In this chaotic world, it all started when they found an elf girl.

Chapter 433 Welcome, Ais Wallenstein

After several months, Roy has finally reached LV.8!

Upgrading in the heat of battle is a great thing in any world, but it's different here. It's a reluctant choice with considerable risks.

After upgrading, all abilities will be enhanced, but due to differences in physical and mental states, the control over one's own power will decrease. Will one become stronger, or will one weaken oneself? It remains to be seen.

This is a huge gamble!

You either use the immense pressure from the tainted fairy essence to quickly master the power of LV.8, or you lose control of the power and become nothing more than a spectacle on the battlefield. It mainly depends on individual skill!

Roy stared ahead, having reached LV.8. He felt no joy, for the new enemy was far more powerful—the ultimate form of the tainted fairy. The brain, heart, and uterus were the three main organs that constituted this demon realm. The brain controlled the demon realm, the heart supplied magic to the entire realm and absorbed power from the dungeons, and finally, the uterus gave birth to the fetus responsible for slaughtering the invaders!

Black Maiden, Fairy Dragon... are all products of the Demon Realm's "Womb". Now, the opponent has brought out their last and strongest trump card - the incarnation of the Womb.

An existence known as the "Slaughtering Emperor"!

It was born from the power of countless immortal remnants, the Black Maiden, the Filthy Ice Dragon, and even the Immortal Dragon. The opponent's power level cast a heavy pressure on everyone. It was not as domineering as the Immortal Dragon, but it made people feel more dangerous, as if countless knives were held to their necks.

"Hahahahaha!"

A faint smile appeared on the exquisitely beautiful face of the Slaughtering Emperor, a face that blended holiness, filth, perfection, distortion, divinity, and demonic nature. There was no mockery! No disdain!

But her arrogance, transcending the level of human life and placing her above all living beings, was unmistakable. She was a celestial spirit, the species closest to divinity! "Scum, die!" The impatient cat-man was instantly enraged by the Slaughtering Spirit Emperor's contempt, letting out a furious and impatient roar. He had been watching Roy, Alphia, Finn, and the others deal with those filthy monsters, and could no longer contain himself. He finished his incantation, chanting eloquently. Gleneze Fromor!

Allen roared, his entire body erupting with blue-purple lightning that illuminated the entire dim demon realm, transforming into a silver chariot that raced forward madly! Apart from Roy, whose abilities exceeded their limits, the cat-man unleashing his full power was the "fastest in the city"!

After the spell was activated, speed was converted into destructive power. The charging chariot, having accumulated enough speed, possessed a power exceeding even Finn's astonishing second spell. Rumble! Rumble!!

The surrounding space echoed with a mournful sound of being crushed. The speed of the tank increased every second, and even Allen could not control it. He could only be swept up by this terrifying power and destroy everything in front of him.

Wherever the chariot passed, it stirred up a gale, cleaved the earth into abysses, tore the air apart, and anything that stood in its way, whether rock or green flesh remnant, was reduced to ashes the moment it made contact!

To avoid being caught in the crossfire, everyone retreated.

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, this all-destroying war chariot crashed into the Slaughtering Emperor.

"Aa ...

Allen's silver spear, brimming with the extreme sharpness to pierce mountains and boiling killing intent, aimed straight at the Slaughter Emperor's perfect yet chilling chest. In that instant, the Slaughter Emperor remained unfazed, casually raising his slender, snow-white hand.

"No way?!"

Upon seeing this, everyone's pupils constricted sharply, and a horrified scream rang out in their hearts at the same time.

boom!!

Finally, the unstoppable chariot collided violently with that seemingly delicate and boneless hand.

The terrifying explosion and energy shockwave engulfed everything. The entire space trembled violently, and the earth cracked and collapsed layer by layer like a fragile eggshell. The aftershocks spread for tens of kilometers and even to the entire building.

As the thick smoke and dust began to dissipate...

The horrifying scene presented to everyone was enough to freeze everyone's blood instantly.

The Slaughtering Emperor still stood in that spot, his snow-white jade hand pressed against the cat-man's forehead, effortlessly blocking the cat-man's shimmering chariot.

"ⅠⅠ"

Everyone stared wide-eyed, exclaiming, "Impossible!"

