Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

A new moon hung in the night sky, casting its bright moonlight.

The Hero leaned on the edge of the balcony, listening to the messages from his companions, and learned the situation on the battlefield of Wansheng Republic.

”If he takes any action again, report to me immediately.

Also....”

With his hand on his temple, giving a few brief instructions, Hero Lox cut the communication off.

That man acted faster than expected.

Clearly, he had just visited Serti not long ago, came to see him, and then ran to Wansheng Republic, almost eliminating one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

As of now, he had no intention to uncover the truth.

Perhaps he thought with his current strength, as long as he knocked down the Four Heavenly Kings step by step, he could defeat the Demon King, and it wouldn’t be too late to learn the truth after defeating the Demon King.

Lox had the option to directly tell Yang Yu the truth, but Lox couldn’t predict Yang Yu’s reaction after knowing the truth.

Without sufficient strength, choosing to tell the truth to the Goddess’ Apostle was quite a dangerous option.

Hero Lox could use his identity as a Hero to gain many conveniences.

Lox had heard about Yang Yu’s deeds from various channels.

This time, the Goddess’ Apostle was even more capable than imagined.

In just a few years, he had grown from a nameless soldier to his current state, establishing connections with many countries and facilitating the formation of allied forces.

Lox had no choice but to take Yang Yu seriously.

If he became an enemy, it would be quite dangerous, but if he became an ally, the subsequent plans might be simpler.

Whether Yang Yu was a friend or enemy was still unknown.

In any case, strength was essential.

As long as the strength was enough, any situation afterward could be handled with ease.

This Demon King was no ordinary character either.

Having such an attention-grabbing figure as a distraction might not be a bad thing.

Moving his steps, Lox left the edge of the balcony as Tara, dressed as a Priest, happened to arrive at his door.

Tara intended to knock on the door, and the door opened by itself.

Squinting, Tara cautiously poked her head into the dim room.

Lox turned on the light, illuminating the empty room brightly.

Seeing the Hero standing in front of her, Tara quickly straightened up and spoke:

”Vorquis, the communication with the Church is complete.

They quickly agreed to our request and approved our use of the Teleportation Array to reach the front line.

In the future, if there are any needs, you don’t need to hesitate...

You can ask them for help any time...”

”That’s good.” Lox feigned relief with a bitter smile,

”I initially planned to make some significant achievements before making the request...

Now I can only thicken my face.

Still, I can’t surpass him.

Even though I’m the Hero, he single-handedly did all the things I should have done.

It’s also good this way.

With him around, I won’t be troubled by various matters, and have enough time to improve myself.

Tara, you’ll have to work hard from here on.

Even though he accomplished many things I should have done, and can be said to oversee everything, we must still stay aware of the changes in this world and act if situations suddenly worsens.

Can I trust you to handle the exchange of information with various countries?”

Frowning slightly, Tara reluctantly said: ”I’m a Priest, doing such tasks is somewhat difficult for me.

After all, Holy Light and Magic, these two abilities conflict with each other.

A person skilled in Holy Light often finds it difficult to use Magic well...

I think these things should be handled by Eena!”

”No. It’s up to you.

Eena, after all, is from Serti’s side, and with your understanding of her, you should know how she would choose when many things happen simultaneously.

And Yixuan, she is just an ordinary Hapi and lacks that capability, right?”

Lox placed his hand on Tara’s shoulder.

Not knowing if it was an illusion, Tara felt the man before her was more mature than before, possessing an indescribable charm.

Tara hesitated a few times and eventually agreed to Lox.

Meanwhile.

A man shrouded entirely in a black cloak ignited a campfire outdoors, skinning and deboning the hunted prey, and setting it over the fire to roast.

The branches crackled in the blaze, and succulent wild boar meat oozed fat, filling the air with fragrance.

Manipulating his mechanical limbs, the man removed his mask, revealing a greenish face with two horns, and added a handful of firewood to the fire.

Gao Yuanyi moved his fingers in the air, took out a map, and confirmed his location.

Despite coming to this world in one go, Gao Yuanyi still had no clue on how to overthrow the Demon King.

He didn’t want to be reckless and arrogant like before; he wanted to find a realistic method to defeat the Demon King and then search for a way to resurrect Wei.

This world should have a Hero, perhaps he could join forces with the world’s Hero...

Although the plan to attack the Demon King failed, and he was severed from hand and foot, he at least had confronted the Demon King face to face, proving his strength, and a Hero shouldn’t reject such a power.

The problem was his identity as a member of the Demon Clan posed some trouble.

Additionally...

Gao Yuanyi had wandered in this world for a long time but still found no trace of the Hero’s activity.

Instead... he heard about a prominent figure.

Not only did that person win the Dragon God Conference here, but also resolved the wars of two countries in this world and eliminated the Curse Sect, and was actively engaging on various battlefields...

Most importantly, the name Yang Yu was the same as his frequently gaming friend.

Is it purely coincidental? Or perhaps...

Anyway, only by meeting him in person could he know.

Compared to the elusive Hero, he should be easier to find.

He seemed to be hunting the Four Heavenly Kings.

Before settling the Demon King, starting by settling the Four Heavenly Kings is a correct choice.

[Laplace] was rewarded by the Demon King to the Four Heavenly King known as the Strongest Shield; if he could help him defeat that Four Heavenly King, perhaps he could get back [Laplace].

After confirming his location, Gao Yuanyi decided to first seek out that prominent figure.

Demon King City.

The Deceitful Emperor temporarily halted the construction of the new Teleportation Array and returned to the castle.

[Iron Steel Dragon] Black Diamond Lorne found Ammonval hastily escaping halfway.

During the escape, Ammonval used Potions to recover his status, and upon seeing [Iron Steel Dragon] Black Diamond Lorne, he breathed a sigh of relief.

[Iron Steel Dragon] Black Diamond Lorne did not delve into the entire escape process of Ammonval but immediately reported the matter to the Deceitful Emperor, brought Ammonval back to Demon King City, and informed the Demon King of the whole story.

On the throne, the Deceitful Emperor’s feelings were unreadable, with purple light flickering beneath the helmet:

”Including the Hero.

This is the third Goddess’ Apostle.

His identity should be considered as Candidacy Brave.

But his brilliance has already surpassed real Heroes...

Indeed, he needs to be dealt with.

I will handle it.

Exactly how to act, still depends on theirs.

They definitely won’t let it go easily; surely, there will be new actions next.”
