Chapter 248: The Great Purge.
"Since you have guessed it, why bother to gamble? Gamblers will never have a good death." Li De said calmly.

"The strong prey on the weak, that's all!" Fenrir could let it go.

After all, facing absolute strength, there is really only so much he can do. Unless he abandons everything and runs away, he will either die in a spectacular battle or be strangled to death.

In short, given the current situation, as long as you don't leave, what will happen is bound to happen, it's just a matter of time.

As for gambling, who do you think is willing to do that?
There was a time when only others bet on whether or not they were that strong.

Unless we are forced into no other choice, who the hell would be willing to bet on whether you are strong enough?

"After all, we still have some hope. What if we are not that strong, right?" Li De said with a smile.

"Yeah, it's a pity that you are really that strong. I'm very curious about how you got this abnormal strength." Fenrir nodded.

"Sorry, I don't like answering questions for losers. I prefer to watch you die with confusion and unwillingness." Li De continued with a smile.

"What a bad taste." Fenrir said as he drew his sword.

"It's the same for you. After all, when you dealt with those opponents in the past, didn't you also make them die with hatred? You can't just let the powerful set fires and not allow the people to light lamps. If you are so hypocritical, you will not die well." Li De spread his hands and continued.

"This answer is really unpleasant." Fenrir said, waving the bloody tooth he had just pulled out in his hand.

The next second, a bright red afterimage swept towards Reed and Claire from all directions at an astonishing speed.

Each sword movement is smooth and beautiful, like a mesmerizing dance.

But unfortunately, this attack had no effect at all.

Reed and Claire stood there, seemingly not moving at all.

The bright red afterimage passed through their bodies and dissipated into the air.

"This sword skill is quite gorgeous." Li De curled his lips.

Fenrir's mouth twitched when he heard this, because what Li De said was just flashy and useless.

In fact, after seeing his sword skills penetrate the two people, Fenrir knew that this sword skill would have no effect on these two people.

Because the other party's speed was so fast, otherwise it would be impossible for his eyes to mistakenly believe that the two people were standing still without moving.

Only when the speed reaches a certain level, leaving an afterimage that the eyes cannot distinguish in time, can you deceive yourself.

So strong!
However, it is not so easy to just surrender like that.

It’s just an afterimage. I can do it too.

Just when Fenrir was about to use his special move, he suddenly felt a cold feeling on his neck.

when? !

How can it be? !
It was not until this moment that he realized that he was only stunned for a moment. Among the two people he was staring at, Claire disappeared without him knowing when and then appeared behind him.

"You" Fenrir had just said one word when he felt a huge force hitting the back of his head. The dizziness that he could not get rid of made Fenrir fall forward uncontrollably.

boom!
The next second, accompanied by a sound, Fenrir, who had already fainted before falling to the ground, hit his head harshly on the stone floor of the church.

Obviously, Claire didn't want to watch his poor performance anymore, so she knocked him unconscious.

"Sid, how should we deal with the sanctuary?" Claire asked Reed.

After all, the ruins at the bottom of the Magic Swordsman Academy, which was the sealed gate that Fenrir wanted to break before, was created by the orc Lily, one of the three ancient heroes, to seal Diabolos' right hand.

In other words, if you want to destroy Diabolos' body like before in the holy land of Lindblum.

Then the Holy Land must take drastic measures.

But in this case, the Magic Swordsman Academy located above the ruins might be affected.

As for Fenrir who was already unconscious in front of her, Claire didn't care about him.

After all, his fate has long been determined. Although Claire will not attack him again, the Shadow Thirteen has to do something since they were established. Prying open Fenrir's mouth falls under the category of torture. In other words, Esdeath, who is in charge of the prison, will take over Fenrir and will give him unforgettable memories in the future.

"The sanctuary is not an urgent issue that needs to be dealt with immediately. Let's deal with it next time we come back. I believe that by then Beta will be able to deal with that highly active right hand within a limited range." Li De said after thinking about it.

