Chapter 609: Killing The Sunshadow City Lord (Part 2)

Kenny Lin said, "The fact remains, I’m standing here just fine."

Amalia glared at him, "Say one more word, and see what happens."

Kenny Lin pouted, then decided to change the subject, "It seems there are still quite a few ordinary devils in Sunshadow City."

"Kill them all," Amalia said expressionlessly.

Kenny Lin laughed, "Are you sure?"

Amalia remained expressionless, "If we don’t kill them, are we supposed to give them the chance to become stronger and seek revenge for their family and friends later? Haven’t devils killed many humans too? It’s survival of the fittest. They should have expected this day to come eventually, just like we did."

"Comrade Amalia, your level of awareness is impressive," Kenny Lin remarked, then added seriously, "But we’re different."

Amalia responded indifferently.

The population of Sunshadow City was not as large as they had anticipated, only numbering in the tens of thousands.

Most of the devils had already perished under Kenny Lin’s oppressive aura.

After swiftly dealing with the remaining devils, the two began to divide tasks.

One collected all usable resources in the city, while the other harvested the devils’ heads.

Most devils had been killed in the chaos and their heads were incomplete.

Amalia simply gathered their bodies, including those of the two leader-level devils.

Once this was done, Kenny Lin had also collected almost everything that was valuable.

Before leaving, Amalia set the city ablaze with a special spiritual fire that she used for refining artifacts, one that even heavy rain couldn’t extinguish it.

The fire quickly spread and engulfed everything that was flammable in the city.

The massive blaze attracted the devils nearby.

When they saw the once-thriving Sunshadow City consumed by fire, with no sounds emanating from within, only a deathly silence, the weaker devils were so terrified they fell to the ground.

Sunshadow City was gone.

There is no more Sunshadow City.

Amalia and Kenny Lin whose spiritual energy is nearly exhausted, choose to hide away after the bloody massacre of a Level Nine Devil city and begin to count their spoils.

The first thing they checked was Amalia’s mission targets.

"This time, we killed over seven hundred warrior-level Devils. Adding to what we already had, we have nearly eight hundred. We’re still short by two hundred. As for leader-level Devils, we only have two; we still need eight more."

As Amalia counted, her brow furrowed deeply.

"Warrior-level Devils are easy to handle. We can find two hundred in the wild after a few days. But leader-level Devils are harder to find unless we go deeper."

"That’s true," Kenny Lin said while rubbing his chin, "Most leader-level Devils have subordinates and don’t travel alone. But it’s not impossible. This time, we don’t need to siege another city; we can lure the leader-level Devils out from other Level Nine Devil cities."

"That’s what I was thinking," Amalia replied, unwilling to take more risks, "We’ll discuss this on the road. What resources did we find in Sunshadow City?"

"Hardly anything. The city lord had just a few spirit stones," Kenny Lin said, tossing the Sunshadow City lord’s storage bag to her.

Amalia opened it and counted.

There were forty high-grade spirit stones, which was more than Kenny Lin had claimed.

He always tended to exaggerate.

Adding the mid-grade and low-grade spirit stones, there were over a thousand in total.

For a city lord, this was indeed not much.

After gathering the spirit stones from the other Devils, they had a total of over sixteen hundred mid-grade spirit stones and more than thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones.

None of the other Devils had high-grade spirit stones.

"Although it’s a little bit less than expected, it’s still a considerable haul," Amalia said, feeling satisfied.

She had a good idea why the city lord and his subordinates had so few spirit stones.

The devils came to the Devil Battlefield to seek resources, and most of the resources they found were used immediately.

To have saved this many spirit stones was already an achievement.

Leaving behind some of the spirit stones, Amalia gave the rest to Kenny Lin to absorb and repair the Yin-Yang Pearl.

"We should also feed the devils’ weapons to the Yin-Yang Pearl," Amalia said, uninterested in keeping the devils’ weapons.

"This blade belongs to the Sunshadow City lord. Keep it as a spare in case your current one breaks," Kenny Lin suggested while handing her the weapon.

"Alright," Amalia agreed, putting the blade away.

Kenny Lin continued discarding the weapons he had handled and piling them up.

These weapons shared a common trait: their previously smooth surfaces were now rusting, like dull blades incapable of killing enemies.

Feeding the Yin-Yang Pearl wasn’t literal; it absorbed the spiritual light within the weapons.

Once their spiritual brilliance was gone, the weapons reverted to ordinary scrap, discarded and unwanted.

Amalia buried the weapons whose spiritual brilliance had been absorbed and took out the other resources gathered from the city.

They fed the Yin-Yang Pearl with unwanted pills, as well as some spiritual herbs and grasses.

It seemed the Sunshadow City lord had previously discovered a treasure trove filled with spiritual herbs and grasses, far more than the pills he carried.

Kenny Lin had found and emptied this storehouse.

After more than half an hour.

"How is it?" Amalia asked, noticing Kenny Lin’s complexion looking rosier.

He performed an internal inspection, "Even with all these resources, it’s still not fully satisfied. But it’s slightly repaired."

Amalia felt a little bit relieved, "A slight repair is still good. It’s a slow process. Such an extraordinary treasure can’t be restored overnight."

"Let’s move," Kenny Lin said while standing up, "We still have nearly an hour before the Concealment Pills lose their effect. Let’s launch another surprise attack."

Their target this time was the team Kenny Lin had tracked earlier.

According to the information he gathered, this team included two leader-level Devils and nearly two hundred warrior-level Devils.

This force was no match for Sunshadow City.

However, Amalia was not arrogant enough to believe that she could easily handle two leader-level Devils.

She was only at the mid Foundation Building stage and was well aware of her limits.
