Chapter 257 Father and Son

Time goes back to when the battle just entered a white-hot stage——

As soon as the Blood Temple was opened, the world suddenly changed. The air above the Black Wind Castle seemed to be dyed crimson. The blood of the entire city seemed to be gathering towards an invisible altar, turning into this scarlet field! The players in the distance widened their eyes. They were originally excited to rush into the battlefield, but now they all stopped, with a look of surprise on their faces, as if they had walked into the wrong instance.

A skeleton wizard wearing a black robe and holding a staff of the undead was looking at the blood-red clouds rolling in the distance. The staff was shaking slightly in his hand, and its skeleton was clattering uncomfortably.

After a long while, he said with emotion.

"... Damn it, the road was completely obliterated by the two of them fighting, and we actually dared to charge forward just now?"

Fortunately, his profession was an acolyte, so he did not go up himself, but recruited a group of cannon fodder babies to die for him.

Next to him, a lizardman player with emerald green scales all over his body and a huge bow on his back clicked his tongue with a hint of sincere admiration in his tone.

"Tsk tsk, if this scene were made into a CG promotional video, it would probably attract all the players on the Internet."

"You call this bullshit?" A little demon player rolled his eyes, looked at the towering blood-red temple in the sky, and said with envy, "A closed beta game can be made like this? This is a real-life movie!"

In the distance, blood-red mist rolled and black flames intertwined. The two strong men on the battlefield were like two towering mountains.

Under the destructive energy collision, the surrounding buildings turned into dust, and the air was compressed to the point of making a mournful cry under the heavy burden.

At this moment, the professional combat players nearby were communicating in low voices.

"Tell me, how many people do we need to kill those two guys by sheer numbers?" An undead warrior in iron armor touched his chin, with a hint of thought in his tone.

The Skeleton Mage immediately said, "I think... a hundred thousand troops is the minimum."

"Bullshit! Do you really think we are just using human heads to smother the monsters? The Transcendents and the Mortal Army are not from the same dimension!" The Lizard Archer shook his head in disdain, "I think ninety thousand is enough."

"Uh, what's the difference between this and 100,000?"

"It's a huge difference! I've calculated that based on the ratio of extraordinary people in the army, there should be at least 5,000 to 6,000 warriors, mages and priests. If we spread it out evenly... if each of us dies 30 times, we can almost kill the boss."

"Awesome, you really counted it."

"Come on, it's better to listen to my bragging than to listen to his nonsense."

The players were whispering to each other, with a hint of relaxation and teasing in the atmosphere, which seemed out of place with the surrounding ruins.

The injured goblins were crawling out from under the collapsed buildings, limping towards the direction of the magic crystal cannon factory. They always felt that there should be nothing wrong there, at least it was related to the supply of war equipment for the front line, and the "high-level" of hell would not ignore it.

Although the reasoning process is irrelevant, the result is the same.

Zakro really had no interest in the magic crystal cannon factory, and had no time to take care of it.

The little devil player at the side crossed his arms, looking at the bloody battlefield with complicated eyes, and there was a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"But then again, the bastard planner really didn't intend to let us get the reward... This is definitely not a level that a bronze player can challenge."

"Yeah, this mission is to send us home, right?" A newly resurrected Skeleton player said with frustration, "I wonder if we should consider some other ways to fight, such as waiting for the BOSS to die on its own?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to wait until the server shuts down."

Just as everyone was sighing, the blood and black flames on the battlefield collided again, forming a destructive shock wave. In an instant, several players who were standing too close were blown away!

"Get out!" Zakro roared, stretched out his sharp claws forward, and the purple flame instantly cut a "bloody path" in the sea of ​​blood!

Looking at the charging BOSS, the surrounding players howled like wolves and ghosts.

"Fuck!"

"Help! I'm going back to the login screen again!"

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

After a burst of screams, the ground was in a mess and the players' bodies turned into ashes and disappeared into the air.

Looking at the miserable state of those newbies, the players who were still standing looked at each other with complicated expressions.

The lizard archer couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "...You guys think, if we get any closer, will there be nothing left of us?"

but--

It wasn’t all frustrated noises, either.

Unlike the goblin NPCs around them that are crying for their parents, players can be resurrected after death. Although it is frustrating not to be able to defeat the BOSS, some people feel that the future is promising.

It's a closed beta! It's normal to have some minor twists and turns.

The little devil flying in the sky watched the duel between the two powerful men in the distance with a fiery gaze, his saliva almost dripping to the ground, and there was a hint of excitement in his voice.

