Bang Bang Bang...... The violent impacts shattered all the windows, and the enemy infiltrators stormed into our room. They even attacked our room! Are they desperate or do they have precise information?

Elena was still in my arms. As the ceiling collapsed, I used Spatial Magic to scan the entire house, and the only intact place was the bathroom.

"Nofice, protect this place!" I gave Nofice the command before leaving.

"I'll be back!" I ran my fingers through Elena's golden fluffy hair. Elena was not in a suitable mental state to use Magic.

Dozens of gunners entered the room, each holding a uniform magic gun, and they all began firing wildly in the room.

The enemy hadn't expected such a fierce attack, but it was clear that the gunners' frantic behavior made sense if the Duke wasn't here—they couldn't let anyone escape.

Almost all of the infiltrators were already prepared for death. When they realized that their target was not present, they clearly gave up struggling and were defenseless against the barrage of bullets.

Only one person was trying to escape. When the situation in the room turned unfavorable, he immediately turned around and planned to jump out of the dilapidated outer wall. However, the sky was filled with the Os Empire's flying air force, and a barrier was set up from top to bottom. To escape, he had to make it before the barrier reached the bottom of the building.

"Damn it!" The infiltrator punched the wall, smashing it and escaping the room.

"So, you were the one who caused the damage to our roof!"

I appeared in front of the infiltrator, wanting to capture him alive!

"Kid, don't mess with me!" The infiltrator's tone was quite irritable.

A white light appeared in my hand! The infiltrator furrowed his brows. "Spirit-capturing Radiance?"

Anyone touched by this light would enter a brief state of confusion, greatly reducing their resistance.

"Hmm? He ran away!" I reached out and stopped the pursuing gunners.

"Don't chase him, he's a Divine-ranked!" Duan Yu sent a Divine-ranked to carry out the ambush mission, preparing for any situation. They were still afraid of Duke Qin and couldn't be completely sure that he had lost all combat power. By bringing in a Divine-ranked to fight him to the death if necessary, it would also deliver another severe blow to Osri. However, he hadn't expected them to fall into this trap.

"But our mission is to eliminate them all!"

"I'll handle it!"

I followed the aura of the infiltrator and found that he had disappeared in a corner of the building. However, I found something on the ground—it was some disguised Magic material powder. It should have been taken down from the ventilation above my head. Who could have placed these materials in the building beforehand!

Disguise doesn't matter; I can only go to one place—the bottom floor of the building.

"Snap!" A crisp sound rang out from the bottom floor of the building.

"If you get captured, it should be the disintegration of Duan Yu's military morale this time!"

The infiltrator removed the disguise Magic from his body and looked at the gradually lowering barrier outside the door with a furious expression.

"Sigh, I've already said it, don't mess with me!"

"It seems like... you're not willing to accept this mission."

"Nonsense, as a Divine-ranked, making me an infiltrator is an insult!" He was extremely proud when it came to being a Divine-ranked. Overwhelmingly defeating the opponent was what a powerful Magic practitioner should do!

"Well then... if you don't want to be an infiltrator, then be a warrior here!"

"No objections. I have no other choice." Steel and cement began to fall off around the infiltrator, forming floating blocks of earth magic at his side.

"Your opponent is not me, it's him!"

The ice stabbed through the earth, and the infiltrator suddenly startled as a cold sensation swept through, casting a pale blue hue over the entire moonlit scene.

The two fists collided together, the sealed space filled with the clash of water and earth elements, resembling the soldiers on the battlefield charging forward under the encouragement of their general. The clash left behind a dazzling display of blue and yellow lights.

"We've been on watch outside for so long and yet we didn't find you!"

"If even I can be found by you all, then I should step down from my throne!"

"Throne?"

"Remember my name, Guyeru!" Forst Lord is intentionally misleading; in the divine, human, and demon realms, only those who know his true name can be counted on one hand, the rest are all destined to be lost souls!

I found a small stool in the corner and sat at the entrance. It's not that I don't want to join the fight, but Forst Lord said he wanted to confirm whether his transformation was only superficial. Also, by sitting here, I am reinforcing this fragile battleground, or else it would have collapsed long ago.

In this barehanded confrontation, the divine-level infiltrator realized that he had no advantage in terms of stamina and instead resorted to using Magic in the battle.

The ground erupted with various hard soil formations, in a non-patterned and random manner, something only a divine-level could achieve.

"Hey hey, not fast enough!" Forst Lord's figure darted through the formations.

"........" The infiltrator secretly drew out clumps of soil from the ground, crushed them, and fired them like shotgun pellets. This action was only a distraction. I could clearly feel that he had been continuously driving away the water element in this space, which was highly disadvantageous for him. The earth element was not enough to support his use of large-scale Magic.

Suddenly, the infiltrator fiercely hammered the ground, causing rocks to protrude and envelop him in a sphere.

"What are you doing? Hiding like a timid turtle?" Forst Lord jumped onto the sphere and knocked on it.

"I think he's using the rock enclosure to enhance his earth element! Smash it!"

Forst Lord suddenly realized and vigorously kicked with his right foot, smashing the rocks without hesitation. The rocks fell as fast as lightning!

"Diamond?"

The entire body of the infiltrator was covered in a layer of sparkling transparent crystals, with clear-cut angles and high refractive index. My first reaction was that it was diamond, although it was only a thin layer. It seems that time was insufficient, and that's the thickest it could get.

Forst Lord swiftly kept his distance, as it was necessary to maintain a certain distance until he fully understood the situation.

Trapped in the crystal, the infiltrator had a sudden inspiration. Seizing the opportunity, he turned around with the sharpest part of his body aimed at me, intending to break through me and the barrier with this sturdy crystal body!

"Do you really think I'm a child?" Golden flames protected my hands as I forcibly grabbed hold of his shoulders.

"You all..."

"This time, you can't escape!" I locked eyes with the infiltrator, and a pale blue light emitted from my eyes, with words appearing on my eyeballs - another method of using Camera Magic.

"Smack!" Forst Lord once again used his strong right leg to shatter the crystal on the infiltrator's back, and Forst Lord's magic pierced through the infiltrator's body.

The infiltrator's legs went weak as he fell to his knees, transitioning from a dazed state of mind to deep unconsciousness.

"Put away your Light Magic. I really hate it. If you hadn't been suppressing it all along, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold back!" Forst Lord stroked his fist, ready to strike at any moment.

"You can endure this long, which means that as long as the gods and demons restrain themselves a little, they are not necessarily hostile, right?"

"Heh, not every demon can endure." Frost Lord lifted the unconscious infiltrator and turned around to leave.

"Hey, aren't you going to help restore this place?"

"I don't have that kind of habit!" Frost Lord waved goodbye to me with my back turned.
