Chapter 902 - Terrified Demons

"H-Hey… T-That human… Doesn't he look a lot like…"

"Yes… He looks like the D—"

Before the two demons could even fully comprehend the situation, Yuan used his movement technique to instantly close their distance.

"Wha—?!"

"Too late."

The demons tried to distance themselves from Yuan, but it was too late, as he'd grabbed their demon crystals before they could even move.

"Wai—"

And before the demons could even utter a full word, Yuan crushed the crystals, instantly killing them. In fact, not even ten seconds have passed since the demons were released from their seals.

'Fear…? Impossible!' The Manager stared at Yuan with her eyes wide with shock and puzzlement.

'Why would they fear Yuan? No… Can demons even feel fear? It also seemed like the demons recognized him… No… Those demons have been sealed for countless years. There's no way that they could've recognized him. That wouldn't make any logical sense.' The Manager pondered a logical explanation to the phenomenon that had just happened.

"Liya!" Yuan suddenly called for her, bringing her back to reality.

"Can you bring in the next two demons?"

"Che…"

The Manager sucked her teeth before carrying two more demons into the Demon Sealing Zone.

'Why do I have to carry them, anyway?' She wondered inwardly as she placed the last demon into the zone.

"Thanks."

Yuan unsealed the demons shortly after.

The demons instantly noticed Yuan's presence this time around, and when they saw his face, just like the previous two demons, their eyes widened with shock and terror.

'This is definitely the scent of fear! They're fearing him! Why?! Demons have never feared humans before!' The Manager was feeling agitated at this point.

Then she recalled something the Lord had once told her.

'No… There was one entity that demons feared… The Bane of Demons, also known as the Divine Paragon, who freed the Nine Heavens from the Demon Clan's domination.'

However, she couldn't connect the dot between the Divine Paragon and Yuan. After all, these two individuals lived in two different worlds and eras. There was simply no connection between them.

Of course, since she has never seen the Divine Paragon's face before, there was no way that she would have realized the truth.

While the Manager was absorbed in her thoughts, Yuan killed the two demons.

In the blink of an eye, Yuan had killed half of the 8 demons.

"You called me inhuman, right? If I am inhuman, what do you call someone like him?" Li Jinxi asked Xi Murong, who was too shocked to even speak.

However, inside his mind, he could only think of a single word that could describe Yuan.

'God.'

Sometime later, the Manager carried two more demons into the Demon Sealing Zone.

"Y-You are—!"

"I-Impossible! You can't be—"

Once again, Yuan killed the demons before they could even finish a full sentence. Of course, it was made easier due to the demons' fear and confusion.

'He's definitely doing this on purpose! What is he trying to hide?!' The Manager could feel her entire body heating up from anger.

"Manager, the next one." Yuan waved at her with a smile on his face, which only further irritated her.

Sometime later, Yuan unsealed and killed the 7th demon, leaving only one demon— not including the demon that will become a practice tool.

After the Manager carried the final demon into the Demon Sealing Zone, Yuan said to her, "I told you it would be more convenient to just kill them all at once."

"What are you trying to hide from me, Yuan? Why are the demons fearful of you?" She asked him.

"Huh? I have no idea what you're talking about." Yuan shrugged.

'T-This bastard…' The Manager gritted her teeth in frustration, but there was nothing she could do about it, nor could she blame him for wanting to keep a secret.

After all, she has a secret or two herself.

Yuan unsealed the Spirit Lord demon a few moments later, and to everyone's surprise, he didn't immediately attack it.

The Spirit Lord demon stared at Yuan with wide eyes, but it didn't utter a single word. In fact, it refused to.

'The Divine Paragon?! Why the fuck is he here?!' The demon cried inwardly.

It was so spooked by Yuan's appearance that it didn't even notice his cultivation base.

'Why did he unseal me? Fuck… Is he going to torture me like the rumors?!' The demon trembled in fear when it recalled the countless horror stories about the Divine Paragon with torture being one of the most common story.

'Fuck this shit! I'd rather die than be tortured by the Divine Paragon!'

And without any hesitation, the demon destroyed its own crystal.

"What?! It's killing itself already?!" The others were shocked when the demon suddenly started glowing bright red, almost as though there was a powerful light source illuminating the demon from within.

"I don't think so."

Yuan suddenly summoned the Empyrean Overlord and tossed it at the demon, piercing it right in its chest.

"W-What?!"New chapters are published on N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net

The demon exclaimed in a shocked voice when its chaotic energy was sealed quicker than it could expand.

However, since the demon had already destroyed its crystal, it wouldn't be saved just because it was sealed before it could explode.

A few moments after the demon was completely sealed, its body began breaking down itself until it was nothing but a pile of dust.

The entire place was dead silent as everybody there stared at the pile of dust until the wind carried it away, leaving nothing but a demon core behind.

'The strongest demon killed itself…? Why? Because of Yuan's face?' The Manager nearly fell onto her buttocks after witnessing such a ridiculous outcome.

"There's only one demon left now. Make sure you all practice your demon sealing techniques before then." Yuan said to the others.

"O-Okay…" They all nodded in a dazed manner.

Once everyone returned to the household, the Manager approached Yuan and said to him, "Follow me."

"Where are we going?" He asked.

"To speak with the Lord."
