The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated

Razhaad family. I fixed it in the previous chapters already using Lazareth, previous TL used Latrard(chapter 49)

Chapter 801: “Now, Get Lost.”

“W-What are you doing…!?”

A sudden cry of surprise startled everyone present.

They instinctively looked over and saw a beautiful girl standing before the person who had just cried out.

“Wow…” Many gasped upon seeing her. It was natural to be stunned by such a beautiful girl, especially the high-ranking men, their eyes filled with a mix of admiration and desire.

“Who is she…?” Even Riley, Vivian, and the others were surprised, not knowing why such a beautiful girl suddenly appeared. She was even more beautiful than them, which surprised them. But the girl ignored everyone, her gaze fixed on the person before her, the one who had sarcastically slandered Shien, saying he was dismissing them because he thought they were too low-class.

“What did you just say?” the beautiful girl asked in a sweet, childish voice that made hearts flutter.

“W-What?” The man, still captivated by her beauty, was startled by her question and didn’t react.

The girl, however, wasn’t so patient.

“You were the one slandering my master just now, weren’t you?” she asked frankly, “Who do you think you are? How dare you slander my master!?”

Saying this, she slapped the man’s chest.

“Bang!” With a loud thud that made hearts pound, the man, without even a scream, was sent flying like a ball by the girl’s seemingly playful slap, disappearing into the night sky.

This scene shocked most of those who had been looking at her with desire.

“So strong…!” Riley and Vivian’s expressions changed.

“So amazing…” Lumia exclaimed.

“…” Even Diere, who had been standing to the side with an indifferent expression, looked up and stared at the beautiful girl with a serious look.

The others were also shocked by the girl’s display of power.

“Who is she?”

“When did such a powerful, young expert appear?”

“That power, at least Legendary Level.”

“And who is her ‘master’?”

Those with keen minds began to speculate, and many who had been looking at her with greedy eyes quickly suppressed their desires, no longer daring to have any ideas about her. Of course, some, instead of retreating, their greed intensified. “Such a strong and beautiful woman, if I could recruit her…” Their desire only grew.

But what happened next quickly extinguished their hopes.

“You also said my master was arrogant, right?” The girl walked up to another person and asked.

“I… I didn’t…” The man’s heart pounded, sensing danger, and he hurriedly tried to deny it.

Unfortunately…

“Bang!” With a heavy thud, he was sent flying by the girl’s delicate palm, turning into a star in the sky and disappearing. The girl clearly wasn’t here to listen to his excuses, but simply to teach him a lesson. She then walked up to a third person without looking back.

“You also said my master was acting high and mighty, right?” she asked, her deathly stare and her cute yet beautiful expression making the man tremble.

“I… I was wr-…” Before he could even finish apologizing, he was struck by the girl’s powerful slap.

“Bang!” The thud echoed in everyone’s hearts, making them pale with fear. Naturally, he also became a star in the sky.

The girl’s violent and unreasonable actions were deeply etched in everyone’s minds, and those who had been eyeing her looked on in terror.

By now, who didn’t know who this girl’s “master” was?

“Are you…?” Vivian asked, her heart pounding.

Under such circumstances, the girl finally stopped. “I am Yulin. That’s the name Master gave me,” she said, introducing herself with a proud, childish voice, before everyone present.

“Yulin!?” Vivian and the others were stunned. They naturally knew who Yulin was.

Yulin glanced around and said casually,

“Many also call me the ‘Black Dragon of Atlus Gorge,’ although I don’t like that name.”

Saying this, she spread her dragon wings and slowly rose into the air, a terrifying dragon’s might, like a physical force, instantly enveloping the area. That pressure, that aura, terrified everyone present.

Yulin looked down at them from above.

“Now, get lost,” she shouted coldly, her voice like a dragon’s roar, making their minds go blank.

This was undoubtedly offensive. Those present were all high-ranking dignitaries, leaders of various factions from around the world, some even famous figures whose names were recorded in history.

Even the Mitra Kingdom wouldn’t dare to offend them so easily. And yet, today, they were all being insulted by a seemingly young girl. Normally, they would retaliate, even if it was just for the sake of face. But now, feeling the terrifying aura and seeing the massive dragon wings, no one dared to resist.

They knew she was a transformed dragon, a very powerful one. This meant not only did she possess overwhelming power, but she was also backed by the entire Dragon Race, even the entire Demon Race.

Coupled with her self-introduction and her constant mention of her “master,” how could these perceptive individuals not realize that she was the terrifying Black Dragon that had returned today?

The Black Dragon of Atlus Gorge!

The Demon King of monsters who occupied Atlus Gorge for hundreds of years, having reached Legendary Level!

Now, having transformed into a human, her strength could easily crush ordinary Legendary experts!

They couldn’t afford to offend such a being!

