Chapter 78 The Demon King of Pride and Lies
The dark corridor is winding and deep, and no one knows where it leads to.
The walls on both sides are made of black stone bricks with dense moss growing on the surface.
There are blue torches lighting up the area at regular intervals.
It makes this place look like just an ancient and ordinary passage.
However, if you consider the skeletons floating in the air around you, everything that seems ordinary becomes extremely terrifying.
In the dim light, these skeletons were transparent like ghosts, clad in tattered robes, silent and motionless, some floating at the top of the corridor, while others protruding from the surface of the stone wall.
When Andy passed by, those empty eyes would stare at him quietly from all directions, with a horrifying dead silence in their eyes.
A certain idiotic evil spirit shuddered at this.
That's not to say that it knows what fear is, but it is trembling based on instinct.
In other words, every skeleton ghost here has enough power to crush it to death.
There were tens of thousands of them scattered all over the corridor! But the strange thing was that they were supposed to be guarding this place, but they ignored Andy, the intruder.
Not only did they not stop or even hurt him, some of the creatures that emerged from the ground and had their faces stepped on by Andy as he passed by didn't even react at all.
Andy also ignored the dark monsters around him, and didn't worry about what would happen next.
He walked here leisurely, his expression normal, as if he was strolling in his own garden.
While on the road, when you come across a fork in the road, you can choose one without hesitation.
Safely and steadily, he passed through the corridors, halls, secret rooms, and even the terrifying path covered with lava...
Andy finally came to the edge of a cliff.
The surrounding light is dim, and there are some glowing fungi growing on the rock wall for illumination.
Looking around, everything below the cliff seems as vast as an underground world.
And in the deepest part of this dark area, a magnificent pyramid that is completely dark gold in color and has mysterious patterns that emit light is quietly existing.
"Josiah York..."
"Using my pet dog's name as a pseudonym, Lisgarz."
He murmured, "You are so interesting."
As soon as these words were spoken, the magnificent and huge pyramid began to tremble suddenly, as if something inside was awakened.
Or... in fear?
…
On the other side, the Queen has already set foot on York soil.
Before the great changes happened, she had already placed a ray of her spirit on the maid, and then instructed the maid and the crown prince's teacher to go to York together.
This behavior was originally intended to find the husband.
But when the sudden and terrifying celestial phenomenon occurred, her real body, through some mysterious connection, used this distraction and instantly appeared in the "Returning Home Group".
Then, under everyone's stunned gaze, she disappeared in an instant! When she appeared again, the Queen had already arrived at the York family.
"His Majesty."
The blond Duke had been waiting outside the cemetery building. Upon seeing this, he immediately knelt on one knee with a serious expression.
"The Seventh Dragon Riders are all in position, awaiting your orders."
In the dark sky under the black curtain, there were indeed dense flocks of "flying birds" flying and dancing around here.
It was huge, and there seemed to be several thousand of them.
The waves of invisible dragon power made all life on the surface of the earth tremble in fear, and they felt the fear coming from deep in their bones.
However, few people knew that at this moment, these dragon knights were ready to sacrifice themselves as if they were facing a formidable enemy! After looking up at them, the slender queen motioned Anjou to stand up, and then asked about the details with a frown on her face.
The incident happened suddenly, and she didn't even have time to think about why beings of the Seven Demon Kings' level could ignore the rules of hell and appear in front of them -
You know, this kind of thing hasn't happened for more than a thousand years!
The development of modern civilization requires a relatively stable environment. If there is a devastating disaster every now and then, the human beings today are probably still living in the Middle Ages.
It is even more impossible for extraordinary beings to be hidden from the public eye.
But even though it was hard to believe, the facts were before her and she had no time to question them.
So now, apart from considering how to resolve this extremely dangerous disaster that could even cause the death of her, the emperor, she no longer had any other thoughts.
She didn't even bother to care whether the traitor had made the wrong target.
In other words, she had completely lost hope in the so-called hunting plan.
"I have ordered the astrologers to be prepared to use that thing."
After listening to the report, the Queen said to the blond Duke in a calm tone: "Even the Demon King cannot maintain his full strength after descending upon us. If necessary, we will perish together with it."
These words made the Duke of Anjou's face change, and he then wanted to persuade the emperor to leave the scene, but the other party turned around and asked about other arrangements.
Mainly related to the House of York.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After all, they cannot escape the connection with the existence of the Demon King, and they must know some of the inside stories.
Unfortunately, the Duke's answer was of little substance.
"The head of the York family knows very little information, and he doesn't even know what level the demon is. He only said that this matter is related to the last king, Josiah York. Because they are afraid of being implicated, they have always covered it up in private."
"But he doesn't know where the devil is hiding. If there is any contact, it's the devil that takes the initiative to contact him."
"York doesn't know either..."
The Queen frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Did Andy say anything before he disappeared?"
Even York didn't know something, but that gentleman knew it.
Although I don't think the hunt can continue, I'm not even sure whether the gentleman has found the wrong target or deliberately awakened the Demon King.
But maybe knowing some of these clues will be of some help?
"He said something, using the ancient demon language."
The Duke of Anjou replied: "But the translation of that sentence means to issue a challenge, which seems a bit confusing..."
Although it is impossible to trace back history, there were many people at the scene at that time.
With them retelling the stories or even using supernatural means to extract memories, many details naturally could not escape the attention of investigators.
"Issuing a challenge?"
The queen was startled when she heard this, and then her brows frowned even more tightly.
Because she already understood who they were facing now.
"Lisgards."
"Lisgaz, the demon lord of arrogance and lies."
Lisgaz among the Seven Demon Kings? The Duke of Anjou was stunned.
Then, a possibility suddenly flashed through her mind.
"Issuing a challenge means... Andy, Andy is challenging the authority of the Demon King!?"
Realizing this, her eyes widened instantly, feeling extremely incredible.
…
There are seven demon kings in hell, but these seven demon kings are not static.
Their power comes from the authority they hold.
But this authority can be taken away.
As long as the person who seizes power can prove that he is more proficient than the devil in the field corresponding to power! Thank you for your voting support~ There will be updates around 12 o'clock in the evening~ (End of this chapter)
