The monster may not have understood any of Ariel's other words, but it did react to the word "cat food".

Immediately irritated, it went into a hunting stance as it circled around Shermen.

As if it had found an opportunity, its huge body turned into a shadow and lunged at Reji and Shermen.

*Bang!*

Shermen's head-on punch collided with the monster's covered claws, unexpectedly, the monster was not actually sent flying, but blocked with its claws, Shermen then added a second punch before sending the monster flying and crashing into the wall of the restaurant.

Shermen frowned slightly at the scene, her eyes fixed on the monster's claws.

It turned out that at the moment of contact with Shermen, its forelimbs had turned into sharp blades. Such specialization of transforming hands into weapons is a very characteristic trait of a specific race among the demons.

Sword Demon.

Shermen didn't relax due to the strength gap; she pursued the victory, attacking the blasted monster aggressively. Without using any magic, she simply swung her fists, furiously bombarding the monster's head with a barrage.

From Reji's perspective, Shermen's punches landed solidly, using her disproportionately small body to beat the six to seven-meter monster bloody and screaming in agony.

However, Reji also noticed that even though the monster was completely suppressed by Shermen and couldn't fight back at all, its vitality was so tenacious that it was a little outrageous.

Although the current Shermen did not use the technique, and only used less than 15% of her power, but the fact that the monster still had the energy to struggle after so many punches was a testament to its horror.

The places on the monster's body where Shermen had beaten it bloody were healing rapidly over time. The flesh at the wounds wriggled, and some flesh and worm-like products were frantically repairing the monster's damage. This was why it could still hold on under Shermen's attacks.

This scene was somewhat familiar to Reji.

Strong self-healing powers are characteristics of two races among demons, the Breeding Demon and the Decay Demon. The former reproduces infinitely like fungi spores, while the latter relies on a type of worm that coexists with flesh and blood.

And now, Reji was seeing these traits, which should belong to demons, on this monster.

Reji watched for a while, but unfortunately the monster didn't reveal any new information behind it, so without much delay, Reji ordered the Shadow Demon Apostle directly:

"Shermen, I give you permission to use magic to end this fight."

The profession of the Shadow Demon was that of a scout.

In terms of one-on-one combat power, it was actually at the bottom of the list among the nine major races of demons.

The Shadow Demons won in functionality and flexibility.

Reji previously refrained Shermen from using her spells in was actually tantamount to weakening Shermen's power by 90%, and now, after receiving Reji's order to break the blockade, Shermen immediately stopped holding back.

Immediately, a large area of shadows merged from behind Shermen's back, transforming into a Shadow Palm that was simply more gigantic than the monster.

The next thing the shadow palm did was to slap the monster in the face.

With just that slap.

The battle was instantly over.

By the time Shermen's shadow palm was raised again, the zombie cat that had just been there had turned into a pile of meat paste on the ground.

No matter how sharp its claws were.

No matter how terrifying its self-healing ability was.

Under absolute power, all were insignificant.

On the other side.

When Ariel saw her beloved Bululu being flattened into a piece of meat paste by a single blow, she was neither shocked nor saddened, on the contrary, this young lady now seemed to be attracted to Shermen with all her attention.

No, to be precise, she was attracted to the shadowy palm that Shermen had summoned behind her back.

The noble Missy stared intently at the shadow hand.

Then she asked Shermen in an incredulous voice: "Are you also a demon?!"

It was obvious.

Ariel recognized Shermen's shadow hand.

But she seemed to know little about it.

The young lady shook her head quickly, as if in some kind of brain confusion, and muttered, "No, that's not right! It can't be! Daddy also cultivates spells from the Shadow Clan, the Shadow Hand that Daddy summoned is only half a meter at most, but you, the one you just had".

Shermen's Shadow Hand had just been able to crush a gigantic zombie cat into a meat cake, and the surface of the palm alone was ten meters wide.

Therefore, the current Ariel, who was filled with disbelief, holding her head and shaking it in an unacceptable manner, didn't even run away, but took the initiative to rush towards Shermen's position as if she was having a seizure.

"Tell me! Tell me quickly! You, how the hell did you do that? Who the hell are you?

You must be from the Empire, right?"

"How far have you swallowed your demon seed? Refined your demon energy? Forged a demonic body? No.

