Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Insert the [Dark Breaking Blade] into Lola Belfigol’s thick root, using the strength boost from [Breaking Cauldrons and Sinking Boats], Yang Yu ran around the thick root once, effortlessly slicing through one of Lola Belfigol’s thick roots.

Lola Belfigol’s recovery speed decreased slightly.

Yang Yu constantly repeated the same trick, cutting one spread root after another.

The roots Lola Belfigol used to draw strength from the earth were severed one by one by Yang Yu, and the recovery ability markedly decreased.

Facing Yang Yu’s attack, how could Lola Belfigol wait passively for death?

Lola Belfigol, while enduring the expeditionary team’s firepower, sensed Yang Yu’s position through the vibrations from the earth, and then flower buds opened on Yang Yu’s inevitable path.

Each flower bud carried a fatigue-inducing magic, and once contaminated, the magic on the flower bud would greatly reduce the attributes of those hit.

Every time a [Fatigue Seed] was released, Lola Belfigol would immediately lose 1% of its maximum life value and 1% of its maximum magic power.

This cost was almost nonexistent for the recovering Lola Belfigol.

Given time, Lola Belfigol could even fill any size flower bed with [Fatigue Seeds].

Because the influence range of [Fatigue Seeds] is not large, this skill is more suitable for use as a trap.

Yang Yu, now dancing frantically below, Lola Belfigol used this skill, which happened to seal Yang Yu’s position.

Seeing clusters of peculiar flower buds slowly blooming, Yang Yu covered his mouth and nose with a mask to avoid the flower buds and continued cutting Lola Belfigol’s thick roots, extremely cautious.

Once the flower buds were placed, countless small tendrils grew from the ground and the surrounding large vines, intertwined and woven into vine soldiers with claw-like forms, attacking Yang Yu, forcing him onto [Fatigue Seeds].

[Fatigue Seeds] stopped growing the moment the vine soldiers appeared. Most people would consider [Fatigue Seeds] a precursor to the appearance of Vine People, thus relaxing their vigilance and stepping on them, or ignoring the possibility of subsequent [Fatigue Seeds] appearing.

However, Yang Yu never relaxed his vigilance from beginning to end.

Yang Yu was surrounded by several Vine People, first showing weakness and retreating. Lola Belfigol quickly arranged several [Fatigue Seeds] behind Yang Yu.

Seeing Lola Belfigol place [Fatigue Seeds] behind him, Yang Yu suddenly burst forth with strength, ripping the Vine People apart, opening a gap, and quickly cutting a root.

Yang Yu continued to use strategy, luring Lola Belfigol to continually release [Fatigue Seeds], consuming its life value and magic power.

Lola Belfigol’s plot did not succeed; instead, it fell into Yang Yu’s trap, entering Yang Yu’s rhythm.

After several attempts, Lola Belfigol finally realized that Yang Yu might know the skill she was using.

So, she no longer insisted on using [Fatigue Seeds] to reduce Yang Yu’s attributes, but instead precisely controlled each Vine Person, attacking Yang Yu with vine after vine, forcing Yang Yu to leave her underside.

Unfortunately, Lola Belfigol still underestimated Yang Yu.

Even with the ground covered in [Fatigue Seeds] and Vine People, Yang Yu had a way to escape and continue his task.

Using the severed roots as jumping platforms, with [Climbing] sticking to each root, Yang Yu searched for a narrow space to avoid amidst the shaking roots, completing dodges time and again.

Realizing this approach wouldn’t work, Lola Belfigol began pulling out root systems; several gathered together, forming a spiral.

This way, even if Yang Yu cuts around her root, he can’t completely sever it, and she can quickly restore her root systems.

Lola Belfigol quickly gathered the vines above Yang Yu, so when she inserts the roots, she can also press the weight of the vines onto Yang Yu, suffocating him to death.

However...

For Yang Yu, the act of Lola Belfigol pulling out part of the root systems and reducing a large amount of recovery meant his goal was achieved.

No longer obsessed with the roots, Yang Yu climbed upward along the massive vines.

The once not so large Lola Belfigol now grew three stories tall by drawing strength from the earth, expanding her vines.

Her upper body, resembling that of a human female, hadn’t changed much, while her lower body formed a massive spherical structure woven from vines.

Even if the vines shook, even if the vine attacks were incessant, a height of three stories was like three hundred stories to Yang Yu, and he did not stop climbing upward.

Seeing Yang Yu, and Lola Belfigol’s wound recovery slowing, the expeditionary team launched another wave of aggressive attacks.

Iyas pulled the bowstring once more, the light arrow flashed through the air and completely vanished.

The next moment, the light arrow appeared in front of Lola Belfigol, and the attention she had previously paid to Yang Yu caught her off guard as the light arrow pierced her eye.

Black blood flowed from Lola Belfigol’s eyes.

Just as she intended to furiously cast magic in Iyas’ direction, Bai Jin, hovering in mid-air, wove a sharp Ice Spear and shot it at her other eye.

Raising her hand, blackness entwined Lola Belfigol’s arm, and she intercepted Bai Jin’s Ice Spear at the waist, crushing it into fragments.

The fragmented Ice Spear did not disperse into dots of light but instead regrouped in Lola Belfigol’s hand, forming a larger Ice Spear than before.

Returning the favor, Lola Belfigol threw the gigantic Ice Spear at Bai Jin.

With the active [Instant Movement] from [Instantaneous Boots] and the magic [High-speed Circuit], Bai Jin completed a beautiful turn in the air, dodging the Ice Spear Lola Belfigol had thrown.

With a thunderous explosion, the massive Ice Spear Lola Belfigol hurled smashed into the ceiling of the Underground City.

Countless purple currents surged on the Barrier.

Typically, defensive barriers are sturdy on the outside and fragile on the inside; the Curse Sect also set up such a barrier in this Underground City.

The Ice Spear thrown by Lola Belfigol didn’t destroy the barrier but accidentally activated a small part of the barrier’s lighting system.

The dark underground faintly brightened, like stepping into the pre-dawn hours.

The previously unclear scenery gradually gained definition within the expeditionary team’s view.

Some wounds that Lola Belfigol had hidden in the darkness slowly appeared before the expeditionary team.

Seeing the injured and struggling Lola Belfigol, the expeditionary team’s first reaction was: how could she be so weak?
