Chapter 40 The Demon King’s Choice
In the blood-covered hall, bloody skeletons stand majestically.
The feeling of oppression that hit their faces made all the envoys from the Earth Dragon Clan and Shadow Weaver's Lair hold their breaths uncontrollably.
In this world, skeletons are not a rare thing, and their strength is not worth mentioning.
After all, most of them have incomplete souls and do not have sound minds. Even if they have bronze or even steel-level strength, it is difficult to fully display it in battle. It is common for them to be killed by low-level adventurers or even adventurers without extraordinary power.
However, these undead are different.
At least, the feeling they gave Arakto was completely different from those stupid wastes.
These guys can not only jump and jump, but also use adventurers' combat skills, and even dissect monster corpses like adventurers...
It's just like they are alive!
I think it was precisely because the Earth Dragon Clan saw this that they sent an envoy...
Aracto, who was fully on guard, quietly glanced at the lizard man not far away.
The other party seemed to sense his gaze and looked over with slightly squinted eyes.
That unruly look was like looking at a bug, and he didn't take him seriously at all.
Faced with the suppression of blood, Arakdo was annoyed, but he did not dare to attack. He could only swallow this breath and avoid the sharp edge for the time being.
Seemingly seeing his concession, the lizardman messenger raised his chin, with an even more disdainful look on his face.
It is said that what goes up is good and what goes down is effective. Seeing that their boss was so proud, the few guards standing behind the envoy also showed off their power, gesticulating with the guys in their hands, and giving provocative looks to the envoy from Shadow Weaver's lair.
Arlacto and the hunters behind him dared not speak out in anger, and could only use the chirping of insects to warn them.
In the eyes of a lizard man, that self-consoling cry is simply like begging for mercy.
Standing in the Demon King's Landing above the maze, Luo Yan used Youyou's ability to carefully observe the intrigues of this group of monsters.
For humans, it is not easy to read the micro-expressions of monsters.
But after all, he has lived in the Demon City for 18 years, and he knows the nature and provocative actions of various hell creatures very well.
Judging from the arrogant and majestic posture of the group of lizard men, it was obvious that they did not take the group of spiders seriously.
This is no wonder.
After all, lizards are the natural enemies of insect monsters whether on earth or in another world.
Especially here, the former can also use human tools, so why not eat the buffet?
Recalling what he had learned at Demon King Academy, Luo Yan's thoughts quickly became clear.
Use the survival crisis to win over the spider tribe, and then cooperate with human external enemies to suppress the lizard tribe.
In this way, the first level of the maze is at your fingertips!
"It's my turn to appear..."
"Petrified skin!"
Put away the mirror in his hand, Luo Yan raised his wand, and applied twelve buffs to his body.
"Swift as the wind!"
"Increased mana!"
"Atmospheric barrier!"
"..."
After a set of gorgeous operations, he absorbed the light of Chrissy who was watching the excitement at the edge of the stone prison, and then jumped into the deep pit connected to the first level of the maze.
Normally, he would never dare to jump from a height of more than ten meters. However, now that his body is covered with buffs, he will not panic at all even if it is higher!
The moment he landed, the airflow from the "atmospheric barrier" blew the dust on the ground ten meters away.
A pair of eyes quickly focused on him.
The faces of the Crypt Spiders and Lizardmen showed obvious fear, while the faces of the players were full of desire.
Demon King!
This guy is finally here!
The cutscene took so long to load that many people thought the device was stuck.
"I heard that someone wants to see me."
There are visible magic ripples flowing under the pitch black cloak, and the man standing among the bones is like a king in the cemetery.
The lizardman messenger couldn't see his depth. He only felt that this man was terrifyingly strong, with so much magic power that it seemed as if he was about to overflow!
ifier |
That is the courtesy from a minister to the monarch.
Looking down at him with cold eyes, Luo Yan raised a faint chuckle at the corner of his mouth.
"Earth Dragon Clan? Sir? Did I hear you correctly? Even a four-legged snake dares to mention this word in front of me. It seems that Mr. Dragon has not taught you what humility is."
There are two main G-spots of lizard men.
One is to call them lizard people regardless of their species, and the second is to call them four-legged snakes.
By the way, in order to prevent the players from getting confused, Luo Yan also specially asked Yuyou to add subtitles to their "player system".
After hearing his taunt, the group of four-legged snakes were furious.
"You guy——" A naked lizard man took off the short bow on his back and angrily drew an arrow from his quiver.
However, before he could pull back the bowstring, the scaly head flew out from his neck, turned into an arc and fell into the corner of the hall.
A long-drawn-out murmur echoed in my ears.
Octo was suddenly startled and quickly looked to the side. He saw a zombie standing tall with a big sword in hand, staring at him with cold eyes, as if looking at a corpse.
