhausted to death.
Such a capability, even if not as capable as the time-freezing chill of Aridia’s [Ice Luo Qianliu], is by no means inferior to the [Vod] that made Aridia famous.
Hence, it’s evident that Gray’s strength is indeed above Aridia’s.
If not for Shane, Gray would be the first strongest human.
Unfortunately, this world doesn’t operate on ‘ifs’.
“Clang!”
When the invisible pounce hit Shane, it didn’t cause a burst of blood nor a flying sword of flesh but a sound of metal clashing.
“Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!”
The invisible beast’s attacks repeatedly fell on Shane, one after another, triggering sounds of metal clashing, sparking off Shane’s body.
Gray’s expression suddenly changed.
On the contrary, Shane remained composed.
The expression recalled that phrase in Gray’s mind again—”You can’t even break my defense.”
An anger rose in Gray’s heart, he suddenly retaliated fiercely, unleashing countless invisible beasts pouncing towards Shane, while raising his arm, converging magic power, allowing numerous magical swords to appear, and rushing towards Shane.
In an instant, visible and invisible attacks all formed a storm-like shower, covering Shane from all directions.
In response, Shane unexpectedly slowly closed his eyes.
At this moment, Shane expanded the perception of [Outer Destiny] to the maximum.
In his perception, both visible and invisible attacks seemed to become bright lights in the darkness, all being seen clearly by him.
Under such circumstances, Shane raised both hands and formed fists.
“Bang!”
A magical sword shot fiercely towards Shane and was punched away, shattered on the spot.
“Bang!”
An invisible beast mouth just prepared to land on Shane was similarly punched away, causing a bell-like crisp sound.
Just like this, Shane, with eyes tightly closed, his fists forming a storm, at astonishing speed, struck against the incoming magical swords and beast mouths.
“Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang—!”
Amidst the incredibly intense crisp sounds, Shane’s fists flew like the wind, forcibly punching away all the incoming magical swords, also flicking away all the invisible beasts pouncing towards him.
Instantly, the magical swords that were punched away exploded around Shane, while the invisible beasts disintegrated on the spot.
The former was shattered, and the latter voluntarily dissolved.
Since they are essentially attacks, they naturally disappear after the attack ends.
Shane suddenly demonstrated his great might, using only his hands, he blocked all of Gray’s offensive.
“Impossible!”
Gray widened his eyes.
He couldn’t believe that his full-force outburst resulted in such an outcome.
Unfortunately, all of this is real.
“Your Unique Skill is indeed interesting, but ultimately, its attack power is not high enough. To me, no matter how mysterious, it doesn’t work.”
Shane opened his eyes and looked at Gray.
“Since you’ve already exerted your full force, I should put an end to this farce too.”
Saying so, Shane’s figure slowly floated up.
On his body, earth-shattering magic power was surging.
“————With vast magic power, summon the extreme light from beyond————”
Shane began his magic chant.
“————Tears of Heaven, Star Rain, bright sky, now capable of shining upon the earth————”
“————Answer the call————”
“————Embrace the deployment————”
“————Wield the sword of brilliance, pronounce judgment upon the world————”
“————Descend, stars————”
The frightening magic power rising from Shane’s body instantly transformed into endless starlight.
Hence, the night sky also illuminated.
Countless stars appeared, converging with the starlight from Shane’s body, gradually starting to glow brightly.
A terrifying sense of crisis descended upon Gray at this moment, causing Gray’s face to change dramatically.
Then…
“[Aurora Meteor Shower].”
Shane unleashed his strongest spell in terms of both power and destruction.
The stars in the night sky then fell at this moment, transforming into meteors, trailing long light tails, descending from the sky onto the earth.
The scenery was exceedingly beautiful.
However, beneath the beautiful scene, huge meteors burned one side, roaring towards the earth, bringing calamity.
“Shane Beizitu—!”
Gray could only let out such a resounding shout.
The next second, the meteor shower engulfed his figure.
…
Central City, Supreme Castle.
At this moment, many people were peering out from various windows, balconies, open areas, and doors of the castle, caught in the clamor.
They watched the sudden appearance of the dazzling meteor shower from the horizon, yet not one exclaimed at the beauty of the scene.
