Chapter 27 The Commander on the Throne
"Step~"

Standing on solid ground again, the bright light around him made Yu Zhun, who was already used to the dim environment in the Netherworld Trial, feel a little blinded.

He shook his head violently and found himself in a magnificent hall.

Standing here, he could vaguely see the scene outside the hall. Outside was still the familiar darkness, but there was light surging here.

“@#￥@…”

Ancient and mysterious syllables echoed in the hall; this was the language of the demonized elves.

But this time, Yu Zhun was actually able to understand the meaning of the other party's language.

"You came."

Yu Zhun raised his head in surprise, looking up at the being sitting on the throne at the highest point of the hall.

He had long pointed ears like the demonized elf, and his long golden hair was loose. He held his cheek with one hand and looked down at Yu Zhun.

But unlike the demonized elves encountered before, there were no traces of magic patterns on his body, and his eye color was not the black of the demonized elves.

Those were a pair of azure blue eyes, which seemed to be brewing emotions as deep as the sea.

When their eyes met, Yu Zhun felt an indescribable silence in the other person's eyes, as if he had experienced an extremely desperate situation before.

"You...can communicate?"

Yu Zhun spoke cautiously.

Up to now, he has not seen the opponent's panel, which means that the opponent is not an opponent that needs to be defeated.

"Communication... sort of." The male elf's eyes showed some emotion. "You are the second human to come here in all these years."

"Has anyone been here before?" Yu Zhun looked surprised.

"Well, it was several decades ago." The male elf gave a general number, "That person told me a lot about your race."

"Excuse me, what is your name?"

"Call..." The male elf shook his head slightly, "Why bother calling a loser who is not worthy of being named?"

Yu Zhun blinked and showed a puzzled look, but the other party did not want to explain.

"My waking hours are getting shorter and shorter." The male elf looked at the darkness outside the hall. "When the last human came, I could still chat with him for a few more words, but now..."

"It only took a few words for me to start to suppress my anger."

"I'll trouble you to help me get rid of it later."

"You must be very talented to be here, so work hard!"

"Don't let your race be like us..."

The male elf's voice suddenly stopped and he froze in place like a stone statue. The bright interior of the hall was as if a light switch had been pressed, and it instantly fell into the same darkness as the outside world. In the darkness, Yu Zhun could clearly see that the male elf's body and face were quickly covered with magic patterns.

The tightly closed eyes opened again, turning into a deep darkness.

[Demonized Elf Commander (Lv20)]

【Attributes:
Life: 400000
Mana: 10000
Physical Attack: 2500
Magic attack: 2500
Physical Defense: 700
Magic Defense: 700】

[Skill 1 (Death Curse): Designate a target and immediately cause true damage equal to 90% of the opponent's current health]

[Skill 2 (Burn): Designate a target and immediately cause true damage equal to 20% of the opponent's lost health]

[Skill 3 (Lord's Blessing): When HP is below 50%, physical defense and magic defense will be increased by 100% immediately]

“No, you fucking…” After seeing the skills, Yu Zhun felt a chill running straight to the top of his head.

Let me help you get rid of it?

I think you want to free me?
If these 1st and 2nd skills are used consecutively, who will still be alive?

Before he could complain, Yu Zhun felt a chill on his back.

The demonized elf leader raised a hand and pointed at him.

Almost instinctively, Yu Zhun dodged and moved in the dim hall, trying to avoid the attack, but a black skull appeared right above his head.

Skill [Death Curse], activated!

【Life-1079】

When the [Void] effect ended, Yu Zhun's face turned black as he looked at his plummeting health bar. He then gritted his teeth as he looked at the demonized elf leader who was holding his hands in front of his chest and preparing to start another skill.

The opponent should use skill 2 now. With his current health, he won't die even if he receives another hit. But [Etherealization] has entered cooldown.

You must kill the Demonic Elf Leader before he uses Skill 1 again!

With a stomping of his foot, Yu Zhun rushed towards the demonized elf leader.

"You haven't even asked me my name yet!"

"My name is Yu Zhun, remember this!"

"Om-"

As the demonized elf leader clasped his hands together, a low humming sound resounded throughout the hall, and red words appeared above Yu Zhun's head again.

Skill [Burial], activated!

【Life-216】

And Yu Zhun had already arrived in front of the other party.

"Liberation, huh?"

"I'll give it to you!"

The dagger pierced into the chest of the demonized elf leader, and scarlet words appeared above his head.

【Life-400000】

The body of the demonized elf leader shook violently, the magic patterns faded like the tide, and his eyes became clear again.

"Thank you...Yu Zhun."

"I am... the king."

"No... Commander."

After uttering his last words with difficulty, he collapsed on his throne.

Yu Zhun stood in front of the throne in silence.

He suddenly thought of a detail that he had overlooked before.

The demonized orc leader also sits on the throne when he appears.

"How can the one sitting on the throne be the commander?"

No one could answer his question.

This time there was no [Go to next level] option. Yu Zhun scanned the lines of text and finally looked at the [Invitation to the Netherworld Abyss].

"Before the job change... that is, the highest entry level is Lv30?" Yu Zhun took a deep breath and looked at the elf on the throne who had lost his voice.

“I will come again.”

As for now…

It's time to leave.
