Chapter 152 Then there was light in the maze

Just as Xino finished speaking, a soft light suddenly descended from the sky and enveloped everyone's head, covering the foggy forest with a solemn and sacred coat.

Tyrael, the leader of the Grey Wind Tribe, subconsciously raised his head and looked at the dome above him, and then his eyes were filled with an expression of surprise.

The crystal on the dome looked like a lake reflecting the moonlight, with ripples like fish scales.

The bright moonlight shone into the forest, as if it were a night under a clear sky.

It's getting dark.

No--

To be precise, it is bright.

Looking at the silver ripples spreading along the dome, Tyrael's excitement was beyond description. It was as if he had seen a miracle brought down by the devil himself! The dome emitting light was back!

The moonlight that had disappeared since the end of the war once again returned to the sky above the Misty Forest, injecting vitality into the forest!

Not only that! What moved him was not only the moonlight that was once again shining in the forest, but also the hope that the bright moonlight brought him!

If he had some doubts about the young demon king before, worrying that his abilities were not enough to support his ambitions, then at this moment, he had nothing but respect and admiration in his heart!

Lighting up an entire forest of hundreds of square kilometers...

This is definitely not something an ordinary necromancer can do!

Either he received investment from a big shot in the Magic City, or he had a miracle bestowed upon him by the Demon God himself!

Now that the Misty Forest has returned to its heyday, will it be long before the entire maze is reorganized?

Praise the devil!

The Demon City has indeed not forgotten this distant frontier, and His Majesty the Demon God has indeed not given up His devout people!

Tyrael prayed in his heart.

At the same time, the withered wooden cane in Tyrael's hand moved slightly, making crackling sounds, as if stretching the stiff bones and regaining youthful vitality.

"Hahaha... this familiar feeling is finally back." A happy hum came from the cracked bark.

It was not just the dead branch that came back to life, but the entire dead forest. The rustling sound through the forest was like the swaying of leaves, and the dead trees bathed in the moonlight seemed to come alive, blooming with the power of life again.

A huge aura spread in all directions, and along with the spreading moonlight, it enveloped the demons standing in the forest.

The first to sense it was Valgur.

As an insect, it instinctively felt a tremor in front of a life that was taller than itself, and its vocal cords couldn't help but make a low humming sound.

In front of the awakening giant beast, it was like a flea on its body...even though that guy did not release the hunter's murderous intent towards him.

The big eyes embedded in the shell swam around and finally locked onto Tyrael, and then he made a sound of shock and anger.

"What did you do?"

Tyrael was also shocked by the changes in the dead wood cane in his hand. As far as he could remember, it didn't seem to be like this when Reggie Dragun was still alive.

He didn't know what happened, but he still expressed his guess in a gentle tone.

"Nothing, it's just that the ancestor we serve has woken up."

The withered wooden staff in his hand is Grey Wind, the ancestor of this branch of the night elves.

A thousand years ago, their people migrated to the present-day Thunder County with the branch that fell from the Igede Mother Tree. Then, as time passed and the Isaac Dynasty expanded, they were forced to flee from the Silver Moon Forest into the mountains. Later, they joined the First Demon King and followed him into the underground...

It was at that moment that the Misty Forest was planted.

It is no exaggeration to say that the entire misty forest is made up of “His” roots!

That pure power has surpassed power itself and even reached the realm of gods, which cannot be measured by mortal standards! Unlike Valgur, Grak was more surprised by the moonlight that filled the entire dome.

That surging power seemed to be purer than Reggie Dragun's! Even more majestic! Even more unstoppable!

That demon king...

Really just a human being?!

How strong is that guy? !

Like most orcs, he almost instinctively attributed everything he saw to the strength of the Demon Lord himself, but he did not associate it with the big figures in the Demon City or even the Demon God like Tyrael did.

Unlike him, Thanos, the "Shadow Lord" who was equally shocked, completely leaned towards the other extreme of the grand narrative.

He had heard about the power of the family behind Reggie Dragun. It was said that it was one of the most famous families in the Demon City and was only one step away from the Demon Cabinet.

And now, not only are Reggie Dragun's descendants not dissatisfied with the "arrangement of the higher-ups in Hell", they have even come here to support the new Demon King...

What a power this is! Could it be that——

Thanos' pupils widened slightly, and a possibility suddenly emerged in his mind.

This new demon king, the family standing behind him is feared by even the "powerful" Dragun family!

If we ignore the objective facts, this is indeed the most reasonable speculation.

But what is intriguing is that, although things were not what he thought, his imagination was unexpectedly closer to the truth than Grak's imagination? Luo Yan did get a lot of sponsorship from demons, including the lava worms he got from Professor Edoniya. Although he did not use the power of the Colin family, he was able to meet Professor Edoniya because of Caesar Colin's face.

Even if the letter of introduction was written by Principal Ivan.

A drop of sweat ran down Thanos' forehead, and he began to feel scared. In order to prevent the devil from arriving here, he did use some tricks.

Although he felt that he was not wrong.

