Why must the devil be Defeated?
Chapter 352: Cut open this seal.

Chapter 352: Cut open this seal.

In the hall of the Dark Magic Temple, a beam of moonlight shone through the skylight from the ceiling, descending like a column of light.

The beam illuminated a giant iceberg.

No, it was not an iceberg, but a mysterious transparent crystal formation resembling a small mountain of crystal, so dazzling and beautiful.

However, inside this crystal mountain, there was a young girl.

A young girl with brilliant golden hair shining like the sun, and a petite figure.

Jade gazed at the young girl, and her amethyst-like eyes finally showed a hint of sadness.

Shane looked at the young girl, then at Jade, falling into a speechless state.

Because the young girl looked exactly like Jade.

"Again?"

It was obvious what Shane was thinking.

Laischa and Lasha.

Nien and Ominis.

Lis and Jesse.

In the mere two months since his arrival in this world, how many pairs of identical people had he encountered?

"Could it be another Magic Life?"

While thinking this, Shane couldn’t help but look again at the young girl in the crystal mountain.

At that moment, the young girl looked as if she were frozen, her eyes tightly shut, and her body naked.

But, Shane couldn’t help but gasp.

Because on the exposed delicate skin of the young girl, there were horrifying wounds all over.

Those wounds looked like centipedes, extremely terrifying, covering her entire body and causing one’s heart to twitch at the sight.

It was this sight that caused Shane to be startled initially.

"What in the world is going on here?"

Shane was bewildered.

Undoubtedly, the anomalies in Cosmos must have originated from this Temple.

But what was this Temple all about?

Why was there such a girl frozen in crystal inside the Temple, her body covered in gruesome wounds?

Why did Jade look exactly like her?

Who were they?

And, what was the deal with those Beastman Priests guarding the Temple?

One mystery after another kept appearing, really giving Shane a headache.

"I just came to fight the Old Demon Clan Faction, but what has it all turned into?"

Indeed, Luoqi’s premonition had been right, this journey was filled with obstacles.

Unaware of the many things Shane had thought in that moment, Jade had already taken steps towards the crystal, looking at the girl inside.

Her gaze was not like looking at a sister, but more like looking at herself in a mirror.

Shane really wanted to get everything clear.

But since Jade hadn’t spoken up to now, whether she could clarify things was still an unknown.

"Sigh..."

Shane could only sigh first, organize his feelings, and then approached Jade.

"Tell me," Shane then said to Jade, "you brought me here, what do you want me to do for you?"

While saying this, Shane had somewhat guessed what Jade intended to do.

After all, this girl who looked severely injured, as if carved from the same mold as Jade, clearly wasn’t in a normal state.

She was not like the Supreme God, who had entered deep sleep by her own will.

If Shane was not mistaken, this young girl was likely forced into slumber here.

In other words, the young girl was sealed.

And Jade’s intentions were crystal clear.

"..."

Jade withdrew her gaze from the girl inside the crystal and turned to look at Shane, reaching out and touching the Holy Sword at Shane’s waist.

Her intention was simple.

"Use the power of the Holy Sword to break this seal... right?"

That was what Shane said, and this was confirmed by Jade’s nodding.

That must be why Jade had brought Shane here.

And the Holy Sword could indeed accomplish this.

Among the effects of the Holy Sword, there was a description that it "has the abilities of purification and expulsion of Evil Nature Power."

Shane didn’t know if the seal before him qualified as Evil Nature Power, but it was certainly a negative state.

Thus, using the power of the Holy Sword might purify or expel this negative state, breaking the seal.

At the very least, if Shane used the [Magical Sword] to break through the limits, the seal might not hold.

He just had a gut feeling that this so-called seal could not hinder him.

Even without the Holy Sword, it would be the same.

Jade might not realize this, but she stared straight at Shane, seemingly pleading for something, conveying something.

"Alright."

Shane sighed again.

Originally, Shane was hesitant.

He didn’t know who the sealed girl was, who Jade was, and why one was sealed while the other was thrown into his presence by a group of Magic Life entities.

There were still many mysteries, and even if Shane was not sensitive, he wouldn’t act rashly.

But that was just hesitation, not fear.

That is to say, if necessary, Shane wouldn’t hesitate.

"If we’re really going to cause trouble, might as well make it big."

With this thought, Shane patted Jade on the head, speaking softly.

"Step back."

Hearing this, Jade’s eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly, retreating from Shane’s side.

Shane turned toward the crystal hill in front of him and drew the Holy Sword from his waist.

