Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

The ones experiencing illusions were not limited to Blala Doren.

Several Mandala Pollen Bombs flew beside other Evil Dragon’s offspring, exploding loudly, and yellow smoke instantly engulfed them.

Unique yet realistic illusions appeared before them, causing the Evil Dragon’s offspring, unable to distinguish reality from fantasy, to fall into chaos, flailing their dragon claws around in an attempt to dispel the illusions in front of them.

The flames engulfing Yang Yu instead prevented the spread of the Mandala Pollen Bomb.

After lifting Immovable Rock, Yang Yu’s speed suddenly increased, and he slid between the two wildly swinging claws of the Evil Dragon’s offspring, landing beside Lotcar, climbing onto his body.

Gao Yuanyi, hidden in skill and fame, once again swapped positions with the Ghost Shadow, arriving beside Yang Yu.

While the giant dragon in the sky was unaware of what had occurred, Yang Yu directed Lotcar to run toward the approaching S-Class adventure group and greeted Glantham, the leader of Dragon God’s Might.

Glantham had already heard the sequence of events from Bai Jin.

To avoid unnecessary trouble and increase the cost of explanation, Yang Yu didn’t let Bai Jin reveal the resurrection of Lox, and instead prepared another explanation.

- This is the Demon King City, the hero needs their support, so they can’t afford to delay here for too long.

Next, anything could happen.

If upon reaching the final battlefield, the outcome is already decided, and Hero Lox has successfully defeated the Demon King and absorbed the other half of the Demon King’s power, Yang Yu could use it afterward; now the hero’s consciousness has been seized by the Demon King, convincing everyone here to stand on the same line with him.

Of course, the premise for this alliance is that, after dealing with the Evil Dragon and its offspring, the S-Class adventure groups still have remaining power.

Although Yang Yu had investigated other S-Class adventure groups, he hadn’t seen their true strength, so he didn’t know what kind of performance they would have in the upcoming battle; thus, Yang Yu dared not make a hasty conclusion.

But as long as they could hold off the Evil Dragon and its offspring, to Yang Yu, they would be the best help.

Glantham didn’t stop his footsteps, responding to Yang Yu’s greeting while continuing to lead the S-Class adventure groups closer to the gathering Evil Dragon’s offspring.

On their way here, several Evil Dragons tried to stop them, and according to Bai Jin’s intelligence, Glantham had already dispatched appropriate S-Class adventure groups to deal with them.

Glantham simply said, ”Thank you for providing the intelligence,” and permitted Yang Yu and them to leave.

Being able to find such a giant dragon as their helper, supporting them in facing the Evil Dragon, had already made Glantham quite grateful.

Even if demanding Yang Yu to stay would make the strategy against the Evil Dragon much simpler, Glantham didn’t impose difficulties.

The guard of Dragon God’s Might, Gushan, passed by, and Yang Yu gave him an additional greeting:

”Senior Gushan, sorry to bother you.

Even if it’s a bit embarrassing, I’d like to ask, do you currently have extra Epic Shields or Legendary Shields?

The battle today unexpectedly consumes Shields.

I want to carry a few more, just in case.”

Raising his hand to scratch his shiny bald head, the towering Gushan showed Yang Yu a slightly helpless smile:

”The situation is urgent this time, your gathering speed is quite fast, we’re nonstop, so there’s no way to return to the stronghold.”

”No worries, it’s an unexpected outcome. I just held a bit of hope, and casually asked.”

”If I unfortunately die in battle, you can use my shield. After use, remember to return it to Dragon God’s Might. This shield can’t be given for free.”

”The battle has just started, don’t be so pessimistic. Besides, that shield of yours is so big, I can’t wield it properly.”

”That’s true.”

Gushan laughed heartily, striding quickly forward, catching up with the advancing team.

As the guard in charge for Dragon God’s Might, Gushan couldn’t lag too much; the team needed him to withstand damage and provide control.

Yang Yu waved at him, and the S-Class adventure groups following Dragon God’s Might increased their speed as it increased, quickly approaching the chaotic Evil Dragon’s offspring.

Several magicians had already flown into the sky, engaging in intense battles with the Evil Dragon’s offspring that could soar through the skies.

Tico, Li Yan, bringing Qiuye and He Meng, again reunited with Yang Yu and the others.

Beside them was a female fox swordsman dressed in kimono, with nine fox tails blooming like flowers.

The visitor was none other than Xin Mang Madeline, leader of the Quasi-S-Class Adventure Team Baihua Binfen.

”Long time no see, I heard everything you said just now.

At critical moments, suitable equipment is essential.

The items you wanted, I’ve brought them according to the Governor’s request... just that...”

Xin Mang warmly greeted Yang Yu, summoning a Storage Magic Array, her expression slightly complex as she took out a shield,

”I don’t think you can fight with a shield that’s shattered into two pieces.

So...

I tried using new abilities mastered to merge the halved shield back together.

... I tried many times, but only managed to roughly stick them together, and couldn’t fully restore the shield.”

Holding the Broken Cocoon Butterfly given by Xin Mang, Yang Yu could see the originally neat break welded together like electric welding, with unique patterns burned near the interface.

Yang Yu had previously contacted Ming Dalak, specifically requesting the shield Broken Cocoon Butterfly that had been left on the battlefield, unable to be reclaimed in time.

Originally thinking there was no chance of receiving Broken Cocoon Butterfly before the battle here concluded, Ming Dalak indeed went to great lengths to reclaim the captured city, cleared the waste repository, and found the described shield, instructing Xin Mang to deliver it.

However, the timing of this shield’s appearance was particularly bad.

Opening the system panel, Yang Yu appraised Broken Cocoon Butterfly; its attributes remained shrouded in grey, and skills became unusable.

The only consolation was that Broken Cocoon Butterfly’s progress of ”Cocoon to Butterfly” remained at ninety-nine percent.

If this shield had arrived in Yang Yu’s hands earlier, he could have trained it, allowing Broken Cocoon Butterfly to complete its metamorphosis before the final showdown, turning it into combat power.

But given the current juncture, should he really gamble with a shield that might split back into two at any moment?

Furrowing his brow, Yang Yu continued to look at Xin Mang and asked:

”You appearing here means you’ve already completed transformation training with the Silver Teeth Clan, right?

Besides this shield, did you bring any other shields?

If you happened to strategize the Underground Maze, did you find any usable Legendary Equipment...”

”The Governor was also unwilling for you to use such a shield. Hence sent me with some equipment for you, the quality is quite good. There’s one piece of Legendary Equipment, though unfortunately it’s not a shield...” Xin Mang said mysteriously, ”As for whether I’ve learned transformation, you’ll know soon enough!”
