Leyton, who was shuttling through the Spirit World in pursuit of Klein, suddenly had his inspiration triggered and, following his intuition, stepped out of the Spirit World.
Klein, who was still closing his eyes and divining the Door opened by the Master Key in front of him, opened his eyes and turned to look at the person who had appeared beside him.
Klein said with a surprised tone:
"How did you get here?"
Leyton, who had just emerged from the Spirit World, looked up at the "Door" in front of him, his Eyes of Mystery Prying constantly scanning the surroundings to find where the other side of the "Door" was.
"To kill that Devil," he responded softly, and Leyton stepped into the Spirit World again.
Inside a brightly decorated living room, an empty-bellied female corpse lay on the floor.
Beside her was a large black dog. Its action of swallowing internal organs paused as it felt a strong sense of crisis.
The Devil's malicious perception made it feel a fatal danger approaching. The Devil Dog unhesitatingly dropped the unfinished internal organs and ran out quickly.
It didn't even have time to carefully search for the source of the danger, only knowing that danger was approaching from the Spirit World.
One Star after another emerged, casting rays of starlight that miraculously formed a transparent and brilliant barrier.
The connection between this living room and the outside world was cut off, and even the Spirit World's influence on it was greatly reduced.
On the other side, he was still hesitating whether to pass through the "Door" he had opened in the wall. The next moment, he found that a layer of starlight was spreading on the other side of the "Door," blocking it.
"It seems there really is danger on the other side, but Arrodes came too timely, didn't he?"
"It feels like he's using me to fish!"
Klein clicked his tongue, feeling that his guess was most likely correct.
Putting away the Master Key, Klein was not going to use this Mystical Item anymore.
Klein walked to the window, flicked a match out, and then snapped his fingers.
With a "bang!" two flames ignited, one from Klein's pocket and the other from the match outside.
Klein's figure was quickly enveloped by flames and then disappeared. Immediately after, the flame on the match thrown outside flared up fiercely, and Klein leaped out of the flame.
Surveying the surrounding environment and confirming his current location, Klein quickly came up with a new plan to go home:
"Thankfully, I've already left the West Borough. It seems I'll have to take a detour to a more distant place and then find an opportunity to take a carriage back."
Inside the brightly lit living room, the surrounding walls, including the floor and ceiling, were enveloped by a transparent and brilliant barrier.
A giant Devil Dog, nearly 3 meters tall, with curved goat horns on its head covered in countless mysterious patterns, and a pair of huge bat-like wings spread out behind it, entwined with crimson and light blue flames, emitting a strong smell of sulfur, was frantically spraying light blue flames and combating the surrounding frost in the relatively small living room.
The already bright living room was filled with clear and sacred morning light.
The morning light was also mixed with clear, brilliant, and pure holy light. The light, reflected by the ice crystals filling the living room, appeared incredibly dazzling.
The tall Devil Dog, as if covered in a thick, hard armor, constantly exuded black smoke under the continuous Purification of the light.
The black smoke quickly dissipated after leaving the Devil Dog's body, and the dense Abyss aura on the Devil Dog was continuously weakened.
"Frost!" a Dragonese word was softly uttered.
Streams of crystal-clear light swarmed in, all targeting the giant Devil Dog, freezing it within.
Inside the living room, bright as the midday Sun, layers of frost hung, and the warmth brought by the holy light was completely dispelled.
Light blue fireballs, emitting a strong sulfur smell, ignited and extinguished in the Devil Dog's mouth.
To quickly break free from the frost's confinement, the Devil Dog used flames to burn itself and the surrounding ice crystals.
"Fallen!" The Devil Dog's mouth, confined by frost, finally made a sound, uttering a Devil Language word full of defilement and the meaning of Fallen, originating from the Abyss.
The living room showed a tendency to become Abyssal, with a slightly viscous black liquid beginning to cover everything.
However, these viscous black liquids appeared for only a short while before being purified by the bright light in the living room, leaving not a single trace.
Leyton quickly approached the Devil Dog, holding his hands as if grasping something, and the surrounding light condensed in his hands.
With a cleaving motion, a sharp, sturdy, heavy, and broad two-handed greatsword was pulled out from the light.
It heavily chopped down on the Devil Dog covered in frost, sending the frost flying.
The thick, hard armor covering the Devil Dog's body was easily penetrated like paper, and the two-handed greatsword, condensed from light mixed with holy light, embedded itself into the Devil Dog's body.
