Demon King: Hero, don't run away!-Chapter 1013 - 1015: Good Tactics Beat Good Fighting

In the third match of the quarterfinals, Lorand of the Shadow Hand Clan won effortlessly once again, successfully advancing to the semifinals.

The Shadow Hand Clan is a relatively rare sub-human species, living on the sheer cliffs.

This sub-human race generally does not intermarry with outsiders to ensure the purity of their bloodline.

For this reason, even in the relatively peaceful Dragon God Evaluation Country, their population has not exceeded five hundred in nearly a thousand years.

The first impression one gets of the Shadow Hand Clan is their skin, as purple as cabbage, followed by their pitch-black arms that emit a dark mist, seemingly ready to dissolve at any moment.

Their dark arms can create shadow-like hands to attack enemies or completely turn into shadows, rendering most physical attacks ineffective. These hands can even be immune to certain magic.

It is precisely because of their shadow-like hands that they are called the Shadow Hand Clan.

The attack method of the Shadow Hand Clan is extremely bizarre, and their special skills are endless.

The same skill mastered by different members of the Shadow Hand Clan often yields different effects.

The simplest and most direct way to understand how a member of the Shadow Hand Clan utilizes their shadow hands is to watch their matches and learn the effects of each of their skills.

However, Lorand's positioning is just too good, never encountering any strong enemies along the way.

So far, Yang Yu has only seen him use five skills.

The intelligence purchased from informants recorded only eight skills he has used.

Having lost the Wind Snatching from the Wind Wolf Clan, with his strength yet to be unveiled, Lorand is already the most likely candidate for the championship.

Yang Yu can only hope that when Aslit faces off against him, or when Gordon does, Lorand will reveal a few more skills.

After Lorand's match, the highlight showdown of the quarterfinals was up next.

Gordon slowly stepped onto the stairs, playing with the little gadgets Yang Yu had given him yesterday before the match, while Aslit, as usual, climbed onto the stage just in time.

The noise at the scene disappeared without a trace, and everyone stared at Aslit on the field.

The more they looked, the more they felt that Aslit on the field was no different from an ordinary person.

Being able to switch between enchanting demon and human forms means that an enchanting demon can easily hide among the crowd...

How terrifying this is.

Basically, none of the spectators want Aslit to obtain the Racial Essence of the giant dragon, nor do they want the Racial Essence of the giant dragon to fall into the hands of the Demon King's subordinates.

To cut off her possibility of obtaining the Racial Essence, she must be completely defeated in the quarterfinals.

However, Aslit's strength is evident, not something just anyone can stop.

Even though the contestant is Gordon, the leader of the Red Blood Rose, they still feel uncertain.

A traditional mage versus an assassin-type swordsman, certainly a disadvantaged matchup.

Bai Jin's match against Aslit is a precedent.

Just as the scene fell silent, loud cheers echoed in the Arena.

Liu Li Serti Sun, the leader of Gordon's cheerleading team, led the sisters behind her to cheer, breaking the silence at the scene.

Some spectators began to quietly join in the cheering.

They aren't really Gordon's fans, but they desperately hope Gordon can defeat Aslit.

The intermittent cheers formed a chorus, and Gordon put the little gadgets in his hand into the Storage Magic Array, and said with a smile:

"I never thought I'd face you, are you truly a minion of the Demon World? I'm quite interested.

If you're not a minion of the Demon World, and don't properly explain, after the Dragon God Conference concludes, you might face people hunting you from all sides."

Aslit did not reply, but simply prepared slowly as the referee gave the signal to prepare.

"Ignoring my question? I'll take that as a silent admission.

In my adventure group, there is someone with a strong sense of justice.

Once they learned of your existence, they became frantic.

If you obtain the Racial Essence of the giant dragon, she will surely drag me around the world.

I don't want things to become like that, disturbing my peaceful life.

So I'll get serious and show you my real strength."

Gordon, putting aside his usual carefree demeanor, extended his hand, and a magic wand the size of a chopstick appeared in his hand.

He rarely uses this legendary magic wand, passed down through the Red Blood Rose.

Taking it out now shows his regard for Aslit.

With both sides ready, the match officially began.

On the field, the two engaged in a battle reminiscent of Bai Jin's duel with Aslit.

Aslit continuously attacked, while Gordon used all possible methods to defend, seeking opportunities to counterattack.

Gordon, from the veteran S-Class adventure group, employed a variety of bizarre tools and strange skills' usage to temporarily hold Aslit at bay.

But Aslit once again displayed the Secret Technique of the Broken Wind Style, with each swing appearing incredibly lethal.

Under Aslit's relentless pressure, Gordon flew into the air as soon as the flying restriction lifted.

Aslit no longer hid her identity as an Enchanting Demon, grew twisted horns, pitch-black wings, and a long tail, transforming into a complete Enchanting Demon to engage Gordon in a grand aerial battle.

The audience was dazzled, faintly feeling that Aslit was slightly different from the legendary Enchanting Demons.

The legendary Enchanting Demons primarily rely on allure to charm others, gaining the Essence Qi needed for survival.

They also use some Dark Type magic, but their attack power is generally not very strong.

Therefore, once discovered, they mostly choose to escape rather than to fight it out, capturing attackers to keep as a food reserve.

Aslit, as an Enchanting Demon, having such combat prowess is indeed unusual.

During the day's rest between matches, some have investigated and found that Aslit is the eldest daughter of the current leader of the Broken Wind Style, and have gradually learned some internal matters of the Broken Wind Style.

Apart from being surprised, they also doubt the authenticity of this information.

Originally a human, turning into an Enchanting Demon is, in their view, entirely impossible.

Brilliant magic continuously blossomed in the sky, and Aslit, like a black meteor, weaved through various brilliant spells, crashing toward Gordon.

Aslit had long told her current master about her skills' incompatibility with Dark Magic.

The Count Blood gave her a few tips, and Aslit suddenly understood.

But to completely simulate Wind Attribute magic using Dark Magic, extensive practice is needed.

Generally speaking, the sooner practice begins, the better. However, the Count Blood did not immediately tell Aslit the practice method after she obtained the ability...

The reason the Count Blood did not tell Aslit at first is that he wanted Aslit to use Dark Magic willingly and without reservation for a long time, to let her realize that even without any skills used, Dark Magic is much stronger than she imagined.

Just imagine!

If these Dark Magics can be endowed with various attributes, the resulting power would be unimaginably great and enticing.

The Count Blood believes that once Aslit is deeply immersed in this power, she will forever be loyal to him.

Just like the other henchmen.
