At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

A fluorescent, grayish-green liquid sprayed out, and the little head was completely severed.

"Drink!" Without giving the calyx beast any time to react, Artoria slashed down heavily, unleashing a massive golden slash imbued with magical power that cleaved the calyx beast in two. A large amount of grayish-green liquid exploded out, revealing a glowing chunk of flesh inside one half of its body.

"Spiritual Seed".

Artoria swiftly slashed with her sword, and a crisp cracking sound rang out as the glowing chunk of flesh was split open.

Puff puff~

The sound was like the rolling of foul black mud in a swamp, and the flesh and blood of the Flower Calyx Beast instantly melted into black mud like oil.

Finally, two huge skeletons, split in two, were left in the black mud.

The Devouring Beast can only be truly killed by shattering the Spirit Seed; otherwise, it will quickly regenerate and revive, and the more life essence it absorbs, the faster it will revive.

Of course, it's not only by shattering the Spirit Seed that you can kill it; you can also kill it by consuming all of the Devouring Beast's life essence, but you'll need to kill it at least a dozen times to truly kill it.

Tao Jing stared at the scene in disbelief, muttering, "A monster that even sacrificing an entire combat company couldn't defeat was killed in just a few moves..."

The battle is not over yet.

If Artoria's swift and decisive slashes at the Flower Calyx Beast were a visually striking display of violence, then Meadow's battles were a visual feast of skill.

Not only Tao Jing, but all the combat personnel, including those in the 'Anomaly Investigation Bureau' who were using drones for remote monitoring, were holding their breath and watching the battle unfold.

"As expected of Artoria, she took care of such a big guy in just a few moves." Maido quickly pulled out the spear that had pinned the thorn eel, sharing Chagai's vision, so she didn't need to be wary of the Devouring Beasts spitting bone spikes at her from behind.

The bone spur made a sound as it cut through the air.

call out!call out!

"Hiss~"

Inhale using the breathing technique, your pupils glow to activate 'Source Potential', and at the same time, the Divine Eye at your waist emits a red light, while your hands flip and twirl the spear behind your back.

when!when!when!

The fire element instantly formed a curtain of flames, blocking all the bone spikes that shot from behind.

Then she twisted her wrist and flicked the spear tip, her body leaning forward as the spear tip pierced the spiky eel that had rushed in front of her. Flames burst from the spear tip, forming a phantom image of a bull's horn.

Maido chuckled softly, "Ha!"

The spear tip, enveloped by the phantom of the bull's horn, pierced through the head of the spiky eel, penetrating to a third of the way into the shaft.

Six Harmony Spear, Right Style, Iron Ox Plowing the Field.

puff!

Bang!

Then, the flames exploded inside the thorn eel's body, and with a bang, the thorn eel was blown to pieces, while the tip of the spear contained the shattered spirit seed.

"With the 'Eye of God,' we can see the spiritual seeds of these great monsters clearly, and we no longer have to worry about them being resurrected." Maido said happily, but her gun didn't stop. She drew her gun, turned around and fired, thrusting her right hand.

This time, the spear tip pierced the spiky eel that had pounced into the air. The spear tip was enveloped in a dragon claw made of flames, and it pierced through the spiky eel's chest and abdomen, shattering the spirit seed.

Six Harmony Spear, Single Killer, Azure Dragon Claw.

Puff~

The destruction of the Spirit Breath Seed Eel's shell instantly dissolved it into black mud, leaving only its skeleton lying on the ground.

“17, 15 more.” Maido turned around and swung her spear, gripping the butt of the spear with one hand. With a powerful swing, she unleashed a three-meter-high wave of flames from the Six Harmonies Spear technique, “Undersea Tide,” severing the limbs of four spiky eels.

He thrust the spear repeatedly, each shot precisely shattering the spirit seed.

In just a few moves, he took care of the five spiny eels.

"Hiss hiss hiss—" The remaining spiky eels let out a piercing hiss, surrounded Maido, and pounced on her, leaving Maido with nowhere to hide.

"The monsters have become smarter after absorbing so many people's souls." Maido remained completely calm, shifting her grip on the gun with her left and right hands, flames erupting from the gun as she constantly changed her position, twisting and turning, the gun tumbling in her hands, the flames seemingly forming a giant crimson fire lotus phantom together with the wielding gun.

Puff puff--

The dozen or so spiky eels that rushed in from all directions were instantly torn apart. Some had their heads swept off, while others were snapped in half. Greenish-gray liquid was continuously pumped out, but before it could even touch Maido, it was burned away by the fire element.

"Drink!" After using the move "Continuous Cloud Top Dance Spear", Maiduo switched hands to grip the handle, twisted her body and thrust the spear, then gripped the spear butt with one hand and swung the spear, using the move "Crossing the River and Flying Across" to shatter several Devouring Beasts that had not yet landed.

hiss-

The sound of brocade tearing rang out, and the several Devouring Beasts that had already been broken by the gun barrel were swept away again, their shells becoming even more shattered. Accompanied by the burning of fire elements, the Spirit Seeds were directly shattered.

crackling sounds~

The dead spiky eel turned into pieces of its skeleton and fell around.

At that moment, a spiny eel pounced from behind her. Without turning her head, Maido thrust her spear backward, the tip piercing the eel's chest and abdomen, and twisting the shaft.

Bang!

The moment the spiky eel was pierced, it exploded, and a shattered spirit seed fell to the ground.

"Four left." Maido slowly exhaled, without moving her body more than two steps, and twirled her gun with both hands, creating a powerful and graceful movement.

With a flick of the spear, a thrust, a press, and a snap, the remaining four spiky eels were sent flying in four consecutive movements.

