Chapter 200: The Golden Pillar
A pillar of golden light split the sky of the devil territory. Because the golden pillar was so conspicuous in the night, its light was visible even from Fanalis Town and beyond. The dark night of the devil territory, where Aldrian stood, became as bright as day. The devils who looked at this golden light felt their hearts shake, they couldn’t believe they had tried to hold someone with this kind of power. No, they were delusional to think they could catch Aldrian.
The Lust Devil looked at the golden pillar with a rigid smile. From this pillar, he could sense a power strong enough to kill—no, to be exact, to obliterate him if he didn’t do something.
"Fuck!"

A few minute earlier.
In the area where the city fortress of Karak was located, Grand Duke Rivas gazed at the distant scenery of the vast grassland, now marked with many traces of battle. His expression seemed pensive, as if deep in thought. Not long ago, he had received information that made him raise his brows. It was good news, a welcome change after a string of bad tidings he had received recently. The invasion force of devils that had tried to attack Vicanti had been defeated, and even Ilyon had already been retaken.
At first, he didn’t believe that the situation had suddenly flipped, given how pessimistic things had seemed. Even with reinforcements from the imperial family, they couldn’t easily thwart the devils, who were like crazed war dogs. However, after sending someone to confirm the information, he was surprised to hear that it was true, and all the witnesses provided their testimony. It was the appearance of one person that had flipped the entire battlefield.
He wondered, who was this person? Was he an emperor-stage existence? All the testimonies claimed that this person was only at the peak Earl stage, but he doubted that was his true cultivation. Not only had he acted in Vicanti, but it was also said that this person had liberated Ilyon—the place where his daughter had last been seen. This brought some relief to his heart, as they could now check on his daughter’s condition.
"An incoming attack!"