"That's fine." Claire nodded.

Although she also didn't like Beta's teasing look, if she let someone else deal with the right arm, it would probably cause a lot of noise.

After all, even if Li De came by himself, although he could rely on ultra-high temperature to directly burn the right arm, the side effects brought by this ultra-high temperature would inevitably reduce the entire Magic Swordsman Academy to ashes.

Therefore, the most suitable person to deal with Diabolos' right arm is Beta.

In fact, if it were not for the uncertainty, Beta's current petrochemical capabilities would definitely be able to solve this hidden danger, and it could be dealt with now.

But Li De didn't like any unexpected events, so he chose to wait until his next return to deal with them.

After all, if Beta's petrification ability can't solve the problem, he will need to use his ultimate move. In this case, the Magic Swordsman Academy may not be able to be saved.

Even if he didn't want to continue studying in the academy, Li De didn't want to just turn the tables and make it so that no one could study.

After all, there is no need to go to this extent. After all, it is a place for teaching and educating people, even if it is only for nobles.

"Then let's not delay any further and hand Fenrir over to Esdeath for interrogation. Alpha and Alexia are also waiting for the information in Fenrir's mind." Reed said immediately.

"Hmm!" Claire said, and a teleportation magic circle appeared under her feet.

Then the three of them disappeared into the sanctuary of the Magic Swordsman Academy.

When he appeared again, he had already arrived at the ancient capital of Alexandria.

As soon as I came over, Esdeath, who had received the notification, was already waiting here.

"Esdeath, how much time do you need?" Claire asked Esdeath, pointing at the unconscious Fenrir.

"No, 10. Let's be conservative and say 20 minutes." Esdeath thought for a moment and replied.

"Then I'll give you half an hour." Li De waved his hand.

"Yes, master! I will definitely not let you down." Esdeath immediately knelt on one knee and said.

"Then I'll wait for your good news." After saying that, Li De stretched out his hand and began to gather the demonic energy in his body towards his arm.

Soon, with the charging completed, the projection of the gate appeared in front of Esdeath.

That’s right, the time mentioned by the three people before, although it was the time in the real world, actually it did not refer to the time required for interrogation, but the time when Li De would open the gate next time.

As for torture, it must be carried out in the Zanmei world. After all, there are no torture instruments in the real world that Esdeath can use.

If you want to get accurate information in a short period of time, torture can only be carried out in the world of Zhan Mei.

According to the time conversion, 30 minutes in the real world is more than 7 and a half days in the world of Zhan Mei.

With Esdeath's level of torture, a week would be enough for Fenrir to suffer a fate worse than death countless times.

After all, in the past, when Esdeath was interrogating someone, she also had to ensure that the person being interrogated would not die quickly, so that the other person could feel enough pain.

But with the ability of the healing fruit, even injuries that could cause instant death can be recovered.

This undoubtedly removed the restrictions on Esdeath and enriched her methods and the intensity of torture.

With the main body and the split body taking turns, Fenrir can experience this journey of hell that others dare not even think about 24 hours a day.

Reed believed that no matter how determined Fenrir was, he would be destroyed by Esdeath.

When he wants to die quickly, he will readily tell everything he knows.

The only thing that is uncertain here is how long Fenrir can hold on.

This is also the reason why Esdeath wanted to say 10 minutes at first, but later became more conservative.

After all, Esdeath knew that the information in Fenrir's mind played a very important role in the power of her master in this world.

After the gate was formed, Esdeath picked up Fenrir and shot it to the opposite side.

Soon, half an hour passed.

While waiting for Li De to open the gate again, Esdeath's real body shot through the gate and projected back to the real world.

"How is it?" Claire asked.

"You overestimated this loser. He didn't even last half a day." Esdeath said with a pout.

After all, if I had known that Fenrir was so incompetent, I wouldn't have wasted her precious time for several days.

As she spoke, Esdeath took out the intelligence data obtained from the torture from her magic bag.