Haruhime's "Level Up" effect has not yet ended. LV.8 Allen uses magic, and the power he has accumulated is so great that even LV.9 beings have to be careful to deal with it. If they are not careful, they will be seriously injured or even killed.

The fact that they couldn't even budge the Killing Emperor can only mean that his ability level exceeds LV.9!

The cat-man's face turned extremely ugly. He flipped over and unleashed a powerful side kick.

"call!!"

The Slaughtering Emperor slightly parted his cherry-colored lips and exhaled a gentle breath forward. This breath struck Allen's chest and instantly transformed into a destructive storm.

"What!?" Allen was horrified as an irresistible, terrifying force slammed into him.

"Bang!"

A dull, groaning sound rang out as Allen completely lost control of his body, his vision blurring wildly backward.

The air was torn apart, emitting a shrieking sound.

Boom!!

Flying hundreds of meters backward, the cat-man's body slammed into the hard rock wall. The terrifying impact caused the entire rock wall to be covered with huge, spiderweb-like cracks centered on the point of impact, and rock fragments fell down.

"Pfft!" Allen's body was deeply embedded in the rock, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

For a moment, he was completely unable to move!

Those who witnessed this scene were shocked beyond measure; a chill ran down their spines, spreading from their feet to the top of their heads, making their scalps tingle. He blocked the flashing chariot with one hand and blasted away the LV.8 adventurer with a single breath, rendering him incapable of fighting!

What exactly is this Killing Emperor in front of us?

"Hahahahahaha!" The Slaughtering Emperor let out a melodious yet sinister laugh. His flawless body twisted and spun gracefully, as if performing a beautiful dance.

As she danced, the surrounding air surged, and terrifying gales converged wildly, forming a storm barrier that tore through space around her. "Gospel!"

"The Wind of Light!"

"Burning Flames!"

Sensing the danger, Alphia, Ryu, and Riveria acted simultaneously without hesitation.

An invisible sonic bombardment, countless emerald green orbs of light like stars falling from the sky, and a crimson flame dragon that incinerates everything—three earth-shattering attacks—overwhelmed and pressed down on the dancing Slaughter Emperor.

The scene was terrifying when those attacks touched the storm barrier of the Slaughtering Emperor.

Aside from Alphia's disappearing sonic bombardment, Ryu's Wind of Light and Riveria's Flame Dragon were all swept up in the storm. The storm turned crimson, mixed with green orbs of light.

"go."

The Slaughtering Emperor parted his lips slightly and uttered a soft whisper.

The emerald green orb and the crimson flame dragon, captured by the storm, carried an even more terrifying aura of destruction as they were swept by the gale and hurtled towards Ryu and Riveria.

The area is so vast that there is no way to avoid it!

Ryu and Riveria were startled, but the sharp sword light gave them a sense of security the next moment.

Afterglow + Overpowering Strike + Overpowering Light!!

Roy's figure appeared in front of the two in an instant, his dragon short sword flashing as it slashed fiercely into the surging storm. Boom!

The storm was forcibly torn open with a huge rift, the light sphere and the flame dragon were shattered, and the remaining sword light did not diminish in force, tearing a huge, bottomless chasm into the ground beneath their feet, which stretched wildly into the distance!

Roy said, "Be careful when using wind and fire magic; treat your enemies like powerful wind spirits!"

Ryu and Riveria suddenly realized.

The Wind of Light is a magic with both light and wind attributes. Wind can also guide fire. Using wind magic in front of the Great Wind Fairy is no different from showing off one's skills before an expert.

Roy's gaze lingered between the Slaughtering Spirit Emperor and the heart of the Devouring Ais. The absorption of Ryu's wind magic, capable of reverse manipulation, was likely nearing completion. At this moment, perhaps only the true Wind Fairy Arya, or a god wielding the power of wind, could surpass him in wind magic. "Die!"

The Slaughter Empress's gaze was icy, her jade-like fingers aimed at Roy, a gust of wind gathering at her crystal-clear fingertips. She hadn't forgotten that he had denied her paradise. Seeing the Slaughter Empress about to attack Roy, Finn, Grace, and Leon simultaneously sprang into action.

