Chapter 105: Sifrin Braves the Demon Realm
Catherine’s wife?
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Lynn didn’t slow down his mowing speed, nor did it affect his ability to look back.
However, when he turned around, the first thing he saw wasn’t Catherine, but another familiar face he had some dealings with.
"Princess Sifrin, you... damn it, don’t steal my Demon!"
Just as he greeted her halfway, Egarot, who had just been skewered and grilled to near death by him, had his head smashed by a reckless woman in a white robe who dashed into the battlefield.
Suddenly, red and white splattered everywhere, and the Great Demon, who was already doomed, died on the spot, completely dead.
"Yay! I killed the Great Demon Egarot! Last time even Dad couldn’t kill him! Still, he died at the hands of this Saintess!"
Sifrin raised the Scepter of Light high and danced with joy on Egarot’s corpse, as if she had done something remarkable.
"You little..."
If it weren’t for the Demons running around everywhere that hadn’t been killed yet, Lynn feared they’d flee to nearby villages and towns, causing havoc. Otherwise, he would have gone straight over and flicked Sifrin’s forehead.
Even though he wasn’t particularly worried about the experience from a level 750 monster, such blatant monster-stealing behavior was too despicable. If he were a Goblin, he would definitely haul this Saintess of Light into the nest for a grand handling.
Oh well, given his good relationship with her father, the Saint Emperor of Light, he decided not to stoop to the level of his niece.
"Lynn, I knew you’d be here. With you guarding Celestial Destiny City, what kind of monsters would dare cause trouble here?"
At this point, Catherine, a few steps behind, finally arrived, panting heavily. Chasing her own cousin all the way made her feel quite exhausted. After all, although she was a few years older, her strength was far inferior to her level 620 cousin, Sifrin.
Even though she became the Saintess of Light in this generation, 99% of the reason was because her father was the Saint Emperor of Light, but still, she was strong and gifted in her own right for the remaining 1%.
Of course, that’s also because no one dared compete with her for the position of Saintess. Sifrin’s notorious personality was well-known in the Light Empire, and no one wanted to cross her.
"First, let’s kill all the demons that crossed the border, then accompany me to their side to wipe them out! Since we’re here, we should send the Demon Race a big gift!"
At that moment, Lynn couldn’t bother chit-chatting with Catherine. Earlier, he estimated the number of demons he could clear on his own before acting. Now with Catherine and Sifrin helping out, he could clear the remnants faster and, while the temporary space portal remained stable, take the opportunity to invade their side for a wave.
"You only left us a few stragglers, not enough to fill the gap between our teeth. Let me come along when we kill them on their side!"
Catherine hadn’t said anything yet, but Sifrin shamelessly scooted over as if she were friendly with Lynn.
In fact, like everyone else, she had no recollection of Lynn. Earlier, when Catherine mentioned Lynn’s matters to her, she thought her dumb cousin had been duped by an outsider man. However, the lust curse that plagued Catherine’s cousin and their family had indeed been lifted.
This made Sifrin somewhat believe the story, and now, during their journey to verify with the Celestial Destiny Empire, she encountered him, witnessing Egarot being brutally battered without Lynn staining his clothes with a drop of blood, which was enough to assess his astonishing prowess.
At the very least, he had to be stronger than her father, at least at the level of 800 Peak Saint Tier. Otherwise, he couldn’t have crushed Egarot, famous on the frontline battlefield, so effortlessly.
"Catherine is my wife, bringing her along is fine, but what are you to me that I should take you?"
With one sword strike, Lynn harvested dozens of demons’ lives. Among these border-crossing demons, most were Egarot’s loyal personal guards, who blindly fought to the end, making them easy fodder for Lynn.
Only a few demons desperately fled, but most were trying to escape through the space portal behind, while only a few scattered in other directions.
Being deep in enemy territory, escaping far was bound to end in death, eventually being cleansed by the Divine Protection Continent’s warriors, with the only escape being back to the Demon Realm.
By this time, no new demons were crossing the border, but some had already fled back via the portal. Naturally, chaos ensued during this process, with the disorganized demons fighting chaotically for a chance to escape back to the Demon Realm, saving Lynn some effort.
Before long, with the combined efforts of the three, the border-crossing demons were wiped out. However, the space portal, which could originally accommodate a tall demon, was gradually shrinking.
Lynn couldn’t bother arguing with Sifrin, charging into the portal, which had shrunk to less than 1.9 meters high, sword in hand, closely followed by Catherine without hesitation.
Seeing this, Sifrin hesitated for a moment. After all, the portal led to the Demon Race’s base, the Demon Realm—a dangerous area previously unexplored by the Divine Protection Continent alliance.
In past years, random space rifts were the main assault paths for the Demon Race. Pushing them back with all might was the best the Divine Protection Continent could do. The expanded space portals would often be destroyed by the Demon Race afterward, leaving no brave contenders to delve deep into enemy territory.
Considering even the Divine Protection Continent’s strongest, the Saint Emperor of Light at level 750 ranked first, the Demon Realm, based only on known Demon Race Dukes captured, had at least twenty named ones.
And each Demon Race Duke possessed a base level of 800, a terrifying existence the Saint Emperor of Light dared not provoke.
If not for miracles from divine descents during great battles, based on sheer strength comparison between the Divine Protection Continent and the Demon Race, they would surely have been entirely overrun like the Divine Abandonment Continent and the former Divine Protection Continent.
"Ah! Though my silly cousin isn’t smart, she’s not dumb enough to commit suicide! That’s the Demon Realm! I, Sifrin, will become the first to explore the Demon Realm, the great hero!"
As if cheering herself on, Sifrin talked to herself for a while before finally making up her mind.
She conveniently ignored the two ahead of her who entered the Demon Realm first, immediately labeling herself as the first heroic explorer of the Demon Realm.
After all, not many knew Lynn, and her cousin Catherine was easy to fool, so what’s the harm in her being the first?
Absolutely no issue! Then let’s charge ahead!
With a flash of white, Sifrin also entered the space portal.
Overcoming the dizzying sensation, Sifrin stepped onto the red soil of the Demon Realm.
And then she saw her cousin and cousin-in-law squatting by the roadside, carefully examining a shivering, enchanting Demon...
