Chapter 876 - Red Ghoul Clan

The fleshly abomination tried to lure Duna into the black pyramid, but she wasn"t one to fall for such an obvious trap.

However, it didn"t matter even if she did.

"Hmph, a trifling Half-step Demon Lord thinks it can stand a chance against me? You don"t know who you"re dealing with!" Duna snorted coldly.

She immediately raised her hand and blasted the black pyramid with the full force of her Destruction Law.

In that instance, the st.u.r.dy black pyramid, which even the Half-step Demon Lord couldn"t free itself from with its oversized body, was easily torn asunder.

The black pyramid didn"t stand a single chance against Duna"s Destruction Law.

Nevertheless, it was st.u.r.dy enough to shatter into large pieces, albeit only briefly before they further disintegrated into tiny pieces of ashes.

The destruction of the black pyramid freed the fleshly abomination from its captivity. But before it could rejoice, it was shortly struck by Duna"s Destruction Law.

"Arghhh!"

The fleshly abomination screeching and grating cries resounded from the depths of the black pyramid as it felt its existence fading away.

In the face of absolute power, the fleshly abomination was horrified at its inability to resist.

"This power… This pressure… You"re a Great Demon Lord!" the fleshly abomination gaze finally fell on Duna"s figure with abject terror.

"It"s too late to beg for mercy even if you know," Duna said coolly.

With a snap of her finger, the wave of destruction swept past the fleshly abomination"s grotesque body like a gust of wind and scattered its ashes.

"N…"

The wave of destruction destroyed the fleshly abomination"s existence disappeared, both in body and soul.

Whatever ashes remained of its existence was blended into the black soil.

Nyfarella and the other dark faes widened their eyes in shock before they glanced at Duna in the distance with a renewed impression of fear.

They didn"t expect an existence like the Lord, who terrorized and ruled the entire Starfall Dominion from the abyss, could be destroyed so easily.

Duna was far, far more powerful than they could imagine.

While Shadowtail and the rest of the Black Dragon Clan were awed by Duna"s display of dominance, Leon smiled wryly at the destruction of the black pyramid.

That was a historical ruin with a lot of research value!

"Alas, what has been done cannot be undone. I will have to take a look at the other ruins in the Starfall Dominion," Leon thought.

There weren"t many regions with ruins lying in the open like the Starfall Dominion, which the Starfall event had unearthed.

Nevertheless, Leon quickly pushed aside the matter and approached Duna.

Others would think twice about getting anywhere near Duna after the terrifying destructivity she had shown, but not him.

He was not afraid.

"Are you alright after drawing so much power from the Destruction Law?" Leon asked while studying her body"s condition out of concern.

However, it didn"t seem like she suffered any backlash from the Destruction Law.

"I"m fine," Duna replied coolly.

"I see…" Leon didn"t mind the indifferent response and nodded with relief, "That"s good to hear. If you"re hurt, don"t hesitate to ask me for help."

It appeared that Duna had overcome the Destruction Law"s backlash after she raised her soul cultivation to the Great Demon Lord level.

He had not quite adapted to that reality.

Nevertheless, Duna glanced at Leon briefly before she eventually nodded, keeping note of his offer should the time ever come.

Shortly after, Leon s.h.i.+fted his gaze to the remains of the black pyramid, which wasn"t worth mentioning. There was hardly anything left of it.

"Seems like there"s nothing left of value here. Shall we move on with our journey?" Leon suggested.

Duna nodded again.

Shortly after, she silently followed several steps behind Leon as they made their way back to the rest of the group.

"We are done here. Let us move on from this area," Leon informed the group.

"Yes, my Lord!" Shadowtail and the others answered, loud and clear.

Shortly after getting the group"s affirmation, Leon turned his head to face the Dark Fae Clan"s leader.

"Nyfarella, your clan is most familiar with the Starfall Dominion out of everyone here. Where is your clan located? Also, where is the nearest ruin?" Leon inquired.

"The nearest ruin…" Nyfarella gathered her thoughts before replying, "The nearest ruin lies on the other side of a rocky plateau roughly twenty-five miles south from here."

"My Lord should be able to see the rocky plateau from here…." Nyfarella pointed, but then she realized it was not that visible without good vision due to the lack of light in the dark land.

"Well, sort of," she added with a wry smile.

Leon glanced towards the south with Spirit Eyes. When he spotted the looming shadows of the rocky plateau mentioned, he nodded with acknowledgment.

However, he had no interest in venturing deeper into the demon"s territory for the time being.

He still needed to get back to the Infertile Plains and check on the situation of the Seven Tribes Alliance.

"What about the Dark Fae Clan?" Leon asked.

"Our clan is located roughly sixty-five miles northwest, my Lord," Nyfarella replied.

However, she shortly hesitated before adding, "Five miles further west from our clan is a rocky region, where another ruin is located. The Red Ghoul Clan sends the men in our clan there to excavate it all year round—We basically never see them."

"So the Red Ghoul Clan has been suppressing your clan by making the men work around the clock, huh? Is this the reason for the Dark Fae Clan"s consistent decline, both in population and strength?" Leon wondered.

"Yes, my Lord," Nyfarella admitted with a nod.

"Nyfarella used to have a lover, but we"ve grown distant due to the long years of separation... He might not even be alive anymore…" Nyfarella recalled with a distant look.

However, she quickly added, "Ah, but my Lord does not have to worry. Our relations.h.i.+p did not progress beyond holding hands, and I don"t hold any more feelings for that person."

Nyfarella snuck a few meaningful glances at Leon.

Thud.

Aria suddenly kicked Leon"s s.h.i.+n.

Although it didn"t hurt, Leon still turned to face her with a confused look and asked, "What was that for?"

"Hmph!" Aria turned away with a pout.

Leon"s lips twitched.

He could not help but feel wronged.
