Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 629 - 480 Accountability_2

"Yes!" Arnold seemed to have found his mainstay in an instant, excitedly agreeing.

The image was not from within the castle, but rather atop the dim ruins of a city.

The thorny flower flag flying high above the ruins reminded many of the famous city that had long vanished into history—Freedom City.

That was during the days when the empire had not yet completely fallen apart, existing in name only.

However, the moment the demon, which had devoured countless souls of the entire city, slowly emerged from the void, was also the first act of the empire's decline.

The spire-like demons were almost scattered across the entire city's ruins, endless enforcers from the Arbitration Place fearlessly launched a desperate assault against the higher-dimensional demon.

Then they fell amidst the ruins...

One after another, endlessly.

Unlike with the Bug Race or orcs, humans occasionally managed to launch a counterattack and even harbored ambitions to completely clear the opponent from the planet.

But against higher-dimensional demons, humans could only adopt the most conservative defense.

Preventing the enemy's arrival in the real world was the most common task of the enforcers.

When a demon of sufficient significance truly descended, the price humanity had to pay was bound to be extremely severe.

And when the scene switched, to the images of the inside of the castle taken from outside the twisted barrier, it was apparent.

The one that appeared inside the castle this time was the same desire-based great demon that brought painful lessons to the empire—Thousand Faces!

The nearly identical skill display, the sky full of clones including the networks of blood and flesh vines, were all signature skills of Thousand Faces.

"It's that one!"

"It has reincarnated again!"

Anyone with a slight understanding of history would not forget the scars this great demon had brought to humanity.

The ruins of Freedom City are still laid out on the land for subsequent visitors to mourn and commemorate.

But there are always those unwilling to accept their opponent's strength and by extension, acknowledge their own team's weakness, "Does looking the same mean it has the same strength? Back then, so many executors gave their lives just to narrowly defeat the physical body of the great demon in the real world. Now it can be... it can be stopped by General Bai E alone? Could it be that General Bai E's strength surpasses that of so many executors combined? Being stoppable indicates that this reincarnated great demon no longer possesses the formidable power of the past. Could the demon that almost devoured an entire city's worth of souls back then be on the same level as the one summoned by this decaying castle?"

"I truly wish you were at the scene when the barrier broke!" Arnold stared at the speaker, his eyes icy cold.

The soul-piercing scream of Thousand Faces, unwilling to be repelled by the laws of the real world at the last moment, caused even him to feel his soul tremble and nearly disengage. If these ignorant fools were to take his place, their souls would likely be torn away on the spot, becoming the most basic and senseless chaos eggs in the high-dimensional space.

It was only through the desperate struggle of countless warriors that these so-called nobles standing here casting their verbose judgments had the opportunity.

However, watching the continuous playback of the video, even those of the same rule spoke up—

"Perhaps... General Bai E is indeed strong enough."

"He... he knows the Exorcism Magic Circle, too?"

"Wasn't it said that General Bai E had never studied any ability related to Spiritual Energy?"

"Perhaps it's... learned from Kiro Lan."

Even though Kiro Lan and Morphie didn't disclose it outright, their interactions were too obvious to be concealed from anyone.

The origins of the two Saint Heirs had a close connection to General Bai E, with most of the information laid out on the desks of the attendees after the incident.

Thus, it's understandable that the two Saint Heirs would follow General Bai E's arrangements upon meeting again.

This point was insignificant, as they only needed someone to take the blame, regardless of who it was.

But now... merely from observing Kiro Lan complete half of the Array and then being able to perform it himself, General Bai E truly exceeded the expectations of most people.

Being able to become nobility invariably means having elite family members who are connected with various main organizations of the city.

Although a family's spokesperson might not understand the intricacies of the Spiritual Energy field, there's always someone elite in the family who does.

Unable to bear seeing their family's spokesperson continue to make a fool of themselves, they notified their representative in their own ways, in secret, to prevent them from truly embarrassing themselves.

While General Bai E was engaged in sword combat against thousands, the Arbitration Place's Saint Heir Kiro Lan was struggling to inscribe a certain Array, and anyone with a bit of visual acuity and wisdom could tell at a glance that it was the Arbitration Place's treasured secret skill—the Exorcism Magic Circle.

The Arbitration Place has never been stingy with such skills; anyone with Spiritual Energy who wanted to learn could do so, yet those who managed to master it... were one in ten thousand.

Kiro Lan's ability to master the Exorcism Magic Circle had created a sensation among their Spiritual Energy wielders at the time, let alone... a military soldier who had never been exposed to the Exorcism Magic Circle yet managed to learn it after merely watching someone use it halfway?

What was even more preposterous was...

Watching the figure in the screen fighting against the great demon, while dancing with the sword so fluidly and completing the Array in one fell swoop, everyone felt their worldview shattering.

Is this something a human can achieve?

Kiro Lan's performance was by the book, conforming to everyone's serious perception of exorcism.

But General Bai E fought like he was on a rampage in the home of demons.

It was probably only the concern that other survivors couldn't hold on for too long that stopped him, otherwise, he might have simply taken a sword and slaughtered all the demons in the fortress.

"Absurd."

"Indeed..."

Even those who had been reluctant to speak out before no longer insisted on their stubbornness.

Even if the Bug Race had just resurrected and lost its prestige, it was still on the demon's turf after all.

While enduring the frenzied attacks of the demon, the person was multitasking, inscribing the Array at an accelerated pace.

Then considering the disrepair shown by Arbitration Place's enforcer during his last struggling roar against the Bug Race, perhaps the just-resurrected Bug Race hadn't lost its stature to that extent.

Praise be as it may, everyone knew that the Arbitration Place was an organization fighting on the frontlines against the demons within the city.

Even if their power wasn't heaven-defying, they were far from weak.

In comparison...

For a moment, everyone's gaze towards Bai E was filled with fervent meaning.

"If General Bai E could be stationed at the fortress, would we be completely secure in the future?" someone excitedly suggested.

This immediately drew a snort from Arnold, "Anyone who allows the fortress to exist will become a part of its nourishment. This is General Bai E's first visit here, and if he were stationed here, there would not be a second General Bai E to break this siege in the future."

Aglaya, who had been seated beside Bai E and had hardly said anything, seemed all of a sudden to have received some message. She hummed softly twice and with a wave of her hand, a small electronic USB drive appeared in her hand.

Controlling the USB drive with Spiritual Energy to fly towards the technicians, Aglaya stood up and said, "Additionally, our people made some predictions after capturing sufficient real-time spatial data on site. This is the result of those predictions. Everyone can have a look."

The 3D structural diagram symbolizing the entire city's structure cast aside the obstructions from the building bodies, using only a form of dots, lines, and planes to depict the city's core structure.

The very bottom of the city's virtual diagram, which displayed in a gyroscopic shape, had a small area marked in red—that was the location of the fortress.

When the fortress was instantaneously hollowed out, the overlying space poured into it like water.

The flow of space spread throughout the city, causing certain disruptions to the entire city's building structures.

And when the projection zoomed in on the detail, the architectural structures borne by the space immediately showed a distorted form at the area closest to the source.

Aglaya's voice echoed throughout the hall, "If the fortress truly falls, at least the structures within three levels in proximity will suffer devastating damage. The number of deaths won't just be those inside the fortress!"