The final move, a single-handed spear thrust, instantly impaled four spiky eels on the spear with lightning speed; ordinary people only saw blurry afterimages.

The Spirit Seed was shattered, and the spiny eel's shell quickly melted into black mud.

"Drink!" Maido flicked her gun, and the skeletons of the four spiky eels were shattered and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

Chapter Nine: Wait, we will give you the Extraordinary Professorship

"Hoo~" Maido slowly exhaled, casually twirled her gun, closed her source potential and her eyes returned to normal, the God's Eye at her waist also dimmed, she looked down at her waist and gently patted the God's Eye with her palm.

"With this from Brother Luo, fighting monsters is so much easier."

"it's over?"

"Just, just two or three times..."

"Is that a marksmanship technique?"

"Celestial arts?"

"Gudong..."

The combatants watched as the monsters that had wiped them out in a few swift moves filled their eyes with complex emotions: shock, loss, relief at surviving, and above all, gratitude for being saved.

They sacrificed so many comrades and still couldn't kill a single one, yet now some people are killing those monsters like chickens.

Their own insignificance filled them with immense despair, as if their sacrifices were utterly meaningless.

"Alright, we should head back now." Luo Sheng waved to the two who had finished dealing with the Devouring Beasts.

The Flower Calyx Beast and the Spiny Eel were beasts that nearly wiped out an entire Hunter Squad, but for Artoria, they were just a few extra sword swings, far from enough to warrant the release of her Noble Phantasm.

Maido, who was already capable of single-handedly killing more than a dozen small Devouring Beasts, obtained the 'Eye of God'. Each move of the Six Harmonies Spear was equivalent to an area-of-effect attack, and the added elemental damage increased it by more than four or five times.

The Eye of God on Los Saint's waist dimmed, his glowing hair returned to normal, and the rock elemental barrier that enveloped the entire stadium quickly disappeared.

He is immortal and his body is unharmed by attacks or negative buffs, so he can receive the elemental power generated by the entire 'Silver Ancient Tree'.

Even setting up a barrier that could cover an entire city block would be of no burden to him, as easy as breathing.

The magic used by Joan of Arc and Artoria was derived from his life force.

Immortality proves that life force is inexhaustible; the battle between Jeanne d'Arc and Artoria just now didn't even deplete one ten-thousandth of his life force.

Moreover, the life force consumed is recovered in just a few seconds.

"Yes, Master. I'm hungry. Shall we go to the buffet next?" Artoria's ahoge (cowlick) twitched, and she quickly sheathed her sword and ran towards him.

"Here it comes." Maido folded up the big gun and put it into the Eye of God, and Chagai, who was flying in mid-air, landed on her shoulder.

"Chirp chirp~" Chagai flapped its fluffy wings and chirped twice.

With a wave of his hand, Luo Sheng took out the Anywhere Door that was kept in the Eye of God.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Tao Jing snapped out of her daze and shouted.

"Wait! Please wait!"

Luo Sheng looked over, his heart as calm as still water. He knew someone would call him over. After all, it was a special department. It would be strange if they didn't try to make contact with people with extraordinary powers like them.

He knew all too well how much the country's special departments wanted people with extraordinary powers to join them, and even if they didn't join, they would do everything they could to maintain contact.

"You are the mysterious people who sent us the warning information, right? The country and the people need you, please..." Tao Jing was interrupted by Luo Sheng before she could finish speaking.

“We are not interested in joining you, but we will not stand idly by. We will step in to solve the problems you cannot solve.”

"In addition, we will teach you the method to obtain extraordinary power. Just wait." As Luo Sheng spoke, a booklet appeared in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, the booklet flew dozens of meters and landed in Tao Jing's arms.

He respected the soldiers who protected the lives of ordinary people, but as a time traveler, he felt no sense of belonging to this familiar yet unfamiliar country.

But he didn't want to see those who protected their homeland sacrifice themselves, nor did he want human society to descend into chaos. After all, he still wanted to live a comfortable life. If human society was in chaos, who would create games? Who would manufacture everyday products? Who would run Artoria's favorite buffet?

He is also a human being, a social animal, and the chaos and collapse of human society will not benefit him in the slightest.

Now and in the future, all he wants is to live peacefully with the familiar women who have fallen into this world.

Most importantly, getting involved with special departments will inevitably lead to endless trouble, being bound by various moral and ethical constraints, losing freedom and being shackled.

If he is not powerful enough to control his own destiny, then relying on a nation is the right choice.

More importantly, his true identity is now 'World Administrator'. He has joined a special department of the country. Isn't this a reversal of the Heavenly Gang?

"Let's go, everyone. Thanks for your hard work. Let's go get a big meal." Los Saint waved to Artoria, Mythos, and Jeanne, then opened the Anywhere Door.

Maido stretched and said cheerfully to Luo Sheng, "That wasn't even a warm-up, it wasn't tiring at all."

At this moment, Tao Jing stared in disbelief at the scene on the other side of the Anywhere Door, which was an unfamiliar, deserted alley: "Empty, a spatial door?"

Tao Jing didn't have time to check the booklet she had hurriedly caught before she called out to the four mysterious people who had already entered the room.

"Wait, please wait! At least tell us what's happening in the world, why those monsters appeared. You must know, right?"

Seeing that the mysterious man was completely ignoring her, she ran over as fast as she could.

"Wait a moment!"

She hadn't even run halfway when the door slammed shut and vanished into thin air.

"Haaah..." Tao Jing's hand, which was still reaching for the Anywhere Door, was still outstretched. Her breathing was rapid, and she finally gritted her teeth in reluctance.
