Chapter 344 Appearing and Ready to Fight
Time passed slowly, and half a month passed in a flash.
During this half month, Wang Zhifan lived a peaceful life of cultivation, occasionally going out to meet with players he knew to learn about the latest situation.
The Grand Duke also sent someone to invite him to join the group of high-level professionals to deal with the threat of the demon king, but he declined politely, saying that he preferred to act alone.
There was almost no abnormality in this dungeon world during this period, but the real threat had suddenly arrived in a corner.
On this day, a huge vortex suddenly appeared on the vast sea, and in the center of the vortex, there was a space pattern that exuded an extremely dark atmosphere, as if an ancient cage was damaged.
Boom~Boom~Boom!
Three dull and tooth-grinding sounds appeared in succession. This was not the sound of any collision between entities, but the reaction produced by pure power confrontation.
As the dark lines in the center of the huge vortex on the sea surface increased, a pair of hands covered with black scales and sharp nails stretched out, violently tearing apart all the forces that bound it, and then the figure of the owner of the hands emerged from it.
What a terrifying existence it was. Its body was as huge as a hill, with a basic humanoid form but completely different from humans. Not only was its body covered with black scales, but it also had dense barbs behind its neck and back. Its hands and feet were as huge and sharp as the most ferocious beasts. Its face was so ferocious that it could stop a child from crying, like a demon from hell. Its long and huge curved horns magnified this terrifying image to the extreme.
There is no doubt that this is a very powerful demon, and based on the way it appeared, it can be inferred that it is the demon king that the players are waiting for!
"Two thousand years... two thousand years..."
As soon as he got out of the cage, the demon king opened his rough arms, turned his ferocious head with a pair of huge horns, and looked at the vast sea.
The sea surface was not much different from when it had not appeared just now. It was still relatively calm with waves. But if you look closely, you can find that the sea water was stained with a corrupt smell centered on the place where it appeared, as if it had been infected and deteriorated.
"This is a world that makes me feel uncomfortable... I must completely transform it! Start by eliminating all evil humans!"
The scene seemed to make the demon king who had just been released from prison unhappy, and he quickly confirmed his mission.
At this time, a ship carrying hundreds of passengers passed by the nearby sea area. The ship was thousands of meters away from the demon king, so he did not realize what a terrible existence appeared on the sea surface at the first time, and only thought it was a large black reef.
But the next moment, a scarlet light shone on the ship. In an instant, the entire ship began to rust and rot, and the passengers and sailors on it died collectively in the blink of an eye, all transformed into evil creatures without thoughts!
"Servants! Follow my orders! Attack all evil creatures! Destroy all inferior creatures!"
The devil used his power to obtain a group of followers in an instant, and then gave orders with a heartfelt joy.
But as the ship, which had become a ghost ship, obeyed the order and sailed away, the devil turned his head and looked at another place on the sea. There, an invisible portal appeared out of thin air, and an illusory existence walked out of it, which looked a bit like the devil.
"Is it you? I thought those humans were rushing here to die."
The devil seemed to know this visitor and knew that it was not his enemy, at least not yet.
"Morpheus, I finally waited for you to come out."
The visitor quickly flew to the devil and stopped. Its body was illusory, and it was obvious that it was not the real body, so it was not afraid of the devil, whose aura was much stronger than his.
"Why did you come here? Don't think I will give you this world! Not even a part of it!"
The demon king looked at the suspected fellow who was approaching him, and said threateningly, his huge and sharp hands rubbing slightly, and he might tear the phantom apart at any time.
"No! Morpheus, I'm here just to help you! Have you forgotten how you failed two thousand years ago!"
The phantom immediately raised his voice and replied, causing the demon king's ferocious scarlet eyes to move.
"I did lose... but failure is only in the past. This time I will completely conquer this world! No help is needed!"
The demon king raised his huge and terrifying hands, indicating that he was full of fighting spirit and confidence.
"Don't pretend! Morpheus! Admit it! You are weaker now than two thousand years ago! Because you only have one chance left!"
The phantom directly pointed out the demon king's pretense and hit his inner weakness.
"You... why do you know..."
When the demon king heard this, his scarlet eyes stared at the phantom that exposed him, with a bit of shock.
What the other party said about only one chance left actually meant that it had lost the ability to revive infinitely in this world and could no longer do whatever it wanted like before. The reason was that the source of this power, the Undead Dragon, had suddenly fallen. It was very clear that it had signed a contract with the Undead Dragon, but it did not expect that this outsider would also know about it.
"Hehe... Morpheus, don't think I don't know about your contract with the old dragon in the dungeon. I am an expert in contracts."
The phantom spoke in general terms, but mentioned a very critical existence, letting the devil know that it was not just guessing.
However, the devil would not give in just like that. It then said that this was not something that could not be solved, and the situation was still under its control.
"I will find out about this matter and regain the power of immortality! You don't need to intervene!"
It said as it burst out a part of the dark power in its body, causing the phantom's body to begin to waver and produce many ripples.
"Do you feel it? I have been waiting in that damn cage for two thousand years! Two thousand years of hatred! No one can resist it!"
The devil roared, using the powerful dark aura on his body to show that he has become more powerful than before, and he will tear apart any enemy who dares to stand in front of him.
"You are too arrogant, Morpheus! There are already people who are not weaker than you among humans! Now is not two thousand years ago! Without my help, you will fall!"
At this point, the phantom that was about to be torn apart by the devil's powerful momentum was still very determined, persuading the devil to bow to it.
But the devil laughed directly in response, tore the phantom apart with one claw, and didn't care about its words at all, thinking it was nonsense.
"Hahaha! Can humans be stronger than me? This will only make me more excited!"
