A flash of white light appeared, and two women appeared in the desert.

Philliss easily broke free from the head maid's grasp, looked at the red mark on her slender wrist, and nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad. If you had hesitated in that situation, I really wouldn't have been able to keep you here."

"This is all thanks to His Highness's teachings." The head maid broke out in a cold sweat again. With such a capricious ancestor, even one more life wouldn't be enough.

"Your Highness, let's hurry back to the capital. The demon army is almost here," the head maid tentatively requested.

“Your tone was too weak.” Phillis frowned in displeasure, but this time she didn’t pursue the matter further. Just as the head maid’s expression changed in fright, Phillis had already turned and started climbing the sand dune to the side.

"Role-playing is temporarily suspended. From now on, follow my orders completely." Phillis's tone returned to its cold and authoritative manner.

"Yes." The head maid dared not disobey.

After taking a couple of steps in the sand, Phillis seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, so she casually took off her high heels and continued climbing barefoot.

Philliss strode lightly and quickly reached the top of the sand dune. The head maid promptly opened the Wind Barrier for her, protecting her from the sandstorm.

Phillis blinked his beautiful yet dignified golden eyes and gazed into the distance.

She could see the desolate city in its entirety, and further ahead, a dense mass of black dots had begun to occupy this yellow land.

Philliss's face began to flush. Pointing ahead, she said with great excitement, "Remember this historic moment; it will usher in a new era."

"Help!" Wu Yu frantically flailed his right hand in mid-air, like a drowning person desperately trying to grab a lifeline. Wu Yu also wanted to grab onto something for support, but unfortunately, there was only air in the air. As expected, Wu Yu fell to the ground, landing on his buttocks.

In contrast, Jack, despite having two burdens in his hands, still stood firmly on the ground.

Fortunately, Wu Yu fell less than three meters off the ground, and since the ground below was sandy, he was only a little sore in the buttocks and otherwise unharmed.

"Let go." Seeing that Wu Yu was still holding on tightly after they landed, Jack frowned.

"Oh, oh, sorry." Wu Yu realized what had happened and awkwardly let go of his hand. He quickly looked around, but when he saw the city wall behind him, he froze. "Wait, is this the legendary one-centimeter teleport? How come we're still here?"

“Without my [Blink] scroll, we wouldn’t even be able to leave the city. Not to mention that the spatial blockade inside the city wasn’t open enough to use the teleportation array just now. Do you think I’m the kind of rich man who can afford a teleportation scroll?” Jack rolled his eyes at Wu Yu and said irritably.

“I think it’s quite similar.” Wu Yu nodded seriously. In his opinion, Jack was like an omnipotent wish-granting machine. No one would doubt his correctness until he disappointed them.

"Stop talking nonsense, or you won't be able to escape later." Jack wasn't one to waste words, so after reminding Wu Yu, he grabbed Jerry and started running.

"Wait for me!" Knowing full well that he was not physically strong, Wu Yu could only follow behind Jack and plead desperately.

The three hadn't run far when Jack suddenly stopped.

"What are you doing? Run!" Even though Wu Yu was almost out of breath, he showed no sign of stopping.

"Wait a moment, I need to confirm the strength of the demons," Jack explained, then looked solemnly behind Wu Yu.

Wu Yu turned around. He could still see the towering city walls of the desolate city, and the semi-transparent membrane covering the sky should be the so-called city protection formation.

But Wu Yu saw something else: a ferocious dragon head that stretched over the city wall, indifferently looking down at the masses in the city.

Good heavens, Wu Yu remembered that the city wall was over ten meters high, and the monster, standing over twenty meters tall, was enough to shatter any human desire to resist with its sheer visual impact. Was this the strength of the demon army? Jack's assessment of its unparalleled power was indeed correct.

"Jack, how long do you think the desolate city can hold out against this black dragon?" Wu Yu asked seriously.

Jack stared intently at the dragon head, his face ashen, and he spoke in a trembling voice.

"The only dragon race in the Demon Realm, the Purgatory Black Dragon, possesses the same characteristics as other dragon races. Once it reaches adulthood, it will inevitably advance to the seventh-tier legendary level. How could such a high-level race become someone else's mount? Aren't epic-level demons unable to pass through the seal of the spatial passage? Could it be that..."

Because the guess was too audacious, Jack didn't even dare to say it aloud.

Wu Yu also noticed that there was a black mist on the huge dragon head. The black mist was only the size of an ordinary human figure, and it was too inconspicuous compared to the dragon head, which was no less than a giant truck. In addition, Wu Yu was too far away from it, and he only noticed it when Jack reminded him.

"Demon King."

As this term, which he had seen countless times in past anime, came out of his mouth, Wu Yu's body began to tremble. When did that synonym for loser plant the seed of fear in his heart, or was there always a fear of such a powerful creature in his genes?
