Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

It shouldn’t be a mistake.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to do it, but he can’t.

There is a saying that when a person dies, they become a ghost, continuing to exist in this world, omnipresent, but invisible and untouchable to people.

Another saying is that only those who have a strong obsession before death will become ghosts, and ghosts only appear in remote places.

According to the second saying, why do ghosts appear in remote places...

Are they afraid of too many people and being ganged up on?

Or is it that the presence of many people interferes with the existence of ghosts.

As soon as this thought appeared, several important pieces of information quickly flashed through Yang Yu’s mind.

The soul is a by-product...

By-product of what?

The magic wand trying to tempt Bai Jin seems to know many magics Bai Jin doesn’t, from which it can be inferred that the soul is probably a by-product of magic power or magic...

Everyone has characteristic magic power, if it can be recorded with a crystal ball, remote communication can be realized.

Does characteristic magic power radiate out?

High-level magicians can identify a person by the characteristic magic power emitted from their body.

The first plant to tame magic power was alfalfa...

Have other plants tamed magic power since then?

If other plants did not tame magic power to create their characteristic magic power, there would not be so many different kinds of potions.

A thought suddenly erupted in Yang Yu’s mind.

In the blink of an eye, Zero Technique arrived at Yang Yu’s side, its charred hand stabbing towards Yang Yu, with grey mist following closely.

Yang Yu squatted to avoid Zero Technique’s attack, Lotcar found a path on the ridge, swinging its body to avoid being enveloped by Zero Technique’s grey mist.

Yang Yu and his team were temporarily safe, but Zero Technique once again detached its arm and attacked Yang Yu’s team.

This time, it was faster than before.

In for a penny, in for a pound.

Yang Yu opened the system’s item bar and shouted:

”Lotcar, revert to human form and shatter everything I throw! Don’t knock them away!”

As soon as Lotcar heard Yang Yu’s voice, it saw countless colorful glass bottles filled with various potions flying from the sky.

Although unsure of Yang Yu’s plan, Lotcar had immense faith in Yang Yu.

A cloud of white mist rose, and Lotcar’s massive wolf-like body suddenly vanished, replaced by a sturdy white wolf humanoid beastman.

Lotcar swung heavy fists towards the sky filled with potions, shattering the glass bottles containing various potions into powder instantly.

Colorful liquids continuously splashed all around Yang Yu and his team.

The scents of various potions mixed into an indescribably complex aroma.

Zero Technique drew closer and closer, but Yang Yu’s hands didn’t stop, pulling out as many different types of potions as possible, tossing them to be thoroughly shattered by Lotcar.

If some elderly ordinary adventurers saw Yang Yu squandering potions like this, they would certainly cry out that Yang Yu was wasteful and run over to cling to Yang Yu’s legs, hoping this big shot would guide them.

Ordinary adventurers typically keep a few potions on hand just in case, but those are extremely common potions, far less varied than Yang Yu’s collection.

Before leaving the All Things Library, Yang Yu had amassed a large fortune, as Iyas had not yet learned Holy Light Skills and the revive elixir was almost used up.

To stay cautious, Yang Yu stocked up on the cheaper potions, like Thawing Potion, Anti-numbing Medicine, and antidotes, each in the nineties, and also bought quite a few higher-end potions.

Later, Yang Yu also purchased some equipment...

This led to Yang Yu not having enough funds when he went to the Sethis Kingdom to find Iyas’s younger brother, having to sell his stock of resurrection medicine.

However.....

With so many potions, aside from using a lot of HP Recovery Potions during wartime, most of the other potions languished in storage.

Even the Blue Potion, which he thought would be very useful at critical moments, was hardly used because Bai Jin learned to draw magic power from the air, and Iyas Holy Light System’s Blue Consumption was lower than expected.

Now, most of these potions were being thrown out by Yang Yu at once.

If Yang Yu’s guess was correct, each additional potion increased their chances of survival.

Letting potions and glass shards splash onto him, Yang Yu protected Bai Jin and gave her another sip of high-level HP Recovery Potion before looking at the approaching Zero Technique.

Zero Technique drew nearer, and Yang Yu lightly moved across the volcanic rock soaked in various potions, retreating to the center of the potion-soaked area.

As soon as it touched the potion-soaked area, Zero Technique sensed something amiss.

Its ethereal figure came to an abrupt halt, and the arm pulled by grey energy also returned to its original position.

Yang Yu laid out a blanket and gently placed Bai Jin on it.

Wiping a hand through his hair damp with potions, Yang Yu gazed at Zero Technique, whose face looked ashen, and smiled:

”Why not attack? It’s only some potions.”

Zero Technique knew Yang Yu was certainly asking knowingly. Although unsure how Yang Yu did it, Yang Yu had somehow created an area as if occupied by thousands of people.

Though unclear about the principle, as a spiritual body, Zero Technique found its power constantly dwindling whenever approaching densely populated areas, sometimes even clouding its consciousness.

To avoid such occurrences, Zero Technique consistently avoided crowds, only secretly observing the bustle from the shadows.

Not just Zero Technique, other spiritual bodies were the same.

A small group of around twenty was the limit for Zero Technique to engage with individually.

Any more, and his power would greatly reduce, rendering him helpless.

This restriction requires a large number of spiritual bodies to form a ghost group, or, for a Spirit Manipulator to be near the spiritual bodies to be removed.

Unfortunately, Zero Technique met neither condition.

Facing Yang Yu’s seemingly small yet densely populated area, Zero Technique was like a demon discovering the Tang Monk, yet blocked outside by the circle drawn by the Monkey King.

”This time, you got lucky. The Curse Sect will take your lives next time.”

The grey energy released by Zero Technique gradually retracted back into his body, and at some point, the bandages wound back around his arm.

Having acquired the Scepter capable of sealing the Demon Lord was already a significant achievement.

Since he couldn’t deal with Yang Yu and his companions now, he would reluctantly retreat for now.

Turning into a shadow, slipping underground, Zero Technique planned to pick up Bai Jin’s Magic Wand and make his escape.

However, Yang Yu had already moved ahead of him, snatching up Bai Jin’s Magic Wand, and as he smeared it on himself, he smiled at Zero Technique who emerged from the ground:

”This is our stuff! Didn’t say it’s yours, now it’s got our scent, if you have the ability, come and snatch it!”

Unable to bear Yang Yu’s taunt, diligent Zero Technique immediately fixed his gaze on Yang Yu, his palm lunging towards him.

But before his hand could touch Yang Yu, a mysterious power seemingly intent on draining the strength from his hand erased part of his palm.

”One day, I will end you all.”

With a snort, diligent Zero Technique swiftly transformed into a shadow, vanishing completely into the crevices of the volcanic rocks.

Yang Yu let out a sigh of relief, raising his hand to smell the potion on his fingers, indeed the scent wasn’t pleasant.