"Drink!"

Leon, charging at the forefront, roared, gripping his greatsword tightly with both hands. With the force of splitting the heavens and earth, he unleashed all his power and magic at the Slaughter Emperor. Facing the terrifying strike capable of cleaving mountains in two, the Slaughter Emperor maintained his elegant and eerie dance-like posture, his seemingly delicate hands gently resting against the terrifying blade of Leon's greatsword.

clang!

The expected carnage did not occur.

Leon felt as if his greatsword had struck an ancient, unmoving mountain; the immense force of the recoil split his hands and sent sharp pain through his arms. "Breakthrough to the Tenth Trial, Eleventh Trial!"

Leon gritted his teeth, his muscles bulged, and his magic surged to its peak as he frantically pressed downwards.

However, no matter how much power he increased, the indestructible greatsword remained unmoved, not even bending the opponent's snow-white fingers in the slightest. Even Leon at LV.9 couldn't budge his opponent!

"As expected, LV.10... plus the fact that the entire floor has been assimilated, the difficulty of defeating it is no less than that of the sea monster!" Leon's expression was extremely solemn. The "sea monster" that Leon was referring to was none other than the sea tyrant Leviathan! When Zeus and Hera's clan were fighting that monster in the past, he secretly slipped onto the ship and participated in the entire earth-shattering battle.

It deeply shocked his young mind.

The assimilated demon realm continuously provides magic power and heals the wounds of the Slaughtering Emperor. More importantly, the enemy is intelligent, making the difficulty of defeating him comparable to Leviathan!

A battle of heroes in the new era!

"roar!"

Grace's eyes were bloodshot, his muscles bulging, and he swung his massive battle axe, powerful enough to split mountains, fiercely aiming for the head of the Slaughter Emperor. The Slaughter Emperor grabbed Leon's greatsword with one hand, and his other small hand flashed out in a blur.

Bang!

The Killing Emperor's astonishing strength slammed into the side of the giant axe, causing Grace to tilt to the side.

Immediately afterwards, the Slaughter Emperor's slender leg shot out like lightning, striking Grace's heavy armor on his chest.

clang!

A deafening metallic explosion rang out, and Grace felt as if he had been struck head-on by a giant beast charging at full speed. The force of the attack surged into his chest, and he was thrown backward uncontrollably.

Grace's legs carved two deep furrows into the hard rock, stretching for tens of meters.

"What terrifying power!" Grace exhaled a heavy breath. As a dwarf, his strength and durability were among the best of all adventurers, but he felt powerless in the face of the Slaughtering Emperor.

Almost the instant Grace was knocked back.

Finn's figure moved with ghostly speed, attacking from the flank. The spear in his hand transformed into a cold, sharp glint, piercing towards the Killing Emperor with lightning speed.

The Slaughtering Emperor seemed to have foreseen this all along.

Her slender hand, which had just retracted, moved with astonishing speed, effortlessly pinching the serpentine spear tip between her index finger and thumb. Finn tried with all his might but couldn't pull the spear back.

"Roy, the rest is up to you! Demon spear, pierce my head and drink my blood!" Finn shouted with a forced smile.

The Fierce Demon Spear!

The spell activated, Finn's eyes turned bloodshot, and his entire body radiated a savage aura, devoid of his usual refinement. The power he channeled into his spear surged dramatically. Finn's first spell, Berserk, greatly enhanced all his abilities, but the accompanying surge in battle lust impaired his judgment—trading intelligence for power! Once this spell was used, he could no longer act as commander; all decisions had to be delegated to others.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Finn, Grace, and Leon launched a frenzied attack on the dancing figure.

A frenzied symphony of metal clashing and energy bursts.

The three men's attacks formed a tight, impenetrable net, but the Slaughtering Emperor remained calm and composed. With his graceful and agile movements, he struck out with his palm, effortlessly neutralizing all of their attacks.

The entire battlefield was engulfed by surging energy and the sounds of impact; the earth cracked beneath their feet in a suffocating, despair-filled battle. Roy remained uninvolved.

The reason lies in the impact brought about by the upgrade.