"This... is too damn real! This sense of impact, this environmental destruction, can the closed beta test achieve this level?!"

The Skeleton Mage clenched his staff even tighter and shouted excitedly.

"Open beta! It's done! It's definitely done!"

But at this moment, a lizardman carrying a battle axe was suddenly startled, and there was a hint of nervousness in his voice.

"Wait! Is this BOSS heading towards the Lord's Mansion?!"

The little devil next to him immediately came to his senses and his expression changed.

"Damn it! I almost forgot about this setting! If the Demon King dies, the server will reset?!"

That guy was usually very timid, and he always cheated others, and he had never seen anyone cheat him, so he almost forgot about this setting! Seeing the BOSS rushing into the lord's mansion, the players panicked, and didn't care about life or death, and rushed up in a swarm.

"Grass!"

"Dad!!! Run!"

"Quick! Protect the emperor!"

…

The Lord's Mansion of Black Wind Castle stood quietly outside the war. This three-story obsidian building was surrounded by thick walls. The magical lights cast a cold glow in the night, forming a sharp contrast with the burning goblin community in the distance.

Luo Yan stood on the terrace of the lord's mansion, his hands folded, staring at the scarlet sky in the distance, with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.

He knew that his father would come to save him.

This is his biggest trump card.

This was also the source of the 90% confidence he mentioned when talking to Festing.

From the moment Zakro stepped into Black Wind Castle, he was doomed to die. Even if there were ten thousand demons in the entire demon world who wanted him to live, he couldn't escape the one person who wanted him to die.

This person is not even Luo Yan himself.

It was Roxelle Colin.

Zakro would never understand, after all, he had never loved anyone, nor did he have any real relatives. To him, everyone was just a tool for him to use, even his son and grandson. If he had an illegitimate child, he would probably wish that guy would die, or even do it himself... So he judged others by himself and thought that Roxie Colin must think the same way.

He never dreamed that Roxelle would be here waiting for him to send her up.

"I thought you were planning to wait for the Ministry of Truth to come to the rescue after he made a big fuss." Floating beside Luo Yan, Youyou said with emotion, "I didn't expect that the person who came was... your father."

Luo Yan smiled faintly.

"I'm afraid the Ministry of Truth would rather collect my body."

His voice was calm, as if he was not the one being discussed.

It is true that humans are animals to be protected, but this kind of talk is enough in school. Some theories are useful to teachers and students, but as for outsiders... Baron Avisler challenged me to a duel without caring at all, didn't he? Youyou tilted his abstract head in confusion.

"But... you are the Demon King. If you die, won't the Thunder County maze be doomed?"

Luo Yan said slowly.

"If you assume a non-existent 'higher level' and abstract it into a cold machine, then this logic is valid. But if you stand in the shoes of a specific person, such as the Minister of Religion, Coligo, you will probably come to a completely different conclusion, and you won't be surprised at all why the people from the Ministry of Truth haven't appeared yet."

This place is indeed quite far away from the Magic City, maybe at least a hundred kilometers away, but this is not a problem at all.

If they really wanted to catch Zakro, they could just stay in Black Wind Castle for 24 hours. If they couldn't do that, they would just stay there forever and see who could endure longer - just like his father.

As for the demon god——

From the day he saw Youyou, he began to wonder what the devil's true state was.

Youyou looked at the Demon King blankly and asked in a low voice.

"Then how did you know Roxelle was here?"

Luo Yan answered without hesitation.

"He must be here, or he will regret it for the rest of his life."

The vampire's concealment ability is not inferior to that of a shadow demon, and he can even lie in a coffin, just like lying in a hibernation capsule. It is much more difficult to find a lurking vampire than to find a terror.

Luo Yan never expected the Goblin Community to find any clues, but he believed that his father must have been more anxious than he was when he saw Zakro become a fugitive.

Is this exploitation?

Luo Yan actually didn't know either.

But he felt that if his child was in danger, even if he was an illegitimate child, he would do something similar.

Youyou was full of admiration.

"...As expected of the Demon King, he even took this into consideration!"

Ignoring Youyou's flattery, Luo Yan pondered for a moment and then continued speaking.

"The only thing I can't figure out right now is one thing... Youyou, do you smell it?"

Youyou asked curiously.

"What do you smell?"

"It smells bad," Luo Yan frowned slightly, "It reminds me of Novel."

Youyou looked at him in surprise.

"Strange Mist?! Are you saying... Zakro is a Mad Talker? But how is that possible... I can't sense the aura of chaos from him."

"Well," Luo Yan nodded, "that's the problem."

Maybe--

Is there someone else who made a deal with Nowell?