In the entire maze, who didn't feel relieved when Reggie Dragun died? Who didn't feel sad when they heard that the devil had sent another devil?

He just did something that they only dared to think about but not do!

Just as Thanos was feeling anxious, Blancia just stared at the moonlit sky without saying a word.

Compared to the other three demon generals, her reaction was relatively calm, but the surprise in her purple eyes could not be hidden.

That was indeed worthy of her surprise.

After all, Reggie Dragun lit up the dome with the help of the power of the core of the labyrinth. In other words, he borrowed the power of His Majesty the Demon.

And now, the core of the maze has just been deployed, and the area of ​​influence has not even expanded to the fourth level of the maze.

No matter how he did it, it was a miracle.

Thinking of this, Blancia couldn't help but become very interested in this demon king and even changed her original idea.

The City of Despair actually doesn't care who is the ruler of the maze. All the demons living there need is a stable environment to recuperate.

Her appeal revolved around this point.

If the new demon king is not a warmongerer, but truly cares about the demon people living in this remote area, then having a demon king would not be a bad thing for her.

However, the problem now is not what she thinks, but that the Demon King seems to be extremely disappointed with the short-sightedness of her colleagues.

If Hell sent another demon king here, I'm afraid it would be hard for him to be friendlier than him...

Thinking of this, Blancia frowned slightly and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

We have to find a way to keep him here.

Everyone standing at the scene had different expressions. Even Xino, who was cooperating with Luo Yan in this play, was shocked by the scene that came into his eyes. He didn't expect that the human thing had this ability.

He couldn't help but admire in his heart, perhaps His Majesty the Demon God was right, that guy was indeed a talented person who could do things that he couldn't.

I think that's why the Demon King chose him.

While everyone was amazed, only one demon had no surprise on his face -

That is Sissi sitting on the treetop.

From the beginning to the end, she never doubted that Luo Yan could really do it, even though she knew the guy's true strength better than anyone else.

"Haha, stupid green monkey," Sissi looked down at Grak who was standing there in a daze, and did not hide the mockery on her face. Her scarlet eyes flickered with red light. "Now you know how powerful my Lord Demon is, right? Thank His Majesty the Demon God. If it weren't for His Majesty the Demon God sending him here, a lowly thing like you would never have the chance to talk to him in your life!"

Gluck did not answer.

However, the sweat running down his forehead had already exposed his nervousness and lack of confidence.

As for Thanos, there is no need to mention that the half-blood shadow demon has even begun to consider a retreat.

In the jungle not far behind Sissi, a group of little demons were chattering and shouting excitedly at the moonlight that spread across the entire dome.

"So beautiful..." Missy opened her eyes wide and looked up at the dome, her eyes completely glued to it as if she couldn't move away.

Yusi, who was sitting next to her, laughed loudly and unrestrainedly.

“Haha! As expected of the Demon King! He is simply too powerful! Simply too evil!”

Especially when she saw the nasty orc being humiliated, she almost wanted to compose a limerick and sing it on the spot.

Xino, who was standing at the scene, saw that the atmosphere was almost brewing, so he suppressed the surprise on his face, put on a solemn expression again, coughed and spoke.

"The Demon King said that he would restore the day-night cycle on the fourth floor of the labyrinth and make the night longer than the day."

"As for the rest, you're on your own."

This is the last note I wrote on my hand.

After the last lesson, Xino didn't dare to touch his chin this time, for fear that the notes written on his hand would be rubbed off by touching it.

Finally, he finished the play. After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the woods behind him without looking back.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Seeing Xino turning and leaving, Blancia, who was thinking about a countermeasure, was suddenly startled and shouted quickly.

"Please wait a moment!"

Shino stopped and said in a muffled voice.

"Anything else?"

"I think there might be some misunderstanding between us and the Demon King," Blancia forced a stiff smile on her face, "and you see we are here... at least let us meet the Demon King, right?"

"That gentleman is very busy. Do you think you can see him whenever you want?" Xino looked at her with disdain and said in an arrogant tone.

He didn't need to pretend to be so arrogant. After all, he looked like he deserved a beating all the time when he was in Shanghai.

Blancia just felt her scalp tingling.

"But……"

Xino glanced at the middle of the cheat sheet in his hand and continued to threaten in a dignified voice.

"That lord said that the door of Chaos is right in front of you, but instead of feeling the slightest bit of shame, you are still clinging to the authority in your hands. Do you know why Chaos is targeting you? It is because of the contempt and blasphemy in your hearts that gave them the opportunity to take advantage of you!"

"You are not worth saving at all. It is better to feed them with your flesh and blood and let them wreak havoc in the rear of the Os Empire. Maybe you can play a little role! If you are lucky, Chaos will swallow your souls into its stomach. This is better than letting you return to the arms of His Majesty the Demon God and pollute the soul pool of the Reincarnation Palace!"

The deafening sound echoed in the forest, and Xino brought the intimidation ability of the demon to the extreme.

Although the four demon generals present were stronger than him, strength was never an absolute concept. Moreover, these four were still imagining things, and those things they imagined were already scaring them into cold sweats.

