Betrayed by the Succubus, I Raise a Twelve-winged Angel

Chapter 367 - 368: The Source of Demonic Qi!

Although they had long heard that Aster Grant’s power is now incredibly strong, even surpassing Zane Drake.

But only after witnessing it with their own eyes did they realize...

Aster Grant’s power is stronger than they imagined!

Capable of instantly resolving thousands of members of the Demon Clan.

This kind of strength...

Has already infinitely approached Totem Level.

Aster saw the three just staring at him blankly, and not responding. He thought they were seriously injured in the recent battle, so he asked again:

"Are you okay? How are your injuries?"

Upon hearing Aster’s voice again, the three slowly came back from their shock.

"We’re fine! Just overly exhausted, minor superficial injuries, nothing serious," Bianca Shelby hurriedly replied.

Hearing the three’s response, Aster finally relaxed.

Then, he slowly turned around, his calm gaze fell upon the only remaining threat in the scene—

The leader of the Demon Beast exuding Totem-level pressure.

However, when Aster saw the detailed information of this Demon Clan, his eyebrows involuntarily furrowed slightly.

Totem Tier One!

It’s important to know...

Except in the Demon Domain, it is practically impossible to encounter Totem-level Demon Clan elsewhere.

Moreover, another point is the dense level of Demonic Qi in this place...

Incredible!

Even if this was the former lair of the Nine-Hells Centipede King, a place where Demonic Qi gathers, it would be absolutely impossible to reach the current concentration which is nearly liquified and continuously increasing.

There must be something he hasn’t noticed!

At this moment, the Totem-level demon beast leader was enraged, seeing this suddenly appeared human dare to completely ignore its existence!

It let out a deafening roar, its massive body charged with overwhelming Demonic Qi, rushing towards Aster, seemingly intent on crushing this insignificant ant!

Witnessing this scene, Aster was once again convinced of his speculation.

This Totem-level Demon Clan was entirely different from the Totem-level Demon Clan faced before.

Its eyes revealed no intelligence, only pure destructive desire.

"Vera, bind it!"

Noticing the anomaly of this Demon Clan, Aster decided not to kill it yet.

And upon hearing Aster’s command, Vera immediately began to act.

Even though the opponent was Totem-level, it was still insignificant before the full strength of Vera.

Countless, thicker, emerald-green vines infused with the Law of Life broke through the earth, instantly entwining and tightly binding the ferocious Demon Beast leader.

No matter how it struggled and roared, the vines remained unmoved, instead becoming tighter, holding it firmly to the ground.

Aster stepped forward to meticulously investigate this bound Demon Clan.

He could sense the continuous influx of Demonic Qi into the body of this Demon Clan.

But after observing for quite some time, he couldn’t ascertain where this Demonic Qi originated from.

Aster then turned his head and asked the three, "Did you notice anything unusual when you entered here?"

Under Aster’s questioning, the three began to slowly recall.

"Speaking of special places... When we first entered, it seemed as if the Demonic Qi wasn’t emanating from a single point, rather it was..."

"Seemingly penetrating out of every inch of land, every rock in the entire mountain range!"

"Yes, exactly like that, ubiquitous and seemingly getting thicker."

The entire mountain range emitting Demonic Qi?!

Bianca’s words flashed like lightning through Aster’s mind.

He immediately focused his perception and indeed discovered, just during his brief investigation of the Demon Beast leader, the surrounding concentration of Demonic Qi had increased again!

And the bound Demon Clan leader, after absorbing this newly surged Demonic Qi, had obviously gained a few more degrees of strength in its struggles!

Aster quickly raised his head, his sharp gaze sweeping over the undulating mountain range before him, concentrating his spirit.

[Nine-Hells Centipede King’s Habitat]

[Description: Alternate Space Mountain Range]

[Mutation: Mountain Range connects to Demon Abyss, Demonic Qi begins to infiltrate Alternate Space]

Seeing this line of description, Aster’s brows furrowed slightly.

This mountain range has actually connected to the Demon Abyss.

The Demon Abyss is indeed the home turf of Demon Clan!

