Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

The news of the magician hitting the barrier quickly reached Yang Yu’s ears.

Summoning Hualan and Bai Jin, Yang Yu headed to the cave entrance to organize an exploration.

A stream of blue ghost little fish darted into the bottomless cave, followed closely by a powerful shark demon beast spirit body to provide protection.

Hualan closed her eyes and attached her consciousness to the shark spirit body, sinking into the depths of the cave along with the released spirit.

Before long, countless powerful and sinister spirit entities appeared in Hualan’s perception and immediately pounced on her controlled spirit.

The shark spirit stirred the darkness vigorously, tearing at the approaching spirit entities with its sharp teeth. However, these dark spirit bodies were formidable, and they instead ripped the protective shark to shreds.

The little fish carrying part of Hualan’s consciousness swam strenuously, but was swallowed whole by the overwhelming number of dark spirit bodies, failing to reach deeper into the darkness.

Hualan shook her head helplessly and explained the situation underground to Yang Yu.

Yang Yu immediately summoned Iyas to cooperate with Bai Jin.

After Yang Yu’s explanation, Iyas followed his instructions, gathering a large amount of holy light in her hand and then pouring it continuously into the cave like flowing water.

Chanting spells swiftly, Bai Jin formed a special magic arrow, following Iyas’s holy light straight into the cave.

The black spirit entities guarding the cave, seeing the arrival of the holy light, couldn’t avoid it and burrowed into the nearby ground.

Bai Jin’s magic arrow swiftly reached the end of the cave, colliding with the wide barrier.

The magic arrow instantly collapsed, transforming into countless magic power, spreading across the barrier and disappearing in an instant.

In just a moment, Bai Jin collected a lot of useful information.

Raising her hand, Bai Jin used magic to create a palm-sized small barrier, simulating the entire process of her magic spreading.

”Here... indeed hides an extremely large barrier...

To maintain the stability of a large barrier, generally, most barriers are set to be spherical or semi-spherical.

From the spread path of magic power, the barrier used by the Curse Sect should be a complete spherical barrier.

Although a different barrier shape cannot be completely ruled out, I believe...

The Curse Sect should also consider the possibility of being discovered, their barrier was virtually unscathed by the super large magic...

If it were another barrier shape, it probably wouldn’t have such a high resistance.”

Through the model, Yang Yu knew where Bai Jin’s magic might have hit on the Curse Sect’s barrier and saw the spread trajectory of Bai Jin’s magic.

”If it’s truly as you say, the barrier is spherical or semi-spherical.

Dropping directly from the current cave might fall into their city’s airspace, making us a target.

A big hole should be blasted in these directions...”

Looking briefly at the setting sun in the west and the night’s sky, Yang Yu made a careful decision on the surprise attack location:

”Bai Jin, use the [Fairy’s Magic Stone], how long would it take to blast out a tunnel wider than ten meters at this location?”

Sensing the weakened magic around, Bai Jin replied, ”Gathering all the magic here, plus the [Fairy’s Magic Stone], fused at one point, concentrated blasting, might take thirty to forty minutes to create a conforming channel.”

”Then get started right away!

A broad path is essential to attack in.

Be cautious not to collapse the mountain.

They’ll react quickly once they learn of our actions.

I’ll arrange for people to protect your safety, focus on your task without any worries.”

Bai Jin nodded, flew into the air, took out the [Fairy’s Magic Stone], and began chanting super large magic swiftly.

Raising her magic wand, huge arrays rapidly unfolded in the sky, absorbing thin air magic at unimaginable speed.

Other magicians, under Yang Yu’s direction, stopped what they were doing and returned magic to the surroundings.

Following Yang Yu’s instructions, they stayed beside Bai Jin for protection.

Yang Yu rapidly returned to the troops, arranging follow-up surprise attack matters, and conducted another operation briefing for those present to maintain morale.

With magic in the air nearly gathered, Bai Jin gently pinched the [Fairy’s Magic Stone], transforming the pure magic of the [Fairy’s Magic Stone] for her own use.

Countless magic filled the array Bai Jin weaved, the white array emitted light, and Bai Jin in the sky appeared as a bright pearl in the dark night.

Numerous in the crusade troops raised their heads, greatly shocked; perhaps nobody in Yang Yu’s group was simple, no wonder they could become an S-Class adventure group at such a young age.

Checking her magic repeatedly, confirming no issues, Bai Jin temporarily halted her super large magic, extracting several arrays and aiming at the marked drilling point by Yang Yu’s assigned personnel.

A slender beam of light darted out from the array, piercing a hand-width tunnel at the center of the mark, evaporating the soil and rocks along the way, quickly reaching the barrier.

The position and spread pattern of magic power on the barrier matched closely with their projection, Bai Jin swung her magic wand aiming all arrays at the marked point.

Magic was gathered, and suddenly, a massive white beam shot out from Bai Jin’s array.

Near the mountains, three arrays from small to large emerged from the marked point, Bai Jin’s magic was compressed into a concentrated pure white beam by these arrays.

The pure white beam pierced into the mountain in the blink of an eye.

The mountain made no lamentation, no tremors occurred, except for the bright beam illuminating everything around, nothing seemed to change.

The pure white beam quietly tapered off, revealing a massive tunnel before everyone’s eyes.

Bai Jin’s magic ended, returning magic to the surroundings.

Several magicians could sense that after Bai Jin used such powerful magic, rather than depleting as before, the magic around became more abundant in fact.

No one explored the sudden richness of surrounding magic, all eyes were directed at the path Bai Jin had crafted.

Through this tunnel lay the Curse Sect’s lair.

Although it was said this mission was vital, many present hadn’t actually seen the Curse Sect and were unaware of its strength, leaving some uneasy.

Though Yang Yu spoke of the Curse Sect’s prowess in the pre-battle briefing, it hadn’t entirely dispelled the unease and tension in some.

”It’d be nice to have a practice session...

If Curse Sect members attack, boosting confidence would be great.”

Just as someone had that thought, suddenly, a mellow wolf howl echoed from the mountaintop.