"Woof!" The Devil Dog let out a mournful howl, a burst of light blue flames erupted around its body, and the strong sulfur smell choked the nose and mouth.
"Frost!" Leyton stood still and softly chanted a Dragonese word, not moving his feet.
A stream of crystal-clear light covered the light blue flames, suppressing the Devil Dog's struggles.
Leyton released one hand from the two-handed greatsword and made a pulling motion in the air.
Silently, many chains formed from the light, piercing through the Devil Dog's flesh and blood, confining it.
Then, Leyton continued to hold the greatsword with both hands, lifting it up and bringing it down again. One of the Devil Dog's giant bat-like wings behind it was severed.
Lava-like blood splattered, dripping onto the surrounding ice crystals and emitting bursts of poisonous gas.
Without giving the Devil Dog a chance to struggle, Leyton continued to wield the two-handed greatsword, severing its other wing as well.
The Devil Dog's entire body ignited with light blue flames, constantly struggling, snapping the chains that had embedded themselves in its flesh and blood and confined it, one by one.
A strong, pungent sulfur smell, hot blood splashing everywhere, and charred, smoking bits of flesh.
Light blue flames continuously gushed out. Centered around the giant Devil Dog, crimson lava and light blue flames continuously gathered, gushing out like a volcanic eruption.
A pungent sulfur smell permeated the entire living room, accompanied by the spread of dark green poisonous gas.
Leyton quickly retreated, creating some distance from the Devil Dog. Starlight diffused around him, isolating the scorching heatwave and poisonous gas.
A faint golden hue dyed Leyton's light blue eyes, and the surrounding environment was simultaneously dyed golden, spreading out in layers.
The Devil Dog's expanding poisonous gas was continuously purified, and the crimson lava and light blue flames were also reduced under the layers of golden ripples.
The huge Devil Dog's figure emerged from the flames and poisonous gas, ferocious and terrifying, like a Devil crawling out of fire.
Leyton narrowed his eyes slightly. This dog couldn't control its desire for anger and killing intent and had directly lost control.
The Devil Dog, now out of control, began to grow abnormally in flesh and blood. The giant bat-like wings that Leyton had already cut off from the Devil Dog...
"Death..." The Devil Dog uttered a Devil Language word with difficulty.
Leyton's body, however, shattered in an instant, transforming into brilliant, shimmering starlight.
The defiling, Fallen power originating from the Abyss failed to affect Leyton, only causing the shimmering starlight to dim slightly.
Leyton's figure reassembled amidst the scattered starlight, his eyes a pale blue.
Immediately, several pure, blazing white rays of light, like sharp swords, pierced through the out-of-control Devil Dog's body. The light blue flames burning on it almost extinguished.
"The Devil's vitality is truly tenacious!"
Leyton exclaimed while spreading his arms, as if embracing the Sun.
A grand, pure, and blazing pillar of light filled the entire living room. The Devil Dog, lying on the ground, barely alive, trembled uncontrollably, as if undergoing extreme torture.
After about thirty seconds, the light gradually dissipated, and the living room became charred black, as if it had just experienced a severe fire.
A charred female corpse still lay on the ground; it was vaguely discernible that her abdomen had been emptied.
The Devil Dog's body lay on the ground, lifeless.
However, its huge body had not reverted to that of a normal canine but remained in its Devil form, with trickles of crimson, hot blood flowing from the charred wounds on the corpse.
The Devil's strong vitality kept the Devil Dog's corpse somewhat fresh.
Leyton paid no attention to the Devil Dog's corpse, walking directly to the charred victim's body, collecting it and performing a soul appeasement ritual.
After waiting for another ten minutes or so, the scattered light emanating from the Devil Dog's corpse gathered together, forming a characteristic that was a blend of fiery red and light blue, skull-shaped, and soft like jelly.
After collecting the Devil Dog's characteristic, Leyton performed some anti-divination treatment on the scene.
The starlight barrier that had previously covered the living room's surroundings had long since disappeared.
Leyton walked to the door, paused, and muttered to himself:
"Arrodes, do you want to meet your great master, the great ruler above the Spirit World, as soon as possible?"
"Bang!"
Leyton snapped his fingers, and a ball of fire erupted behind him, accompanied by a cracking sound.
The firelight once again illuminated the living room. Inside, apart from the two charred corpses, there was nothing else.
The firelight and explosive sound quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding people. The previously scattered, dim yellow lights quickly lit up a large area, making the street's upcoming night no longer peaceful!
