"If this Divine Golden Sunfla is powerful enough, I still have a Legendary Rank Skill Enhancent Stone and a Mythic Rank Skill Enhancent Stone. I could use them to jump its tier all the way from Epic Rank to Mythic Rank!" Aiden thought to himself.
The Abyss Fla Demon staff and the Blackfire Cloak both needed powerful fire skills to truly unlock his full potential.
But Blazing Tornado was too low-tier. Even though it was an area-of-effect skill, its utility was limited.
Plus, this Divine Golden Sunfla might prove very useful later on. Once he obtained a Second Class Scroll and passed through the Red Dwarves to beco a Forgemaster, it would definitely be a great asset.
After all, Aiden currently had plenty of Mythic Rank materials in his possession. Yet, the Great Shaw Empire’s greatest Forgemaster, Sean, could only craft Legendary Rank gear.
Aiden was facing a problem no one else could imagine: he was incredibly rich, but couldn’t turn that wealth into items that actually boosted his power.
Forget Mythic Rank materials. Even a slightly larger pile of Legendary Rank materials would cause an uproar and trigger a violent scramble back on Earth.
So, Aiden decided to find a few unlucky Demons first to test the power of Divine Golden Sunfla. Only then would he decide if it was worth using his only Mythic Rank Skill Enhancent Stone to upgrade it to Mythic Rank tier.
"By the way, those Demons under Rhodes’ command are still at that spot," Aiden suddenly rembered the Demon soldiers he had ordered to hold position earlier.
They were the perfect test subjects for Divine Golden Sunfla.
As for what Miles had whispered before dying, Aiden didn’t care much. He was too lazy to judge whether it was true or just lies.
Given his current strength, as long as nothing unexpected happened, every Mythic Rank Demon genius on the front lines would die here if they didn’t flee.
Ti was precious, so Aiden rushed quickly toward where the Demon soldiers were waiting.
But when he arrived, his pupils instantly shrank.
Those Demon soldiers were now dead corpses. Standing atop a pile of ruins was a Demon with a massive scorpion tail.
Beneath the Scorpion-Tailed Demon lay the bodies of three human talents.
"You pathetic trash, actually daring to kill soldiers of the Demon Clan? You’re just begging for death!" The Scorpion-Tailed Demon shook the blood off his tail, sneering in disdain.
The human genius nad Rowan was nowhere to be found; he must have hidden himself sowhere.
Raphael had already ordered them to use their final move: sealing off the entire area so no remaining human Reclassers could escape.
Of course, they waited until now to use such a thod because it ca with a heavy cost.
Fortunately, they had captured quite a few human talented Reclassers. They could sacrifice those who were useless to the Grand Duke and the Demon God Lord to pay that price.
Originally, the Scorpion-Tailed Demon had been flying toward the tallest building in the city. But he had spotted several damn human Reclassers killing his soldiers.
So, he wasted a little ti just killing those three human geniuses.
If those two cowardly human contestants hadn’t used Teleportation Scrolls the instant they saw him attack, there would be five corpses on the ground right now.
From a distance, Aiden carefully surveyed the scene and imdiately reached a conclusion in his mind.
It must have been those talented contestants who ambushed him earlier. After seeing Demon Rhodes and Aiden leave, they probably decided to kill these Demon soldiers.
Of course, that move also summoned the Scorpion-Tailed Demon.
Aiden took a deep breath and squinted his eyes.
He didn’t even need Aura reading to know that this Scorpion-Tailed Demon was definitely a Mythic Rank Demon genius.
"Rhodes just flew over here a mont ago," Aiden thought, his mind racing. "If I start a fight recklessly here, I might attract Rhodes and other Mythic Rank Demon geniuses."
"My strength has improved a lot, but I still need to avoid being surrounded at all costs."
He rembered seeing a video where even top predators like lions faced death when surrounded by hyenas.
So, Aiden spent a little ti making sure he was fully prepared.
Just as the Scorpion-Tailed Demon was about to leave for the tallest building in the city, Aiden suddenly appeared.
His face was pale, his body trembling, and he ran over in a panic.
The Scorpion-Tailed Demon, who was already heading out, froze in his tracks. He turned his sharp gaze to the suddenly appearing Legendary Rank Slaughter Demon.
"What is it?" The Scorpion-Tailed Demon narrowed his eyes and asked instinctively.
Aiden paused, feigning surprise, then his eyes lit up with "joy" as he shouted, "My Lord, it’s human Reclassers!"
"They gathered together and ambushed Lord Philip!"
"Lord Philip is in grave danger right now! He sent to find backup!"
