Lu Cang marveled at the sheer stupidity of the Demons.

"Tell me, and I won’t kill you."

"Also, tell me about your plan to invade Ruijia. Who’s behind it, and what is the plan."

Iz spoke evenly.

"It was a fellow calling himself Meng Ke! He gave us the plan! He has a beard, his skin is white, and he’s a male!"

"Any other features?"

"I don’t remember! You humans all look the same, that’s all I remember!"

Iz nodded.

’For a moron, it’s actually impressive that it remembered the guy’s gender, beard, and the name he used.’

’But this little bit of information...’

’Sigh, he most likely used a fake name. A beard can be shaved off or stuck on. Even the gender... it’s hard to be sure.’

’But at least it’s something to go on.’

"Tell me the plan."

"The intelligence and the plan for the invasion all came from Meng Ke. He suddenly appeared at our Nest Cave and said he wanted to see its master. He drew up a plan to invade the Human Race Continent! And he said he was willing to open a passage for us!"

"We talked it over with him and didn’t see any problems, so we finalized the plan and came over!"

"It was that simple!"

’So they really decided just like that, on a whim...’

Iz asked again, "Who is the master of your Nest Cave?"

"The master of our Nest Cave..."

As it spoke, the Demon tried to move its body.

Iz loosened the restraints a little, and it turned its head to look in one direction.

"Over there!"

"Our master is over there! It’s on a more distant mountain peak, a giant eye with four wings! It is our greatest master!"

"Oh... which Nest are you from!"

"I am Zaze, from the Level 6 Nest Cave of the Evil’s Nest."

’The Evil’s Nest again?’

’No wonder there are so many soul-type Demons.’

Lu Cang felt he was truly tied to this Nest by fate. Just last month, he had gone to their Nest Cave and killed over a dozen Submerged Land Level Demons.

And this month, he’d run into them again.

Lu Cang casually collected their souls after they died.

Although Iz didn’t care.

But Lu Cang still had to guard against the enemy resurrecting.

No matter what, he couldn’t leave any chance for the enemy to backstab him, not even the slightest Possibility...

Iz asked, "A Level 6 Nest Cave? Isn’t your leader the Ten Thousand True Souls?"

"Ten Thousand True Souls? Are you referring to the great Level 6 Nest Cave?"

Iz: "There are other Level 6 Nest Caves?"

In fact, after returning that day, Lu Cang, Iz, and the others had studied the soul they had captured.

But that soul knew very little.

It had only been born for a month, and with its low intelligence, it basically only knew that a being called the Ten Thousand True Souls was the strongest master there, and that its purpose was to kill people, leave the Nest Cave, and fight its way to the outside world.

It knew nothing else.

The Demon before them, although it seemed just as stupid, apparently knew quite a bit more.

It seemed to have forgotten its predicament. Hearing Iz’s question, it began to speak eloquently: "There are lots of them. Although there’s only one final, main Nest in the world, there are countless smaller Nest Caves beneath it."

"I’ve heard there are as many as a million Level 6 Nest Caves just like ours!"

As it spoke, its expression suddenly became arrogant: "Human, do you know of our greatness?"

"If you do, then kneel!"

...

’Did you forget you’re a prisoner?’

’Have you forgotten who’s in charge?’

Iz casually lopped off its remaining two arms and continued, "How many other Demons like you can talk?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

With its arms severed, its expression instantly became lucid again.

"I, I don’t know."

"Oh..."

Iz’s gaze shifted downward. The Demons had already crossed the mountains and were about to attack the cities of Ruijia.

"Besides you three, are there any other talking Demons here?"

"N-no... no more."

’Hmm... seems like there’s no point in finding that master, then.’

Iz nodded slightly.

WHOOSH!

In another flash, Lu Cang found himself on solid ground, standing on the city wall.

Beside him was a robust, middle-aged man with graying temples, who stared at the tide of Demons before them with an expression of grim resolve.

Iz spoke directly to the man beside them, "You must be the City Lord?"

The man snapped his head to the side.

Only then did he notice that several people had appeared next to him.

"Who are you?"

Iz said, "Izparut."

"Remember, I am the one who saved this kingdom..."

Iz raised a single hand.

In the distance, a blue flame instantly stretched out, immediately spreading left and right to form an extremely long Flame Belt!

Then, the Flame Belt suddenly shot upward!

In an instant, it formed a colossal wall of fire a thousand meters high!

FWOOSH!

This colossal wall of fire pushed forward!

Any Demon that came into contact with the wall of fire was instantly turned to ash, not even a speck remaining!

SZZZZZ—

The surging, tide-like army of Demons crashed ceaselessly against the colossal wall of fire.

The great wall remained steadfast, burning fiercely, pushing ever forward without faltering for any obstacle!

"Th-th-th-this..."

"This!"

The City Lord stammered, stuck on that single word for what felt like an eternity, unable to say anything else.

"This!"

’This what...’ Lu Cang thought, but the scene before him also left him speechless.

’My own Magic.’

’Could my Magic, at Level 6, sweep across tens of thousands of miles like this?’

If this Magic were used on Earth, it could probably scour the planet from the Antarctic to the North Pole.

From Lu Cang’s current vantage point, he couldn’t see the boundaries of this Magic.