Youyou asked carefully.

"Maybe you're overthinking it?"

Luo Yan replied without comment.

"I hope so."

…

Just as the "man" and the "dog" were chatting, the battle situation in the distance took a new turn.

Zakro suddenly expanded his domain, and the sky and earth instantly fell into a deep darkness, as if the entire world was shrouded in endless fear.

However, this change did not last long, and a blood-red palace suddenly unfolded, not only completely covering Zakro's territory, but also dyeing the sky and the earth a bloody red!

That's Roxay's territory!

At the same time, it is a real domain...not a fake one like Zakro's.

Luo Yan had never thought that his father would be so strong! "Is this the power of a Grandmaster..." Luo Yan whispered to himself, his eyes flickering, with a hint of shock in his voice that was difficult to conceal.

He had heard that demigod-level warriors could create a world of their own within a limited space and write their own rules, but he had never expected that a master-level warrior could also do it.

Is it a divine weapon? Or is it the secret technique of the Colin family? Or -

Is it a blessing bestowed by the demon god?

Luo Yan fell into deep thought.

He knows too little about the rules of this world.

If he wasn't a paranoid old lunatic like Zakro, he might not have won so easily.

The three platinum-level demon generals standing beside Luo Yan were also staring at the battlefield. Their expressions were even more shocked than Luo Yan's, and even contained a hint of awe.

"That... is actually a domain?!"

The burly orc Grak clenched his fists, his rough face full of disbelief, and stared in amazement at the dome that had completely changed color.

I didn’t expect that the Demon King actually knew a demigod-level strong man!

No wonder he was not worried at all when facing the Dragun Family!

Unlike Grak, the Thorn Demon General Blancia was pale. There was a hint of fear on her charming face, but more of it was relief and pleasure.

"Zakro... the elder of the Dragun family, is this guy... finally going to die?"

Her voice trembled, her slender fingers grasped the corner of the cloak, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, and an intoxicated smile appeared on her face.

"This is really... awesome! Haha...hahaha!"

Thanos' gloomy face was hidden under the hood, with complex light flashing in his eyes. After a long time, he slowly spoke.

"The battle of the domains... I didn't expect to see such a strong fight in the Magic City. It really benefited me a lot."

The three demon generals were far more shocked than the players.

After all, everyone present knew that this was a power that was on par with that of gods, a realm that only demigod-level powerhouses could touch!

Although they obviously misunderstood something, Luo Yan did not intend to explain to them.

Let it be a misunderstanding, it’s not a bad thing for me anyway.

Besides being shocked, the three men felt more joy at having their revenge.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Although Zacro Dragun has never directly exploited them, this guy is Reggie Dragun's biggest backer and the source of Reggie's madness.

For an unrealistic goal, these guys drove them like tools, leaving them hungry, cold, and living like dogs.

Now that Reggie is dead and Zachro is about to die, it can be said that they have fulfilled a wish.

"Hahaha, it really makes people happy." Grak laughed in a low voice, his eyes full of the pleasure of revenge.

Blancia smiled slightly, but her eyes were sharp and dangerous: "It's a pity that I can't do it myself..."

Thanos snorted coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his teasing.

"Being drained of blood and flesh by the power of the vampires is a decent ending for this cannibalistic guy."

The voice sounded as if the man wanted to eat him alive.

Listening to the conversation of his men behind him, Luo Yan smiled faintly. Just as he was about to say something, the Blood Temple in the distance suddenly shook violently.

The air seemed to be torn apart by a sharp blade, and the blood mist surged like a violent tide! Then, a figure burning with purple flames suddenly broke through the barrier of the domain, turned into a terrifying stream of light, and rushed straight towards the direction of the Lord's Mansion of Black Wind Castle! "Boom!"

The huge impact shattered half of the street. Zakro fell to the ground like a burning meteor, with purple flames surging around him, as if he was going to crush everything that stood in his way. The buildings along the way collapsed under the impact of his terrifying aura, and the goblins fleeing on the street screamed in fear. Even the usually brave hell dwarves collapsed to the ground under the erosion of fear energy, unable to even scream.

A smile of confidence of victory froze on the corner of Luo Yan's mouth.

This is……

What's happening?!

The scene before him was beyond his expectations, the purple meteor was heading straight towards him. In the blink of an eye, he had no time to think too much.

Especially when he saw clearly the black shadow breaking through the air, his pupils suddenly shrank.

He didn't die?! Holy shit!

Not only Luo Yan, the three demon generals standing beside him were also completely stunned.

