Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Thorns sprouted in clusters beneath Moli’s feet.

This time, Yang Yu did not weave the thorns into a wall, instead, he crafted a ground net.

Moli was wielding a giant sword.

If he had allowed the thorns to form a large wall, Moli’s giant sword would easily have swept through it, turning it into fragments.

The ground net, however, could delay Moli even slightly by tangling around her feet, allowing Bai Jin and the others time to cast their skills.

Nevertheless, Moli promptly unleashed her skill ”Hurricane Impact”.

A hurricane whirled up in front of her, and the thorns Yang Yu had placed on the ground were instantly shredded into scraps.

”Thorny Binding” scarcely bought them any time.

Sensing she could use her skill again, Iyas drew her longbow and fired ”Gale Point Break” at the charging Moli.

The sharp arrow pierced through the magical hurricane surrounding Moli, yet Iyas’s arrow was repelled far away by Moli’s armor.

The armor on ”Chaste Jasmine” was of Legendary Level, particularly resistant to physical attacks, especially from a distance.

Even Iyas’s ”Gale Point Break,” known for its strong penetrating power, could not gain the upper hand against this legendary armor.

To genuinely inflict damage on ”Chaste Jasmine,” they would need to use magic, or something with the penetrating power of Holy Light.

However, faced with the slashing Moli, Iyas couldn’t fully control Holy Light.

Lotcar was about to lead Bai Jin and the others to dodge, but suddenly a red light emanated from ”Chaste Jasmine,” who unleashed a skill Yang Yu had long desired to master,

”Taunt.”

As Lotcar tried to move away, his body involuntarily pulled back to its original position, and he even moved a few steps closer to ”Chaste Jasmine.”

Just as Lotcar was about to collide with the giant sword, Bai Jin fired several Frost Ice Arrows, attempting to block it, but Moli’s giant sword crushed them into powder.

Despite the ice crystals scattering over her, Moli lifted her giant sword and activated ”Dark Abyss Sword,” an ominous purple-brown aura entwined around her giant sword.

This was Moli’s most powerful skill, a formidable attack launched at the cost of half of her Magic Power.

He Meng was still emitting heat, not yet recovered from the impact of Flame Magic.

At this moment, He Meng realized that the enemy they were currently facing was on a completely different level from any they had encountered before,

and if they did not fight seriously, they would certainly die here.

In the nick of time, He Meng held nothing back and leaped in front of the giant sword swung by Moli.

”Royal Bloodline: Defense Super Enhancement.”

A bright pale blue light flickered, and He Meng seemed to be surrounded by an invisible Copper Wall Iron Curtain, his defensive power skyrocketed, breaking through ten thousand, increasing tenfold.

As a consequence, He Meng’s Level dropped by one, from LV.104 to LV.103.

Moli’s giant sword struck He Meng’s body, but it felt as if hitting a remarkably thick iron plate.

A sudden thought crossed Moli’s mind, ”What kind of Slime is this that it can withstand my attacks... could this be the legendary Royal Slime?”

Having such a powerful Slime as a companion, who exactly is this man?

He Meng didn’t come up with an answer in her mind before Moli took action. Without a word, she drew back her sword, flipped the giant sword over, and used it like a racket to send the falling He Meng flying like a ball.

Seizing this opportunity, Iyas extended a hand and targeted ”Chaste Jasmine” with a swing of Holy Light, striking ”Chaste Jasmine” like a hammer.

”Holy Punishment” landed a critical hit at this critical moment.

Bai Jin also switched magic attributes, creating several penetrating Lightning Arrows that hit ”Chaste Jasmine” head-on.

That wasn’t all; countless Water Balls separated from He Meng’s semi-gelatinous body as she soared into the sky, instantly transforming into Long Spears.

”Royal Bloodline: Slime King’s Spear.”

This was a skill unique to the Royal Slime, also requiring level as a price.

The spears, as if controlled by countless Elite Slime troops, were sharp and deadly. He Meng, like a king leading this troop, issued a slaughtering command.

Numerous blue spears shot out suddenly, covering all possible movements of ”Chaste Jasmine.”

Though He Meng’s strength growth was poor, her power had increased with level, and a shot from the Slime spear was still capable of delivering substantial damage...

That should have been the case.

The blame falls on ”Royal Bloodline: Slime King’s Spear” being a physical skill, and moreover, a ranged one.

A melodious music echoed from the forest, and a pure white Array formed under ”Chaste Jasmine’s” feet, adding a white Shield around her.

He Meng’s Slime spear hit Moli, and it barely managed to break the shield enveloping Moli.

Falling straight from the sky, He Meng began to doubt her life, as her strongest attack was so easily blocked.

Melodious harp sounds emerged again from the forest, followed by a red light enveloping Moli.

Yang Yu caught a glimpse of the Array pattern on the ground and his heart tightened; the skill being released was ”Heroic Ode.”

This skill was the strongest support skill a Bard could learn, boosting strength, defense, intelligence, special defense, speed by 50%, and adding an additional 20% damage.

Yang Yu liked to refer to this skill as an ”Unfair Advantage.”

The difficulty of learning this skill was naturally not on the same level as ordinary skills.

In this world, only a handful of people could use this skill.

It was a skill all Bards wanted to learn, but only the rarest among them could master.

As expected of a disciple of the Curse Sect, hiding dragons and lying tigers.

What the Curse Sect was here for, Yang Yu did not know.

But Yang Yu surmised, it likely wasn’t because Bai Jin’s identity was exposed.

The most likely possibility was that the Curse Sect simply didn’t want him, an individual, to influence the battle and aimed to assassinate him.

Moli, now enhanced in all aspects, swung her giant sword at Lotcar. Lotcar couldn’t dodge in time, and a blood red line streaked from his right shoulder to his flank, staining his fur red with blood.

Grimacing in pain, Lotcar dodged the subsequent slashes.

Iyas placed her hand on Lotcar, intending to heal him, but was stopped by Yang Yu’s shout, commanding loudly:

”Iyas, use ’Dispel Technique’, Bai Jin, ’Weapon Corrosion,’ hurry!”
