Ilyon town is not actually the closest place to the initial border between the devil territory and the Doria Empire. There is another place the devils have already passed through to reach Ilyon. the fortress town of Falanis. This town, which fell under devil control after being attacked several times during the initial phase of the invasion, has become their new buffer zone before orthodox cultivators can reach the devil territory.Before the invasion, people could clearly see the devil territory from this town, as the sky above the devil territory was blood-red and ominous, even from a distance. However, since the devils took control of this place, the red sky has started to move, and now part of it hovers directly above the town. The ominous atmosphere has also grown so intense that mortals without any cultivation risk being driven insane just by staying there.Thick negative energy has already started to manifest in this town, gradually shaping it into a place that supports devil c

After Aldrian sent the prisoners back to their designated destination, they were shocked to find themselves already in their own town. Many of them began crying out in joy. As they looked towards the devil’s territory—more specifically, the direction of Sazim Fortress—they started kowtowing in that direction."Thank you, thank you," many voices resounded throughout the two towns.In Ilyon, the First and Second Fingers that Aldrian had asked to come had already arrived, accompanied by some people from the Vicanti to help arrange the town’s security. They also received information from Pavilion Master Arson Vuran regarding Aldrian’s orders, which granted them access to the Pavilion’s connections within the Doria Empire. As skilled assassins, they naturally had some ties inside the Rivas Grand Duchy. Using these connections, they pulled some strings to have mercenaries and adventurers assist in guarding and cleaning the town.They also provided the Rivas family with information about Ily

The Lust Devil felt a horrifying sense of death emanating from the black energy that appeared on Aldrian’s hand—something he had never experienced before."What is that?! It’s something that can even affect my soul! What kind of energy is this?!" He felt as if his soul could be sucked in by the black energy, his mental state shaken by its presence. He had experience dealing with necromancers; in fact, one of the Seven Deadly Sins specialized in summoner-type abilities and could control corpses like a necromancer. He had sensed the aura of death from them before. But this black energy was on a completely different level—it was as if he were standing before ’Death’ itself. No other sensation accompanied it; it was pure, unrelenting ’Death.’Aldrian clenched his hand into a fist and attempted to punch the Lust Devil in the abdomen. However, the Lust Devil wasn’t about to let that ominous energy touch him. He swung the chain to the side, both to block the incoming punch and to create room

The people Aldrian saved in Ilyon Town gaze at the golden light pillar reaching high into the sky before it falls in the direction of the eastern side. From afar, they hear only a rumbling sound, a sign that something significant has occurred in the region where the Sazim Fortress is located. All of them conclude that their savior is battling someone and can only pray for his safety.The people of Vicanti could also see the golden pillar rising on the horizon. Many were curious and wondered what it was, but a group of onlookers stationed atop the town wall watched it with particular fascination. The sight of the golden light piercing through the clouds and reaching the boundless sky was both beautiful and awe-inspiring to them.When the golden pillar descended to the land, creating a distant rumbling sound, they immediately realized it was the sign of a battle. The brilliance of the golden light and the distinctiveness of the technique left no doubt in their minds—there was only one p
