Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

The dragon’s roar shook the heavens as Black Diamond Lorne, transformed into a Steel Giant Dragon, rolled up a hurricane with his metallic wings and soared into the sky.

Countless members of the Steel Clan followed in the footsteps of Black Diamond Lorne, leaping off the aircraft carrier and taking to the skies.

The powerful magic fluctuations accompanied by strong winds swept across the sea, stirring up turbulent waves.

The small boat carrying Lux and Yongfang Chunlan was unaffected by the wind and waves. The spray struck the boat’s barrier, turning into countless tiny water droplets, creating a mist with rainbows forming beside it in the sunlight.

”There are also below.

The Demon King has not appeared.

It seems like a test of our strength ahead of time.”

Lux stared at Black Diamond Lorne and asked Yongfang Chunlan beside him,

”With his clan joining him, can you handle it?”

Yongfang Chunlan responded confidently, ”It’s a bit challenging for one person.

But it’s just a challenge.

Over the years, I haven’t slackened for a moment.

It’s been a long time since a large-scale battle.

Now is the perfect time to showcase my real strength.

Let me show you my growth over these years!”

Numerous shark fins broke the distant sea surface, skimming over the dark sea, and moved towards the small boat where Lux was.

Lux placed one hand on his temple and the other on the hilt of the Holy Sword:

”Currently, I am unaware of the situation at the Demon King City.

I’ll leave this to you.

I will call Agares to join this battle and move the battlefield from the sea to the land.

To avoid interference from those water-element demons.

That guy’s defense is hard to break through, especially in this dragon form, so try to buy time.”

Before the formal action, Lux had already informed the others of most of the plan, letting them prepare in advance.

It’s not easy to divert the Steel Giant Dragon circling in mid-air.

But as long as Agares uses certain tools to set up teleportation points in advance in certain places, there’s hope in shifting Black Diamond Lorne.

Agares needs time to come over and deploy the tools.

Yongfang Chunlan’s duty is to clear obstacles for Agares’ actions and move the troublesome Black Diamond Lorne.

Without Black Diamond Lorne’s assistance, Lux’s chances of taking down the Demon King would greatly increase.

Lux drew the Holy Sword, and three slender golden beams intersected and plunged into the sea.

The revealed shark fins were only there to capture their attention.

If Lux and the others truly focused on the shark fins, they would be caught off guard by the stealthy approach of the Demon Clan.

Lux had already seen through the demon’s tactics.

Hundreds of years ago, Lux was transferred to the Demon King City through a Teleportation Array left by the Demon King.

After completely destroying the Demon King City, Lux and his partner Kongkai journeyed over the sea, only to encounter attacks from some water-element demons.

Lux couldn’t afford not to be vigilant.

The water-element demon cadres hiding in the ocean saw the approaching golden rays and sensed danger, dragging their bodies to swiftly evade, successfully dodging those bizarre golden lights.

But some unfortunate soldiers who didn’t manage to evade in time were sliced into halves.

The stench of blood spread through the water, staining the sea crimson.

Standing firmly on the small boat, Yongfang Chunlan glanced at Black Diamond Lorne along with Lux, saying:

”Rest assured and leave this to me.

You be extra cautious on your own.

If the demon can keep him occupied,

I will immediately rush to your side to assist.”

”You’ve grown more outstanding than I imagined.

If it weren’t for you, none of this could go so smoothly.

You be careful too.”

Hearing Lux’s words of approval, Yongfang Chunlan was overjoyed as an ancient text-woven Magic Circle rapidly formed beside her.

Lux released the barrier protecting the small boat, and the white spray from the prow surged forward instantly.

The fierce wind howled, blowing Yongfang Chunlan’s purple long hair, lifting the long robe draped over her.

She undid the robe’s buttons, and the robe sheltering Yongfang Chunlan soared into the sky. The icy water sprayed onto Yongfang Chunlan’s unique tightly-fitted outfit, turning into pea-sized water droplets that slid down her still-charming body.

Yongfang Chunlan’s eyes emitted a brilliant purple glow, her circular pupils contracted and rose upwards, morphing into sharp and majestic Dragon Eyes, as large scales covered her cheeks.

The demon with shark fins, seeing the distance was sufficient, surfaced from the sea, widening their blood-red mouths. The seawater converged in their mouths and transformed into high-pressure water jets.

Despite being shocked by the hero’s powerful attack, countless marine-shaped demon clan cadres immediately commanded their troops to launch a surprise assault on the hero’s vessel.

The steel creatures in the sky cooperated in the battle, tearing off steel pieces from their bodies and, with their will, crafting sharp steel weapons.

The whirling steel creatures instantly transformed into enormous motherships, commanding weapons to hurl against the hero.

With a light push from her feet on Lux’s boat, Yongfang Chunlan ascended high into the air protected by countless ancient text-woven magic rings, encompassing the entire battlefield with her gaze.

Storage Magic glimmered as Yongfang Chunlan pulled out a tennis-sized cyan orb, forcefully tossing it towards the heart of the battle.

The cyan orb expanded rapidly in mid-flight, quickly absorbing the surrounding magic power, finally bursting like a bomb, unfurling an azure Barrier large enough to cover both sides.

Within this Barrier, all flying tools had their speed greatly reduced to only 10% to 30% of their original speed.

Though it wasn’t a solution to the problem, Yongfang Chunlan had bought herself ample time for her next Magic.

Yongfang Chunlan then extracted a Zen Stick from her Storage Magic, transferring part of the ancient text-formed Magic Circle on her to the Zen Stick, directing it skyward.

In an instant, a massive amount of magic power surged towards the rapidly forming large Magic Array in the sky.

Black Diamond Lorne instantly realized that Yongfang Chunlan was preparing to unleash an incredibly destructive Super Large Magic, opening his massive jaws, emitting a harsh metallic noise to disrupt Yongfang Chunlan’s spell casting.

Unexpectedly, Black Diamond Lorne’s voice was also hindered within the peculiar Barrier, unable to interfere with Yongfang Chunlan immediately.

”The scale of that Super Large Magic is Ice Magic, in which case...”

Black Diamond Lorne communicated with other clan members, and the Steel Clan hovering in mid-air swiftly manipulated steel fragments with their consciousness, commanding the fragments to rapidly spread out, forming a massive Shield.

The magic power accumulated in the Magic Array above Yongfang Chunlan’s head grew increasingly vast, as white mist drifted from its edges, and suddenly, countless white lights descended like thunder, heading towards the sea.
