Side Story: Hua Xin, the Hero's Adventure 6
"Lord Hero..."
A feeling of emotion that had never been felt before slowly surfaced in Dong Miao's eyes, and the Magic Staff she was holding involuntarily turned toward Mu Feng, who was floating in mid-air beside her.
"We will all survive, and not just survive..."
He looked resolutely at Mu Feng, who was floating in mid-air with an air of mystery and composure, and then said to Hua Xin, word by word:
"We will also completely eliminate some of them in the Demon Realm."
Now that things have come to this, when Hua Xin saw her comrade-in-arms, who had gone through life-and-death trials with her and shared hardships, expressing such feelings, she herself was also deeply moved as she looked at Dong Miao beside her, recalling their glorious past.
After a brief silence, as a close friend and comrade-in-arms, all she could say at this moment was a short sentence that, while not overly sentimental, was enough to demonstrate their friendship:
"Be safe."
Then...
Dong Miao turned her head with a determined look, as if she was preparing to fight.
However, his originally spirited gaze changed slightly in an instant, and his eyes seemed to hold a message that ordinary people could not perceive.
Meanwhile, Mu Feng, who was in mid-air, also lowered his head and cast a somewhat secretive glance over.
However, most people's attention was drawn to Xiang Guan, the second Demon General Xiang Guan of the Nine Dragon Coffin, so much so that no one noticed a rather peculiar fact.
That is...
Who is the number one Demon General?
Well, the team members, who were currently engrossed in their fantasies about the unknown battle, planning to obtain the Demon King's treasure and become world heroes, had no time to think about these things.
What they need to consider is the invincible life they will have after possessing the treasure.
This gives some people the space to communicate with their eyebrows and eyes.
The following is an encrypted call:
m. "My lord, everything is ready. First Dipping Sauce Mu Feng and Second Dipping Sauce Xiang Guan are reporting to you!"
"Loyalty!"
x. "Very good, I'm very satisfied."
M. "Loyalty! Sincerity!"
"It's all thanks to your excellent guidance, sir; it's all thanks to your skillful leadership, sir; it's all thanks to you that our Demon Realm's Third Empire has been able to regain its former glory. We salute you, sir! We are loyal and devoted!"
x. "Let's begin as we've planned."
m. "Understood."
The atmosphere became very tense and awkward.
Neither side made the first move, and a silent stalemate ensued, as if each was waiting for the other to strike first before making any further decisions.
This resulted in the two forces, which seemed to be on the verge of conflict, being surprisingly peaceful and quiet, as if they were playing a game of "Red Light, Green Light".
"Humans..."
The tanks and warriors standing on either side of the formation shuddered, instantly becoming twelve times more alert to face the two demons in front and behind.
One is the legendary Demon King.
One of them introduced himself as the second-in-command under the Demon King.
Judging solely from the fluctuations in Magic Power, they are not much different from the clan's prodigies, meaning the two sides are currently evenly matched.
But in other words...
The two of them alone have already achieved a balance with their adventure team of more than a dozen people. What if there are demon kings' armies and third, fourth, and fifth generals?
Will they still be able to easily complete the mission of slaying the Demon King, obtain the treasure hidden by the Demon King, the heroes of the continent, and enjoy a life of pleasure every day?
None of the people present had any intention of running away or backing down.
This is not because of their bravery and fearlessness.
It was because they carried the Kexue Etahan resurrection spell left on them by the Great Sage and the Archmage.
As long as this magic exists, they no longer need to worry about whether they will die or perish in this Demon Realm full of unknowns. All they need to worry about is whether they can kill the Demon King today.
"Are you really prepared to attack the Demon Realm?"
Mu Feng's deep voice rang out, causing everyone's eyes to sharpen.
An ordinary voice wouldn't have bothered them so much, but this voice, which resonated throughout the team, carried an irresistible allure that even ordinary people, and even those whose magical talents weren't particularly strong, found hard to resist.
Could this be the power awakened by the so-called "Demon King"?
Lure...
Depravity...
So this is why a demon king can be called a demon king!
At that moment, it wasn't just one person who had this thought in their mind.
Just one sentence was enough to make them feel uneasy, and they almost let the dark side of their hearts surface.
The elf girl who had just sworn an oath and mocked the Demon Mu Feng suddenly guarded her mind. The mental protection bestowed upon every Elf Tribe by the Elf Queen made them immune to most mental attacks and brainwashing.
What terrifyingly powerful temptation...
She thought to herself with lingering fear.
In that instant, she saw herself in her mind eating animal meat, happily drinking the soup made from stewed meat, and occasionally shouting things like, "Another bowl of beef noodles, please..."
How is that possible!
As Elf Tribe, how could she possibly eat animal flesh? Her responsibility as an elf is to protect the animals in the forest, not to harm them.
This demon king... is truly wicked.
The elven girl raised her head with a sharp look in her eyes, as if to pick up her bow and arrow, gather Magic Power, and begin her attack.
But then she noticed something was amiss.
Why are my feet so cold...?
"Smack!"
The elf girl kicked a human assassin who was lying on the ground licking his feet, and when she turned to check, most of her teammates were already immersed in their own fantasies.
Aside from the person who was licking their own feet, there was another person sitting on the ground writhing back and forth like an M, as if dodging a whip; another person was sitting cross-legged on the ground, twisting their body 360 degrees; and yet another person took off their pants and took out stockings from their backpack...
You're a fucking man?!
"Wake up, all of you!! You bunch of perverts, wake up..."
"Aaaaaaah!!"
Unfortunately, before the elf girl's roar could fully reach everyone's ears, her vision went black, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood. The Return City Aura on her body lit up, causing her to instinctively grip her bow and arrow tightly to avoid Explode Gold Coins.
Not only her, but one light after another began to illuminate.
Soon, everyone who was indulging in their desires returned to the city and disappeared from this Demon Realm land.
Hua Xin naturally fell into a dream of desire, but she quickly woke up and looked at Dong Miao, who was still struggling with his head down, and the others who were about to return to the city and withdraw from this combat mission with great vigilance and anger.
Mage... Tank... Warrior... Assassin...
The fully prepared team vanished in an instant. Is this the power of the Demon King?
Her magical abilities aren't like those of a healer like Archmage, capable of removing crowd control effects and providing buffs to teammates. With both the mage and the healer under crowd control, activating Return City Magic and leaving the battlefield is the best outcome, at least preventing these elite troops from being wiped out here.
As beams of light shattered, Hua Xin finally stood beside Dong Miao, slowly raising the Hero's Sword in her hand. Her body gradually became transparent, and her aura gradually returned to the air...
She was determined to protect this last comrade who stood by her side, still fighting desperately against desire...
"Pfft."
A chill ran down my lower back, accompanied by pain.
Hua Xin stared in astonishment as the Return City Aura around her disappeared without her noticing, replaced by a longsword that had pierced her waist, now lying right in front of her.
She slowly turned her head, and in her disbelief-filled eyes, she saw that familiar face reflected in her gaze.
"Why..."
"Dong Miao".