The seal on the Holy Sword was not broken by Shane.

"I feel like this Crystal Seal won’t be too troublesome for me."

Shane didn’t know why he had this feeling.

Nevertheless, Shane chose to trust this feeling and took a deep breath.

"Okay!"

With determination in his heart, Shane raised the Holy Sword high in front of the crystal hill.

The next second, Shane’s Holy Sword descended.

At that moment, a jumble of footsteps echoed from the entrance of the hall, allowing a group of Beastmen to rush in.

These were not the Beastman Priests guarding around the Temple but rather a group of Beastman Priests who were clearly of higher status, dressed more ostentatiously, and carrying stronger presence.

At the forefront of these Beastman Priests, a Foxman girl cried out in alarm,

"Don’t!"

Her anxious cry resounded.

Sadly, by the time she cried out, it was already too late.

"Qiang!"

Shane’s Holy Sword transformed into a flash of light, suddenly slashing through the entire crystal hill.

The crystal hill suddenly trembled.

On it, a neat cut appeared, splitting it in two as the upper half slid down, separating from each other.

"Boom!"

An explosion of terrifying magic power burst forth from the shattered crystal.

Bathing in this magic power, Shane’s breath hitched, and just as he thought to retreat, he faced astonishing hostility.

"Ooooooooooooooo...!"

An angry roar filled with rage echoed, causing Shane to concentrate his gaze and suddenly turn around.

There, a Wolfman Strongman was roaring while creating turbulent air currents like a storm, rushing towards Shane and slamming a punch towards his head.

"Bang—!"

An explosive noise reverberated through the hall.

The Wolfman’s punch created a tremendous impact, not only shaking the air but also shattering the ground, cracking it open abruptly and turning it into ruins.

Shane burst out from the shockwave, flying back and landing on the ground, sliding some distance before finally stabilizing himself with his feet and stopping.

"I’ll tear you to pieces!"

The Wolfman seemed to enter a frenzied state, clashing his fists together fiercely, causing steel-like sparks between them, while his whole body again became like a storm, charging at Shane.

Shane dared not be careless.

Because the level of this Wolfman Strongman was astonishingly high at ninety-one.

This guy was very strong, extremely strong.

Shane felt a sense of threat, leading him to retreat without hesitation.

"[Grant·Binding]."

Shane cast a spell, attempting to stop the Wolfman’s assault.

The heavy air suddenly compressed around the Wolfman, halting his shape there.

However, to Shane’s surprise, a scene unfolded.

"What is this level...!?"

The Wolfman growled, veins bulging on his forehead, muscles on his body bulging out, and it seemed like his whole body grew a size, stubbornly breaking free from the air’s binding.

"Thump!"

With a muffled sound, the compressed air around the Wolfman burst open.

"Impossible?"

Shane was stunned.

What the heck, he broke free from the magic’s binding with sheer brute force?

Aren’t you a Beastman, more like a Dragon Race personified?

"Tear you apart!"

The Wolfman continued to roar, surging forward in a rage-fueled charge, delivering a punch that shook the heavens.

"Swoosh!"

Shane didn’t hesitate and immediately triggered the "Instant Movement" skill, vanishing from there.

"Bang—!"

The temple abruptly shook as if struck by lightning, causing the ceiling to crack open, scattering countless dust particles.

And the ground was blasted open as if collapsing, continuously cracking, endlessly shattering, and ceaselessly sinking.

The Wolfman Strongman stood at the center of the collapse, pulling his thick arm out of the ground while surveying his surroundings.

"Where did he run off to...!?"

The Wolfman Strongman still appeared furious.

As for the remaining Beastmen, they had already gathered around Jade.

"Finally found it...!"

"Too late!"

"Darn it!"

The Beastman Priests surrounded Jade, preventing her from rushing to the crystal side.

Meanwhile, the Foxman girl had, at some point, reached the crystal, kneeling on the ground, eyes closed in prayer, continuously emitting Holy Light that enveloped the crystal.

Under the cover of Holy Light, the crystal’s cracking ceased, halting its split in two, stopping there.

Yet it constantly trembled, letting out bursts of terrifying magical power that shook the entire temple.

"Swoosh!"

Shane appeared in another spot, immediately tried to go over there upon seeing this scene.

Unfortunately...

"I won’t let you through."

A Catman girl suddenly appeared in front of Shane, intently staring at him.

Shane raised his eyebrows.

It wasn’t strange.

The level of this Catman girl was also astonishingly high at eighty-nine.

"Now this is going to be interesting."
