Demon King: Hero, don't run away!-Chapter 1140 - 1141: The Only Solution Does Not Exist

To withstand a prolonged battle, Yang Yu boosted his comrades' endurance, ensuring that each of them could still persist.

However, the expeditionary team led by "Island Drifting" mostly wore expressions of fatigue.

Before Yang Yu arrived, they had been entangled with Blala Doren for quite a while.

After receiving Bai Jin's aid, to ensure Bai Jin's successful Magic release and suppression, they stayed on high alert, launching active assaults repeatedly to buy time, exhausting a massive amount of stamina.

Seeing Lutrola Doron handle them with ease, healing his wounds with Magic, the strength driving each of them to persist seemed to sink into the sea instantly.

Their faces were ashen.

"Want to fight some more?"

Lutrola Doron disdainedly noticed Lang Yi gathering his Water Blade again and Lingshan chanting a spell with her sword, eyes full of contempt.

Then, Lutrola Doron shifted his gaze to Bai Jin, who was continuously weaving Magic in the air.

Several white Magic Arrays formed before Bai Jin as she attempted to construct the previous Magic, feeling that Lutrola Doron was no ordinary foe, perhaps only an attack like before could sanction him.

However, constructing the previous Magic from scratch would take considerable time.

To avoid Lutrola Doron's assaults disrupting the weaving of Magic, Bai Jin didn't weave Magic with full force.

Now, with Lutrola Doron suddenly eyeing her, Bai Jin divided her focus on Lutrola Doron's every move, further slowing her weaving speed.

If Lutrola Doron attacked, Bai Jin would immediately preserve the Magic she had woven halfway and use it for Defense.

Yet, Lutrola Doron had no intention of attacking Bai Jin, instead ignoring her and her Magic, turning his gaze back on Yang Yu.

"This sudden attack gave me quite a start.

But now, you should clearly see the gap in strength between us, shouldn't you?

I've watched your previous performance and have taken some interest in you.

I'll give you another chance.

I will release everyone here if you stay behind alone.

How about that, isn't it quite a lucrative deal?

If you doubt my credibility, I will let you use Surveillance Magic to watch them leave.

My patience has limits, and I'll only give you three minutes to consider.

After three minutes, if you do not agree or provide a response, you know the consequences.

"

Lutrola Doron once again threw the choice to Yang Yu.

Everyone's gaze slowly converged on Yang Yu, gritting their teeth at Lutrola Doron yet feeling powerless.

Originally believing the continued fight could glimpse a ray of hope, but Lutrola Doron's displayed prowess ruthlessly shattered their fantasies entirely.

Carrying years of adventuring experience, many adventurers fear not death but dying meaninglessly.

Even if only a tiny speck of hope for victory can be seen, seeing Lutrola Doron wounded by their attacks, they'd fight to the end.

But now...

Lutrola Doron's serene smile was like a hammer, constantly pounding on the adventurers' inner hearts.

Is continuing the fight here still meaningful?

With the sacrifice of only one person, they could still hold a chance to live and return.

Knowing Lutrola Doron's might, they could return and relay all observations and experiences, making better preparations next time, unlike their hasty entry now.

To go back and share everything seen and heard here with other adventurers would also avoid more deaths in subsequent expeditions.

When danger arises, considering what to relinquish to survive, they'd repeatedly conjure various "sensible" reasons, persuading themselves to let go to escape the threat.

Some easily convince themselves, while others won't abandon their true feelings.

Lingshan strode forward, shouting aloud:

"Wasn't it mentioned before that if one doesn't wish to fight, fleeing was also okay?

If you want to escape, then escape.

In my view, Yang Yu poses the greatest threat to the Goblin Emperor, hence the Goblin Emperor aims to effortlessly eliminate him.

If we now abandon only him to survive, then we might entirely lose the chance to slay the Goblin Emperor, who would once more sweep across the world.

At that time, would there still be any peaceful haven?

I believe that even if we're to leave, he should go first.

But, if you wish to go, I won't stop you."

Lingshan spoke passionately and resolutely, glancing at Lang Yi by her side, prepared for rebuke.

However, Lang Yi said nothing, merely gathering his Water Blade again.

Using remaining stamina to escape surely isn't a bad idea, but that also depends if escape is viable.

Uncommonly, Lang Yi agreed with Lingshan, avoid temporarily, cannot avoid forever.

Lutrola Doron proposed this condition to Yang Yu under such favorable circumstances, surely sensing something about Yang Yu.

Continuing the fight, Yang Yu nearby might find a breakthrough, hence Lutrola Doron wanted him alone.

Clutching his Water Blade tightly, Lang Yi stood ready to resume the fight anytime.

Even if repeatedly thrown against the trees by Lutrola Doron, he'd fight.

Lutrola Doron paid no heed to Lang Yi's thoughts.

Her vertical Dragon Eyes watch Yang Yu, awaiting his answer.

The battle paused temporarily, and hearing Lutrola Doron and Lingshan's words, Yang Yu's chaotic thoughts slowly returned to normal.

Thinking it over, he inadvertently revealed a smile.

Lutrola Doron seemed to offer a choice, but in reality, there was none.

Lutrola Doron and her offsprings had already exposed many abilities and definite hostility.

If he stayed here, the prospects were grim.

For him, Bai Jin and others would definitely choose to stay.

Though unsure of the process, the outcome was sure to be so.

Suddenly facing this late-stage boss, he bore an undeniable responsibility.

Yet, who could guarantee that each choice made along the way would lead to the desired outcome?

Even unveiling the world's secrets, Yang Yu couldn't ascertain if it was good or bad.

One frustration after another over what choices to make, but who knows how long until resolving them?

This is reality, devoid of any "undo" function like in saved games.

A past action that greatly impacts the present calls not for regret over past deeds but pondering how to make amends.

Constantly lamenting past mistakes without action...

Ultimately shows unwillingness to face present hardships.

In games errors mean a restart, reality doesn't allow for it.

Yet, reality presents more solutions than one.

For instance, encountering overwhelmingly strong foes, it isn't merely run or fight to death as solutions.
