Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 497 - 347: Siege (Part 2)
She now looks a bit puzzled, her gaze alternating between the dark tower in the night and her surroundings, searching for a particular figure.
"Why hasn’t the Demon King appeared yet? It must have already cleared the level!"
This is the first question she couldn’t figure out. Logically, by now the Demon King should have come out of the tower to fight everyone, but not a single strand of hair could be seen, making one wonder if it had escaped without leaving a trace using some method.
In response, a berserker class warrior next to her laughed loudly and replied:
"The Demon King is definitely afraid of our united strength! It’s hiding in the dark tower, afraid to come out! It knows it will be finished the moment it appears!"
But Red Dragon Cole shook her head speechlessly upon hearing this, not responding, because she understood these people didn’t know how strong the Demon King was; most who understood that had already died.
Quickly spotting a nearby white dove, the Red Dragon lady hastened to it and asked:
"The Wise Man of humanity! Why hasn’t that person arrived yet? Without him, we are not confident of defeating the Demon King!"
She was referring to Wang Zhifan, who she saw as the most important person, not showing up was truly inappropriate.
The white dove, hearing her question, didn’t react for a short while, but soon opened its beak and emitted the voice of the Grand Duke, deliberately lowered:
"He has already arrived, that’s all I can say."
"Has he already arrived? Is he ambushing nearby? Why doesn’t he just enter the tower? Is he worried about not finding the Demon King?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
The Red Dragon lady, hearing this, immediately wondered, explaining it as the other party not being familiar with the internal mechanisms of the dark tower, not wanting to miss the chance to corner the Demon King after entering, and narrowly missing the Demon King in the complex layers of the tower.
"The Demon King is indeed a cunning creature... I bet it believed what I said and deduced this point, so it simply hides in the tower and doesn’t come out..."
Cole thought, suspecting this battle would evolve into a test of patience for both sides, with humanity reluctant to enter the tower due to increased risks, and the Demon King unwilling to come out for fear of being besieged.
But often when others thought the situation would remain stagnant, a sudden change occurred.
Suddenly, at the tower entrance illuminated by spells in the dark night, appeared a tall, lean figure, exuding an unabashed aura of dark savagery, who else could it be if not the incarnation of the Demon King?
"Beware! The Demon King has emerged!"
Instantly, someone specifically monitoring the tower entrance alerted loudly, yet most people hardly needed reminding, as they had sensed the approach of darkness the moment the figure neared the entrance.
With the Demon King arriving at the entrance, a white dove also appeared in the air, one of the countless sound-transmitting creations of the Grand Duke, who now attempted a final negotiation with this adversary.
"Demon King! You do not belong to this world at all! If you are willing to return to hell, we can negotiate a ceasefire, and all casualties can be avoided!"
The Duke, indeed an elder, did not abandon the peace resolution route even when facing such an existence, unlike other professionals who only thought of violent solutions.
However, the Demon King would obviously not accept such a proposal; if it was willing to return to hell alone, it would have done so long ago. It hadn’t gone because its ambition wasn’t dead, and it could be heard laughing loudly:
"Agulas Rod! Your cowardice amuses me! I shall only bring your skulls back to hell as trophies after slaughtering you all!"
Having said that, the Demon King then charged out of the tower entrance, colliding with multiple high-level berserker class warriors blocking it, and in mid-advance, it shed its human incarnation to transform into its true form, a colossal body like a small mountain instantly bringing immense pressure to the people around.
"Ah!"
"Ah!!!"
"Fwoosh~"
The high-level warriors engaging the Demon King in the first round of combat were all fiercely knocked away, some cried out in pain, and others were hit so hard that they spat blood, in a more miserable state than when the Demon King was inside the tower.
Among them, Lizard Tamer Raj, who once claimed to single-handedly kill the Demon King, drew people’s ire. Because he was resting in turns and was somewhat further from the front line, he didn’t face the Demon King in the first wave, yet now as his companions couldn’t withstand the pressure, not only did he fail to advance and intercept, he instead started retreating backward, acting rather cowardly.
"Raj! Stop the Demon King!"
Seeing this, a warrior loudly reminded Raj, hoping he would recall his previously bold words, but Raj now only felt that the threat of the true form of the Demon King was beyond his imagination and had no confidence in facing it directly.
"Sorry everyone! Without my beloved lizard, I can’t stop it!"
Raj shouted while retreating, passing all the pressure to others.
"Let me try! Famar Giant Dragon Strike!"
A high-level warrior using a great sword as a weapon quickly deployed his battle skill, his body expanding dramatically, transforming into a small giant, wielding his heavy sword while rushing towards the Demon King’s true form, advancing like a hot knife through butter amidst the frontline.
The Demon King’s true form seemingly detected his movement, instantly rolling towards him without a care; the two collided and instantly separated, with the Demon King continuing its fierce advance, but the small giant state sword-wielding warrior’s weapon was shattered on the spot, and he was knocked flying like a spinning top, seemingly unable to move anymore.
"What terrifying physique and strength!"
Other warriors, witnessing this, instantly understood why the Demon King was indeed a Demon King; just by this sheer power collision, it indeed holds this qualification. It’s important to note that those blocking the Demon King now weren’t ordinary warriors; they were renowned elite figures from various regions, far surpassing average levels.
"I’ve restrained it! Everyone, attack quickly!"
Suddenly, the Duke’s voice emanated from the air, and everyone saw the Demon King’s true form encased in a semi-transparent purple cube, unable to break through temporarily.
"Good opportunity!"
"Everyone, kill it quickly!"
"Void Annihilation Slash!"
"Moonfall Arrow!"
"Advanced Dissociation Skill!"
"Flaming Breath!"
...
Everyone knew this must be the Duke’s trump card power used to counter the Demon King, so they immediately unleashed all their abilities; swordsmen slashed formidable sword rays, archers shot the most terrifying special arrows, the Red Dragon lady spewed fierce flames, and mages didn’t hesitate to use mana on normally unused high-power spells, making the enormous body of the encased Demon King seem engulfed in waves of radiant light.
The player group also wasn’t idle at this moment. Lizard Tamers, who were already on the battlefield but at a distance, took out a machine gun and began crazily shooting at the Demon King’s head, while multiple gunner warriors in the distant woods pulled their triggers, sniper bullets traversing hundreds of meters towards the Demon King’s vital spots.
Those players who were not gunners or lacked guns were even crazier; some took out rocket launchers and fired at the Demon King, paying no heed to the severe explosions potentially harming their allies, while others used bizarre gadgets, like using blood-stained nails on straw figures to launch eerie side attacks, focusing on combat from a safe distance, not considering a head-on confrontation with the Demon King.
All these attacks combined were truly formidable, causing the confined Demon King to emit angry, painful roars amidst intense fires, rapidly collapsing the purple transparent cube restraining its body due to the accumulation of various attacks.
"You all must die!"
What’s making everyone feel ominous is that the Demon King ultimately withstood such intense mixed attacks; while the destructive forces concentrated on it hadn’t ceased, it broke free of restraint and charged skyward, not only avoiding most of the subsequent damage but also launching counterattacks against others.
"Light of Annihilation!"
At this moment, the Demon King situated in high altitude unleashed its full power, causing crimson light to burn and radiate from its body, covering the ground below, aiming at all NPCs and players. This ability was exceptionally domineering, instantly annihilating and turning to white ash any being whose related resistance didn’t reach a certain level.