"That’s wonderful! With you here, Lord Philip is saved!"
The Scorpion-Tailed Demon frowned and muttered, "Stupid Philip. Getting ambushed by humans? Is there nothing but black smoke in his brain?"
"Where is he? Take there."
Aiden imdiately pointed in a direction, naming a nearby landmark. He took a deep breath, pretending to lead the way. But then, his legs suddenly trembled, and he nearly fell over.
"You useless trash!" The Scorpion-Tailed Demon shouted at Aiden, angry at the delay.
Ti was tight; every second wasted ant more danger for Philip.
So, the Scorpion-Tailed Demon abandoned Aiden right there. He leaped high into the air and flew toward the direction Aiden had indicated at full speed.
A quiet smile slowly ford on Aiden’s lips.
His body instantly slipped into the shadows, transforming from Legendary Rank Slaughter Demon Aelris right into the human genius, Aiden!
Imdiately, the smoky black wings on his back flared wide open. The massive wingspan instantly covered a large area of the ruins.
The Legendary Rank Shadow Stealth skill boosted his movent speed to the limit. Add that to his smoky black wings and Blackfire Cloak, and his speed was now at its absolute peak.
But Aiden wasn’t done yet. He even activated the King of Flas effect of the Abyss Fla Demon staff.
Suddenly, black flas erupted violently from his Blackfire Cloak.
Aiden perfectly triggered the King of Flas buffs: 20% HP recovery, 20% Mana recovery, 100% movent speed, and 30% resistance to negative effects, all lasting for 20 minutes!
In less than ten seconds, Aiden had completely overtaken the Scorpion-Tailed Demon while moving through the shadows.
The Scorpion-Tailed Demon, rushing forward, suddenly paused. He looked around with a wary expression.
"Strange... was that just my imagination?"
He felt like sothing had zood past him, as fast as a sudden gust of wind.
By the ti Aiden reached the ambush location where Victor and the others were hiding, the Scorpion-Tailed Demon still hadn’t arrived.
Aiden’s speed was simply too fast; even a Mythic Rank Demon genius couldn’t match him.
anwhile, in the live stream of the front lines, countless viewers watched the unchanged footage, frantically typing comnts.
"Aiden still hasn’t shown up. Does that an he’s not going to ambush the enemy? Is he just planning to hide forever?"
"That’s nonsense! General Aiden has his reasons for doing this. You might not understand, but please don’t slander General Aiden!"
"I’m not slandering him. I’m just curious about what he’s doing. Shouldn’t the most important thing right now be hunting Demons?"
"Hunting Demons? Didn’t you see Rowan being chased around like a rat by the Demons? If he hadn’t been so lucky to shake off the Scorpion-Tailed Demon and Raphael, he’d be captured right now!"
"Sigh, you make a good point. I’m just too worried."
"The Abyss Demon’s geniuses have suffered few casualties,But my side has lost several of our finest fighters already. And many competitors have already activated their Teleportation Scrolls to flee the front lines. If this continues, there truly is no hope left."
"I’ve stopped expecting anything now. I just hope no more contestants die."
"That’s right. These Demon geniuses are too strong. Maybe we should just tell all the contestants to give up."
"Did you forget? Aiden and his team already used their Teleportation Scrolls to save those kids."
"This... sigh, it’s so hopeless."
More and more viewers couldn’t hold back their pessimistic words. Many had already lost hope; they just hoped for no more casualties, considering that the best possible outco.
Only the people of the Great Shaw Empire continued to cheer for Aiden and his team without stopping.
Especially the people from The White City. They firmly believed that Aiden’s current disappearance was a strategy to hunt down a Demon genius.
"I’ve fought against General Aiden. He isn’t the type to give up!"
"Just wait and see. General Aiden will surely pull off sothing earth-shattering in the end!"
"That’s right! Whenever everyone else loses faith and feels hopeless, General Aiden always creates a miracle only he can achieve!"
"We believe in General Aiden!"
The people of The White City kept flooding the chat with support. However, so netizens couldn’t help but comnt: "What a bunch of crazy people. Aiden is strong, but can he keep creating miracles one after another?"
"He already pulled off fifteen straight wins without a single scratch a few days ago. That’s already unbelievable."
"Does he really think he can lead other geniuses to completely reverse this impending defeat now?"
When the people of The White City saw such comnts, they didn’t argue or get angry. They simply stayed silent, waiting.
Waiting for the miracle that only Aiden could create!
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared on the live stream screen. It was the Scorpion-Tailed Demon!
"Shit, a Demon actually showed up?" Countless viewers instantly widened their eyes in shock.
