Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

[Corpse Collection Coffin] also knew that this situation was too ideal, so, as the initiators, they also made some concessions.

But this concession was far from satisfying the others.

To expedite the deployment to handle the Curse Sect, Wang Wu Yidru tried to explain at the meeting the disaster brought by Demons descending upon the Mortal World, attempting to convince everyone present to not delay the expedition for their own interests.

The problem was, no one present had actually seen a Demon, and their understanding of Demons stopped at various legends.

Some even believed [Corpse Collection Coffin] wanted to quickly defeat the Curse Sect to gain some unknown benefits, exaggerating based on legends.

Someone at the meeting raised doubts, questioning if Demons are truly as strong as legends claim, how could they be summoned by such a small Curse Sect and obey them.

Wang Wu Yidru made a bold assumption that perhaps the Curse Sect people aren’t looking to control Demons but rather hope Demons will control them. They resent this world and plan to use the Demons’ Strength to reshape it and establish new order.

Hearing Wang Wu’s hypothesis shocked everyone present.

Does such an absurd sect really exist in this world?

When faced with counterintuitive or difficult-to-understand things, many people’s first reaction is doubt and suspicion.

Even the high-ranking assembled here are no exception.

There is currently no evidence to prove what [Corpse Collection Coffin] said is true, it could just be another exaggeration.

Can the Curse Sect really summon Demons?

Bishop Ussiger believed they may have found some ritual for summoning Demons.

It is precisely for holding that ritual that the Curse Sect dared to hunt the Holy Maiden, offending the Goddess Sect.

Whether or not the Curse Sect can ultimately summon Demons, the mere act of daring to target the Holy Maiden is already an unforgivable crime worthy of eradication.

Unfortunately, it remains unclear how strong the Curse Sect is.

Although Ussiger agreed to collaborate with [Corpse Collection Coffin] and share a common enemy, she also knows this action carries a certain risk.

However, Ussiger fears not the Demons, but the Curse Sect gathering the populace.

Ussiger knows quite a bit about Demon legends, she thinks Demons might not be as powerful as imagined.

Hero Lux once defeated Demons, and about a year ago, Ussiger encountered someone with a Magic Wand sealing Demons for purification.

According to the bishop conducting the purification at the time, this particular Magic Wand indeed contained a different kind of Darkness, but handling it didn’t take much effort.

The bishop then inquired of the wolf-riding youth who brought the Wand for purification about where he had found it and whether he knew anything.

The wolf-riding youth recounted everything he had experienced, depicting the Demons as formidable, and only timely activation of the Wand sealed the Demons, saving them.

During their journey, there was an attempt by the Curse Sect to snatch the Wand, injuring a girl who accompanied them.

Often, to demonstrate their prowess, people deliberately exaggerate their opponents, but Ussiger tends to believe that to the wolf-riding youth delivering the Wand, Demons indeed seemed unbeatable.

Yet, for the Goddess Sect, it was different.

The goddess eradicated Demons from the world, leading it to brightness and prosperity.

Within the Goddess Sect are various Special Sealing Skills and powerful Holy Light Skills; Holy Light can disperse Darkness, making it an archenemy for Demons.

With confidence, Ussiger even considered letting the Curse Sect summon Demons and then sealing the Demons with her powers in front of the Curse Sect.

This might awaken the populace deceived by the Curse Sect, returning them to the faith of the Goddess Sect.

Ussiger could not ascertain how many irredeemable fanatics exist within the Curse Sect.

Holy Light can combat Demons but cannot deal with those fanatics.

As one of the Goddess Sect’s bishops, Ussiger must not only reclaim the power of the Holy Maiden but also protect the safety of the believers.

The goddess created this world’s greatest deity, and to show gratitude for this blessing, some must fight bravely at the front lines, blocking the fanatics, protecting these divine messengers.

Only by ensuring safety can the Goddess Sect take action to dispel Darkness for Humans.

The meeting lasted for a long time, with no consensus or persuasion among attendees.

After much deliberation, everyone decided to temporarily adjourn to rest and reorganize in their respective rooms.

Leaving the meeting room, the two from [Corpse Collection Coffin] walked along the spacious corridor, unable to voice their grievances.

Returning to their accommodations, Leader Wang Wu Yidru issued a sigh:

”It is even more difficult than imagined. I thought we could organize an attack early on, but as of today, we are still at a standstill.”

Icaro Flo also, somewhat helplessly, grasped his long white beard,

”Though knowing delay is no longer an option, neither can we make further concessions.

Our Spirit Manipulator’s strength depends on the Spiritual Body’s Strength and number, and Darkness will completely consume and destroy the Spiritual Bodies we control, rendering them unrecoverable.

If we invest too much manpower and resources, going all out against the Curse Sect.

When the Demon King descends, we might lose the ability to protect ourselves, vanishing in history like many adventure groups in the war against the Demon King.”

During the Demon King’s descent, it’s the period of most frequent S-Class adventure group replacement.

Many originally active S-Class adventure groups in the world are replaced by new ones emerging like spring mushrooms for various reasons.

[Corpse Collection Coffin] has the function of accepting Spiritual Ability Users, seriously cultivating them and correctly guiding them so they do not go astray.

Icaro Flo couldn’t imagine if [Corpse Collection Coffin] disappeared, how many Spiritual Ability Users would face discrimination and how many might go astray, further triggering discrimination against Spiritual Ability Users...

This repeated cycle forms a vicious cycle.

Icaro Flo wondered if there was ever an organization like theirs amid long history.

If so, whether that organization was troubled by the same issues as they currently are.

Wang Wu also knew what Icaro Flo was thinking and feeling.

Just relying on them to deal with an unknown depth of the Curse Sect is as difficult as ascending to heaven, so they intend to unite with others.

The Goddess Sect and Trent Republic agreed to collaborate, but they weren’t enthusiastic.

This lack of enthusiasm stems from their ignorance of the Curse Sect.

The Curse Sect is rather cunning, and Leader Forget Me desperately tried to explain to those present the importance of this action, yet he couldn’t provide any evidence to prove that everything he said was true.

While there is consensus on the Curse Sect being dangerous, there is no agreement on how dangerous it is, making pushing for joint action quite difficult.

As President Wang Wu worried, Icaro Flo received contact from disciple Hualan...
