Chapter 258 Did I really kill him? !
Standing on the terrace, Luo Yan's expression remained unchanged, but it was definitely not because of the bond between father and son, but because of confusion.
? ? ?
What's going on? !
I beat Zacro?
Luo Yan lowered his head and glanced at the wand in his hand, his heart filled with an indescribable sense of absurdity.
"Yuyou..."
Yuyou, who had been watching the play from beginning to end, was also stunned, and it took a long time to come back to her senses.
「怎，怎么了？！魔王大人？」
罗炎也是一样，好久才憋出来一句话。
…"What did you do?"
"How is it possible... I don't have that ability! Oh!!! Master! You have been upgraded!!" Youyou answered dumbfounded, and suddenly she screamed in shock.
As if to prove it to his master, Yuyou took the initiative to hand over the attribute panel.
A dark green dialog box appeared in front of Luo Yan, reflecting the weirdness and inexplicability on his face.
Good guy...
I really killed him! ?
Strength: 26
Dexterity: 27
Intelligence: 151 (+40)
Spirit: 136 (+30)
【Faith value: 1771W (+517W)】
【Daily net growth: 50073】
The cold and ruthless data explains everything.
Using the power of silver to defeat the amethyst-level powerhouse... The abundant experience directly allowed him to upgrade to more than ten levels in a row, and he suddenly stepped onto the threshold of the gold level!
Luo Yan didn't even have time to miss the two-digit attribute panel. He saw that his intelligence and spirit jumped several times, breaking the three-digit mark in one fell swoop.
The strength of the gold level has reached a higher level than that of silver. The attribute increase brought by the upgrade is actually as high as 75 points!
And that was not the only thing that shocked him.
Everyone present witnessed Zacro's death under his wand, and were so impressed by his majesty that his faith value actually jumped by 5 million points!
10 million faith points are enough to upgrade a gold-level soul to platinum...
Sudden emotions of ecstasy and confusion were so intertwined that Luo Yan's brain went blank temporarily and he was speechless for a while.
He subconsciously looked at the blood-red temple, trying to find the answer. However, after waiting for a long time, he only waited until the blood-red temple collapsed and night fell again.
The sky above Black Wind Castle returned to tranquility, and the pressure like a raging wave quietly receded as if it had never appeared before.
His father had no intention of coming to see him.
But I think so.
From the perspective of the Colin family, it is most reasonable for him to kill Zakro himself. Otherwise, anyone else who takes action will be in trouble.
Of course, it is not ruled out that his father did not think that much, but was just as unreliable as ever.
Luo Yan didn't know what Roxey was thinking, so he could only analyze it from a rational perspective.
While he was staring at the dome that had returned to night, the players were busy taking screenshots and shouting, or looking at the Demon King on the terrace with green eyes, or rescuing injured soldiers and residents under the guidance of the mission, and some gathered around the damaged tank to discuss ways to improve it.
The injured goblins were limping to clean up the mess, or pick up some things that fell on the battlefield.
At the same time, the three demon generals who were slumped in the courtyard were completely shocked.
Looking at what was happening in front of them, their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
"Zachro...is dead?" Gerak's eyes widened, and the shock in his eyes gradually turned into ecstasy.
He laughed wildly and stood up from the ruins. Although he was covered in injuries, his excitement had completely overcome the pain, and he didn't even feel his ribs moving.
His eyes looked at Luo Yan with unconcealable enthusiasm.
The creatures in hell worship the strong, and the further away from the devil's capital, the more so.
Bloodblade clan always only worships the strongest among the clan.
Although he was impressed by the Demon King's wisdom, it was the pure power that fascinated him more.
Compared to Gluck's ecstasy, Brancia's reaction was completely opposite.
She opened her lips slightly, but found that she could not say a word.
Elder Zacro, who could knock her away with just a wave of his hand, and who could make her so frightened that she couldn't stand still with just one look, actually couldn't hold on for even a second in the hands of the Demon King!
This is——
How powerful!
A sickly flush appeared on her pale and coquettish face, and slender thorns crawled out from her wrists, sewing up the broken dress.
Blancia swallowed a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood with difficulty, and tried hard to pull herself off the wall. Then she limped to the messy muddy ground under the terrace, slowly lowered her body and knelt on one knee on the ground, her face pious and solemn, as if she was waiting for the devil to come.
"Lord Demon King...please forgive me for my incompetence and failure to act as a good guard. I still need you...to take action yourself."
