Chapter 820: Chapter 748: The Shock Brought by the Demons (Part 2)
Powerful Unique Skills are not exclusive to Gray.
Hette Yada, renowned for her formidable strength as a member of the Demon Clan, and capable of reaching the Limit Level, possesses Unique Skills that are absolutely on par with Gray’s, perhaps even stronger.
Thus, it was only at this moment that Gray realized he had been ignorant.
However, Liel, who was at the same level as Gray, ignored the trepidation brought by Hette Yada and stared at her with a battle-ready expression.
Hette Yada disregarded Liel and simply stood there silently, blocking the path to the meeting room, causing the Demon Clan Officers to look at each other and hesitate to act rashly.
In front of Shane, Hette Yada appeared both courteous and respectful, though he didn’t understand how terrifying Hette Yada was in the eyes of the Demons.
At the very least, among the people present, besides Gray and Liel, everyone else studied Hette Yada with eyes tinged with fear.
The reaction mirrored that of the Demon Clan Officers when they saw Hette Yada outside the Imperial City.
Luckily, this oppressive scene was soon interrupted.
“Buzz!”
With a ripple in the atmosphere, the barrier engulfing the meeting room was lifted.
The meeting room door silently opened, allowing the Demons to emerge one by one.
Instantly, the terrifying aura that was exclusive to the Demons permeated the whole place.
Sera led the Demons as they appeared collectively.
“Greetings to the Lords.”
Hette Yada immediately turned and respectfully bowed.
“Greetings to the Lords!”
“Greetings to the Lords!”
The others also reacted, one by one kneeling on a single knee, respectfully saluting the Demons.
They looked at the Demons appearing together and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, although the meeting took a while, at least nothing seemed wrong with the Lords.
However…
“Lords?”
Hette Yada hesitated and called out to the Demons on behalf of the many Demon Clan Officers present.
There was no other choice.
At this moment, the Demons all had expressions that were inexplicably heavy, and exceedingly complex.
Especially Ai Yi, whose thoughts were unknown; she was sometimes worried, sometimes sighing continuously.
Without a doubt, such behavior was far from the usual domineering demeanor of the Demons who normally pursued worldly power.
“Did something happen?”
This thought crossed everyone’s minds.
Unfortunately, the Demons paid no heed.
“Is everyone here?”
Sera looked at the officers and nodded slightly.
Ai Yi gazed toward Hette Yada and directly asked aloud.
“Where’s Shane?”
As soon as the Dragon Demon Lord emerged, the first concern was that Hero.
But it wasn’t Hette Yada who answered; it was Glati and Bretti.
“Master, that Hero ran away.”
“That’s right, he’s no longer in the Supreme Castle.”
Glati and Bretti spoke one after another, their tone subtly tinged with grievance.
This was all an act.
The two Dragon Girls intended to complain to Ai Yi, hoping she’d understand the backstory, take the matter up with Shane, and bring him back to the Dragon Demon Territory.
Both believed that once their Master understood the Hero’s abilities, she would exhaust him for the sake of the Dragon Race.
Just imagining that scene made the Dragon Girls feel a bit thrilled…?
However, the reactions of the Demons to Glati and Bretti’s words were unexpected.
“You say, that fellow left the Supreme Castle?”
Chafne surprisingly stepped forward, somewhat urgently speaking.
Seeing Chafne like this, not only Glati and Bretti, but even Liel, Hart, and Gray were also surprised.
Previously, although Chafne and Shane were close, she hadn’t shown such urgent concern.
Now, observing the urgency on Chafne’s exquisite and beautiful face, while Liel paid no mind, Hart felt a pang of jealousy, with Gray furrowing his brows tightly, his eyes reflecting intense emotions.
The other Demon Clan Officers were similarly astonished.
Because, the reactions of the other Demons were equally remarkable.
“Why did he leave so suddenly?”
Lide’s tone also carried a hint of worry.
“Shane! Shane!”
Milu was even more anxious, pacing around frantically, almost wanting to rush out.
What was more surprising was Camina’s reaction.
“What were you all doing? How could you let such an important person run off like that?”
Just awhile ago, Camina had been at odds with Shane, yet now, because of his departure, she was fuming with anger.
The overly intense reaction of several Demons left the officers feeling at a loss for what to do.
In contrast, Sera and Ai Yi remained calm from beginning to end.
“You guys, don’t get so worked up, you’re scaring the subordinates.” Sera sighed, berating, “He just went out, it’s not like something happened. You’re getting upset because you care too much.”
“Sisters, please calm down first.” Ai Yi said calmly, “I know the things we just discussed were quite shocking for everyone, but please settle down.”
Sera and Ai Yi’s words caused a halt in the Demons’ momentum, and eventually, they all withdrew in a somewhat dejected manner.
“We really were too agitated.”
Chafne rubbed her temples.
“We can’t help it. If everything Big Sister investigated is true, then the importance of that Hero is self-evident.”
Lide chuckled wryly.
“No matter what, let’s find him first. If something happens to him, the entire Omni Potanssen will face a great upheaval.”
Camina demanded sternly, quite contrary to her previously aggressive stance towards Shane.
“Find him!”
Milu nodded vigorously. If Lide hadn’t been holding her back, she would have surely rushed out.
Sera thought for a moment and finally nodded.
“You’re right. Regardless of the truth, Shane’s presence is undeniably important.” Sera glanced at all her younger sisters and said, “Following what we discussed earlier, from today onwards, no matter the situation, one of us must stay by his side as a guard.”
“And, arrange for him to enter the ‘Demon King Mansion’ as soon as possible. Not only can it enhance his power, but it might also verify some truths.”
Sera’s statement was met with nods from the Demons.
Ai Yi even spoke up.
“Later, I’ll go find him.”
Ai Yi casually informed everyone that she would be the one staying by Shane’s side, serving as his guard.
The Demons naturally had no objections.
Whether in terms of time spent with Shane or the quality of their relationship, Ai Yi was undoubtedly the first among the Demon Sisters.
Having her by Shane’s side was fitting both emotionally and rationally, officially and personally.
Even Chafne had nothing to say about it.
After all, her relationship with Shane was more complex than it was good.
Given the current situation, she wasn’t going to vie with Ai Yi for a place by Shane’s side.
So, Chafne had a nonchalant attitude.
The Demons ignored the fact that there were also numerous Demon Clan Officers present.
They listened to the conversation between the Demon Sisters, their hearts tumultuous with shock.
“The Lords actually value that Hero so much?”
“They even plan to act as guards for that Hero?”
“They actually intend to let a Human Hero enter the Demon King Mansion?”
“Have the Lords gone mad?”
The astonishment in the officers’ hearts was so overwhelming it couldn’t be described in words.
Even Gray felt continuous vibrations in his heart, his emotions surging as he looked at the Demons with astonished eyes.
No one knew what had happened.
Nor could anyone guess at what had transpired.
People only knew that from this day forward, Hero Shane became the most crucial figure in the minds of the Demons.
The news of Ai Yi and Shane’s engagement was also spread and became known to the world.
At the same time…
“I need to find an opportunity to visit the Divine World to confirm my suspicions.”
Among the Demon Sisters, Sera turned her head and looked in a direction.
In that direction, a colorfully bright Goddess was flying aimlessly.
“Where is this place again?”
The Goddess’s tearful voice was so clear.
