Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, and Eta are all 18 years old this year. Milia and Xi Nuo are also 18 years old this year.
According to Viscount Olba's intelligence, his daughter Milia is currently in a secret research facility in the Midgar Kingdom.
The people there are researching how to cultivate powerful beings like the Three Heroes.
Milia is one of the test subjects there.
Xi De led Shadow Garden into action, intending to kill everyone without leaving a single survivor.
Shadow Garden now has 57 members.
This is all thanks to Xi Nuo's help; Alpha and the others are growing at an astonishing rate.
"I can handle it alone. You all are responsible for guarding the perimeter and ensuring no one escapes!" Xi Nuo declared.
"Understood!"
Xi Nuo charged into the secret research facility alone.
"Who's there!" a guard shouted upon seeing Xi Nuo.
"The one who will kill you!" Xi Nuo instantly killed two guards with a single sword strike.
At this moment, the guards inside the base heard the voices of the outside guards and became alert.
Then, they saw Xi Nuo, dressed in a black military uniform, strolling in casually.
The guards exchanged glances, feeling as if Xi Nuo was some high-ranking leader.
After all, he looked completely at ease, as if walking through his own home.
"Who are you!" a guard asked out of duty.
Xi Nuo didn't waste words with them, killing eight guards with a single sword, along with three hidden dark guards. He left one dark guard alive.
He grabbed that dark guard with a Magic Hand.
"Lead the way or die!"
"Long live diabolos!" Xi Nuo killed the dark guard and continued deeper.
At this point, the base's alarm sounded.
Diabolos Cult soldiers continuously rushed out, only to be instantly killed by Xi Nuo.
After killing for a long time, Xi Nuo caught a lab worker in a white coat.
"Tell me, where is the place where the Demon Possession is held?"
"Let me go, and I'll tell you!"
"I'm only giving you three seconds to answer!"
"3"
"2"
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you! It's in the hidden door laboratory to the front left!"
"Lead the way!"
"Yes!" The lab worker tremblingly led the way.
Along the way, people constantly ambushed them, trying to kill both the lab worker and Xi Nuo.
But they were all instantly killed by Xi Nuo.
The overall commander of the research facility realized that this black-clad person was unstoppable and could only issue a retreat order.
Alpha, after some exploration, found three locations suspected of being secret exits to the laboratories.
These three locations were guarded by Alpha, Beta, and Zeta, who led their people.
The others were on alert around the research facility in case there were other exits.
Under the guidance of the lab worker, Xi Nuo successfully found the laboratory and saw Milia, Viscount Olba's daughter.
There were also seventeen other Demon Possessions.
And a scientist wearing glasses.
"Who are you? Don't you know you can't just enter and exit here as you please!" Xi Nuo recognized the person; it was the one who would later experiment on Alexia.
Xi Nuo didn't bother with pleasantries and directly killed the person.
He killed all the other lab workers as well.
Xi Nuo looked back and saw that the lab worker he had been holding to guide him had disappeared.
"That's interesting. To escape right under my nose!" Xi Nuo walked directly to Milia and used his Magic on her.
Her body instantly transformed into a ball of flesh.
Xi Nuo first removed the various drugs from her body. Without these drugs, Milia would revert to the state Alpha was in at the beginning.
Xi Nuo used his Magic again, and a minute later, she returned to her original state as a white-haired girl.
"This, is this real or fake? Am I dreaming!" Milia exclaimed, looking at her body restored to its original state.
Xi Nuo waved his hand, and a slime cape draped over her body.
Xi Nuo walked towards the other Demon Possessions.
Under Milia's witness, one person after another returned to their original state.
During this time, Milia kept pinching her cheeks repeatedly.
She could still feel the pain, but she truly couldn't believe this was real!
Her face was red from pinching, but she was still repeatedly pinching her face.
Xi Nuo finished treating all the Demon Possessions, walked over, and gave her a hard pinch on the cheek.
"This is real. Let's go! You all follow me!" Xi Nuo waved his hand and said.
Xi Nuo left the base with the others, found Alpha, and handed these people over to Alpha.
Outside, bodies were strewn everywhere. There were Diabolos Cult members everywhere, and Alpha and her team had dealt with all of them.
"You all go in and see if there's any important data left. If not, I'll blow this place up!" Alpha led her people inside to check, taking some important data. Finally, Xi Nuo nuked the place with a nuclear bomb.
There was no need for such a human experimentation facility to exist.
Xi Nuo took Milia with him, leaving the others for Alpha to handle.
Viscount Olba paced back and forth, anxiously waiting for Xi Nuo.
How could Viscount Olba not be excited to see his daughter?
"Father!" Viscount Olba turned his head and saw Milia.
"Milia!"
"Father!" The two embraced.
"Father, is this real? Is this truly real?" Milia still found it hard to believe.
"It's real, everything is real. Milia, welcome back!" Xi Nuo temporarily left; the father and daughter probably had a lot more to say.
He wouldn't interfere.
Xi Nuo arrived at a nearby mountaintop, where there was a small pavilion he had built himself.
From here, he could look down on all the smaller mountains.
The scenery was quite good.
Xi Nuo took out a teapot and three teacups, filling two of the teacups.
Alpha walked over and sat opposite Xi Nuo.
"Phantom, we plan to leave! The Diabolos Cult organizations in the surrounding territories of Kageno have been cleared. It's time for us to go out into the world!"
"It seems you've finally taken a big step!"
"This is all thanks to you!"
"Thank you for all these years of guidance!"
"Saying thanks is too much. Thanks are for people who don't have a good relationship! There's no need for us to say thanks!"
"Are thanks for people who don't have a good relationship?" Alpha repeated softly.
The breeze rustled Alpha's golden hair.
Xi Nuo's voice echoed in her mind.
The surrounding scenery, the atmosphere of this moment, all had a subtle feeling.
"Phantom, Viscount Olba is here!" Alpha pointed to the side.
"I didn't sense him!" Xi Nuo turned his head.
Xi Nuo looked into the distance; Viscount Olba and Milia were approaching.
Viscount Olba saw Xi Nuo drinking tea there.
Viscount Olba immediately knelt, and Milia also knelt with him.
"You saved my life and saved my daughter. I truly have no way to repay you. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it without regret!"
"Me too!" Milia also spoke.
"Take this!" a small black triangle.
"Take this. This is a Magic communicator. I will contact you when needed. For now, you will stay with The Order and be a stable member of The Order."
"Yes!"
"Milia, for now, you will follow me as a maid!"
"Yes!"
