Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Lutrola Doron turned back with a smile, her fingers lightly tracing the sky. Four light spheres shot from her fingertips, flying toward Cide Doren.

With the flapping of Cide Doren’s wings, the four light spheres transformed into four screens, beginning to display the situations on other battlefields to the Dragon God’s Might.

Glantham’s gaze quickly skimmed over the four screens, as one gruesome scene after another unfolded before their eyes.

The other expeditionary teams had long fallen into traps, trapped by Lutrola Doron’s offspring, with the number of deaths climbing at an unimaginably rapid pace.

”I’m waiting for your good news. I wish you to quickly deal with my lovely children, then come to find me. Goodbye.”

Lutrola Doron said mockingly, eyes filled with laughter, before she walked further into the island.

Luo Bei wanted to chase after her but was grabbed by Gushan’s shoulder. The two looked up at Cide Doren circling high in the sky.

Without dealing with Cide Doren, trying to catch up to the distant Lutrola Doron would undoubtedly be a fool’s dream.

Moreover, if Lutrola Doron were to be provoked, she might join the battlefield, complicating the situation further.

Under Gushan’s persuasion, Luo Bei could only watch helplessly as Lutrola Doron left.

To ensure her own safety, Lutrola Doron kept moving between human society and this island.

The adventurer’s guild was a place she often visited; how could she not know about the dragon’s task to subjugate the Evil Dragon, or see the summoning order of the Dragon God’s Might?

As Lutrola Doron had anticipated, because of the Raging Dream’s unauthorized entry, her whereabouts were revealed; it was only a matter of time before adventurers came after her.

Originally, Lutrola Doron planned to relocate her offspring, but on second thought, this was a rare opportunity for real combat.

Since coming to this island, the only opponents her children could face were their siblings.

Although it was possible to pass down combat memories to offspring through magic, watching images and engaging in real combat were two different things. Lutrola Doron had never heard of geniuses who could completely replicate other people’s combat techniques by merely looking at a Memory Crystal.

To avoid the awkward situation of being skilled in internal conflicts but inept in external battles, Lutrola Doron temporarily decided to let her nurtured offspring seize this opportunity for real combat practice.

Lutrola Doron was not worried about the safety of her offspring; their strength had long surpassed that of ordinary S-Class adventurers. Relying on the unique talents of the giant dragon race, even a normal S-Class adventure group was not their match.

If they were overpowered or suppressed, it would just show that they had not mastered their skills well.

Even if their skills were lacking, Lutrola Doron had left some room for error for her offspring.

If they failed, as long as they could escape capture, they were still her excellent offspring.

Lutrola Doron had long made ample preparations on the island, with retreat measures prepared perfectly.

Therefore, Lutrola Doron appeared to be extremely composed, staying on the island with the mindset of seeing how far her nurtured offspring could go.

According to Hero Lux, as long as a certain level of strength wasn’t shown, the giant dragons would choose to stand by.

Now, Lutrola Doron no longer feared appearing within the giant dragon’s sight.

In case of any eventuality, she could still escape using the key left by Lux.

Just as the battle on the island reached a fierce intensity, Yang Yu and his companions were speeding through the ocean on He Meng, transformed into an underwater rocket, advancing at full speed.

Midway, Bai Jin received a contact from Jiao Xi.

Jiao Xi hoped that Yang Yu, who was rushing to the island, could come to their aid as soon as possible. She informed Yang Yu of the current situation of Island Drifting and Blala Doron’s abilities.

But before Jiao Xi could finish speaking, the image on Bai Jin’s Crystal Ball began to distort, as if disrupted by something.

Yang Yu asked Bai Jin to try contacting Jiao Xi, but no matter how Bai Jin tried, she couldn’t reach Jiao Xi again.

Looking at the urgent rescue task that suddenly popped up on the task panel, Yang Yu fell into deep thought.

The current underwater rocket was not fast enough; perhaps by the time Yang Yu and the others reached the island, it would be too late, like the expression ”the daylilies would be cold,” ready for a feast.

This task could be like the one to rescue the Holy Maiden, a race against time.

If they lost the race, they might gain nothing and instead put themselves and their team in danger.

But...

If he didn’t make the effort and the Dragon God’s Might perished, it would be a significant blow to the morale of this world.

Yang Yu stopped hesitating, he immediately instructed He Meng to ascend, with half the body above water and half underwater, both parts streamlined.

He Meng’s underwater part continued using the Water Flow Propeller, but Yang Yu asked He Meng to create a replacement module, exhausting one batch of Water Flow Propellers and discarding them.

Bai Jin stopped replenishing the Magic Power for the underwater propeller and, instead, leaned inside He Meng, extending the Magic Wand out towards the tail end of He Meng that surfaced, continuously casting Wind Attribute Magic to accelerate—any speed increase counted.

Under Yang Yu’s command, the rocket transformed by He Meng upgraded its speed another notch.

It’s just unclear if the people on the island can hold out until Yang Yu and the others arrive for rescue.

Because half of He Meng’s body was above sea level, Yang Yu and the others could see the ocean scenery through He Meng’s semi-transparent body.

Everything on the ocean flashed by in an instant before Yang Yu and his companions.

With the Water Flow Propeller and Bai Jin’s Wind Attribute Magic, He Meng moved at such a fast pace that it began to exhibit signs of fatigue, and the Blood Volume started to gradually decrease. Fortunately, there was Iyas, continuously restoring He Meng’s Status, preventing He Meng from reverting mid-way.

After roughly twenty minutes, Iyas spotted an island shrouded in dark clouds on the horizon; a few seconds later, Bai Jin noticed her Wind Attribute Magic seemed to be disrupted by something, its power waning.

Due to this interference, the rocket He Meng transformed into gradually slowed down, but it still maintained a high speed.

After a while, that dark-cloud-covered island became clearly visible to Yang Yu and the others.

Luo Luosi widened his eyes in disbelief, ”How can it be so fast? It officially decided to set off from there, and it took less than an hour to get here?”

”Don’t be surprised. We used every trick we had to get here quickly. Bai Jin and the others’ situation is dire, and we’ll need to adjust after landing to fight.”

As soon as Yang Yu finished speaking, He Meng suddenly felt a shadow surge from the sea beneath.

Due to their high speed, when faced with the sudden appearance of the shadow, He Meng couldn’t dodge in time or report, diving head-on into the shadow’s embrace, stirring up layers of enormous waves.
