Erii: A Journey Through the Heavens Begins with Frilian

"I've set up traps along the way. We'll retreat to advance and then look for an opportunity," Lorelei said quickly, unwilling to accept her fate.

"Go ahead." Levi raised his chin.

Upon receiving the order, Luo Lei pushed off with her feet and was about to rush out, but instead she stumbled and fell to the ground, knocking out two of her front teeth.

She turned her head in astonishment, a wave of fear washing over her face.

His two lower legs were still in place, their cut surfaces so smooth that they seemed to be able to be seamlessly pieced back together.

"Do you take my words as bullshit?" Levi snorted expressionlessly, but his eyes were filled with madness and fervor as he looked down at Erii, as if he had fallen in love at first sight.

The Shadow Warriors' mission is to eliminate magic and make the world a beautiful place free of magic.

Levi, as the leader, harbors extreme hatred towards magicians, stemming from the fact that his entire family died because of magic when he was a child.

The long-term threat posed by the demon race, skilled in magic, and the continuous wars between nations caused by the expansion of human mages further deepened Levi's extreme, one-size-fits-all mentality.

In order to achieve this great goal as soon as possible, he did not hesitate to collude with the conservative nobles, assassinating targets for them in exchange for a large amount of money and resources.

This time, using Erii's information, the nobles extorted a lot from Levi.

But Levy felt it was all worth it!

Shadow warriors specialize in physical combat and assassination, mastering various hidden weapons and anti-magic items, all in order to suppress their own magical energy fluctuations to conceal their presence and then achieve a fatal kill.

Even Levi, the king of assassins, was never satisfied with himself.

Until he learned of Erii's extraordinary existence, until he witnessed Erii's silent killing, at this moment, the usually calm and cold-blooded Levi was almost at a spiritual climax, so excited that he couldn't help but convulse.

He longed to hold this girl tightly in his arms, to touch her delicate skin as if caressing the finest porcelain in the world, and then to whisper in her ear with a trembling, tearful voice, "I love you, you are my destined wife and daughter."

She possessed not a trace of evil magic, a flawless and powerful physique, a cold and ruthless killing intent, and death power comparable to that of a god! These were what Levi was excited about and craved. When all of these were gathered in Erii alone, he went completely mad, disregarding even the shadow warriors he had cultivated.

Once Erii is under control, then Frilian, the Continental Magic Association, and the strongest mage, Celie, will all be reduced to ashes!

He stepped forward, boldly exposing himself to Erii and Shutark's gaze. He knew that hiding himself would be futile; it was better to be honest with them, openly share their feelings, and seek a chance for survival and a turning point.

He opened his arms, letting his brain work at full speed and his mouth speak freely.

Thoughts are flying everywhere, and inspiration is bursting forth!

He wanted to use his personal charm and the magic of language to win over Erii and make her work for him. No, such words were too insulting to her. "Like-minded" would be more appropriate. Together, they would create a happy world without magic!

"Your Excellency... uh... you? No, this shouldn't be..."

Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned; there are always those who don't play by the rules.

Puff~ Puff~

Levy, covered in blood, fell backward and crashed into the ground, shattering into dozens of pieces.

Iris and Lorelei were dumbfounded, completely unprepared for this absurd and comical turn of events.

Logically speaking, well, how could the girl below's behavior be considered normal? She was even more sinister than a demon!

This assassin king, who could be called the dark emperor of the world, didn't even have a chance to make a move before being dismembered and killed by the opponent using unknown and bizarre methods.

Shocked and terrified, the two were overwhelmed with emotion and grief.

"Huh? Junior sister, aren't you going to wait for him to finish? Aren't you curious about what his last words are?" Shutark was also a little stunned.

"His eyes are disgusting, I don't like them." Erii frowned in utter disgust, as if she had stepped in poop.

This indescribable gaze was the most physically uncomfortable she had experienced during her trip, and she almost instinctively killed him, too lazy to listen to his rambling.

puff!

Luo Lei's eyes turned cold. She pulled out a dagger and forcefully stabbed it into her temple. She twitched twice and died on the spot.

Her legs were broken, and even with medication to stop the bleeding, she could only cling to life for a few more minutes, unable to escape Erii's grasp.

Iris gritted her teeth and decided to do the same.

Shadow Warriors are all ruthless individuals on par with Deadpool, harboring hatred for magic and magicians, yet possessing unwavering devotion to their grand, wishful-thinking ambitions.

*Pfft x4!*

However, Erii was faster, severing Iris's limbs in the blink of an eye.

Just as Iris, now a human pig, was about to bite off her tongue and commit suicide, Shutark leaped up and kicked all of her teeth away.

"Tell me the truth, and I might let you die with some dignity," Hugh Tarek snapped.

"Heh, dignified?" Iris sneered, as if to say, could I be any more pathetic than I am now?

"A living shadow warrior, such a bizarre collectible, the wealthy gentlemen of the black market would probably be quite interested~" Hugh Tarek said with a wicked grin. "If I sold you to a boss who likes the extreme, hehe~~~"

To be fair, his cool, handsome face does have a certain chilling, sinister quality when he puts on an act.

If Philon were here, he would most likely scurry away hundreds of meters away from him and give him the middle finger with utter contempt.

This is hell!

Even Satan, who has worked for five hundred years, has to line up to sign up for his classes!

Upon hearing this, Iris's already pale face turned ashen, and the thought of the scene described by Hugh Tarker made her gag repeatedly.

"You beast! We've never been this cold-blooded during interrogations or torture! Fine, I'll talk. Anyway, the Governor is dead..."

In order not to become a cup that can neither live nor die, it had no choice but to explain its origins.

Finally, before the two could finish her off, Iris died from excessive bleeding.

Thus, the shadow warriors who struck fear into the hearts of countless powerful figures came to an end in such a laughable and lamentable way, completely fading into the dust of history.

……

The mobilization and annihilation of the Shadow Warriors was merely a trivial incident for Erii.

In the face of trial, their prized assassination skills are nothing but a joke, posing far less of a threat than those of a powerful mage.

For example, having Frilian stand outside the range of the Judgment Domain and unleash a long-range single-target spell, or having a top-tier mage like Celia unleash a world-destroying spell.

"Phew~"

She returned to the pit, grabbed the knife handle, and pulled it upwards.

Perhaps because of the silver snake ring as a key, the process was unexpectedly easy; it was pulled out completely with a single pull.

The blade that disappeared into the rock strata was also covered in rust, with curled edges, cracks, and bends—it was so dilapidated that no one would even look at it in a museum. Even the scrap collectors would avoid it, worried that they might accidentally catch tetanus.

"That's it?" Shutark looked around but didn't find anything else.

Rumble~

As if it were a harbinger of doom, the entire cave began to tremble, and loose stones rained down from above.
