Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

After knocking away He Meng, Lux focused his attention on Iyas again, the sharp Holy Sword stabbing towards Iyas’s throat.

Light shimmered from her body, as Iyas became the center and stirred up ripples.

Simultaneously, a sacred Holy Light Array arose above Hero Lux’s head, casting down holy light.

Iyas unleashed two controlling Holy Light Skills in succession: ”Sacred Ripples” and ”Holy Light Restriction”.

If these two skills were effective, they could not only smoothly evade Lux’s attack but also create an opportunity for others to strike.

Unfortunately, Lux had long anticipated Iyas’s counterattack.

Before Iyas’s Holy Light skills could reach Lux, a unique glow covered Lux, enveloping him in a thin membrane.

As soon as Iyas’s Holy Light touched the membrane on Lux’s body, it was instantly disintegrated into countless subtle lights, dispersing in mid-air.

The Demon King was created as a weapon to completely defeat the goddess and naturally had various strategies to counter Holy Light.

To Lux, Iyas’s two skills were merely a drizzle.

The sword blade came closer and closer to Iyas, about to hit her...

At this moment!

Suddenly, a change occurred, disrupting Lux’s plan.

Like a baseball being struck, He Meng flew out several meters, seemingly unable to engage in battle again, but he had a backup plan.

A real backup plan—he had kept one hand!

Before jumping to block the blade, He Meng sprayed a small glob of goo at Lotcar under him, transforming into a small hand, clutching onto Lotcar’s back tightly.

He Meng, who was knocked flying out, was stretched to the limit and instantly snapped back like a rubber band full of force!

With the massive force Lux had exerted earlier, He Meng transformed into a large spiked iron ball, smashing towards Lux’s face.

Lux, while inheriting the Devil King’s Power, also inherited various equipment from the Demon King.

The black armor on his body could withstand considerable damage, and he was not afraid of He Meng’s sudden attack.

But just to be safe, Lux still applied magic fixed in the sky.

He Meng ”pop” hit Hero Lux’s body.

As Lux anticipated, even though He Meng had stored his previous power, it couldn’t shake his position.

However, He Meng’s attack wasn’t entirely in vain.

Lux was slightly distracted, using other magic to prevent He Meng, providing Iyas the opportunity to dodge Lux’s attack.

Iyas tilted her head, letting Lux’s sword blade narrowly miss her hair.

Initially, Iyas was just an ordinary, somewhat stubborn elf living a monotonous life for decades.

Due to a sudden incident, she came to know Yang Yu and the others.

Yang Yu and the team accepted her despite her flaws and helped save her brother.

Without Yang Yu and the team, she might have died countless times and faced endless suffering.

Iyas had nothing to repay them with.

All she could do was continue to improve herself and assist Yang Yu and the team.

She was the team’s Priest and sniper. If she died just like that, no one else could help heal the team.

Since Holy Light was ineffective against Lux, she relied on her companions.

Iyas extended her hand, releasing Holy Light, not at the nearby Lux, but at the large black iron ball smashing onto Lux.

The large black iron ball could feel its defensive ability dramatically increase; He Meng pressed forward in one go, the large black iron ball exploding outwards like popcorn, transforming into a large hand, lunging towards Lux, tightly binding him.

Black Energy emitted from the black armor, like countless thorns piercing towards He Meng.

He Meng felt a stinging pain all over but did not let go; even Lotcar could bear it, and as the first to join the team, how could she hold the team back?

Magic formed in her hand, Bai Jin, Tico, and Li Yan jointly unleashed magic to bombard Lux, enveloped by He Meng.

Violent currents became even fiercer with the enforcement of intense flames, instantly enveloping Lux and also He Meng.

Lying on Lotcar’s back, Iyas continued to cast various benefits and heal He Meng amidst the flashing thunder.

After a violent explosion, Bai Jin’s magic experienced a brief vacuum period.

Amidst thick smoke, a cluster of purple flames shook violently, and once the smoke cleared, Lux stood there calmly as if unscathed, firmly wrapped by He Meng.

Lux re-donned the Demon King’s helmet, his eyes faintly revealing an invincible aura among thousands of troops.

Gathering his shoulders, increasing his strength, Lux spread his arms wide, attempting to escape He Meng’s grasp.

He Meng was pulled painfully, nearly unable to maintain her body parts, when suddenly, a figure appeared before her.

”Fire Attraction!”

Roaring flames rose behind Yang Yu, gathering before his chest, transforming into a red venomous serpent, directly hitting Lux’s chest.

Lux’s strength greatly increased, but for a certain period, he was unable to use various transformation skills,

The attack boost induced by ”Fire Attraction” precisely provided the foundation for Lux to completely break free from He Meng.

With a forceful tremor, He Meng could no longer seal Lux’s body, her sticky form shattered into pieces, falling from the air.

Landing on the ground, He Meng reverted to her original round shape, quickly sweeping up surrounding small balls to restore herself.

Just as he broke free from He Meng’s grasp, a figure appeared behind Lux.

The giant mechanical arm roared, Gao Yuanyi launched a solid punch towards the back of Lux, instantly knocking him several meters away.

Lotcar seized the opportunity, without hesitation leading Bai Jin and the team away from Lux.

Tico used magic to carry the reverted He Meng; considering her outstanding performance just now, it was time for her to rest considering future plans.

Lux tumbled a few times, then stood steadily in mid-air.

His gaze flicked towards the distant Lotcar, Lux showed no urgency, swiftly dodging to the right, avoiding purple thorns that rose from the square, facing Yang Yu and Gao Yuanyi:

”I can see you value your companions greatly.

What a pity they are your companions.

You talked so confidently, I had intended to let you taste the loss of companions.

Yet your companions are more reliable than anticipated.

Some intelligence requires displaying full strength mutually to be known.

Casually using skills with severe side effects could unknowingly bring disaster.”

Lux exuded copious Black Flames, covering his entire body, bringing intense heat to the surroundings.

Yang Yu and Gao Yuanyi wouldn’t give Lux any chance to activate skills, they seized the moment Lux prepared skills, launching another fierce attack in unison.
