However, just when everyone thought the Dreadlord had perished.

From the shattered body, a phantom figure suddenly emerged, fleeting like a ghost or a lingering shadow, flying towards the distance.

Ji Chen was startled. Even in such a broken state, Balzarna hadn’t died yet?

“Damn humans, I will definitely avenge today’s grudge! I will destroy everything you possess in the future!”

As the blurry figure swiftly flew away, it continued to curse in the most resentful tone.

But at this moment, a faint light suddenly appeared not far away, and a distorted figure blocked his escape route.

Upon seeing this figure clearly, Balzarna’s hatred intensified, and his resentment seemed to fill the entire ocean.

“Damn traitor!”

This was none other than Lainekel. Watching Balzarna flying towards him, Lainekel slowly raised the long sword in his hand, his eyes gradually filled with determination.

This generation’s Dreadlord had only been in power for a thousand years, but he was also the successor of dozens of previous Dreadlords, continuing the lineage of alchemically transformed individuals who were once elites of various races but had suffered torment and pain.

He was just someone who had luckily received help and escaped briefly from this suffering existence, but every time he slept, he dreamed of the painful wails of those who, like him, had been alchemically transformed and were pleading for help.

—For revenge, to save those who had fallen into the abyss like him.

Lainekel silently recited this in his heart.

With a determined tone, he slowly said, “Balzarna, let us end the pain of these tens of thousands of years here today.”

“You lowly bastard! Do you think you can fight me?”

Balzarna was furious. Ji Chen, after all, was at least above the Epic Tier, and it was only with the power of the ocean that he had forced Balzarna to this point. Yet this alchemically transformed person, whom he had manipulated in his hand, dared to speak to him like this, showing disdain towards him.

While cursing, he had no intention of staying for even a moment longer, continuing to flee towards the southern sea area. Though he hated Lainekel and wished to kill him on the spot, escaping was the priority now.

Seeing Lainekel raise his long sword, Balzarna sneered disdainfully.

He was in a special state now, where except for a small portion of special power, nothing else could harm him or even touch him.

However, Lainekel’s long sword suddenly shimmered with a golden light, causing him to feel aches throughout his body.

“This is…” Balzarna fixed his gaze, and the transparent face under his mask changed drastically. This was the power carried by those Light Sea Sovereigns!

Within a second, hundreds of Light Sea Sovereigns had already surrounded them, and this peculiar troop was one of the few that could harm him in this state.

He knew he was stuck in a bad situation.

However, these Light Sea Sovereigns did not launch an attack actively. Instead, they just surrounded Balzarna and Lainekel.

Soon, Balzarna realized what was happening.

This lowly alchemically transformed person actually wanted to personally kill him!?

Lainekel tightly gripped the long sword radiating with a golden glow, his figure flickering, and in an instant, he appeared in front of Balzarna. With a heavy strike, the sword aura was sharp, and Balzarna hurriedly dodged. At this moment, in his current state, he was extremely fragile, barely able to retaliate.

But faced with the sword shadows swinging densely, he was quickly hit and let out a painful howl.

At this moment, Balzarna’s phantom was already faintly visible, as if it was about to disappear at any moment. The illusory face was filled with horror, only able to watch helplessly as the sword light filled with golden radiance attacked again.

After a flash of golden light, the phantom figure completely dissipated into the air.

“Ding- Your ally, Lainekel, has slain the Dreadlord: Balzarna (Above-Epic Tier), and your level has increased (59~*63).

“Ding- You have reached level 60, and you have gained a new skill: Ocean Storm (Golden Skill).”

“Ding- Your ally, Lainekel, has slain the Dreadlord: Balzarna (Above-Epic Tier), and your hero, Alice, has leveled up…”

“Ding- One of the Five Demon Lords, the Dreadlord Balzarna, has been slain. This will cause a huge shock among the demon clan, and the other lords will be more vigilant towards you. Both dark gods and orderly gods will set their sights on you.”

When the system prompt sounded, Ji Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, confirming that Balzarna was truly dead.

After a brief relaxation, a huge sense of relief surged in his heart.

The enemy that had once made the entire Crown of the Ocean feel like it was facing a great enemy, making it hard to breathe, had finally fallen at their feet!

And it was done in a frontal attack, destroying the Dreadlord’s proud body and forcing him to flee in a wretched manner resembling a ghost.

He was extremely satisfied with this outcome.

Firstly, Balzarna was truly eliminated, successfully killing one of the Five Demon Lords. Secondly, it was Lainekel who personally delivered the final blow, not violating the agreement they had, which was to personally kill Balzarna himself.

This was the best outcome.

With Balzarna’s death, the remaining hundreds of thousands of demon army immediately fell into chaos, like a pack of stray dogs, completely losing the will to fight. Some collapsed for their faith, some panicked and fled without regard, and some stood dazed in place…

This was the best opportunity to annihilate this still formidable demon army!
