The moment the barrier vanished, everyone present saw the hideous demon.

Panic screams, devastating cries, desperate wails... countless negative emotions instantly swept through the academy.

Several reckless reporters, driven by a desire to boost their own performance, continued to use magic stones to record everything around them.

...

Duke Reeves received a message from the mage beside him. He waved his hand, and a mage stepped forward and handed him a magic stone.

The transparent magic stone was still shimmering, unable to suppress the energy contained within the image.

It looks like it's about to explode any second.

He took it, smiled, placed it on the table, and said to Mrs. Kasanna:

"Madam, I won't say anything more."

"You can see for yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the magic stone emitted a faint glow, and an image was reflected in it.

The most striking sight was the enormous, sky-covering demon, beneath which lay the imprisoned Professor Devon.

The fact that Professor Devon could survive being so close to a demon makes it hard not to suspect that he was in cahoots with the demon.

He seemed to be seeking his last refuge under the demon, while the demon was surrounded by fully armed knights and mages.

That also includes the figure wearing a trench coat.

Victor Clevina.

Lady Kasanna opened her mouth, as if to say something, but Duke Reeves spoke first:

"Mrs. Kasanna, this is a live broadcast."

"If you are interested, you can enter the city at any time now and go to any newspaper office. I estimate that this scene has already spread throughout the capital."

Lady Kasanna bit her lip tightly and said to Revy:

"What do you mean? You're willing to let me into the city now?"

"nature."

Reeve stood up and bowed to her.

"The capital is in trouble. As a duke, it is my duty to go and provide assistance."

Having said that, he nodded to Lady Kasanna and prepared to turn and leave, but was stopped by Lady Kasanna.

A few choices seemed to flash in her eyes.

"Is Devon... really beyond saving?"

Duke Reeves smiled outwardly, but inwardly he sighed.

She hesitated.

When Lady Kasanna began to hesitate, it meant that she was starting to consider whether the Leather family really needed to pay too high a price for a Devon.

Sacrifice the pawn to save the king, cut off the tail to survive.

Moreover, Devon Reiser was not an important figure in the Reiser family.

Instead, he's a useless parasite.

Otherwise, Lady Kasanna wouldn't have gone out of her way to send him to the academy in the capital to be gilded.

So, Reeve explained the pros and cons to Kasanna.

“Lady Kasanna, please think this through carefully. Your son’s collusion with the devil is no small matter.”

“I think His Majesty’s close relationship with the Leather family is not enough to erase the crime of colluding with demons to rebel.”

"Madam, please reconsider."

After saying that, he turned around and waved to Kasanna.

The mage beside him waved the magic orb in his hand, and a burst of stars rose into the sky. Blue light gradually enveloped the mage team and Duke Levi.

In the blink of an eye, it vanished without a trace.

The knights sheathed their weapons, donned their helmets, mounted their horses, and gradually rode away amidst the clatter of hooves.

Kasanna slumped on the sofa, covering her forehead, tears streaming down her face, as if making some kind of decision.

...

The demon slowly opened one eye.

Its eyes are on its forehead, which is its only way of observing its surroundings.

A huge, fluorescent blue magic circle gradually rose beneath its feet, and the unpleasant smell made it extremely uncomfortable.

A bolt of yellow lightning suddenly shot out and struck the demon with a bang, but it had little effect.

A mage's attempt failed, but this angered the demon.

It flew into a rage, stuck out its tongue, and swallowed the mage whole.

"Crackling..."

The sounds of chewing and bones cracking mingled together for a long time before the demon swallowed it with a gulp.

The monks had never seen such a cruel scene before, and many of them screamed in terror.

Even those self-proclaimed righteous knights almost lost their grip on their weapons and shields.

Many people screamed in terror and kept asking questions.

"What...what is this thing?!"

No one could answer him.

Those present knew it was a demon, but when the real demon appeared before them, they dared not even acknowledge it.

Because this is completely different from the demon they imagined; it's more like a world-destroying god.

A third-tier mage stepped forward and shouted:

"Don't panic, everyone! Stand on the magic circle! Our strength is gradually recovering!"

"With so many people here, we will surely defeat this evil demon!"

The noise subsided, but the mages showed no reaction; their demeanor and actions remained unchanged from before.

The demon, seeing the mages' antics, burst into laughter.

"Cowardly humans!"

"You dare to defeat me?!"

Suddenly, a figure leaped into the sky like a streak of light.

Everyone noticed that figure.

Compared to the demon, she appeared incredibly petite, yet she inspired courage in countless people.

"That's... Commander Gwen!?"

Some people recognized them and exclaimed in surprise.

The silver sword seemed to unleash some kind of power in Gwen's hand, bursting forth with white light as dazzling as a blade that could split a mountain.