Roy glanced at the distance between himself and Ryu. He had used "Superior Transfer" to get there after helping Ryu and Riveria withstand the storm, but he was three meters away from the intended landing point. The difference between LV.7 and LV.8 was too great, and the impact was unprecedented.

With such a severe impact, Roy is unable to cooperate with others in combat. It would be fine if he faced the Killing Emperor alone, but the problem is... he can't beat him in a one-on-one fight, and ganging up on him would affect his teammates!

Roy decisively shifted his focus to the filthy fairy spirit's "brain" on the ceiling and the "heart" on the ground, the control and energy center of the demon realm. Destroying them would greatly weaken the power of the Slaughtering Spirit Emperor.

Only Roy can do this.

Not to mention that the brain and heart of the Filthy Fairy are protected by the LV.10 "Absolute Shield", anyone who tries to get close will be attacked by the Killing Fairy Emperor.

Roy whispered, "Rivia!"

Rivera turned her head, her gaze meeting Roy's. As if understanding the boy's needs, she dispelled her fairy transformation and tossed the elven holy sword at him. Upper Rank Transfer!

Roy caught the holy sword, and the spatial fluctuations engulfed his figure, making him appear next to the heart.

The Slaughter Queen toyed with the attacks from Finn, Leon, and others, but a large part of her attention was focused on Roy. She knew that the boy was the core of the team and the most threatening one.

"You dare!"

Upon seeing Roy's target pointed directly at the "heart" that served as the energy core, the Killing Emperor, who had always been as calm and undisturbed as a deep pool, showed a clear emotional fluctuation on his exquisite face for the first time.

That was the chilling rage of someone whose sore spot had been touched!

With a level 10 defense shield protecting his brain and heart, the Slaughter Emperor wouldn't care if anyone else approached, but Roy was different. This young man would create a miracle!

She moved!

Gone were the graceful dance steps; her figure transformed into a distorted, spatial blur, hurtling towards Roy at a breathtaking speed. "Don't even think about it!"

A collective roar of utter despair erupted, and Finn, Grace, and Leon's eyes widened in fury.

At this critical moment of life and death, they unleashed unprecedented power.

Finn's spear was like a poisonous dragon piercing through the void, Grace's giant axe roared with the fury of shattering mountains, and Leon's greatsword drew a sword beam that tore through the eternal night. The three astonishing attacks intercepted and killed the Emperor of Slaughter.

A hint of impatience flashed in the eyes of the Slaughtering Emperor.

No longer playing around like before, the Slaughtering Emperor's hands transformed into countless afterimages as she slapped out, muffled sounds echoing continuously, and all attacks were deflected by her.

boom! boom! boom!

Immediately following were three heavy blows, too fast to react to, which landed heavily on the chests of Finn and his two companions.

"Ugh!"

Finn, Grace, and Leon let out painful groans, their sternums cracking with a terrifying sound, blood gushing out, their bodies uncontrollably transforming into three streaks of lightning, flying hundreds of meters backward.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

They crashed heavily into the distant rock face, creating three huge, human-shaped craters. Rock shattered, and the three were trapped inside, coughing up blood violently. "Roar!"

Transformed into a towering, celestial fox, Chun Ji roared furiously, raising her mountain-like claws and striking at the Slaughtering Emperor with the formidable power of LV.9. The Slaughtering Emperor raised his right leg; his slender calf was insignificant in the shadow of the giant claw. With a light upward slash, the air was compressed and exploded. "Boom!"

A deafeningly loud bang.

The mountain-like giant claw was forcefully kicked upwards, and the celestial fox let out a mournful cry as its massive body lost its balance. The celestial fox opened its blood-red maw, and the gathered demonic energy formed a wave of light, causing the space to tremble.

"snort!"

With a wave of his hand, the Slaughtering Emperor unleashed a whirlwind.

The giant celestial fox was swept away by the gale and flew backward, crashing straight into the wall before falling to the ground with a thud!

"Cough! Cough!"

In the dim light, Chun Ji returned to normal, crimson blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushing from her mouth and nose, her breath instantly weakening to its lowest point. It wasn't that she was incapable, but rather that the enemy was too powerful.

Flame and Glory, Fading Light!

Liu gathered all his strength and unleashed a condensed sword light, its sharp gleam tearing through the air.

