My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

Chapter 328 Successful Sealing

"Damn it! These monsters just keep coming!" one of humanity's soldiers shouted in frustration.

He raised his sword high and brought it down on the monster poised to pounce on him.

*Slash!*

The monster fell, split in half, but the soldier staggered, panting heavily as if most of his strength had already been drained.

"Arghh!"

A sudden roar erupted behind him, sending a jolt of panic through his body.

Before he could react, a monster lunged at his back, slamming him onto the sand.

"Shit! Damn it!" He cursed hoarsely, gritting his teeth against the searing pain.

The attack had shattered the armor on his back, leaving deep, jagged wounds exposed.

But there was no time to think—the monster was already preparing to strike again.

"Damn it... is this how it ends?"

The soldier muttered miserably, his grip tightening around his sword's hilt.

He wanted to fight back, but his arms felt limp and powerless.

Just as the monster's claws were about to strike, a figure clad in black armor shot forward, slashing its head with lightning speed.

*Slash!*

The monster's head tumbled to the ground, and thick, foul black blood gushed from its severed neck.

The soldier froze in place, stunned by what had just happened.

"You... why did you save me?" He inquired, his voice filled with confusion.

To his shock, the one who had saved him was a demon.

At the question, the man—none other than Kaelen—shot him a cold, indifferent glance.

"Don't overthink it. I didn't save you. My only goal is to kill these damn monsters," Kaelen said in a flat, detached tone.

Without another word, Kaelen turned and sprinted toward the rest of the monster horde, leaving the soldier behind.

Watching him leave, the soldier lowered his head, unable to conceal the complicated emotions swirling within him.

Meanwhile, Kaelen continued to cut down the monsters before him, his sword ensuring none escaped his sight.

Though the monsters were tall and menacing, they were, in reality, slow and weak—easy prey for Kaelen and the other soldiers.

However, their sheer, seemingly endless numbers instilled a profound sense of dread in everyone.

"If this keeps up, we'll exhaust our stamina, and in the end, we'll all be devoured by them,"

Kaelen muttered grimly.

After slaying the last monster in his path, he paused to survey the chaotic battlefield. Monster corpses littered the ground, but the losses among both Demon and human soldiers were equally devastating.

As uncertainty and despair crept over him, a sudden blue light illuminated the sky.

The light spread swiftly, forming an enormous, slowly rotating blue magic circle that covered the entire battlefield.

Kaelen froze, his eyes widening in shock and horror as he stared at the ominous sight.

"Ancient magic? Damn it! Are mankind's forces trying to wipe us all out in a situation like this?" Kaelen growled, his voice thick with anger.

Hatred burned in his eyes as his fists clenched tightly, trembling with barely contained fury.

But before his anger could fully consume him, a startling event unfolded before him.

The monsters attacking both the Demon army and humanity abruptly froze in place. Their legs buckled slowly, as though immense pressure was forcing them down.

"This..." Kaelen's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the magic circle glowing above in the sky, disbelief etched across his face.

"Could this magic circle be suppressing the monsters, not us?" he wondered, relief washing over him like a wave.

Had the magic circle been intended to attack them, Kaelen had resolved to kill every human soldier in his path. Fortunately, that wasn't the case, and he felt a sense of relief.

With a sharp gaze, Kaelen seized the opportunity and charged straight at the motionless monsters.

Jim stood thirty meters away, observing Rain as she chanted ancient magic with a calm, detached expression.

"Jim, do you think it's safe for us to trust the Demon Emperor's plan?" Natasya's voice broke the silence, calm but laced with concern.

Jim's expression remained unchanged as he slipped his arm into the sleeves of his kimono robe and shook his head.

"If you're asking whether it's safe, the answer is definitely no. While the Bow Hero Luna claims the Demon Emperor's plan can solve the monster problem, I can't say for sure if it's true," Jim replied calmly.

Having witnessed the battle between the heroes and the Demon Emperor, Jim knew the Demon Emperor was immensely powerful—practically invincible. Even Valen and Guren, when they activated their hero destinies, were easily defeated.

But when it came to solving the monster problem, Jim wasn't convinced the Demon Emperor could succeed.

Natasya narrowed her eyes and asked hesitantly, "Then why did you agree to Bow Hero Luna's proposal to cooperate with the Demon Emperor?"

Jim smiled faintly and gazed upward at the glowing magic circle Rain had cast.

"Natasya, you must have noticed how strange these monsters are, and how their origins remain unclear. They appear in endless numbers, continuing to surge even after we kill them. If left unchecked, they'll inevitably spread throughout the Desert of Chaos and threaten the nearby towns where our people live," Jim explained quietly.

He lowered his gaze and sighed softly before continuing, "I don't have a solution to this problem, and I refuse to let ordinary people become victims. So, I decided to take a chance on the Demon Emperor's plan."

He knew that trusting the Demon Emperor was a risky move. After all, the Demon Emperor was their enemy, and he could have manipulated Luna and Valen to set a trap for them in this very situation.