Blancia swallowed hard, and was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. Grak's face showed a look of shame, as if he really realized the shame.

Yusi, who was giggling a second ago, suddenly stopped laughing and looked at Missy who was sitting next to him tremblingly.

"Mi, Missy..."

Looking at this stupid colleague, Missy said helplessly.

"What's wrong with you?"

Yoshi said nervously.

"Master Demon King... he's not really going to abandon us, is he?"

She didn't want to go back to her previous life of going hungry twice in three days.

Missy couldn't make up her mind.

"I don't know... But you don't have to worry so much. Missy thinks he won't abandon our king."

Yusi, who was still depressed a second ago, suddenly became excited after hearing these words, and reached out to hug Missy's shoulders.

"Will he bring the king back to the Magic City?! Will he take us with him?! Are the food in the Magic City delicious? I heard that there is so much meat there that it can't be eaten and is even used to pave the road. Is it true?"

"Uh uh...then I don't know." The speech with a short circuit in the cerebellum jumped through several dimensions and almost made Missy's brain crash.

While several little demons were whispering to each other, Valgur looked at Shino and said in a low and hoarse voice.

"We have realized our own stupidity... Please give us another chance because we are all the people of the demon god."

"Yes..." Blancia followed up, "Please give us another chance, Your Majesty! We will prove our loyalty to him!"

"If you really think so, you should not beg me or plead for his mercy, but prove that you are worthy of being saved."

Shino said expressionlessly.

"The armies of Chaos are gathering."

"If you really want him to stay and help you fix the mess here, then let him see your determination."

All the lines were memorized, and now Shino had to leave.

After leaving the four demon generals behind, he left the woods without looking back and headed towards the tower leading to the third level of the maze.

Watching the terrifying figure disappear at the end of the fog, Tyrael glanced at the dead wood cane in his hand, and then broke the silence at the scene.

"To be honest, you are not the only ones standing and watching from afar. We noticed his arrival a long time ago and have been watching him from afar for a long time... We can't help but feel a little bit of a joke."

"We didn't think he was a qualified demon king, not only because he was too young, but also because he had never been here before. He was a complete outsider to us, and he represented the interests of Hell instead of ours. We began to think that he wouldn't be able to hold on for long, and would soon return to where he came from... but the facts proved that we were wrong."

"While we were watching with suspicion, he had already shouldered the responsibility of being the Demon King, and regrouped with the demons willing to follow him. He ended the chaos in the maze layer by layer, and cleaned up the mess that Reggie Dragun and we had made... Yes, today's situation is not entirely Dragun's fault. We are also responsible, but we just forgot it."

"I realized this when I was watching from the sidelines. And when I realized it, I was ashamed to find that... he, who came from the deepest part of hell, had done more for this maze than we who live here, and those things were originally our responsibility."

When he said this, Tyrael sighed softly, then his expression gradually became serious and he spoke in a solemn voice.

"The Grey Wind Tribe will summon all warriors to obey his orders, regardless of whether he is still willing to lead us on."

"It's the same with Nightmare Land. We always obey his orders," Sissi said as a matter of course, playing with her nails. "We are always ready to repel the invading enemies, whether they are from the surface or from the Chaos Realm... unlike some weaklings who just sit there doing nothing."

"Watch your words, little devil from the nightmare land. When we argue, we never use our lips, but our teeth."

Valgur exhaled an inch of breath covered with white frost, spoke in a warning voice, and then turned his mountainous body.

"The Frost Clan is also loyal to that lord... I will lead my people to assemble on the fifth floor of the maze, whether you come or not."

"Desperate City also obeys the orders of the Demon Lord. This is what I planned from the beginning," Blancia said without blushing. She put down her arms and looked at the orc warrior next to her meaningfully. "I don't think Grak Bloodblade would stab me in the waist at this time, right?"

"You think I'm yourself?" Grak Bloodblade said with a dark face, "I will bring my people with me to the battle!"

At this time, the Shadow Demon General Thanos, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke after repeated weighing.

"Count me in, too."

The corners of Blancia's mouth curled up into a smile.

"It looks like we've reached an agreement... although I always felt like we should have done this a long time ago."

I heard that the minions at the top of the maze had held something called a "summit meeting", but they had never discussed it as openly as they did today.

Thanos looked at her without saying a word, and his figure slowly merged into the surrounding fog, and disappeared in the forest in a moment.

"Instead of talking so much nonsense, why not bring more weapons?" Grak sneered and said mockingly, "I hope that when I see the troops from Desperate City, they won't be another group of goblins transporting baggage."

Blancia laughed and looked him in the eye without giving in.

“Same here.”

Those were the things that had happened when Reggie Dragun was fighting Archduke Campbell.

The demons in the maze have never been united, but at this moment they seem to have come together again, with a superficial unity but a spiritual separation.

Tyrael couldn't help but pray silently in his heart.

Not only for the fate of the Grey Wind Tribe, but also for this maze and the Demon King that he was optimistic about.

Hopefully this time will be different...
