People are scared in America, my uncle is Dante

Chapter 130 Returning to the Town

As the yellow-clad demon saw Suren attacking, he raised his arms in front of him, and an unyielding black aura surged from his body, gathering on his arms to form a black shield.

"Humans who overestimate their abilities—"

The demon, hiding behind the shield, spoke with utter disdain for Suren.

"With your strength, you dare to try and break your master—"

But in the next second, a dazzling purple light pierced through the shield in front of it and flashed through its body.

When Suren reappeared, he was behind the demon, gripping his greatsword tightly with both hands, still in the position of thrusting forward.

The demon's mocking smile vanished abruptly.

It lowered its head and looked at its chest.

There, a hole the size of a bowl appeared at some point.

Immediately afterwards, cracks began to spread outwards from the hole.

"Bang!"

The demon's body was blasted into a cloud of black blood mist.

Not only that, even the spot where Suren had just thrust his sword was cracked open, a fissure more than ten meters long, because it couldn't withstand the terrifying force.

【Ding! 】

[Successfully slayed the high-ranking demon enhanced by dark energy.]

[Points earned: 5000.]

In Suren's mind, the system, which had been dormant for a long time, sounded again.

Dark energy enhancement?

He slowly straightened up, looked at the message, and raised an eyebrow.

This was the first time he had encountered such a peculiar demon.

System prompts kept popping up.

[Demon Bloodline Awakening Level Increased by 1%]

[Demon Bloodline Awakening Level Increased by 1%]

[Points Balance: 8500 points]

Current Bloodline Awakening Level: 22%

Suren looked down at himself; the demonic transformation on his body had disappeared.

That attack just now greatly depleted his magic power and energy.

Although his bloodline awakening level has increased again and his magic power is recovering, his face is still somewhat pale.

"Zi"

A series of sparks and a crackling sound rang out.

Suren raised his right arm; the mechanical prosthetic hand was emitting black smoke and sparks were flying, clearly indicating that it was already broken.

He took it apart and threw it to Nicole, who was running from a distance.

The latter hurriedly caught the hot piece of scrap metal, showing no remorse whatsoever; instead, his eyes lit up.

"Great! Finally, we have real-world data!"

She took a device out of her pocket and inserted it into the interface of the prosthetic hand.

"With this test data, we can better optimize the magic conduction circuit and adjust the stability of this thing!"

Nicole looked up, grinned at Suren, and said, "As the first test pilot of this groundbreaking piece of equipment, I promise you, once the final product is made, I'll send you a few!"

Suren smiled and nodded.

He turned his head and looked at the place where the demon had exploded; not a trace remained.

"What a pity."

Suren sighed inwardly.

He also hoped that this specially enhanced demon could be transformed into a new magical artifact.

His opponent's defensive capabilities were something he really envied.

It now appears that this demon's strength is insufficient to meet the standards for transforming magical artifacts.

It's only holding on by the dark energy bestowed upon it by the mastermind behind the scenes.

At this moment, the two prisoners who had been held in the dungeon, supporting each other, walked out from behind the ruins, one with a limp and the other with a sickly gait.

They looked at the corpses of the townspeople scattered on the ground, and Suren, who was already standing in the center of the square, was filled with awe.

They had witnessed the entire battle that had just taken place.

The two walked up to Suren and knelt on one knee.

"Thank you, kind sir."

The bearded man's voice trembled as he said, "You saved this land and drove out those heretics who were deceived by the devil."

The young people next to them echoed this sentiment, their eyes filled with fervor.

Nicole looked at the two men dressed in burlap sacks and asked, "Who are they?"

"The original administrators of this town."

Suren briefly explained their origins.

A thought struck him, and seven children dressed in white robes, their faces pale, appeared out of thin air on the open ground in front of him.

Although the children were somewhat weak, they were fortunately unharmed and had already regained consciousness.

They rubbed their eyes, looking around at the unfamiliar ruins, feeling somewhat lost for a moment.

The two prisoners were moved to tears when they saw that the children were safe and sound.

Of all the children in the town, only these seven remained.

They repeatedly kowtowed to Suren in gratitude.

Just then, the ground around them began to tremble.

The space above my head split open like a mirror.

The surrounding wooden houses began to weather away, turning into countless specks of light that slowly drifted into the night sky.

"Oh no!"

Nicole's expression changed drastically upon seeing this. "This space is collapsing! We need to find the Distant Tree quickly and leave, or the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Upon hearing this, Suren's heart tightened.

Although his physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary people, he is not confident enough to withstand the turbulence caused by the spatial shattering with his bare body.

Once caught up in it, even if you transform into a demon, you'll probably be torn to shreds.

The two prisoners kneeling on the ground watched the surrounding scenery dissipate, and seemed to realize something.

They looked down at their own hands, which were also beginning to become transparent and turn into specks of light. There was no fear in their eyes, but rather a sense of relief and peace.

"So—we were already dead all along—"

The bearded man gave a bitter laugh, looking up at Suren. "Thank you, sir. You broke this cycle of curses, finally allowing us true peace."

As soon as they finished speaking, their bodies, along with the seven children, completely transformed into countless specks of light and vanished into the night wind.

"Walk!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Suren grabbed Nicole's arm and pushed off with her feet.

A flash of white light.

When Suren opened his eyes again, they had returned to the forest where Dream Demon Town was located.

Unlike the quiet nights of the past, the forest is now filled with howling winds.

The dim sky turned blood red, and the whole world was filled with a sense of impending disaster.

Suren turned around and looked at the distant tree behind him that had teleported them out.

The tree hole that had been emitting a faint light had disappeared.

It turned into an ordinary tree.

The cycle of reincarnation in that world was broken, and the function of the distant tree disappeared.

Around the tree, a large number of monsters lay on the ground.

"Sulen?"

A shout suddenly came from the bushes nearby.

Immediately afterwards, Black Sheriff Boyd pushed aside the weeds and strode out.

His clothes were tattered and he had some wounds, but he looked alright overall.

"Did you succeed?"

Boyd looked at Suren and Nicole and asked somewhat nervously.

"Um."

Suren nodded.

He sized up Boyd.

For some reason, when Suren saw Boyd again this time, he felt like he had seen him somewhere before.
