Plop . Link jumped out of the airs.h.i.+p and landed in the forest a few miles south of the Orida Fortress .

"Wait nearby for me!" he called . After waving to Lannie inside the airs.h.i.+p, he began rus.h.i.+ng over to the Orida Fortress .

After a while, he walked out of the forest and onto the wide road . Here, he walked while observing the footprints on the ground . It had rained a few days ago, and the ground was muddy . He could easily see the footprints .

A while later, he sighed . There are demon footprints but not too many . They're messy too, so they should be running disorderly . It's not too troublesome .

Confirming that the demons didn't have a large-scale southward migration, Link was much more relaxed . He cast the Invisibility spell on himself and sped towards the fortress .

Ten minutes later, he was below the Orida Fortress .

It had only been ten days since that final battle . The demons wouldn't clear the battlefield either, so the fortress still looked the same as that day .

The dirt was all red and littered with corpses . Because it was winter and the temperature was low, the corpses were only slightly decayed . The air was filled with the heavy smell of death . Outside the fortress, there were wild dogs and vultures everywhere . They tore at the endless corpses .

Reaching the first layer of walls, Link saw a Level-1 demon gnawing on a body . Its lips smacked and looked like it was enjoying the meal . Link ignored the demon and went around it .

Maybe it was because they were closer . The low-level demon felt something and stopped eating . It made a noise and looked in Link's direction . The pair of yellow vertical pupils stared where Link was standing with suspicion .

Link decided to walk over . He twirled his sword and with a stabbed the demon's head . With a clean sound, the demon was nailed to the ground .

The commotion was very small and didn't alert the higher-level demons . Link pulled his sword out and continued forward .

At the inner square of the Orida Fortress, the situation was more h.e.l.lish than h.e.l.l . There were at least three layers of corpses piled on the ground . Blood formed various small puddles on the ground . The bodies of humans, Dark Elves, and demons formed mountains .

Many demons squatted in the sea of blood and mountain of bodies . It seemed to be lunchtime . The demons grabbed casually at the bodies . Some ate humans, but most ate Dark Elves .

The reason was simple: Link had cooked the Dark Elves, and they were less rotten . They tasted better .

Crack, smack . Mmm…

The sounds of cracking bones, tearing at meat, and swallowing b.l.o.o.d.y water all mixed together . It sent chills down one's spine .

This was true h.e.l.l!

Even though Link had witnessed countless tragedies before, this still made his scalp numb . All he wanted to do now was to burn it all with fire!

He counted the demons before him . There were around 18000 . At least this saved Link the time from finding them all .

Standing at the tunnel door of the city wall, Link started casting spells . Rather than offensive spells, he used Spatial Spheres .

Poof, poof . Two Spatial Spheres flew out . One landed at the opening while one landed in a hole not too far away . Then there was a burst, and two Spatial Restraints appeared, blocking the exits .

"Huh?"

"Who's there?"

"What happened?"

The demons were surprised . They stopped feasting and looked to the door . Link canceled the Invisibility spell and stood near the door . Gazing around the square, he said, "I'm back . "

The demons exchanged glances .

"Who's that?"

"He's covered in fog . I can't see his face . "

"He's alone . Did he bring fresh food?"

The demon closest to Link roared menacingly and rushed over at him . It was a Level-6 Blade Demon . It was more than eight feet tall, and its hands had transformed into swords . Its body was like a praying mantis, so it had another name—the Mantis Demon .

He went into a hunting pose and pounced at Link .

Link didn't move . He activated the surround attack effect of the Dragon King's Fury sword . At the same time, he activated the Demon Slayer Whip . A thin string whipped towards the Mantis Demon .

Kapoof! With a strange sound, the demon was halved in the air . The cut was scalding, and plumes of hot steam rolled out .

The other demons had been getting ready, but seeing this, they all froze . Many even retreated .

"I recognize him . He's Link, the human Magician!"

"Didn't the Princess go capture him? Where is Her Highness?"

"Did something happen to her?"

The princess was gone, but the terrifying human Magician was back . He'd even sealed off the exits . What was he doing? Was this going to be a ma.s.sacre?

The demons stared at one another awkwardly . They felt doubtful and fearful . They didn't have a commander and were clueless as to what they should do .

