Volume One: The Nature of the Devil Does Not Change, and the Heart of the Dead Devil Regrets Nothing
Lin Yuan spoke with intense focus on Scarlet King's movements, speaking a bit roughly as he looked at the massive destruction that had happened in the village:
Why did you do this? Tell me—why did you slaughter all the village residents? Speak!-
Scarlet King answered with a very cold laugh, waving mockingly:
Haha, I did it only to increase my power. But now there's an extra person who will increase my power.-
Lin Yuan wondered what he meant. He stared at Scarlet King sharply and spoke in a serious voice, prepared to attack Scarlet King:
What do you mean?-
But before he could process it, he saw Scarlet King's fist in front of his face, and with tremendous force Lin Yuan was driven backward for about 50 meters. After the dust cleared, it became clear that Lin Yuan had blocked the strike with his arm, but the sleeves of his yellow robe were torn from the force of the blow, and a faint redness appeared on Lin Yuan's arm. Still, he spoke with a light laugh:
Is that all?-
Lin Yuan moved at a speed beyond Scarlet King's reaction time and threw a strike toward his jaw. Scarlet King was hit and was hurled violently into the sky, flying upward to a height of 500 meters within seconds. Lin Yuan leapt after Scarlet King at high speed, and the force of his jump shattered the ground beneath him. Then he struck Scarlet King in the back from behind, causing Scarlet King to fall to the ground like a meteor.
Lin Yuan did not move from the sky, but he thought to himself:
( Damn, that hit was really strong. I think this person's strength is at a level capable of destroying some large buildings. )
Lin Yuan shifted his gaze to look at the heavy destruction in the village and noticed the amount of corpses, skulls, and bones scattered across the ground. He wondered to himself:
( Did this person really eat people alive!!? )
Before Lin Yuan could see more, Scarlet King moved toward Lin Yuan with a powerful leap from the ground and flew up into the sky toward him, striking him on the cheek with such force that Lin Yuan was sent flying far through the air. But then another attack came from behind—by the shadow. It emerged from the darkness behind Lin Yuan's back, producing a giant hammer, with a demonic clown-like smile and wide white eyes, and crushed Lin Yuan's head with a blow that sent him crashing onto one of the houses in the direction of the shadow's strike with overwhelming force.
...But when he slammed into the roof of the house, he found Scarlet King there, his mouth filled with blood from the blow Lin Yuan had previously landed, wearing a mocking smile. Scarlet King struck Lin Yuan hard in the stomach, sending him flying at high speed, smashing through ten house walls, and crashing to the ground from the impact of the attack. The area filled with dust, rocks, and blood from Lin Yuan and Scarlet King.
But then a beam of energy shot out from the place where Lin Yuan had fallen, aimed at Scarlet King. Fortunately, Scarlet King dodged the strike, which split the mountain's head into two halves. Lin Yuan flew out from the destroyed house, his robe torn and scratches across his body, and he shouted loudly so Scarlet King could hear him:
Hahahaha! I have to admit, no one has even scratched me since I was born. But I realized that fighting someone equal to me in strength is very fun. Let's continue the fight, Scarlet King!-
Lin Yuan charged toward Scarlet King, who was inside the ruined house, and their fists collided, producing a shockwave that destroyed all the surrounding houses and sent Scarlet King's bamboo hat flying away, while Lin Yuan's clothes and Scarlet King's clothes tore further.
They began exchanging blows. Lin Yuan punched Scarlet King's waist, and Scarlet King answered with a punch under Lin Yuan's jaw. Lin Yuan answered with a strike to Scarlet's cheek, and Scarlet answered with a blow under Lin Yuan's belt, making Lin Yuan feel immense pain. But Scarlet King did not stop—he struck again under the belt, and more than once. From the pain, Lin Yuan retreated and flew a little farther away from Scarlet King, and Lin Yuan spoke angrily:
Damn you, bastard—where's the fair fight? I'm going to end up castrated because of you!-
But suddenly he heard a very loud impact as the shadow slammed into another wall from the force of a strike. The shadow's body was shattered, but it turned into darkness and returned beneath Scarlet King's shadow. From the place where the shadow had been thrown, Scarlet King and Lin Yuan looked and saw someone emerge: a person of medium height, but with a completely black body, eyes inside his chest, a demonic smile with sharp teeth on his face, and a face with no eyes or nose. Strange red tattoo-like markings moved across his black body. Scarlet King was shocked by what kind of creature this was. His eyes widened and he spoke in shock:
A creature of Chaos!?-
The chaotic creature turned to Scarlet King and spoke in a very rough voice:
Oh, it's strange for someone to know my kind, especially since we live from the seventh dimension to the eleventh dimension. But good—there is someone who knows my kind, because I want to talk. I don't want to fight, and my name is Ikalat.-
But Lin Yuan fired a red beam attack at Ikalat, and Ikalat dodged the attack easily.
