Chapter 545: Yecheng: I'm Unaware of My Own Plans
"Night God Style One - Broken Waterfall!"
A blue crescent-shaped slash erupted, rapidly expanding as it cut through the wind, reaching a staggering hundred meters in size by the time it approached Shatiya.
Shatiya, instead of withstanding the strike, utilized 'High-Class Teleportation' to move into mid-air, avoiding Yecheng's sweeping slash.
The attack, losing its primary target, swept across the ground, instantly bisecting nearly a thousand low-level demons in its path.
Indeed, with just a single slash, the densely packed demon army was decimated, leaving a vast cleared area.
Witnessing this scene, the Kingdom's forces, who had lost confidence due to Geoff and Brian's previous defeats, momentarily stunned, erupted into an astonishing cheer.
Seeing Shatiya's evasive maneuver, Yecheng also leaped into the air, his powerful legs creating a large crater on the ground as he pursued her with exaggerated agility.
From Yecheng's sudden attack to Shatiya's decision to avoid confrontation, and then Yecheng's rapid pursuit, only a few seconds had passed.
By the time everyone reacted, the area was littered with the dismembered remains of demons.
Brian, observing the two figures clashing in the sky and the shockwaves rippling with each collision, exclaimed to Kleim, who was supporting him, "The third extraordinary powerhouse after Shatiya and Sebas-sama...
Humans can indeed reach such heights of power!"
Brian, previously overwhelmed by Shatiya, had believed that humans were inherently inferior to the other powerful races in this world.
Just as goblins and dragons had an absolute racial disparity, even the strongest goblin in the world would be but a mere appetizer in a dragon's eyes.
Compared to most races in this world, humans had shorter lifespans, inferior physical abilities, and lacked exceptional racial talents.
After encountering Shatiya, Brian had thought that humans, weak and powerless, could only helplessly become playthings or food for such formidable dark creatures.
However, since meeting Sebas and witnessing Yecheng's ongoing battle with Shatiya, Brian finally understood that his limitations were self-imposed.
Humans were not inherently feeble; while they might lack innate advantages, they possessed the greatest potential and possibilities.
As Sebas had once said, as long as one had something to protect or a goal to achieve, even the weakest among them could unleash unimaginable power.
Brian was unaware of how Sebas and Yecheng had become so strong, but he was certain of one thing—such power came from experiencing countless trials.
If they could attain such strength, then he, as a fellow human, could strive for the same.
Fueled by this conviction, Brian roared and charged towards the demon army.
Inspired by his determination, the adventurers and soldiers of the Kingdom's forces mustered their final courage and clashed head-on with the demon army!
"Demon Ensemble·Tentacle Wings!"
Countless black, horn-like objects erupted from Dimius' wings, raining down like a dark storm.
Amidst the dense barrage of arrows, an invisible barrier blocked them before they could even touch Yecheng's body.
From the ground, it seemed as though Yecheng was only facing Shatiya in battle, but they were unaware that he was actually fighting two opponents—not just Shatiya but also the demon Adabao, a familiar figure to them.
As for the other "Adabao" performing with the Squirrel, Yecheng instantly recognized her as Pandora's Actor, the Crown Prince of the Nascillian Necropolis and a fellow High-Tier Double Caster.
Demiurgos, the mastermind behind this plan, was prepared to atone for his deception of the Supreme Sovereign.
"Demiurgos, you should know that I'm furious right now.
Aside from Naberal, I've always considered you, created by a friend, as my own children.
Given your dark nature, I understand your lack of affection for the weak and your absence of a clear moral compass. However, I expect you to have a basic sense of decency.
Otherwise, I won't hesitate to teach a lesson to those who have strayed from the path."
Due to Yecheng's intervention, the captured civilians have been almost entirely released, thanks to the efforts of Sebas and Pestonia, two of the few NPCs in the Nascillian Necropolis with positive justice values.
Sebas, influenced by his creator, Takumi, couldn't stand by while people needed help.
Pestonia, the dog-headed maid, had once risked her life to defy orders and save a human child captured by Demiurgos.
After being scolded by Yecheng, the Squirrel chose to compromise, releasing the kingdom's commoners and instead capturing the noble captives.
Feeling guilty for changing his stance and letting down Demiurgos's plan, the Squirrel made up an excuse, claiming it was a better strategy he had discussed with Yecheng.
The guilt-ridden Squirrel was surprised to find that Demiurgos wasn't discouraged at all. Instead, after a moment of thought, he seemed to have an epiphany.
The Squirrel didn't know what Little Dee had imagined, but seeing that Demiurgos wasn't opposed to the change and didn't show any resentment, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Deceiving the Supreme Sovereign is an unforgivable sin. I, Demiurgos, acted foolishly without understanding Yecheng's true intentions, nearly disrupting his plans. I deserve to die!
I came here prepared to offer my life as atonement to Lord Anz.
I know that the mistakes I've made cannot be rectified by mere death, so I will accept any punishment, even if it means being executed by you in the end."
Yecheng: ( ), What is all this about? Why don't I know about this plan of mine? What did the Squirrel tell Little Dee, and what has this brainy guy imagined now?
