Chapter 882: Something Feels a Bit Off

Chris and his group began to excitedly clear the Demon King City, brushing through layer by layer, ascending one floor after another.

This was what all adventurers had dreamed of, so they proceeded with particular caution. In the dim corridors, they took a few steps forward, carefully opened a door, and peeked inside. A demon was sleeping on a bed.

The assassin moved silently and stealthily. While Suofa had no interest in adventuring, assassinating demons was her job, so she followed closely. The two assassins positioned themselves beside the demons bed, gestured, and then both plunged their daggers into the demons vital points simultaneously.

At the same time, Chris approached from the side and covered the demons mouth. Gorda also followed, delivering a heavy shield strike to the demons head.

The demon, under attack in its sleep, was jolted awake by the critical strike of the two assassins. Upon waking up, it was already seriously wounded and realized someone was covering its mouth. Shortly after, it was struck on the forehead with a shield, dying in a bewildered state.

Ha! Dealt with a demon!

The eight adventurers were overjoyed. Normally, dealing with a demon is quite challenging, but here in the Demon King City, demons dont even have any defenses. Hehe, we easily took down one. If we stay quiet and make our way to the top floor, we might just wipe out all the demons in the castle. Amazing! This could be recorded in the adventurers epic tales.

Coming here was the right decision after all!

My entire body is boiling with excitement!

What are we waiting for? Lets move to the next room quickly.

Suofa calmly reminded them, Dont be foolish. Arent we here to find evidence of collusion between the Church of Light and the Demon King? Dont rush to the next room. Take your time to search for any letters or clues here. We cant afford to miss any room.

Her reminder cooled down the groups excitement a bit, and they quickly searched the room. However, they didnt find anything. Yet, this didnt discourage them. If they couldnt find a clue, they would move to the next room, searching room by room. Maybe they would stumble upon something eventually.

Moreover, this evidence might not even exist; it might be impossible to find. Such situations were common in adventurers long careers.

With caution, the group continued their adventure.

They climbed another floor, opened a door, and faced a Doomsday Guardian, which they defeated.

Climbing yet another floor, they encountered an Iron Hook Marauder, which they defeated.

Another floor up, a Void Caller, defeated.

Continuing upwards, they confronted a Stoutfoot Imp, which they defeated.

As they progressed, Xuelu suddenly felt that something was amiss. Unable to hold back, she turned to her teammates and said, Have you all noticed that the higher we go, the lower-ranked the demons we encounter? Weve climbed several floors now, and were facing even lowly imps. Theyre complete pushovers! With our strength, we can easily take them down in a single hit. Theyre nowhere near as challenging as the demons we first encountered.

In fact, everyone had already sensed this, but no one had voiced it. When Xuelu mentioned it, Chris couldnt help but say, Yeah, the higher we go, the easier it gets. Now that I think about it, the demons we encountered initially, then the spider demon, the Doomsday Guardian Huh? Exactly, with each floor we ascend, the demons levels seem to decrease.

Damn it! Gorda exclaimed, Could it be that the Demon Kings Castle is the opposite? The deeper we go, the closer we get to the Demon King?

Well thats entirely possible! Chris said, somewhat embarrassed. Demons are creatures that naturally dwell underground, and its quite possible the Demon King resides in the lowest level.

Right we just need to go up one more floor, to the top floor, and if we find that the entire top floor is filled with imps, well know for sure.

Normal imps are the lowest-ranking demons, even below Stoutfoot Imps.

Chris took the lead and ascended the stairs, with everyone following suit, rushing upstairs.

As soon as they reached the next floor, they spotted a skinny little imp, gazing at them with curious eyes.

Damn it! Its indeed imps!

Lets head back down. The Demon King must be below!
