Demon King: Hero, don't run away!-Chapter 1330: A Temporary Pause

Duo Luo spoke passionately, walking down this path was his own choice.

He knew the consequences of doing so, but someone had to step forward and change this world that operates only according to specific rules and understands no flexibility.

The bar owner sighed deeply, feeling the intense determination in Duo Luo, knowing that no words could sway him,

"What do you need me to do?"

Duo Luo raised his head, a glimmer passing through his cat-like eyes,

"Just like before, cut off or blur the information from the Queen’s side.

Act as if nothing has happened.

He’s just a somewhat more capable person.

If those two come to contact, do not respond.

Repeat, absolutely do not respond."

The bar owner nodded heavily.

Duo Luo left his seat, retrieved his officer’s hat from the rack, and placed it on his head,

"Next, there’s a lot of work to do.

With the Demon King’s descent, all Nine-Life Cat Demons will be busy, working diligently as she requires.

This is also our opportunity."

After speaking, Duo Luo left the bar without looking back.

Leaving the bar owner alone, looking at the fragments on the ground, pondering something unknown. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

...

The scene returns to [Count Blood]’s stronghold.

Two days after the campaign against [Count Blood].

Yang Yu quickly traversed through the dense forest, followed by a large group of diverse Transformed Magical Beasts.

Nearby, the one-armed Lang Yi jumped from tree to tree, also serving as bait.

When Lang Yi woke up to find one arm missing, he appeared optimistic, without a hint of complaint,

"Just one arm, better than being dead!

Don’t worry too much, coming here with you means I was prepared mentally.

No need for compensation.

Just consider it as paying back for the consequences of my foolish captain’s previous judgment errors."

Yang Yu thought Lang Yi was too polite. This time, he truly owed [Island Drifting] a huge favor.

Without [Island Drifting], this campaign would have certainly been harder than imagined.

After recovering from injuries, hearing that Yang Yu and the team planned to clear the island of Transformed Monsters, Lang Yi immediately volunteered for the battle, considering it post-injury rehab.

Lingshan and the others initially opposed, worried about Lang Yi’s physical condition, but eventually agreed.

A Poison Stinger wild boar following behind with its spurs upright, suddenly attacked Yang Yu and his team with relentless poison stingers.

Yang Yu and Lang Yi, both wrapped in Slime, didn’t fear these poison stingers, but they still dodged to avoid the attack, honing their reflex capabilities.

After collecting battle loot, Yang Yu and Bai Jin conducted a rough investigation of the entire island from sky and land respectively.

Aside from the Transformed Magical Beasts, they found no trace of [Count Blood]’s other subordinates.

Lotena had informed Yang Yu of several hidden Enchanting Demon locations, but upon visiting them, they saw no trace of them.

It seemed that after [Count Blood]’s death, the Enchanting Demons dispersed completely.

If earlier, perhaps some traces of the Enchanting Demons could have been found.

Upon realizing there were Demons escaping, inspecting the island should have taken precedence over collecting loot, but that Ancient "Ghost" disrupted Yang Yu’s plans.

Without the worry of Enchanting Demon attacks, Yang Yu and the team openly handled the uncontrollable Transformed Magical Beasts.

A large number of Transformed Magical Beasts were lured to an open area, and He Meng in her girl form leapt down from a tree, countless droplets coming off her, surrounding her completely.

The Transformed Magical Beasts rushed towards He Meng, intent on tearing her apart.

"[Dragon Transformation Wave]"

Numerous water balls flew away from He Meng, like massive water cannonballs bombarding the incoming Transformed Magical Beasts.

The water cannonballs that hit the beasts swiftly ascended into the air, combining to form a pale blue dragon silhouette, opening its huge mouth to attack all surrounding beasts.

He Meng flipped in mid-air, some water balls from the dragon attack returned to her body.

He Meng’s original appearance changed, growing Sharp dragon teeth and claws, a pair of Dragon Wings vigorously flapping, hovering mid-air.

As the Skill described, He Meng enters dragon form after using the Instant Kill.

Unfortunately, this dragon form isn’t a massive dragon tens or hundreds of meters tall, but a little dragon barely over half a meter.

The little dragon is exceptionally cute, the type one might consider a Mascot in a game.

He Meng was not pleased with this form.

This transformation, though it allows attacks to carry defensive power and special 10% additional damage, her attack methods were limited to expelling Water Bullet, hard to cope with the dynamic battlefield.

Finally obtaining such a Skill, He Meng wanted to explore whether she could develop it like Yang Yu.

As the intuition of a Demon told He Meng, the Skill she acquired wasn’t as straightforward as it seemed.

Thus, He Meng convinced Yang Yu to let her try out her Instant Kill during this period to see if it could be improved.

Expelling Water Bullet after Water Bullet, He Meng thoroughly crushed several still-moving beasts. This Instant Kill technique showed no difference from previous usages, exploring its methods required relentless effort.

Confirming all beasts’ Blood Bar vanished, Yang Yu cautiously entered the pile of meat, joining Lang Yi to separate materials from these beasts.

The dragon form ended its duration, He Meng reverted to her original round form, shuddering at the thought of devouring the materials Yang Yu scavenged afterward.

Clearing all Transformed Magical Beasts in the forest, Yang Yu and the team returned to the beach.

The shipbuilding operation on the beach was in full swing.

Yang Yu and the team currently had only one damaged warship, needing some vessels to transport everyone away.

At least, they needed to build a ship to take them to a nearby ship-selling location.

Rescued individuals were rallied by Yang Yu on this beach, working as directed.

The toxins on them were long neutralized by Yang Yu’s medicine, reborn anew, each person actively working hard.

Luo Luosi knew a lot about shipbuilding. Under her organization, two more days passed, and a massive sailboat was built.

Although this ship looked much uglier than regular ones, it was exceptionally solid and reliable.

After several checks and confirmations of no issues, all rescued individuals and Enchanting Demons who surrendered joined this sailboat, being slowly towed by Yang Yu’s warship, completely leaving [Count Blood]’s stronghold.

Yang Yu gazed from the deck as the island slowly faded from view, flipping the calendar, glancing at it.

The old year was about to end, and a new year was about to begin.

How much time is left until the Demon King’s descent?
