Why can't humans do it too?

"Forget it, let's leave it at that," Xin Ke sighed deeply. "Anyway... never mind."

Her hesitant manner was really unlike the personality of this forest elf. It was clear that Xin Ke wanted to say something but gave up before she could speak. Even when Su Er secretly went over to ask her later, she only received a pair of eye rolls.

With their current high mobility, Suer and his two companions quickly arrived at the designated location.

Waves surged on the sea surface. From the top, it looked no different from any other place, but the nest of the Fantasy Species and its creations was below. To be honest, if this Fantasy Species hadn't been accompanied by several Demon Species, Jibril alone would have been enough.

"Then I'll go and get into position."

"Ah."

With a serious expression and no hint of a smile, Suer gave a brief greeting and then piloted the Great Calamity Survivor towards a pre-selected location in the distance.

Not long after, Xinke received the signal.

Sitting in a small, petal-shaped spaceship, Shinko nodded to Jibril.

Taking a deep breath, the pink-haired Skywing, having regained all her power, proudly puffed out her chest and raised her right hand as before. Space and light condensed in her palm, and huge waves surged up on the sea below, as if something hidden at the bottom knew of her arrival.

"Well then, let's start by saying hello briefly~~~"

In stark contrast to the friendly tone was the enormous pillar of light that descended from the sky; for the Skywing race, which had unleashed its full power, this was nothing more than a basic, ordinary attack.

Sky Strike!

boom!!!

"Roar!!!"

Almost at the moment the sky struck, a beastly roar came from the gaping hole in the seawater. It wasn't just one, but three roars. Even with ear protection, Xin Ke still felt her skin tremble slightly from the overlapping roars.

A massive black shadow soared into the sky!

Their bodies were coiled and intertwined, and the three huge mouths with sharp teeth bit down on Xin Ke in the air. Such an action of concentrating all the attacks on one point, and even weak one point, was undoubtedly not something that a demon species that was almost a mindless beast could do.

It was that fantasy creature, which had not shown itself yet, but instead directed its three creations to attack the weaker of the two uninvited guests, hoping to kill it outright.

Chapter 203 Slaying the Demon Seed

Showing no sign of anxiously trying to rescue her companions when they were attacked, Jibril remained floating there motionless, simply watching the bottomless abyss that was being continuously filled by the seawater.

And Xin Ke really didn't need her rescue.

Seawater kept splashing off its scales, and its head and the sides of its skull were covered with pure black thorns that shone with a metallic luster. A graze would cause injury, and a touch would be fatal. Red mist even overflowed from its gaping maw, thick enough to make one suffocate with its stench.

Like a butterfly dancing in the wind, twirling and leaping in the strong winds stirred up by the ferocious beasts, Xin Ke's little flower boat nimbly weaved through the gaps between the three giant heads and escaped unscathed.

It wasn't one, but three, their slender bodies intertwined and twisting together, resembling sea dragons, but far more ferocious than any sea dragon Suer had ever imagined. It was as if any weak point on their bodies was a mistake, and they wished they could cover every part of their scales with blades.

If Sull hadn't chosen to come along, Xinke would have been responsible for holding off all three demons to prevent them from interfering with the battle between Jibril and the fantasy species, which would undoubtedly have been difficult.

No matter how talented they are, forest elves are still just forest elves. A single forest elf simply does not have the strength to be arrogant in front of a powerful race. Even when facing demons with low intelligence, these big guys who possess all their power will render ordinary forest elves helpless simply by charging in. Not to mention their agility that is completely out of place for their massive size, as well as their power to control spirits.

Xin Ke couldn't get support from her own race. If she wanted to play a role in this battle against both the Fantasy and Demon races, she needed a sufficient number of people. Therefore, the movement of flower ships, grass ships, and manpower would inevitably fall into the eyes of Kenas. Although he always mocked the Forest God for his lack of wisdom, the so-called lack of wisdom was only relative to Xin Ke. There were too many things to pay attention to, such as the secrecy of the dispatched personnel, the noise of the long journey, and the fact that a large-scale troop movement would definitely provoke a reaction from the goblin race. Therefore, Xin Ke, the only forest elf, was left here.

If it were just Xin Ke alone trying to hold off these three demonic creatures, it would undoubtedly be a tough battle. Fortunately... that's just a hypothetical.

The small flower-shaped ship beneath Xin Ke's feet is a miniature base for her. The spells inscribed on it resonate with her magic, maximizing its power, just like it is now.

A magic circle filled with emerald green unfolded instantly from beneath the flower-shaped ship. Such a massive spell would have required at least a hundred forest elves to chant simultaneously in the past, but now, amplified by the array, it was released in an instant.

The massive spell was infused with the elves that Jibril had kept on the ship before departure. Compared to the spell that Xinke had created in the room before, the current magic, though large, had far fewer words and patterns, and its effect was very simple—imprisonment.