Blancia's smile disappeared, her face became solemn, and a trace of uneasiness appeared in her eyes. She subconsciously took a step back, her slender fingers tightly grasping her cloak, and she was at a loss for a moment.

Grak tightly gripped the battle axe behind him, his rough face filled with anger and anxiety, but also a hint of panic.

Thanos' eyes widened, his face hidden under the hood was full of confusion and helplessness, and for a moment he even forgot how to react.

Zakro didn't even look at them.

He didn't care about these trash at all. He only cared about one person - Luo Yan.

There was a crazy smile on his face, and he felt an indescribable joy in his heart, as if he had already avenged himself.

"Hahahaha! Roxelles! So what if he's a grandmaster! Trash is trash!"

He laughed wildly, stared at Luo Yan with deep hatred, and rushed towards the Lord's Mansion! The courtyard of the Lord's Mansion was shattered by the shock wave, the floor tiles flew, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and burning purple flames.

The guard holding the magic stone gun could not stop him for a second, and the magic crystal cannon displayed on the street was cut into two pieces by a purple blade before it could even turn the muzzle.

Zakro Dragun, who had gone completely insane, stepped into the courtyard wall without slowing down. The bloody afterglow reflected on his torn black robe, highlighting the hideousness and bloodthirsty madness on his face.

His purple flame was still burning, and although his breath was a little weak, compared to Luo Yan and his group standing on the terrace, he was still the most terrifying existence on the battlefield.

However, before he could take the next step, a roar exploded from the terrace -

"Die!"

The Blood Blade Demon General Grak roared and jumped down from the terrace, holding the huge double-edged battle axe in both hands and smashed it towards Zakro.

The blazing red aura condensed on the battle axe, tearing through the air like a meteor, heading straight for Zakro's head!

He was not a loyal subordinate, but at this moment he also understood that this was the only way to survive! If Luo Yan died——

The mysterious strong man who intercepted Zakro would definitely not care about their lives! Perhaps, this is the test from His Majesty the Demon King!

Zakro had no expression on his face, and he didn't even raise his head. He just waved his hand casually, and the flame of fear lashed out like a whip -

Bang!!

The next moment, Grak's battle axe shattered, and his body flew backwards like a rag, hitting the courtyard wall heavily, making a huge dent, and then fell to the ground, his life or death unknown!

"...Tsk, where did this trash come from?" Zakro snorted coldly, not even bothering to look at him.

"Bound by thorns!"

A strange voice sounded in the air, and Blancia hastily stretched out her slender right hand, with a large number of twisted thorns emerging from under her sleeves.

The twisted thorns were like a galloping python, falling from the sky and instantly sweeping over Zakro's limbs, trying to bind him tightly!

She didn't have that much inner drama, she was just simply scared.

For those who are good at scheming, the thing they fear most is facing the coldness of a blade.

In the face of the threat of death, all calculations are useless!

Zakro narrowed his eyes slightly, and then a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"That's it?"

Crack! He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the thorns. The moment the blood poison penetrated into his palm along the thorns, it was directly evaporated by the purple flames!

Blancia's full-strength attack didn't hurt him at all! The next second, Zakro pulled hard, and Blancia's body was instantly carried away! She wanted to break free from the thorns, but was horrified to find that she couldn't let go at all. She was dragged in the air and turned half a circle, and then slammed into the courtyard wall with a bang, half of her body embedded in it! The bricks cracked and dust filled the air.

She sat paralyzed on the ground, her legs trembling constantly, her face pale, and she didn't even have the strength to stand up. A stain slowly spread on her torn skirt.

The energy of fear attacked her nerves, making her unable to move at all! In front of the elders of the Dragun family, the queen of Desperate City was actually frightened to death.

Thanos stood on the terrace with a gloomy expression.

He knew better than anyone that Zakro's strength was not something they could fight against! But he also knew that if he didn't take action now, he would not end well when the Demon King settled the matter later! At least -

Buy one more second for the Demon King! "...Damn it."

Glancing at Luo Yan's "calm" expression, Thanos gritted his teeth and cursed, then mobilized all his strength.

The next second, his figure turned into a black afterimage, and a shadow blade popped out from his sleeve, carrying the power of shadow, and suddenly stabbed at Zakro's back! Zakro's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm.

"You want to sneak attack me? You bastards are too naive."

He turned around suddenly, his palm glowing with purple flames, and he accurately grabbed Thanos' wrist, then slammed his claws into his abdomen! Boom! Thanos' eyes bulged, and his body flew backwards like a cannonball, piercing through the stone pillars of the terrace and smashing onto the ground. His chest heaved violently, and he couldn't get up for a long time.

