Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

The violent energy gradually subsided. The walls and ceiling of the room were bombarded with severe energy, and pieces of stone smashed onto the floor, shattering and forming various holes one by one as the spreading poison fog dissipated into the surroundings, becoming thinner and thinner.

Looking ahead, Count Blood reached out his hand, the tips of his long hand armor emitting a ruby-like radiant glow, continuously supplying him with recovery.

Being able to absorb Yang Yu’s life force and magic through the claws he held indicated that Yang Yu had already been poisoned by him.

Yang Yu’s slime armor faded away, poisoned, everything went according to Count Blood’s expectations, yet Count Blood couldn’t be pleased.

Everything that just happened was vivid in Count Blood’s memory.

Count Blood had a premonition that Yang Yu intentionally stepped into the trap; everything was within his expectations, even if he was poisoned by the toxic fog, he surely had a way to neutralize it.

As Count Blood anticipated, the action of absorbing magic power and life force with the hand armor abruptly stopped; Yang Yu’s figure resurfaced in Count Blood’s view.

Beneath the slime armor, Yang Yu wore a smile, showing no sign of poisoning.

Yang Yu had foreseen what would happen once stepping into Count Blood’s trap and had prepared well beforehand.

Whether it was having Iyas replenish his blood volume or having Helot capture the fog to pre-make antidote, all provided him with ample confidence in stepping into Count Blood’s magic.

Yang Yu mockingly said, ”Dear Count, I thought your toxin would be formidable, but I didn’t expect it to be so clumsy. Do you intend to reserve the deadliest toxin for the Demon King and believe that this clumsy toxin could defeat me?”

Count Blood glared at Yang Yu angrily, ”You call me clumsy, if you’re capable then remove the slime armor and come fight me in the poison fog.”

”This concerns life and death; only a fool would do as you say.”

”Hahaha... indeed.” Count Blood couldn’t help but laugh at himself, ”I never thought, I’ve once again been fooled by you. You can see my magic power consumption, right?

You indeed possess an extraordinary ability.

You knew... no, from the moment you entered this room, your goal was to deplete my magic power...

I don’t know how you did it. You must be basing my location mainly on the magic power I consume, right?”

”Who knows?” Yang Yu shrugged, taking out a small pack of materials from the system and tossing it toward Count Blood, ”I used this thing to neutralize your toxin; I’m quite intrigued by why it can neutralize your toxin. If you could tell me the principle behind this thing neutralizing the toxin, I might tell you how I discerned your position in the poisonous fog.”

Five scarlet trails streaked across the air, and the small package containing various materials was split in two, scattering materials.

Count Blood completely lost his previous graceful demeanor, his eyes filled with killing intent:

”It doesn’t matter what that thing is!

I should have been cautious the moment Wansheng Country’s King neutralized the toxin.

I won’t be deceived again.

What you’re doing now is merely buying time for that fellow.

Knowing this makes it easier.

You might have thought of many things, but absolutely not this one!”

Floating mid-air, Count Blood injected black magic into his hand armor, fully displaying the unique blood-red glow emitted from the hand armor,

”This weapon, when you were poisoned, absorbed significant amounts of magic power from you.

Overlooking this equipment was your greatest mistake.

The magic power I extracted from you is enough for me to go and kill that isolated companion of yours.

Once I’m finished with her, I’ll come back for you!

Goodbye.”

Having been deceived several times, Count Blood became calm instead, distinguishing between the priorities of the battle.

A series of consecutive black magic explosions created numerous holes, even undamaged walls were filled with countless cracks.

Count Blood only needed to exert a little force to pass through the wall and rush toward the vermin gnawing at his barrier.

Unfortunately, Yang Yu would not simply allow Count Blood to escape.

As Count Blood was about to leave, countless thorns obeyed Yang Yu’s command, growing from the wall, and in a blink filling in hole after hole.

Using Wall Climbing, stepping on the thorns, Yang Yu closed in on Count Blood, launching his sword blade.

Unaffected by Yang Yu’s attack, Count Blood remained calm, the effect of Fury Blood on Yang Yu had completely dissipated; as long as the Bat Robe was in play, Yang Yu couldn’t inflict significant damage on him.

And for the thorns blocking him and attacking him, Count Blood naturally had a way to bypass them.

Using the Bat Robe, although unable to utilize attack-type skills or magic, he could use various support skills.

Once again, Count Blood’s entire being transformed into mist, passing through the thorns blocking the holes, penetrating the cracks, reaching the other side of the wall.

Before Count Blood’s mist form could completely solidify, a Holy Light Spear constructed of light was hurled at him, piercing through his body and temporarily pinning him to the ground.

Yang Yu also considered all potential escape routes for Count Blood and communicated through Helot using slime-specific language encryption, silently conveying his instructions to everyone, setting ambushes in the directions where Count Blood might escape.

Yang Yu didn’t expect them to restrain Count Blood, only hoping they could slightly hinder him while preventing any support to him.

As long as they held out until he caught up, they could suppress Count Blood once more, gaining more time for Bai Jin.

Yang Yu had placed Iyas in the position where Count Blood was most likely to escape to the sky.

As Count Blood appeared, Iyas directly unleashed a barrage of Holy Light Skills, achieving momentary suppression and control.

By poisoning Yang Yu, Count Blood regained considerable magic power, unwilling to use his precious magic power on Iyas, intending to rely on the Bat Robe to endure the attacks, engage Iyas at close range, and extract some strength from her.

Unfortunately, Iyas adhered to Yang Yu’s command and maintained a distance from Count Blood, continuously releasing dazzling Holy Light, preventing Count Blood from finding any close-range opportunities to attack.

In desperation, clusters of black magic danced at Count Blood’s fingertips, preparing to blow off Iyas’ slime armor before releasing poison fog to poison her.

Surely not everyone is as tricky as Yang Yu, easily avoiding his attacks?

Count Blood felt confident this time. Unable to handle Yang Yu, he was surely capable of dealing with this small elf?

As the attack approached, Iyas didn’t hesitate to take out the Holy Light Acceleration Stone she had on her and lift it high, releasing a second fortified Holy Light skill.
