The original strength of this Sea Siren was around Tier Five, but after being corrupted, its power declined severely, still resembling Tier Four.

However, due to the suppression from the ruins, its strength could only be exerted to below Tier Four levels, and over time, its true strength became infinitely close to Tier Four.

Or rather, even weaker than close to Tier Four.

But even so, it’s not something that four Tier Two individuals could defeat.

A Mage and Demon that reach Tier Four are equivalent to entering the second phase, breaking away from the scope of general Mages. With the help of Magic, they even possess the ability to fly for a long time, and the destructive power they can cause is unmatched by Tiers One to Three.

For Hilia and her group of four, relying solely on their own strengths, it was absolutely impossible to defeat Terksey. Only because the Magic Puppet containing a Divine Fragment has super strong combat power could they use Tier Two power to fight against a Demon comparable to Tier Four.

If this Demon didn’t have a mechanism for a berserk frenzy due to being gravely injured.

When Terksey sensed its impending death and entered a berserk state, its strength roughly reached Tier Four.

At this level, the mere Spiritual Attack unleashed during its frenzy made everyone fall into a brief stupor.

If Hilia’s Magic Puppet were torn apart by it, leading to a loss of balance in combat power, the only fate waiting for the five would be annihilation.

So Rose made a move.

He instantly possessed Hilia, taking over not only Hilia’s body but also the control of the Magic Puppet, narrowly avoiding being seized by Terksey.

After dodging, he first created ten layers of icy walls around Terksey to hinder its movements, then quickly went to Doris’s Magic Puppet and picked up the heavy greatsword.

This greatsword was very long, almost matching Hilia’s height, and very heavy, but in Rose’s hands, it was like a plastic toy, effortlessly hurled toward the Magic Puppet.

"This sword is nice; if magic can’t deliver a fatal blow, this sword can."

After taking the greatsword, Terksey also shattered the ten layers of ice walls, but before it could become smug, a greatsword enlarged before its eyes.

In an almost instant moment, the greatsword pierced fiercely into its body, directly impaling its upper half!

After penetration, it wasn’t over. Rose’s Spiritual Power transformed into countless threads pinning it down; the Magic Puppet pressed forward, the greatsword continued its penetration, stabbing into Terksey’s serpentine tail, nailing it to the stone-contructed floor, deeply embedding it into the ground.

Terksey struggled violently; a Sea Siren tainted and corrupted, wasn’t going to die easily.

"Not dead? Then I’ll send you on your way once more."

A dense ice fog appeared on the greatsword, swiftly gathering around Terksey’s head as though it had a spirit, drilling into its head.

Its struggle slowed more and more, until finally, it stopped altogether.

The polluting threads spreading from its body snapped at the moment of its death; countless demon eggs on the other end of the threads jiggled violently a few times before their glow dimmed, ceasing any movement.

Rose clapped his hands and returned control of the body to Hilia.

By this time, Hilia and the others gradually came out of their daze.

When they saw Hilia’s Magic Puppet use Doris’s greatsword to impale Terksey to the ground, they all showed a look of bewilderment.

At this moment, Terksey’s posture was akin to kneeling and leaning back into a "∠", while the greatsword impaled it into an equilateral triangle with auxiliary lines.

The head, frozen stiff, was wide open, as if it wanted to scream.

Whether it’s Phil Anco or Benovia, their minds were somewhat muddled at that moment.

After Terksey screamed, what happened?

Why was the once untouchable Sea Siren pinned to the ground like this?

Although they understood that the Sea Siren went berserk because it was dying, and that they could easily slay it after withstanding this frenzy.

But they failed to withstand it.

There was only one...

The girls turned their gaze to Hilia, their expressions were somewhat different.

Hilia was just as confused, but she quickly recovered and realized this was Rose’s handiwork.

The scene of Rose controlling her and the Magic Puppet to slay Terksey quickly surfaced in her mind, from the moment they all were stunned by the spiritual impact, to Rose controlling her and the Magic Puppet to dodge Terksey’s grasp, then Rose throwing the greatsword to the Magic Puppet and decisively killing Terksey, all these scenes became her memories.

Lord Rose...

So strong!

The maiden’s heart was enchanted, her pretty face slightly flushed—excitedly.

She cleared her throat softly: "I had slightly stronger Spiritual Power, so I woke up before you did, and it just so happened that this Sea Siren was at the end of its rope too, so I got lucky enough to kill it."

She spoke lightly, but glossed over how she passed Doris’s Magic Puppet’s greatsword to the Magic Puppet, and how the Magic Puppet used the greatsword to pin the Sea Siren to the ground.

But the fact was right in front of their eyes: Hilia’s Magic Puppet used Doris’s greatsword to kill the Sea Siren that nearly wiped them out.

Although it seemed like Hilia definitely concealed the most critical information, considering Terksey was already worn down to near death by them, it made a little bit of sense.

Not accepting it was not an option, so they could only accept it.

Benovia marveled: "Hilia, you’re truly the strongest among all of us, the position of Holy Daughter is none other than yours."

Phil and Encore both nodded.

Hilia: "?"

Please don’t; you’re scaring me.

At this moment, faced with these individuals who seemed to have turned into her fangirls, wanting her to become the Holy Daughter, Hilia felt that Doris was still more genuine.

That personality, which unabashedly wore her thoughts on her face, was reassuring.

"Let’s clean up the surroundings first, friends." Hilia suggested.

The others nodded.

The Magic Puppets each had some damage, but basic activity wasn’t impaired; they could still clean up the battlefield and such.

Because the blood Terksey shed was so disgusting that Phil had to purify the entire cave before Hilia used Magic to freeze all the flowing blood, encapsulating it in ice blocks, allowing the Magic Puppets to carry out the cleanup.

After cleaning up all the traces around, everyone turned their gaze to Terksey, still pinned to the ground.

"A Sea Siren that was once Tier Five must have something valuable on its body, right?"

The girls all showed a longing look, but Benovia poured cold water on their hopes: "This Sea Siren has been polluted and corrupted for who knows how many hundreds of years. Even the best bones might be porous and have lost their usefulness, perhaps inferior to the demons that have been born more recently."

Hilia had the Magic Puppet step forward and pull out the greatsword stuck in Terksey.

Terksey’s entire body slumped softly, and before Hilia could do anything, a rich Demonic Qi emerged from its surroundings, slowly dissipating into the air.

As the Demonic Qi dispersed, Terksey’s desperately maintained body aged rapidly, and withered away.

In less than three minutes, Terksey’s body turned into a mummy, cracking apart with a faint sound, slowly turning to powder, leaving only something that resembled a Treasure Pearl lying intact on the ground.

"Loot dropped!"
