Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Amidst the captivating music, Yang Yu looked up, gazing towards the darkening sea.

The reflection on the glass in front of Yang Yu showed his somewhat worried eyes.

The southern hemisphere had already entered November, and in just over a month, history would turn a new page.

The Demon King would arrive in this world the following year.

If this Demon King was as powerful as the one in the time of Lux, it would be difficult for Yang Yu’s current team to win, with even the risk of total annihilation...

Yang Yu did have the option to take his companions and find a safe place to live out their lives, but in many games, escape equates to waiting for death.

Rather than placing his life in the hands of those he couldn’t trust, it was better to firmly hold it in his own hands.

Therefore, Yang Yu had to move forward.

Time flew by, and the broadcast sounded once more:

”Please take your seats and hold on, as it is time to set sail.

We are now preparing to close the hatches; the journey may be a bit bumpy at first, and we ask for your understanding.”

After the broadcast ended completely, Yang Yu heard the sound of something sealing completely, and bright lights gradually moved away from them.

The platform carrying the submarine gradually descended, traveling down through the metal passageway.

The metal hatch above them sealed completely, temporarily blocking out all the city lights.

Along the metal passageway’s edge, downward-pointing green arrows flickered, spraying a lot of seawater all around them.

The submarine descended to the very bottom, sinking into the gathered icy water.

The flashing arrows stopped suddenly, and another hatch closed above Yang Yu and his companions, sealing them in.

All around was silence and darkness; suddenly, one green arrow after another appeared again, this time pointing right instead of down.

Regaining their bearings, the submarine silently started to follow these green arrows.

The submarine first kept moving right, and upon seeing upward arrows, it slowly began to ascend.

After a while, lights appeared above them again, and they suddenly found themselves on the outskirts of Reflection City.

Through the thick glass, Yang Yu and his companions could take in the breathtaking night view of Reflection City, appreciating its unparalleled beauty.

At that moment, Reflection City was like a pearl underwater, a dazzling beacon of civilization.

The submarine moved slowly, gradually drifting away from Reflection City, which in their eyes shrank to a doughnut, and then to a speck of light.

The brief spectacle faded, and experienced tourists left one by one; until the next morning, there would be nothing much to see here.

The submarine moved forward slowly, so slowly that Iyas wondered if they had boarded the wrong transportation.

However, this was normal.

Not officially on the current yet, the submarine would continue leisurely, and its speed would only grow exponentially upon hitting the ocean flows.

Leaving Reflection City, entering the current didn’t take long; about an hour, and Iyas noticed the submarine’s speed had noticeably increased several levels.

Fish swimming by flashed briefly under the lights, which finally set Iyas at ease.

To completely ride the current, the submarine descended dozens of meters, with the exterior become pitch black, as if any light would vanish in this darkness forever.

The viewing area offered fantastic views during the day, but at night only the sea’s glowing lights helped discern the position of some Sea-dwelling Species.

With nothing to see, the viewing area became a place for chatting and playing; everyone left there was thinking about how to spend this time before sleeping.

Yang Yu had long decided how to make use of this time; since wearing the bracelet forbade real battles, he’d use it to teach Bai Jin and the others some theory.

Before officially beginning the lecture, Yang Yu asked everyone present about their condition; if tired, they could choose to return and rest…

But in the end, everyone chose to stay.

Having been by Yang Yu’s side for so long, they had noticed his recent worry.

For someone who had always turned the tide, it wasn’t easy to always create a stage for doing so.

With his companions’ affirmative responses, Yang Yu focused his attention on Luo Luosi, who was a member of the Sea-dwelling Species and an S-Class adventurer; explaining underwater combat wouldn’t do without her.

Luo Luosi furrowed her brows helplessly, reaching behind to feel for something, and after a while, she brought her hand back out.

Propping her chin, Luo Luosi half-reclined inside a shell, explaining the key points of underwater combat to Yang Yu.

Luo Luosi didn’t mind a Yang Yu serious about teaching his team; looking at him, she seemed to see her past self in the S-Class adventure group she was part of.

Though she didn’t know what kind of enemies Yang Yu was facing, doing her part for him couldn’t hurt.

Luo Luosi had lived for decades, frequenting different seas, fully familiar with the characteristics of various Sea-dwelling Species; her explanations on underwater combat were highly efficient.

Until the broadcast announced it was time for sleeping, Yang Yu led his companions back to their rooms to rest, allowing them to fully digest the knowledge gained today.

In bed, Yang Yu couldn’t fall asleep, so he opened the panel and found the two remaining Fusion Cards.

With the giant dragon species essence backing him, Yang Yu no longer had to worry about level cap issues.

Now using other Racial Essences would only grant attribute values.

This seemed like a nice path to improvement, but acquiring Racial Essence was extremely difficult.

For a race, Racial Essence was crucial; without good relations, gaining its use was tough.

Besides, a significant improvement required plenty of Racial Essence.

Yang Yu wasn’t bold enough to use up all of a race’s Racial Essence in one go.

As for forcibly taking it, that was just a thought.

Having painstakingly established an excellent image, Yang Yu didn’t want to ruin his reputation on a whim.

Therefore, Yang Yu decided not to deliberately seek out Racial Essences but to choose more efficient ways to enhance himself instead.

Having made this decision left nothing more to consider.

Opening the items tab, Yang Yu’s gaze lingered on the two cards.

On each card were two little figures, stretching their bodies and smiling eerily, circling each other’s feet.

Without further ado, Yang Yu once again activated the Magic Card Fusion.

Behind Yang Yu’s race, besides ’Human,’ all other races became icons listed before him.

To fuse the two races within his body, he only needed to select and click on ’fusion.’

It’s important to note that the fusion had a primary and secondary distinction, and the combined race material could only be used once.

The last time Yang Yu used up the icons for the Blazing Fire Clan and the Plant Clan, those two couldn’t be used again, of course.

This time, Yang Yu first opened the giant dragon icon to see what other races might fuse with it.

As a result, upon opening the giant dragon’s fusion list, only giant dragons appeared in a uniform array.

Opening the fusion list for other races, with giant dragons, still only giant dragons appeared.

Giant dragons seemed like infinity, an infinity multiplied by any number remains infinity.
