Good heavens, El must thank that dead Demon King; this legacy is so delightful.
"By the way, speaking of which, the Holy Sword and the Demon King's Crown are actually quite similar, aren't they?"
He picked up the holy sword stuck in the ground. Because it had not been recognized, the only characteristics the sword showed to El were its sharpness and immortality.
As a tool that allows both the hero and the demon king to ascend to heaven by stepping on each other's feet, the Holy Sword has accumulated extremely terrifying power. Moreover, the design of the first hero ensures that the Holy Sword's strengthening speed will be faster than that of the Demon King's Crown.
In this way, no matter how much the Demon King strengthens himself, he will never be able to stand a chance against the Hero.
"This is the fate of the Holy Sword and the Demon King's Crown being entangled. How should I describe it? A pair of star-crossed lovers? That doesn't seem like the right word."
Because of the benefits brought by the Demon King's Crown, El had a fleeting thought about whether he could eat the Holy Sword.
Let's see what the Holy Sword tastes like and what benefits it can bring.
However, he eventually gave up on the idea.
First of all, the Holy Sword and the Demon King's Crown are not the same. The latter is a trophy obtained by defeating the Demon King, so it doesn't matter what you do with it. However, the former is a symbol of the hero's legacy, and El grew up listening to stories of heroes, so it feels like a waste to destroy it.
Secondly, the Holy Sword is the best kitchen knife El has ever found; its immortality attribute is fantastic.
Without the Holy Sword, other kitchen knives don't feel quite right for cutting meat, chopping bones, or smashing garlic.
"So let's leave it at that. We'll keep the Holy Sword for now. Anyway, the Demon King has been dealt with, and there won't be any new Demon Kings in the future."
He looked to his right, where the Demon King's castle still stood stubbornly.
The battle just now was devastating. Although the Demon King was being attacked unilaterally, the aftershocks of the battle completely changed the terrain, and the ground level dropped significantly.
This demon king's castle, however, managed to hold on.
"It looks unusual. Some seniors have mentioned digging tunnels there. Let's go check it out."
[You, El Wayne, defeated the Demon King as a hero and utterly destroyed the Demon Clan's most precious treasure—the Demon King's Crown.]
This means that the Demon King's legacy will not continue within the Demon Clan, and the Demon King's threat appears to have been eliminated.
Enjoy the joy of victory. Since you're just killing time anyway, explore the Demon King's castle and unlock the entire map of this important checkpoint.
This trip lasted three days. You not only explored every nook and cranny of the Demon King's castle, but you also renovated it, changing its appearance to the way you wanted it to be.
Incidentally, I also dug a tunnel near the tunnel of the previous hero.
"OK, all done and that's it. These demons are really something. Not only are they all dressed in a dark style, but there are also bones and bloodstains. Wouldn't the Demon King be disgusted if he saw them in there?"
And those traps, his own warehouse, even his bedroom—they're all set up with magical traps. Even the Demon King has to be extremely careful when he goes home, right?
El's complaints weren't without merit; the decorations with bones and bloodstains were one thing, but the traps were just too outrageous.
There are ten different mechanisms that can be triggered if you walk directly on a certain section of the road. You must press a certain brick on one side of the road to take another path to bypass it.
The Demon King's bedroom bed can't be slept on directly; the lamp must be turned off first, otherwise a guillotine will come and chop you down from the side.
Even the toilets inside the Demon King's castle have teleportation traps that randomly send people to any corner of the castle.
El put in a lot of effort to optimize these mechanisms and enhance their "fun factor".
When the next person enters and finds that the door cannot be opened from this side, the elevator platform cannot be started at the bottom, and the treasure chests on the roadside are actually traps modeled after the treasure chest monster, they will have to go through many trials to reach the treasure vault or a rest area.
This will trigger a teleportation trap, sending the player back to their starting point.
Oh, and by the way, El also changed the Demon King's Castle's original dark style; now the exterior is painted pink.
"I really am a good person..."
