Chapter 885: Stop Talking Nonsense, Let’s Get to It!

The Demon King stood up, his black cape swaying behind him, and a vast surge of magic emanated from his body. He was ready to go out and see for himself. The Demon Kings Castle stood beneath the towering Jagged Peaks, enduring for over a thousand years. No human had ever managed to reach this place, let alone penetrate its walls. It was an utterly incomprehensible level of audacity.

He truly had to go out and see which lunatic was acting so arrogantly.

However, as soon as he stood up, he sensed that something was amiss. The flow of the air? Refraction of the light? The scent of humans? A murderous aura?

It seemed like a little bit of everything!

The Demon King abruptly turned around, his black cape billowing, and he kicked backward.

Thud!

A would-be assassin who had just stealthily moved behind him, yet to launch his surprise attack, was struck in the chest by this kick. His stealth was undone as he materialized from within the folds of his black robe. The force of the kick was tremendous, sending the assassin hurtling backward to crash against the wall behind the throne. Dust showered down as the impact shook the wall.

The assassin coughed up a mouthful of blood, staining his masked cloth crimson.

At the same time, the Demon King swiftly spun around and delivered a kick toward another empty space. There stood Suofa, who had just stealthily entered. Upon witnessing the other assassin being kicked away, she refrained from making any hasty moves. She wasnt an adventurer assassin, but a military one. Her comrades failed assassination attempt didnt necessarily mean she was discovered. She could still wait for an opportunity to complete the mission her companion hadnt.

Regrettably, she was also discovered.

The Demon Kings kick was lightning-fast. While the assassin was indeed a member of the agile and nimble profession, it didnt mean they could match the Demon Kings speed. Suofa barely managed to raise her arms, crossing them in front of her to shield herself. The Demon Kings foot struck her crossed arms with a resounding impact.

Boom!

Suofa was sent flying backward by the force of the blow, her arms tingling numbly.

In an instant, he transformed into a streak of red light, covering several meters in a split second. He wedged himself between Xuelu and the Demon King, raising his mithril shield upwards. He also switched back to his Defensive Stance, and with a resounding crash, he successfully blocked the Demon Kings palm strike.

The Demon King exclaimed, Oh? Swift stance changes, an experienced veteran warrior!

Chris sneered, Otherwise, how would I have the guts to come here?

The Demon King laughed heartily. But that red-haired female magician seems rather clueless.

Xuelu blushed as she heard those words. Indeed, in that split second earlier, if it werent for Chriss quick reaction, she might have taken a slap to the head. Although she was well-equipped, her gear leaned towards offense, and her defensive capabilities were not outstanding. A single slap could potentially have slapped her to her death and left her waiting for Godfathers resurrection.

She, along with Gorda and Jike, were classic examples of having great equipment but lacking corresponding combat experience.

The Demon King launched a kick, Chris held his shield steady, and with a resounding clash, he was pushed back several steps from the impact.

Meanwhile, the Hunters five throwing knives had already reached the Demon King. With a casual wave of his hand, the Demon King deflected all five knives. However, at that moment, Jike, who was a bit slow to react, drew his bow and fired an arrow.

Just like before, the Demon King casually swatted

Plunk! The arrow shot by Jike lodged into the Demon Kings forearm, piercing the flesh and injuring the Demon King.

Huh? The Demon King was surprised. Whats this?!

He had thought that a casual swat would easily deflect any throwing knives or arrows, but he hadnt expected this humans arrow to be so powerful, resisting his swat and even managing to wound him.

Fireball!

The Fire Magicians magic was unleashed a fireball the size of a washbasin. It looked incredibly fierce as it hurtled towards the Demon Kings face. However, with a kick, the Demon King sent the fireball soaring upwards. It struck the ceiling with a deafening explosion, sending a wave of heat through the room, making everyone feel as though they had been briefly roasted.