Just as she finished speaking, Shadow Demon General Thanos ducked and knelt in front of Luo Yan, coughing blood miserably, and raised his pale and weak face with concern.
"Your Majesty... I hope you're fine."
That disgusting voice made Gluck couldn't help shaking the goosebumps on his body, and looked at this licking dog with disdain.
Who originally drew the teleportation array in Thunder City?
Although he has no evidence, excluding himself and Brancia, the "hidden" woman, this is the only guy who has both the ability to infiltrate Thunder City and a penchant for conspiracy.
However, Thanos did not pay attention to Gluk's disdain at all.
Use silver-level strength to obliterate amethyst-level powerhouses!
There is only one explanation -
This guy, like the lunatics of the Campbell family, is the chosen one personally appointed by the supreme god!
They came to this world with a mission!
This can explain why he received the help of a mysterious demigod-level powerhouse. This Tongtian background may not only reach the top of the Demon City, but may directly reach His Majesty the Demon God!
Luo Yan took a deep look at Thanos, not knowing what this guy was thinking about, but he just felt that the look in his eyes was weird and made him get goosebumps all over his body.
Then Luo Yan looked at his other two subordinates, his Adam's apple moved, and his hoarse voice carried an unfathomable majesty.
"You have done your best...go down and rest."
The three demons will be relieved and nod their heads.
"Yes..."
"Thank you, Lord Demon King!"
As the words fell, they disappeared from the battlefield.
At almost the same time as their front feet left, a long and hoarse neighing sound suddenly came from the distant night sky.
Suddenly a strong wind blew over the Black Wind Castle, and the sky in the distance was torn apart. Three skeletal pterosaurs suddenly penetrated the night, and their eyes burning with green soul fire overlooked the city below.
Their skeletal wings glowed with a gloomy light in the night, and every time they flapped their wings, they set off a violent flow of magic energy, bringing up the dust on the ruins of the city, making the residents of Black Wind Castle shudder in the aftermath of the disaster.
However, people’s joys and sorrows are not the same.
Looking at the skeletal pterosaur hovering in the sky, the players standing on the ground raised their heads one after another, and couldn't help shouting excitedly.
"Holy shit, bone dragon?!"
"6666!"
"I thought the dog was planning to draw a cake, but I didn't expect it to actually come out!"
Outside the Lord's Mansion, there was endless discussion.
Luo Yan looked up at the sky, but his eyes did not look at the three skeletal pterosaurs from beginning to end, but fell on the leading terror.
The huge momentum is somewhat similar to Zacro, but the strength is much weaker, probably on the same level as Professor Enos, which is the peak of diamond level.
Just when he was looking at the terror, the terror was also looking at him, its amber pupils flashing with astonishment, as if it couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
Luo Yan knew exactly why he was shocked.
When Irene relied on the Light of Praise to reach a tie with the gold-level Sissi across two levels, Sissi was equally surprised and almost had her jaw dropped.
The old housekeeper walked tremblingly to Luo Yan's side, with the joy of surviving the disaster in his eyes, and said in an excited voice.
"Master, the people from the Ministry of Truth are finally here."
"Hmm."
Luo Yan nodded, just glanced at the mess around him, and then looked at the horror that was slowly landing with flapping wings, without saying much.
With his claws touching the ground, the terror wearing jet black armor folded its wings behind him, took two steps forward and walked to the bottom of the terrace, looked at Luo Yan standing on the terrace and said in a deep voice.
"I am the Supreme Judge of the Ministry of Truth, Raheem Neflek. We received news that Zakro is here... Baron of Black Wind Castle, I need an explanation."
Luo Yan has never heard of his surname, and he must be the second son of a middle-class noble family in the Magic City.
For those high-level demon families without many titles, it is a good choice to send the second son who has no inheritance rights to the temple or the battlefield. If they can prove their piety and loyalty in the temple or on the battlefield, under extremely special circumstances, they can be promoted to a soul level while they are still alive. In special institutions like the Ministry of Truth, these few exceptions are called supreme arbiters.
They are all clergymen who have sworn a lifelong vow to the Demon God, similar to the Paladins of the Os Empire and so on.
Luo Yan looked at Lachem without any fear in his eyes and said calmly.
"As you can see, the fugitive Zacro wanted by your department deliberately retaliated and attempted to assassinate this Demon King. He not only caused chaos in the military production area, but also caused serious harm to the Demon God's people living there... The evidence of betrayal of His Majesty the Demon God is conclusive. In order to maintain the peace of hell. Order and the majesty of His Majesty the Demon God, this Demon King has already killed him and allowed his soul to return to the Demon Temple, where His Majesty the Demon God will judge his sins.”