Alpha Beta and others on the side immediately stepped forward to divide the information.

After all, those possessed by demons who had lost everything because of the Diabolos Cult's distortion of the truth are the most enthusiastic about eradicating it.

"Esdeath, what's the situation with the second batch of contractors?" Li De also asked at this time.

"It has adapted to the transformed bloodline, but it would be better to give it a little more time. After all, even if some knowledge is directly instilled into it through the contract, it will not be achieved overnight to digest it and make it completely one's own." Esdeath said after thinking for a while.

"Esdeath, in your opinion, how much time will these people need, especially Xue Ji?" Claire on the side also asked.

"As for Xue Ji alone, it's almost done for now. After all, when the master returns there, he will wait until the rest time is almost over before leaving, so it's okay to return now.

But if we want to include other people, it would be better to wait for two more days. After all, the more prepared we are, the more calmly we can deal with whatever happens later. "Esdeath looked at Claire and answered.

"Okay, sister, let's wait for two more days. Alpha and the others just need this time to settle personal grudges." Reed said before Claire who seemed to be about to say something.

"It's a personal grudge. Yes, it does need to be dealt with." Claire was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she said.

After all, what Reed said was correct, because after the formation of the Shadow Guard Squad 13, the main responsibility of Alpha and others was to protect Reed and act according to Reed's will.

Instead of acting around the goal of destroying the Diabolos Cult that was proposed when the Shadow Court was established.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to describe the once common ideals as personal grudges.

After all, no matter who it is, one can see that their master is currently focusing on the trial mission.

Such a trivial matter as destroying the Diabolos Cult was not even worthy of being mentioned in front of his master.

That is to say, everyone cannot let go of the hatred in their hearts, but at the same time they do not intend to give up the world they were born into. Otherwise, it is completely possible to leave this world and never come back.

You must know that the world of Zhan Mei has been completely taken over by Li De. Even though it has not been sorted out yet, one thing that cannot be denied is that Li De has become the sole ruler of that world.

Even if Li De wants to give up this world and focus on managing the world he has already conquered, there is nothing wrong with that.

Fortunately, Li De did not intend to give up the real world, otherwise he would not have to go through so much trouble at this moment.

After Reed spoke, Alpha and others who had obtained information about Fenrir's brain immediately mobilized personnel to confirm it.

In less than an hour, the locations of all Fenrir faction members in the entire Kingdom of Midgar were locked down.

Before these people had time to receive news about what happened in the Magic Swordsman Academy, Alpha and others had already started to act.

The hosts Alexia and Alice were in charge of the bloody cleanup in the royal capital, together with Fubuki and Esdeath, who were temporarily hired by Alexia.

The entire Midgar outside the royal capital is under the charge of the girls from the Shadow Courtyard.

Even though there are less than 700 people, and most of them have not had their bloodlines transformed, they are strong enough to completely defeat the members of the Diabolos Cult.

After all, the strong ones were killed one by one by Alpha and other cadres. If these girls can't handle the remaining minions on their own, it would be a shame for Lambda's militarized training.

After the battle, which lasted less than an hour, came to a quick end, the finishing work was the real waste of time.

As mentioned before, those who become members of the Diabolos Cult are all well-known figures.

The arrest of such a person, no matter what the reason, will inevitably cause turmoil.

This is something that cannot be solved by individual strength.

If it weren't for this, Li De on the Empire's side would have already sent people to clean up those termites.

Although the subsequent impact cannot be dealt with in just two days.

But once the main operation is completed, the remaining parts can be taken over by the split body.

As for the real bodies of the girls, they must follow Li De back to the world of Zhan Mei.

After returning to the world of Zhan Mei, Li De naturally had to shoulder the work that came with the profession of emperor. After all, there were no major events in the empire at the moment, but there were too many trivial matters to be outrageous.

After working intermittently for eleven months, the rest time during the mission was finally running out.

Only then did Li De gather people and accept the mission in the Naruto world.
