Meanwhile, the Pope inside the cave saw everything outside clearly through a crystal ball.
"Who exactly is this guy? Such incredible speed! Kles was killed so easily."
"Could it be an S-Class Mage from some guild? But I've never seen this kid before."
"He seemed to be looking for something just now. Could it be that someone he knows was among those in the massacred villages?"
"The people from those villages are all still outside, not yet brought in. Those inside the cave were brought in some time ago."
At this moment, the Pope's confidant, Law, said from the side, "Your Holiness, wasn't there one village among those brought in that you had sent in ahead of time?"
"There was such a thing?" the Pope asked, puzzled.
"Yes, Your Holiness. According to reports from subordinates, the wealth plundered from that village was more than the sum of all the other villages combined."
"You ordered them to send the people from that village in first, Your Holiness."
"Now that you mention it, it seems there was such an incident."
"Which means this young man is very likely here to find that village."
"What is the situation with that village now?"
"Reporting to Your Holiness, according to our calculations, they should have successfully evolved."
"And it seems Fabu even merged them together."
Upon hearing this, the Pope suddenly thought of something. After giving instructions to Law, he continued to watch the crystal ball.
Outside the cave at this moment, Ye Yang had already walked into the cave. Compared to the outside, the smell of blood and decay inside the cave was even more intense, and the roars of monsters could be heard from time to time.
Under Ye Yang's perception, he headed straight in the direction of the Pope.
Soon, he reached the outer gate. Just as Ye Yang was about to destroy the gate, it opened automatically.
Ye Yang walked inside without hesitation.
Only one figure was seen on the main seat.
Ye Yang didn't bother to waste words with him. He raised his finger, and a flash of light shot directly over.
In that instant, a figure appeared in front of the flash of light and slashed at it with a sword.
However, what this person didn't expect was that the flash of light exploded the moment it touched the sword.
The person blocking was directly blown away, crashing heavily against the wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and slowly collapsing to the ground.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
"Amazing, amazing! As expected of an S-Class Mage from the Light Guild."
Ye Yang looked at the "dead man" in front of him with a cold expression.
"You know me? That's right, the one peeking at me from inside must be you, you bug."
"Hahaha, this Pope truly didn't recognize you at first, but after seeing the emblem in your hand just now, I remembered."
"The youngest S-Class Mage in history, the Golden Flash, Ye Yang, hailed as the Son of Light."
"Since you already know, then you can die."
"Young man, don't be in such a hurry. Don't you want to know where the people you're looking for are?"
As soon as the Pope's words fell, Ye Yang's body trembled slightly.
Before Ye Yang could speak, the Pope spoke again.
"This Pope is merciful. The people you want to see are right here."
As he spoke, the Pope clapped his hands, and the curtain beside him fell directly.
A huge figure appeared before Ye Yang's eyes. It was a giant monster, its four limbs bound by thick, unknown metal chains, with dozens of people guarding it.
Ye Yang initially thought, based on his perception, that the thing inside was the Pope's trump card.
But when he saw the familiar faces imprinted on the giant creature, the rage in his heart became completely uncontrollable.
The entire cave began to shake violently, and Ye Yang's expression instantly turned deranged.
"You deserve to die! Deserve to die—!!!"
Ye Yang's figure instantly vanished from his spot, appearing directly in front of the Pope, his finger directly piercing into the Pope's ear.
The Pope only felt all sounds around him disappear, with only a buzzing in his mind.
Soon, an intense pain swept through his entire body.
"Ah ah ah ah!!!!"
The Pope's screams echoed throughout the room.
"Kill... kill... him..." As soon as the words fell, the Pope fainted.
The subordinates responsible for guarding the monster hadn't even reacted when they saw their Pope already lying in a pool of blood.
After hearing the Pope's words, all the subordinates rushed towards Ye Yang. In just a moment, they were all pierced by golden light and fell down.
Meanwhile, the originally unconscious Pope was being supported by Law, who had just been blasted away, and walked towards another area.
Ye Yang raised his finger, and a laser shot directly towards the two of them.
Seeing the danger, Law pushed the Pope inside, his heart directly pierced through, and he fell to the ground without a sound.
Just as Ye Yang was about to go and finish off the Pope, the previously quiet monster collective began to move.
"Clatter! Clatter!..."
"Bang! Bang!"
"Roar—!!!"
The awakened monster collective directly broke free from its chains.
Its eyes were fixed on Ye Yang, saliva constantly drooling from its mouth, a sign that it wanted to feed.
Ye Yang saw familiar faces imprinted all over the monster's body, and the face on the monster's head was that of the Tata Village chief.
Ye Yang lowered his head and walked forward step by step.
The monster powerfully pushed off with its legs and quickly rushed towards Ye Yang.
It punched Ye Yang heavily, sending him flying backward to crash against the wall, slowly sliding down along it.
Blood slowly flowed from the corner of Ye Yang's mouth.
"This punch, I owe it to you all. You all raised us back then."
After speaking, Ye Yang quickly ran towards the monster. The monster swung its fist, smashing directly into the ground.
"This punch is for failing to protect you all and letting you suffer."
Just as the monster was about to kill Ye Yang with a punch, its fist stopped in front of Ye Yang and did not advance further.
A familiar voice came through.
"Is... is that little Yang Yang?"
Ye Yang suddenly opened his eyes, pushing aside the fist in front of him, and saw the village chief's face moving.
"Old man!"
"Little Yang Yang, quick... quick and kill us..."
As soon as the words fell, the monster regained control of its body and swung its fist again, but this time the fist did not land on Ye Yang, but smashed beside him.
"Quick... kill... kill us..."
"Roar—!!!"
The monster instantly became frenzied, wildly striking its own body. For a moment, blood splattered everywhere, and the faces on its chest were all battered beyond recognition.
"You deserve to die too!!"
"Kusanagi Sword!"
"Ah ah ah ah!!"
"Thud!"
The light sword plunged straight into the monster's heart, and the entire cave fell silent.
"Thump!"
The monster slowly knelt down.
"Live... live well... little Yang Yang..."
"Mm!" Tears slowly flowed from his eyes.