At first hearing this official answer, Lachem didn’t react much until he heard the second part.
"...Did you kill him?"
"Yes." Luo Yan recognized it without blushing or heartbeat.
Since his father doesn't want to show up, he should identify himself for him.
It’s not a bad thing anyway.
Looking at the Supreme Judge with an uncertain expression, Luo Yan continued.
“I have already given you the explanation you want, and now I also want an explanation... Why did you not show up until now?”
Lachem was stunned for a moment, and then said.
"It's hundreds of kilometers from the Magic City to here, and we've been working hard to get here."
"That's right." Luo Yan smiled noncommittally, his expression clearly not believing what he said.
Lachem said in a deep voice.
“If you have any objections to our work, you can complain to the parliament.”
Luo Yan said lightly.
"No need, I will be there next month at the latest."
The moment he heard these words, Terror's body trembled slightly, his pupils narrowed, and he stared at Luo Yan, looking up and down, with a hint of disbelief on his face.
After a moment, his attitude suddenly softened and he lowered his voice and spoke.
"We are also acting under orders... please understand."
Luo Yan glanced at him and did not embarrass him. He just looked at the body on the ground.
"Now that the person is dead, what are you going to do with it?"
"Leave it to——"
"Leave it to me." Before Rahm Neflek could finish his answer, a frivolous and calm voice came from the night, with a hint of unhurried smile.
The voice was neither fast nor slow, but it carried some invisible pressure, making everyone present look slightly sideways.
Luo Yan raised his head and looked along the sound, only to see a man wearing dark blue noble robes walking slowly in the night not far away.
His steps were elegant and casual, as if he didn't pay attention to the chaos and chilling atmosphere of the place. His deep eyes held a careless smile, and the golden embroidery outlined the administrative seal of the Magic City on his robe, indicating his unusual identity.
Luo Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. The man's attire, conversation, and aura that could not be ignored almost instantly made him realize who the visitor was, but he was still too sure.
Lachem was also obviously stunned, with a hint of fear in his astonished expression.
“Hello, Mr. Luo Yan, nice to meet you.” The elegant and decent gentleman stretched out his right hand, with a smile on his face. Although he had an extraordinary demeanor, he did not have any airs of superiority. It was difficult not to make people like him.
Especially those charming eyes, which always gave Luo Yan a feeling of déjà vu——
He seemed to have seen them somewhere.
"I'm also pleased to meet you. May I ask who you are..." Luo Yan's voice was filled with hesitation as he held his extended right hand.
"Calamos Melusine, the Minister of Intelligence, or...the left eye of His Majesty the Demon God."
Appreciating the look of astonishment and shock on Luo Yan's face, Karamos smiled and joked in a teasing tone, "I have heard of your name for a long time, and I finally have a chance to see you today."
Looking at the intelligence minister who suddenly stepped in, Lachem was afraid, but he still gritted his teeth and whispered.
"Lord Karamos...Zacro is a fugitive wanted by our Ministry of Truth. You are making it difficult for me to do this."
Karamos looked back at him unexpectedly, and then said with an easy-going smile.
"Don't you know? Your leader has handed over the cases related to General Sebes and him to our intelligence department for processing."
"You mean... Lord Golikou?"
Lachem looked at him blankly and said blankly.
"But... what does this have to do with General Sebes?"
"The relationship is huge," Karamos said with an evil smile on his face, "This is related to the lives of 80,000 soldiers and the 'justice' of our respected Demon God."
While saying this, he gave Luo Yan a meaningful look and said with a smile.
In the center of the Demon City, deep in the temple, the green soul fire burned slowly, reflecting the obsidian dome hanging high in the temple.
Under the huge demon statue, the dark green flames reflected the empty eye sockets of the lich Golgo Sauron. He sat quietly on the throne, his figure blending into the shadows of the temple, as silent as the past hundred years.
However, the silence was quickly broken by the sound of rapid footsteps.
"Sir!"
An urgent and low voice sounded from outside the temple gate. The black and gold adjudication robes fluttered in the wind. A high-level adjudicator quickly walked into the hall, then knelt down on one knee and pressed his right fist against his chest. There was a hint of solemnity and disbelief in his voice.
"News came from Blackwind Castle, Zacro Dragon - is dead."
Goligao's soul fire trembled slightly, and the green flame swayed gently, as if it was blown by the invisible wind.
