A glimmer of light appeared in his dim eyes.
Perhaps it was that blond boy.
He thought so, but the next scene disappointed him.
Two fifth-tier demonic bats flew out from within at an extremely fast speed.
The glimmer of light in his eyes dimmed again.
In the final moments, he still didn't know whether Luo Xiu had left or not, which left him with some regret.

Chapter 206 The Final Battle 6
In mid-air, the surging thorns paused, maintaining their final upward growth posture.
The crimson magic circle and the reversed elemental torrent vanished together.
Only the high wall of thorns remained, and it seemed to age and decay in an instant, its bright red color gradually darkening, as if it had been through thousands of years.
The enormous roar dissipated into the sky, and the whole world seemed to fall silent in an instant.
Anyone can see what happened.
The fifth-tier demonic bat in mid-air stared at the figure with closed eyes on the thorn wall, its normally excited mood now replaced by a sense of unease.
The two kin who rushed out of the Illusionary Mushroom Forest chattered for a long time without explaining the situation clearly. Moreover, out of a total of six kin who left, only two returned, a result that made him vaguely uneasy.
"%#{]??! (What exactly happened?! Tell me one by one!! You idiot!)"
It grew impatient and slapped one of the bats, whose body was trembling like a leaf.
The clear sound of a slap echoed through the night sky, and the demon bat seemed stunned, shutting its mouth.
The other bat, which retained some semblance of reason, saw its companion's fate and its chaotic thoughts cleared somewhat. It spoke, trembling:
"?:/, ?:/, ?@ (That human, that human, was a demon. He killed the rest, all of them.)"
Upon hearing this, the lead demonic bat felt a surge of rage rush to its head, a wave of dizziness washing over it. It lunged forward and grabbed the fifth-tier demonic bat by the neck.
"(;:?!(You mean the remaining four are all dead?!!)"
"?! (Do you know what you're saying?!)"
It roared, the veins on the back of its claws bulging, and a terrifying pressure was released from its body, instantly destroying the mushroom forest within a radius of dozens of meters.
“!!!!?@?@ (It's true! It's true! Run! Run!)”
The demonic bat, its neck being gripped, writhed and uttered terrified shrieks.
Its pupils were filled with terror, but not because of the leader of the demon bats in front of it. It twisted its head as hard as it could, looking at the mushroom forest behind it, as if a demon was hiding inside, about to come out and devour them all.
This appalling performance enraged the leader of the demon bats, who released the other demon bat's neck and kicked it hard.
They are demon bats; how could they terrify a mere human?
But thinking of its kin who never returned, a sense of unease flashed through its heart. It called to the other two demon bats that had fought alongside Shek and flew towards the direction where Luo Xiu had fallen.
If four fifth-tier members of its kind have indeed died, then this loss is far too great, and it must find out their whereabouts.
Behind them, the demonic bat was still shouting, desperately trying to stop the other demonic bats from going to the place they had managed to escape from, not wanting its companions to go to their deaths:
"@#¥¥% (Come back!! I mean it!! Come back!! I'll die!)"
Its cries were mournful, but they had no real effect; the three companions still went far away.
With no other option, it finally gave up. It glanced at the long, narrow city in the distance, its flames blazing, and then at its brethren trembling beside it. It sighed, flapped its fleshy wings, and carried the last of its kind toward the direction of the Demon Bat Cave.
It knew in its heart that the battle was actually over, and the final outcome was that the lives of its seven kin were exchanged for the death of the Lord of Kanriel.
Those low-ranking demon bats that flew to Kanriel would eventually die in that city, and no one would go to support them anymore.
What it is doing now is stopping the losses.
It believed that the Queen would definitely understand it.
Perhaps these demonic bats should remain dormant for another thousand years, waiting for the next opportunity.
……
In the Forest of Illusions.
The lead bat, along with two other companions, followed the trail of blood low in the sky.
Gazing at the two crooked bloodstains that clearly exuded the aura of demonic bats, the leader of the demonic bats grew increasingly grim.
The bloodstains revealed that his two kin were in terrible condition, some even having lost half of their wings.
And before these two bloodstains, they had also witnessed a pool of flesh on the ground.
It also exudes a strong sense of kinship.
Recalling what his kinsman had said, the leader of the demon bats turned completely black, his scarlet eyes blazing with murderous intent, finding it hard to accept this outcome.
If their record of fighting two out of ten thousand and exchanging one for four were to become public knowledge, these demon bats would become a laughing stock in the demon world.
By then, let alone being promoted to a demon's servant, they might even be reduced to the lowest tier of demons, losing the nourishment of demonic nature and slowly degenerating.
“%#!”
It swore again with the dirtiest language.
Suddenly, its sharp, erect ears twitched, and a faint, pitiful scream came from somewhere ahead, which he keenly caught.
Without any hesitation, it immediately rushed over with the other two demon bats.
