Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Wang Wu Yidru slightly furrowed his brow. He didn’t expect Yang Yu to exude killing intent in front of so many important people from the very beginning.

The killing intent was incredibly strong, so powerful that it instantly suppressed everyone present.

With the convenience provided by the system, Yang Yu could see the attributes of everyone on site, knowing that no one here was stronger than him.

In the knowledge base of the giant dragon, Yang Yu had reacquainted himself with this world and naturally knew what kind of country the Tren Republic was.

The leaders of the Tren Republic gained their positions through excellent leadership ability, not through strength.

Yang Yu’s current abilities already place him among the top hundred humans, excluding some reclusive old demons; openly, very few could stand against him.

Releasing killing intent was to state this very point.

As for when Yang Yu learned how to release killing intent...

In this world, killing intent counts as a tangible form of magic power. Once one’s abilities reach a certain threshold, with certain emotions, one can summon killing intent, which requires no technical content.

The real technical difficulty lies in how to control one’s emotions during battle, keeping killing intent from showing.

Because killing intent is also a form of magic fluctuation, overly obvious killing intent can be perceived by others.

If killing intent becomes strong enough, the enemy can even deduce a person’s position and actions based on changes in the intent.

Controlling one’s emotions in battle and manipulating killing intent is a profound knowledge.

For example, utilizing the special nature of killing intent as a magical wave fluctuation, someone developed a way to use the killing intent emanating from themselves to sense and suppress the enemy, thereby continuously harming them with the [Killing Intent Wave].

The killing intent from Yang Yu vanished in an instant, and an indescribable feeling of suffocation receded from the room.

All present were influential figures, and without their arrangements, Yang Yu would find it difficult to orchestrate the various forces they led, perhaps even bringing disaster upon himself.

Releasing killing intent to demonstrate his ability and his ”annoyed” attitude was enough.

A bead of cold sweat dripped from the furrowed forehead of Asa Lodrom to his chin, falling to the ground. The host of the Elder Council struck the floor heavily with his cane,

”How dare you...”

Asa Lodrom stopped himself, swallowing his words, and composedly questioned:

”Lord Yang Yu, releasing your killing intent like this is somewhat inappropriate, isn’t it? Are you trying to threaten us?”

Yang Yu relaxed his grip and grinned, ”Sorry, just couldn’t help it. If you went through what I did, you’d probably feel the same.”

Ussiger leaned back in his chair, resting his scepter on himself, looked at Yang Yu and began:

”Allow me to interject, my lord, why are you angry?

And why do you seem so disappointed in our actions?

Upon learning the whereabouts of the Curse Sect, we immediately took action.

Traveling far and wide, we came here, preparing for every aspect of the campaign…”

Yang Yu’s tone was cold, ”But you still haven’t acted, have you?

I can’t see any sign of anxiety on your faces now.

If you truly understood the gravity of the situation, could you sit here so comfortably?”

Ussiger wanted to refute but didn’t know how, only feeling offended:

”And what about you?

Saying such bold words here, do you truly understand the gravity of the situation?

And where is the evidence?”

”Evidence?” Yang Yu retorted: ”Then what evidence do you have to prove this situation isn’t grave?

Is it because you haven’t seen the Curse Sect committing atrocities? Or because you haven’t experienced their strength?

Or perhaps, do you believe that even the smallest light can dispel darkness, that the Curse Sect or demons are insignificant to you?”

Faced with Yang Yu’s counter-questioning, Ussiger felt uncomfortable at heart, ”Your statement is practically saying you’ve seen their evil deeds, and their strength, and believe our light cannot disperse their darkness?”

Bishop Moss stepped forward to say something to Ussiger, but Yang Yu promptly responded:

”Intense light can dispel darkness, but darkness can also swallow up weaker light.

Why does the Curse Sect want to summon demons? Why become the Curse Goddess?

They probably hold the same belief as me.

For the faith they have held for centuries, they’ve hidden for so long, continually expanding their influence.

Because they know that if their darkness is too small, it will be engulfed by your intense light.

Only when they reach a certain point, at which they can barely compete with you, will they stop being cautious and seize greater darkness, ultimately altering the world.

The fact that they’ve acted against your Holy Maiden obviously shows they have considerable confidence, believing they have the strength to contend against you, or have found a way to acquire even stronger darkness.

Am I not making myself clear? There isn’t much time left.

They’ve never slipped up before, and now, at last, there’s some trace of them, yet they don’t realize we’ve acquired some intel.

The best time for attack is right in front of you, and yet you hesitate.

If I’m not wrong, word of the Goddess Sect’s actions must’ve spread far and wide already?

Perhaps, the best chance for an attack has been lost.”

Bishop Moss said: ”Our current actions have been kept confidential from the outside. There shouldn’t be.....”

”Don’t underestimate their methods. Can you guarantee that your church is not being monitored?”

”Why are you so sure?” No one had ever dared to speak to the Goddess Sect like that; Ussiger angrily said, ”You clearly...”

Wang Wu Yidru coughed violently, stopping Ussiger from continuing, revealing an unpleasant expression.

”I’m sorry, I’ve been feeling under the weather because of the Curse Sect affairs lately.”

After a simple explanation for the cough, Wang Wu Yidru smiled and said to Ussiger:

”Some of Lord Yang Yu’s words might seem confusing or offensive to you... I hope you can forgive him.

However, regarding the Curse Sect, I believe nobody has more authority to speak than he does.

He defeated the Curse Sect disciple and had us perform summoning to glimpse into that disciple’s memory, which led to our current understanding of the Curse Sect’s whereabouts.

The Curse Sect has been entangled with them for a long time.

Yang Yu and his adventuring party have had several encounters and clashes with the Curse Sect.

These insights are based on his interactions with the Curse Sect and have some reference value.”

Ussiger remained expressionless, feeling doubtful. At this point, Bishop Moss finally reached her side, whispering in her ear:

”Lady Ussiger... The person before you is the wolf-riding youth who sought our help in purifying the sealing of the demonic magic wand this spring.”