His scales stood up all over his body. He jumped back to distance himself, and his hand was already on the short knife at his waist.
This guy——
When did he approach? !
The hand holding the dagger loosened and tightened, and then tightened and loosened, and Octor was filled with fear.
His amber pupils moved back and forth between the motionless zombie and the necromancer not far away, his heart beating like a drum.
The sudden scene stunned all the monsters present. Their eyes were either frightened, angry, or fearful... Even the crypt spider Arakdo was stunned.
He was happy to see these geckos being eaten up, but he didn’t expect that the Demon King didn’t care about the identity of their envoy, and cut off the guy’s head with a knife in his hand.
As for the players who were still, their eyes were glowing with excitement.
Is this the ceiling of combat power in "Calamity OL"?
This feeling of oppression——
It is simply overwhelming!
"Good expression."
Looking at the lizard head lying on the ground not far away, Luo Yan spoke nonchalantly, like an unreasonable tyrant.
"With difficulty, you can decorate my palace walls."
The lizardman guards were excited and were about to run away, but Octor hurriedly stopped them.
That humble appearance is just like the crypt spiders they looked down upon.
Looking at the Demon King who was raising his wand, he knelt down on one knee again and said with a trembling voice.
"Dear Lord Demon King! Please let me finish my words! We came here with the purpose of peace!"
This time this guy no longer pretended to call you His Highness, but simply called Lord Demon King.
But——
Luo Yan will not simply believe that this guy is really convinced.
Luo Yan looked down at him and said in an understatement.
"Peace?"
"No, that's right!"
Octor gritted his teeth, forced out a friendly expression from his scale-covered face, and looked up at him humbly.
"The threat on the surface is imminent, now is not the time for internal fighting, and you don't want to be taken advantage of by those humans, right? Sanu Da... Our clan leader, he hopes to conclude a peace treaty with His Highness. The two sides will not attack each other, coexist peacefully, and be friendly forever!"
The so-called peace agreement is actually just a stone thrown at us.
No lord would sign such a thing with his vassal, and a contract without strength guarantee would be nothing in hell.
If the Demon King accepts this agreement, it will be tantamount to exposing his weakness.
In this way, the Earth Dragon Clan can advance and retreat freely, whether it is a large-scale attack to eliminate this threat once and for all, or they can hold the Demon King hostage and order Xiaoxiao to conquer the lower levels of the maze...
If the Demon King does not agree, it means that the other party has the confidence to crush them. Whether this is a bluff or the truth, they can always be dealt with carefully.
This is the plan of the patriarch.
Before deciding their attitude towards the Demon King, they need to understand the Demon King's strength before they can make the next move.
Just as Octor was making small calculations in his mind, Arakedo, not far away, was also secretly calculating, waiting for the Demon King's answer.
Perhaps the Demon King hasn't realized that the gecko kneeling in front of him didn't take him seriously at all.
Including the entire Earth Dragon clan.
He was very curious about what kind of choice the Demon King would make, and whether this choice was worthy of the loyalty of Shadow Weaver's Lair... and even his own loyalty.
All the monsters have their own agenda, but Luo Yan, who looked down at them, just smiled.
Can't I see it?
Hehe.
Guess what I usually study in class?
…"This is the funniest joke I've heard today. A four-legged snake wants to negotiate an agreement with me."
Ignoring the frightened and angry face, Luo Yan turned his attention to the crypt spider crawling on the ground and said in a very soft voice.
"What about you? The eight-legged little guy, are you here to negotiate terms with me too?"
The fear technique taught by Professor Enos.
He can not only defend, but also use it skillfully and freely.
Facing that cold look, Arakdo felt his whole body stiffen, and his carapace trembled uncontrollably.
It's unmistakable——
That feeling of oppression from the Demon King!
The man in front of me is far more powerful than His Majesty Arachinos!
"Shadowweaver's lair is willing to offer its loyalty to you! The labyrinth will always belong to hell! It will always belong to the Demon Temple! It will also always belong to you, the esteemed one...We are waiting for your arrival! Dear Demon King!"
He who knows the current affairs is a hero——
He voted for Her Majesty the Queen!
Anyway...she agreed, the one who pretended to surrender first or something.
"Coward!"
Octor, who was kneeling on one knee, cursed and bounced off the ground like lightning.
The temptation failed!
This is the worst result!
The other party has no desire to negotiate with them at all, and the agreement they have worked so hard to come up with is dismissed with a contemptuous humiliation, and they don't even want to hear a compromise plan.
Obviously!
This demon king's strength has far exceeded their imagination, so much so that he has no intention of playing intrigue games with them at all!
Compared to surrender——
He wants to sacrifice their heads to the flag!
「Get ready to fight!!」
