Demon King: Hero, don't run away!

After about five or six minutes of brainstorming, Bai Jin and the others finally unlocked the barrier left by Demon Bar.

The fiercely burning black flames were also completely extinguished.

Under Iyas’s healing, most of Lotcar’s injuries were cured, and he firmly stood up and walked over to Yang Yu and the others.

Yang Yu put away his shield, nodded to Lotcar, affirming Lotcar’s correct judgment earlier, and then looked far towards the center of Demon King City.

The eerie fog was still gathering at the center of Demon King City, like a gigantic cocoon, and no one could see what was happening inside the mist. Even as magicians, Bai Jin and the others could not sense the magic fluctuations emanating from within.

Yang Yu gestured to He Meng nearby, signaling her to come to the side to talk.

He Meng had long reverted to her original round Slime form. Seeing Yang Yu call her over was no surprise; she spun into a girl’s form and quickly ran over to Yang Yu’s side.

Yang Yu briefly said, "You haven’t forgotten the plan I taught you earlier, have you?

You shouldn’t have an empty mind from flying around in the sky..."

Upon hearing this, He Meng suddenly got annoyed: "Believe it or not, I can hit you!

Clearly, you seem very gentle with others, why are you only like this with me?"

Yang Yu wiped his face, realizing his earlier wording was biased, and promptly corrected himself: "Sorry. I didn’t mean it.

In any case.

If conventional means can’t break through the upcoming enemies, perhaps we’ll have to use unconventional methods.

At that time, it will be up to you to find a breakthrough.

That’s why I’m confirming here again whether you remember every detail of the plan.

Though Slimes have the ability of perfect memorization, it’s better to be careful.

Recite the plan I once told you, then perform your transformation ability."

Yang Yu sincerely took out a large handful of Clovers to apologize to He Meng.

He Meng hugged her arms and popped all the Clovers from Yang Yu’s hands into her stomach, speaking while eating:

"All right, all right. I understand your worry.

Emphasizing like this again and again, just how unsecured about me are you?

Let me recite it again...

Then, this is the posture you want, and this is also the posture you want.

After the battle begins, I’ll receive your orders.

According to needs, I’ll switch between these postures and execute different plans."

The Slime form of He Meng quickly transformed into two silhouettes.

Although they weren’t perfect due to lack of detailed understanding, from a distance, they were convincing enough.

He Meng opened and closed her mouth, reciting Yang Yu’s strategy. Yang Yu also took the opportunity to straighten his thoughts.

Whether this strategy would be effective was unknown, but it was necessary to attempt it in cases where everything else failed.

Confirming that He Meng’s memory of the strategy matched his precisely, Yang Yu led He Meng and the others to board Lotcar and rush to the next battlefield.

However, before Lotcar managed to take a few steps towards the center of Demon King City, a huge pillar of light pierced through the cocoon-shaped deceit fog, shooting straight into the sky, illuminating the entire horizon.

Demon King Guian Emperor and Hero Lox had finally reached a conclusion.

Just as countless fairytales extol, "Justice" always conquers "Evil."

The Demon King, once again, falls in this world.

Lox’s Holy Sword completely pierced the Demon King’s body, crimson blood continuously flowed from the pitch-black armor, dripping onto the ground.

The Demon King’s black helmet fell from his head, revealing a middle-aged face full of spirit yet lifeless. At a glance, aside from his slightly dull skin, Demon King Guian Emperor wasn’t much different from ordinary humans.

Drawing the Holy Sword, Lox focused his gaze on the black blood bar above the Demon King’s head, not attacking further.

Supporting himself with the sword, Guian Emperor raised his head, looking at the expressionless Lox.

Despite the Demon King being defeated, he should be happy now, yet Guian Emperor saw no joy in Hero Lox’s face; instead, he saw a trace of sadness in Lox’s eyes.

"This fight... It is you who won.

A truly unexpected result.

I thought I’d prepared sufficiently, but it was far from enough."

Lox slowly responded: "You are the most difficult opponent I’ve faced, far stronger than previous Demon Kings.

But unfortunately for you, your last move holds a huge flaw.

In the past, I suffered from it twice, so I couldn’t not guard against it."

"You’re more like you predicted my attack." Feeling his life rapidly slipping away, Demon King Guian Emperor displayed no fear.

"After all, in past histories, Demon Kings always liked to use this move to conclude.

This move is also the ultimate move used against the goddess.

If this move had a longer preparation time, coordinating the world’s magic power, it might easily destroy half a planet."

As Lox spoke, he pulled out a giant square from his system, cut in half diagonally.

"As mentioned, you indeed are the Hero from the past, Lox."

Guian Emperor’s gaze didn’t linger on Hero Lox’s body for long but instead fixated on the halved square,

"You came prepared.

This item should be preserved by the Village of Heroes.

The intelligence on you attacking the Village of Heroes is also true.

Ultimately.

I hope to hear your reason for doing this."

At this point, Lox finally vaguely revealed his reasons for doing so:

"I’m on your side.

However, due to certain matters, I am destined to have differences with you, so now I must defeat you and reclaim all the Devil King’s Power.

The matters you anticipated, I will handle them.

I will unleash the goddess, defeat her, and tear away her hypocritical mask.

...No one in this world is more qualified than I am.

As for whether we will see the world we’ve each expected, I don’t know."

"Is that so..." Demon King Guian Emperor seemed unsurprised by Hero Lox’s words, "Whatever you’re thinking, as the loser, I have no right to interfere.

History is brutally harsh.

"Truth" and "Justice" are always in the hands of the victor.

However... However...

The people step-by-step acquire wisdom and the ability to discern truth. Eventually, they will understand what is right and wrong.

Even if certain people in history struggle to twist truth and justice, those with wisdom can undoubtedly grasp the genuine truth.

Remember clearly what I have said!

Hero... Lox...

And then, also through victory, defend your ’truth’ and ’justice’!

Even if it’s uncertain whether this truth and justice truly are truth and justice..."

Demon King Guian Emperor completely lost vitality, but he still maintained a kneeling posture on one knee, not falling.
