Chapter 78: Stirring Up a Hornet’s Nest

Even though the strength of this suddenly arrived Pure Energy Creature, the Seraphim, was suppressed in four-dimensional space, the upper limit of its attacks still exceeded Lin Lei.

Fortunately, it could only launch ordinary energy attacks without merging the rules of dimensions, so Lin Lei had room to maneuver around it.

But this time, Lin Lei had miscalculated. As soon as the Seraphim appeared, it did not attack Lin Lei. Instead, it shot a intense beam of light toward a spot in the sky, as if sending a signal.

Then, while Lin Lei was stunned, Priest Fario’s body began to disintegrate. At the same time, a rich golden energy spread out very fast, soon covering the entire sky within Lin Lei’s line of sight.

Regardless, he had to leave here quickly. Lin Lei started calling the Sky Shuttle, preparing to teleport away the moment the time was right.

But to Lin Lei’s dumbfounded surprise, he did not receive any response, as if the Sky Shuttle did not exist.

The Seraphim soon returned to its energy Subspace because its energy consumption reached the limit, but the sky’s color had already turned from blue to a sheet of gold.

Lin Lei traveled at a high speed exceeding eight times the speed of sound in one direction for nearly five minutes. The color of the sky was still a monotonous golden hue, and the visible sky in the distance was the same.

He tried contacting the Sky Shuttle again, but there was still no response. Lin Lei began to understand a little. The guy who summoned the Seraphim wanted to trap him on this planet. He had sealed the planet’s space using some method Lin Lei did not understand.

And the beam he fired earlier, needless to say, was definitely transmitting information about the Demon invasion. If Lin Lei did not leave soon, a great pursuit would surely be waiting for him.

Lin Lei had considered flying out of Montokas Star directly using the Mecha, but his Sky Shuttle was parked on the Agana satellite, nearly 400,000 kilometers away from Montokas Star.

The Mecha was designed for combat. The Demon Crystallized Mecha’s maximum speed within the atmosphere could only reach 20 times the speed of sound, which was about 6 kilometers per second. At this speed, the Mecha’s Protective Force Field and any attacks would shut down due to losing energy supply.

But the tragic thing was that Montokas Star’s first cosmic velocity, or orbital velocity, actually reached 8.5 kilometers per second, a bit larger than Earth’s.

Even if Lin Lei flew for a lifetime, he would just be circling Montokas Star, still within the giant gravitational hand of the planet.

At this moment, at the station of the Star Alliance Guard, the medical staff monitoring Yan Siyu’s physical condition cried out in surprise.

Yuan Shanxing came to the monitoring instrument immediately, followed closely by Xiao Boru.

“How is the situation?! Has the Curse been lifted?” Even Yuan Shanxing, who usually had a detached personality, spoke with great urgency at this moment.

Xiao Boru carefully looked at Yan Siyu’s physical condition, exhaled a long breath, and said, “It seems Lin Lei succeeded. The Dimensional String entangled in Yan Siyu’s body is dissipating quickly. Next, we can proceed with routine treatment.”

“Excellent! He really did it. He will surely come back soon.” Yuan Shanxing’s face was filled with joy. The Saint who had been troubling the Star Alliance Guard was finally successfully killed today.

With the first time, after Lin Lei returns and we study specific tactics, there will be a second time, a third time!

But things did not go as planned. An observer from the Star Alliance walked over quickly: “Captain, an abnormal energy disturbance has appeared on Montokas Star. A power ful energy standing wave is spreading rapidly from Lin Lei’s mission location to the entire planet at a speed of 500 kilometers per second. Teleportation will be impossible on Montokas Star for half a month. Lin Lei is trapped there.”

Obviously, Lin Lei’s assassination of the Saint was successful, but he had also stirred up a hornet’s nest!

Yuan Shanxing’s face immediately darkened, while Xiao Boru kept a tight face, not knowing what he was thinking.

After all, the Star Alliance Guard’s station in the Andromeda Galaxy was just a small branch. Moreover, they were in the away territory of the Andromeda Galaxy. The entire Guard could only hide inside a pseudo-black hole to conduct assassinations and instigate rebellions. But when truly facing the mainstream power of the Andromeda Galaxy, they could not play any role.

At this moment, after thinking for a long time, Yuan Shanxing made a choice between the safety of the Star Alliance Guard and the life of a powerful warrior. He chose to abandon Lin Lei.

“Continue observing. Report any new situation immediately!” Yuan Shanxing ordered.

At this time, his action clearly meant letting Lin Lei fend for himself on Montokas.

Just then, Xiao Boru silently left the observation room. His small figure quickly disappeared into the Star Alliance station.

