Chapter 876: Finally Arriving at the Demon King City
The group had been walking for two days through the cracks emitting a reddish glow. Suddenly, the path ahead widened, revealing a vast underground cavern. The cave was wide, larger than several football fields put together, and the ceiling soared high above, with a space of at least a hundred yards upward.
Standing at the edge of the cavern, the group looked towards the center of the underground chamber. In an instant, they laid eyes on a black and towering castle. This castle stood hundreds of yards tall, its base rooted in the earth and its turrets reaching up to the caves ceiling, this was the demon kings castle in the demon king city. The overall architectural style belonged to that typical ancient castle design. A moat was dug around the castle, and within it flowed not water, but scalding molten lava.
The lava emitted a red glow, casting a purplish hue upon the castles black stone, creating an aura of mystery. Most eerie was what lay above the castle a massive carved head, bearing a demonic visage with a pair of horned devils.
Without a doubt, this was the castle inhabited by the demon king.Updated chapters at novelhall.com
The eight adventurers were all filled with excitement. Ah, the Demon King City! Weve finally found it! For centuries, countless adventurers have failed to locate the Demon King City, yet weve managed to find it.
Undoubtedly, the few present had achieved an epic accomplishment. Even if they didnt enter, as long as they accurately marked the location of the Demon King City on a map and brought it back to the Adventurers Guild, they would become heroes of unprecedented fame, revered by all adventurers.
However, true men of valor wouldnt return empty-handed after reaching the treasure mountain. The more critical the moment, the harder adventurers found it to suppress their urge for exploration. Chris turned to Robb and said, Thank you for controlling this succubus. Without her guidance, we wouldnt have known how long it would take to find this castle in this complex underground world.
Robb smiled and replied, Its nothing, really. Its all the trouble caused by my dashing handsomeness.
The group:
Well, he certainly was handsome, but there was no need to state it like that.
Chris managed to hold back his urge to retort and whispered, Now we need to figure out a way to infiltrate this castle.
Xuelu, from behind, asked, On that note, it seems like the demons are gathering towards the north of the Desert Kingdom. Wouldnt they be left empty-handed if we enter the Demon King City now?
The group set off towards the looming Demon King City, straight towards the castle ahead. It appeared close, but in reality, they had quite a distance to cover. The Demon King City was filled with the foul stench of demons, and footprints of creatures were visible everywhere. This indicated that not long ago, many demons had been active here. However, despite walking for a while, they hadnt encountered a single demon, suggesting that they had all left, presumably gathering towards the Desert Kingdom to confront Godfather.
Chris couldnt help but express concern, With the demon army and the addition of the Church of Light and the Kingdom of Norma, will Godfather be in danger? Although he can confront the Black Dragon, history has never seen such a massive force deployed against it. Perhaps this overwhelming strength could even defeat the Black Dragon.
As he spoke, Robb became a bit worried about Elsies situation. He wasnt there, and the forces prepared on that side were meant to confront him. Could Elsie handle such a massive enemy force?
He couldnt help but think of taking out his phone and making a call to Elsie.
Unexpectedly, as he was rummaging through his bag for a crystal ball, he suddenly noticed a large communication crystal ball emitting light. This was the specialized crystal ball he used to communicate with the queen.
Oh no, he hadnt had a chat with the queen over the phone in days.
Robb glanced at Chris and his group ahead and felt that it wouldnt be appropriate to have a conversation with the queen in front of them. He needed to avoid that. He quickly said, Oh, I suddenly have a bit of a stomachache. Im going to find a rock and squat behind it.
Chris turned back and said, Hey, now?
Robb replied, Exactly now. This is the time to do it, to find a spot to squat. If I feel the need to do it after we enter the Demon Kings Castle, wouldnt that be even worse?
Chris thought about it carefully and realized Robb had a point. He waved his hand and said, Go ahead, well wait for you.
However, he quickly reconsidered and felt something was off. Hey, its dangerous here, and youre wandering off alone to squat behind a rock. Isnt that too risky? Should I go with you?
Robb retorted, Do you like having someone watch you while youre squatting?
Chris stuttered, Well, uh, I mean alright, just be careful, and if theres any danger, call for help right away.
