Chapter 251: What can you do about it? Chapter 251: What can you do about it? “Roar!”
In the desolate canyon, ferocious howls suddenly erupted and echoed through the air.
One by one, creatures with sharp teeth, resembling werewolves with blood-red eyes and lethal claws, charged in one direction.
With the sound of a slash ringing out, a streak of sword light flashed by at extreme speed, bisecting a werewolf that was sprinting in the lead, splattering a rain of crimson blood.
“Splat!” “Splat!” “Splat!”
Shane stood his ground, holding the Holy Sword, and swung his sharp blade at the onslaught of incoming werewolves, slaughtering them one by one, turning them into severed limbs and fragmented bodies, which fell around him and gradually stained the earth red.
Yet, despite seeing their companions being so effortlessly massacred by Shane, the werewolves weren’t afraid; instead, they became even more ferocious, their eyes turning redder, making them surge forward relentlessly, nearly engulfing Shane’s body.
“Granting Explosion.”
An immense magic power rose from within the werewolf pack, merging with the air, causing the temperature to skyrocket rapidly, and then, as if the air itself expanded and burst, it exploded in every direction.
A spectacular air explosion occurred right in the middle of the werewolf pack, sending countless werewolves flying, injuring, and even killing many, with blood spraying everywhere.
For a moment, the bodies of the werewolves fell like trash from the sky.
Before long, all werewolves lay in pools of blood, not one able to rise again.
Shane remained standing in place, still holding the Holy Sword, without a scratch on him. Yet, he frowned deeply, looking at the corpses scattered across the ground, his eyes filled with confusion.
It was then that Ai Yi nonchalantly walked up from behind.
Upon closer inspection, there were no creatures where Ai Yi had come from.
However, there, a large splash of glaring blood spread out, indicating the fate that had befallen the creatures that had dared to approach this charming girl.
Their end was much more gruesome than that of the creatures on Shane’s side; they were completely obliterated on the spot, vaporized, leaving only the bloodstains behind.
Shane saw that, from beginning to end, Ai Yi had merely blown air at those werewolves, and they were each vaporized by her scorching breath.
That searing breath, Shane recognized it.
What could it be, if not Dragon Breath?
“F**k, she really is a little Demon Dragon.”
Shane was utterly astounded.
Although the Dragon Breath Ai Yi used wasn’t as powerful as that of the half-human half-centipede creature, it was incredibly condensed, as if compressing thousands, even tens of thousands of degrees of heat into that tiny breath, enough to melt even Divine Steel on contact, right?
And Ai Yi clearly was just casually exhaling, not at all like the half-human half-centipede creature that had to use its entire magic power to summon Dragon Breath. The ease with which she seemed to evaporate countless werewolves, as natural as breathing, was truly chilling.
Yet, compared to this, there was something else Shane was more concerned about.
Ai Yi evidently felt the same, the reason she had come to ask Shane if he had noticed.
Of course, Shane had noticed.
“These creatures are too abnormal,” Shane said, puzzled. “They kept charging in that berserk state nonstop, completely disregarding the sight of their companions being easily slaughtered. It’s just too strange.”
It seemed that the rumors on the outside were true.
The creatures in Artlu Canyon had indeed become very aggressive and dangerous, completely disregarding their own safety in their relentless, death-defying attacks.
To any ordinary adventurer, that scene would be an absolute nightmare.
Ai Yi, however, spoke up indifferently.
“They are afraid of something, terror-stricken, driven to such desperation that they’ve become .”
Ai Yi had figured out the abnormal behavior of the creatures.
“Fear… Terror… Driven into a corner… huh?”
Indeed, seeing those creatures falling one after another, it was less a rampage and more a resignation, seeking only a swift death.
How had a mere demon been pushed to this point? What on earth had happened?
“Is it related to that half-human half-centipede monster?”
However, Ai Yi answered his question.
“Most likely,” Ai Yi said sarcastically. “It’s always the same method. I’m sick of watching it.”
This girl clearly knew something already.
“Can you explain it so that I can understand a little?”
“Forget it,” Ai Yi snorted. “I’ve said before, it’s the Demon Clan’s shame and shouldn’t be spread. You’re better off not knowing.”
The girl still seemed unwilling to explain.
“You know what I hate most? People like you who play coy at crucial moments!” Shane complained. “For the story’s sake, could you please spoil a little bit?”
It was time to reveal a new plot element, wasn’t it?
But instead, she kept the mystery, which would have made a terribly written novel.
“Aren’t you the one who’s been speaking unintelligibly?” Ai Yi wrinkled her nose. “Stop your babbling and let’s get moving.”
With that, Ai Yi started walking forward.
“Oh?” Shane paused, then quickly followed, asking curiously, “Weren’t you lacking enthusiasm just a moment ago? Why the sudden change?”
“Do you think I want to?” Ai Yi said sourly. “Originally, I had left this matter to others, but now that I’ve come across it myself, it would be irresponsible of the Demon Clan not to resolve it while I can.”
“That serious?” Shane blinked. “Alright then, it’s good that you’re being proactive.”
“Don’t expect me to put my heart and soul into the affairs of those little girls,” Ai Yi said calmly. “I only want to take care of the abnormal core. The rest is up to you.”
“Great, you’re still lacking enthusiasm,” Shane smacked his lips. “Forget it, I hadn’t put much hope in you, anyway. You’re just a little brat who likes to be willful and contrary. You can’t be expected to be as sensible as an adult.”
Ai Yi stopped in her tracks.
Shane stopped as well.
They stared at each other, eyes wide with anger.
“… I can’t pretend I didn’t hear that.”
“What’s the big deal?”
“Dare call me a child, do you know what you’re in for by doing so?”
“What’s the big deal, huh?”
“Don’t test my patience. I can get so fierce that even my sisters get scared.”
“So what are you going to do?”
With a moment of silence, Shane and Ai Yi began to distance themselves from each other.
They were preparing for a confrontation.
Just as they were about to settle the score, suddenly a very subtle movement occurred.
Both Shane and Ai Yi felt something and stopped their squabble.
The next instant, Magic Power surged out.
