A shadow blade mercilessly pierced through Revis's shoulder.
This was not the end, following the second, third, and in the blink of an eye, eight shadow blades approached, dismembering Revis. Four shadow blades floated around, ready to strike.
"Who are you?"
The smell of death permeated her body. Before her death, she looked at August in disbelief.
Although she knew little about the information regarding Orario, she had never heard of such a powerful adventurer who left her helpless.
"I am a Demon. Your existence is a threat, so you must die."
"Heh~, I never expected to die in this place."
She was unwilling, she still had her own goals unfinished. However, circumstances did not favor her, and she no longer had a chance.
Swish~
The shadow blades descended, cleanly severing her head. August showed no mercy despite facing a woman.
Witnessing this scene from her hiding place, Lulune was instantly terrified. It was too brutal. A beautiful woman like Revis, and August decisively cut off her head without hesitation, it was inhuman.
Even Ais didn't expect August to kill the opponent so decisively and in such a manner.
Rumble~
At the same time Revis was killed by August, a terrifying flame erupted into the sky.
August subconsciously looked over and saw that within the entire eighteenth floor and the entire Rivira, all monsters and buildings were incinerated in a few breaths.
This was Orario's top-tier mage, The Nine Hell, Riveria Ljos Alf.
In the face of the raging flames, all monsters turned into ashes.
This was why mages held an unrivaled position in Orario. A powerful mage could overturn the battlefield in an instant.
Like Riveria, perhaps in one-on-one combat, she wasn't very strong because casting magic required time. However, during an expedition, especially when encountering large groups of monsters, she became a firepower turret, and one spell was enough to solve all problems.
Swish~
At this moment, Finn appeared.
Seeing August with twelve dark shadow blades floating around him, Finn was shocked.
Moreover, the pressure August gave him at this moment made him feel as if he was facing a powerful enemy rather than a newcomer who had recently joined the familia.
Finn's heart surged with tidal waves. He trusted his instincts very much after so many years of adventuring. This intuition had saved him countless times.
"August, youβ"
"It seems everything is settled."
"Well, what happened here?"
"A murderer appeared and was killed by me."
"Huh? Killed by you?"
Following August's gaze, Finn found a grayish-brown magic stone in the distance, completely different from the ordinary purple magic stones.
Just like monsters, when a monster person died, they would turn into ashes and completely disappear, leaving only the magic stone as a core.
"Is this a magic stone? A magic stone similar to the new monster species. Could it be that the murderer is a monster?"
"No, the murderer is a monster, a monster with a human form. It's no different from an ordinary person, possessing intelligence and strength comparable to level 5."
"Thisβ¦"
Once August said this, Finn didn't know what to say.
He could accept the previous information, even if he was surprised by the existence of monster like that.
But when August mentioned the strength comparable to level 5, Finn found it hard to believe.
After all, August was only level 3. If the opponent's strength was comparable to level 5, it meant that August's strength had reached or even surpassed level 5.
"August is very strong. Earlier, when Allen and Gulliver Brothers from Freya Familia wanted to ambush August, he defeated all of them alone."
Ah, Ais threw out another bombshell, leaving Finn dazed.
Allen, who was a veteran level 6 like himself, and the opponent's speed was extremely fast. Even he wouldn't dare to claim to defeat the opponent, let alone the Gulliver Brothers.
"You... I..."
"Alright, Finn, don't 'you' me. Today's matter is considered closed."
"Yeah~"
Finn heard the unspoken words in August's words, so he dispelled the idea of continuing to ask.
Meanwhile, a person in a black robe lurking in the shadows observed all this.
"Revis was actually killed. This is inconsistent with the plan. Also, this August, too terrifying. There is an even more terrifying power hidden within him."
Glancing deeply at August's back, the person in the black robe slowly left.
August also felt the gaze of someone spying on him. Subconsciously looking around, he activated the Observation Haki with full force, but there was no harvest.
And so, August, Ais, and Finn returned to the Rivira.
"Ah! My town, destroyed again."
Upon returning, they saw Bors looking at the once-again ruined town with a heartache on his face.
After all, the town had just been rebuilt not long ago, and now it was ruined again due to this attack.
"Alright, Bors, this is not the first time. Get up."
"Don't talk without experience. Every time I encounter people from your Loki Familia, there is no good thing."
"Don't say that. We are friends."
"What friend? Your mage could have killed monsters with a fire, why did she burn the town too? Do you know how much I've lost?"
Bors was heartbroken, the entire town was constructed from wood. This time, everything was burned to the ground, and the losses inside were countless.
"Alright, Bors, let me tell you some good news. The murderer has been killed."
"Hmm? The murderer is dead? Who did it?"
"Uh, it was resolved by someone from our familia during the attack just now."
"This is considered the only good news."
Finn didn't say that it was August who defeated the murderer, and Bors didn't think much about it. This matter passed like this.
At the same time, August and Ais returned here. In the inquiry, Lefiya learned about the terrifying August's strength from Ais.
This made Lefiya feel extremely exhausted, her revenge seemed hopeless.
Tiona and Tione were also helpless, they were already considered geniuses, but August was a monster, not a human.
