852: Kicking Nearly Everyone Out

Kicking Nearly Everyone Out

The demons didn't know where Leon came from, but they no longer cared—not when they realized what he was trying to do; destroy the Teleportation Array!0

"Kill him! Stop him! Whatever you do, don't let him destroy the gate!" a Mid-rank Evil Eye Greater Demon barked. 

Even without the Evil Eye Greater Demon's instruction, the other Greater Demons and Lesser Demons already rushed into action, charging at Leon from all directions. 

They didn't know his capabilities, but they weren't going to risk the destruction of the gate!

"Die!" 

A winged demon from one of the lower-ranking demon clans was the first to reach Leon as it attacked with its silver trident. 

However, Leon immediately mobilized the dark energy of his Mid-stage Heaven Ascension Realm cultivation, suppressing all the demons at the Mid-rank Greater Demon level and below.

The winged demon's attack drastically slowed in that instance before Leon sidestepped the trident and gave a lethal kick to the winged demon's head!

Puchi!

The winged demon didn't have time to react before Leon's kick shattered its skull and crushed its brains, killing it one shot.

"N-noble Demon! He's the Noble Demon!" a High-rank Greater Demons shouted with alarm. 

"What! How did the Noble Demon get here?!" 

"Shouldn't the Noble Demon be in the western region?! Did he snuck past the Nine Great Clan's demon army?!"

The revelation immediately shocked the other High-rank and Peak-rank Greater Demons.

The Noble Demon's strength was suspected to be at least at the Arch Demon-level!

None of them was the Noble Demon's opponent!

Alas, Leon did not wait for the demons to recover from their shock; he immediately started slaughtering through their ranks and clearing the site!

All the suppressed Mid-rank Greater Demons and under died like chickens on the chopping board, defenseless and unable to resist!

Nevertheless, Leon focused his attention elsewhere while he slaughtered the demons with his Tier-7 White Spear. 

His divine sense covered the entire area, but he could sense how the Teleportation Array collected the souls of the demons he killed. 

This made him almost doubt his own suspicions on the Teleportation Array!

However, although he failed to sense how the Teleportation Array collected the souls, he could feel the Teleportation Array's changes with every kill. 

It was growing—or rather, the grey crystal orb on it was growing; its aura became denser by the moment.

'This crystal orb must be the containment for the souls,' Leon quickly determined. 

"Quick, activate the gate! The Dark Wyrm Clan is slaughtering us all—!" a distant cry was heard from the western direction.

"Activate the gate! Hurry! Everyone is dying!" 

The demons in the central sea region heard the distant cry again before those on the outer edge of the crowd turned to see a group of disheveled demons swimming their way like they were fleeing for their lives. 

"Hurry—!"

The fleeing group of Greater Demons urged desperately, but the demons in charge of the gate didn't heed their instruction immediately.

Unless they had confirmed the beginning of the sea monster tide or received orders from one of the Nine Great Clans' leaders, they wouldn't operate the gate. 

And even if they wanted to, they couldn't—at least, not with the Noble Demon guarding it.

"Where are the elders and clan leaders?" a Two-headed Cyclops Lesser Demon inquired. 

"Are you all deaf?! Activate the gate at once!" the desperate demons barked furiously, "The Nine Great Clans' leaders and elders are all dead, killed by the Dark Wyrm Clan! And if we don't leave, we'll all die shortly as well!" 

Even with spit and phlegm flying in their faces, the demons in the central sea region didn't feel the same urgency. 

However, that only lasted until they saw the giant dark wyrms slaughtering their way over in the distance. 

"The dark wyrms are here!" the fleeing demons glanced at their rear with horrid looks of despair. 

Very shortly, all the demons in the western part of the central region began swimming madly to the inner sea region.

…

Meanwhile, Leon reattempted to destroy the Teleportation Array, but his Tier-7 White Spear only managed to chip away Teleportation Array's earthen layer. 

Underneath it was an incredibly sturdy metal layer that even his Tier-7 White Spear could barely put a scratch on. 

"Heck, how hard is this thing?" Leon uttered with shock. 

No doubt, the Teleportation Array's second layer was made of Tier-8 materials or even higher!

"Is this starcore iron?! Starcore iron, a grade-6 material, can be this tough after being enchanted with runic powers?!" Leon wondered. 

However, he quickly abandoned that idea.

The hints of brown and red on the black metal layer revealed that it wasn't made of pure starcore iron but a composition of multiple alloys.

While pondering on a solution for the Teleportation Array's destruction, Leon slaughtered every demon that came close to the Teleportation Array.

Eventually, the demons stopped coming at him, completely afraid and intimidated after understanding it wasn't possible to defeat him.

'These demons are slowly being driven into a corner with the dark wyrms closing in on their rear… but there's no need to kill all these demons here… They might have other uses… I'll just pretend to send everyone back with the Teleportation Array before I destroy it,' Leon mused. 

Shortly after, he put on a play in front of them before mentally instructing the realm spirit.

'Except for the Dark Fae Clan, Aria, Darlene, Duna, send back all the other demons and humans who have entered the secret realm together, Tak-si.'

'Yes, Master!' Tak-si quickly complied. 

Swish!

All the demons around Leon disappeared from his sight in the next moment. 

The realm spirit mass-teleported them back to the Starfall Dominion along with the other humans and demons scattered across the secret realm. 

"I planned to let the humans explore the secret realm a bit longer, but they're just going to end up fighting each other when they return to the Infertile Plains and join the battle for hegemony…" Leon muttered to himself. 

It was the perfect opportunity to boot everyone out with minimal suspicion.
