Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1420 - 1350: The Demon King Defects

As soon as they saw the Reaper’s Command, all the Dragon Knights were taken aback and hurriedly lowered their heads, their dragon mounts also obediently bowing their heads.

The captain immediately withdrew his long spear and said respectfully, "Honorable Warden, I have been greatly offensive, please forgive me."

Huang Yi waved his hand and said, "It’s alright, quickly take me to see the four Demon Dragon Knight Generals!"

"Please follow me!" The Silver Dragon Knight said, urging his silver dragon mount to fly toward the largest dragon cave in the middle of the cliff.

...

Soon, within that massive dragon cave, Huang Yi met the four Demon Dragon Knights.

Each of the four Demon Dragon Knights rode a Dark Demon Dragon. The four Dark Demon Dragons coiled within the enormous cave, resembling four small black mountains.

The four Dragon Knights sat cross-legged on their backs, their expressions as calm as ancient wells, like four statues.

"Respected four Demon Dragon Knight Generals, I am the current warden of Heroes’ Prison." Huang Yi looked at the silhouettes of the four Demon Dragon Knights and said loudly, "I just met the King of Fear, whom you once captured together."

"The King of Fear?" One of the Demon Dragon Knights finally opened his eyes, staring at Huang Yi.

"Yes!" Huang Yi nodded, taking out the four medallions, "I need you to restore the powers of these four medallions, so I can continue to seal the King of Fear’s power with them."

One of the Demon Dragon Knights gestured with his hand, and one medallion in Huang Yi’s hand automatically flew over and landed in his hand.

The Demon Dragon Knight caressed the surface of the medallion, showing a nostalgic expression, and sighed, "How many years has it been? To see this medallion again! Back then, we chased him all the way to a place called the Xuanhuang World before finally capturing the King of Fear."

"Extraworld?" Huang Yi grew curious, "What kind of place is Extraworld?"

"It’s the world you mortals speak of, one that you can never fly to." A Demon Dragon Knight replied, "Not all worlds are connected to our Heaven Realm. In the extremely distant unknown universe, there are worlds not connected to us. Those who ascend to godhood in those worlds do not come to our Heaven Realm but go somewhere else. These worlds are called the extradimensional worlds. Of course, ordinary people can never go there, and even we have to go through great trouble to reach them."

Another Demon Dragon Knight also opened his eyes and said, "Those extradimensional worlds are extremely dangerous. There, Lord Reaper has no followers, and the Death God’s Temple has no influence. They have their own gods, their own heavenly realms, and their own training methods. The cosmic rules are different, everything is unfamiliar."

"Indeed! The Xuanhuang World where the King of Fear fled was such a place." The last Demon Dragon Knight said, "The King of Fear had the strength of a Mortal God back then. Once he left his Demon-Sealing Space, he was supposed to be forcibly drawn to the Heaven Realm. However, after fleeing to the Xuanhuang World, he wasn’t restricted in any way, the world’s rules were different. In our world, those who can ascend to godhood cannot in the Xuanhuang World, which has more powerful beings. Back then, we even offended a prominent figure in the Xuanhuang World while capturing the King of Fear and almost couldn’t return."

"I see." Huang Yi suddenly understood.

However, he didn’t pay too much attention to the extradimensional world since it belonged to a very obscure part of the virtual world’s lore, and players probably wouldn’t have much interaction with it in the future.

As they chatted, the four Demon Dragon Knights finally recharged the four medallions and handed them to Huang Yi.

"If you want to make the King of Fear your Hero Empire Guardian, you only need to use three medallions to seal him. He still won’t ascend to godhood but won’t be too suppressed either. The remaining medallion, you can use as your equipment, equivalent to epic equipment power, which should be somewhat beneficial to you." A Demon Dragon Knight kindly reminded him.

Huang Yi’s eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded, "Thank you very much!"

With that, he began to sift through the four medallions, ultimately choosing the [Black Rose Faith Medal].

This medallion was the most beautiful, engraved with a lifelike black rose. A drop of crystal-clear dew clung to the rose petal, moving with the medallion but never falling, exquisitely crafted.

At the same time, its attributes were the most compatible with Huang Yi—

[Black Rose Faith Medal] (Special Equipment)

Power of Faith acquisition speed +10%

Gives yourself and your partner a permanent [Rose] state: Each attribute will not be less than 70% of the counterpart’s attribute.

Item Description: Black roses, a drop of eternal dew, tears of the lover.

Huang Yi is in great need of the Power of Faith. Once he reaches 1 billion Power of Faith, he can be promoted to an Epic Hero. Earlier in the Purgatory’s Sky Ladder, Spirit Demon was only at the Ascension Stage but could compete with Huang Yi at the Demigod Level, mainly because Spirit Demon was an Epic Hero, significantly augmented in strength.

The second attribute, [Rose] state, greatly enhanced Qin Shiyu’s power.

Qin Shiyu was originally a renowned expert, but as the Hero Empire expanded, she shifted her focus to management, her strength gradually falling behind, dropping out of the ranks of top experts, with her level only at the High-Level Heavenly Realm. Now, with Huang Yi wearing this medallion, all of Qin Shiyu’s attributes will not be less than 70% of Huang Yi’s! Her strength will be forcibly elevated, regaining her place among the top experts.

Huang Yi immediately donned this special equipment and then returned to Heroes’ Prison.

He went to the 21st cell again and found the King of Fear, pinning the remaining three medallions on his shoulders and chest.

The three medallions emitted dazzling brilliance, vaguely forming a cycle, with red light flowing among them, enveloping the King of Fear’s head, eventually channeling into his skull-less brain, sealing his power.

Now, even if released, the King of Fear wouldn’t ascend and became akin to Peerless Demon Emperor, Ye Konghua.

"Alright, let’s set the contract!" Huang Yi waved his hand, brandishing the Hero Empire’s flag.

The King of Fear nodded, setting up a contract spell and solemnly declared, "In the name of the King of Fear, I announce that if the God of Slaughter grants me true freedom after a year, I am willing to become the Hero Empire’s Guardian!"

"I agree!" Huang Yi immediately confirmed the contract’s effectuation.

The next moment, the flag of the Hero Empire bore the King of Fear’s name.

Thus, this former Demon King finally switched sides, becoming a member of the Hero Empire.