Link walked forward . His murderous intent was to the extreme . He'd become cold and calm like an icy lake . "To be honest, you're all corpses to me already," he said in a frigid tone .

"Presumptuous! Kill him!" A Fodor Flaming Demon shot up and charged at Link .

"He's alone!"

"We're not failures like those Dark Elves!"

The battle had begun!

The demons started charging, but Link moved forward instead of retreating . Spatial Restraint, Instant Flash, the Demon Slayer's Whip, crowd attack effect, and the a.s.sa.s.sin's Robe were all activated instantaneously and cast at once .

Fiery red fog appeared and covered the entire square within seconds . Then it grew heavier, heavier, and heavier until it blocked all vision .

. . .

Orida Fortress

Duke Abel patrolled the inside of the fortress as usual . Only then could he calm the more and more obvious restlessness .

It had been ten days, and there was still no news of Link . He was anxious .

But as the general, he couldn't show any of those emotions . While patrolling, he endlessly cheered the soldiers on . It had only been ten days, but he was already mentally and physically exhausted .

Now, the only good news was that the demons outside the fortress were reducing . He didn't know why but it was still encouraging .

Just then, a soldier ran over .

Abel furrowed his brows . He recognized this soldier to be a sentinel from the rooftop . "What's the hurry?"

"Something strange happened inside the fortress . Duke, I think you should take a look . "

Duke Abel's heart jumped . "I'll go now . Who else knows?"

"General Kanorse, Princess Annie, High Elf Romilson, and the others are all there," the sentinel reported .

As they spoke, Duke Abel arrived at the rooftop . He could look down on the entire fortress from here . Doing so, he discovered a very obvious ball of fiery red fog above the square in the distance .

The fog was very thick so he couldn't see the exact situation . He couldn't hear outside the fortress either due to the barriers .

"Does anyone know what's happening?" Duke Abel asked .

No one replied . After half a minute, Romilson said hesitantly, "It looks like Master Link's power, but it's too far away . I can't tell . "

"Kanorse, what do you say?" Duke Abel asked .

Kanorse shook his head . "I don't think so . Look at the fog . It's fiery red and a bit transparent as well . Instead of fog, it looks like water… No, it's like a ball of burning fire . Look, the air above it is distorted . It should be the fire's heat waves . Master Link isn't that strong .

"Look, that demon wants to climb out . " Annie suddenly pointed at a black spot on the wall .

Everyone squinted and saw a Fodor Flaming Demon appear on the tall fortress wall . It looked really pathetic . Its entire body was scorched black, and smoke rose up from it .

That wasn't it . Its body was still on fire . The fire was very strange—the flames were as beautiful as crystals . The Fodor Flaming Demon continuously used his strength to extinguish the flames but to no avail .

Not only were the flames not put out, but they grew even bigger!

The demon seemed to be screaming . Its entire body on fire, it stumbled for a few dozen feet on the wall . Then it dropped to the ground .

The fire continued burning . Under everyone's eyes, the demon was burned to ashes .

"It's very pure flame power," Romilson couldn't help but say . "I've never seen anything like this before . It's unbelievable!"

Kanorse stared at the red fog and whispered, "Clearly, a very powerful figure has arrived . It is highly possible that it is the reinforcements Master Link found . This power reminds me of the Legendary dragons . "

Duke Abel also stared unblinkingly . The red fog would dissipate sooner or later, and they would see the truth .

It didn't take long . After around ten minutes, the fog started thinning . Then with a whoosh, the fog broke apart . A young black-haired man in a dark blue battle robe jumped onto the wall .

"It's Master Link!" someone yelped .

"How can it be him?"

"When did he become so strong?"

Just as everyone was in shock, a Dimensional Demon appeared behind Link . It was covered in flames as if wanting to make a suicidal attack .

Everyone yelped involuntarily . But then they saw Link stab backward without even looking back . His sword glinted, and the demon was cut into two . It screamed and fell from the wall .

Seeing this, Duke Abel let out a sigh of relief . "We're safe . Activate the s.h.i.+eld and open the gate," he ordered . "Welcome the Lord of Ferde back!"

He didn't know why Link suddenly became this powerful, but the demons were defeated . That was enough .
