Volume 8, Chapter 16 – I’ll Scatter Even Your Ashes for You

With the experience from the first time, Tianyin was already quite familiar with this kind of repetitive work.

Although Demon Lords were all terrifying existences of Legendary-tier, to Tianyin, this kind of being could be dealt with easily using just one hand.

Of course, that was only on the frontal battlefield. If it came to carrying out an assassination without anyone noticing, Tianyin still found it somewhat difficult.

『Hmph… wasn’t it this guy who was jumping around the most just now?』

Very quickly, Tianyin found the Demon Lord who looked relatively closer to the human race and who had just proposed reporting the matter to the Abyssal Lord.

It had to be said that this Demon Lord did have some brains. After returning to his tent, he immediately began secretly preparing to report the death of a Demon Lord to the Abyssal Lord.

At the very least, when Tianyin sneaked into this Demon Lord’s tent, he was already preparing the “means” to communicate with the Abyssal Lord.

「Xiaoyin… hurry and stop this guy. He looks like he’s about to send the news here to the Abyssal Lord!」

Battle-hardened Samael noticed the Demon Lord’s intention at the first moment.

『Eh? What?』

Hearing Samael’s warning, Tianyin had no time to think and immediately made her move.

This time, Tianyin did not use Sword Draw Technique, that instant kill skill. Instead, she switched to another very direct method of attack.

“Skill, Death Finger.”

As one of the strongest skills among destruction mages, the power of Death Finger could be said to be the strongest skill among all professions. Without exception.

All destructive power was gathered at the fingertip, compressed into a single point. Then, this terrifying force of destruction was unleashed toward the target meant to be killed.

And Death Finger, as its name implied, meant that any enemy locked onto by this skill would die directly under that single finger.

With Tianyin being a powerful existence of Throne-tier, the might of Death Finger was even more extraordinary. At least when Tianyin activated this skill toward the Demon Lord before her, that dense aura of death instantly enveloped the entire tent.

“Who’s there!”

Even the aura concealment of stealth could not hide the overwhelming presence brought by Death Finger. At the moment Tianyin activated the skill, the Demon Lord inside the tent saw Tianyin who had suddenly appeared before him.

“You!”

The instant he saw Tianyin, countless fragments flashed through the Demon Lord’s mind. In the end, those fragments turned into an absurd truth.

“It was you who killed—”

However, he did not get to finish his words.

Because the moment he realized the truth, Tianyin’s Death Finger had already descended.

Death Finger was a skill reputed to instantly kill enemies of the same tier. And in Tianyin’s hands, the intensity of Death Finger reached a level that shocked the world.

At the very least, the instant the attack landed, as the target of the strike, that Legendary-tier demon began to “disintegrate” under that single finger.

Yes, disintegrate. Just like those players who turned into countless particles of light upon death, this Demon Lord, under Tianyin’s attack, began to continuously disintegrate like sand blown apart by the wind.

And in just a few seconds, this Legendary-tier Demon Lord completely vanished before Tianyin’s eyes, leaving not even a trace behind.

“T-This… this…”

For a moment, even Tianyin was stunned in shock.

She trusted the instant kill power of Death Finger, but to directly erase the body of a genuine Legendary-tier existence… that was something Tianyin had never expected.

And that was not all.

The deathly aura brought by Death Finger directly enveloped the entire tent. Not only that, after just a few seconds, the aura from Death Finger broke through to the outside, and then even affected the sky above the entire demon camp.

Destructive power spread through the sky over the camp, directly causing wondrous and bizarre colors and cloud formations to appear overhead.

It could be said that Tianyin’s Death Finger, activated while in stealth and under aura concealment, directly changed the celestial phenomenon above the demon camp.

「Xiaoyin… the power of this move is really too terrifying…」

Even Samael, who had seen countless battles and experiences, was shocked by Tianyin’s sudden display.

The might of Death Finger no longer needed much explanation. Faced with this terrifying skill, Samael could only sigh, having no words left to describe it.

「But speaking of which, Xiaoyin. Using Death Finger can expose our presence. Since no other Demon Lord has arrived at the scene yet, we should hurry and leave this place!」

『Oh… y-yeah, that’s right!』

Samael’s words served as a timely reminder to Tianyin. With that reminder, Tianyin immediately reentered stealth and then left the tent.

As Tianyin departed, several Demon Lords who had sensed the source of the aura gradually arrived at the tent. Unfortunately, aside from the decorations inside, there were no traces of any living being at the scene.

“What’s going on? What exactly happened?”

One Demon Lord looked completely confused, clearly unable to figure out what had happened.

“Wait… where’s Toledo? Didn’t Toledo live in this tent? Where did he go?”

Of course, there were also Demon Lords who immediately noticed something was wrong.

Judging from the current situation, even the cunning demons had not realized that Toledo had already been killed by Tianyin.

After all, even when a Legendary-tier existence died, its body would remain. If Toledo had died, his corpse should have been found.

But the problem was that Toledo had indeed been killed by Tianyin, and not only that, even his ashes had been scattered by her.

Naturally, none of the Demon Lords present could have imagined such a thing.

“No idea. That Toledo guy was always mysterious. He was just talking about reporting things here to the Abyssal Lord. Maybe that aura just now was the Lord’s aura when he was communicating with the Abyssal Lord?”

At this moment, a demon filled in the blanks of what had just happened and voiced his guess.

And that guess was fairly reasonable. After all, that kind of aura was something Legendary-tier demons could not possibly produce, and only an existence like the Abyssal Lord could directly affect celestial phenomena with its presence.

Recalling that Toledo had been the first Demon Lord to propose communicating with the Abyssal Lord, it was only natural that all the Demon Lords present accepted this speculation.

Thus, by sheer coincidence, the Demon Lords attributed Toledo’s disappearance to the Abyssal Lord taking action.

But in reality, Toledo himself had already been instantly killed by Tianyin.