After driving away the troublemakers, the demon king shrank greatly and turned into a black-skinned human. He flew towards the distant coast at a terrifying speed. Every second, his figure appeared one after another like teleportation and was very hidden. He was no longer as ostentatious as when he broke the seal just now.
This shows that it is not as reckless as it appears. It knows that it needs some disguises at the current stage to make some necessary preparations for its great cause.
When this demon king rushed to the mainland, in a magnificent castle on the mainland, the Grand Duke Agulasrod, who was wearing a white and gold robe, was sitting on a cushion in meditation. He suddenly opened his vicissitudes of life eyes, and his figure flashed and appeared in the luxurious manor near the castle.
"My Lord Duke!"
"Your Excellency the Duke!"
...
Nearly ten powerful human senior professionals are gathered here. They should not be convinced by each other, but facing this respected old man who summoned them, all of them are quite convinced. This is the inevitable effect of the other party's strength, status, and reputation.
Hearing the greetings from these senior professionals, the Grand Duke smiled appropriately, and his deep eyes swept over them one by one, then his expression became serious, and he informed everyone that the business had begun.
"Everyone! My exploration just now has accurate results. The Demon King has escaped from the seal! And my prophecy shows! Its first destination is likely to be the Dark Tower! We will defeat it there! Throw it into the abyss of fall!"
The old man said in a deep voice.
"What? The Demon King has appeared!"
"Let's go to the Dark Tower to block it!"
"Why would the Demon King go to the tower?"
"Who knows? But I heard that some of the Demon King's equipment is in the tower."
"Victory belongs to mankind!"
...
These professionals talked a lot after listening to the old man's words, but the same thing is that no one is afraid of the Demon King, and everyone is in a state of high fighting spirit.
"Ah! Your Excellency the Duke! Please give the order! My beloved lizard can't wait to devour the evil demon king! Victory will definitely belong to us!"
The only player in this group, the lizard rider Raji from India, jumped on the back of his black lizard after hearing this, and seemed to want to charge to the front.
The Duke felt that although this person's strength did not seem to be too strong, his mental state had always surpassed most people, and immediately assigned him as a vanguard to fight the demon king.
The old man smiled and said to the Indian man on the back of the giant lizard:
"Raji, I feel your extraordinary fighting spirit. Now it's up to you to lead everyone to fight the demon king! I will watch you from behind, and I will join the battlefield when necessary! Fight with you!"
The Duke directly stated that he would not be the first to appear in front of the demon king, and someone needed to lead him.
But no one would think there was anything wrong with this. After all, the Duke was a magic professional and the main force of the human side. It was the business of others to rush to the front and hold the demon king. He only needed to use his own strength to maintain the overall situation, and then make the final decision at the critical moment.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke! Everyone follow me! Destroy the damned demon king!"
After hearing this, Raji, who had a slightly dark complexion and sparse beard, patted the black lizard under his butt and rushed to the manor gate first.
But none of the other professionals followed. Everyone stared at the old duke who was a little speechless about Raji's reaction, ignoring Raji who was always too excited.
The old man saw Raji was about to ride his big lizard out of the manor, so he had to wave his staff helplessly and summon a portal in front of Raji, which was the space portal from here to the dark tower.
Raji and his big lizard vehicle immediately crashed into it and quickly arrived at the magnificent tower on the other side of the portal. The other professionals followed and said goodbye to the old man and entered the portal to make the final preparations for the battle against the devil.
Seeing these high-level professionals with all kinds of professions go over to hand over to the tower guards, the Grand Duke thought of another person at this moment, a strange young man who he had sent people to invite many times recently but rejected him, saying that he wanted to act alone.
"My prophecy tells me that this person is the greatest hope for destroying the Demon King this time. I must let him know the Demon King's movements."
He quickly waved his staff to summon a magic pigeon, and let the pigeon contact Wang Zhifan at a very fast speed and inform him of the latest situation of the Demon King.
Wang Zhifan was practicing in seclusion in a high-end hotel when he heard the message delivered by the magic pigeon. It must be said that this information came very timely, otherwise he would definitely continue to bury his head in practice and not know that the enemy had arrived.
"Sir, the Demon King will go to one of the dark towers and dungeons. The towers are already guarded by many professionals. I hope to hand over the dungeons to you. We have not arranged any forces there. You can act independently."
Unlike the information shared with other senior professionals, the Duke told Wang Zhifan the complete future he foresaw, that is, the Demon King will appear in one of the dark towers or dungeons, instead of the tower he told others before.
This is mainly because the Duke hopes that both places will be guarded by someone, and he also knows that Wang Zhifan's strength is far beyond that of ordinary high-level professionals, so he decided to arrange the professionals in the high tower that is more conducive to fighting, so that they can besiege the possible demon king, and the underground city will be left to the powerful Wang Zhifan alone.
It can be said that this is not a deception to others, but a choice made for the convenience of force allocation. Otherwise, the power of both sides is likely to be unbalanced, resulting in the demon king having a chance to break through.
After Wang Zhifan learned of this information, he did not leave immediately, but thought about the accuracy of this information. Anyway, he had already arranged a clone in the underground city and could move there at any time.
"According to the intelligence I have learned these days, the Demon King went to the tower to retrieve his former equipment and to summon some of his subordinates. As for his rush to the dungeon, summoning his subordinates is definitely an important reason, but it is hard not to suspect that he also went there for the Undead Dragon and wanted to take back the power of the Undead Dragon... Then I have to take precautions against Itris..."
More than half a month later, Wang Zhifan learned from his clone that Itris had been resurrected a long time ago, and he had some exchanges with his clone, but it was doubtful what attitude this lucky alien girl had towards the Demon King.
You know, the tribe to which Itris belongs has always regarded the Demon King as the nominal supreme ruler. If she decisively surrenders to the Demon King, the situation will be a bit bad.