My father has already forged a demonic body, so you, you."

As if Ariel had finally got her veins in order, she rounded her eyes and said exuberantly, with a wild look in Shermen's direction, I got it! Ariel knows now, you have already condensed a demonic core, right? No wonder. No wonder!!"

"Damn it! Ariel should have thought of it! Only a fellow demon could have such skin, such a temperament, yes, this is what Ariel wants, to become an immortal! An undying!

Quick, let Ariel see your demonic core!"

Shermen ignored Ariel, who had rushed up to her.

She had nothing to show this human.

On the contrary.

Several Shadow Hands were summoned from behind Shermen's back and they grabbed Ariel, who had thrown herself into the net, and in the next moment.

"Ahhhh-!!!"

"Bastard! It hurts!!! Ooohhhhhh! It hurts so much aaaaaaahhhh!"

A piercing scream erupted as Ariel's delicate stomach was mercilessly slit open by Shermen's shadow blade.

The noble lady, who had always been well-behaved, had obviously never experienced this before and the sharp pain of tearing flesh and blood made her scream and yell madly.

But Shermen showed no mercy.

Even to prevent Ariel's screams from disturbing her king, Shermen separated a separate hand of shadow and reached directly into the young lady's mouth, pouring it down her throat and completely blocking her voice.

After that, Shermen's remaining shadow hand began to search and feel around Ariel's shaved abdomen, and not a moment later, Shermen seemed to have found a target and yanked it violently out.

*Swish!*

Just like the original Illuminati magician, another purple-black demonic egg was separated from Ariel's body by Shermen.

However, this ' demon egg ' was obviously much darker and larger in color depth, and size than the one inside the previous mage, Bru.

Now, even after being briefly separated from its host, it didn't change much and seemed to be able to hold on.

And the next thing that surprised Reji even more was.

"Hahh!?. What!?"

"What is this!!!"

"What are you doing? Take it away! Get it off me!!!"

Obviously it had been taken out of Ariel's body, and Ariel had been talking about the "demon race" earlier.

But when Ariel saw the Demon Egg in Shermen's hand, it was as if she was seeing it for the first time, and even the severe pain of her stomach being torn apart was overshadowed, and she showed an extremely frightened and disgusted expression while struggling madly.

Seeing this, Reji became thoughtful.

"Put it back first." After a moment's thought, Reji allowed Shermen to retrieve it first for the sake of the sample, as there had been a previous example of a demon egg dying quickly when it left its host.

"You will not die a good death! Devils! Devils!!"

"Take it out! Get the damn thing out of me!!!"

Amidst Ariel's struggling screams, Shermen put the demon egg back into her stomach.

As soon as it came into contact with Ariel's flesh and blood, the demon egg didn't even need Shermen to do anything, it began to burrow into Ariel's body automatically.

When Ariel saw that the egg, which made her nauseous and physiologically uncomfortable, had actually entered her body, the young lady's eyes actually blackened, as if she had been severely mentally stimulated, and she immediately fainted.

'Hmm. This trip really was full of gains'

Reji had originally planned to let Shermen go and contact the Wisdom Demon to share the latest information, and then they would meet to discuss the secret behind the 'Demon Egg'.

'But what he didn't expect, Was an even bigger "surprise" waiting for him'

"My King, I've just sent the Shadow Messengers to inspect this human mansion."

"There is one place, that I think my king needs to see."

Shadow messenger was the ability of the Shadow Demon to use shadows to scout the environment, and as long as there were shadows, they could not escape the eyes of the Shadow Demon.

Then, led by Shermen, Reji quickly arrived at a secret basement in the count's mansion.

As Reji pushed open the door to the dark basement, the next scene presented him with an image that immediately made him understand the reason why Shermen attached such importance to this place.

Inside the basement, there were many people who had been brutally abused and mistreated, and the cruelty of their methods made it difficult for Reji to even look at them directly.

However, Shermen obviously had no feelings for them, and the "important discovery" she referred to was certainly not these tortured humans.

Instead In this group of imprisoned and tortured humans, there is a group of people with pointed ears, wheat-gold hair and dark green pupils.

So iconic that it could only exist in one race.

Reji could recognise them at a glance.

They were

Elves.
