The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

"Raymond Black!"

Edmund Celestio roared, his voice filled with boundless rage towards Ravend Black, the very man responsible for plunging the Kingdom of Westphalia into chaos.

Edmund Celestio held his scepter high, facing Ravend Black.

The enormous starlight sphere in the sky had already taken shape. Even without the support of the starlight energy from the magic array, this Starburst attack still possessed the level of a peak eighth-tier power.

If he were to take that blow head-on, even with his formidable defensive abilities, Ravend Black would not fare well.

Seeing Edmund Celestio's resolute determination to risk his life and perish here, Ravend Black was not alarmed but rather pleased.

"I never imagined His Majesty would risk his life like this?"

Ravend Black grinned broadly and said:

"Come! Let me witness the strongest attack of the world's top star mage!"

As he spoke, he gripped the blood sword tightly, looking eager to try.

Edmund Celestio remained silent, only slightly frowning as he waved his scepter, directing the massive star-shaped sphere in the air.

Ravend Black felt the immense magical power in the air, his face filled with excitement, and he assumed a defensive stance.

Finally, the starlight sphere moved!

Ravend Black laughed, bracing himself for the Starburst attack, but slowly noticed...

Why isn't this giant star-shaped sphere coming towards him? Instead, it's getting further and further away.

The moment Revend Black realized something was wrong, the enormous starlight sphere driven by Edmund Celestio suddenly contracted, carrying the power of a peak eighth-tier warrior as it hurtled towards the thinner of the two eighth-tier professionals who had arrived later.

No? They came for me?

The man was so shocked that he cursed loudly, "You old bastard, you have no sportsmanship!"

He quickly mobilized all his magical power to protect himself.

Unlike Archbishop Ravend Black, he wasn't so eager to test the power of this move.

Unlike Ravend Black, he wasn't enthusiastic about fighting, and he knew his own limitations, estimating that he couldn't defend against this attack.

It's a pity Delta wasn't there, otherwise he would definitely have recognized that this person was the chief of staff who suddenly disappeared!

"Lord Archbishop!"

The chief of staff shouted something before being swallowed by the starlight sphere.

The enormous starlight sphere suddenly exploded, emitting a dazzling light that was almost blinding. The chief of staff's figure vanished into the light...

Edmund Celestio was overjoyed at the sight and immediately fled in the direction he had blasted open with his attack.

As a peak-level eighth-tier magic, Starburst was even more precise under Edmund Celestio's control, with a rapid energy diffusion rate.

By the time Edmund Celestio reached a point not far from where the former chief of staff had been killed by the Starburst, the power of the Starburst had almost dissipated, and Edmund Celestio was no longer affected by its residual force.

Just as Edmund Celestio was about to break through the encirclement, a voice like a demon demanding his life rang out nearby.

"You old bastard, look what you've done!!!"

Edmund Celestio was horrified and retreated repeatedly.

Upon closer inspection, Edmund Celestio discovered that after the light dissipated, a figure covered in blood, with only a few tattered pieces of clothing remaining, stood there, battered and bruised, unmoving.

"Varied……"

Edmund Celestio never expected that his chosen weakest "breakthrough" would actually withstand the attack, which instantly disrupted his plans.

He had no time to ponder how the chief of staff had withstood the attack, nor did he notice that behind him, the blood-stained sword in Archbishop Ravend Black's hand had vanished without a trace.

Edmund Celestio sensed an astonishing aura and fighting spirit emanating from the blood-soaked figure blocking his path, both of which prevented him from taking even a single step forward.

The eighth-tier professional in front of him was already covered in blood, at his last gasp, and on the verge of collapse.

Edmund Celestio's sense of danger told him not to get close to the person in front of him, or he would be killed instantly.

Edmund Celestio had complete faith in his intuition, but unfortunately, he had no other choice at the moment.

He could only try to break through from the chief of staff's direction. The other three directions all involved unharmed eighth-tier professionals, and Edmund Celestio knew that it was even less likely that he could succeed in breaking through from the other three directions.

Therefore, Edmund Celestio waved his scepter, and several beams of light shot out from the crystal at the top of the scepter. At the same time, Edmund Celestio also cast a protective barrier on himself, which was made of strands of starlight.

Having made ample preparations, Edmund Celestio began his breakthrough.

The bloodied figure, who looked so fragile he seemed about to collapse at any moment, effortlessly withstood several beams of light from Edmund Celestio's interference attack, despite appearing so vulnerable that he would fall at the slightest breath.

Fortunately, Edmund Celestio had already reached the blood-soaked figure, and he was protected by a protective barrier.

Before Edmund Celestio breaks through the encirclement, the Chief of Staff will have at most one more strike.

If Edmund Celestio can withstand that blow with his protective barrier, he will be able to break through the encirclement, and he is confident that he can escape alive from the pursuit of four eighth-tier professionals.

Can……

Just as Edmund Celestio had predicted, there was only enough time for the bloodied man in front of him to throw a single punch.

Just as the force of that punch reached the protective barrier, a crisp sound, as if something were shattering, rang out.

Edmund Celestio quickly realized that the protective barrier he had created with magic to safeguard himself had shattered.

why?

As the question arose in his mind, the punch that broke through the barrier slammed into Edmund Celestio's face.

A terrifying impact, as if he had "eaten a steamroller," surged forth instantly. Edmund Celestio was sent flying backward by a punch, crashing to the ground, spitting blood, and barely able to feel the presence of his internal organs.

Only the heart was still beating violently, and its mournful sound could be heard.

That punch nearly killed Edmund Celestio; he used his scepter and all his magic to protect his wound as he struggled to his feet.

But the moment he stood up, Edmund Celestio felt even more desperate.

That punch sent him flying right in front of Archbishop Ravend Black!

At this moment, Ravend Black's face was so dark it seemed like it could drip water. This was because he had been fooled, and his anger at being betrayed after so eagerly anticipating witnessing the explosive power of the Starburst was palpable.

The chief of staff finally collapsed, muttering:

"They didn't kill me, but put me in a near-death state..."

Humph……

Serves you right…
