As long as I don't have to kneel, what's a few soft words? Besides, bowing to the Lord of Hell isn't shameful.
The Great Demon King even felt a vague sense of honor at being killed by the Skeleton Roc.
As for the others behind the Great Demon King, Jiang Hao didn't need to intervene, and naturally, they didn't make any such requests.
During the event to defeat the final giant boss, although the Great Demon King joined the battle, only a small number of players from the entire Heavenly Punishment Guild participated. Only about two hundred people who were closely related to the Great Demon King received the three-star Heart of Slaughter reward.
After entering the second phase, these people returned to their original beginner village groups, so now only a few dozen players with a three-star killing intent are following him. Facing more than three thousand players from the Ice and Snow World, what chance do they have of winning?
So they stood there obediently, neither fighting nor bothering to defend themselves. The ordinary players behind them were the same.
With a thought, Jiang Hao summoned the Skeleton Tiger King, which leaped down from the belly of the Skeleton Roc beside him and then walked toward the Great Demon King.
The Great Demon King, realizing something was wrong, hurriedly said, "Hey, hey, isn't there a mistake? Isn't it supposed to be a giant skeleton bird?"
"What are you thinking? Do you think I need the Skeleton Roc to kill you? The Skeleton Tiger King is enough. Aren't gold-level summons enough for you to brag about? Die!"
No sooner had Jiang Hao finished speaking than the Skeleton Tiger King slapped the Great Demon King across the face. The Great Demon King's unwilling expression froze instantly, his health bar was emptied, and with a flash of light, he left the arena.
Then, the Skeleton Tiger King swaggered back to Jiang Hao's left side, rubbed its skull head against Jiang Hao's arm, and lazily lay down.
Tian Sheng Wo Cai couldn't help but shrink his eyes. He had clearly seen the Skeleton Tiger King's attack just now; the damage was over 2.7 million! And the reflected damage only caused the Skeleton Tiger King's health bar to move almost imperceptibly before it was fully restored.
Terrifying! Terrifying!
Tian Sheng Wo Cai quickly bypassed Jiang Hao and stood to Jiang Hao's right. He dared not get too close to the Skeleton Tiger King.
The players in the Ice and Snow World finally made their move, and moments later, the entire No. 001 beginner village in the Shanghai district was wiped out.
"Congratulations to the No. 006 Beginner Village in Shanghai District for becoming the Village of the King of Heroes. All surviving players will receive a two-star King of Heroes title as a reward."
"Huh? Wasn't it supposed to be a one-star King of Heroes title? How did it become two stars?"
Jiang Hao remembered clearly that the city lord of Jinling City had said that if he could obtain the one-star title of King of Warriors, the mission on this battlefield of slaughter would be considered complete. But now, due to an unexpected turn of events, he only obtained the two-star title, and he didn't know if the mission was completed.
What Jiang Hao didn't know was that the title of a two-star hero was far more prestigious than that of a one-star hero! He hadn't just completed the mission; he had exceeded expectations!
Jiang Hao was filled with trepidation, while the players in the beginner village were all excited. Although they didn't know what the title of King of Warriors was for, as a reward for the final stage of the killing battlefield, it couldn't be too bad, right?
Jiang Hao felt that he had failed to complete the mission this time and wanted to make up for it, but now that the killing battlefield was over, he was powerless to do anything about it.
"A sufficient number of warriors have been detected on the arena. The Warrior Village will now proceed with the King of Warriors Challenge. If the challenge is successful, the King of Warriors title will be upgraded. Warriors, please prepare yourselves."
The system notification sounded, and Jiang Hao was overjoyed; there was still a chance.
The players in the beginner village were thrilled. They loved challenges; the harder the challenge, the higher the reward. As for whether they could pass the challenges, they weren't worried at all. With the Lord of Hell around, he was sure to pass any challenge; they just needed to obey.
Five minutes later, the arena flashed with light, and 20 level 31 monsters appeared. They exuded an oppressive aura that would make ordinary players kneel, and their sudden appearance before the players made their chests feel tight.
The oppressive aura emanating from each monster was the same as when they fought the giant bosses before. Although these monsters were only two or three meters tall, far smaller than the giant monsters, their oppressive presence was no less. Now, with 20 such monsters suddenly appearing on the arena, the players felt their scalps tingle and their legs tremble involuntarily.
Epic!
This was something Jiang Hao confirmed after casting a detection spell on the monsters opposite him. Moreover, the monsters opposite him were not individual monsters, but four five-person squads with class combinations and skill synergies.
One team consisted of jackal-men with wolf heads and human bodies, another team consisted of siren-men with human bodies and snake tails, a team consisted of bird-men with wings on their backs, and a team consisted of orc-men with horns on their heads.
Among them were warriors, mages, archers, assassins, priests, and summoners. These weren't monsters at all; they were clearly professional warriors in monster skins. And they were epic-level beings.
Is the upgrade challenge really that difficult?
With this configuration, even if you brought in the five-nation coalition forces from the fortress, they would be wiped out in no time.
Damn it!
Jiang Hao immediately raised his staff and pulled a gnoll monster towards him at a rate of nearly 100 times per second. Then came the second, the third, and so on. At the same time, the monsters opposite began to move rapidly towards them. The players in the newbie village, although they couldn't even see the monsters, didn't panic. They formed a defensive formation and waited for the monsters to charge.
The monster charged, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of warriors from the Ice and Snow World Guild were eliminated from the arena. The epic-level monster, while not possessing particularly high attack power, was incredibly fast. Lacking percentage-based damage reduction skills and exceptionally high defense, the dozens of warriors were instantly reduced to low health. Before the priests could even heal them, the warriors' health bars were emptied, and they were eliminated from the battlefield.
On the other side, after Jiang Hao pulled the three gnolls over and subdued them, the birdman squad had already set their sights on Jiang Hao. With a flap of their wings, they charged towards him.
Jiang Hao's heart skipped a beat, and five skeletal roc birds immediately charged towards them. Dark gold-level skeletal monsters were no match for an epic-level professional team. However, despite their health bars being nearly depleted, these skeletal roc birds managed to subdue the five birdmen.
Jiang Hao pulled over two more gnoll monsters. Turning his head, he saw five siren with human heads and snake tails, as well as a squad of five orcs. In a short while, he had already killed dozens of warrior players. He immediately increased the speed at which he was pulling monsters.
In less than half a second, Jiang Hao pulled all 20 monsters to his side.
