Chapter 709: The Death of Ellen

Although he was somewhat worried about the current situation at the shop, given Lingyun's current strength, he could not rush to the shop immediately.

After all, he was currently about 36,000 kilometers away from the surface of Earth; even if he exhausted all his strength, there were still distance limitations to inscribing a Space Array. Moreover, Liuli was currently holding down the fort at the shop, so even if Westcott had some conspiracy, in the face of absolute strength, it would only be thoroughly crushed into fragments.

"The matter is resolved, we can return now." Lingyun's figure suddenly appeared in front of Itsuka Kotori.

"Mr. Lingyun?" Seeing Lingyun appear, Itsuka Kotori was first startled, then let out a sigh of relief.

"You are wondering why, even though the Fraxinus EX has a Realizer that blocks Spirit power, I was still able to enter directly, right?" Lingyun asked with a light chuckle.

Hearing Lingyun's words, Itsuka Kotori's smile stalled, and she finally nodded slightly.

"I have to say, you all at Fraxinus have done quite well in this regard. If it were any other Spirit, they might not have been able to get in." Lingyun explained. "I am different from ordinary Spirits, do you understand?"

"I understand." Itsuka Kotori nodded, but in her heart, she was muttering whether this was because he was a male Spirit.

"By the way, Mr. Lingyun, I have some not-so-good news to tell you here." Itsuka Kotori coughed lightly, then said to Lingyun with a serious face.

"What not-so-good news?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow.

"Well, our Ratatoskr personnel stationed in Tengu City just sent information over; the people from DEM have seemingly found a way to crack the barrier around the Mysterious Shop. Just now, they dispatched many people and headed in the direction of the shop. Although our people set up quite a few obstacles for them, this won't be able to stop them for too long." Itsuka Kotori's expression was somewhat grave.

"I see." Lingyun nodded indifferently.

"Eh, Mr. Lingyun, are you not worried at all?" Itsuka Kotori was somewhat dumbfounded.

"The relationship between me and DEM has long been incompatible like fire and water; how could I not be on guard against them playing dirty in the shadows? Now that I dare to follow you all into space, I naturally had sufficient backup plans prepared long ago. Westcott thought he could successfully direct a 'luring the tiger away from the mountain' scheme, but he still underestimated my strength." Lingyun said with a cold sneer.

Just as the Fraxinus EX completed its mission of destroying the satellite and began its return journey to Earth, a battle of extreme tragedy also unfolded around Lingyun's shop.

"Damn it, this woman, what is her background? Could she also be an unknown Spirit? How can she be so terrifying?"

Above the Mysterious Shop, Ellen, holding a Light Sword, gritted her teeth as she stared at Liuli, who was hovering in front of her. Behind her, dozens of DEM wizards were looking at Liuli with expressions of fear.

"So these are the wizards DEM is so proud of? Truly a bunch of counterfeit goods; they really are vulnerable." Liuli said with a bored expression, holding the Destruction Scythe in her hand.

Under Westcott's guidance, DEM's research capabilities were fully unleashed, and a machine capable of mimicking Spirit power fluctuations was developed. With the assistance of this machine, the people from DEM finally cracked the Array around the Mysterious Shop and found its location.

Ellen had thought that as long as Lingyun was not here, capturing the Spirit inside the shop would be a piece of cake with their current strength. But reality dealt her a ruthless blow; Liuli's appearance shattered her entire plan, and the price paid by the DEM personnel was the dozen or so corpses now lying in front of the shop. This mysteriously appearing woman had forced Ellen back with just one move, while simultaneously turning over a dozen DEM wizards into cold corpses.

"Heh, you thought that by luring Lingyun away, you could deal with us? You are truly too naive." Liuli said indifferently.

"Damn it, attack!"

Ellen instantly raised her Territory to the limit and charged toward Liuli. She had underestimated the enemy before, but this time, she would bring out twelve percent of her strength to deal with the enemy before her, letting her witness what the strength of the world's number one wizard was.

"Clang—"

The Light Sword and the Destruction Scythe collided, emitting a violent boom. The powerful force transmitted from the Destruction Scythe instantly struck Ellen. Ellen's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but let out a muffled groan; the Territory around her body emitted a buzzing sound, clearly being eroded by some invisible force.

"This, what is this power? It feels completely different from a Spirit's power." Ellen felt a trace of shock in her heart.

The Light Sword let out a mournful cry; it was unable to withstand the Destruction Power on the Destruction Scythe and began to show signs of shattering.

While Liuli and Ellen were engaged in battle, the other DEM wizards moved simultaneously, charging toward the shop.

"Seeking your own deaths!" Liuli shook off the opponent in front of her with one move, and the Destruction Power on the Destruction Scythe surged violently, transforming into countless black shadows that rushed out. "Shadow of Destruction!"

The Shadow of Destruction whistled out, pouncing directly toward the DEM wizards in the sky. Facing these shadows, the DEM wizards naturally dared not underestimate them; after all, many of their companions had died under these black shadows before.

But when they engaged these shadows, they realized what despair was. The Territory released by the Realizers they were so proud of was actually so fragile, directly pierced through by the shadows. The shadows that pierced the Territory revealed terrifying fangs, instantly tearing the wizards wrapped in Realizers to shreds.

"Damn it!" Ellen let out a roar. The gauntlet on her left hand rapidly deformed, turning into a ferocious cannon muzzle, firing continuously at the black shadows in the sky, thoroughly shattering one shadow after another.

"At a time like this, you still have the leisure to worry about others!" Liuli's figure flashed and appeared in front of Ellen. On the Destruction Scythe in her hand, terrifying Destruction Power, almost condensed into substance, swiped toward Ellen's waist and abdomen. "Destruction Scythe!"

"Oh no!" Ellen's pupils shrank to the size of needle points in an instant. As the crisis of death descended, the Territory on her body instantly condensed to the limit of what she could achieve, blocking the path of the Destruction Scythe.

"Crack, crack—"

Although the Territory Ellen condensed was powerful, in front of Liuli's Destruction Power, it still appeared so fragile. Liuli's Destruction Power traced a fatal trajectory, easily slicing Ellen's body in two.

"So, all this time, we have been enemies with such a monster?" At the moment death descended, a trace of unwillingness flashed in Ellen's eyes. "Sorry, Isaac, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you anymore!"

Having killed Ellen in one move, Liuli's expression did not change. Although Ellen's Territory was very powerful, the Destruction Power Liuli mastered could easily destroy a Territory. Having lost the protection of her Territory, Ellen was not much stronger than an ordinary person in front of Liuli.

"The Executive Director is..." Watching Ellen fall from the sky, the DEM wizards present all changed color.

"Sorry everyone, please, all of you stay behind!" Looking at the DEM wizards in the sky, Liuli revealed a bloodthirsty smile.