But all of this is futile in the face of absolute power!

With a forceful grip of his five fingers, the sword light shattered like fragile glass.

Tione, like a raging lioness, charged forward recklessly, her furious iron fist aimed fiercely at the beautiful yet cold face of the Slaughter Emperor. In response, the Slaughter Emperor simply raised his hand and slapped it away.

Snapped!

Tiony's fist cracked with a sharp sound as he was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.

Whether it's LV.8 or LV.9, they are no match for this incarnation of the demon realm!

All attacks and all obstructions were crushed like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. This despairing gap in strength was like an abyss staring at dust! However, there was no dejection on the faces of the crowd.

They are buying time for Roy.

"drink!!"

Thanks to everyone's tenacity, Roy gained a brief but precious moment. His eyes flashed with cold light, and with the Dragon Short Blade in one hand and the Elven Holy Sword in the other, the two swords transformed into a destructive light curtain that tore through the void!

The skill "Afterglow" can be combined with abilities such as "Overpowering Strike" and "Overpowering Light".

Countless slashes rained down on the absolute shield protecting the corrupted heart.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

A continuous, terrifying roar resounded.

Ten... a hundred... a thousand... In an extremely short time, Roy's arms and sword blades transformed into countless afterimages, and countless sword lights, like a raging rainstorm, exploded into countless dazzling spots of light on the surface of the shield.

This is simply a pure release of violence, requiring little skill, and it can even help Roy adapt to the power.

And develop the "combo" capability, activate!

With continuous attacks, Roy's stats and attack power will keep increasing, exceeding the limit!

Rumble!!

A terrifying shockwave raged wildly, and the entire depths of the Demon Realm trembled and wailed violently under Roy's continuous slashes. The earth cracked and space distorted! Finally, at the center of the endless storm of sword light.

"Crack!"

A crisp, piercing crack, like ice shattering, appeared on the surface of the seemingly indestructible shield, revealing a massive spiderweb-like crack! Countless fragments disintegrated amidst the deafening explosion.

"Roy!!"

Just as the shield shattered, the Slaughtering Emperor returned, letting out a furious shriek.

Having just defeated Finn, Leon, and others, the Killing Emperor unleashed a terrifying killing intent that tore apart souls. Her fist, covered in sacred characters, carrying the terrifying wind pressure that could crush stars and the absolute power to solidify space, slammed towards Roy's back!

Wherever the fist passed, space collapsed inch by inch!

Transfer to a higher position!

Just as the Slaughter Emperor's fist was about to strike, a spatial fluctuation resembling water ripples engulfed Roy's figure.

The attack missed its target!

The Slaughtering Emperor's fist shattered everything in its path, all the way to the wall at the end of the floor. The terrifying power fully demonstrated the strength of LV.10, but her mood was extremely bad.

Spatial magic?! Why does such a thing exist?! The Slaughter Emperor's eyes were bloodshot.

The next instant, Roy appeared on the other side of the tainted heart that had lost its shield.

Roy's twin swords unleashed an "x"-shaped beam of light.

"Sizzle!"

The Dragon Blade pierced the armor, the Holy Sword unleashed its special attack; the cold sword light tore open the enormous heart, a horrifying wound bursting open, and filthy blood gushed out like a burst dam. Roy paid no heed to the filthy blood, his large hand reaching deep into the still-beating heart.

Upon touching something cool and soft, Roy's fingers tightened abruptly, grasping a delicate, trembling little hand and pulling it outward. The next moment...

A dazzling golden light emanated from that filthy heart, and a stunningly beautiful blonde girl descended to earth once more.

With a face as beautiful as a goddess, her delicate body appeared in the soft light, pure and holy.

Roy said, "Welcome back, Ais!"

Ais slowly raised her head, her bright golden eyes regaining their clear brilliance. She stared blankly at the boy in front of her, at Roy's face, which was so close to her, filled with determination and weariness.

His pale lips were slightly pursed, as if he wanted to say something, but the words stuck in his throat.

On that exquisitely beautiful yet slightly haggard face, complex emotions surged like a tide: the joy of being reborn, the emotion of escaping from suffering, and a deep-seated feeling that was about to overflow.