It has only this one function, and all the elves have used it for this purpose.

The three demons were rendered immobile the instant the magic was unleashed. They couldn't even close their gaping maws. Their tangled bodies continued their ascent into the air, propelled by the momentum of their initial flight from the seabed. When they reached their highest point, they slowed down and were about to fall back into the sea.

Controlling three demon species at once was a burden for Xin Ke, and such confinement could not be maintained for too long, but even a few seconds was enough.

Far off from the main battlefield, Suer was floating in mid-air, holding a gun in his hand. His right index finger was lightly on the trigger. The back half was no different from the guns he had seen in his previous life, but the front half was exactly the same—huge.

The gun barrel was even as long as two suls. There was no scope; instead, a pair of glasses with a string extended from the gun barrel and were worn on his eyes. In this way, even from a very long distance, he could clearly see everything that Shinko and Jibril were doing.

When the three demonic creatures burst out of the sea, he almost pulled the trigger, his hand trembling. He gasped for breath, but fortunately, Xin Ke dodged them with ease.

This demon creature, created by a fantasy species that lives in the sea, was quite handsome in the eyes of Sur, who had already seen many ugly demon creatures. Shaped like a long snake, its body covered with sharp thorns in addition to its dense scales was also to Sur's liking. At the very least, it reminded Sur of the word "sea dragon," although it was far from being a dragon.

Holding his breath, Suer knew the opportunity was fleeting. Time seemed to slow down in his eyes. He clearly saw magic unfold from the flower ship where Xinke was, and he saw the three demons intertwined and frozen in the air—rising, slowly rising, and rising again…

Pull the trigger.

The gun, resting against his shoulder, instantly emitted immense heat, so intense it seemed to melt. Even with his armor protecting him, Sull instinctively flinched. The runes that had been subtly etched onto the gun shone brightly like flowing light—light!

The true light!

Orange-red, yet almost fluorescent yellow light shot out from the muzzle of the gun. In Suer's glasses, the head of the demon he had just aimed at was instantly pierced through. When it shot out from the muzzle, it was just a thin beam of light, but when it crossed the distance and arrived, it became a beam of light thicker than several people. Suer could even see the ocean on the other side through the huge hole in the demon's head.

The bullet, accelerated to its maximum speed, melted the flesh and bones of the demons. Although they had been freed from their confinement, they seemed not to have recovered from the sudden and terrifying attack. The sudden death of their companions made even these lowly creatures feel an instinctive fear. The heat from the bullet cutting through the air still lingered in mid-air.

Without the guidance of its head, the already dead demon limply collapsed, its immense weight dragging its companion as it plummeted from the sky.

He couldn't hear their roars, but Suer seemed to hear the howls of real beasts. He hurriedly took off his glasses and saw that the gun barrel, which should have been straight and long, had been shortened by more than half, and the melted waste liquid was dripping into the sea below him.

The gun was burning hot to the touch. Having already anticipated what might happen to him, Suer hurriedly threw the now-unusable weapon downwards, watching it fall into the sea.

His battle is not over yet.

Chapter 204 The Demon King

"Oh? Not bad at all," Jibril said, no longer staring intently at the abyss below. She looked up at the corpse of the dead demon that had fallen helplessly from the sky and raised an eyebrow in admiration.

Compared to the unsuspecting Fantasy Species and its creations, this battle had already been simulated countless times by Xin Ke. There were corresponding prepared measures for all possible scenarios. This was a murder with a pre-written script, which easily caused the fall of a giant demon species.

The only pity is that such a method can only be used once. Even for beings like demons whose instincts outweigh their intellect, it is difficult to make it work a second time after they have developed an instinctive defense. Not to mention in front of those truly superior races, it is no problem to call it a toy.

"Roar!!!!"

"...Tsk, so noisy..." Xin Ke frowned and clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction at the loud shouting from so close by.

The dead demon could no longer join the chorus. Its two remaining companions roared furiously, filled with rage at their companions' sudden death, instinctive fear of death, and... revenge.

The intertwined bodies of the demons twisted and dispersed. Almost the instant they fell into the water, the demon with a more bluish body than the other plunged headfirst into the sea. Its serpentine body arched across the surface of the sea from time to time, and its ferocious thorns cut through the waves. Despite its enormous size, it moved extremely fast in the sea, as if it had already chosen its target and rushed towards the direction where Suer was.

“…You have to win, Mr. Monkey.” After taking a deep look in the direction the demon had gone, Xin Ke did not make any move to stop it, nor did Jibril.

Just as Suer believed in her, Xin Ke also believed in Suer... at least for this moment.

This is also part of the plan. The shot that Suer fired was not a random target, but a target that was confirmed after asking the sea creatures to investigate. The demon that is now following Suer's trail is the same demon that was killed before. Because of this, Xin Ke only has one demon left to deal with.

If there's only one...

The sound of wind whistling past.