“…Let’s go.”

“It seems that with our level, it’s difficult to meet the Hero himself.”

“After all, he’s the Dragon Demon’s fiancé.”

“Even if he hasn’t fully matured yet, the power behind him isn’t something we can easily contend with.”

“Let’s leave quickly.”

“Indeed, an enraged Dragon Race is terrifying.”

Those who knew better couldn’t withstand the pressure and retreated one after another.

With someone taking the lead, the others no longer hesitated, exchanging glances, then reluctantly leaving. The carriages departed, and the crowded plaza gradually became spacious again. Soon, all the carriages were gone, and all the visitors had left, not a single one remaining.

That being said, these dignitaries wouldn’t just leave without doing anything. Some left letters for Riley and the others, some left spies behind, not wanting to have come here in vain.

“Should we eliminate them?” Diere asked casually, seeming to have noticed something.

“Let it be,” Vivian said after a moment of thought, shaking her head.

“Just pretend we didn’t see them,” Riley also said.

They were, after all, guests, and although some lacked self-awareness, they couldn’t just eliminate them all. Turning a blind eye to a certain extent was the best way to handle them.

Moreover, they didn’t have the energy to deal with these people. They were more concerned about the figure descending from the sky, having retracted its dragon wings.

There, on the ground, stood a young man, holding a little girl’s hand.

“You’re too violent,” the young man said, rolling his eyes at the dragon girl.

“Who told those guys to be so disrespectful?” Yulin asked, her face filled with displeasure, “They came here to visit, to build a good relationship with Master, but they acted so arrogantly, as if they were the ones doing us a favor.”

After all, they were the ones seeking to curry favor with Shien, wanting to use his connections for political and personal gain, not the other way around. Therefore, not knowing their place and not showing proper respect was simply asking for trouble. If Shien let them in and met with them, that was giving them face. And if he didn’t, that was also his right. It wasn’t his obligation. Therefore, it was natural for Yulin to be displeased.

“Fine, consider it a lesson for them,” Shien said, no longer dwelling on the matter. Although these people held high positions in the Human Realm, with his current status and strength, he didn’t need to care about them, and they wouldn’t dare to offend him either. So, he quickly dismissed the matter and looked at the excited girls.

“I’m back!” he said with a smile.

The girls also smiled.

Chapter 802: The Buztout Household’s Current State

Shien’s return was undoubtedly a major event for the Buztout family. He was the head of the family, a genuine Earl of the Kingdom.

The return of the master was a significant event for any noble family. And if this person was also the fiancé of the Kingdom’s princess, engaged to one of the six Demon Lords, and even the Hero who reappeared after a thousand years, backed by both the God Race and the Demon Race, it would cause an even greater sensation.

Even though Shien’s high-profile return during the day had already caused excitement among the Buztout household, when he actually returned home, the residence was still bustling like a marketplace.

Countless maids, servants, and even knights gathered at the gate, welcoming Shien with enthusiastic cheers.

Shien, still holding Lilith’s hand, with Yulin by his side, followed by Vivian, Riley, Diere, and Lumia, walked down the path towards the main mansion. Along the way, maids, servants, and knights looked at him with excitement, admiration, and reverence, making him touch his nose.

“I didn’t realize they liked me this much,” he muttered unintentionally.

The girls around him exchanged glances and chuckled.

“It’s not that they didn’t like you, you just didn’t notice,” Vivian said softly, her voice as gentle as ever, “You were already the Kingdom’s rising star, admired by many young people. It’s just that those who initially joined the Buztout household didn’t have such thoughts.”

After all, at first, the Buztout household only consisted of Shien, Vivian’s team, Airi, and no one else. The initial batch of maids and servants were all recruited by Lasha. They were all high-quality individuals, even quite beautiful, and Shien didn’t know how she managed to find them and make them willingly work for the Buztout family. The only certainty was that those maids and servants admired Lasha more than him. Lasha’s charisma was undeniable, and at that time, she was the most popular person in the Buztout household. The maids and servants only had eyes for her, not for him.

But things were different now.

Now, the Buztout household wasn’t just the initial group of maids and servants, and Shien’s status was also different.

Having held back for a long time, Shien finally asked,

“Why are there so many people in the house now? And there’s even a knight order. I didn’t establish a private knight order.”

As a noble of the Kingdom, whether a Duke or a Baron, he had the right to establish a private knight order, even a private army. Shien, as an Earl, naturally had this right, but he didn’t think he needed one, so he didn’t create one.

But looking at the current Buztout household, not only were there more maids and servants, but also fully armed knights standing in formation, seemingly ready to obey his every command.

This puzzled him.

Riley rolled her eyes.

“You have the nerve to ask?” she said, annoyed, “Because of your laziness and lack of preparation, we’ve been running around dealing with these matters.”