He originally wanted to just put on an act, but he didn't expect Zakro to not cooperate at all, and this attack almost cost him his life.

The three demons have lost their ability to fight! Although they are the rulers of the maze, they are from the maze in the countryside after all.

Although the Campbell family had produced a demigod-level strongman, that was centuries ago.

Zakronen smiled and looked up at Luo Yan standing on the terrace, then took a step forward, his expression as if saying "It's your turn".

Luo Yan looked at Zak Luo expressionlessly. He seemed to be calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai, but in fact, the mudslide came too fast for him to react.

Too fast! He had no time to react before his three strongest men were lying on the ground.

As for himself, there was really no difference between standing and lying down.

There is a difference of four levels between Amethyst level and Silver level, which is equivalent to level 50 PK level 150.

This is not a battle in one dimension at all!

Without any hesitation, looking at the three demon generals lying on the ground, Luo Yan raised his hand without hesitation and activated the teleportation array of the lord's mansion.

For now, he can only avoid his attack and wait for his unreliable father to deal with Zakro before coming back.

However, the next second, his expression changed slightly again——

The teleportation array...is broken?! An invisible twisting force is interfering with the flow of magic.

That is the power of the domain! Youyou, who was floating beside his ear, trembled and whispered.

"Master Demon King... what... what should we do now?!"

It was watching the fun just a second ago, but now it started to panic.

Luo Yan: “…”

"Will I let you run away? Don't dream. Hehehe... But I have to praise you. You are braver than those three guys. At least you didn't pee your pants out of fear." Zakro seemed to see through Luo Yan's intention to run away, and walked towards him with a grin.

He seemed to want to fully enjoy this intoxicating fear, so he walked very slowly on purpose.

The winner is decided!

At this distance, it made no difference to him whether he was holding the other person's neck or not.

I think Roxelle knew this, so he didn't catch up.

Luo Yan gritted his teeth, raised his right hand and changed the gesture, as if he had never thought of escaping, a magic wand appeared at his fingertips.

"Withering Shadow!"

He didn't know what his father was thinking, but now all he could do was to delay time! A beam of emerald green energy shot out and headed straight for Zakro's chest. The corrosive power of death filled the air, carrying the whisper of death! If adventurers like Chris or Am were hit by this move, they would be dead or skinned. However, when Zakro saw the magic light flying slowly, he sneered and didn't even try to dodge, allowing the green light to hit his chest, which was as solid as a city wall.

"That's all you can do—"

As soon as the mocking words came out of his mouth, a loud bang pierced through Zakuro's chest.

His eyes suddenly widened, and his eyeballs almost burst out of their sockets. Then blood oozed out of his mouth and nose. He stood still as if struck by lightning...

Then the distorted expression changed from anger to pleading, and from pleading to despair.

Luo Yan was completely stunned and had no idea what was going on.

He thought that what he had chanted was indeed Shadow of Decay, not "Avada Eats the Big Melon"?! Besides, the skill effects were not similar...

Before he could come to his senses, Zakro suddenly vomited blood, and his whole body burst from the heart like a balloon that was punctured from the inside.

“Puff——!”

Scarlet flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the solidified blood clots were like shrapnel from an explosion!

The purple flames wrapped around his body were extinguished instantly. Zakro stared blankly at his chest which was missing a large piece of it. Then the light in his pupils dimmed, and he fell to the ground silently, meeting the end of his life.

Until the last moment of his life, he did not understand why he died at the hands of a silver-level necromancer.

In the distance, Roxel, standing on a high place, slowly loosened his clenched fists.

Tiny pieces of blood scab slipped through his fingers and flew away like sand blown away by the wind, just like Zakro's soul that drifted away with the wind.

Ever since that guy rushed out of his territory, Roxelles had been carefully controlling his life until his own child took action - making that weak spell just the right amount of time to become the last straw that broke the camel's back.

This is not an easy thing to do.

To be honest, he was only 10% to 20% sure, but fortunately he won the bet.

Zakro's arrogance made him lose the final and most fatal round, while Luo Yan's bravery also won him the reward he deserved.

If Luo Yan had indeed raised his soul level through Vivian's First Embrace, then his current strength should be no worse than that of the gold-level Vivian. This would have made up for some of the debt in his heart.

Looking at the young demon king standing calmly on the terrace, Roxe showed a smile of approval and genuine pride on his face.

As expected of my son——

Even when facing a purple crystal-level strongman, he can still bravely draw his wand and fight back! Perhaps this is the bond between father and son! (End of this chapter)
