"Booster Dice!

Booster factor 11!

10 million tonne punch barrage x 11

Hundred and Ten Million tonne punch barrage!"

Anna did not wait for the devil to finish throwing its tantrum and attacked it with her strongest move with the buff of the Booster Dice. Thankfully the two dice rolled a five and a 6, adding to an 11. Giving Anna's next attack an 11 times boost. Increasing the weight behind Anna's Giga punch from ten million tonnes to a hundred and ten million tonnes.

Normally faced with a punch of hundred and ten million tonne force, the devil would have easily taken it head-on, and it would barely have any scratch. But right now, the devil is not at its peak power. Its power is suppressed by the world. So much so that its realm has been decreased from a devil to a demon emperor. A demon emperor couldn't withstand a one million tonne Giga punch, let alone a hundred and ten million tonne Giga punch.

Even with the strong physique of a devil, without a devil's realm backing it, the devil could never withstand the hundred and ten million tonne punch. Its fate was sealed once Anna activated the punishment of the Atlas star of the Taurus constellation array formation as part of the zodiac installation array formation of the 88 constellation array formation

*Boom**Boom**Boom*

As Anna's fists connected with the devil's dried molten lava exterior, it punched a hole into the devil's body, and the flesh at the area of impact burst into dust. About a dozen fist-sized holes were punched into the devil's body, and soon, the rest of its body turned to dust.

As the devil died, Anna had teleported back to her original location by the unparalleled arena. Anna did not get the chance to say good to her ancestors. For Anna, it didn't matter as she did not understand the buzzing and humming sounds made by the statues of her ancestors. She felt like they were nagging her. But only the ancestors knew how many of them were fighting amongst themselves to pass on their teachings and knowledge to Anna. Alas, Anna was still far from deciphering their soul whispers.

…

"What took you so long? Did you play with your prey again?" Returning to the military base, Anna was faced with Ann, who apparently should be busy supplying her energy to the dungeon relocation but was out here bugging her.

"No! I almost felt like I would lose my life there. You guys show some appreciation. I saved all of you from a huge disaster. " Anna was irritated by the lack of appreciation shown by Ann.

"Yeah! That disaster was created by you. If you weren't dumb enough to have believed in a demon cult's fanatics oath, all of this wouldn't happen in the first place." Ann retorted.

"Fuck! Whatever! Why aren't you next to the dungeon apparatus filling it with your energy?" Anna saw no point in arguing with Ann. After all, it was her fault for trusting a demon cult minion. And then Anna asked her why she wasn't helping out Luna with the dungeon relocation.

"Oh, about that! The dungeon relocation has reached its final stage. They don't need my help anymore. So I am free now." Ann reported enthusiastically.

"What? Didn't Luna say it would take a few more days?" Anna asked in astonishment as she wanted to spend a few more days here, far from the Heatsend family Palace and her family's reach.

"It's all thanks to the 'Southern Emperor' card you activated to fight the devil. When you were fighting with the devil in the unparalleled Arena, I used the demigod realm boost given by the area formation covering the southern region to help Luna complete the dungeon relocation. That's how the days of work got completed in a few hours. In a way, the demon cult ambush turned into a blessing for the dungeon relocation. Now we can return to the palace soon. I want to see everybody. I miss them so much. " Ann explained how she used the realm boost she gained when Anna activated the southern emperor card to help speed up the dungeon relocation process.

"Yeah, it is all because of the demon cult bastard," Anna said menacingly. She blamed the demon cult for ruining her vacation in the sky blossom city.

*Boom!* a loud explosion could be heard from the Sky Blossom city.

Turning to the direction of the city, Anna asked Ann, "Why is the city so noisy?"

"The Demon cult's minions seem to be attacking the city. Grandpa Lorn said they might be doing so to divide our forces. And mount a second ambush. So he asked us to stay put." Ann narrated that old Lorenzo ordered the forces to focus on defending the military base and the dungeon relocation. As the enemy might be planning a second ambush if they decided to divide their powers to help the civilians in the city.

"Why isn't he using the city array formation to help them remotely?" Anna was not happy with Lorenzo's orders and asked why he didn't help the civilians when he was fully capable of doing so.

'The core of the city array is in the city's card creationist guild. They are currently using the array to help the civilians and fight the demon cult minions. Don't worry. I have already contacted them. They seem to have everything under control.' Old Lorenzo explained to Anna through mental transmission.

"Old fart, you couldn't dispatch a few card kings to protect the city from the demon cult?" Anna asked furiously.

'Anna, you know the answer why. If the demon cult is waiting nearby for a second ambush, I would be sending those soldiers to their death. I am following the protocol, Anna. And as the highest authority here, you should too.' Lorenzo explained. Showing that he is more concerned about defending the millinery base than sparing a few card apprentices to protect the city and help the civilians.

"Fuck you, old geezer! I am going to clean up the demon cult pest infestation in the city. You sit tight and follow your protocol."