Shien blinked. How was this his fault?

Seemingly sensing his confusion, Vivian explained,

“After your identity as the Hero was exposed, the Buztout family became the target of attention for all factions in the Human Realm, attracting much unwanted scrutiny.”

The Hero’s reappearance was a major event in Omnipotence, especially in the Human Realm. And with the world learning that the current Hero was Earl Buztout of the Kingdom, how could the Buztout family not become a target?

Therefore, during the period after Shien’s identity was exposed, the Buztout family was indeed targeted by many.

“Some wanted to meet with you, and unable to find you, they turned their attention here.”

“Some wanted to confirm whether the news was true, causing the Buztout family some trouble.”

“And some with ulterior motives wanted to find something valuable in the Hero’s home, or to control this place and use it to threaten or manipulate you.”

“Even members of the Old Demon Faction have been secretly watching, intending to infiltrate the Buztout residence.”

Vivian’s words made Shien’s expression change slightly.

“The Old Demon Faction actually tried to infiltrate here?” He frowned, his face turning cold, a faint fluctuation of magic power lowering the surrounding temperature.

Those damned scumbags… Shien felt a surge of anger.

Not just him, but even Yulin was furious. “If I were here, those bastards wouldn’t dare to be so brazen!” she said angrily.

“Indeed, a bunch of trash,” Shien’s face darkened.

Seeing him like this, Vivian and the others felt a chill, instinctively shuddering.

“Master Shien…?” Lumia asked timidly.

“Don’t worry,” Diere, no longer silent, reached out and took Shien’s hand, “I’ve already taken care of them.”

These words calmed Shien down.

He tightened his grip on Diere’s hand, took a deep breath, and suppressed his emotions, his magic power calming down, the coldness on his face disappearing, and he smiled wryly at the girls.

“It’s fine, I understand,” Vivian said softly, but she felt a sense of wonder. After two months, this man seemed to have become even stronger.

Lumia also seemed to think so, looking at Shien with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

As for Riley, she was even more amazed. To her, Shien was still the newcomer adventurer who left Larmigion for the Royal Capital just half a year ago. Although she had somewhat guessed his identity back then and, along with Vivian, provided him with cover and assistance, and had learned about his deeds and achievements through various channels, already prepared for his transformation, she was still shocked when she truly sensed his extraordinary nature.

(He’s truly no longer that clueless newcomer adventurer.) Riley felt a mix of emotions.

Shien, unaware of her thoughts, returned to his usual self and asked,

“So, because the Buztout family faced some security issues, you helped establish a guard unit and a knight order?” He seemed to understand.

“That’s right,” Riley, snapping out of her daze, nodded, “Normally, without your permission as the head of the family, no one has the right to establish a knight order in your name, but after we reported this matter to Princess Lucy, she, as your fiancée, requested special permission from the Kingdom.”

Therefore, Vivian and the others were able to recruit knights and guards in Shien’s name, establishing the Buztout family’s private knight order.

“Are they trustworthy?” Shien asked, worried.

He didn’t want to establish a knight order, partly because he didn’t think it was necessary, and partly because he didn’t want any shady characters in his household. Since becoming famous, whether before or after his identity as the Hero was exposed, he had been in the spotlight. Coupled with his powerful backing, those with ulterior motives were numerous. If he recruited carelessly, some might infiltrate his household, planting spies or even assassins. This was something he absolutely wanted to avoid.

Vivian and the others naturally understood this.

“Don’t worry,” Vivian smiled sweetly, “Those knights were brought here by Riley. They’re absolutely trustworthy.”

“Really?” Shien was slightly startled and looked at Riley.

“Why do you think I’m here, acting as your representative?” Riley shrugged, “First, because of Princess Lucy’s request, and second, because my father also wanted to help you.”

Riley was referring to her father, the head of the Lazareth family. He was very friendly towards Shien and his companions, having shown them much care since Shien first arrived in the Royal Capital, a kind and trustworthy person. He had also helped Shien many times. For example, when Shien first entered the Royal Palace for an audience, the Duke of the Strimm family tried to make things difficult for him, but Riley’s father supported him, preventing him from being isolated.

Therefore, Shien had a good impression of him.

As a result, Riley, who had just returned to the Royal Capital, was entrusted with this important task, not only becoming the acting Guild Master of the Adventurer’s Guild headquarters, but also the representative of the Buztout family.

“Vivian and the others lack the experience and knowledge to handle these matters of nobility. They’re also living here as your friends, not your subordinates. Establishing a security system and a knight order is beyond their capabilities,” Riley explained.

“Therefore, I was appointed by the princess and invited by Vivian, becoming your errand girl.”

Her tone carried a hint of complaint, making Shien feel awkward. After all, he wasn’t a very responsible head of the family, so it was natural for her to complain.