The enormous fleshy wings instantly destroyed the mushroom trees in the path. After losing Shek's control, the mushroom trees in the Illusionary Mushroom Forest became even more fragile, and their original hallucinatory effects no longer posed any threat to fifth-tier beings.
Almost instantly, the three demon bats arrived at the source of the sound.
However, by the time they arrived, the screams had completely disappeared.
Luo Xiu stood in the pool of blood, threw down the headless corpse of the last fifth-tier demonic bat in his hand, and looked up to see three demonic bats rushing towards him.
Luo Xiu's gaze darkened.
The presence of three demonic bats here gives us a clue as to what's going on with Shek.
He acted swiftly, dispatching the three demonic bats in a mere moment, but...
The fact that these three demonic bats were able to find this place means that Sheke had been walking for at least two or three minutes, roughly when Luo Xiu was chasing those demonic bats.
Luo Xiu and the leader of the demonic bats met eyes, both seeing the anger in each other's eyes.
"how dare you?!"
The lead demon bat roared angrily.
"How dare you?"
Luo Xiu withdrew his gaze, his eyelids drooping.
The two moved simultaneously in the next instant.
Like two gusts of wind of different colors moving towards each other, Luo Xiu and the leader of the demonic bats collided.
A massive surge of power erupted, spreading like a force field. Two demonic bats not far away trembled violently under the influence of this power, and blood even trickled from the corners of their mouths.
The leader of the demonic bats and Luo Xiu were far superior to them, even in their weakened state; they didn't even have the right to intervene in this battle.
After the first collision, without any pause, the two figures, as swift as the wind, collided dozens more times in an instant.
A series of enormous roars resounded, like a god wielding a world-destroying hammer, and the boundless night sky gradually brightened with each of these deafening sounds.
It was as if the night sky had been shattered, and a white light appeared on the horizon at dawn.
On the ground, a thick mist of blood spread from the center of the collision between the two, with dark red and bright red intermingling, making it difficult to distinguish whose blood it was for a moment.
The two demonic bats watching were preparing to sniff out the scent from the blood mist to discern the direction of the battle, but before they could even begin, the collision between the two had already ceased.
Everything ended as quickly as it had just begun.
The two demon bats looked at the two on the battlefield.
At this moment, neither Luo Xiu nor the lead demonic bat appeared to have any injuries. They stood facing each other, as if the collision had just occurred between someone else.
Just as the two demon bats were wondering, the next second, the leader demon bat's body trembled, and it could no longer hold on. Several wounds appeared on its body, and large amounts of blood flowed down, even its eyes were bleeding.
"Squeaky!!!"
It cried out in its mother tongue in pain, its scarlet eyes appearing to have been shattered in a high-speed collision, swollen and red.
"I'm going to kill you! You damned, vile creature!"
It had suffered a crushing defeat in the previous clash, yet it was still clamoring, because it still possessed the ultimate weapon that the Demon Lord had bestowed upon its Demon Bat clan for this battle, which it was about to unleash.
Luo Xiu's physique was also 3100 points at this time. After killing the three demon bats, he added 1100 points to his physique out of the 1500 points he got. Now he has 661 points left to use.
Seeing the scarlet mark erupting from the body of the leading demonic bat opposite him, and a terrifying aura spreading, Luo Xiu did not hesitate at all. He used all his remaining points on power and pounced towards the fifth-tier demonic bat.
"Bang!!!"
He closed in instantly and smashed a piece of the demonic bat's body with a single punch, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
But the terrifying aura did not stop; instead, it continued to increase.
In an instant, he unleashed dozens more punches, and the fifth-tier demon bat's body was instantly mangled beyond recognition, its limbs twisted and contorted.
The only thing that remained was the scarlet mark on its body, which seemed to persist no matter how Luo Xiu attacked. It lay twisted on the demon bat's chest, its bizarre power constantly growing.
"Click - click -"
The sound of bones returning to their original positions rang out, and the leader demon bat's distorted body corrected itself.
"Change to Plan 2".
Without hesitation, Luo Xiu sensed something was amiss and immediately changed his course, rushing towards the two fifth-tier demonic bats watching the battle from a distance.
These two fifth-tier demonic bats were already inferior to the leader demonic bat. Luo Xiu unleashed his full power of nearly 3800 points, punching open the head of one of the demonic bats. Before the other demonic bat could escape, he reached out and grabbed its fleshy wings, tearing them apart violently. The demonic bat quickly perished amidst a miserable cry.
At this moment, the lead demon bat had fully recovered under the effect of the crimson mark.
The fist marks Luo Xiu left on his body have now turned into faint marks, almost imperceptible.
He stood in mid-air, his body changing from dark gray to dark red, expanding to a full circle, radiating a terrifying aura, his scarlet eyes staring at Luo Xiu with chilling killing intent.
