Who says becoming a Demon Lord means blindly following a trope and being invincible all the way? Who says a Demon Lord's harem must consist of a large number of girls, or even include a cross-d...
You don't believe me?
I believe you.
Minnie waved her hand, a smile playing on her cherry-red lips.
Just as she had expected, the little fox would not easily reveal her true thoughts, even if the necromancer betrayed her.
This led her to reluctantly give up the idea of conquering the little fox, since there would be other opportunities later.
"roar!"
Suddenly, from the top of the building, a huge reptile stained with dirty black blood darted out, like a hunter in the shadows, launching a fatal attack on its prey!
Its mouth resembled a blooming six-petaled flower, entwined with tiny, cracked teeth. Three or four scarlet tentacles shot out from the center, containing astonishing power to tear apart prey, like a hidden arrow striking!
"call out!"
With a roar, Flame Fang unleashed a blazing white lightning sword aura, carrying incomparably sharp damage, which slashed the reptile away!
To Xiao Han's surprise, the reptile's defense was beyond his expectations; it was not killed by the sword energy.
"Bang!"
The reptile crashed into the wall, its barrel-like body bearing only a few scratches.
A bunch of wriggling tentacles grew on that hard, grayish-black, bag-like body. Apart from those tentacles that stretched out and explored everywhere, they had almost no distinguishable features, but their bodies were covered with a layer of small, fish-scale-like scales, as if they were wearing heavy fish scale armor.
It was this evolved armor that protected the reptile from being instantly killed.
Within Xiao Han's crimson demonic eyes, a section of the crawler's interface information appeared:
Name: Guagua (Choosing a name is such a hassle)
Race: Carpenter beetle (lower species)
Class: A defensive, stealthy assassin
Rank: Silver Tier 4 (Mid-stage)
Skills: [Crack Fang] (Bronze Rank), [Steel Scale] (Silver Rank)
Talent: [Thick Skin and Tough Flesh]
Potential: Not yet unlocked (looks like it has a lot of meat on it).
Skill Tree: Unawakened (Maybe it can be used to make soup~)
[These weaklings on the 24th floor of the Abyss Demon Realm are easy prey for me; I could crush hundreds of them with a single claw strike.]
"Demon from the Abyss, the first wave of cannon fodder in the invasion, I'll use you as a sacrifice to the heavens!"
Xiao Han sorted out his thoughts and instantly unleashed three blazing spears!
"call out!"
The sharp spear tip tore through the air, like a fiery dragon raging in the night sky, with astonishing speed, reaching 100 meters per second!
The three spears, within a distance of less than twenty meters, reached the front of the fanged beetle. The fish-scale-like armor, impenetrable to blades and spears, could not withstand one of the spears that triggered a 20% armor penetration rate. It pierced through the beetle, bursting into a burst of fire and triggering an additional 100% critical hit effect!
Soon, the body of the split-toothed beetle was torn in half. Compared to its hard outer scales, the inside was soft flesh and blood. Under the full power of the Demon King's body, blood splattered and it almost died!
But demons have always been incredibly resilient, let alone the lowly demons struggling to survive at the bottom!
However, the next moment, the demonic flames contained within the Blazing Spear erupted, igniting the Rifttooth Worm and burning its exposed, juicy fat, which sizzled as it was roasted.
"The first vanguard of the demon race has arrived. It seems the situation is not good. We must hurry."
Seeing this, Minnie spoke, and a pair of amethyst wings shot out from her snow-white back hidden by her white dress. With her slender fingers, she summoned a longsword, and in an instant, accompanied by a whirlwind of wings, she flew directly over!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Han crushed the Rifttooth Worm to dust and then unleashed a burst of energy from his feet, following closely behind.
Along the way, they also encountered the appearance of the Rifttooth Worms, not only sneaking in from the direction of the Divine Court Church, but also from the mutated walls of Titan City. The flesh and blood intertwined to produce worm eggs, which, fed on the flesh and blood, quickly grew to the level of bronze-tier combat power!
This scene was terrifying, and the fanged worms that secretly hunted their prey were just one type, serving as meat shields. The other worms displayed their might, spewing flames that could travel dozens of meters, releasing large-scale poisonous mists, and splashing mouthfuls of rotting acid. There was also a type of worm that shot arrows by pulling its muscle fibers, hiding in the shadows and causing the guardians of the Order's defense line a lot of trouble.
Worms, the initial state of demons, evolve along different paths depending on their potential and living environment.
Xiao Han's senses were sharp, and he sensed the battle between the guards and the demons, causing his expression to stiffen.
The battle horns, the defiant roars, the mournful cries, the towering flames of war, the prayers of the inhabitants, the weeping of children, the utter despair born of terror…
However, with the presence of several supreme experts, the situation was greatly alleviated. In particular, the legendary figure Francis of Titan City killed the black behemoth, which weakened the demon invasion and reduced the frequency of the worms' reinforcements, giving the professionals on the Order Guardian's defensive line a chance to catch their breath.
Unfortunately, the city walls have been altered, poisonous creatures have taken hold, and enemies are coming from all sides!
Located in the northern part of the city center, the Divine Court was swarming with a large number of zombies and undead, who, together with the poisonous creatures on the four city walls, attacked the Order's defensive line established by a group of powerful individuals.
During the buffer period that Francis gained, a meeting was held at the Violet Garden with the participation of Titan City's high-ranking officials to discuss countermeasures with various forces in Titan City and overcome this difficulty.
"With the power gained from defeating the black behemoth, my bastard father is probably more interested in more than just resolving the crisis in Titan City."
Minnie's figure was light and agile, accompanied by a gust of wind, and she was very fast!
She keenly sensed that this summoning meeting was unusual. The demon invasion and the blockade of Titan City happened on the very night she had a falling out with the Tulip family. If it was just a coincidence, she was already 90% suspicious.
Because Titan City was facing a major crisis and was under complete lockdown, she was forced to abandon her subsequent action plans, step forward, participate in this meeting, and overcome the difficulties together.
But she believed that her father, a cunning and ruthless figure in Titan City, had ulterior motives. He wanted to use this meeting to seize resources, coordinate manpower, further enhance Tulip's influence, and pave the way for taking over Titan City.
After all, the Divine Court, the greatest threat, was destroyed by the Demon Clan, and the Gubang family suffered from a series of financial mismanagement issues, resulting in the injury of three of its top experts. In addition, there was an inside agent secretly taking action, so they were not a threat.
With these thoughts in mind, Minnie pursed her lips slightly. At the turn ahead, her clear peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Xiao Han running closely behind.
Almost forgot, the little fox appears harmless on the surface, but in reality, he possesses the fighting power to kill Brian, which is a good bargaining chip.
During the flight, Minise kept thinking, speculating on Francis's motives, even using the little fox as a bargaining chip.
The meeting at Zilu Garden was not as peaceful as it appeared on the surface. Various forces were stirring up trouble, and the most complex issue was people's hearts. The key to the change in people's hearts was interests.
The root of the distribution of benefits lies in the power to speak at meetings, which comes from the power possessed by those in power!
In a civilization of swords and magic, strength is the fundamental determinant of everything!
