Chapter 277: Chapter 169: Destruction
"Iz, are you going to step in?"
"I don’t like to meddle in wars, but when it comes to Demons, I never intend to just stand by and watch."
’That’s right. He even saves villages and towns.’
’How could he possibly watch dozens of cities and nations fall to ruin!’
"Besides, I once took a look at Ruijia’s Secret Technique."
"It’s about time I returned the favor."
’Uh... do they even know you "borrowed" their Secret Technique?’
’Still, these types of Demons seem a little familiar. There are a lot of Soul Bodies. If I used Soul Dominator, I feel like I could sweep up a huge number of souls.’
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Iz hadn’t even made a move.
Yet three humanoid Demons suddenly appeared, standing right in front of Izparut.
"Human!"
"Heh heh. I just felt a wave of Perception sweep over this area. I didn’t expect to find humans hiding here."
’So they’re Demons you can communicate with.’
"I wasn’t hiding," Iz said, his tone flat.
The three Demons were all humanoid in shape, but each differed in the details.
The auras they radiated were all King Level.
Tier Six King Level.
"Hahaha! Not hiding? You saw our grand army and you haven’t pissed yourself in fear?! Human!"
The Demon in the center had only a single mouth for a face. Faint souls drifted out from it, and both the mouth and the ethereal figures wore mocking smiles.
Beside it, a pointy-headed Demon peered at them. "Oh? Two Level 6 human Reincarnators!"
"Haha! No wonder you’re not afraid of us!"
"It seems you’re a Mage?"
"I remember there being only two Level 6 Mages on this continent. Are you the one they call Feize, or are you Izparut?"
Iz tilted his head. "You know quite a bit."
"Where did you learn that?"
At the same time, Iz’s gaze drifted downward. The organized and disciplined Demon legion... ’Interesting...’
These weren’t the actions of mindless Demons.
’But... why am I so famous among the Demons?’
Izparut didn’t quite understand.
"Heh heh, a human told us, of course!"
"He told us to attack Ruijia today because Ruijia has no truly powerful Level 6 Reincarnators. If we were to attack Lorren, however, we’d have to watch out for several exceptionally strong Reincarnators. In particular, a Warrior named Chi Cheng and a Mage named Izparut."
"He also said Izparut is Ruelun’s strongest Mage, and if we run into him, it’s best to retreat immediately."
"Hahaha! Ridiculous! A mere human thinks we should retreat!"
"Come on, tell me who you are! Are you Izparut or Feize?"
"If you’re Feize, killing you won’t be as satisfying."
"But if you’re Izparut, killing you will spread my fame far and wide!"
A faint smile touched Izparut’s lips. "Mm, I am Izparut."
"But there is one point I must correct..."
"I’m not Ruelun’s strongest Mage."
"I am the strongest Mage in the world."
Hearing Iz’s rebuttal, the three Demons in front of him were stunned. Then, the one in the middle burst out laughing, "Haha! Hahahaha!"
"Have you seen the whole world?!"
"You, the strongest in the world? They say you humans are ignorant, that your arrogance is foolish! And now I see it’s true!"
"Enough! Providing me with a few laughs in your final moments can be considered the crowning achievement of your pathetic life!"
"Now die!"
WHOOSH!
In an instant, it appeared behind Iz.
Its hands were already on either side of Iz’s skull, poised to crush it!
"Die!"
SPLAT!
Iz didn’t move an inch, but the Demon behind him froze completely.
Its head had shattered, completely gone.
"Hm."
"It’s true, you really haven’t seen the world..."
"But in my opinion, I am the world’s strongest Mage."
Confident and arrogant, without a trace of doubt.
The concept of "there’s always a higher mountain" simply didn’t exist in Iz’s mind.
He was the highest mountain of Magic.
If Lu Cang had to rate it, Iz’s humility regarding Magic was practically zero.
Why "practically"?
Because he would occasionally admit that his knowledge of certain magical subjects was merely scratching the surface.
"Boss!"
"You killed our boss! I’ll avenge him!"
"Human, die!"
Lu Cang quietly watched from the side.
’Such low-intelligence Demons...’
’If I saw a comrade of similar strength get killed right in front of me, I’d probably run away immediately.’
WHOOSH—
The pointy-headed Demon charged at Iz to kill him. WHOOSH! A great Flame erupted from its body!
It burst into Flame mid-sprint, and within just a few dozen meters, it was burned to ashes.
Only the last Demon was left, just as it was about to become enraged.
"Don’t move just yet."
As Iz spoke, the Demon found its body had been completely restrained.
It couldn’t move at all.
"You just said a human told you. Which human was it?"
This Demon, which had four arms and held two bone spikes, roared at Iz, "Human! Do you think I’ll tell you!"
Iz said, "If you tell me, I’ll let you go."
"Human! As if I’d—"
SCHLICK!
Before the words had even left its mouth, two of its arms were neatly severed, falling to the ground below.
Before Iz could continue his threat, he heard its cowardly voice, "Human! Wait!"
"Don’t kill me!"
’Heh, not an ounce of courage. He sure changed his tune fast.’
’Why wasn’t it scared when its two comrades just died? Does it have to feel the lash itself to know pain?’