Navigating the flower-shaped boat, Xin Ke dodged the attack launched by the demon species left behind, which leaped out of the seawater once again. The water mist that was thrown high into the air by the giant creature's movements hit her face and soaked her clothes.

"Then let's finish this quickly. I'm sorry, ugly creature, I'm in a bit of a hurry." Turning her gaze away from the distance, Xin Ke glanced at the ferocious head of the demon below and said with a smile.

The plan changed. No longer satisfied with the initial plan that was merely a delaying tactic, Xin Ke was determined to kill this demonic creature here... as quickly as possible.

--------------

"Still not coming out? To be honest, such a cowardly attitude is really not in line with your title as the Demon King..." Ignoring the two guys fighting each other and getting further and further away, Jibril yawned and said, "Or is it because of this cowardly personality that you fled from the land to the seabed?"

"I'm so sorry~, I disturbed your peaceful life... If you're unhappy, come and hit me!" Although she said it with remorse, she didn't feel any remorse at all. Jibril even laughed maliciously at the sea. She knew that the fantasy creature and the demon king could hear everything she said.

Within the vast group of Fantasy Species, a select few can mutate into Demon Lords. Only Demon Lords can create monsters called Demon Species. Together with their monstrous brethren, the Demon Lords roam the land—except for the one beneath your feet.

As a Demon King, He was incredibly low-key, showing no intention of acting recklessly on the continent and leaving his name behind. To be honest, after discovering Him, Jibril had to return to the city of the Skywing race and inquire for a long time before she was able to confirm the Demon King's identity from her older sister.

Purifying water, Krilattini.

[Retreat, Skywing Clan.]

A different sound finally came from the depths of the sea, as if it were ringing out directly in this space, or as if it had already existed in the minds of everyone present.

Putting aside that slightly cowardly remark, the voice of this fantasy demon king was still quite imposing.

Even when challenged so directly by the pink-headed winged creature, she only made her retreat. Even when one of her creations was attacked without reason and died, and the remaining two were in grave danger, she did not get angry.

Unfortunately, Jibril is not someone who feels shame or guilt.

"That won't do~", Jibril said with a smile, shrugging as if she'd learned a gesture from a certain man. "After all, we still have things we need your help with, Demon Lord~"

What is it?

"Oh my gosh~, so easy to talk to?" To be honest, even Jibril herself felt a bit incredulous. This guy really intends to help?

"It's not really a difficult thing~, we just want to borrow your core for a bit?" Jibril said casually.

Then there was no more sound.

This fantasy creature was so easy to talk to that it was more so than hundreds of Hinker and Jibril combined, but even so, it was still unusually angry about this outrageous request.

All fantasy species possess a core, and destroying that core will cause them to perish. Jibril's demand is practically like asking someone to hand over their heart or brain.

It was obvious that these uninvited guests were not there to ask for favors or maintain peaceful relations.

After making that arrogant request, Jibril became extremely focused. Because of her experience of hunting three superior races on her own, she understood better than others how troublesome these guys were, and every victory could be considered a stroke of luck after a desperate struggle.

Therefore, even though she was verbally belittling the Demon King below, Jibril dared not relax for a moment.

The sea seemed to boil, and every drop of water possessed its own life. This was different from the power of the sea creatures that relied on their own water spirits to bewitch the spirits and make the sea move for them. This sea area had completely become the domain of the fantasy creature below and had fallen under its control.

This demon king's power is genuine.

A formidable rival!

Chapter 205 Purifying Water

The seawater was becoming clearer, no, it should be said that it was radiating light from every drop of water. It wasn't dazzling, but the light that gathered together was enough to illuminate this area of ​​the sea. Unlike the gloomy, deep black seas around it, the seawater inexplicably reminded Jibril of the sea in his world that Sue had once described—an indigo blue under the sunlight, clear and transparent.

The power of the fantasy species was at work, and the seawater flowed according to its will, like countless silken fabrics intertwined, swirling like a whirlpool. The outermost layer was still a bright indigo blue, but the closer to the center of the whirlpool, the purer it became. Layer upon layer of water curtains covered each other, forming an impenetrable defense.

Unable to stop him, and unwilling to do so easily, and with no possibility of a sneak attack, Jibril simply watched with a gloomy face as the Demon King gradually appeared on the surface of the sea.

Unlike Abant Heim, the capital of the Skywing race, this Purifying Water is much smaller, not at all like a world contained within its body.

"Then... let's take it ourselves..."

Even before that eerie voice appeared was Krilati's attack, a towering tsunami that seemed to rise out of nowhere with overwhelming force, like a colossal wall that blotted out the sky, determined to engulf the arrogant Skywing creature flying in the sky beneath the waves.

Instead of confronting the tidal wave head-on, Jibril cautiously dodged it endlessly. Besides the massive tsunami that was encircling them from all sides, there was also the insidious jet of water shot out by Krilattini, the cunning fantasy species that hadn't even shown itself yet.
