Why must the devil be Defeated?

Chapter 404: 397 The legendary path to self-destruction?

“Gahhh…”

“Wahhh…”

In a series of low growls, led by Barry, all members of the Sterling Family had turned into red-eyed, ferocious-looking evil creatures consumed by madness.

However, these evil creatures didn’t start fighting on the spot, but instead, like ants before a deity, they lowered their heads toward Lilith.

But Lilith ignored these evil creatures and instead plunged into Shane’s arms, her amethyst eyes filled with concern.

Shane caught Lilith and chuckled.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

Shane then patted Lilith’s head, comforting her as if she’d been scared.

Though he felt Lilith’s reaction was a bit excessive, even if she hadn’t intervened, Shane could have handled the situation himself; her intervention and concern were somewhat superfluous, but it was a display of the little girl’s excessive care for him, and Shane wasn’t about to complain about that.

In contrast, Ai Yi had been standing there from the beginning to end, motionless, without even a change in expression.

“What are you playing at here?” Ai Yi accused Shane, saying, “You shouldn’t have been caught off guard by such a level of sneak attack, right?”

Clearly, Ai Yi also felt that, with Shane’s abilities, such a threat wasn’t worth mentioning.

“I just wanted to see what this guy would become when pushed to the edge,” Shane shrugged, adding, “Actually, you guys didn’t need to come out.”

Handling such minor nuisances by invoking Demons and an Evil God capable of matching them was indeed making a mountain out of a molehill.

Originally, Shane had wanted to handle it himself, but unexpectedly, after he was attacked, these two little girls immediately woke up and came out without hesitation, standing up for him.

It was understandable in Lilith’s case, as being a small Goddess bound by fate with him, holding his True Seal meant she would be affected by any harm that came to him. Plus, she was particularly clingy and would unhesitatingly stand up for him.

But it was quite surprising that Ai Yi also woke up without hesitation and appeared for him.
