Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 552: The Huge Gap, Part 1 (Seeking Subscription)

"As expected of a family favored by the Demon God himself, to even be able to use such a heaven-defying Secret Technique!" Lelajin, floating in mid-air, continued to mock as he looked at Samikina, who appeared even younger after transformation: "But is burning your nearly exhausted life to engage in this meaningless battle really worth it?"

"Killing you makes it worth it!" Although Samikina's body became younger, his voice was still old as he squeezed these words through his teeth with hatred. His body's Demonic Qi surged again, instantly condensing into crystals, transforming into long spears with sharp spikes, which stabbed fiercely at Lelajin's vital points from various tricky angles.

Under the observation of the Mechanical Eye, Pei Yan watched Samikina manipulate hundreds of crystallized spears with precision, attacking at a supernatural speed that defied scientific explanation, forming a forest of spears relentlessly striking Lelajin's body.

The opponent, however, had no intention of evading, letting Samikina's attacks hit his body. Amid such overwhelming attacks, Lelajin moved casually, occasionally raising an arm as if swatting away annoying mosquitoes, swiping at the spikes aiming for his face. Each strike broke the seemingly unbreakable, steel-hard crystallized spears with a crisp crack, returning them to swirling Demonic Qi.

"How can the gap be this wide!" Seeing this scene, Pei Yan was astonished, glancing at Gu Shenghui and the others fighting other high-ranking members of the Disaster Legion at a distance. The power disparity wasn't this significant, was it?

Turning back to the battle with Samikina, watching the sweat continuously seeping from Samikina's forehead, Pei Yan realized the opponent was also engulfed in panic and shock.

He understood that this situation wasn't because Samikina was too weak, but because Lelajin was overwhelmingly strong!

From the moment Lelajin appeared, Pei Yan had already ordered his companions to cease attacks and withdraw from the battlefield. Now, he once again relayed an urgent situation report to Gu Shenghui and others, seeking opinions from the investigation bureau's higher-ups.

Gu Shenghui, entangled with the high-ranking members of the Disaster Legion, also noticed the change on the battlefield the moment Lelajin launched his first attack, sensing the terrifying power contained within the opponent.

Gu Shenghui immediately decided to have Ye Ruozai and company withdraw first, find a weak spot in the Plane Barrier, and prepare to evacuate. Meanwhile, they would continue fighting to end the siege quickly and assist Samikina's battle. If they succeeded in eliminating Lelajin, it would naturally be the best outcome; if not, they would swiftly retreat back to reality as planned.

Although this appeared to betray allies, as Pei Yan repeatedly instructed beforehand, the investigation bureau's interests and personal safety were paramount no matter what happened.

Seeing Gu Shenghui's group hastening their offensive, Wang Wenze also left the battlefield to prepare for evacuation. Pei Yan shifted his gaze back to Samikina.

In just a blink, the situation between the two combatants changed again. The exquisite yet mighty demon horns atop Samikina's head emitted a crimson glow. Through previous encounters with the Demon Race, Pei Yan knew this was a sign of the impending power surge from a Demon God Transformation.

As expected, Samikina's figure swayed the next moment, disappearing in a flash. A loud bang followed from behind Lelajin, along with a fierce gale blowing towards Pei Yan like a leaf in a hurricane, forcing him to adjust his stance repeatedly to maintain balance.

However, Pei Yan had no time for shock. He widened his eyes at the distant sight of Lelajin's shattered cloak on the right side and his broken right arm, exclaiming with delight, "It worked!"

However, this joy didn't last long before Lelajin's subsequent actions shattered it. In the span of a breath, countless blood vessels surged from his wound, and in an instant, a perfectly intact arm reappeared before Pei Yan.

Super-speed regeneration! Pei Yan couldn't help but grin wryly; indeed, a truly troublesome opponent!

"Ah, to actually break apart this current body of mine!" Despite the grim expressions on Pei Yan and Samikina's faces, Lelajin appeared calm, admiringly looking at his fully restored arm and praised, "I must say, you have improved since before!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Save the pretentious act! Our powers were just about equal before!" Samikina knew that today's battle would likely end poorly for him. Speaking, he took out a bottle of potion from his bosom, uncorked it, and poured it into his mouth. He tossed the empty bottle aside, drew a dagger, and gouged out the star disc from his palm, replacing it with two new ones.

Spreading his arms with the air of a triumphant figure, Lelajin arrogantly declared, "That's the power bestowed by that great lord! So, after truly experiencing my strength, do you still insist on your stance? Abandon that meaningless honor! Does it matter under whose rule you live? As long as you wish, you can still live your former life under the Blood Slaughter regime, if you wish, for your family to flourish again!"

"You really are putting in the effort to win me over!" Samikina mocked, adjusting the newly replaced star disc in his palm, wiping away the bloodstains.

"Samikina, you should understand the prospects of the Demon Race better than anyone. Why risk your life on this doomed ship? The commanders are eagerly seeking talent; if you join, you would surely be highly valued! That's what I hope for!"

Samikina looked up at Lelajin's sincere smile, curling his lips in ridicule: "Your hope? You just want me to make the same choice as you, so each time you see me similarly fallen, your guilt and shame will lessen a bit, allowing you to continually reassure yourself that you made the right choice!"

Seemingly hitting a nerve hidden deep within, Lelajin's previously genuine expression turned grim, anger flaring in his eyes as he sneered coldly, "An unappreciative frog at the bottom of a well! You have no idea how strong the hidden forces of the Blood Slaughter Legion are, nor how vast the world they aim for is. Here you are, still dreaming of stopping a chariot with your arms!"

As he spoke, two demon horns continuously protruded from Lelajin's head, looking like a normal human, breaking through the scalp as they grew. He reached up to feel the newly grown demon horns on his head, wearing a complicated expression as he growled lowly, "It's been so long since I've used this form; I've almost forgotten that I once belonged to the Demon Race. Samikina, use all your strength to attack me. With death so near, don't leave any regrets, or if this battle ends too quickly, it will simply bore me."
