Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Feeling indebted to many people, but having come this far, the skill I’ve dreamed of is right in front of me—how can I just give up?

Besides, others have helped investigate, so the debt of gratitude is already owed; why worry about owing a bit more?

Yang Yu smiled and asked,

”Sena, do you really know the Krengris family? Can you tell me how to find them?”

Before Sena could answer, a trace of worry flashed in Wanjing Zhuhua’s eyes as she said,

”Sena, is it okay?”

Stroking her shoulder, Lou, Sena replied, ”It’s been a while since I returned.

The current me is different from the past me.

No matter the blame, I can bear it.”

Seeing Sena in that state, Yang Yu recalled some things and silently opened a notebook.

Yang Yu found the name Krengris in the notes.

Krengris is the surname of Hero Lox’s companion, Yi Zuo. The Krengris family is the one with the Star Eye.

Sena never talked in detail to Yang Yu about her past, only mentioning that she left her family for some reason and became a member of the [Red Blood Rose].

That family is the Krengris family.

Going to that family means there are things Sena must face.

With sympathy for Sena, Yang Yu suggested,

”You don’t need to come along; just tell me the location of that family. With my title as the Dragon God Conference winner, it should be easy to get that skill.”

Sena’s mouth curled with helplessness,

”Perhaps. If I go along, the Family Head might get furious.

...The Family Head’s temper has always been quite odd.

Though I’ve left for several years, I still know the situation there.

We’ll go together.

If any special situation arises, I might be able to offer some advice to help you successfully obtain that skill.”

Wanjing Zhuhua originally wanted to say something, but Gordon threw the copied diary into Storage Magic and said,

”There’s nothing wrong with wanting to reconcile, do it soon.

We’ve entered a new year; we don’t know when the Demon King will descend upon this world.

After the Demon King descends, we don’t know what will happen.

If they hesitate, in a crisis, they might consider saving face and not seek our aid, leading to tragedy.

Sena, I remember you have two sisters; even if you’re not worried about others, you should be concerned about their safety.

Yang Yu mentioned that the Star Eye would be a target for the Demon King. We’re going there as a precaution against unexpected events.”

Being pointed out her inner thoughts by Gordon, Sena didn’t argue, but her eyes turned uncommonly somber,

”Perhaps it’s time for reconciliation.”

After so many years, Sena indeed wanted reconciliation...

But she didn’t know what her long-unseen father would think.

Everything would only be clear after meeting him.

Feeling Sena’s determination, Yang Yu didn’t say more,

”In that case, I’ll trouble you to accompany us for this trip.

If any special situation arises, I’ll adapt accordingly.

Please cooperate.”

Gordon couldn’t help but laugh, ”I never thought, you who were so timid when we met two or three years ago, are now so confident. Looks like I’ve been standing still for too long.”

Wanjing Zhuhua adjusted her glasses, ”You haven’t grown slow either. They’re just exceptional. In times of change, there’s always a few anomalies. Don’t take it to heart.

But who is the true anomaly? We’ll only know after the Gate of Demon World opens.

Hopefully, we can keep our current standing.”

Gordon chuckled in relief, ”That’s true.”

After agreeing with [Red Blood Rose], Yang Yu spoke with Glantham again, arranging the method for exchanging Legendary Equipment.

[Dragon God’s Might]would inform the retiree adventurers at the stronghold to prepare a list, Yang Yu and his team could visit at their convenience, hand over the token they had, and quickly receive the Legendary Equipment they desired.

Glantham repeatedly reminded Yang Yu, if Yang Yu discovered traces of the Goblin Emperor during his travels, to notify them immediately and to never act rashly.

It’d be best to eliminate the Goblin Emperor before the Demon King descends. If the Goblin Emperor allied with the Demon King, the consequences would be disastrous.

Yang Yu nodded in agreement.

Once confirming there was nothing else, [Dragon God’s Might]bid farewell to Yang Yu and [Red Blood Rose]respectively, and continued pursuing the traces of the Evil Dragon.

Yang Yu and his team boarded Lotcar and prepared to head towards the territory of the Krengris family.

At the moment of departure, Bai Jin suddenly sensed a peculiar Magic Fluctuation coming from a very distant place.

This was not Bai Jin’s illusion.

Reaching her level, she could sense Magic Fluctuations that ordinary mages couldn’t.

To know the cause of this Magic Fluctuation, she needed to move towards the direction of the fluctuation and approach its core area.

If initially close to the site of the fluctuation, even a novice magician could sense the anomaly.

Getting even closer...

”Year 417 of the Lox Calendar

March 26

KarloGatt Sea

Today I felt an unprecedented Magic Fluctuation; if my estimation is correct, the magic technique for traveling from another world is slowly activating.

The Demon King seems about to descend.

Affected by this, the surrounding Magic has become somewhat chaotic; we can’t use the Crystal Ball for timely contact, nor can we use Flying Magic.

Now, we can only use this simplest method to transmit what we know.

Hope all can prepare early for the upcoming trials.

I will continue observing everything here, joining forces with other mages to see if we can delay for a few days.

If necessary, we will use all our power to slow their advance.

Artie Roosevelt.

Sincerely.”

Folding the letter and placing it into an envelope, Artie Roosevelt lowered his cowboy hat and quickly walked out of the cabin. Following a rope tied to the railing, he descended onto a small boat, handing the letter to the boatman.

”I leave the rest to you. Quickly deliver our message back.”

The boatman carefully stowed away Artie Roosevelt’s letter, rowing through the sea waves,

”Also, take care of your health.

If the Demon King really descends.

Don’t push yourselves.”

”I understand.” Artie Roosevelt said as he climbed back up the rope, watching the boatman row the small boat into the undulating waves, gradually fading into the distance.

Artie Roosevelt didn’t know the extent of the affected range, only hoping the boatman could soon leave the affected area and use Flying Magic to quickly inform every country of the situation here.
