Madara was very weak after completing the ritual, but once his essence was replenished, the road ahead would be much easier.

It was all worth it, but now he's useless. Call Chiba to watch over Madara, make sure nothing happens to him.

After that, he took Dihen with him to meet the guys who dared to cause trouble at this time and see how many heads they actually had.

When they got outside, they were surprised to see the battle unfolding before them. Aizen was dragging a huge, emaciated dog.

This thing is as tall as a three-story building and nearly twenty meters long. It has very little flesh on its body; it's all skin and bones.

The other is an aggregate monster, which looks like a large heap of flesh, covered in various limbs.

Dragged along by Aizen's demonic spirits, Xuan Jian and Wen Bing, relying on their weapon's advantage, tried their best to maneuver.

The Yin-Yang Decree can deflect attacks, and the Blade of the Sun can grant immunity to infection, thus immediately countering the main abilities of the Aggregator Monster.

However, their combined strength was too low to outlast the aggregated monsters. If it weren't for the demon spirit, things would have been dire.

Aizen's strongest ability is genjutsu, and his attacks cannot break through the dog's defenses.

His foundation and talent are both good, but he has only been recruited for a short time.

The quality of our strength is alright, but the quantity is terrible. This is a common problem in our faction; everyone has this issue.

I have the same problem, but my "quality" is so high that it's a bit better.

But it's frustrating that I can only manage a few hits each time, and this time was no different.

The moment the dog makes eye contact with me, it immediately tries to run away; clearly, it's intelligent and knows how to avoid danger.

However, the aggregation monster didn't react and kept trying to infect Xuan Jian and the other two; it was just acting on instinct.

The decision to cut down the leather-bag dog first was made in an instant.

Aizen instantly transformed and increased his power output to stop it.

I immediately gathered my strength and prepared my ultimate move, "One Thunderclap to Decide the Result," which was truly a move that would determine life or death upon first sight.

Aizen used his full power to control the leather-clad dog for a while.

It is, after all, a demon, and is inherently chaotic and evil. Illusion magic naturally reduces its effectiveness against it.

If it were a human being in the fourth stage of life, they might not recover until death.

If the leather-bag dog weren't intelligent, illusions wouldn't work on it, and the aggregate monster next to it is completely immune to illusions.

Without using the energy blade, he went straight for the divine weapon's main body, directly throwing out the Emperor's Hatred in his hand.

He swung the weapon at the dog's head; the sharpness of the divine weapon was indeed superior to its skull.

The entire Emperor's Hatred was thrust directly into his head, and all its energy exploded within it.

The dog with the bag was instantly shot in the head. Luckily, it was a biological creature, so it didn't continue fighting even after losing its head, otherwise it would have been a real problem.

Aizen and I both breathed a sigh of relief. With one person dealt with, things would be much easier. We could reclaim the Emperor's Hatred.

Go and relieve Xuan Jian and the other one right away, otherwise they'll be exhausted.

Wen Bing was too tired to speak, while Xuan Jian was a little better but was still panting heavily.

Aizen took the Blade of the Sun and joined me in attacking the Aggregator Monster; its attack ceiling wasn't high.

However, a body covered in fat is more difficult to deal with than a skinny dog; its infectiousness is simply unstoppable.

You can eat while you fight, so in the end you can only slowly wear it down.

The Sun Blade's power was a perfect counter to it, effectively neutralizing its infection ability.

Otherwise, the air would be filled with its infected cells, and people would develop problems after a short time.

But now, all we need to do is guard against it spraying out large chunks of rotting flesh.

Even the smallest cells would be incinerated by the sun's power; if the sun were a divine weapon...

These kinds of demons can be burned to death directly; for now, the only option is to defend against them.

Xuan Jian led Wen Bing to the side, his hand gripping the divine weapon so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

This revealed his inner turmoil, which wasn't as calm as his outward appearance suggested. Wen Bing, however, had no time to concern himself with anything else.

Joining the organization and immediately facing demons from all four realms—that's a bit too exciting!

If it were him, he would have been dead long ago; all he would have left is the strength to breathe.