The reason Demon Clan cannot completely occupy Alternate Space right now is because a set of ten seals blocks the passage between the Demon Abyss and Alternate Space.

And this place is connected to that dangerous location.

This is troublesome!

If it isn’t dealt with, allowing it to develop...

The consequences could be unimaginable!

But for now, the only good news is, Demon Clan in the Alternate Space hasn’t discovered this.

Thinking this, Aster instantly made up his mind.

This place must be sealed!

Then, he turned to look at Bianca and the others, "Stay safe! I’ll have Vera flatten this mountain range!"

Bianca Shelby: "???"

Veronica Vero: "???"

Cecilia: "???"

What is this?

Flatten the entire mountain range?

Is this even humanly possible?

However, Aster Grant wasn’t joking.

To seal this place, he must find where the source of the Demonic Qi leakage is.

Sealing the entire mountain range is completely impossible.

Even with Vera’s current power, she must go all out to flatten this mountain range.

"Vera!" Aster Grant shouted sharply.

"Understood, Master!" Vera got the hint, instantly entering combat mode.

A brilliant green light surged around her, her Life Spirit Form fully unfolded, first receiving a huge boost in Basic Attributes!

However.

This was merely the beginning.

Aster Grant’s eyes sharpened.

"Link—Activate!"

Breathtaking spiritual power along with various attribute enhancements streamed across space, pouring into Vera’s body.

"Soul-devouring—Activate!"

The effect of this skill was simple yet violent, instantly doubling all attribute boosts Vera received!

"Divine Pattern—Awaken!"

The three Divine Patterns were complete.

Aster Grant could easily activate the Divine Patterns within the Beastbond using this power.

Bringing nearly a million boosts.

Under all these enhancements, Vera’s attributes reached an extraordinarily terrifying level.

Nearly thirty million!

This was the nearly full extent of strength Aster Grant could showcase at this moment!

With the support of this vast power, Vera’s aura became like an endless ocean, unfathomable.

She hovered in the air, her green hair flowing without wind, her eyes shimmering with the light of Law, as if the embodiment of nature and life.

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Vera, enough to change the color of the skies, the people below, including Bianca Shelby, were completely stupefied.

They could clearly perceive that the foundation enabling Vera to unleash such catastrophic power was entirely rooted in the black-clad youth standing quietly beside them—

Aster Grant.

At this moment, in their eyes, Aster Grant was akin to a deity.

The Succubus beside Bianca Shelby revealed a trace of envy in her eyes.

Though now she was completely loyal to Bianca Shelby.

Nonetheless, seeing Aster Grant now, a trace of envy was still visible in her eyes.

If she hadn’t betrayed Aster Grant back then...

Would she too be able to enjoy everyone’s admiration, shining brilliantly like this Elf?

But.....

There is no medicine for regret in this world.

She silently bowed her head, burying her emotions deep within.

In the air, Vera’s aura had condensed to its peak.

Her powerful spiritual power flowed like an invisible tide, quickly covering the entire vast mountain range.

Immediately afterward, she activated her talent ability, enhanced by fusion with part of the Swarm King’s power—Life Absorption!

Buzz!

An invisible wave spread from her center.

Instantly, the entire mountain range, whether plants, hidden insect beasts, or even the mountain’s own weak Earth Pulse vitality.....

Was forcibly extracted.

In almost the blink of an eye, the mountain range that used to hold some vitality turned completely dead and gray, its Life Force plundered completely!

A sea of Life Force wildly gathered and compressed in front of Vera, eventually coalescing into a towering and colossal Elf Illusion.

This illusion was initially somewhat blurred, but as Life Force kept flowing in, it swiftly solidified.

When the last strand of Life Force merged, the enormous Elf Illusion slowly lifted its arm of pure Life Energy, aiming at the mountain below.

In the next moment—

Rumble!!!

The earth let out groans of unbearable strain, beginning to tremble violently.

Under Bianca Shelby and the others’ gaze, shocked to the extreme, the entire vast mountain range spanning several thousand square kilometers actually...

Started to rise off the ground, lifting entirely upwards!