…

At this moment, it was not just the Star Alliance watching Montokas Star. The three major forces of the Main Plane of the Andromeda Galaxy also focused their eyes on this Life Planet.

It was for no other reason than a Demon invading from the Abyss and killing an Archmage. The shock caused to the higher-ups even exceeded the disaster of Roland City’s destruction.

In the Holy City, at the Light Council, more than a dozen elders shrouded in holy light held an emergency meeting to discuss a solution for this event.

“Priest Fario sacrificed himself and summoned the Seraphim to seal Montokas. At this moment, that Demon is trapped there. According to the information Fario finally sent back, this Demon is the Demon Lord Fretaza who has appeared before! He was notorious in ancient epics. Archmage Saint Anthony, as a strong man who mastered four Dimensional Laws, was deceived in his perception and killed by a sneak attack. So, everyone, tell me your views.”

The elder sitting at the highest position spoke first. He wore a crown, inlaid with a huge crystal. This crystal was very special; it overflowed with an incomparably holy aura, and inside the crystal, a starry vortex slowly rotated.

This crown was called the Origin Law. It was the symbol of the Holy City, and only the highest Speaker was qualified to wear it on formal occasions.

“Mr. Speaker, from the information sent by Fario, the Demon itself is not terrible. It was just his sneak attack that worked. I think we only need to send a few High Priests who have mastered Curses to jointly encircle and suppress him, and he will surely be thoroughly purified!”

The speaker was Orihus, the most vigorous councilor on the Light Council. At least among the people present, only his hair had not turned completely white.

But someone immediately refuted. Councilor Boris said slowly, “Since this Demon could successfully sneak attack a Saint, this itself represents powerful strength. Every High Priest is precious wealth, and there cannot be the slightest loss. I think we should unite with the City of Saints and the people of Sky City to carry out the hunt together!”

For a time, the councilors discussed animatedly. This suddenly appearing powerful Demon itself did not make these people fear. These incomparably powerful councilors were more curious than anything.

“Alright, the Holy City will send three High Priests to Montokas, and we will also notify the City of Saints and Sky City. After all, in this incident, the City of Saints lost an Archmage. It is decided then. Meeting adjourned!”

Since the Speaker made the final decision, the councilors stood up one after another to salute and then left.

Lin Lei on Montokas Star did not know about these changes, but he was also clear that his actions had definitely attracted the attention of some powerful beings in Andromeda.

So Lin Lei wisely chose to retreat. Driving the Crystallized Mecha, he found a medium-sized city with a dense population called Lofite City, hundreds of kilometers away from the original Roland City.

Presumably in this city, even if strong people like Archmages came to trouble him again, they would have to consider whether it would cause huge casualties. This might not serve much purpose for hiding, but at least it gave Lin Lei some reaction time, instead of being blasted to death by a dimensional energy attack without knowing anything.

Lin Lei’s Mecha had been put away. He dressed up as an ordinary citizen, hiding in the bustling crowd in the city.

The sky of Lofite City also had a faint golden color that lingered for a long time. Ordinary people would not notice this tiny difference, but Lin Lei faced the embarrassment of being unable to contact the Sky Shuttle.

In Lin Lei’s heart, there was a faint pressure, and as time passed, it became more and more obvious. He, with incredibly rich experience, knew that he was being targeted.

And this person was not far from him, even hiding somewhere in the crowd behind him.

Lin Lei finally stopped in a secluded corner. He slowly turned his body, his eyes staring straight at the figure that stood still in the flowing crowd.

This was a woman with a hot figure but a very delicate face. She wore a dusty, unremarkable martial artist’s robe and carried a giant sword on her back. At this moment, she was also looking at the turning Lin Lei with an expressionless face.

An incredibly majestic pressure came out from this woman’s body, but only Lin Lei could feel it. In this bustling market with people coming and going, the two seemed to be isolated in a Subspace.

The woman walked forward slowly. The pedestrians around her naturally avoided her body. She just walked up to Lin Lei.

“You are that so-called Demon Lord Fretaza. You don’t look very powerful.” This woman’s voice was a bit low, but it didn’t seem harsh. It was just like a conversation between two ordinary friends.

“Perhaps. Aren’t you going to make a move now?” Lin Lei narrowed his eyes slightly and answered in a flat voice.

“No, fighting here would cause too much impact. If you know what’s good for you, how about following me outside the city to fight? Before that, I guarantee I won’t attack first.” This woman’s eyes were very special, as if covered with a layer of mist, but what came through was pure light. Listening to her words, she had no special hostility toward Lin Lei. Instead, she was more like a martial arts fanatic seeking a powerful opponent.

Lin Lei bowed slightly and said, “As you wish.” His purpose had been achieved. Since he wasn’t sneak-attacked, fighting anywhere was not a problem.
