When the oppressive and horrible sound started coming from above, the air around Hao Ren suddenly felt like it was burning.

The blood mist that Vivian released had already covered the Demon Stone completely. However, a shock wave erupted from the stone out of nowhere and shattered the mist in seconds. Even Vivian was forced a few steps back by the shock wave. Watching the power of her blood slowly disappear, she could not believe it and said, “This… is a waste. I could have eaten that!”

Hao Ren instantly detached himself from the present situation. The vampire tried to smooth things over and she gave her best but atmosphere was really ruined.

At that time, Lily was holding a giant stone pillar which was several meters long. She kept smashing the armored wraiths. The impact was so strong that the whole castle seemed to be experiencing an earthquake. However, the horrible sound in the sky made her stop immediately. The werewolf girl looked up in shock and saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds.

The stars and moon had vanished. A large mass of filthy, dark clouds were gathering from all directions. The clouds were thick like some kind of substance. They tumbled through the sky like a swamp hanging upside down. It looked horrible and disgusting. As the clouds gathered, a dark red blaze began to spread behind them. It was as though there were miles of flames spanning from the black clouds. In the brightest part of the fire, an opening in the shape of a vortex was slowly forming. Immense pressure and an unbearable heat wave were coming right from the opening.

The blaze was not an illusion. It was actually loaded with a sea of fire; an endless roaring flame coming from the demon dimension.

“It’s hot, it’s so hot!” yelled Lily as she continued to wipe out their enemies desperately. She swung the huge, stone pillar and smashed the big crowd of armored wraiths into irretrievable scrap. However, the giant stone pillar was already weathered so, it was unable to withstand Lily’s rough handling. It finally broke after a few waves of wraith attacks. Lily was stunned for a moment but surrounded by the crazy armored wraiths, it was no time for her to stop. She could only throw away the pillar and pick up other ‘bricks’ of the same length around her. She threw them everywhere and shouted, “F*ck off! Are you guys done here?! Landlord, I don’t want to play anymore. I want to go home…”

While the clouds in the sky continued to gather together, the armored wraiths in the castle seemed to go crazy in response. The Letta runes on their bodies were red and shining as if they were just seared onto the armor. Lily was wiping out the wraiths alone. Although she could still handle it, she was obviously frightened by the upheaval. Hao Ren knew that Lily was almost in tears from her voice. The werewolf was just a ‘little cub’; she was still too young.

However, Hao Ren was not that old as well. He was not even married yet.

Vivian spread her wings and flew to Hao Ren. The cold air surrounding the vampire managed to slightly disperse the unbearable heat. Hao Ren regained his senses in the cold air and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I… don’t know.” Vivian still could not believe what just happened. She could not understand exactly what was wrong with and tried to explain. “It was smooth in the beginning. I also sensed that the strength of the Demon Stone’s owner should be the same as mine. As long as it’s sealed carefully, the problem can be solved perfectly with the help of moonlight… but I don’t know what happened. I just lost control! This rock works in a whole different way than the Demon Stone I know, it…”

“Okay, okay. I don’t get it anyway,” said Hao Ren. He then held onto Vivian’s shoulder. He could hear noises echoing in his head and they made it hard for him to concentrate. “Why is my head full of noises?”

“Demonic power will affect the minds of ordinary people!” Vivian said loudly. She knew that her blood magic to banish mental pollution was not going to work on Hao Ren. Since being anxious would not have helped either, she got ready to fight instead. The vampire maiden flew up into the air and a pair of giant bat wings opened up on her back. Countless blood red streams of light emerged from the air and condensed into a complex pattern behind her. Hao Ren felt a strong pressure spreading from Vivian’s body. It was nothing like he had ever seen before and was far more powerful than her usual performance. Vivian stared at the spiral door in the sky. There was already a huge foot which looked like the hoof of a beast, stepping out from the vortex. She had to completely unleash her power before the entire demon got out of the vortex.

It had been thousands of years since Vivian last used such power. She was unsure if she could fully control it.

A clear flash of light suddenly pierced the thick, dark clouds in the sky and they seemed to be torn apart by force. An unusually bright, silver moon emerged from the rift. Hao Ren’s attention was immediately drawn to the extraordinary sight. He thought it was the previously obscured moon. However, he soon realized that it was not the right time. The moon should not have been in that position. Then, he noticed that the silver moon in the sky was much larger than usual. Additionally, the texture of the moon was clearly visible but h he had never seen anything like it before.

Before he could observe it further, the surface of the moon was covered with a layer of blood-like redness. The entire moon almost turned into a completely red sphere. At that moment, the red, ominous light in the sky even covered the sea of flames behind the clouds. The demon’s power was suppressed in an instant. Of course, it could have been an illusion. After all, Hao Ren did not know anything about power sensing and psionic scanning. He just thought that the strange moon Vivian summoned was brighter than the flames amid the clouds…

The surrounding armored wraiths lost their purpose under the glow of the blood moon and began to wander in a daze. Lily looked up and stared blankly at the eerie moonlight. The fur on her ears and tail were slowly standing up one by one. “… I feel… a little sick…” she said.

A loud bang broke the short stalemate. The flames in the sky surged uncontrollably and the vortex was completely opened. Then, a giant demon crashed down to the ground. For a moment, the earth trembled and the mountains shook; throwing sand and stones in all directions.

Hao Ren and Lily stepped back instinctively.

A figure burning in raging flames slowly rose within the dusty haze. After the dust had dispersed, the demon’s figure was revealed. It was a five-meter-tall humanoid creature with crooked legs akin to a goat’s hoofs and stout, strong arms. Its skin was dark as iron and each bulging muscle was filled with traces of flames as well as lava. The raging flames formed the demon’s armor and molten iron dripped slowly from the cracks on its skin. The demon’s entire body was like an erupting volcano and its body was of an extremely high temperature. The flames and the lava were as real as they could be.

Hao Ren had to straighten his neck in order to see the demon’s face clearly. What he saw was a grim face as if carved from obsidian. The demon had facial features but there were flames pouring out of every hole on its face. It seemed as though the face existed only to make the demon look more ferocious. The demon’s head had a pair of curved, long horns. They looked like the horns of a black goat just as the legends had described.

Hao Ren noticed that one of the demon’s horns was chipped. About one-third of the horn had broken off at the tip.

Vivian was stunned when she saw the demon. She hesitated to attack it because she found that… this demon was quite different from the breed she knew of.

While the demon had the similar powerful presence and appearance, it was not the kind of breed she had seen before. She did not know if it was a good idea to rashly attack an opponent when its clan, strength and fighting style were all unclear.

The demon however, did not seem to care about Vivian, who was glaring at it fiercely from the side. It just peered below and searched around until it found a petrified Hao Ren. A roar, which sounded like muffled thunder came from the demon’s mouth. “#@￥#!￥%@%￥##@?” asked the demon.

“What?” Hao Ren could not understand it.

“#@￥#%#, #@#%#?”

Hao Ren was surprised when he realized that the demon was talking to him. But, who the heck would understand demon language!

The demon appeared to suddenly realize the problem (Hao Ren guessed it from its expression. It was quite difficult to see the demon’s expression in the middle of the flames). The demon then did a scratching motion in the air and took a metal plate out of nowhere. It was a metal plate the size of a desktop. However, it was just like a tablet in the demon’s hand. The demon scratched the metal plate for quite some time and laid face down on the ground, trying to keep his eyes parallel to Hao Ren’s.

“Err, you me lendlot?”

Vivian had been holding herself up for quite some time. At that moment, she lost strength and finally dropped to the ground.
