Chapter 152 Then there was light in the maze
The moment Xino finished speaking, a soft light suddenly fell from the sky and enveloped everyone's heads, covering the mist-shrouded forest with a solemn and sacred coat.
Tyrell, the leader of the Gray Wind Tribe, subconsciously raised his head and looked at the dome directly above, and then his eyes were filled with an expression of astonishment.
I saw that the crystal on the dome was like a lake reflecting the moonlight, with circles of ripples like fish scales.
The bright moonlight shines on the forest, like a night under a clear sky.
It is dark.
No——
To be precise, it is bright.
Looking at the silver ripples spreading along the dome, the excitement in Tyrell's eyes could not be described in words. It was like seeing a miracle descended by the demon god himself!
The radiant dome is back!
The moonlight, which had disappeared since the end of the war, once again returned to the sky over the misty forest, injecting vitality into the forest!
It’s not just that!
What moved his expression was not only the moonlight that shone in the forest again, but also the expectations that the bright moonlight brought to him!
If he had some doubts about the young Demon King before and was worried that his abilities would not be enough to support his ambitions, then at this moment he had nothing but respect and admiration in his heart!
Illuminating an entire forest covering hundreds of square kilometers...
This is definitely not something that an ordinary necromancer can do!
Either he received investment from a big shot in the Demon City, or he had a miracle bestowed upon him by the Demon God himself!
Now that the Misty Forest has returned to what it was like in its heyday, is it still far away before the entire maze can regain its strength?
Praise the devil!
The Demon City has indeed not forgotten this distant frontier, and His Majesty the Demon God has indeed not given up on his pious people!
Tyrael prayed in his heart.
At the same time, the deadwood cane in Tyrell's hand moved gently, making a crackling sound, as if stiff bones were being stretched, rejuvenated with youthful vitality.
“Hahaha…this familiar feeling is finally back again.” A cheerful low groan came from the cracked bark.
It is not just the dead branch that has been restored to life, but also the entire dead forest. The rustling sound passing through the forest was like the swaying of leaves, and the dead trees bathed in the moonlight seemed to come to life, blooming with the power of life again.
A huge aura spread around, and along with the spreading moonlight, it enveloped the demons standing in the forest.
The first person to sense it was Vargul.
As an insect, it instinctively felt trembling from the presence of a life that was more towering than itself, and its vocal cords couldn't help but make a low whistle.
In front of the awakening giant beast, it was like a flea on its body...even though the guy didn't release the hunter's killing intent towards him.
The big eyes embedded in the carapace moved around, and finally locked on Tyrell's body, and then he made a sound of surprise and anger.
"What did you do?"
Tyrrell was also shocked by the change in the dead wood cane in his hand, which did not seem to be the case when Reggie Dragon was still alive in his impression.
He didn't know what happened, but he still expressed his suspicion in a gentle tone.
"It's nothing, it's just that the ancestors we serve have woken up."
The deadwood cane in his hand is "Grey Wind", and it is also the ancestor of their night elves.
A thousand years ago, their tribesmen migrated to today's Thunder County with this branch that fell from the mother tree of Igede. Then, as time went by and the expansion of the Isaac Dynasty, they were forced to escape from the Silver Moon Forest into the mountains. Later, they surrendered to the first generation Demon King and moved underground with him...
The Misty Forest was planted at that moment.
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire misty forest is the roots of "His"!
That pure power has surpassed the power itself, and has even reached the category of gods, and cannot be measured by mortal standards!
Different from Vargul, Gerak was more surprised by the moonlight that filled the entire dome.
That surging power seems to be purer than Reggie Dragon! Even more stalwart! Even more unstoppable!
That Demon King...
Is he really just a human being? !
How strong is that guy? !
Like most orcs, with his muscles in his brain, he almost instinctively attributed everything he saw to the strength of the Demon King himself, but he did not associate it with the big figures in the Demon City or even the Demon God like Tyrell did.
Different from him, "Shadow Demon General" Thanos, who was equally shocked, completely gravitated to the other extreme of the grand narrative.
He has heard about the power of the family behind Reggie Dragon. It is said that it is one of the famous families in the Demon City, and is only one step away from the Demon God's cabinet.
And now, instead of being dissatisfied with the "arrangements of the higher levels of hell", the descendants of Reggie Dragon have even made a special trip here to stand up for the new Demon King...
What kind of power is this!
Could it be——
Thanos's pupils widened slightly, and a possibility suddenly emerged in his mind.
This new demon king has a family standing behind him that even the "powerful" Dragon family is afraid of!
If the objective facts are ignored, this is indeed the most reasonable speculation.
However, what is intriguing is that although things are not what he thought at all, his imagination is unexpectedly closer to the truth than Gluck's imagination?
Luo Yan has indeed attracted the sponsorship of many demons, including the magma worms he obtained from Professor Edonia. Although he himself did not rely on the power of the Colin family, he was able to meet Professor Edonia for the sake of Caesar Colin.
Even though the letter of introduction was written by Principal Aiwen.
Tanos had a drop of sweat on his forehead, and he was already feeling scared. In order to prevent the Demon King from arriving here, he did play some clever tricks.