Because, never before has there been a meteor in the Demon Realm, and meteor showers have never been so close to people, nor have they continuously fallen outside the city, causing tremors that engulfed the entire Central City in chaos.
Among the Demon Clan, quite a few were already disturbed by the meteor shower and were immediately preparing to send people out to investigate.
As the saying goes, those with higher skills are bolder; unlike the Human Race, where the majority are powerless civilians, everyone in the Demon Clan is a being of power, even children, who at least have Level 10 and possess one or two skills that can form effective combat power.
Moreover, with the Demon Realm’s diverse clans, many powerful clans residing in Central City expressed great concern, prompting many to prepare to head to the outskirts to investigate the truth of the meteor shower.
Until a voice stopped everyone.
“All Demon Clan, hear this command: No one is allowed to leave the city and approach the location of the meteor shower. Violators will be severely punished.”
This was the voice of the Demon Clan Supreme, no one would mistake it.
Thanks to this, the various Demon Clans that were preparing to leave the city dismissed their thoughts, even the turmoil subsided a bit.
Although they didn’t know what was happening, since the Supreme had issued an order, naturally, no one would defy it.
What’s more, the Demon Clan didn’t believe that anyone would cause trouble at this time.
After all, during this period, all Six Great Demons were gathered here, without one absent.
With the Six Great Demons sitting here together, even the Fate Goddess Lidas dared not act recklessly here.
Thus, all members of the Demon Clan stopped their steps to leave the city, only pointing at the distant meteor shower, chatting among themselves without knowing what they were discussing.
Only on the rooftop of Supreme Castle, an open-air balcony, did a few demons appear.
There was Lide, Milu, Camina, and Ai Yi, yet Sera was not seen.
Ai Yi looked at the meteor shower, and blandly said.
“That voice just now, was it Sister Xiefuni?”
Yes.
Others might mistake that voice for Sera’s voice, but the demons wouldn’t.
They almost immediately guessed that the voice just now was disguised.
It couldn’t be helped.
Firstly, Sera was not in Central City at the moment but had gone out on business.
Secondly…
“That voice just now didn’t enter everyone’s ears through magic power or magic but resonated directly in their minds. Such things can only be done by Second Sister’s [Ripple Heart Demon].”
Lide spoke thus.
“So, did Second Sister cause this meteor shower?”
Camina asked this.
The one who answered this question was neither Lide nor Ai Yi, but Milu.
“Not Second Sister!”
Milu shook her head, looking at the meteor shower descending from the sky, her eyes full of stars of delight.
It seemed this girl really loved the beautiful scene of the meteor shower falling from the sky.
As for how dangerous it may be, what does that matter to Milu?
She only knew it was very beautiful, very nice to look at, and that was all that mattered.
Ai Yi also remained indifferent in expressing herself.
“Indeed, it’s not Second Sister, it’s my partner.”
Ai Yi could mostly guess what had happened.
Of course, Camina couldn’t guess it.
“How? Did he encounter danger?”
Camina almost immediately straightened up, ready to rush out.
Fortunately, Lide stopped her.
“He probably hasn’t encountered danger.” Lide said: “Otherwise, Second Sister wouldn’t tell everyone not to go over.”
“That’s true.” Camina thought for a moment, finding sense in it, then relaxed her body.
“Go back.” Ai Yi said directly: “Seems like it’s nothing noteworthy.”
Leaving those words, Ai Yi turned and went back indoors.
The other demons also nodded one after another, except for Milu, who was somewhat reluctant, but none were worried or concerned.
With Chafne by Shane’s side, none believed any problem could arise so close.
Besides, Shane’s current strength is also much greater than before, perhaps not inferior to theirs, making worries completely unnecessary.
Even You Lin was holding Lilith’s hand on another open-air balcony, engaging in this conversation.
“Let’s go back, Sister Lilith.”
“Mm-hmm!”
The two then leisurely returned indoors, completely unworried about Shane’s safety.
This might also have been because Chafne did something with [Ripple Heart Demon], unconsciously soothing everyone.
Only one person looked at the distant meteor shower, feeling uncertain inside.
Finally, unable to resist, this person transformed into a stream of light, flying toward outside the city.
