I'm the Demon King, Richard. To be precise, I'm the clone of the Demon King, Richard, Lin Chade. Now's not the time to introduce myself. I'm tied to a wooden pole, and I'm in a very dangerous situation!
"Hey, hey! What's going on?! Put me down! "
The Demon King shouted as he struggled.
"I'm sorry, bro. I'll have to trouble you for a while. If you want to blame someone, blame our captain for being too suspicious," Greer said as he came over.
"But you don't have to help me here! I'm going to die! "
The Demon King was lying in the middle of the manhole cover, his expression restless. Although he could break free at any time, that would ruin his plan. What they were about to do would harm his doppelgänger and might even expose his identity as a demon.
"That's right, Lilith. This is too much."
Oro said with a frown.
Lilith glared at the Demon King.
"If you dare lie to me, you'll be roasted by the sun!" She then turned to Oro and said, "Throw him aside. There's no time to waste."
The Demon King sighed in relief. Oro hugged him and stuck him to the pole.
The sun represented death to demons. Sunlight could cause harm to demons, and it was no exception to the Demon King and Richard, let alone a clone that was far weaker than the main body.
"Get ready! Let's begin. "
After Lilith finished speaking, the others immediately got into a battle stance. She raised her staff and chanted.
"Almighty Sun God! Please grant me the power of destruction! Break this seal! "
She shouted, and a huge red magic array floated in the air, like a dark cloud floating low in the sky. The ground immediately darkened.
It was noon. The sun was high in the sky, but the magic circle covered it like a dark cloud. Everyone looked at it in silence, feeling a little nervous.
Suddenly, an extremely dazzling beam of light shone down from the center of the magic array, instantly pouring into the center of the manhole cover. The light scattered on the manhole cover, and the surroundings were immediately plunged into a dazzling light. Even with their eyes closed, their eyes would still be burned by the light.
"Ahhh! My eyes. "
Oro screamed.
If this continued, they would go blind!
Lilith immediately stopped the magic array, and the light disappeared. Everyone was still unable to see anything clearly.
"What happened? Damn it! My tears won't stop, Lilith! "Greer cursed. If they were ambushed at this time, the four of them would undoubtedly die.
"Ahhh! I'm going to kill that damned guy. " Lilith gritted her teeth and cast a spell. A golden bell-like protective shield appeared around her three companions.
Boom!
Suddenly, the ground shook, and the four of them were shocked. Because they hadn't recovered their vision yet, they were even more panicked.
"What's going on?" Greer closed his eyes, half crouched, and carefully listened to the movements around him.
At this moment, the Demon King silently took off his sunglasses and tied himself up again.
Only he saw that there was a hole in the manhole cover that had been burned by the sunlight. Due to the lack of sunlight, the seal had not been fully opened, and the shaking was caused by something inside the well hitting the manhole cover.
Boom!
The terrible shaking came again, and this time, it was even more intense.
"Hey! This is not good! " Oro said in a panic. He crouched on the ground, probably trying to find cover, but because his eyes couldn't see clearly, his body hid in front of the manhole cover.
Dodoro, on the other hand, was quick to react. After the first tremor, he quickly backed away. Sensing that something was wrong, he turned around and tried to run away. However, since he couldn't see, he tripped and fell right at the demon king's feet.
Boom!
Another tremor, and the vision of the four slowly recovered. Although it was a little hazy, they could already see things.
"It's cracked!"
After looking around, Greer found that the manhole cover was strange. The thick metal cover had cracks and a small black hole, and now, something was hitting it, causing it to bulge.
"Hey! What's going on! "Lilith turned around and shouted at the Demon King.
"How would I know?"
The Demon King said innocently.
"Let's not talk about it. I think we should run first!" Oro stood up and ran behind Lilith.
"Wait! The sound seems to have stopped! "Greer shouted. He bent down and stared at the manhole cover.
The shaking stopped, and everyone's attention was focused on the cover. No one spoke, not even the sound of breathing. It was very quiet.
Rumble!
In an instant, the manhole cover was smashed, and a terrible force sent everyone flying. If it weren't for Lilith's barrier, they would have been in danger. The Demon King, however, was not so lucky. He flew directly into a tree and hung there.
A monster with hind legs like a goat, forearms like a tiger, and a head like an eagle rushed out. It was huge but skinny, and as soon as it appeared, it carried a disgusting stench.
Greer was the first to stand up and draw his sword.
"What is this monster?!"
"This is! Could it be! "Lilith's face was scratched by a flying stone. She was shocked to see this monster.
"Divine Beast Bilos!"
The elf Dodoro said first.
"What?! That's the legendary guardian of the Wise Ones? How did it become like this … "Greer felt that things were not good.
"It's over! It's no longer a divine beast. It's been corrupted by the Demon King! "
Oro said in fear. The giant sword in his hand kept shaking.
Every time Bilos breathed, gray smoke would come out of its nose. Its eyeballs were yellow, and its face was full of red warts.
It glanced at the four of them with its lifeless eyes.
"Don't move! Dodoro, get ready to teleport! "
Lilith whispered.
"The elves are scared away. I can't use the teleportation spell!"
Dodoro said anxiously.
"What?!" Lilith panicked.
"Lilith, watch out!"
Greer suddenly shouted. Bilos roared and spat out a black miasma from its mouth.
Lilith hurriedly opened her shield and resisted the attack with great difficulty. However, the magic shield would not last long.
Dodoro raised his bow and shot a few arrows at Piros, but the monster didn't react at all. Greer also rushed forward and slashed Piros with a flurry of attacks.
However, Bilos didn't seem to feel pain. Its front foot was bloody, but it didn't feel anything. When it saw Greer, it immediately stopped attacking and turned around to slap Greer.
Greer was agile and jumped back to avoid the slap. However, Bilos jumped forward and was about to pounce on him like a cat catching a mouse. Grier unsheathed his short sword, thrusting it out with one hand and defending with the other. The long sword pierced through the opponent's palm and blocked its claw with the short sword, but the weight of the claw forced Grier to kneel on one knee.
But it wasn't over yet. Bilos' claws kept extending until they were only a few centimeters away from Greer's face, and the distance was shrinking.
"Ah!"
Oro raised his sword and was about to charge.
"Idiot! Don't come over! Stay with Lilith! "
Greer suddenly shouted. Oro didn't know what to do.
"Back off, Oro!"
Lilith had finished her chant and pointed her staff at Bilos. "Sorry, Bilos!"
With that, a ferocious flame snake came out of the staff. It flew over Oro's head and bit Bilos.
Bilos' back was immediately ignited. Under the attack of the flame snake, its body leaned to the side. Greer took the opportunity to let go of his sword and rolled away from the claw of death.
Bilos turned around and looked at Lilith. It raised its front foot and tore the flame snake apart with two claws. Then it rushed toward them.
However, at this moment, dozens of thick roots emerged from the ground. Dodoro controlled the roots to trip Bilos.
"Oro! Go! "
"Oh!"
Lilith immediately shouted, and Oro reacted as well. He raised his greatsword and swung it, using all his strength to slash at Bilose's neck.
With a splat, the neck was cut in half.
A dying monster. I thought it was something else.
At this moment, the Demon King was yawning, but a monster head was flying toward him.