Although he felt that he was not wrong.
In the entire maze, who didn’t feel relieved when Reggie Dragon died? When I heard that the Demon City sent another demon king here, who wouldn’t feel like mourning for a heir?
He just did what they only dared to think about but did not dare to do!
While Thanos was feeling panicked, Brancia was looking at the sky full of moonlight without saying a word.
Compared to the other three demon generals, her reaction was relatively calm, but the surprise in her purple eyes could not be hidden.
That is indeed worthy of her surprise.
Hence, after all, Reggie Dragon lit up this dome with the help of the power of the labyrinth core. In other words, he borrowed the power of His Majesty the Demon God.
Now, the core of the labyrinth has just been deployed, and the area of influence has not even expanded to the fourth level of the labyrinth.
No matter what method he used to accomplish this, it is enough to be called a miracle.
Thinking of this, Brancia couldn't help but become very interested in this demon king, and even changed her original mind.
The City of Despair actually doesn't care who the ruler of the labyrinth is. All the demons living there need is a stable environment to recuperate.
Her appeal also revolves around this point.
If the new Demon King is not a war madman, but really cares about the Demon God's people living in this borderland, then having a Demon King is not a bad thing for her.
However, the problem now is not what she thinks, but that as the Demon King, she seems to be extremely disappointed with the short-sightedness of her colleagues.
If another demon king is sent here from Hell, it would be difficult to be friendlier than him...
Thinking of this, Brancia frowned slightly and couldn't help but fall into thinking.
We have to find a way to keep him.
The expressions of the people standing at the scene were all different. Even Xino, who was cooperating with Luo Yan in the play, was shocked by the sight. He didn't expect that human thing to have such ability.
He couldn't help but admire in his heart, maybe His Majesty the Demon God was right, that guy was indeed a talent and could do things that he couldn't do.
I think it was precisely for this reason that His Majesty the Demon God chose him.
While everyone was in awe, there was only one demon with no surprise on his face——
That was Sissi sitting on the treetop.
From the beginning to the end, she never doubted that Luo Yan could really do it, even though she knew that guy's true strength better than anyone else.
"Haha, stupid green monkey," looking down at Gluk who was stunned in place, Sissi did not hide the ridicule on her face, her scarlet eyes flashed slightly, "Now you know that my Lord Demon King has How powerful, right? Thank you to His Majesty the Demon God. If it hadn’t been for His Majesty the Demon God sending him here, a lowly creature like you would never have had the chance to talk to him!”
Glak did not answer.
However, the sweat that streaked across his forehead had already exposed the nervousness and lack of confidence in his heart.
As for Thanos, not to mention, the hybrid shadow demon has even begun to consider a retreat.
In the jungle not far behind Sissi, a group of little devils were making noisy noises, shouting excitedly while looking at the moonlight spreading across the entire dome.
"So beautiful..." Missy looked up at the dome with her eyes wide open, her eyes completely glued to it as if she couldn't move away.
Yossi, who was sitting next to her, laughed wildly.
"Giggle! As expected of the Demon King! He is so powerful! He is so evil!"
Especially looking at the disgusting orc's deflated appearance, she almost wanted to make up a limerick and sing it on the spot.
Hino, who was standing at the scene, saw that the atmosphere was almost brewing, so he suppressed the surprise on his face, regained his solemn expression, coughed and spoke.
"The Demon King has said that he will restore the rotation of day and night on the fourth floor of the labyrinth, and make the night longer than the day."
"As for the rest, just ask for your own blessings."
This is the last cheat sheet written in my hand.
Following the lesson learned last time, Xino did not dare to touch his chin this time, for fear that the cheat sheet written on his hand would rub off if he touched it.
Finally the play came to an end. After saying these words, he turned around and walked towards the woods behind him without looking back.
Looking at Xino who turned to leave, Brancia, who was thinking about countermeasures, was suddenly startled and shouted quickly.
"Please wait a moment!"
Hino stopped and said in a loud voice.
We are all here... at least let us meet the Demon King once, right? "
"That master is very busy, do you think you can see him whenever you want?" Xino looked at her with his nostrils and said in an arrogant tone.
He didn't need to pretend to be that arrogant person. After all, he looked like this all day long when he was in Shanghai.
Blancia only felt her scalp numb.
"The adult said that the door of Chaos is opening in front of your face, but instead of feeling a little ashamed, you are still thinking about the authority in your hands. Do you know why Chaos is targeting you? It's because the contempt and blasphemy in your hearts give them an opportunity!"
“You are not worth saving at all. It’s better to feed them with your flesh and blood and let them wreak havoc in the rear of the Os Empire. Maybe you can play a little role! If you are lucky, Chaos will swallow your souls together.” In my stomach, this is better than letting you return to the embrace of His Majesty the Demon God and pollute the soul pool of the Reincarnation Hall!” The deafening sound echoed in the forest, and Xino used the terror’s intimidation ability to the extreme.
Although the four demon generals present are stronger than him, strength is never an absolute concept. Moreover, these four are still thinking about it, and the things in their imagination have scared them into cold sweats.
