Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

The heavy Laplace, along with Gao Yuanyi’s arm, smashed heavily into the snow, creating a deep pit.

Unexpectedly, not a drop of blood flowed from Gao Yuanyi’s cut wound.

The Demon King, while cutting with the Magic Sword, also used magic to cauterize Gao Yuanyi’s wound.

Even if Gao Yuanyi picked up his arm, trying to reattach it using Potions or Healing, it wouldn’t be an easy task.

Shifting his gaze with difficulty from the ruined chariot, Gao Yuanyi gritted his teeth, the Ghost Horn on his forehead rapidly growing, his eyes emitting a terrifying red light, with a glint of tears at the corners.

By now, he no longer wanted to run away.

After all, desperately fleeing, desperately fleeing, would only be like a zebra besieged by lions, no matter how hard he tried, ultimately unable to escape the lion’s grasp.

Since that’s the case, it’s better to use all his strength to resist.

This zebra, even if he must die, wants to kick out a few of the lion’s sharp teeth.

Vast cyan Magic Power erupted from Gao Yuanyi, his feet bursting with astonishing Speed, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the Demon King, throwing a punch at the Demon King’s face.

However, the Demon King’s position shifted, moving five steps out of nowhere, easily dodging Gao Yuanyi’s punch.

”Magic is indeed powerful.

As long as there is enough Magic Power, one can easily use it to dodge like this.

Those who made this must be very skilled.”

Wielding the Magic Sword, a dazzling stream of light flashed, and the Demon King effortlessly severed Gao Yuanyi’s legs.

Gao Yuanyi fell heavily to the ground, splattered with the muddy ground melted nearby, the blood gushing from his wounds dyeing the still partly frozen ice shards red.

Gao Yuanyi widened his eyes in disbelief. Why, even though I was prepared, was I still so easily cut down? What exactly happened!

The Demon King spoke again, his voice devoid of emotion: ”Your expression earlier was commendable, but often, emotions change nothing and solve no issues.

This is the gap in our strength.

If you had investigated more, you would know that a Demon King inheriting the Devil King’s Power is invincible within the Demon World.

However, I believe even if you had researched, you would probably think that all those demons unable to overthrow the Demon King are merely incompetent.

Such arrogant and disrespectful behavior would still lead to an attack like today.”

The Demon King stepped forward, his heavy steps crunching the broken ice underfoot.

The Demon King stood before Gao Yuanyi, purple light beneath his helmet gazing down at him,

”This is the price of your defiance.

With such abundant Magic Power, how to deal with you is a matter of ease for me.

Choose, how do you plan to die?

I hold some interest in what you possess, in the abilities the goddess granted you...

The object you hold can quantify everyone’s abilities, thus determining an individual’s strength.

Tell me, how do I appear in your eyes now?

If you answer me, I might let you die a little more painlessly.”

Gao Yuanyi forced down the pain from beneath, trying to summon back his dissipating spirit.

He still had one movable hand...

As long as one hand could move, there was still a chance for a counterattack.

Gao Yuanyi’s hand firmly grasped the mix of ice and dirt nearby, trying to adjust his position to smash the filth into the Demon King Helmet’s gaps.

But at that moment, a sharp pain shot through his shoulder, making him release his grip.

A Magic Arrow the thickness of an arm pierced through his shoulder, pinning him to the ground. Following that, several smaller Magic Arrows crisscrossed to pin his already detached arm.

At some unknown point, countless Sharp Magic Arrows appeared above Gao Yuanyi.

With just a flick of the Demon King’s finger, these densely packed Magic Arrows would all rain down, turning the immobile and defenseless Gao Yuanyi into a porcupine.

Gao Yuanyi looked up, the Ice Moon Snow Peak was once again shrouded with dark clouds, blocking out much of the sunlight. The massive form of the Demon King obscured the last remaining ray of sunlight.

Massive Magic Power continuously poured from the Demon King, with surrounding Magic Power rushing wildly toward him like madness.

Gao Yuanyi did not attempt to control the System, which displayed all the Demon King’s attributes.

The numbers on the Demon King’s panel were not what Gao Yuanyi had once seen; they constantly fluctuated, rapidly ascending.

Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands...

In no time, all attributes on the Demon King’s panel had exceeded ten thousand, and the numbers showed no sign of stopping, still climbing continuously.

”Why... can it grow without limit?”

Gao Yuanyi felt a despair akin to death, knowing that what he saw on the Demon King’s panel was not the true strength. Even knowing beforehand about the Demon King Armor’s information didn’t make a difference.

Demon King, Demon King, truly the King of the Demon World.

The Demon King refers not to the king ruling the Demon Clan, but... the King capable of commanding all Magic Power unconditionally.

”A good answer.” The Demon King’s voice and its lack of warmth, as the wristband that had just slipped off returned to his wrist. The previously increasing numbers abruptly halted and quickly receded, ”If in another world, the full Devil King’s Power can still be used, past Demon Kings would not have struggled so much.

The reason I wear this is merely to adapt early to the state over there.

Catching a fish like you was indeed unexpected.

Unintentionally, I’ve said some needless words, wasting some time. If I don’t hurry, I might miss the sacrificial ceremony.

So, farewell, Angel Envoy of the goddess.”

The Demon King waved his hand, all the Magic Arrows fused into a Long Spear, unhesitatingly piercing through Gao Yuanyi’s heart.

Gao Yuanyi’s eyes widened, with half of his blood instantly turning red, rapidly vanishing, the numbers representing Blood Volume in the blood gauge quickly dropping to zero.

The Demon King moved without any sunlight illuminating Gao Yuanyi’s face, while the sky was covered only with somber snow clouds.

Picking up the fallen Laplace of Gao Yuanyi, the Demon King used magic to char all biological parts of the arm, storing it in a box, which was tossed into the sky, flying directly toward the Ice Moon Snow Peak’s base.

This hard-earned Divine Artifact was directly rewarded by the Demon King to his reliable subordinate, also serving as a caution to avoid them recklessly intruding on this Ice Moon Snow Peak.

With a snap of his fingers, the expanding gray Barrier quickly retracted, all returning to calm, the Demon King slowly walked towards the peak of the Ice Moon Snow Peak.

The remaining mess would be tidied up by the wind and snow.
