Everyone turned toward the source of the voice.

There, right in the middle of the human and demon Grandmasters, stood a man wearing a white coat with a playful expression on his face. He casually looked at the four Grandmasters and then at the two demons, as if he had simply walked into the middle of their battle.

Not a single person had noticed how the man approached them. None of them had even sensed his presence until he spoke.

Ravena looked at the man with a wary expression. However, after looking at him for a few moments, her expression slowly became more solemn.

Ravena then reached out and grabbed Dominique’s hand, stopping her from doing anything reckless.

Dominique didn’t understand why Ravena suddenly stopped her, but she didn’t question it. She simply looked at the man, who was casually looking around the destroyed section as if he were taking a peaceful walk through a park.

Klein and Steve also looked at the man with confusion.

Klein was the first to speak.

"What are you doing here, Lucifer? Didn’t I tell you to stay hidden with the other healers and try to survive together if even a single demon escaped from there?"

The man who had just entered the battlefield was Lucifer, one of Asher’s vessels.

Asher simply looked at Steve and then replied in a playful tone,

"Well, there is no need for that now. All of the healers are already dead, so you can fight with your whole heart. There isn’t a single living being left alive in this facility aside from you six."

He paused for a moment before casually adding,

"Well, I’m practically half dead myself, so I didn’t count myself. That means there are only six of you."

Steve stared at Asher for a moment.

His expression was filled with confusion.

He couldn’t understand what Asher was talking about or what had happened to the rest of the facility.

Finally, he asked,

"Everyone else is dead?"

Asher nodded casually.

"Yeah. I killed them. They were all weak, so it didn’t take much time."

Steve’s expression became even more serious.

The fact that Asher had apparently eliminated everyone else in the facility while they were fighting was something none of them had expected.

Asher then turned his attention toward Ravena.

The moment his gaze landed on her, Ravena’s body shuddered slightly.

There was something unsettling about the way he looked at her.

His expression wasn’t angry.

It was almost one of disappointment.

Asher then said calmly,

"You’re far weaker than I thought you would be."

Ravena’s expression became more solemn.

Asher continued,"I gave you freedom, and you couldn’t even kill a single one of them in all this time."

As soon as Asher said this, Ravena’s doubt about the man identity vanished . It was actually that being who had undone her restraints and then vanished as she expected when his body was also acting like that demon.

While Steve, Alan, and Alex didn’t understand what he was talking about, wasn’t it a group of demons who set demons free? Only Klein’s expression changed to serious, as if he understood something.

He paused briefly before continuing in the same casual tone.

"I’m already very late. Those demons’ bodies were too unstable, so it took much longer than I expected for them to break through. Some of the vessels even failed completely, and the others probably won’t survive for much longer."

Before Asher could say anything further, Klein suddenly appeared in front of him, his hand moving directly toward Asher’s throat. Asher calmly looked at the approaching hand without showing any fear. Then, without warning, his body simply vanished from his position, causing Klein’s hand to pass through empty air.

Klein’s expression showed a brief moment of confusion, but he quickly returned to his calm state. He turned around and looked behind himself. Asher was already standing several meters away, his expression completely relaxed, as if nothing had happened.

Klein stared at him for a moment before asking, "So, it was you who set these demons free?"

Asher casually replied, "Yeah, I did."

Klein then glanced toward Steve, Alan, and Alex before looking back at Asher. "This guy is probably a thrall of some demon sent here to free them, or perhaps some kind of shapeshifter."

He raised his sword and pointed it toward Asher.

"I don’t know how you were able to stay hidden for this long, or how you even found out about this facility. But if you answer some of my questions..."

Klein’s expression became colder as he continued, "I’ll give you a painless death. Otherwise—"

Asher interrupted him before he could finish.

"Stop your bullshit. I already got the time I needed, so now let’s fight. I don’t like wasting more time than necessary."

As soon as he finished speaking, the space around Asher suddenly distorted.

In the next moment, hundreds of corpses appeared throughout the area. Most of them were Master-rank or lower-rank cultivators. These were the healers and other personnel from the facility whom Asher had killed while everyone else was occupied with the battle.

Asher casually looked toward Ravena and said, "I hope these are enough for you to regain your strength."

Ravena looked at the corpses for a moment before simply nodding. The next instant, the blood inside the corpses began moving, slowly rising from their bodies.

Streams of blood flew through the air and gathered around Ravena before being absorbed directly into her body. Her pale skin gradually regained some of its color as her weakened aura began recovering.

Klein, Steve, Alan, and Alex all frowned after seeing this.

Klein immediately moved.

In an instant, he appeared directly beside Asher and swung his sword toward him. However, Asher teleported away again before the sword could reach him.

Klein wasn’t surprised this time.

He had already realized that Asher could use spatial movement. The moment he sensed the change in the surrounding space, he immediately followed towards where space rippled.