But Jim also realized he had no other choice. The appearance of these mysterious monsters could prove catastrophic, especially for the towns near them.

His position now felt like being trapped between two mountains, with no way out but to move forward—or retreat.

Natasya could sense the helplessness in Jim's tone, and it made her feel subtle sadness.

To her, Jim had always seemed calm, as if he controlled everything. But now she saw a side of him she had never witnessed before—one filled with uncertainty.

Taking a deep breath, Natasya nodded resolutely. "Alright, I understand. You don't have to carry this burden alone. If anything goes wrong, I'll be there to help."

Her words brought warmth to Jim's heart, and he smiled faintly, giving her a small nod in return.

"Thank you. I'll count on you."

In the center of the battlefield, Leon, Luna, and Valen formed a triangular formation. Leon stood at the front, while Luna and Valen positioned themselves on the right and left, with a noticeable distance between them.

Valen crossed his arms, his face twisted with irritation.

He closed his eyes slowly and muttered,

"Luna, are you really sure about cooperating with him?"

Luna closed her eyes as well and responded calmly,

"Don't worry. I'm confident his plan will solve this crisis."

Valen furrowed his brows, still struggling to accept it.

"But..."

He began, but was quickly interrupted by Luna.

"If you keep questioning me, I'll make you regret it later,"

Luna said coldly.

Valen's expression stiffened, and he fell silent. Although he and Luna were equally strong, he knew not to underestimate her threat. Luna could be terrifying when angered, and he had no intention of provoking her in that state.

What they didn't realize was that Leon had heard every word of their conversation. Despite using hero techniques to communicate telepathically, he could still hear them—after all, he was a hero too.

"Valen is really annoying,"

Leon muttered with a sigh.

He took a deep breath to calm himself and looked up at the sky, where Rain's ancient magic circle blazed brightly.

"Now, can you tell me how to create the seal, Miranda?"

Leon asked softly, closing his eyes.

"Of course, master."

Miranda's voice echoed in his mind.

"To create the seal, have the other two heroes activate their hero destinies. Then, leave the rest to me."

Leon nodded slowly, replying simply,

"Okay."

He opened his eyes and turned to Valen and Luna behind him.

"To create the seal, all I need is for you to activate your hero destinies. Is that okay?" Leon asked.

Luna gave a small nod, while Valen snorted dismissively and looked away.

Despite Valen's cold attitude, Leon took it as approval.

"Then let's begin!" Leon commanded.

*Whoosh!*

Luna and Valen both closed their eyes, and soon, bright star-shaped marks appeared on their foreheads.

The Holy Spear of Soaring Dragon and the Holy Bow of Celestial Frost materialized before them, glowing with brilliant red and blue light, respectively.

Leon didn't stay idle once he saw they had started. He swiftly closed his eyes, gripping the Great Sword of Chaos in his right hand and the Holy Sword of Zenith in his left.

*Buzz!*

A streak of purple light appeared above Leon's head, transforming into the graceful figure of Miranda.

As she gazed at the Holy Sword of Zenith in Leon's left hand and the Holy Spear of Soaring Dragon and Holy Bow of Celestial Frost floating before Valen and Luna, her eyes were filled with a deep, unspoken longing.

"Sister Sylvia... we can finally reunite," she murmured softly.

After speaking, Miranda closed her eyes, extended her palms, and brought them together.

*Whoosh!*

The three holy weapons, along with the Great Sword of Chaos, shot into the sky before scattering to the four cardinal directions.

Miranda opened her eyes with a serene expression and whispered,

"Everlasting Chain Seal!"

*Whoosh!*

The four weapons vibrated violently, releasing an intense light, while an enormous circle adorned with ancient patterns appeared beneath the feet of both the Demon and human armies, leaving them stunned.

"Damn it! What's going on?!" A Demon soldier shouted in fear, his voice echoed by others in panic.

"Argh! Arghh!"

The monsters, on the verge of emerging from the sand, suddenly froze as though held in place by an invisible force.

Noticing this, the soldiers on the battlefield exchanged surprised glances before breaking into triumphant laughter.

"Hahaha! The monsters can't emerge anymore, thanks to the magic circle beneath our feet!"

"That's it! Hahaha! I never thought there'd be a way to stop these endless monsters!"

Joyful cheers erupted from the soldiers who witnessed the scene. Without hesitation, they swiftly wiped out the remaining monsters on the battlefield, their spirits lifted and morale high.

"Did it work?" Leon slowly opened his eyes, surprised to see Miranda standing before him.

"Yes, it worked," Miranda replied softly.

Leon sighed in relief, about to speak, when the ground beneath him suddenly began to tremble violently.

A moment later, a majestic, cold voice echoed across the battlefield.

"Who dared to defile my domain with the vile aura of those two lowly beings?!"

Miranda's eyes widened, and her heart pounded in her chest.

"This voice... Could it be the Evil God?!"
