"Cough cough!"
As the shockwave swept through, Xiao Han, who was thrown into the air, coughed up blood, which ignited into demonic flames that danced and dispersed the dust and mist left by the explosion.
As the second sword shadow blasted past, he was once again incredibly lucky to trigger a double sword shadow, causing Xiao Han to retreat rapidly after unleashing his third sword strike!
"Thump thump thump thump thump thump!"
With the background music from "Animal World" playing, Xiao Han was almost invincible, seizing the initiative in the battle and blinding Bishop Nord to all-around vision.
In addition, the Serpent Wing Ring's crowd control provided Xiao Han with a stable output environment, allowing him to barely manage to defeat the Nord Bishop.
As for why it was "reluctantly"...
His gaze sharpened, and he flung out three blazing spears, striking the mutated figure in the dust and mist. The figure tore apart a corpse and swallowed it whole.
Health bar: 2%!
In an instant, it climbed to 5%!
"roar!"
The next moment, a roar erupted, the sharp howl shattering the blazing spear and dispersing the dust. Stepping out was the figure of Bishop Nord, draped in a blood-stained white robe, his face expressionless, but his raised eyes were like the darkest haze, like a venomous snake in the shadows, staring at Xiao Han.
"You are the Demon King."
His dark eyes narrowed slightly, becoming as sharp as an eagle's, as he saw through Xiao Han's true form.
"That's right, I am indeed a sage of the Knights Alliance."
Xiao Han stroked the Flame Fang, his whole body wrapped in a phoenix feather robe, and stepped on the destroyed wasteland, speaking in a serious tone.
His expression of deep agreement made Bishop Nord swallow back what he wanted to say, and as he drank the fine potion, he swung out three blazing spears.
Bishop Nord raised his hand and crushed the attack. His cold eyes were fixed on Xiao Han, his thoughts complicated.
The attitude is clear: this so-called novice demon king, disguised as a sage, harbors a greater purpose, not only to steal the ripe fruits of his labor, but also to seize his divine power.
So confident and fearless, who is the old rival from the abyss who is supporting him?
He gave Xiao Han a deep look and memorized his appearance.
He had already lost the game from the very beginning.
His meticulously planned scheme, built over a century, was destroyed layer by layer. Even though he was determined to change his fate, he was powerless to reverse it.
He could sense that this was a sword strike that had been delivered months ago, crossing the river of time to hit him. Even the Gluttony Ring, of extraordinary quality, paled in comparison to the sword's aura.
The [Self-Healing - Advanced] ability bestowed by the Demon God was temporarily sealed by the curse contained in that sword strike, forcing him to use the first stage of the [Glutton] sequence potential to devour corpses and heal his injuries.
Unfortunately, only one corpse was blasted apart by the Doomsday Bell; the demonic insects, zombies, and other creatures were burned by the demonic flames...
All these signs indicate that the demon lurking in the abyss has a thorough understanding of the sequence potential bestowed by the Great Demon God of Gluttony.
Jealousy, arrogance...
It is also an unknown demon god who has fallen even deeper into the abyss...
Or perhaps,
Is it the realm of gods, the origin and end of all things?!
In an instant, the demonic will controlling Bishop Nord deduced many secrets.
After all, he wasn't the only great demon god plotting to seize the lands of Northern Europe...
Upon hearing this, Minise, who was stepping through the void and covered in blood-scale armor, stared warily at Bishop Nord, but her peripheral vision fell on Xiao Han.
Within her body, at the moment the doomsday tolls, the bloodline of the Demon King gradually awakens. This is a portion of divine power that Francis stole from a high-level demon seed. In his union with Mirabella, Minise was born, thus breaking the Demon God's deadlock.
Otherwise, even if Francis dies, the demon god, through the blood curse, will replace Minise with her father, turning her into nourishment for the demon king, and she will ultimately die.
Therefore, only by mastering the Demon King's bloodline power can one kill the Gluttonous Demon King.
Although this hope is slim, it is still much better than utter despair.
"Don't worry, even if you have fallen into the demon race, as long as you pay me three hundred gold wolves, I, as a novice sage, may consider letting you go."
Xiao Han waved his hand, meeting Minnie's cold gaze, and said in a friendly manner, "Or, you could help me take on part of the debt. I prefer the second option. What do you think?"
"If that's the case, then I wouldn't mind joining forces with this bishop to take you down."
Minise smiled calmly, showing no fear of a sage's intimidation.
However, although Xiao Han was joking, his attention was always on Bishop Nord.
"I will remember you, you despicable thief."
Bishop Nord uttered a harsh remark, and a deep rift was torn open behind him, his figure disappearing into it.
His plan was thwarted. Although he had entered the third stage, the Gluttony Ring was destroyed, and he could not even unleash the sequence potential [Glutton's Wrath]!
That hostile demon god, being shrewd and far-sighted, would surely inform his true self to thoroughly investigate this potential threat, given that he was acting as an avatar.
As for this demon king who impersonated a sage...
Heh, although he has no power in the Nordic region, he pays a portion of the benefits to drive the Norse gods or the four demon kings who occupy the Nordic region to act on his behalf. Even if they can't kill the demon king, they will still cause trouble and hinder his development.
Otherwise, it will ultimately displease him.
Just as he stepped into the abyss and was about to abandon Titan City, the Gluttony Ring on his finger suddenly reacted, much to the delight of the Nordic bishop.
With the resurrection of the Ring, he has a chance, and even if there are traps ahead, he is confident that he can take back what is his!
"Smack!"
Just as the abyssal rift was about to close, the Ring of Gluttony sprang down, landed on the ground with a somersault, stood upright, and then, in his frozen expression, rolled away in a flash!
Run away! ! Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
Xiao Han made a clenched fist, and a stream of seven-colored light poured out as he snatched the Gluttony Ring from Xiao Han.
He wrapped his hands in the burning flames of the Ring to prevent anything strange from happening to it, then glanced at the frozen Nordic bishop.
In an instant, Bishop Nord deciphered the other party's meaning from the questioning look in his eyes.
Hurry up and move along, what are you standing there for?
Bishop Nord: "O__O"
I'm fucking...
I've given up on arguing with you. You can keep the wealth and go home. Before you leave, you even stripped me of my equipment!
I might not be human...
But you're a real dog! (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻
He glared at Xiao Han in shock and anger, but for some reason, the Gluttony Ring slipped from his grasp and he did not give chase.
He wasn't stupid. The other party was deliberately provoking his anger, making him rush in blindly and get killed by a trap!
Therefore, he could only express his strong condemnation of the novice demon king's theft with an angry and contemptuous look, snort coldly, and leave.
"Ding! The final mission of Volume One has been completed!"
"That's it? What about the reward?"
"Hmm, that's all ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭"
"..."