He slowly moved his gaze, with a deep light shining in his empty eyes, and repeated it softly as if to confirm.
It turned out that the person who killed him was Baron Luo Yan of Black Wind Castle! "
The soul fire burning in Corigao's eyes suddenly beat violently for a moment, and the boiling flames reflected incredible light, seeming to be digesting the huge amount of information.
Zacro... His student, the behind-the-scenes ruler who has controlled the Dragon family for a century, a terror with amethyst-level strength, actually died at the hands of a silver-level necromancer?
log over through to the hoarse whisper, the judge kowtowed his head and continued in a heavy tone.
"The news is confirmed...there is no mistake. The entire residents of Black Wind Castle are witnesses."
Goligao's body swayed slightly, and the ghostly energy flowing in the hall suddenly added a touch of sadness.
Shock, astonishment, anger, sadness, regret—thousands of emotions surged into my heart, and finally turned into a very light sigh, blending into the frost that had been silent for thousands of years.
Perhaps this day will come sooner or later, but he never thought that the day of departure would come so quickly and so suddenly.
Zacro's ability to escape under the pursuit of the Ministry of Truth is indeed his tacit approval.
After all, they were his students. They had been friends for hundreds of years and had experienced many ups and downs together.
Hence, even if the parliament and the cabinet are pressing harder, he still gives Zacro a chance to survive, giving him a chance to hide, let time dilute his sins, and let him start over with a new identity after people forget him.
However, he never expected that Zacro, instead of choosing the path he had set aside for him as he wished, would instead take advantage of his connivance again and again, and even daringly kill Black Wind Castle in an attempt to avenge Luo Yan before leaving hell.
Actually, there is nothing here.
If he really succeeded in his revenge, it would be a good thing for the Dragon family, and it would also prevent the restless human being from being coerced into the Holy Council by a group of ambitious demons.
However, the problem is that this guy actually failed!
And not only failed completely, but also lost his life!
As a demon with amethyst-level strength, and a hell general who has been on the front line through life and death, he actually lost to a mere silver-level necromancer.
Is this destiny?
Colligo's soul fire burned faintly, and finally, he slowly uttered a pale condolences.
"Perhaps this... is the devil's will."
Maybe even His Majesty the Demon God couldn't stand it anymore, so he arranged for another of His servants to take him away when he fell into madness.
Just when Corigot was about to digest all this silently, the judge sounded again with a trembling voice.
"Sir, there is one more thing..."
Goligo raised his eyes slightly, his tone indifferent.
"Say."
The judge lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "According to the message sent back by Priest Lachem, the Minister of Intelligence rushed to the scene in person and snatched Zakro's body from his hands."
——Boom!
Goligao's soul fire burned violently in an instant, as if the flames were suddenly doused with oil, beating wildly!
「Calamos!!」
He understood almost immediately what the insidious succubus was planning.
They had clearly reached a consensus and ended up with the fiasco of Porto Sardo in the name of "corruption". But now Calamos has openly betrayed their agreement!
Although the guy hasn't taken action yet, he can use his ankle bones to imagine what this guy will do next!
Especially because General Sebes is now in the hands of the Intelligence Department, and he sent it out with his own hands!
This is Chiguoguo’s deception!
Thinking of that cunning and hateful face, Corigot's finger bones clenched slightly, and tiny cracks appeared on the obsidian armrests.
The surrounding temperature dropped suddenly, and even the candles in the temple began to flicker slightly, as if they were about to go out in the next second.
Wrath surged in his soul, almost sweeping across the entire temple!
The judge who was lying on the ground was shivering, swallowing hard, suffering from the anger and majesty that seemed to come from His Majesty the Demon God himself, and groaning in his heart.
However, just when the anger reached its peak, Goligao suddenly stopped.
The burning soul fire gradually subsided, and the knuckles he clenched loosened. The cracks on the armrest slowly spread and slowly healed together, as if they had never cracked.
…That’s all.
Zacro deserves it.
Who told him to seek his own death?
Furthermore, even if there is such a big commotion, paper cannot contain the fire after all.
Colligo closed his eyes, and his furious face regained its calmness and majesty.
He sighed slowly and murmured to himself in a low voice.
"Perhaps this is also the will of the devil..."
Zacro is dead anyway, and the younger members of the Dragon family have nothing to do with him.
He didn't want to worry about this matter anymore...
The green soul fire burned slowly in the night, reflecting the silence in the temple.
On this unknown night, a huge storm centered on the Demon City, once again quietly swept through the entire hell...
