My front door leads to a comic strip

Chapter 200, page 199: A single sword razes the Demon King's castle; the Paradise guides the magic, fast forward to the wedding, the bride is Celia.

In the far north, the wind and snow never end.

"arrive."

Gu Yuan's voice broke the deathly silence of the wind and snow. He was the first to leap off the back of the flying dragon, his boots sinking deep into the snow with a "plop".

His gaze was sharp, piercing through the swirling snowflakes and locking onto the massive shadow that loomed over the ice field ahead.

—It was a sprawling castle complex, with black boulders looming in and out of sight amidst the vast snow-covered landscape; it was none other than the Demon King's Castle.

Milie and Celia followed closely behind, landing lightly.

Despite being enchanted with a "warm and cozy" spell, the bone-chilling cold still made them unconsciously wrap themselves tighter in their heavy coats.

The two looked ahead at Gu Yuan, who was only wearing light armor but seemed not to feel the cold, and couldn't help but reveal a hint of admiration for the warrior's physique.

Gu Yuan didn't notice their gazes. His powerful perception spread out like invisible ripples, quickly sweeping across the entire Demon King's City area.

After a moment, he frowned slightly: "There are very few demons left in the city—it seems they did indeed receive news of the Demon King's fall, and most of them have fled."

He paused, his tone knowing, "Those we cleared off the road should be the main force among them."

Milialiarde, recovering from her slight discomfort in the cold, nodded and asked cautiously, "So, should we just charge in? What if there are traps?"

"Yes, but there's no need to worry about it." Gu Yuan's answer was brief and affirmative, carrying a calmness stemming from absolute strength.

He took a deep breath of the icy air, and the surging fighting spirit in his chest rose up.

After the upgrade, not only the basic ability values, but also the total amount and quality of battle aura have been greatly improved.

He raised his hand and made a simple gesture, indicating that the two people behind him should step back a distance.

After the two retreated more than ten meters, Gu Yuan stared at the Demon King's City, thinking, "With my current strength, I should be able to forcibly destroy everything in front of me."

"This Demon King's castle couldn't possibly be built with some kind of special metal, could it?"

In the blink of an eye, Gu Yuan had already made his move.

Without a lengthy buildup or any earth-shattering prelude, he simply and directly swung his sword.

A sword aura, condensed to its fullest extent, detached from the blade and silently swept forward.

The next moment—

"Boom boom!!!"

First came a deep, soul-shaking hum, followed by a terrifying cracking sound, like hundreds of thunderbolts exploding at the same time!

The moment the sword energy touched the castle, it was like a hot knife cutting into grease, penetrating it without any resistance.

Immediately afterwards, with the trajectory of the sword energy as the boundary, the majestic city walls, towering towers, and massive main castle—all the black buildings in sight—began to slide irreversibly downwards!

"Boom—!!!"

Snow dust billowed into the sky, and boulders tumbled down, kicking up even more snow foam. The roaring sound echoed through the mountains for a long time.

The Demon King's castle was razed to the ground by a single sword strike!

Millie Alde gazed at the divine power of the sword strike, stunned into silence, almost forgetting to breathe.

Seria was also slightly taken aback, a hint of disbelief flashing in her golden eyes, which then turned into deep surprise and scrutiny.

"This destructive power—" A wave of emotion surged within her. He definitely hadn't used his true strength when he fought me before!

Just as Celie's emotions were churning, the demons hiding in the ruins of the Demon King's castle also "appeared"—in the form of corpses.

Gu Yuan's indiscriminate sword strike not only cleaved through the buildings, but also slaughtered all the demons standing in the city, regardless of their strength.

Seven or eight headless corpses radiating powerful magical energy, and a creature missing half its body and dying a gruesome death, lay conspicuously amidst the collapsed ruins and the red-stained snow.

"At the level of the Seven Sages of Collapse—they didn't even show their faces, and yet—"

Celia recognized the lingering magical fluctuations and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Even for her, dealing with such a large number of demons would require some effort, while Gu Yuan only needed the aftershock of a single sword strike.

However, while everyone's attention was drawn to this earth-shattering sword strike, something moved extremely slightly in a shadowy corner of the ruins.

One of the Seven Sages of Collapse, "Glaosam," was curled up in a crevice of the ruins, his heart pounding in his chest.

He suppressed his breathing and all vital signs, and even slowed down his thinking.

"A monster—it's a monster!"

Through the crack, he stared in horror at the figure standing with a sword in hand. His Majesty had been defeated by such inhuman power? No wonder—

Thinking about the "worst lot" he had drawn, which assigned him to cover the rear and gather as much intelligence as possible, a huge wave of despair and disgust washed over him.

"Confront them head-on? Are you kidding me? — What's the difference between that and suicide?"

His only hope lay in the mental magic he was so proud of, which could completely erase his own existence.

This was his only means of survival in countless perilous situations.

At this moment, Grao's hopes are once again pinned on this.

He kept his breathing low as he continued to lie in wait, trying to gather more intelligence and looking for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow, or at least severely damage his opponent.

Looking at the Demon King's City destroyed by a single sword strike and the corpses of the fallen demons, Gu Yuan was quite satisfied with the power of his sword.

The power of this sword strike has surpassed that of Kraft back then.

He felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings) and then thought it was only natural, after all, his strength was no longer comparable to what it used to be.

He quickly regained his composure and continued to scan his surroundings to see if there were any other survivors.