Blancia swallowed hard and was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. Gluck's face showed an expression of shame, as if he was really aware of the shame.
Yusi, who was giggling a second ago, suddenly stopped laughing and looked at Missy sitting next to him tremblingly.
"Mi, Missy..."
Looking at this unintelligent colleague, Missy said helplessly.
"What's wrong with you?"
Yusi said nervously.
"Lord Demon King... He's not really going to leave us, is he?"
She doesn't want to go back to her previous life of two meals in three days.
Mixi actually couldn’t make up her mind.
"I don't know...but you don't have to worry so much. Missy thinks he won't leave our king alone."
Yossi, who was sluggish a second ago, suddenly became excited when he heard this, and reached out to hug Missy's shoulders.
"Will he bring the king back to the Demon City?! Will he bring us with him?! Is the food in the Demon City delicious? Is it true that I heard that there's so much meat there that it can't be eaten and is even used to pave roads?"
"Uh uh...then I don't know." The cerebellum short-circuited speech jumped several dimensions in a row, almost causing Missy's head to freeze.
While a few little devils were whispering and talking, Valgur looked at Xino and said in a low and hoarse voice.
"We have realized our stupidity... Please give us another chance for the sake of the fact that we are all the people of the Demon God."
"Yes..." Brancia also followed up and said, "Please give us another chance, Your Majesty the Demon King! We will prove our loyalty to him! "
"If you really think so, you should not beg me or plead for his mercy, but prove that you are worthy of saving."
Hino said expressionlessly.
"The army of Chaos is gathering."
"If you really want him to stay and help you solve the mess here, then let him see your determination."
All the lines have been memorized, and Xino has to leave now.
Throwing the four demon generals where they were, he left the woods without looking back and walked toward the tower leading to the third floor of the maze.
Watching the horror's back disappear at the end of the fog, Tyrell glanced at the dead wood cane in his hand, and then broke the silence at the scene.
"Ashamed to say, you are not the only ones standing and watching from a distance. We noticed his arrival very early and watched him from a distance very early...even inevitably with a bit of a joke."
"We don't think he is a qualified demon king, not only because he is too young, but also because he has never been here before. He is a complete outsider to us, and he does not represent our interests, but the interests of hell. We began to feel that he would not last long, and would soon go back and forth... However, the facts proved that we were wrong."
"Just when we were watching with suspicion, he had already shouldered the responsibility as the Demon King, regained his strength with the demons who were willing to follow him, ended the chaos of the labyrinth layer by layer, and cleaned up the mess that Reggie Dragon and us made together... Yes, today's situation is not entirely Dragon's fault, it is also our responsibility, but we have forgotten it."
"I realized this while watching with cold eyes. And when I realized it, I was ashamed to find... He who came from the deepest part of hell actually did more for this maze than us living here, and those things were originally our responsibility." When he said this, Tyrell sighed softly, and then the expression on his face gradually became serious, and he said in a solemn voice.
"The Gray Wind Tribe will summon all warriors to obey his command, whether he is still willing to lead us on or not."
"The same goes for the Land of Nightmares. We will always obey his orders," Sissi played with her nails and said in a matter-of-fact tone. "We are always ready to repel invading enemies, whether they are enemies from the surface or from the realm of chaos... unlike some soft-footed shrimps who eat nothing but corpses."
"Watch your words, little devil of the Land of Nightmares, we never argue with our lips, but with our teeth."
Valgul exhaled an inch of frost-condensed breath, spoke in a warning voice, and then turned his mountain-like body.
"The Frost Clan is also loyal to that Lord... I will lead my tribe to gather on the fifth floor of the maze, whether you come or not."
"Despair City also obeys the Demon King's orders. This is what I planned from the beginning." She said this without blushing. Brancia lowered her arms across her chest and glanced meaningfully at the orc warrior next to her. "I don't think Grak Bloodblade will stab me in the waist at this time." Knife?”
“You think of me as yourself?” Grak Bloodblade said with a dark face, “I will take my people on the expedition!”
At this time, the Shadow Demon General Thanos, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke after weighing the matter repeatedly.
"Count me in, too."
Blancia's lips curled up into a smile.
"It seems we have reached an agreement... although I always feel that we should have done this a long time ago."
I heard that the minions at the top of the labyrinth also held something called a "summit meeting," but they had never had such an open and honest discussion like today.
Thanos glanced at her, without saying a word, his figure slowly blended into the surrounding fog, and disappeared into the forest in a moment.
"You're talking so much nonsense, why not bring more guys," Gluck sneered and said mockingly, "I hope that when I see the troops in Impasse City, they won't be another group of Goblins transporting baggage."
Blanthia chuckled and stared into his eyes without giving in.
"Each other."
Those are the things that happened when Reggie Dragon fought with Archduke Campbell.
The demons in the labyrinth have never been united, but at this moment they seem to be together again, seemingly in harmony but not yet in harmony.
Tyrell couldn't help but pray silently in his heart.
Not only for the fate of the Gray Wind tribe, but also for this maze and the demon king he was quite optimistic about.
I hope it will be different this time...
