The demons had already stormed inside the fortress, rampaging around looking for any possible living creatures.

On the black floating platform, a Winged Demon kneeled beside the Demon Commander.

This Demon Commander resembled a human, with the only difference being the pair of backward-bending demon horns on his head.

"Lord Bartos, those humans have fled, but they aren't too far away and haven't escaped much distance."

Bartos extended his arm, revealing another demonic trait of his.

This arm was pitch-black and hard, covered with black armor-like scales, with five sharp and elongated fingers.

He patted the side of his throne, where a three-headed hound was drooling lava from its mouth.

Gazing at the Winged Demon kneeling beside him, he said indifferently, "Then go after them!"

"Yes."

The Winged Demon's voice trembled slightly; after speaking, it quickly departed from the floating platform.

In the dark night, Kane, cloaked, stepped into the shadows, hiding not far from the fortress.

He silently watched as the fortress was filled with Skin-Stripping Monsters, quickly passing through the fortress, chasing the retreating troops ahead.

Finally, Kane waited for his target.

Nearly a hundred demons were stepping into the fortress, hurrying to the rear.

The platform carrying the Demon Commander also quietly floated overhead of the fortress.

Watching all these demons enter the fortress, Kane couldn't help but smile.

With a flash, Kane disappeared from his spot, and when he reappeared, he was above the fortress.

At this moment, he had turned into a luminous being, entering a Demigod state.

His entire body was transformed into an energy group radiating soft golden light, with a large Light Wheel levitating behind him.

The kind of rocket he had previously constructed was once again created by him.

It was infused entirely with the energy modified by his demigod transformation.

The effect of Death Gaze was also applied to it.

Under Kane's control, the rocket began to plummet rapidly downward, with its blue tail flame carving a sharp sound through the air.

"Have a nice life!"

As the rocket fell, Kane had already vanished from his spot.

By then, he had returned to normal, appearing in the distance, constructing a motorcycle-like transport beneath him.

He sped quickly towards the retreating troops.

Inside the fortress, as the rocket fell.

A blinding white light enveloped the entire fortress, and the entire sky was lit like daylight.

The explosion resounded throughout the entire area.

The tremor it brought could be clearly felt even by Sakrem and the others who were retreating in the distance.

As they were withdrawing, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look in the direction of the fortress.

Seeing the enormous commotion in the distance, they involuntarily slowed their steps.

Thinking about the scene Kane had left behind, Sakrem couldn't help but suspect that such a commotion was caused by Kane.

Due to being relatively far away, he couldn't feel how intense the explosion there was, but he could clearly sense the magical fluctuations transmitted.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Kane's figure in the distance, riding on a strange object, approaching rapidly.

With the commotion disappearing, the fortress had already been completely destroyed.

The entire fortress, except for the outermost walls, showed no intact buildings.

All the sturdy stone houses inside turned into a pile of rubble.

All the Skin-Stripping Monsters filling the fortress had vanished, reduced to a pile of ashes.

Only some demons with strong constitutions lay on the ground, groaning in pain.

The floating platform above the fortress was protected by a black shield.

Inside the shield, the Demon Commander was no longer in human form but a demon towering over 4 meters.

His entire body was covered in black armor, with broad bat wings on his back, his skin exposed outside the armor like lava.

This Demon Commander's true form was that of a high demon from hell.

High demons no longer have racial distinctions; each possesses unique characteristics and peculiar skills and organs.

He was currently roaring in anger.

The death of the Skin-Stripping Monsters below didn't cause him much distress, but the demise of those demons was what enraged him.

This sudden explosion had directly wiped out nearly half of the demons he commanded.

At this moment, a Winged Demon flew in from outside, kneeling beside his feet.

The furious Demon Commander grabbed it by the neck and lifted it up.

"Tell me where those retreating worms are. Chase them down quickly, I want to tear them to pieces myself."

The Winged Demon, struggling frantically, nodded repeatedly.

Then the Demon Commander tossed it aside.

All the demons and the remaining Skin-Stripping Monsters quickly accelerated, chasing after the traces left by Kane and his retreating group.

By this time, Kane was among the retreating team, communicating with his teammates.

"We've completely withdrawn and are heading to the rendezvous point. The demons are 2 kilometers behind us, pursuing relentlessly."

"We've been caught up by some demons, but don't worry, I'll deal with them soon."

"Lelulu here is also ready, fleeing."

"Retreat."

"Oh, right! Lelulu is retreating."

Hearing that his teammates were safe and their actions within the planned range without any incidents, Kane felt relieved.

However, they hadn't run far when they saw the Skin-Stripping Monsters that had already caught up from behind.

The archers at the back of the team stood steady, firing a rain of arrows towards them before continuing their retreat.

Meanwhile, Kane constructed a Magic Power Vehicle for transport, with two rows of 8 launch ports on the rear frame.

Under Kainder's control, the shells were hurled one after another toward the Skin-Stripping Monsters.

Explosions continuously sounded from behind, hindering the monsters' attempts to catch up.

In the sky, the Winged Demons responsible for reconnaissance flew in, continuously launching fireballs onto the team.

Suddenly, the heads of two of them exploded and plummeted downward.

This kind of attack startled their companions.

They flapped their bat wings rapidly, retreating backward.

It seems these demons know when it's time to run, their self-control is quite impressive.

Some extremely fast demons and Skin-Stripping Monsters charged through the cannon fire.

But they were quickly repelled by the Holy Knights at the back of the team and Kane's joint attacks.

If they weren't in a retreating state now, none of those charging demons would escape, they would all be left behind.

So the team continued with a pursuit-and-escape rhythm towards the previously planned rendezvous point.

Fearing they may outrun these demons too far, Kane and his team would occasionally pause to wait for these demons to catch up.

To prevent them from scattering around in futility and possibly finding the evacuating civilian team, which would be disastrous.