The Demon King's castle has been destroyed, and the demons have lost their last stronghold. From now on, they can only be hunted down like stray dogs.

Just as he was pondering this, a sudden sense of crisis arose in his heart without warning.

The killing intent was obvious, but all that could be seen was snow and ruins, nothing at all! Perception was also nonexistent.

Gu Yuan's mind sharpened.

The skill's perception doesn't fail—either the guy is outside my detection range, or I simply can't see him.

The former is impossible, but if it's the latter—

In a flash, memories of another world surfaced.

In the comics, there's a demon named Graozam who uses mental magic, can alter his own presence, and is extremely skilled at stealth!

It might not be him, but he's the most likely candidate.

The magic can be activated as long as the user is "seen," regardless of the difference in strength.

Realizing this, Gu Yuan's eyes sharpened, and he unleashed a powerful sword aura that leveled the large area of ​​ruins once again, but he still couldn't find any trace of the enemy.

"So it didn't work after all—" He quickly changed his mind and said to Celia, "There's something hidden nearby that we can't see. It's probably some kind of magic that makes us disappear."

Celia was taken aback for a moment, then understood.

With a cold snort, she lightly raised her slender finger, and a magical wave spread out, instantly detecting and locking onto the "invisible" figure like a radar!

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, it was as if the lurking Grao's Sam had been struck head-on by an invisible hammer!

"Varied--"

He had no idea how he had been discovered. He stumbled violently and flew backward uncontrollably, carving a deep trench in the snow and revealing his true form in a disheveled state!

Seeing this, Gu Yuan looked at Celia with some surprise.

Celia crossed her arms and spoke with an air of self-righteous arrogance: "It's just a magic that eliminates presence; it's essentially a variant of mental interference."

"I am a magician who has lived since the age of mythology. I have at least eight or ten thousand ways to break this kind of trick."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Although I know this is an exaggeration, I still think to myself, "Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure."

After laughing, he turned his cold gaze back to Graosar, who had been exposed in his original form.

"cough--"

Grausam struggled to his feet from the snow, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Seria's attack had clearly caused him serious internal injuries.

He stared at the trio in disbelief, his mind reeling: "You—"

Before they could finish speaking, Gu Yuan and Celia exchanged a glance and instantly reached a tacit understanding.

It seems this is the last remnant of the Demon King's castle; there's no need to hold back.

With his mind made up, Gu Yuan didn't even bother to speak before attacking, his sword flashing once more!

bass!

Grao Sam felt a chill on his waist, followed by a sharp pain. Looking down, he saw his upper body slowly separating from his lower body!

"—What?"

Everything happened in the blink of an eye; his thoughts froze.

This human's decisiveness and ruthlessness far exceeded his imagination, not even giving him a chance to mock or interrogate.

"Hah—" His upper body fell onto the snow, and the rapid passing of life brought him extreme resentment and unwillingness.

The pride of the Seven Sages, the obsession with completing the mission, and the anger at not being able to fully unleash their power overwhelmed the fear of death at this moment.

His distorted gaze was fixed on Gu Yuan and the other two.

In the blink of an eye, an invisible spiritual fluctuation traversed space and instantly enveloped Gu Yuan, Celia, and Millie Alde!

—"The Paradise Transfer Magic"!

This is the ultimate magic he has just developed, with all his heart and soul!

It can delve into the subconscious depths of the target, unearth the "dreams they once thought were impossible to achieve and gave up on," and use this as a blueprint to construct an absolutely realistic dream, banishing and imprisoning the target's consciousness forever until the body perishes!

As the spellcaster, he can freely adjust the passage of time within the dream.

Despite the immense amount of magic required, death looms large, and there's no time to worry about that now.

It was intended as a trump card, but now—

"Ahem—in endless dreams and real pleasures—sink to death—"

Graosam's remaining spirit, filled with endless resentment, coughed up blood and uttered a final curse: "One second in reality, a year in dreams—elves might be able to endure it, but humans—...Your Majesty, I have done no wrong to the demon race—"

With this final thought of self-satisfaction, Grao's body gradually turned to ashes in the snow and disappeared into the wind and snow.

Gu Yuan sheathed his sword, about to say "It's over" to his two companions, when he suddenly felt a sense of disorientation from the depths of his soul.

The frigid cold of the far north seemed to vanish in an instant, and the deafening collapse abruptly ceased.

The world fell into an eerie silence, leaving only the ever-remote beat of his own heart.

Then comes the sensory upheaval: coldness is replaced by warmth, deathly silence is covered by noise, and darkness is dispelled by light.

When his vision returned, he saw the blinding sunlight, the noisy voices of people, and the bright red carpet—

These unfamiliar sensory cues flooded in like a torrent, forcefully overwhelming everything.

Before them stood two exquisitely beautiful elven maidens, dressed in magnificent wedding gowns and holding bouquets of flowers, yet each with a distinct expression—Seria and Miliald.

They stood there as if they were the center of the world.

Gu Yuan was stunned. The scene change was too abrupt and absurd, and he couldn't process it for a moment.

Celia was also stunned.

She looked down incredulously at her wedding dress, then glanced at Miliald beside her, who was also dressed in a wedding gown and looked bewildered.

Finally, their gaze settled on Gu Yuan, who was clearly also out of the loop.

The next second, realizing the absurdity implied by this illusion, and feeling the desecration of being "arranged" in this way, extreme rage erupted!
