Gyah!

Gerald let out a terrified screech.

Its because Shien had finally started moving toward him.

Dont come! Dont come!

Gerald is unbelievably terrified. He looked at the scraps of flesh and blood surrounding him, remembered the scene of the people around him exploding one after another, and was driven completely mad. He cried pitifully with tears and snot running down his face as he tried to crawl backwards.

Shien however acted as if he didnt hear Gerald at all. He just continued forward until he arrived before Gerald and looked down at the noble covered in blood, tears, and snot, before suddenly raising his foot and viciously stomping down.

Snap!

With a shattering sound, one of Geralds feet was mercilessly crushed by Shien.

Gaahhhh!

Gerald screamed out in pain. The sound of it was so heart-wrenching that even the members of Vivians party started shuddering.

Shien however didnt care one bit. He just lifted his leg again and viciously stomped down onto Geralds other foot.

Snap!

A shattering sound once again rang out. Now both of Geralds legs were broken and bent in twisted angles.

The pain of it naturally made Gerald scream, cry, and beg for mercy even more.

Shien continued to ignore those cries though. He didnt soften the slightest and, with two more stomps, crushed both of Geralds hands as well.

That scene would definitely terrify any kid who saw it as well as give girls nightmares.

Lumia and Melika couldnt bare to watch anymore.

Vivian visibly reacted, but she didnt say anything.

They might be kind, but theyre not naive. Even if they found it unbearable and pitiful, they wont try to stop Shien either.

After all, the person in question had nearly killed Diere. They had also doggedly pursued them for three whole days now. After all that, no one who doesnt have something wrong with their head would easily forgive their tormentor.

Thus, although the members of Vivians party found Shien a bit scary, none of them sympathized with Gerald either, nor would they think that Shien had gone too far.

Its a bit cruel, so the girls wouldnt be able to do it themselves, but that doesnt mean that theyre unwilling to let it happen.

Thus, while Vivians party wont find Gerald receiving his just deserts particularly enjoyable, they do still find it understandable.

As for Airi, as she personally witnessed all this, she ended up blinking in response.

How vicious. Airi showed a small smile, But I like it.

It seems that rather than giving Airi a bad impression, Shiens utter lack of mercy instead made her find him even more suited to her tastes.

Here and now, Shien not only shattered Geralds four limbs, he even crushed his ribs, making his screams turn weaker and weaker.

Mercy Mercy

Gerald was still begging for mercy even now.

Unfortunately for him

As someone who never considered offering mercy yourself, what right do you have to ask others for mercy?

Shien finally spoke up.

I wont bother lecturing you about morality, its not like a parasite like you would understand anyway.

Thus, Ill just tell you in a way that even you can understand.

Unfortunately for you, you messed up and provoked the wrong guy.

Go repent for it in the afterlife.

Shien raised his foot for the last time before finally slamming it down onto Geralds chest.

Snap!

Following the clearest crack up to now, Geralds ribs were crushed by Shiens foot and his entire chest collapsed inward.

Geralds eyes bulged out, filled with desperation for life along with boundless regret.

Then, the last vestiges of Geralds life completely disappeared.

All the people who had been trying to kill Vivians party were thus annihilated.

Only then did Shien finally return to how he originally was and headed over to the girls side.

You guys alright?

Shien helped Vivian up and looked Lumia and Melika over as he lightly asked.

Were fine. Vivian shook her head before focusing her attention on Shien as she smiled, Thankfully, you came.

Shien ended up showing a bitter grin at that.

However, at that moment, Melikas voice suddenly rang out.

Mister Shien!

With that sobbing cry, the figure of a girl dove into Shiens arms.

Shien was slightly surprised by that. Only a moment later did he realize that the person who was hugging him was Melika.

Youve come. Thank goodness

Melika just held onto Shien and cried with joy like she didnt even realize anything abnormal with what shes doing.

Cough

Shien immediately started to turn somewhat awkward.

Vivian immediately shot a teasing glance from the side.

Shien just felt even more embarrassed as time went on, so he hurriedly patted Melikas back and tried to comfort her.

Sorry Im late. Thank goodness you guys are alright.

Shiens attempt at comforting her was instead just returned by Melika shaking her head.

As for Melikas hands, they havent let go from start to end.

This made Shien rather uncertain about just what he should do.

Until

Diere! Diere! Whats happening to you!?

Lumias sobbing cries suddenly rang out.

Everyones heart clenched at that and hurriedly looked over.

With that look, everyone discovered that Diere hasnt woken up even now. She was being held by Lumia the whole time, and despite Lumia constantly shaking her, she still hasnt awoken.

What happened to her?

Shiens face dropped at the sight. After Melika let go, he hurried over to Lumias side and took hold of Diere.

When he grabbed her though, Shien nearly pushed Diere away right away.

So hot!

Thats right. Dieres body was incredibly hot, to the point where Shein felt like he was holding lava.

Plus, Dieres aura was also turning chaotic and her magic power started gradually flowing out.

Shiens expression shifted again.

It because, to his senses, the magic power erupting out of Diere had a kind of evil, dark, and spooky feeling.

This feeling is as if something terrifying is awakening, giving Shien a bad feeling about it.

It cant be!

Nearby, the worried Vivian seemed like she thought of something and reacted with alarm.

Seeing that, Shien tried to ask right away, but he was interrupted by a voice.

Danger! Dodge!

That voice came from up in midair.

Airi, who was still floating in midair, had originally intended on coming down, but she seemed to have noticed Dieres abnormality and, with a frown, looked on over. Only now did she suddenly visibly react and shout out a warning.

Shien wasnt able to react in time.

A hand had already grabbed his shoulder.

Diere?

Shiens pupils shrunk.

Within his arms, Dieres hood fell off, exposing her half masked face to Shiens eyes.

Of course, thats not the important part.

Whats important is that Shien clearly saw it.

At some unknown point, a pitch black horn had grown out from Dieres forehead.

Diere then raised her head and opened her eyes.

Those pair of eyes were bloody red.

Rip!

The next moment, a tearing sound rang out.

A spray of blood flew into the air, making everyones hearts tremble.
