Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Hero Lox is walking a path befitting a hero’s journey.

The chronicles of the giant dragons began with Lox’s announcement to the world of his hero status.

Yang Yu did not know what kind of person Lox was before, but judging from his performance after his appearance, he is a remarkably virtuous and positive figure.

Empathizing with the people’s woes, willing to fight for the weak, standing up against injustice... any positive phrase fits Lox without any discord.

Yet, not everyone will believe in such a noble character.

Yi Zuo, who possesses the Star Eye, is one of them.

Faced with Lox’s earnest plea, Yi Zuo not only refused to agree but also was filled with jealousy because his childhood sweetheart and fiancée were in the hero’s team, making things difficult for Lox in every way.

Lox did not harbor any resentment towards Yi Zuo for his malicious difficulties, but instead, proved his innocence and sincerity with his actions.

Even though the process was somewhat melodramatic, Hero Lox indeed impressed Yi Zuo with his character.

This led Yi Zuo to entrust his country’s affairs to reliable ministers and formally join the hero’s team, fighting alongside them against the Demon King.

As for what happened after...

Upon hearing that the country of the Star Clan was invaded by the Demon King, Lox resolutely, without regard for personal safety, helped Yi Zuo save his nation.

Unfortunately, the country of the Star Clan became a fleeting comet in history, vanishing forever.

In the end, only Yi Zuo survived from the Star Eyes Clan.

Looking at the hero who kept apologizing with tears streaming down, Yi Zuo lost his kingly demeanor and comforted Lox with a forced smile, silently vowing to repay him well.

The day of repayment was not far off. When the team fell into the Demon King’s trap, Yi Zuo stood up resolutely.

To protect the hero’s escape, Yi Zuo faced numerous armies alone and was eventually captured and taken to Demon King City.

After enduring countless tortures, Yi Zuo was turned into a Magic Beast by the Demon King and thrown before the hero...

Before that, Yang Yu witnessed the betrayal of Uncle Clochi Doron to the hero, eliminating Lox’s last weakness; he also saw Amon making painful choices again and again; and saw Misha repeatedly using [Fallen Divine Tears] to save the team from the Demon King’s forces, exhausting her fortune...

These were things that Yang Yu had heard about previously.

Events he had never heard of were also happening one by one before Yang Yu’s eyes. He saw the previous generation’s Demon King and his Four Heavenly Kings under his command.

The Demon King was an imposing figure, wearing a black helmet and armor that emitted a unique black aura, yet he draped a purely white cloak.

The previous Demon King, swift and decisive, would ruthlessly crush any subordinates who disobeyed him.

He hated the native inhabitants of this world but had an extreme fondness for the strong.

While recruiting the strong, his favorite phrase was: ”This is turning from darkness to light.”

In his speech, the Demon King believed he was the righteous side, and the people of this world were obstacles that needed to be subdued entirely.

If they don’t submit, let them die.

The Four Heavenly Kings under the Demon King all acted according to his ideology.

Unfortunately, due to the previous Demon King’s misguidance, three of his Four Heavenly Kings fell one after another under the hero’s sharp blade.

The martial force among the Four Heavenly Kings, Goblin God of War, seeing the tides turn, pretended to be defeated and sneaked away, lying low.

After more than a year of prolonged battle, the hero finally with his companions broke into Demon King City.

They joined forces and stabbed the Demon King with the Holy Sword, sank Demon King City, and closed the Gate of Demon World.

The world ushered in peace.

Hero Lox, who stopped the Demon King’s invasion, and his companions naturally became heroes, praised through generations.

Up to this point, Lox was a completely positive man without any blemishes, admired by countless people.

Could it be that Lox built those underground mazes to truly train the next generation of heroes in preparation for the next Demon King descent?

Yang Yu faintly felt it wasn’t that simple.

Because until now, Hero Lox never mentioned anything about pages.

Yang Yu wanted to continue to follow Hero Lox’s footsteps, to see if there would be anything to transform him later.

But as he gradually parted ways with his companions, Hero Lox began to fade from the historical stage.

The turning point in history occurred at a Dragon God Conference, where the hero entered the finals with a dominating posture, and everyone believed the hero would take the final championship.

However, looking at his opponent’s relentless determination, Lox seemed to see his former self, and his heart was moved with compassion.

Clearly possessing overwhelming strength, he instead behaved like a teacher, tirelessly imparting his knowledge to others.

Seeing the opponent fully grasp the knowledge he had taught, Lox gave a knowing smile and jumped off the battle stage himself, allowing the young contestant to achieve ultimate victory.

Amid the astonished voices of the crowd, Lox convinced all the spectators to applaud both him and the new generation.

After that match, Lox announced he would no longer act casually.

This world belongs to more young men and women who possess a heart of justice like him, and they should have a greater stage to perform.

Lox said it, and he did it, genuinely providing more opportunities to the young.

Whenever someone asked him for help, he always recommended young people who had achieved some success.

The giant dragons’ perspective gradually shifted away from Lox, and images about him became increasingly scarce.

As in times of peace, the dragons focused their cameras on major cities and their surroundings, focusing on other emerging stars.

Later, images of Hero Lox completely disappeared.

According to some discussions, Lox secluded himself in order to avoid always being compared to newcomers.

Besides Lox himself, perhaps no one knows where he is.

Shortly after Lox’s seclusion, a civil war erupted among humans.

Due to the Demon King’s invasion, many regions or countries became colonies of the Demon Clan, and after the Demon King’s defeat and Demon Clan’s withdrawal, those lands fell into chaos and became unclaimed territories.

In the five years after the hero defeated the Demon King, various countries joined forces to clear the Demon Clan remnants in those areas.

But this was just on the surface.

In reality, the countries forming the Demon King Crusader Coalition started to compete silently, thinking about how to incorporate those fertile lands into their territories.

Because of the hero’s reputation, the countries refrained from tearing each other apart openly and instead prioritized searching for and dealing with the Demon Clan remnants.

After the hero’s retirement, the countries gradually lost restraint, madly testing each other’s limits.

Only three years after Lox’s seclusion, a massive conflict erupted among human countries, gradually escalating into total war.
