The sky was still somewhat dim at this moment.
The eerie crescent moon hanging on the curtain left faint shadows that hadn't fully receded.
But at this moment, the side door of the volcanic stronghold slowly opened a crack, and through the narrow gap, several figures on horseback charged out.
A cloud could still be seen drifting behind them.
This group was none other than Kane's party escorting the Saintess.
During this outing, the Saintess did not bring any Holy Knight guards; how she persuaded her subordinates was entirely unknown.
In fact, Finaris spoke to the Holy Knights eager to accompany her to the seal location.
"Can any of you even defeat a member from the Demon Slayer squad? At that time, rescuing you might even hold us back."
The Saintess, with a painful yet realistic blow, directly sunk these loyal and stubborn Holy Knights, conceding to the Saintess's decision to act alone with Kane's squad.
Now leading the team at the forefront was no longer Cotton Candy with its propeller.
But Saintess Finaris, who claimed to know this road so well she could walk it with her eyes closed.
As for Cotton Candy, it could only lie in Kreya's arms, silently protesting Finaris taking over its duties.
When the scorching sun hung high in the sky, Kane and his team finally reached the destination.
Finaris tugged on the reins, halting the horse at the side, her gaze fixed on the position below the hillside, frowning tightly.
Kane and his companions brought their horses to a stop beside her.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
In response to Kane's question, Finaris nodded, pointing ahead with her finger.
Kainder, Eagle Eye, looked in the direction she indicated, spotting a makeshift demon camp constructed there.
Many Skin-Stripping Monsters could be seen warily patrolling back and forth around it.
Visibly, nearly twenty demons were in the camp's center, carrying something.
A Winged Demon, larger than the others, was flying in the air, directing something to the demons below.
It seemed to be the leader of this camp, likely holding a significant position within the Demon Legion.
No wonder they hadn't seen any demons along the way, not even many Skin-Stripping Monsters.
"Could that be the seal opening you mentioned?"
Hearing Kane's words, Finaris turned to look at him, nodding with a hint of guilt.
?
"Didn't you confidently say that no demon would find this place before us?"
"Perhaps it's a chain reaction from your actions this time. Once time faces another interference, no one can be sure of the future."
Seeing the Saintess herself somewhat puzzled by this situation, Kane slightly lowered his guard.
He dismounts, directly escaping into the shadows.
His voice echoed in the air: "You hide here for a bit; I'll go and probe their reality."
In the earlier Eagle Eye reconnaissance, Kane carefully examined the camp and didn't find any signs of Night Demon.
Escaped into the shadows, Kane made a few jumps and appeared on a tree not far from the camp.
Then, ten meters away, he constructed a transparent sound receiver, and an earbud-like thing appeared by his ear.
Fixing Eagle Eye on the camp, he began eavesdropping on their conversations.
"Hurry up, you dawdling trash. If you delay Lord Bartos' important matters, you'll suffer!"
This was the Winged Demon in the sky shouting at the demons below.
"We discovered Skkatern Commander's seal opening. With the demon energy leaking from this opening, we can definitely rally a demon army. When Lord Bartos finds out, he'll definitely reward me heavily."
While muttering, it flew down and kicked a lazy Heavy Hammer Demon into the air.
Then it cursed in the air: "Don't slack off; you'll surely receive the same reward afterward, wahahaha..."
The piercing scream was clear even without a receiver.
After listening to this information, Kane understood part of the situation.
So this place wasn't occupied purposely by the Demon Commander but was discovered and occupied by the Winged Demon, intending to claim credit.
The demon energy that had been liberated by the Demon Commander couldn't have ignored this location, just as Finaris said.
Having lost interest in victory, let alone releasing the Commander.
He had an attitude of letting things unfold naturally, indifferent.
Having confirmed this intel, Kane dissipated his transparent creation and once again escaped into shadows, appearing at Kreya's side in a blink.
Facing the gazes of the group, Kane disclosed the intel he overheard.
Hearing the Winged Demon discovered this location, Finaris couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The previous situation truly left her uncertain about how to explain.
Since it was already occupied by demons, there was only one way forward: charge in and kill all the monsters.
Then naturally, no one would stop them from sealing the gap.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?" Finaris watched Kane and his team line up, beginning to apply enhancements to themselves.
Various illusions, light effects, potions.
They became colorful, with various illusions behind them.
Even Finaris received some of the area enhancements they used.
The exaggerated enhancement effects left Finaris stunned for a while.
Can it really be like this?
Looking at her hands, she couldn't help but clench her fists, feeling the inexplicable strength in her body.
Three differently colored Potion Bottles flew to her, the glowing particles within swirling and entering her body.
"Ah!"
The sudden surge of power and impact from her body made her exclaim involuntarily.
Seeing Kane's team glancing at her, Finaris covered her mouth, her expression slightly flushed.
At this moment, Finaris felt like a country bumpkin.
After the series of enhancements were fully applied.
Longbei directly lay on Cotton Candy, letting Cotton Candy carry him over the demon camp.
This aerial justice consistently brought him great satisfaction; he had fallen in love with this way of entering.
Due to the lack of cooperation with Kane's squad, Finaris could only raise her Magic Staff beside them, adding support according to the situation.
Meizike stood beside her, contemplating, and shook his equipment.
A tall figure appeared behind him, seemingly constructed from magma, emanating intense heat.
