"Additionally, our Guild master has ordered us to subjugate the demon which as a guild member, you two are obligated to follow" Godwin emphasised in a commanding tone.

"But" Lisa wanted to say something but the former was yet to finish his words.

"As such the greatest compromise I can make is not killing that demon. I Godwin promise all of you that, nonetheless, it must come with us. This is the extent of the concession I can make. Is the branch president fine with that?".

Lisa looked a little unsatisfied, while the branch president wore an intense look of frown. He pondered about it for a bit before sighing helplessly. Even if he was the branch president of the adventurer association, this is the limit of how much he can help his daughter with her will.

He cannot not give face to a powerful adventurer who was destined to join the status of the rankers in the future. Thus, he backed out even though he knew his daughter wouldn't be happy with it.

CLAP… CLAP… CLAP…

As they were discussing all that, suddenly the sound of someone clapping rang out. When they turned their heads around, they saw the demon clapping while wearing a smile on its face. In their midst of conversation, they had almost forgotten that the demon was right near and could hear them.

"What is so funny demon?" Raven who was the nearest to the demon, asked.

"Hahaha, how is it not funny? Since when did you all start thinking that you can decide my fate? Who the fuck died and gave you the right to decide? Do you puny humans really think that you have the ability to keep me here?".

Simon declared with a coarse demonic voice, his face had that symbolic demonic smile of his.

"Just a bluff. Hmph, you think I don't know that powerful protector of yours is gone. Why isn't that girl helping you yet? Call her out, let this guild master also witness how we can't keep you contain here".

At this moment, a huge Air Engine could be seen approaching from the distant sky. At the helm, on top of the air engine was a bald man decked out in Mythril armour and carrying a golden spear in his hand.

The aura he realised was no less powerful than Godwin and he carried himself with an air of authority. The voice that just rang out, was from him.

As his figure became clearer, everyone was able to tell who he was.

'So he even came himself huh. It seems that there is no hope for the demon to escape today' the branch president thought as he glanced at the distant man. To be able to release this kind of domineering aura of authority, who could it be other than the guild master of sea God's Trident, the head of the top five guilds.

"Guild Master Benny" the branch president greeted.

Benny Beckerman glanced at the old man with bemused eyes before extending a greeting himself.

"So it's the branch president of the Adventurer's Association. I guess our movements these past few days have troubled you, please accept my sincere apology".

At this moment, the air engine stopped a few dozen meters away from them. Benny Beckerman, from his vantage point, observed everyone who was present there.

Godwin and raven nodded their heads, while Chuck and Lisa looked a little flustered as they bowed their heads. The rest found their bodies stiffen whenever Benny Beckerman's gaze landed on them.

After observing everybody, the guild master of the Sea god's trident finally shifted his eyes to the tattered and weary looking demon. There was no need for him to think why the demon was so battered; it must have battled with those two to end up like that.

After seeing that his job here was mostly done, he put down some of his worries. He had blockaded the fortress city of Volkan thinking that the demon would come from there, however, it turned out that the demon noble was actually travelling from the north-western side.

Good thing, Godwin and Raven were perceptive enough to rush to the city of Aqualin to intercept the demon or else he would have escaped them once he got through the city and into the northern mountains.

The fact that the demon would take such a long route, further ascertained his suspicions that someone was supporting the demon noble from behind.

'Is it the branch president? No, he won't do that since he owes me one. Who could it be then? Is it that battle junkie?' as his thoughts spun, from the corner of his eyes noticed the air around the demon was a little unusual.

Thinking that it was nothing, he took out his transmission conch and was just about to call the other guild members stationed in the Volkan city here when suddenly the space around the demon started distorting and behaving peculiarly.

All of the people present, were stunned by this sudden ripple in the space and in front of their astonished eyes, the body of the demon started undulating. It was only when a black halo appeared around the demon noble's body did they understood what that phenomenon was.

"Stop that demon, he is invoking a space magic".

Immediately, Benny Beckerman shouted out.

Raven who was the closest to the demon, unsheathed his short sword once again and plunged towards Simon. However, his blade passed through the black halo as if it was made of air. Raven's attack wasn't able to damage the black halo surrounding the demon at all.

"Physical attacks don't work in that case…" Benny Beckerman said clenching his golden spear tightly before hurling it towards the sky.

At that instant, the whole sky turned dark with black clouds suddenly looming over from nowhere. In the blink of an eye, the sky for hundreds of meters was covered by the dark clouds that were brimming with a frightening destructive energy.

Seeing this phenomenon, Simon smiled. No matter how powerful an attack the guild master of the Sea god's guild invokes, as long as it doesn't come down in time, it was useless.

He unclenched his hand and a hexagonal black crystal floated over. The distortion in the space, the rippling in the air and the black halo were all because he had activated the Return Transit Rock.

Normally, to activate the return transit rock, you would have to channel your mana inside it for a long period of time. Thanks to these people arguing and forgetting about him which bought a sufficient amount of time, he was able to activate the return transit rock without a problem.

RUMBLE… the sky trembled with a devastating energy so powerful that the land shuddered from it.

Seeing all of the lightning bolts gather at one spot, more specifically the spear, all of the people inside its range hurriedly retreated. Godwin manifested a few more mana swords and send it flying towards the black halo surrounding the demon noble; nonetheless just like Raven's attack it simply passed through it.

RUMBLE… at this moment, a huge column of thunder in the shape of a dragon peeked its head from the clouds. The dragon was made of red lightning and was so lifelike that one could even mistake it for a real one.

if one looked carefully, they would be able to see the golden spear in the middle of the dragon's head. The moment the lightning dragon formed in the sky, a never-before pressure descended onto the land and covered the onlooker's face with dread.

The might of the attack conjured by the guild master of the Sea God's trident, a man whose level was above 600 and who stood at the pinnacle of their kingdom, was displayed in front of them.

Forget about marvelling at it, the adventurers brought by the branch president and even Chuck and Lisa saw the full might of the person they call their guild master for the very first time.

"Thunder Magic Mastery- [Thunder Dragon Fang]" Benny Beckerman roared and dished out his strongest attack.

If physical attacks don't affect, then what about magic on the level of advanced tier. There was no hesitation in his attack, if the demon died then it died. If by chance it lived, he would be able to know the secrets of the forbidden trial ground.

ROOAAARR.. the huge lighting dragon opened its mouth and roared causing the land for miles to tremble before dropping down on the demon.

BOOOMM… a loud deafening sound reverberated across the lands and even reached the Aqualin city frightening its citizens.

The lightning dragon was like a huge bolt of red lightning connecting the skies with the land. The bolt of lightning was so bright that even from this distance, the people had to cover their eyes. In their hearts, they incessantly wondered what kind of monsters were fighting there.

Perhaps this was the first time in their life that they got to witness such a spectacle.

ZzzSssTtt… ZzzSssTtt…  after the residual lightning died down, everyone in the area to their amazement saw a huge dark pit with an unknown depth appear where the demon should have been.

Everything around that area was scorched and destroyed beyond recognition; there was not even a trace of the demon to be found. No one knew if he had died or survived.

Benny Beckerman looked at the huge empty pit in consternation, now that he couldn't get the information from the demon, he could only try his luck onto the trail ground regardless of the casualties they would have to suffer.
